Key Terms

Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR), Cloud ARR, adjusted EBITDA, total shareholder return (TSR), +2 more

6 terms

Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) financial

"Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR): Achievement (including overachievement) of the ARR target set in the annual budget of the Company"

Cloud ARR financial

"Cloud ARR: Achievement (including overachievement) of the ARR from cloud-based subscriptions (Cloud ARR) target set in the Annual Budget"

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA Achievement (including overachievement) of the EBITDA target (adjusted to exclude share-based compensation) set in the Annual Budget"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

total shareholder return (TSR) financial

"PSUs and PSOs are tied in part to relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance versus companies in the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index"

Total shareholder return (TSR) measures how much an investment in a company's stock has grown over a specific period by combining the change in the share price and all dividends paid, expressed as a percentage. Think of it like tracking the total balance of a savings jar that increases both from added cash (dividends) and a rising sticker price on the jar (share price); investors use TSR to compare how well different stocks or managers deliver real, money-in-hand returns.

burn rate financial

"The burn rate has been calculated as the quotient of options and RSUs granted divided by weighted average ordinary shares outstanding"

The burn rate is how quickly a company spends its available cash to pay ongoing costs, usually expressed as money used per month. For investors it signals how long the business can keep operating before needing new funding or becoming profitable — like tracking how fast a household is drawing down its savings to cover bills — helping judge short-term risk and urgency for financing or cost cuts.

overhang financial

"“Overhang” was analyzed to measure the potential dilutive effect of all outstanding equity awards and shares available for future grants"

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of all the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES; VOTING PROCESS

General

Shareholders may elect to vote their shares once, either by attending the Annual General Meeting in person, or by appointing a duly executed proxy as detailed below.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are also enclosed. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual General Meeting. However, if the shareholder attends the Annual General Meeting and does not elect to vote in person, his or her proxy will not be revoked. All valid proxies received at least two (2) hours prior to the Annual General Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified by the shareholder. If a proxy card is returned without instructions, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, as described above. If specification is made by the shareholder on the form of proxy, the ordinary shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such specification. On all matters considered at the Annual General Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as neither a vote “for” nor “against” the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present.

Proxies for use at the Annual General Meeting are being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. Proxies will be mailed to shareholders on or about April 24, 2026 and will be solicited chiefly by mail; however, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by electronic mail, telephone, telegram or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to the beneficial owners of shares.

Voting Process

If you are a shareholder of record, there are three ways to vote by proxy:

☐ By Internet — You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions therein or, if you received your proxy materials by mail, by following the instructions on the proxy card. You will need to enter your control number, which is a 16-digit number located in a box on your proxy card that is included with your proxy materials.

☐ By Telephone — You may vote and submit your proxy by calling toll-free 1-800-690-6903 in the United States and providing your control number, which is a 16-digit number located in a box on your proxy card that is included with your proxy materials.

☐ By Mail — If you received your proxy materials by mail or if you requested paper copies of the proxy materials, you can vote by mail by marking, dating, signing and returning the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope.

If your ordinary shares are held in “street name,” meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you will receive instructions from your bank, brokerage firm or nominee, who is the holder of record of your shares. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record, including regarding the latest date and time you may submit your voting instructions, in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and Internet voting may also be offered to shareholders owning shares through certain banks, brokers and nominees, according to their individual policies.

Joint holders of shares should take note that, pursuant to our Articles of Association, (i) a notice may be given by the Company to the joint holders of a share by giving notice to the joint holder named first in the Company's register of shareholders in respect of the shares, or the “senior joint holder”, and (ii) the vote of the senior joint holder who tenders a vote, in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s).

In addition, if you have questions about how to vote your shares, you may also contact our proxy solicitor, DF King, toll-free at 1(800) 967-0271 (from the U.S. or Canada) or at +1 646-480-0971.

RECORD DATE; QUORUM; VOTING RIGHTS; ETC.

Record Date

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 21, 2026, or the record date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. As of April 5, 2026, the Company had issued and outstanding 42,082,490 ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares).

Quorum

Two or more persons, each being a shareholder, a proxy for a shareholder or an authorized representative of a corporate shareholder, holding together ordinary shares that confer in the aggregate 35% of the voting power of the Company, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Annual General Meeting.

If within an hour from the time appointed for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting, if convened upon requisition under the provisions of the Israeli Companies Law, shall be dissolved, but in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman of the Board of Directors may determine with the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the question of adjournment (except as otherwise set forth in the Articles of Association). In general, no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the Meeting as originally called. At such adjourned meeting, any two shareholders, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.

Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals

General. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on this matter is required to approve each of the Proposals 1-3; provided that, with respect to Proposal 2, either (i) the shares voted in favor of the such Proposal include a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not “controlling shareholders” and do not have a "personal interest" in such matter (as such terms are defined in the Companies Law) or (ii) the total number of shares voted against such Proposal by the disinterested shareholders described in clause (i) does not exceed 2% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.

