Shareholders of record are requested to complete, date and sign the enclosed form of proxy and to return it no later than September 30, 2025, at 6:59 a.m.
Israel time (i.e., 11:59 p.m. ET the day before the General Meeting), in the pre-addressed envelope provided. Alternatively, such shareholders may vote electronically before such time at www.proxyvote.com
using the control number provided with your proxy materials.
|
| − |
If your Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, which in turn holds the shares through Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, such Ordinary
Shares are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to such Ordinary Shares (“Beneficial Owners”). A Beneficial Owner as of the Record Date has the right
to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Beneficial Owner at the General Meeting. If your Ordinary Shares were held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are
being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee (who is considered, with respect to such Ordinary Shares, as the shareholder of record), together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or
nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares.
|
| − |
Shareholders registered in the Company’s shareholders register in Israel (“Registered Shareholders”) and shareholders who hold Ordinary Shares
through members of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE” and “TASE Member”, respectively) that are included among the
Ordinary Shares registered in the Company’s shareholders register in Israel under the name of a nominee company in Israel (“Non-registered Shareholders”) should deliver or mail (via registered mail)
a completed written ballot (in the form filed by the Company via MAGNA, the online platform of the Israel Securities Authority (“TASE Ballot”)) to the Company’s offices, c/o Ms. Lisa Haimovitz, 13
Amal St., Afek Industrial Park, Rosh Ha’ayin 4809249, Israel no later than September 30, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. Israel time (i.e., at least four (4) hours
before the General Meeting starts). By this time, both Registered Shareholders and Non-registered shareholders must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certificate of incorporation (“Identifying Information”). A TASE Ballot submitted by a Registered Shareholder without Identifying Information attached to it will not be valid. Non-registered Shareholders must also provide the Company
with an ownership certificate confirming their ownership of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Record Date, which certificate must be approved by a recognized financial institution (“Ownership
Certificate”), as required by the Israel Companies Law 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) and Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting),
5760-2000, as amended. A TASE Ballot submitted by a Non-registered Shareholder without an Ownership Certificate attached to it will not be valid. A Non-registered Shareholder is entitled to receive the Ownership Certificate at the branch
of the TASE Member through which such shareholder holds his Ordinary Shares, or request from such TASE Member to deliver it by mail. Such a request must be provided in advance, and with respect to a specific securities account. A
Non-registered Shareholder may direct the relevant TASE Member to transfer the Ownership Certificate to the Company through the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority (the “Electronic
Voting System”). Alternatively, Non-registered Shareholders may vote electronically via the Electronic Voting System, no later than September 30, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Israel time (i.e., at least six (6) hours before the General Meeting starts). A Non-registered Shareholder
should receive instructions about electronic voting from the TASE Member through which such Non-registered Shareholder holds his Ordinary Shares.
|
| − |
Shareholders of record who intend to vote their Ordinary Shares in person are requested to bring proof of identity to the General Meeting.
|
| − |
Because a Beneficial Owner with shares held in “street name” is not a shareholder of record, such shareholders may not vote those Ordinary Shares directly at the General Meeting unless
they obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds the Ordinary Shares directly, giving them the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the General Meeting. Brokers that hold ordinary shares in “street name” for
clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. None of the items on the General Meeting agenda may be considered routine. Therefore, it is important
for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee to instruct its bank, broker or other nominee how to vote its Ordinary Shares, if the shareholder wants its Ordinary Shares to count for all proposals.
|
| − |
Both Registered Shareholders and Non-registered Shareholders who intend to vote their Ordinary Shares in person must provide the Company with Identifying Information and Non-registered
Shareholders must also provide an Ownership Certificate, no later than September 30, 2025 at 14:00 p.m. Israel time (i.e., at least two (2) hours before the General Meeting starts). Both Registered
Shareholders and Non-registered Shareholders may revoke their proxies or TASE Ballot (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Companies Law Regulations (Proxy Voting).

compensation.

