The Meeting will be held on August 15, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. (Israel time), at the Company’s offices, at 20 Raul Wallenberg Street, Tower A Tel Aviv 6971916 Israel.

 

This proxy statement, the attached Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form are being made available to holders of SciSparc’s ordinary shares, beginning July 11, 2023.

 

You are entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the Meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on July 12, 2023, in person or through a broker, trustee or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at such time, or which appear in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date. You can vote your ordinary shares by attending the Meeting or by following the instructions under “How You Can Vote” below. Our Board urges you to vote your ordinary shares so that they will be counted at the Meeting or at any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting.

 

Agenda Items

 

The following matters are on the agenda for the Meeting (the “Proposals”):

 

(1) to re-elect each of Mr. Amitay Weiss and Mr. Itschak Shrem as a Class III director, to serve until the Company’s third annual general meeting of shareholders following this Meeting, and until their respective successor is duly elected and qualified;

 

(2) to approve a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares at a ratio of up to 1:10 to be effected at the discretion of, and at such ratio and on such date to be determined by the board of directors; and

In addition to considering the foregoing Proposals, the Company’s shareholders will have the opportunity to hear from representatives of the Company’s management, who will be available at the Meeting to review and discuss with shareholders the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

We are not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. If any other matters are presented properly at the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment and the recommendation of the Board.

 

Board Recommendation

 

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the above Proposals.

 

Quorum and Adjournment

 

On July 10, 2023, we had a total of 7,352,337 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Each ordinary share outstanding as of the close of business on July 12, 2023, is entitled to one vote on each of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting. Under our amended and restated articles of association, currently in effect (the “Current Articles”), the Meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders attend the Meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold ordinary shares representing at least 15% of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to Wednesday, August 16, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. (Israel time). At such adjourned meeting the presence of at least one or more shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power represented by their ordinary shares) will constitute a quorum.

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding ordinary shares for a beneficial owner attends the Meeting but does not vote on a particular Proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Brokers that hold ordinary shares in “street name” for clients (as described below) typically have authority to vote on “routine” Proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. The only item on the Meeting agenda that may be considered routine is Proposal No. 3 relating to the reappointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023 and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders; however, we cannot be certain whether this will be treated as a routine matter since our proxy statement is prepared in compliance with the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), rather than the rules applicable to domestic U.S. reporting companies. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds ordinary shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its ordinary shares, if the shareholder wants its ordinary shares to count for the Proposals.

 

Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting in person or by proxy is required to approve each of the Proposals.

 

Apart from for the purpose of determining a quorum, broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not entitled to vote. Abstentions will not be treated as either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” a matter.

 

How You Can Vote

 

You can vote either in person at the Meeting or by authorizing another person as your proxy, whether or not you attend the Meeting. You may vote in any of the manners below:

 

By Internet — If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit a proxy over the Internet by logging on to the website listed on the enclosed proxy card, entering your control number located on the enclosed proxy card and submitting a proxy by following the on-screen prompts. If you hold shares in “street name,” and if the brokerage firm, bank or other similar nominee that holds your shares offers Internet voting, you may follow the instructions shown on the enclosed voting instruction form in order to submit your proxy over the Internet;

 

By telephone — If you are a shareholder of record, you can submit a proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number listed on the enclosed proxy card, entering your control number located on the enclosed proxy card and following the prompts. If you hold shares in “street name,” and if the brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization that holds your shares offers telephone voting, you may follow the instructions shown on the enclosed voting instruction form in order to submit a proxy by telephone; or

 

By mail — If you are a shareholder of record and received a printed proxy card, you can submit a proxy by completing, dating, signing and returning your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the enclosed proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as a guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), please indicate your name and title or capacity. If you hold shares in “street name,” you have the right to direct your brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization on how to vote your shares, and the brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. To provide instructions to your brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization by mail, please complete, date, sign and return your voting instruction form in the postage-paid envelope provided by your brokerage firm, bank or other similar organization.