Indication of Personal Interest. The Companies Law generally requires that each shareholder voting on Proposal 2 will indicate whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the proposal. A "personal interest" of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of any members of the shareholder's family or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or voting power or has the right to appoint a director or the chief executive officer and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our ordinary shares.

As of the date hereof, the Company does not have a controlling shareholder within the meaning of the Companies Law. However, Mr. Roy Zisapel, his mother, Nava Zisapel, and Mr. Zisapel’s siblings are deemed to have a personal interest in Proposal 2.

While it is unlikely that any of the Company's public shareholders has a personal interest in Proposal 2, to avoid confusion, the enclosed form of proxy card includes a certification that you ARE NOT a controlling shareholder and DO NOT have a personal interest in such Proposal. Every Radware shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, or via a voting instruction form, internet voting or telephone, will be deemed to confirm to Radware that such Radware shareholder IS NOT a controlling shareholder and DOES NOT have a personal interest in such Proposal. If, however, you are unable to make the aforesaid confirmations for any reason (or have questions about whether you have a personal interest), please contact the Company's General Counsel at telephone number: +972-72-391-7045; fax number: +972-3-766-8982 or email gadime@radware.com. If you hold your shares in "street name" and you are unable to make the aforesaid confirmations for any reason, you should notify the representative managing your account, and such representative should then contact the above person on your behalf to notify Radware as described in the preceding sentence.

Shareholder Proposals

Pursuant to Section 66(b) of the Companies Law, shareholders who hold at least (i) 5% of the voting rights in Radware may request our Board of Directors to add an item that relates to the election or removal of a director to the agenda of a shareholders’ meeting to be convened in the future and (ii) 1% of the voting rights in Radware may request our Board of Directors to add an item to the agenda of a shareholders’ meeting to be convened in the future that relates to other matters. Such eligible shareholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in, and for consideration at, the Meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to our General Counsel at the following address: Radware Ltd., 22 Raoul Wallenberg Street, Tel Aviv 69710, Israel, Attention: General Counsel.

For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Meeting, (1) our General Counsel must receive the written proposal no later than 7 days following the notice of the Meeting, i.e., by April 27, 2026, and (2) the written shareholder proposal must be in English and set forth various information required under our Articles of Association about, among other things, the proposing shareholder and the shareholder proposal as well as any other information reasonably requested by the Company. The Company shall be entitled to publish information provided by a proposing shareholder, and the proposing shareholder shall be responsible for the accuracy thereof. In addition, shareholder proposals must otherwise comply with applicable law and our Articles of Association. Radware may disregard shareholder proposals that are not timely and validly submitted.

If our Board of Directors will determine that a shareholder proposal is appropriate to be added to the agenda of the Meeting, we will publish a revised agenda for the Meeting no later than 7 days following the last date to submit a shareholder proposal by way of issuing a press release and/or submitting a Current Report on Form 6-K to the SEC.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Proposal 1 on the Proxy Card)

Background

Pursuant to our Articles of Association, our Board of Directors consists of up to nine (9) members and is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each such director, when and however elected, is designated as a member of a certain class of directors and, subject to certain exceptions, serves for a term ending on the date of the third annual general meeting following the annual general meeting at which such director was elected. Accordingly, each director in Class III will serve (if elected) for a term ending on the date of the annual general meeting for the year 2029; each director in Class II will serve for a term ending on the date of the annual general meeting for the year 2028; and each director in Class I will serve for a term ending on the date of the annual general meeting for the year 2027.

The term of service of Messrs. Stanley B. Stern, Israel Mazin and Alex Pinchev, who are currently directors in Class III, expires on the date of the Meeting. We are proposing to re-elect these nominees at the Meeting, such that their term will expire at the annual general meeting for the year 2029.

All these nominees were approved and recommended to our Board of Directors by the Company’s Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with the Nasdaq rules. In addition, all these nominees qualify as “independent directors” under the Nasdaq rules.

We currently have a Board of eight (8) directors (of which seven directors qualify as “independent directors” under the Nasdaq rules). Subject to the election of these nominees (in this Proposal 1), we expect to have, following the Meeting, a Board of eight (8) directors (of which seven directors will qualify as “independent directors” under the Nasdaq rules), as follows:

Class	Term expiring at the annual meeting for the year	Directors

Class I	2027	Yuval Cohen and Yair Tauman
Class II	2028	Roy Zisapel, Naama Zeldis and Meir Moshe
Class III	2029	Stanley B. Stern, Israel Mazin and Alex Pinchev

It is intended that proxies (other than those directing the proxy holders to vote against the listed nominee or to abstain) will be voted for the election of our proposed nominees. In the event either of such nominees is unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person or persons as determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their best judgment. We are not aware of any reason why either of the nominees, if elected, would be unable to serve as director. We also do not have any understanding or agreement regarding the future election of the above nominees.

The following biographical information is supplied with respect to the persons nominated and recommended to be elected by the Board of Directors of the Company and is based upon the records of the Company as well as information furnished to the Company by the nominee.

Executive Compensation

You should read the below summary together with Items 6.B “Compensation” and 6.E “Share Ownership— Share Option Plans” of our 2025 Annual Report.

