ITEM 1

ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTOR

Pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association, the Board of Directors (other than our external directors) is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III.  Each director, when and however elected, is designated as a member of a certain class of directors.

Each director (other than our external directors or a director elected to fill a vacancy in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company) 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; provided, that each director in Class I serves for a term ending on the date of the annual general meeting in 2006; each director in Class II will serve for a term ending on the date of the annual general meeting in 2007; and each director in Class III will serve for a term ending on the date of the annual general meeting in 2008.  The term of service of Mr. Yehuda Zisapel, the sole director in Class I, expires on the date of this year’s Annual General Meeting.

Directors will be elected at the Annual General Meeting by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at such meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the election of directors.

This nominee was approved and recommended to the Board by the Company’s independent directors.

In the event such nominee should be unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as shall be determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their best judgment.  The Company is not aware of any reason why the nominee, if elected, should be unable to serve as director.  The Company does not have any understanding or agreement with respect to the future election of the above nominee.

Board Meeting and Committees

During 2005, the Board of Directors held seven Board meetings. The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, which is comprised of Mr. Christopher McCleary, Prof. Liora Katzenstein, Mr. Kenneth Sichau and Mr. Hagen Hultzsch and, until the expiration of their term (see Item 2), Mr. Yiftach Atir and Mr. Avigdor Willenz, all of whom qualify as Independent Directors, as determined under the Nasdaq rules. The Audit Committee exercises the powers of the Board of Directors with respect to the Company’s accounting, reporting and financial control practices.  Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Chris McCleary, a members of our Audit Committee, is a financial expert as defined in the applicable regulations, and has determined that all members of the Audit Committee qualify as “independent” as this term is defined in the NASDAQ Listing Standards.

The Board of Directors has also established a Compensation Committee, which is comprised of Mr. Kenneth Sichau, Mr. Christopher McCleary and, until the expiration of his term (see Item 2), Mr. Avigdor Willenz (see Item 2). The Compensation Committee is authorized to make decisions regarding executive compensation and administers the Company’s share option plans. Our board of directors has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee are “independent” as this term is defined in the NASDAQ Listing Standards.

Executive Compensation

The aggregate direct compensation paid to or accrued for the account of all directors and executive officers as a group during the 2005 fiscal year was $1,638,000.  This amount includes officers’ compensation, amounts set aside or accrued to provide pension, retirement, insurance or similar benefits, amounts expended by the Company for automobiles made available to its officers and expenses (including business association dues and expenses) for which officers were reimbursed. See also the proposals at Items 2 and 4.

Stock Options

The total number of options granted to officers and directors of the Company during 2005 as a group was 125,000 at an average exercise price of $17.08.  See also the proposal at Item 4.

ITEM 2

ELECTION OF EXTERNAL DIRECTORS

Under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), companies incorporated under the laws of Israel whose shares have been offered to the public within or outside of Israel are required to appoint at least two external directors (the “external directors”).  The Companies Law provides that a person may not be appointed as an external director if he or his relative, partner, employer or any entity under his control has or had during the two years preceding the date of appointment any affiliation with: the company; any entity controlling the company; or any entity controlled by the company or by this controlling entity. The term “affiliation” includes: an employment relationship; a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis; control; and service as an office holder.

No person can serve as an external director if the person’s position or other business creates, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person’s responsibilities as an external director. Until the lapse of two years from termination of office, a company may not engage an external director to serve as an office holder and cannot employ or receive services from that person, either directly or indirectly, including through a corporation controlled by that person.

The external directors must be elected by the shareholders. The initial term of an external director is three years and may be extended for an additional three years.  Each committee of a company’s board of directors is required to include at least one external director, except that the audit committee must be comprised of at least three directors, including all of the external directors.

The current external directors, Messrs. Avigdor Willenz and Yiftach Atir, have concluded two terms of three-years as the Company’s external directors and therefore their term cannot be extended. Accordingly, at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to elect Mr. Zohar Gilon and Dr. Orna Berry as external directors for a term of three years.   The Company has received a declaration from such nominees, confirming their qualifications under the Companies Law to be elected as external directors of the Company.

Under the Companies Law, (1) an external director must have either “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualifications” (as such terms are defined in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law) and (2) at least one of the outside directors must have “accounting and financial expertise.” The Board of Directors is required to determine (based in criteria set forth in regulations promulgated under the Companies Law) whether the outside directors have “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional qualifications”.