 

Registered Holders

 

If you are a shareholder of record whose ordinary shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you can vote your ordinary shares by attending the Meeting or by completing and signing a proxy card. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed as proxies on the proxy card or to vote in person at the Meeting. Please follow the instructions on the proxy card. You may change your mind and cancel your proxy card by sending us a written notice, by signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, or by voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting. We will not be able to count a proxy card from a registered holder unless we receive it at our offices at 20 Raul Wallenberg Street, Tower A Tel Aviv 6971916 Israel, or Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. receives it in the enclosed envelope no later than 11:59 p.m. EDT on August 14, 2023.

 

If you provide specific instructions (by marking a box) with regard to the Proposals, your ordinary shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without giving specific instructions your ordinary shares will be voted in favor of each Proposal in accordance with the recommendation of the Board. The persons named as proxies in the enclosed proxy card will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Meeting, including the authority to adjourn the Meeting pursuant to Article 30 of the Company’s Current Articles.

Beneficial Owners

 

If you are a beneficial owner of the ordinary shares held in a brokerage account or by a trustee or nominee, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction form by the broker, trustee or nominee or an agent hired by the broker, trustee or nominee. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote, and you are also invited to attend the Meeting.

 

Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those ordinary shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your ordinary shares, giving you the right to vote the ordinary shares at the Meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your ordinary shares.

 

Who Can Vote

 

You are entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the Meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on July 12, 2023, in person or through a broker, trustee or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at such time, or which appear in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date.

 

Revocation of Proxies

 

Shareholders of record may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by filing with us a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. A shareholder who holds shares in “street name” should follow the directions of, or contact, the bank, broker or nominee if he, she or it desires to revoke or modify previously submitted voting instructions.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

Proxies are being made available to shareholders beginning July 11, 2023. Certain officers, directors, employees and agents of SciSparc, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, 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 beneficial owners of ordinary shares.

 

Voting Results

 

The final voting results will be tallied by the Company based on the information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. or otherwise, and the overall results of the Meeting will be published following the Meeting in a report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K that will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF A REVERSE SHARE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING ORDINARY SHARES

 

Background

 

On June 22, 2023, our Board resolved to effect a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares at a ratio of up to 1:10, such that, depending on the ratio, every two ordinary shares and up to every ten ordinary shares shall be consolidated into one ordinary share. Such resolution is subject to the approval of our shareholders.

 

We are therefore seeking approval of the shareholders to effect a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares at a ratio of up to 1:10, such that, depending on the ratio, every two ordinary shares and up to ten ordinary shares shall be consolidated into one ordinary share (the “Reverse Split”). If this Proposal 2 is approved by our shareholders, our Board will have the authority, in its own discretion, to determine if to implement the Reverse Split, and the exact ratio and the effective date of the Reverse Split.

 

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares would be reduced in accordance with the Reverse Split ratio. The Reverse Split, if implemented, would not adjust the number of authorized ordinary shares under the Current Articles, which, as of the date hereof consist of 75,000,000 ordinary shares without par value. In addition, if the Reverse Split is implemented, the exercise price and the number of ordinary shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options and warrants will be proportionately adjusted pursuant to the terms of the respective options and warrants in connection with the Reverse Split. Furthermore, upon completion of the Reverse Split, the number of ordinary shares issuable pursuant to our incentive plans shall be appropriately adjusted.

 

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. In accordance with our Current Articles, all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole ordinary share, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated shares of more than one half of one whole share shall be entitled to receive one consolidated share.

 

Upon the implementation of the Reverse Split, we intend to treat shares held by shareholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to affect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding our ordinary shares in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Split. Shareholders who hold our ordinary shares with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.

 

Proposal

 

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

 

“RESOLVED, to approve a reverse share split of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares at a ratio of up to 1:10, such that, depending on the ratio, every two ordinary shares and up to every ten ordinary shares shall be consolidated into one ordinary share, to be effected at the discretion of, at such ratio and on such date to be determined by the board of directors, as detailed in the Proxy Statement, dated July 11, 2023.”

 

Vote Required

 

See “Vote Required for Approval of Each of the Proposals” above.

 

Board Recommendation

 

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Reverse Split.