General

Our objective is to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel who will assist Radware to reach its business objectives, performance and the creation of shareholder value and otherwise contribute to our long-term success. Our compensation policy for our executive officers and directors, or the Compensation Policy, which is approved by our shareholders, is designed to correlate executive compensation with our objectives and goals.

The following table sets forth all salaries, fees, commissions and bonuses and pension retirement and other similar benefits we paid or accrued with respect to all of our directors and officers as a group for the 2025 fiscal year. The table does not include any amounts we paid to reimburse any of our affiliates for costs incurred in providing us with services during such period.

	Salaries, fees, commissions and bonuses		Pension, retirement and other similar benefits
	(US$ In Thousands)
2024 – All directors and officers as a group, consisting of 14 persons*	$	3,068	$	488
2025 – All directors and officers as a group, consisting of 15 persons**	$	4,367	$	596

* Includes one person who served as our director in 2024 and is no longer serving on our Board of Directors.

** Includes two persons who served as executive officers for the compensation payable to them until March 2025 and December 2025, respectively, and one person who served as an executive officer for the compensation payable to her from March 2025.

During 2025, we granted to our directors and officers listed in Item 6.A of our 2025 Annual Report, in the aggregate, 59,900 RSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value per RSU of $26.15 and options to purchase 120,000 ordinary shares at a weighted average exercise price per share of $23.58. The options expire 62 months after grant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $7.83 per option.

For a discussion of the accounting method and assumptions used in valuation of such share-based compensation, see Note 2(t) to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. See also Item 6.E —"Share Ownership” of our 2025 Annual Report.

Compensation of Executive Officers

For a discussion of the compensation granted to our five most highly compensated executive officers during 2025, see “Compensation of Executive Officers” in Item 6.B of our 2025 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Compensation of Directors

Our non-employee directors are entitled to the following compensation: (i) annual compensation in the amount of NIS 120,800 per year of service; (ii) per meeting remuneration of NIS 3,600 for each Board or committee meeting attended, provided that the director is a member of such committee; (iii) compensation for telephonic participation in board and committee meetings (where other members physically attend) in an amount of 60% of what is received for physical participation; and (iv) compensation for board and committee meetings held via electronic means without physical participation in an amount of 50% of what is received for physical meetings. The aforesaid amounts are subject to adjustment for changes in the Israeli consumer price index (\"Israeli CPI\") after December 2007 and changes in the amounts payable pursuant to Israeli law from time to time (collectively, the \"Linkage Adjustments\"). Giving effect to such Linkage Adjustments, our non-employee directors are currently entitled to (i) annual compensation in the amount of NIS 159,000 (equivalent to approximately $50,640 based on the Exchange Rate) and (ii) per meeting remuneration of NIS 4,700 for each Board or committee meeting attended (equivalent to approximately $1,500 based on the Exchange Rate).

In addition, our non-employee directors are entitled to a grant of options under our share option plans to purchase 20,000 ordinary shares for each year in which such non-employee director holds office. The options are granted for three years in advance, and therefore every director receives an initial grant of options to purchase 60,000 ordinary shares that vest over a period of three years, with a third (20,000) to vest upon each anniversary of service, provided that the director still serves on the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of vesting. The grant is made on the date of the director’s election (or the date of commencement of office, if different), and thereafter, every three years, if reelected, an additional grant of options to purchase an additional 60,000 ordinary shares will be made on the date of each annual meeting in which such director is reelected. The exercise price of all options shall be equal to the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of the grant (i.e., an exercise price equal to the market price of our ordinary shares on the date of the annual meeting approving the election or reelection of a director or the date of commencement of office, if different).

Indemnification and Insurance

Consistent with our Compensation Policy, we currently hold directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers. In addition, we provide our directors and officers indemnification pursuant to the terms of a Letter of Indemnification, substantially in the form approved by our shareholders, which is publicly available as Exhibit 4.1 to our 2025 Annual Report.

PROPOSAL 2

EQUITY-BASED AWARDS TO, AND STRUCTURE OF ANNUAL BONUS OF, THE CEO

(Proposal 2 on the Proxy Card)

Background

General

Under the Companies Law, the terms of compensation, including equity-based grants and annual bonus, of a chief executive officer or a director of a company incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares are listed for trade on a stock exchange or have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel, such as Radware, require the approval of the compensation committee, the board of directors and, subject to certain exceptions, the shareholders.

Mr. Roy Zisapel, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is a co-founder of our company, and has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer and a director since we commenced operations in April 1997. Below is a short overview that describes the proposed grants of equity-based awards to, and modifications in the structure of the annual bonus of, Mr. Zisapel, and explains the rationale of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors therefor.

Our Company

Radware is a provider of application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments. Our solutions secure the digital experience by providing infrastructure, application, and network protection and availability services to companies globally. Our solutions are deployed by, among others, enterprises, carriers, and cloud service providers.

While we maintain international headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel, we are a global company that competes for business and executive talent on a global basis. In fact, the largest portion of our revenue in 2025 was derived from the Americas (41%) and most of our workforce (55%) is located outside of Israel. For these reasons, our executive pay programs are designed to compete in a global labor market and are not confined to Israeli pay practices.