The cap on the salaries paid to our executive officers, Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board will be adjusted in January of each year to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) in the previous calendar year. The Board believes this change is necessary in light of high inflation levels in Israeli in recent years.
|
| • |
We have added a reference to the Vice Chairman, a role that was created as part of the expansion and strengthening of our executive leadership team announced on July 30, 2025, and
clarified that the current cap on the salary paid to the Chairman will also apply to the Vice Chairman, and will be based either on the costs to the employer or through an invoice that will be issued by the office holder, in the event
that he or she is engaged as a service provider.
|
| • |
We have modified the method for calculating the value of equity-based compensation to add that such calculation may also be based on the binomial option pricing model. Currently, the
Black-Scholes model or any other model used to determine equity value for accounting purposes may be used.
|
| • |
In reference to the maximum dilution percentage of 10%, we have added a clarification stating that the number of shares used to determine dilution shall also include, in addition to shares
resulting from the exercise of options, the shares that may be issued under our outstanding RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”).
|
| • |
Regarding reimbursement of relocation expenses, we have clarified that such reimbursement is permitted in the event that an office holder relocates either from Israel to another country or
from another country to Israel.
|
| • |
We have also made other minor clean-up and technical changes to the language of the Compensation Policy, such as fixing cross references.
|
| 1. |

|
| 4. |
Vesting of the options will be governed by the Company’s equity compensation plan and the award agreement, and subject to adjustment and acceleration mechanisms stated therein.
|

The shares issued upon exercise of the options will be listed for trading on TASE.
|

Grant of 31,561 PSUs (performance-based RSUs) with a total value of NIS 2,557,382, reflecting an annual value of NIS 639,345 over the vesting period (calculated linearly, not based on
accounting expense).
|
| 2. |
The PSUs will be granted on the Grant Date, and the first tranche of the PSUs may vest based on the Performance Metrics (as defined below) for 2026, and not before the first anniversary of
the Grant Date.

For as long as Ms. Leviatan is an office holder in Enlight’s group, the PSUs will vest in four equal annual tranches of 25% each. The first tranche will vest 12 months after the Grant

|
| 4. |
Each year, the target threshold will be the midpoint of the Company’s forecast for the relevant metric, as published by the Company at the beginning of the calendar year (the “Target Threshold”).

Vesting of each annual tranche will be conditioned upon achievement of 90% of the Target Threshold (the “Minimal Threshold”), which will entitle
vesting of 50% of the PSUs of the tranche, with a linear interpolation to apply for performance between the Minimal Threshold and the Target Threshold.

Performance of 100% or more of the Target Threshold will result in vesting of 100% of the PSUs for that tranche.

be offset by overperformance of the other.

Upon satisfying the above conditions, the vested PSUs will convert into ordinary shares of the Company in accordance with the equity compensation plan and the award agreement, subject to
adjustment and acceleration mechanisms stated therein.
|

Enlight stands at its strongest point to date, with an organizational, operational and leadership infrastructure primed for significant continued growth. In recent years, the Company has
taken strategic steps to build managerial infrastructure and business growth engines that have generated, and are expected to continue to generate, robust growth and strong results. The Company’s Revenues & Income and Adjusted EBITDA
grew between 2018 and 2025 (expected end of year) at a CAGR of 39%.2
|
| 2. |
The Board believes that the appointment of Adi Leviatan as CEO - bringing deep and global experience from a Fortune 100 industrial and technology company that is active in 60 countries, as
well as from years of senior leadership at McKinsey & Company, the world’s leading strategy consulting firm - marks the natural next step in Enlight’s global expansion.
|
| 3. |
The proposed terms of service and employment commensurate with Ms. Leviatan’s education, skills, expertise, professional experience, achievements, the level of responsibility required for
the role of our Chief Executive Officer and the challenges Ms. Leviatan will face. Ms. Leviatan has a strong managerial and strategic track record, having held senior executive positions in leading companies in their respective
industries, demonstrating success in driving fast and sustainable business growth and navigating dynamic business and regulatory environments.
|
| 4. |
The proposed terms are aligned with the market terms for compensation of chief executive officers in companies operating in the Company’s industry and in companies with similar

| 7. |
The proposed equity-based compensation constitutes an appropriate incentive and aligns the interests of Ms. Leviatan with those of the Company and its shareholders. The structure of the

long-term Company performance, thereby incentivizing Ms. Levitan to drive growth and shareholder value. Furthermore, the proposed value of the equity compensation does not create undue dependence or encourage excessive risk-taking.

