Key financial and compensation matters

Total disclosed cash bonuses were $8.204 million. Bonuses for Messrs. Kinberg and Aizenberg will be paid in Israeli new shekels; the filing uses an exchange rate of NIS 3.20 per U.S. dollar for disclosure purposes.
The PSUs are eligible to vest in four annual performance periods covering calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Up to 25% of each award may vest for each period based on annual revenue growth.
Performance conditions and material changes
| Annual revenue growth | Achievement percentage |
|---|---|
| Less than 6% | 0% |
| 6% | 50% |
| 7.5% | 75% |
| 9% or more | 100% |
Achievement between stated levels is determined by linear interpolation. For Messrs. Antokol, Kinberg and Aizenberg, at least 25 PSUs will vest during each performance period regardless of the calculated outcome, subject to the award terms.
Relative to the prior comparable period, the filing does not provide prior-period financial results or identify changes in revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt or liquidity. The material reported change is the approval of the 2021 bonuses and the new performance-based equity awards.
Outlook, contingencies and unusual items
- PSU vesting depends on annual revenue growth during 2022–2025 and continued service, subject to specified termination provisions.
- Following a qualifying termination before a change in control, the executive generally remains eligible for prorated vesting for the performance period in which termination occurs, based on actual performance.
- Upon a change in control, all outstanding PSUs become eligible to vest based on time in substantially equal installments through December 31, 2025, subject to continued service.
- After a change in control, a qualifying termination on or before December 31, 2025 accelerates vesting of outstanding unvested PSUs.
- The filing contains no company financial guidance, liquidity forecast, debt update, operating outlook or identified litigation contingency.
Facts investors should verify

- Monitor annual revenue growth and resulting PSU achievement percentages for 2022–2025.
- Review subsequent filings for changes in executive employment status, change-in-control events or accelerated vesting.
- The filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt or liquidity.