Highlights for our most recently completed fiscal year ending December 31, 2025:

•

Revenue of $301.9 million, up 10% year-over-year

•

Cloud ARR (cloud annual recurring revenue) of $95.2 million, up 23% year-over-year

•

Subscription revenue CAGR for the last six years was 19%

•

Non-GAAP operating income increased year-over-year by 48% to $39.6 million

•

Positive cash flow from operations of $50.1 million

Highlights of the Proposed CEO Compensation

As more fully described below, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors adopted a new equity-based compensation program and certain modifications to the structure of the annual bonus for the CEO, with the aim of supporting our business strategy and compensation philosophy. Highlights of the proposed compensation include:

➢

Base Salary: No changes.

➢

Annual Bonus: No changes to the size of the annual bonus program, while adopting technical changes to the structure of the annual bonus (primarily by adding another separate performance metric of cloud ARR).

➢

Equity-Based Grants: In July 2022, our shareholders approved to grant Mr. Zisapel time-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs ("PSUs") and performance-based share options ("PSOs") for 2022-2024 (the "2022 Program"). Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors adopted a similar plan for 2026-2028, with several material changes, including:

The total grant value for each of the years will be $6.0 million (compared with $7.725 million, $5.0 million and $5.0 million in the 2022 Program for 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively); and

The RSUs component in the 2022 Program which was solely time-based, will be transformed into price-performance RSUs (which we refer to below as PSUs2).

Current CEO Compensation – Summary

The table below outlines the compensation awarded to Mr. Zisapel during, or with respect to, each of the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. For purposes of the table, “compensation” includes base salary, bonuses, equity-based compensation, retirement or termination payments, benefits and perquisites such as car, phone and social benefits, and any undertaking to provide such compensation. All amounts reported in the table are in terms of cost to the Company, as recognized in our financial statements for the relevant fiscal year. You should read the table below together with the section "Compensation of Executive Officers" under Item 6.B of each of our 2025 Annual Report, 2024 Annual Report and 2023 Annual Report.

Year	Salary	Bonus	Equity-Based Compensation	All Other Compensation	Total

The Proposed Modification to the Structure of the Annual Bonus

The current annual bonus program is dependent upon achievement (determined by the Compensation Committee, subject to approval of the Board of Directors) of certain milestones and criteria (“Metrics Targets") We propose to modify these Metrics Targets, as follows:

The Metrics Target	Current Bonus Program	Proposed Bonus Program
Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR): Achievement (including overachievement) of the ARR target set in the annual budget of the Company approved by the Board of Directors for the applicable year (the "Annual Budget")	Up to 25% of the annual bonus	10% - 20% of the annual bonus
Cloud ARR: Achievement (including overachievement) of the ARR from cloud-based subscriptions (Cloud ARR) target set in the Annual Budget	N/A	25% - 40% of the annual bonus
Bookings: Achievement (including overachievement) of the "bookings" target set in the Annual Budget (bookings is generally defined in our budget to mean funds that are expected to be received from customers based on contracts or firm accepted orders for services and/or products recorded in our ERP system)	Up to 40% of the annual bonus	20% - 40% of the annual bonus
Adjusted EBITDA: Achievement (including overachievement) of the EBITDA target (adjusted to exclude share-based compensation) set in the Annual Budget	Up to 25% of the annual bonus	15% - 40% of the annual bonus
Overall Performance: Achievement and performance of individual key non-financial performance indicators (KPIs) set by our Compensation Committee	Up to 10% of the annual bonus	Up to 10% of the annual bonus

In approving the proposed modified structure of the annual bonus described above, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors noted that the addition of Cloud ARR as a separate performance metric (in addition to the existing ARR metric) reflects our strategic transformation toward cloud-based subscription services, which we believe represents one of the critical drivers for long-term sustainable revenue growth and shareholder value creation. By separately measuring and incentivizing Cloud ARR performance, the Compensation Committee aims to align the CEO's compensation more directly with the Company's ongoing shift to a cloud-first business model. The combined increased weighting of ARR and Cloud ARR metrics (ranging from 35% (minimum) to 60% (maximum) of the annual bonus in the proposed program, compared to 25% in the current program) emphasizes the Compensation Committee's determination to prioritize predictable, recurring revenue streams that enhance the Company's valuation multiple and competitive positioning in the cybersecurity market. This rebalancing of metrics was also designed to ensure that the CEO's compensation is closely tied to the execution of the Company's core strategic priorities and the achievement of sustainable growth objectives that benefit shareholders over the long term. For additional reasons and considerations for the proposed modifications, see under "Proposed CEO Compensation – Reasons" below.

For the sake of clarity, (i) said changes will apply starting with the potential annual bonus for 2026, (ii) the size and other terms of the annual bonus program (including pay-out levels) will not change, and (iii) while the Compensation Committee currently intends to follow the same annual bonus criteria and Metrics Targets in subsequent years, it will re-assess and may adjust the bonus criteria and Metrics Targets (including the percentages assigned to each) based on future circumstances; provided that, in no event, will the total percentage of all of the Metrics Targets exceed 100%.

