Q: Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

A: Your shares may be voted if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm, even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Brokerage firms have the authority under the rules of Nasdaq to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain “routine” matters. The proposals to be voted on at our Shareholders’ Meeting are not considered “routine” under applicable rules except for the Audit Ratification Proposal. When a proposal is not a routine matter and the brokerage firm has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal.

However, if we do not have a quorum of 33% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date, the Board of Directors intends to adjourn the meeting.

Q: How many votes are needed to approve the Proposals?

A: The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal, the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal, the Additional Amendment Proposal, and each of the Director Appointment Proposals. Abstentions will be treated as votes not having been cast. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on these proposals.

Q: Is voting confidential?

A: We will keep all the proxies, ballots and voting tabulations private. We only let our CMS and Broadridge examine these documents. Management will not know how you voted on a specific proposal unless it is necessary to meet legal requirements. We will, however, forward to management any written comments you make on the proxy card or that you otherwise provide.

Q: When will the Company announce the voting results?

A: The Company may announce preliminary voting results after the adjournment of the Shareholders’ Meeting and will announce the final voting results of the Shareholders’ Meeting on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Shareholders’ Meeting.

A: No officer or director has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Proposals, except:

In deciding how to vote on the Proposals, you should consider the extent to which these direct or indirect interests may have affected the Board’s recommendation to approve each of the Proposals and how their interests may differ from yours.

Q: Are any Proposals contingent upon another Proposal?

A:  No. Although no Proposal is contingent upon the outcome of the approval of another Proposal, a material matter is contingent upon the approval of all of the Proposals (as set out immediately below).

Q: Are any matters contingent upon the Proposals?

A: Yes. On February 13, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with David E. Lazar that provides for the sale in a private placement of:

The First Closing Shares were sold and issued to Mr. Lazar at a price of $1.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million simultaneously with the entering into the Purchase Agreement on February 13, 2026. The First Closing Shares and the Second Closing Shares (together the “Preferred Shares”), upon becoming fully convertible, will represent in excess of 95% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis as of the Final Closing (as defined below), assuming no additional share issuances prior to the Final Closing. The First Closing Shares are subject to certain conversion limitations as described below.

The Purchase Agreement contemplates that Mr. Lazar will separately purchase and acquire the Second Closing Shares as soon as practicable after we receive the approval of the Director Appointment Proposals, the Additional Amendment Proposal, the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal and the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal (the “Contingent Proposals”) described herein at a price of $1.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million (the “Final Closing”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions to closing as provided in the Purchase Agreement. If the Contingent Proposals are not approved, we do not believe that there will be a Final Closing, and we have agreed to issue to Mr. Lazar, in a private placement transaction, up to 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, at a price per share equal to the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the day of the Shareholders’ Meeting plus $0.02, provided, that the number of Ordinary Shares that Mr. Lazar will be entitled to purchase shall be automatically reduced to a number of Ordinary Shares such that Mr. Lazar, together with his affiliates, will not own, beneficially or otherwise, Ordinary Shares in excess of 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement.

MATTERS REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER ACTION

PROPOSAL 1

THE AUDITOR RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

Upon approval of the Audit Committee, on January 1, 2026 the Board of the company appointed Reliant to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and you are being asked to ratify such appointment. Reliant has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since January 2023. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to continue using Reliant in this capacity. Your ratification of the appointment of Reliant as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 does not preclude the Board from terminating its engagement of Reliant at a future date and retaining a new independent registered public accounting firm if it determines that such an action would be in the best interests of the Company. The Company has been advised by Reliant that neither that firm nor any of its partners had any direct financial interest or any material indirect financial interest in the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, except as independent certified public accountants.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table summarizes the fees billed by Reliant CPA PC, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Audit fees consist of fees related to professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly financial statements. Tax fees represent fees related to preparation of our corporation income tax returns. Our policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services performed by the independent accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal.