|
| 2. |
Mr. Yavetz co-founded the Company and has successfully led it since inception in 2008, positioning the Company as a leader in its field in Israel and as a prominent player in the
international market. Under Mr. Yavetz’s leaderships, the Company established s significant global presence through a combination of organic growth in Europe, building capabilities across the value chain, from greenfield to power producer
(IPP), and through strategic M&A in the United States. Furthermore, Mr. Yavetz recognized early the potential of major drivers of growth for the Company (such as energy storage, agro-solar trend and the potential in cropfield) and
drove the Company to seize such opportunities. Mr. Yavetz’s leadership has enabled Enlight’s substantial growth and prepared the way for the Company’s current business plan.
|

A compensation policy (hereinafter - the “Compensation Policy”), as defined in the Companies Law, 1999 (hereinafter - the “Companies Law” or the “Law”), is a policy regarding the terms of office and employment (as such terms are defined in the Companies Law from time to time) of the Company’s office holders.

The Compensation Policy sets forth a ceiling on the terms of office and employment of the Company office holders who are not directors. The policy is declarative and does not establish any liability of the Company toward its office
holders. The Company is not obligated to grant the office holders any or all of the components included in the policy, in whole or in part, and the policy does not entitle the office holders to any rights, whether directly or indirectly. The
Company will only be bound by the employment agreements entered into between it and its office holders.
|
|
2.
|
Objectives of the Compensation Policy
|
| 2.1. |
The Company acknowledges the vital importance of the human element in all Company ranks, and particularly its executive rank. Hence, the Company considers it very important to establish a suitable and appropriate compensation policy for
Company office holders, including by creating the right incentives to promote the Company’s short-term and long-term goals, its work plans, and its policy, taking into consideration, among other things, the office holders’ areas of
responsibility and the risks that affect the Company’s activity.
|
| 2.2. |
The Company has adopted the Compensation Policy pursuant to the following objectives:
|
| 2.2.1. |
Achieving the Company’s goals and work plans in the long-term, and make sure that the Company office holders’ interests, are, subject to any applicable law, identical to and reflect those of the Company shareholders, to the extent
possible.
|
| 2.2.2. |
Increasing the Company office holders’ sense of identification with the Company and its activity by implementing a program intended to ensure that the Company’s success entails, inter alia, each
office holder’s individual success.
|
| 2.2.3. |
Raising the Company office holders’ satisfaction and motivation to promote the Company’s affairs and its sustainable growth.
|
| 2.2.4. |

| 3.1.4. |
The Company’s size, profitability, and the nature of its operations.

Regarding terms of office and employment that include variable components – the office holder’s contribution to achieving the Company’s goals, maximizing its profits, ensuring ethical and fair conduct, and compliance with its rules of
corporate governance, over the long-term, and the office holder’s role in the Company.
|
| 3.2. |
Additionally, when determining the terms of the office holders’ compensation, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may set relevant criteria in addition to the guidelines and considerations set forth and required under the
Companies Law, and may consider data in addition to the data set forth below in light of the Company’s best interest, condition, and plans.
|
|
4.
|