The Proposed CEO Equity-Based Compensation

The 2022 Program has expired and our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors propose to grant Mr. Zisapel performance-based RSUs (the “PSUs1”), price-limit RSUs (the “PSUs2”) (“PSUs1” and “PSUs2” collectively “PSUs”), and performance-based share options (“PSOs”), with a total grant value (“Total Grant Value”) of $6.0 million for each of 2026 (the “2026 Grants”), 2027 (the “2027 Grants”) and 2028 (the “2028 Grants”). Below is a summary of the key terms of these proposed equity-based grants.

•	Grant Date: The date of the 2026 AGM.

•	Allocation and Number: The allocation and actual number of PSUs1, PSUs2 and PSOs to be granted on the Grant Date will be as follows:

The PSUs1 will represent 55% of the Total Grant Value for each of the 2026, 2027 and 2028 Grants, with the actual number of PSUs1 granted for each year (for computation of the on-target number of PSUs1) to be determined as of the date of the 2026 AGM based on a valuation methodology generally used for such awards (e.g., Monte Carlo method);

The PSUs2 will represent 30% of the Total Grant Value for each of the 2026, 2027 and 2028 Grants, with the actual number of PSUs2 granted for each year to be determined by dividing the said portion of the Total Grant Value (i.e., $1.8 million) by the average closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq during 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of the 2026 AGM; and

The PSOs will represent 15% of the Total Grant Value for each of the 2026, 2027 and 2028 Grants, with the actual number of PSOs granted for each year to be determined based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq on the date of the 2026 AGM (using a Monte Carlo valuation method).

•	PSUs1 - Vesting (including Eligibility/Performance Criteria):¹

The vesting of the PSUs1 will be dependent upon the performance of our relative TSR, as measured by our Company’s share price, relative to the performance of the companies in the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index (as such index may change from time to time), of which Radware is a member².

Companies in the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index

A10 Networks	Cloudflare	Intl Business Machines (IBM)	Science Applications

Source: Nasdaq Index constituents as of April 5, 2026.

The determination would be made such that the PSUs1 would either partially or fully vest (if the performance condition is met at or above the threshold level set in the table below titled Performance Payout Level, and up to 150% of the number of PSUs1 if the performance condition exceeds the target) or would expire (if the performance condition is not met) at the end of a three-year performance period (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 with respect to the PSUs1 of the 2026 Grants; January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027 with respect to the PSUs1 of the 2027 Grants; and January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 with respect to the PSUs1 of the 2028 Grants).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if eligible for vesting pursuant to said performance condition, there will be a minimum period of at least one year between the Grant Date and the earliest possible vesting date of the PSUs1.

¹ Unless otherwise noted, references to fiscal year end as it pertains to the performance period or vesting date will generally fall on or around December 25th to allow for administrative processing during normal business hours.

² The measurement will be made only with respect to those companies in the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index (for the sake of clarity, other than Radware) that were part of such index at both the start and end of the relevant measurement period.

Performance Payout Level

Radware TSR Percentile Rank	Payout (% of Target)*
< 30th Percentile	0%
30th Percentile	50% (Threshold)
55th Percentile	100% (Target) **
75th Percentile	150% (Maximum)
> 75th Percentile	150%

* Subject to linear interpolation.

** Payout will not exceed 100% of target if our Company’s absolute TSR performance is negative during the measured performance period, irrespective of our Company’s percentile ranking.

By way of example of the foregoing, if based on the valuation methodology used for computation of the PSUs1 awards for the 2026 Grant (i.e., the $3.3 million will be determined based on valuation determined as of the date of the 2026 AGM), such grant will translate to 125,000 PSUs1, then if the TSR measured with respect to the 2026 Grants during the measurement period through December 31, 2026 is (i) at the 30^th percentile, then only 62,500 PSUs1 (i.e., 50% for threshold) will become fully earned and vested on the first anniversary of the Meeting, (ii) at the 55^th percentile, then all of the 125,000 PSUs1 (i.e., 100% on target) will become fully earned and vested on the first anniversary of the Meeting, or (iii) at or above the 75^th percentile, then 187,500 PSUs1 (i.e., 150% of the 125,000 PSUs1) will become fully earned and vested on the first anniversary of the Meeting.

•	PSUs2 - Vesting (including Eligibility/Performance Criteria):

The PSUs2 will vest in three equal parts (i) if the average closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq during 30 consecutive trading days at any time during the Measurement Period (the "Measurement Date PPS") is 10% or more compared to the average closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq during 30 consecutive trading days prior to the Meeting (the "Base PPS"), one third (33.3%) of the PSUs2 will vest at that time (but not earlier than the first anniversary of the Grant Date); (ii) if the Measurement Date PPS is 20% or more compared to the Base PPS, one third (33.3%) of the PSUs2 will vest at that time (but not earlier than January 1, 2028); and (iii) if the Measurement Date PPS is 30% or more compared to the Base PPS, the balance of one third (33.3%) of the PSUs2 will vest at that time (but not earlier than January 1, 2029). The "Measurement Period" is the period between the date of the 2026 AGM and December 31, 2028.

