EXPLANATORY NOTE
On September 18, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. Israel
time, Otonomo Technologies Ltd. (the “Company” or “Otonomo”) held its previously announced Special General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) at the Company’s executive offices at 16 Abba Eban Blvd., Herzliya Pituach
467256, Israel.
At the Meeting, the shareholders voted on the following proposals further described in the Notice and Proxy Statement
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 8, 2023:
| 1. |
“To approve, pursuant to Section 320 of the Israeli Companies Law,
5759-1999 (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Companies Law”), the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 9, 2023 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Otonomo, Urgent.ly Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Urgently”) and U.O Odyssey Merger Sub Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), a company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of Urgently, including approval of: (i) the merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement pursuant to Sections 314 through 327 of the Companies Law, whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Otonomo, with Otonomo
surviving and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Urgently (the “Merger”); (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the consideration to be received by Otonomo’s shareholders in the Merger, other than holders of “Excluded Shares” (as defined in the Merger Agreement), consisting of a number of shares of
Urgently’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Urgently common stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to the withholding of any applicable taxes, for each Otonomo Ordinary Share held as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”); (iv) the purchase of a tail endorsement to Otonomo’s current
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years commencing at the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (v) all other transactions and arrangements contemplated by the
Merger Agreement.”
|
The foregoing proposal was duly approved at the Meeting by over 96% of the total number of ordinary
shares present, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on this matter (not taking into account abstention votes) and achieved the requisite majority (including the requisite majority required pursuant to Section 320(c) of the
Companies Law), in accordance with the Companies Law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association.
| 2. |
“To approve the payment of a transaction retention bonus to Mr. Benjamin
Volkow, Otonomo’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Otonomo’s board of directors (the “Otonomo Board”), subject to the terms set forth in the retention award agreement.”
|
The foregoing proposal
was not approved by the respective requisite majority required under the Companies Law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association. 57.29% of the total number of ordinary shares held by the present shareholders, in person or by
proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on this matter (not taking into account abstention votes), were voted in favor of the foregoing proposal, however, only 48.06% of the total number of ordinary shares held by the present disinterested shareholders, in person or by proxy (including by voting
deed), and voting on this matter (not taking into account abstention votes), were voted in favor of the foregoing proposal, and the number of ordinary shares held by the present disinterested shareholders that voted against the foregoing proposal
exceeded two percent of the outstanding total ordinary shares of the Company, and therefore the foregoing proposal was not approved.
| 3. |
“To approve the payment of a transaction retention bonus to Ms. Bonnie Moav, Otonomo’s Chief Financial Officer, with respect to the portion of such bonus which exceeds the maximum amount permitted under the
Company’s compensation policy, subject to the terms set forth in the retention award agreement.”
|
The foregoing proposal was duly approved by the respective requisite majority required under the
Companies Law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association. 57.29% of the total number of ordinary shares held by the present shareholders, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on this matter (not taking into
account abstention votes), were voted in favor of the foregoing proposal, and 57.29% of the total number of ordinary shares held by the present disinterested shareholders, in person or by proxy (including by voting deed), and voting on this matter
(not taking into account abstention votes), were voted in favor of the foregoing proposal, and therefore it was duly approved.