PROPOSAL 2

THE NASDAQ COMPLIANCE PROPOSAL

Our shareholders are being asked to approve the issuance of Ordinary Shares of the Company underlying (i) the Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares previously issued and sold by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Series D Preferred Shares and Series E Preferred Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement as well as the ancillary agreements entered pursuant thereto, including issuances of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of any anti-dilution provisions applicable to such preferred shares, in each case, to comply with Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Summary of the Transaction

On February 13, 2026, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with David E. Lazar for the sale and issuance in a private placement of:

The First Closing Shares were sold and issued to Mr. Lazar at a price of $1.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million simultaneously with the entering into the Purchase Agreement on February 13, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Lazar will separately purchase and acquire the Second Closing Shares as soon as practicable after we receive approval of the Proposals at a price of $1.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million (the “Final Closing”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the net proceeds of the Investment will be used for our operations, including for general corporate and working capital purposes, for expenses related to the Investment and to satisfy certain agreed upon obligations.

The Preferred Shares, upon becoming fully convertible, will represent in excess of 95% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis as of the Final Closing, assuming no additional share issuances prior to the Final Closing. The First Closing Shares are subject to certain conversion limitations as described below. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A, and the form of the unofficial English translation of the Deed of Amendment to the Articles of Association setting out the terms of the Preferred Shares is attached hereto as Annex C.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions, customary for the transaction of this type. In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to use our best efforts to hold the Shareholders’ Meeting on or before April 15, 2026 for the purpose of obtaining the Proposals. To the extent that the Proposals, including the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal, is not approved, then we will be required to use our reasonable best efforts to call another shareholder meeting within ninety (90) days of the date of the Shareholder Meeting (the “Second Meeting”) for the approval of the Proposals. If such approval is not received at the Second Meeting, we agreed to issue to Mr. Lazar, in a private placement transaction, up to 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, at a price per share equal to the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the day of the Second Meeting plus $0.02, provided, that the number of Ordinary Shares that Mr. Lazar will be entitled to purchase shall be automatically reduced to a number of Ordinary Shares such that Mr. Lazar, together with his affiliates, will not own, beneficially or otherwise, Ordinary Shares in excess of 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement also includes several additional covenants, including that we:

We also granted Mr. Lazar a right to participate in subsequent financing transactions where we issue Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share equivalents for cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination thereof until the six month anniversary of the First Closing in an amount up to 25% of the subsequent financing transaction.

Description of Voting Agreement

In connection with the First Closing of the Investment, on August 19, 2025, we and Mr. Lazar entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with certain of our stockholders (the “Voting Shareholders”) owning approximately 12.4% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares as of February 13, 2026. The Voting Agreement was entered into and became effective upon the execution and effectiveness of the Purchase Agreement and will terminate on the earlier of the Final Closing or the two-year anniversary of the Voting Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, the Voting Shareholders have agreed to (1) vote all of their Ordinary Shares at the Shareholder Meeting in favor of the proposals recommended by the Board in order to facilitate the Investment (the “Meeting Proposals”), (2) appoint us as an irrevocable proxy for the Voting Shareholders for the duration of the Voting Agreement, and (3) our ability to appoint a successor proxy for the Voting Shareholders, in the event we are unable or unwilling to serve as the proxy, and in return, the Voting Shareholders will benefit from our completing the Investment. The Voting Agreement provides for, among other things, a standstill provision relating to the Voting Shareholders that ensures they will (i) not effect, offer or propose to purchase any of our securities or assets (including derivative rights), engage in any tender, merger, recapitalization, liquidation, or other business combination transaction, solicit proxies or otherwise act to control or influence the management of the Board, (ii) not take any action (or enter into any discussions) that may force us to make a public announcement of the matters set forth in (i) above, (iii) not request that we (or directors, management, employees or agents) amend or waive any provision of the standstill and (iv) not dispose of any of our Ordinary Shares until (1) the Voting Shareholders have voted their Ordinary Shares at the Shareholder Meeting in favor of the Meeting Proposals and (2) such proposals at the Shareholder Meeting have passed.