For the PSUs2, there is a minimum period of more than one year between the date of the Meeting and the earliest possible vesting date. The earliest vesting date for the 2026 Grants is May 31, 2027.

•	PSOs - Exercise Price and Vesting (including Eligibility/Performance Criteria):

All of the PSOs will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq on the date of the 2026 AGM.

The PSOs will vest in three equal parts (i) if the Measurement Date PPS is 10% or more compared to the Base PPS, one third (33.3%) of the PSOs will vest at that time (but not earlier than the first anniversary of the Grant Date); (ii) if the Measurement Date PPS is 20% or more compared to the Base PPS, one third (33.3%) of the PSOs will vest at that time (but not earlier than January 1, 2028); and (iii) if the Measurement Date PPS is 30% or more compared to the Base PPS, the balance of one third (33.3%) of the PSOs will vest at that time (but not earlier than January 1, 2029).

For the PSOs, there is a minimum period of more than one year between the date of the Meeting and the earliest possible vesting date. The earliest vesting date for the 2026 Grants is May 31, 2027.

•	Other Key Terms and Governance:

Exercise Period: 62 months following the applicable Grant Date

“Double-trigger” Vesting: Vesting of all (100% on-target) of the then-unvested PSUs1, 50% of the then unvested PSUs2, and 50% of the then unvested PSOs would accelerate upon a Change of Control of the Company or similar Transaction (such terms to be defined in Mr. Zisapel’s grant agreement) that is followed by termination of Mr. Zisapel’s employment within 12 months thereof, either (i) by the Company, other than for Cause (such term to be defined in Mr. Zisapel’s grant agreement), or (ii) by Mr. Zisapel, for Good Reason (such term to be defined in Mr. Zisapel’s grant agreement). However, (i) with respect to PSUs1, the actual pay-out level will be based on the extent to which our Company’s share price meets the various performance levels (threshold level through maximum level) relative to the companies in the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index from the Grant Date of the relevant PSUs1 until the date of the Change of Control or similar Transaction, and (ii) it is clarified that the aforesaid acceleration will be made only with respect to grants for the year(s) that preceded (or are at the same year) at which the Change of Control or similar Transaction occurred (e.g., if the Change of Control occurs during 2027, only the 2026 and 2027 Grants will accelerate as aforesaid).

“Clawback” Conditions: The proposed equity-based compensation terms for Mr. Zisapel would be subject to a potential repayment obligation to our Company or cancellation (as applicable), under certain circumstances, as described in our Compensation Policy and Compensation Recovery Policy.

Hedging/Pledging Restrictions: Consistent with our Insider Trading Policy, and to ensure that the equity portion of Mr. Zisapel’s compensation package serves solely to motivate him to create value for our shareholders, he will be prohibited from creating “short” positions or engaging in other hedging activity with respect to our ordinary shares. For a similar reason, Mr. Zisapel will generally be prohibited from pledging the equity to be granted to him pursuant to this Proposal 2 as collateral for a loan that may be received by him.

Discretion: While the Compensation Committee currently intends to follow the PSUs design in subsequent years, it will re-assess and may adjust the reference index and payout curve based on future circumstances (subject to any required corporate approvals under Israeli law). Any such re-assessment or adjustment by the Compensation Committee shall be made only under the following limited circumstances: (i) material changes in applicable accounting standards or regulatory requirements that affect the measurement or reporting of TSR or share price performance; (ii) significant changes in the composition of the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index, including if the index is discontinued or fundamentally reconstituted such that it no longer provides a meaningful peer comparison; (iii) extraordinary corporate events such as mergers, spin-offs, or significant acquisitions that materially affect comparability of performance metrics; or (iv) other material changes in the Company's business model or competitive landscape that render the existing metrics demonstrably inadequate for aligning executive compensation with shareholder value creation. Any adjustments made under these circumstances must be approved by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors (with disinterested directors voting). If applicable, the Compensation Committee will document the specific rationale for any such adjustment and disclose it in the Company's proxy materials for the next annual general meeting.

Other Terms: All other terms and conditions in connection with the above (i) equity-based grants - shall be as set forth in the Company’s Key Employee Stock Option Plan 1997, as amended (or any other successor plan adopted by the Company prior to the applicable Grant Date) and the award agreements approved by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, and (ii) annual bonus - shall be as set forth in the bonus plan approved by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors for other senior employees, including, in each case, entitlement in the case of cessation of service, disability and death.

