Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Proxy Statement to “Innoviz,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” refer to Innoviz Technologies Ltd.
 
At the Meeting, the following resolutions will be proposed for adoption by the shareholders (each, a “Proposal”):
 
1.          Approval of the re-election of each of Aharon Aharon and Orit Stav, as Class I directors of the Company to hold office until the close of the annual general meeting of the Company in 2024, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified;
 
2.          Approval of an amendment to the articles of association of the Company; and

Shareholders Entitled to Vote
 
Only holders of record of Shares at the close of business on November 2, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting.
 
As of November 2, 2021, the Company had 133,694,399 issued and outstanding Shares. Each Share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Meeting. The votes of all shareholders voting on a matter are counted and abstentions are not taken into account (other than for quorum purposes).
 
Proxies
 
All shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person are requested to complete, date and sign the enclosed form of proxy and return it promptly in the pre-addressed envelope provided.
 
If you hold ordinary shares in “street name,” that is, you are an underlying beneficial holder who holds ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on your directing the bank, broker or other nominee to vote the ordinary shares in accordance with the voting instructions on your voting instruction card. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting.
 
Please follow the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card received from your bank, broker or nominee. You may also be able to submit voting instructions to a bank, broker or nominee by phone or via the Internet if your voting instruction card describes such voting methods. Please be certain to have your control number from your voting instruction card ready for use in providing your voting instructions.
 

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 shares if the shareholder wants its shares to count for the Proposal.
 
Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed herewith, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the Shares covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholder executing such proxy. Subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, in the absence of such instructions, the Shares represented by properly executed and received proxies will be voted “FOR” all of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the Meeting for which the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) recommends a “FOR”.

For this purpose, abstaining shareholders shall be deemed present at the meeting. If a quorum is not present within half an hour of the time designated for the Meeting, the Meeting shall be adjourned to Wednesday, December 15, 2021, at the same time and place. At the adjourned Meeting, any number of shareholders who are present in person or by proxy, or who have delivered a proxy card, shall constitute a quorum.

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.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
 
APPROVAL OF THE RE-ELECTION OF EACH OF AHARON AHARON AND
ORIT STAV, AS CLASS I DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY TO HOLD OFFICE
UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE
COMPANY OF 2024
 
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the re-election of each of Aharon Aharon and Orit Stav as Class I directors of the Company to hold office until the close of the annual general meeting of the Company of 2024, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

There are currently eight directors serving on the Board, two of whom are standing for re-election or election under this Proposal No. 1. The Class I directors attended 100% or more of the meetings of the Board and its committees on which they served, held since the previous annual general meeting.

From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Aharon was the Chief Executive Officer of Seabridge.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
 
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF
THE COMPANY
 
At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve an amendment the Company’s articles of association (“Articles”) such that the following Article 63 shall be added to the Articles:
 
JURISDICTION
 
63. (a) Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, with respect to any causes of action arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended, against any person or entity, including such claims brought against the Company, its directors, officers, employees, advisors, attorneys, accountants or underwriters, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (b) unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the competent courts in Tel Aviv, Israel shall be the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s shareholders, or (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Companies Law or the Securities Law. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions. This Article 63 shall not apply to causes of action arising under the U.S. Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.”
 
We believe that adopting the amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for the following reasons:
 

The federal forum selection provision allows for the consolidation of multi-jurisdiction litigation and reduces the risk that the outcome of cases in multiple jurisdictions could be inconsistent;
 

The amendment will help avoid state court forum shopping and provide for efficiencies in managing the procedural aspects of securities litigation; and
 

The amendment restates the current provision that all intra-corporate disputes be litigated in the State of Israel, where the Company is incorporated and whose law governs such disputes. Moreover, the Israeli courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate law issues involving Israeli listed companies, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Israel’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance.
 
The amendment will only regulate the forum where shareholders may file certain claims. It does not affect the remedies available if such claims are successful. Moreover, the Company will retain the ability to consent to an alternative forum in circumstances where the Company determines that its interests and those of its shareholders are best served by permitting a particular dispute to proceed in a forum other than the federal district courts or State of Israel, as applicable.
 
Given these considerations, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Company’s articles of association be amended to include these exclusive forum selection provisions. There is, however, uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce these provisions, and although current case law indicates it is enforceable, there is no certainty that this will remain the case in the future.
 
At the Meeting, it is proposed that the following resolution be adopted:
 
RESOLVED, to approve the amendment to the articles of association of the Company, as detailed in the Proxy Statement, dated November 3, 2021.”

APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF KOST
FORER GABBAY & KASIERER, A MEMBER OF ERNST & YOUNG, AS THE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE PERIOD ENDING
AT THE CLOSE OF THE NEXT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
 
Under the Companies Law and our articles of association, the shareholders of our Company are authorized to appoint the Company’s independent auditors. Under our articles of association, the Board (or a committee, if it is so authorized by the Board) is authorized to determine the independent auditor’s remuneration. In addition, the approval by the Company’s audit committee of the independent auditor’s re-appointment and remuneration is required under the corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
 
 Following the recommendation by the Company’s audit committee and the Board, it is proposed that Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernest & Young Global, be reappointed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021 and until the close of the next annual general meeting, and to authorize the Board, upon recommendation of the Company’s audit committee, to determine the remuneration of such independent public accountants in accordance with the volume and nature of their services. Such auditors served as the Company’s auditors for fiscal year 2020 and have no relationship with the Company or with any affiliate of the Company, except as described in the Annual Report. Information on fees paid to the Company’s independent public accountants may be found in the Annual Report.
 
 At the Meeting, it is proposed that the following resolution be adopted:
 
 “RESOLVED, to approve and ratify the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernest & Young Global, an independent accounting firm, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021 and until the close of the next annual general meeting, and to authorize the Board, upon recommendation of the Company’s audit committee, to determine the remuneration of such independent public accountants in accordance with the volume and nature of their services.”