Description of Preferred Shares

The powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions applicable to the Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, Series D Preferred Shares and Series E Preferred Shares (collectively the “Preferred Shares”) issued or to be issued in the Investment are set forth in form of the unofficial English translation of the deed of Amendment to our Articles of Association attached as Annex C hereto.

Issue

Under Dutch law, shares are issued and rights to subscribe for shares are granted pursuant to a resolution of our general meeting. Our Articles of Association provide that the general meeting may only resolve to issue shares upon the proposal of our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). The general meeting may authorize the Board of Directors to issue new shares or grant rights to subscribe for ordinary shares. The authorization can be granted and extended, in each case for a period not exceeding five years. For as long as, and to the extent that, such authorization is effective, our general meeting will not have the power to issue ordinary shares.

A resolution of the general meeting has authorized our Board of Directors until November 9, 2026, to issue ordinary shares and preferred shares up to the amount of the authorized share capital (from time to time).

The Preferred Shares may, at the request of the holder, be converted into Ordinary Shares. Subject to the approval of the Additional Amendment Proposal:

In accordance with our Articles of Association, each Preferred Share irrespective of which class it concerns, confers the right on the holder thereof to cast one vote at our general meeting. A holder of Preferred Shares has no pre-emptive right to acquire newly issued Ordinary Shares. Under our Articles of Association, any profits or distributable reserves must first be applied to pay a dividend on the Preferred Shares.

The foregoing summaries of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on February 17, 2026 and incorporated herein by reference.

Reasons for Seeking Stockholder Approval

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required prior to a 20% Issuance at a price that is less than the Minimum Price. For purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), (i) ”20% Issuance” means a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares), which alone or together with sales by our officers, directors or substantial shareholders equals 20% or more of Ordinary Shares or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance, and (ii) ”Minimum Price” means a price that is the lower of: (A) the closing price (as reflected on NASDAQ.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (B) the average closing price of Ordinary Shares (as reflected on NASDAQ.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. Shareholder approval of this proposal will constitute shareholder approval for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) requires shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities that will result in a “change of control” of a listed company, which for Nasdaq purposes is generally deemed to occur when, as a result of an issuance, an investor or a group of investors acquires, or has the right to acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding equity or voting power of the company and such ownership or voting power would be the company’s largest ownership position.

The approval of the Additional Amendment Proposal without approval of the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal would cause the Company to be in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), which prohibits us from issuing in a private offering more than 20% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares at a price that is below the minimum price set forth in such rule without previously obtaining shareholder approval, and in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). We are therefore asking our shareholders to approve for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) and 5635(d), the issuance of the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Preferred Shares pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

As described above, to the extent that the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal is not approved, then we will be required to use our reasonable best efforts to call another shareholder meeting within ninety (90) days of the date of the Shareholder Meeting (the “Second Meeting”). If requisite shareholder approval is not received at the Second Meeting, we agreed to issue to Mr. Lazar, in a private placement transaction, up to 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, at a price per share equal to the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the day of the Second Meeting plus $0.02, provided, that the number of Ordinary Shares that Mr. Lazar will be entitled to purchase shall be automatically reduced to a number of Ordinary Shares such that Mr. Lazar, together with his affiliates, will not own, beneficially or otherwise, Ordinary Shares in excess of 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of the Purchase Agreement.

In addition, unless the Company receives approval of the Proposals, we will remain subject to the Restrictive Covenants, which can impair our ability to raise additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue our operations, and we will likely have to sell all or substantial all of our assets or enter into receivership. If this to occur, the market price of our Ordinary Shares would decrease substantially and you could lose most, if not all of your investment in our Company.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal.