Proposed CEO Compensation – Reasons

Our future success depends in large part on the continued services of our senior management and key personnel. In particular, we are highly dependent on the services of Mr. Roy Zisapel. In approving the proposed equity-based compensation and modified structure of the annual bonus described above, our Compensation Committee (consisting of Mr. Moshe (Chairperson), Prof. Tauman and Ms. Zeldis, all of whom are independent directors and who do not have any “personal interest” in the decision) and Board of Directors (by a unanimous decision of Mr. Cohen, Prof. Tauman, Ms. Zeldis, Mr. Moshe, Mr. Stern, Mr. Mazin and Mr. Pinchev, all of whom are independent directors and who do not have any “personal interest” in the decision) considered various factors, including the following:

✔

The Importance of Mr. Zisapel’s Services to the Company. This element is demonstrated by Mr. Zisapel playing a key role in most aspects of our operations, starting from formulating our strategic vision, driving our on-going shift into our cloud-based and subscription offering model and leading our M&A activities.

✔

Retention Risks. The market for CEO talent is competitive. Mr. Zisapel has decades of leadership experience, as well as in depth knowledge of our business, our history and the security industry. Furthermore, as a global company, our executive pay programs are designed to compete in a global labor market.

✔	The Contribution of Mr. Zisapel to Our Business and Success. To illustrate Mr. Zisapel's contribution to our success, the below diagrams indicate our Company’s growth in the past several years and the shareholder value created in that period:

*As of April 5, 2026.

✔	The CEO has no pending equity-based plan. Mr. Zisapel has not received any new equity-based plan since July 2022 (at which time our shareholders approved the 2022 Program). Thus, no equity-based allocation was granted to the CEO in respect of 2025 or 2026 thus far.

✔	The Effective Freeze on Mr. Zisapel's Compensation. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered the fact that Mr. Zisapel's salary and annual bonus amount have not been modified since July 2022.

✔	The Compensation Levels of other Senior Managers in our Industry.

In evaluating Mr. Zisapel's compensation, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors reviewed, with the assistance of one of the Big Four global accounting firms’ Valuation and Business consulting departments (Benchmarking Firm), benchmark information relating to the compensation of chief executive officers of other comparable companies.

As part of the peer group selection process, our Compensation Committee evaluated, with the assistance of the Benchmarking Firm, several criteria, including global companies from a variety of technology industries, listed in the chart below. The Benchmarking firm analysis, as advised to our Compensation Committee, concluded that the approach and scope of the proposed compensation with respect to Mr. Zisapel, is within industry norms.

Avepoint	Fastly	Teradata Corp

✔

Performance-Based and Retention Incentives. The proposed CEO equity-based compensation, together with his other existing compensation terms, provides strong alignment between executive pay and shareholder interests and incorporates governance best practices. The proposed equity-based grants together with the existing annual bonus program contain inherent incentives to reward for performance and the structure of the equity-based grants also includes important retention incentives. In particular, if Proposal 2 is approved, the entire cash bonus and equity compensation received by Mr. Zisapel is not guaranteed and is rather tied to his continued employment as well as our share price (through the proposed equity-based grants) and operating results (through the annual cash bonus), assuring a strong correlation between pay and performance. In this respect, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered, among other things, that:

The milestones and criteria of the annual bonus are tied to thresholds and targets set in the Company’s annual budget and roadmap, which, based on past experience, are not easily achieved. For example, in 2023, 2024 and 2025, Mr. Zisapel received 0%, 77% and 133.87% of the on-target annual bonus for that year, respectively.

Similarly, vesting of (i) the PSUs1 is tied to the performance of our TSR relative to the performance of the companies in the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index and (ii) PSUs2 and PSOs are tied to the performance of our share price, which, based on past experience, is not easily achieved.

While the measurement period of the proposed PSUs1 is three years, the actual remaining measurement period for the grants is shorter (i.e., if counted from the date of the 2026 AGM, the remaining period for the 2026 Grants of PSUs1 will be approximately seven months, 19 months for the 2027 Grants of PSUs1 and 31 months for the 2028 Grants of PSUs1). This is primarily because the previous plan, the 2022 Program, expired and no equity-based awards were granted since.

While the vesting and eligibility criteria of the proposed equity-based grants is tied to the TSR and/or share price over said measurement period, the on-target number of PSUs1 as well as the number of PSUs2 and PSOs will be calculated based on the share price as of the 2026 AGM date (in the case of the PSUs2 and PSOs, the average share price during 30 consecutive trading days prior to such date).

✔	Use of Shares & Dilution.

Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors manage our equity incentive plans to monitor, among other things, long-term shareholder dilution, burn rate and equity-based compensation expense, while maintaining our ability to attract, reward and retain key talent in a hypercompetitive market. Below is a summary analysis of certain burn rate and dilution metrics considered by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors:

Burn Rate

The following table sets forth information regarding award grants, the burn rate for each of the last three years, and the average burn rate over the last three years. The burn rate has been calculated as the quotient of (i) the sum of all options and RSUs granted in such year, divided by (ii) the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of such year.

	Year Ended December 31,				3-Year Average
	2025	2024	2023
Options and RSUs granted and available to be granted	1,197,315	1,817,036	1,722,617
Weighted average shares outstanding	42,879,056	41,982,851	42,871,770
Burn rate	2.8%	4.3%	4.0%	3.7%

Overhang

“Overhang” was analyzed to measure the potential dilutive effect of all outstanding equity awards and shares available for future grants.