The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that both Mr. Zohar Gilon and Dr. Orna Berry have “accounting and financial expertise” as well as “professional qualifications”.

It is intended that proxies (other than those directing the proxy holders to vote against the listed nominees or to abstain) will be voted for the election of Mr. Zohar Gilon and Dr. Orna Berry as external directors, for a period of three years.

Subject to the Companies Law, in the event that either Mr. Zohar Gilon or Dr. Orna Berry should be unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person as shall be determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their best judgment to be suitable to serve as an external director.  The Company is not aware of any reason why the nominees, if elected, should be unable to serve as directors.  The Company does not have any understanding or agreement with respect to 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 and information furnished to it by the nominees. Mr. Zohar Gilon and Dr. Orna Berry do not beneficially own any of our shares. If elected, the external directors shall receive compensation as described in Item 4 below. In addition, they will be provided with an indemnity letter, as approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting that took place on December 11, 2005.

Mr. Zohar Gilon serves as a General Partner and Managing Director of Tamar Technologies Ventures, a venture capital fund investing in Israel and the United States.  From 1993 until 1995, Mr. Gilon served as President of W.S.P. Capital Holdings Ltd., which provides investment banking and underwriting services in Israel and invests in real estate and high-technology investments in Israel and abroad.  Currently, Mr. Gilon serves as a director of the following companies: Ceragon Networks Ltd., RADCom Ltd., Orsense Ltd., Exlibris Ltd., Wisair Ltd., Oberon Media Inc., and RADVentures, an investment fund for RAD Date Communications employees. Mr. Gilon holds a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the Technion and an M.B.A. degree from Tel Aviv University.

Dr. Orna Berry has been a Venture Partner in Gemini Israel funds since  August  2000. Beginning  December 2005, she serves as the Chairperson of Prime Sense Ltd., and  beginning  January 2005 as the Chairperson of Adamind Ltd., a UK public company. Dr. Berry is a member of the European Union Research Advisory Board (EURAB) and a member of the Association of Computing Machines’ (ACM) task force on job migration and globalization (TFJM). From 1997 to  2000 she acted as Chief Scientist and Director of the Industrial R&D Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Government of Israel. In 1993 she co-founded ORNET Data Communication Technologies Ltd. and served as co-president of ORNET until  1997. Dr. Berry holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Southern California, and M.A. and B.A. degrees in Statistics and Mathematics from Tel Aviv University and Haifa University, respectively. Currently, she serves as a director of the following companies:  Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd., Compugen Ltd., Poalim Capital Markets, Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. and Commtouch Software Ltd.

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

RESOLVED, that Mr. Zohar Gilon and Dr. Orna Berry are hereby elected to a serve as external directors of the Company for a period of three years.”

Approval of the above resolution will require the affirmative vote of a majority of ordinary shares present at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the resolution, provided that (i) the shares voting in favor of such resolution include at least one-third of the shares voted by shareholders who are not “controlling shareholders” (as such term is defined in the Companies Law), or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the resolution by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders does not exceed one percent of our outstanding shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has no controlling shareholders within the meaning of the Companies Law.

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

ITEM 3

RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

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, 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 Board of Directors believes that such limited non-audit function does not affect the independence of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer.  A representative of the auditors will be present at the meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.  

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 the year 2005, we paid Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer approximately $131,000 for auditing and audit related services and $23,000 for tax related services.

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.”

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 for the approval of this matter.

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

ITEM 4

APPROVAL OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS COMPENSATION

Under the Israeli Companies Law, compensation of the directors requires the approval of the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, in that order. Up to 2006, the Company’s directors did not receive any remuneration for their service other than a grant of options to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares of the Company for each year of service. On January 29, 2006, the Audit Committee and Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a policy, according to which each of our non-employee directors, who may serve the Company from time to time, including our external directors, will receive the following compensation, effective as of January 1, 2006:

An annual fee of $20,000;

a grant of options under our stock option plans to purchase 10,000 ordinary shares for each year for which such non-employee director holds office. The options will be granted for three (3) years in advance, and therefore every director will receive an initial grant of options to purchase 30,000 ordinary shares, which shall vest over a period of three years, with a third (10,000) to vest upon each anniversary of service, provided that the director still serves on the Company’s Board of Directors on such date. The grant will be made on the date of the director’s election, and thereafter, every three years, if reelected, an additional grant of options to purchase additional 30,000 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 Company share’s market price at the date of the annual meeting approving the election or reelection of a director).

a special attendance fee of $3,000 for the director’s attendance (in person) in a Board meeting held outside his/her country of residence; and

an annual fee of $5,000 for each director who presides as a chairman of any committee of the Board of Directors.