|
| 4.1.1. |

|
| 4.1.2. |

Definitions:
|
| 4.2.1. |
The “Base Wage” or “Salary”: the gross monthly wage.
|

The “Fixed Compensation” or “Wage Cost”: the Base Wage, plus social benefits and other benefits, in terms of cost to the Company.
|
| 4.2.3. |
“Variable Compensation”: the variable compensation in cash and the variable equity compensation.
|
| 4.2.4. |
The “Compensation Package”: the total cost of the compensation in terms of employment cost, which includes Fixed Compensation and Variable Compensation.
|
| 4.2.5. |
“Office holder” - as defined by the Companies Law (i.e., CEO, main business manager, deputy CEO, VP, CFO, and any other office holder in the Company irrespective of their title, as well as a director
or manager who reports directly to the CEO).
|
|
5.
|
Manner of Determining Compensation
|
| 5.1. |
All compensation components, including the monthly salary, related benefits, retirement bonuses (as the term is defined in the Law from time to time), and any benefit, payment, or payment commitment or commitments to grant such a benefit,
as applicable, granted for such employment or appointment.
|
| 5.2. |
The economic value of the entire compensation package and all its components, while taking into consideration the Company’s business results, and, if the compensation package is tied to certain objectives, examining such objectives.
|
| 5.3. |
To the extent possible, the compensation components will be challenging, but will not encourage taking risks exceeding the Company’s desired risk levels.
|
| 5.4. |
To ensure congruence between the overall compensation components set forth in the policy, Company organs will be presented with, and will discuss the approval of, all compensation components of each Company office holder. Additionally, the
wage ranges and the other terms of office and employment for Company office holders will be determined, inter alia, according to the comparable data for office holders in companies that are similar to
the Company, to the extent possible, as set forth below (hereinafter, the “Peer Company Data”). The Peer Company Data will relate to the components of the office and employment terms, to the extent
possible and to the extent the information is available.
|
| 5.5. |
The Peer Company Data will be prepared by the Company or by an external consultant, which decision will be in the Compensation Committee’s discretion, based on a methodology that the Company considers appropriate and reasonable.
Additionally, the Peer Company Data will be prepared separately for the base salary and for the aggregate compensation, to the extent relevant and if such information is available.
|
| 5.6. |
To the extent possible and such information exists, the comparison will be carried out with respect to compensation granted to office holders holding a similar position in at least 3 publicly traded companies and/or private companies that
have the following characteristics (in whole or in part, or additional criteria as the Compensation Committee finds suitable): (a) their equity is similar to the Company’s equity; (b) their operating profit is comparable to the Company’s
operating profit; (c) their total assets are similar to the Company’s total assets; (d) they have a similar turnover; (e) their market value is similar to the Company’s market value; (f) they are in the same area of activity as the Company;
(g) they operate internationally or their shares are traded on a stock exchange outside of Israel.
|
| 5.7. |
The office holder’s education, skills, expertise, professional experience, work and contribution to achieving the Company’s business goals and meeting its work plans (in such office holder’s current or previous position).
|
| 5.8. | Insofar as the office holder resides outside of Israel – the differences in the salary terms and policies between the country of the office holder’s residence and Israel. |
| 5.9. |
The office holder’s role, areas of responsibility, and previous wage agreements. Additionally, as relevant, the comparable data regarding the Company’s previous or present office holders in the same position or in similar positions will be
taken into consideration, with respect to all components of the office and employment terms. Also, and to the extent relevant, any substantial changes that occurred in the office holder’s authorities and areas of responsibility during the
year will be considered.
|
| 5.10. |
The ratio of the office holders’ terms of office and employment, and the wages12 paid to all other Company employees and contractors employed by the Company (as these
terms are defined in the Law from time to time), and in particular, the ratio to these employees’ mean and median wages, and the effect of the gaps in such wage data on labor relations within the Company.
|
| 5.11. |
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will review the above ratio and note if they believe the ratio is appropriate and suitable considering, among other things, the Company’s nature, size, staff composition and area of
activity, and if these ratios might adversely affect labor relations within the Company.
|
| 5.12. |
The ratio between the Wage Cost of the various office holders in the Company and the mean and median Wage Cost of all other Company employees, and the ratio between the Compensation Package (Wage Cost, regular annual cash bonus and equity
based compensation) of each Company office holder and the mean and median Compensation Package of all other Company employees shall not exceed:

Each goal will receive a separate score indicating compliance with the goal and the bonus will be calculated pro rata to the relative weight of such goal.
|
| ◾ |
A lower quantitative threshold will also be set for each goal. For performance below the lower threshold no bonus will be paid with respect to such specific target.
|
| ◾ |
A bonus of 60% of the specific weight attributed to a specific goal will be granted for reaching the low threshold, and for performance exceeding this threshold, a bonus of between 60% and 100% will be granted, to be calculated on a linear
basis (for the difference between the goal and the lower threshold). If the goal is met, a score of 100% will be given with respect to this indicator.