	As of December 31,
	2025	2024	2023
Issued Overhang*	8.5%	10.1%	10.7%
Total Overhang**	8.8%	14.4%	13.5%

* “Issued Overhang” was computed as (A) the total number of equity awards outstanding, excluding PSUs that have not been granted or earned as of such dates, divided by (B) total ordinary shares outstanding plus the figure in clause A.

** “Total Overhang” was computed as (A) the total number of equity awards outstanding plus shares available to be granted under the Company’s equity-incentive plans, divided by (B) total ordinary shares outstanding plus the figure in clause A.

Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered the voting guidelines of U.S. proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”). In particular, according to ISS’ Israel Proxy Voting Guidelines, ISS (i) supports a general guideline for Israeli companies to maintain dilution level of below 10% and (ii) may support a proposal if the three-year average burn rate is equal to or below 1% and the total potential dilution from outstanding and proposed plans does not exceed 15%. To that end, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors noted that:

We met the aforesaid requirement of less than 10% dilution level for the year ended December 31, 2025 after several years in which our overhang was higher.

Per the ISS’ U.S. Proxy Voting Guidelines (including FAQ regarding Equity Compensation Plans), which is applicable to some of the U.S. domestic peers of Radware, the targeted three-year average burn rate benchmark for companies in GICS 4510 (Software & Services) was (i) 6.40% for Russell 3000 companies and (ii) 9.06% for Non-Russell 3000, significantly higher than the average burn rate of Radware presented above.

✔

Effective Dilution Management. Under the supervision of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, we strive to exercise a disciplined approach to manage the long-term dilutive effects of our equity incentive grants. We remain committed to responsible management of the Company’s dilution posture and continue to take significant measures to reduce dilution, while balancing our need to hire and retain talented employees and executives, who are the drivers of the Company’s success. Such measures include the application of a net exercise mechanism for outstanding options, regular cancellations of unallocated equity, and our prior decision to transition from grants of options to mostly RSUs.

✔

Our Compensation Policy. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered our Compensation Policy and other elements of compensation payable to Mr. Zisapel, including other factors set forth in the Companies Law. In reaching their decision, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors believed that the proposed compensation package to our CEO, taken as a whole, creates the optimal balance between various elements, including the retention needs of our Company and introducing performance-based metrics designed to incentivize for creating shareholder value in the long-term. In particular, the combination of the proposed grant of PSU and performance-based share options balances absolute and relative TSR performance, which aligns with our compensation philosophy and is in direct response to feedback from some of our shareholders and their advisors.

✔

Disinterested Vote. Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered that the proposed compensation described above is the result of a careful deliberation process, was approved solely by disinterested directors and, as required by Israeli law, will be subject to approval by a special majority of disinterested shareholders (see under “Required Vote” below).

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors is intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive, but includes the material reasons and factors considered by them in reaching their conclusions and recommendation in relation to Proposal 2. In view of the wide variety of reasons and factors considered and the complexity of these matters, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors did not find it practical to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specified factors considered in reaching their determinations or the reasons for such determinations. Individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors or may have had different reasons for their ultimate determination.

It is hereby clarified that (i) if this Proposal 2 is not approved, the existing employment terms (including annual bonus) of Mr. Zisapel will continue according to their current terms, and (2) in case of any inconsistency between the Compensation Policy and the proposed compensation in this Proposal 2, this Proposal 2 will prevail (if approved).

The Proposed Resolution

We propose that at the Annual General Meeting the following resolution be adopted:

“RESOLVED, that the proposed grant of equity-based awards to, and modifications in the structure of the annual bonus of, Mr. Roy Zisapel, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as described in Proposal 2 of the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual General Meeting be, and the same hereby, is approved.”

√ The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the proposed resolution.

PROPOSAL 3

RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

(Proposal 3 on the Proxy Card)

Background

At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve the Audit Committee’s recommendation to re-appoint Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of the Ernst & Young international accounting firm, or E&Y, and independent certified public accountants in Israel, as our auditors until immediately following the next annual general meeting of shareholders. They have no relationship with the Company or with any affiliate of the Company except, to a limited extent, as tax consultants. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that such limited non-audit function does not affect the independence of E&Y.

The shareholders will also be asked to authorize our Board of Directors to delegate to our Audit Committee the authority to fix the fees paid to our independent auditors, as contemplated by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act. With respect to fiscal year 2025, we paid E&Y approximately $492,000 for audit fees, $8,000 for audit related fees, $88,000 for tax services and $62,000 for all other fees.

The Proposed Resolutions

It is proposed that at the Annual General Meeting the following resolutions be adopted:

“RESOLVED, that Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of the Ernst & Young international accounting firm, be, and they hereby are, re-appointed as auditors of the Company until immediately following the next annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Company be authorized to delegate to the Audit Committee the authority to fix the remuneration of said auditors in accordance with the volume and nature of their services.”

Required Vote

See under "Record Date; Quorum; Voting Rights; Etc. – Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals" above.

√ The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the proposed resolutions.