If elected, the above consideration shall apply to the two new external directors, Mr. Zohar Gilon and Dr. Orna Berry, effective as of the date of the meeting. The above consideration shall not apply to Messrs. Yiftach Atir and Avigdor Willenz, who served as external directors for the past six years and whose term has expired.


In our 2005 annual meeting of the shareholders held on December 11, 2005, Messrs. Christopher McCleary,  Kenneth Sichau and Hagen Hultzsch were elected as Class III directors of the Company until the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2008. At that meeting, the shareholders also approved the grant of options to purchase 30,000 ordinary shares, which will vest over a period of three (3) years, to each of Kenneth Sichau and Hagen Hultzsch. Mr. Chris McCleary, who served as a member of our board of directors since February 2000, inadvertently did not receive such grant and, consistent with the abovesaid policy regarding grant of options to non-employee directors, we now wish, subject to shareholder approval, to grant Mr. McCleary options to purchase 30,000 ordinary shares, which will vest over a period of two (2) years (to account for the lapse of one year of service), and have an exercise price of the Company’s share market price at the date of the meeting. If at least one nominee for external director is elected at the meeting pursuant to Item 2, he will immediately become a member of the Audit Committee. The meeting will then recess to enable the Audit Committee and Board of Directors to convene and consider this option grant to Mr. McCleary.  If so approved, the meeting will reconvene and such option grant will be brought before the shareholders.  

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

RESOLVED, that the terms of compensation, including the proposed grants of options to each of the Company’s non-employee directors, who may serve the Company from time to time, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated August 31, 2006, are ratified and approved in all respects; and to further approve that the above compensation shall be effective as of January 1, 2006 (other than in connection with Options, which will be granted at the market price of the grant date) for all non-employee directors (excluding the external directors named in Item 2 above, for whom such compensation shall be effective as of the date of the meeting ). Options to the 2 external directors named in Item 2 above will be granted with an exercise price equal to the Company’s share market price at the date of this meeting;” and, subject to further approval of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, if said recess in the meeting takes place, also:

RESOLVED, that the proposed grant of options to Mr. Chris McCleary, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated August 31, 2006, are approved in all respects”.

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 for the approval of this matter.

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

ITEM 5

APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION TO CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER


The Company’s success depends to a significant extent on the performance of Mr. Roy Zisapel, our President and Chief Executive Officer. In recognition of the importance of Mr. Zisapel’s services to the Company, the Compensation Committee determined to improve the terms of compensation of Mr. Zisapel, as follows: (a) effective as of the date of the meeting, to increase his annual basic salary from $123,000 to $200,000, and  (b) effective as of the year 2007, to provide him with an annual bonus of up to $100,000, subject to Mr. Zisapel achieving certain milestones to be determined by the Compensation Committee, and approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors before the beginning of each year.

Since Mr. Roy Zisapel is also a director of the Company, his compensation requires the approval of the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, in that order, in accordance with the Companies Law. If at least one nominee for external director is elected at the meeting pursuant to Item 2, he will immediately become a member of the Audit Committee. The meeting will then recess to enable the Audit Committee and Board of Directors to convene and consider the compensation for the CEO. If so approved, the meeting will reconvene and such compensation will be brought before the shareholders.


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


RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated August 31, 2006, be, and the same hereby is, approved; and that the Compensation Committee or another committee of the Board may set the milestones to be met by the Chief Executive Officer in connection with the annual bonus, subject to approval of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.”


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 for the approval of this matter.

The Board of Directors (excluding Mr. Roy Zisapel) recommends a vote FOR the approval of the proposed resolution.

The exercise price of the options shall be equal to the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the date of the meeting..

Since Mr. Chris McCleary is a director of the Company, his compensation requires the approval of the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, in that order, in accordance with the Companies Law. If at least one nominee for external director is elected at the meeting pursuant to Item 2, he will immediately become a member of the Audit Committee. The meeting will then recess to enable the Audit Committee and Board of Directors to convene and consider the compensation to Mr. McCleary.  If so approved, the meeting will reconvene and such compensation will be brought before the shareholders.


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


RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Chairman, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated August 31, 2006, be, and the same hereby is, approved.”