The Company’s office holders may be entitled to all benefits under their respective employment agreements or to the redemption of such benefits, as though they had continued being Company employees, even if the prior notice period (or part
of it) is redeemed.
|
| 11.3. |
During the prior notice period, the office holder must continue to perform such office holder’s job at the Company (subject to the Company’s decision).
|
| 11.4. |
The office holders’ terms of office and employment will include a provision under which the Company may dismiss the office holder without prior notice in cases that revoke such officer holder’s entitlement to severance pay, which include
embezzlement, theft, a criminal offense involving moral turpitude, a violation of the duty of confidence and/or noncompete clause, a severe disciplinary violation, a breach of trust, and a fundamental breach of the agreement (“Dismissal Under
Serious Circumstances”).
|
| 11.5. |
Retirement bonus
|
| 11.5.1. |
In addition to the prior notice period, the Company may approve a retirement/adjustment bonus to the CEO and/or office holders, in an amount not to exceed six monthly salaries, in the event of dismissal by the Company (excluding Dismissal
Under Serious Circumstances), or their resignation, as the case may be. Only an office holder’s monthly salary will be taken into consideration for the purpose of a retirement bonus (i.e. benefits, other grants and bonuses, etc. are
excluded), multiplied by the number of months granted to that office holder.
|
| 11.5.2. |
The retirement bonuses will be brought before the Company’s competent organs for approval, in accordance with applicable law, before entry into the employment agreement or the service agreement, and they will be determined according to the
relevant considerations and criteria set forth in Sections 2, 3, 5 above, and subject to the office holders’ satisfaction of all the following conditions:
|
| 11.5.2.1. | They have been a Company employee or have been providing services to the Company for at least 3 years; |
| 11.5.2.2. |
During such office holder’s employment period, the office holder made a material contribution to advance the Company's business and to maximize its profits.
|
| 11.5.2.3. |
The circumstances of the office holder’s retirement do not justify revoking such office holder’s severance.
|
| 11.5.2.4. |
The Company’s CEO (or the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if the CEO is retiring) recommended paying the retirement bonus based on the Company’s performance in the relevant period.

Other General Provisions
|
| 13.1. |
The office holders to whom the Compensation Policy applies may be Company employees or independent contractors providing services to it. If the office holder provides services to the Company as an independent contractor, the provisions of
the Compensation Policy will apply, mutatis mutandis, and the compensation to the office holder will be paid against invoices, and the compensation components will be normalized, so that overall, they will financially match the provisions of
this policy, provided that the foregoing does not adversely affect the Company’s best interest, condition, and plans.
|
| 13.2. |
The provisions of this Compensation Policy shall not derogate from any present and/or future provision of any applicable law, including, without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of the Companies Law, and/or
the regulations and/or orders promulgated thereunder, and any relief, exemption and/or additional discretion granted to any of the Company organs, as set forth in any such statutory provision, including provisions adopted into law after the
approval of this policy, they will apply to the Company and be considered part of this Compensation Policy, after the Compensation Committee or the Company Board of Directors decide to add them, in whole or in part, to this policy – without
requiring shareholders approval therefor.
|
| 13.3. |
The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors may approve a deviation of up to 5% per calendar year, from any maximum amount, limitation, or other provisions stated in this policy, and such a deviation will be considered compliant with
the Compensation Policy. The foregoing does not apply to sections of the Compensation Policy with respect to which a specific deviation threshold has been determined.
|
| 13.4. |
Immaterial changes to the office and employment terms of office holders who report directly to the CEO and who are not controlling shareholders shall require only the Compensation Committee’s prior approval, provided that the Compensation
Committee determines that the change to the employment terms is immaterial. For that purpose, it has been determined that the total immaterial changes in the office and employment terms of such office holder, which will be approved by the
Compensation Committee for any reporting year, may not exceed 5% (in real terms), relative to all office and employment terms of the office holder’s which were approved by the Company’s competent organs, for that reporting year.
