|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restricted stock (2,500) | Vested Jan 1, 2025 per director grant schedule | N/A | Not disclosed | Hedging prohibited by policy; no pledging disclosed . |

Investment Implications
- Alignment: CFO’s ownership is modest (<1%), with anti-hedging and clawback policies supporting alignment; lack of disclosed ownership guidelines and low personal stake may limit pay-for-performance alignment .
- Retention risk: Engagement via a services company (rather than direct employment) with no disclosed severance/change-in-control terms could increase mobility risk; however, fee increase from NIS 40,000 to NIS 63,000 suggests retention-oriented adjustment .
- Trading signals: No Form 4s found; option repricing excluded Elmaliah, avoiding a potential red flag; equity plan expansion indicates potential dilution but not specific to Elmaliah .
- Execution: Company trends show revenue growth and improving EBITDA; CFO credibility is supported by prior public-company reporting experience; monitoring future disclosures on CFO incentives and grants is key to evaluating pay-performance coupling .