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL OF THE ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

As set out in further detail below, you are being asked to consider the Additional Amendment Proposal to further amend the Articles of Association of the Company (and to authorize CMS to have the deed of amendment of articles of association executed) to (i) to authorize the Series A Conversion so that of each Series A Preferred Share is convertible into nine (9) Ordinary Shares, (ii) to authorize the Series B Conversion so that of each Series B Preferred Share is convertible into nine (9) Ordinary Shares, (iii) to authorize the Series C Conversion so that of each Series C Preferred Share is convertible into nine (9) Ordinary Shares, (iv) to authorize the Series D Conversion so that of each Series D Preferred Share is convertible into two-hundred and twenty-five (225) Ordinary Shares, (v) to authorize the Series E Conversion so that of each Series E Preferred Share is convertible into two-hundred and twenty-five (225) Ordinary Shares, (vi) to affect the Name Change so that the name of the Company will change from “Mainz Biomed N.V.” to “Quantum Cyber N.V.” and (vii) to increase the authorized share capital of the Company, on a post-Reverse Share Split basis, to up to 900,000,000 Ordinary Shares and up to 100,000,000 Preferred Shares. The form of the unofficial English translation of the Deed of Amendment to the Articles of Association effecting the Reverse Share Split is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement.

(i) Series A Conversion

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the amended Articles of Association will allow for the Series A Conversion. We issued 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares to David Lazar on February 13, 2026 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Series A Preferred Shares are not currently convertible into our Ordinary Shares, and in the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that we would use our best efforts to hold a shareholders’ meeting prior to April 15, 2026 at which the shareholders would vote on an amendment to our Articles of Association that would, among other matters, make each Series A Preferred Share convertible into nine Ordinary Shares. If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares would become convertible into up to 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents 71.9% of our Ordinary Shares on the date hereof and 3,119% of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding when aggregated with the Ordinary Shares underlying all of the Preferred Shares.

(ii) Series B Conversion

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the amended Articles of Association will allow for the Series B Conversion. We issued 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares to David Lazar on February 13, 2026 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Series B Preferred Shares are not currently convertible into our Ordinary Shares, and in the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that we would use our best efforts to hold a shareholders’ meeting prior to April 15, 2026 at which the shareholders would vote on an amendment to our Articles of Association that would, among other matters, make each Series B Preferred Share convertible into nine Ordinary Shares. If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares would become convertible into up to 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents 71.9% of our Ordinary Shares on the date hereof and 3,119% of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding when aggregated with the Ordinary Shares underlying all of the Preferred Shares.

(iii) Series C Conversion

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the amended Articles of Association will allow for the Series C Conversion. We issued 1,000,000 Series C Preferred Shares to David Lazar on February 13, 2026 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Series C Preferred Shares are not currently convertible into our Ordinary Shares, and in the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that we would use our best efforts to hold a shareholders’ meeting prior to April 15, 2026 at which the shareholders would vote on an amendment to our Articles of Association that would, among other matters, make each Series C Preferred Share convertible into nine Ordinary Shares. If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares would become convertible into up to 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents 71.9% of our Ordinary Shares on the date hereof and 3,119% of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding when aggregated with the Ordinary Shares underlying all of the Preferred Shares.

(iv) Series D Conversion

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the amended Articles of Association will allow for the Series D Conversion. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 1,000,000 Series D Preferred Shares to David Lazar at the Final Closing. The amendment of the Articles of Association to allow for the conversion of each Series D Preferred Share into two-hundred and twenty-five Ordinary Shares is a condition precedent to the Final Closing. In the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that we would use our best efforts to hold a shareholders’ meeting prior to April 15, 2026 at which the shareholders would vote on an amendment to our Articles of Association that would, among other matters, make each Series D Preferred Share, when issued, convertible into two-hundred and twenty-five Ordinary Shares. If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the Series D Preferred Shares would become convertible into up to 225,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents 1,798% of our Ordinary Shares on the date hereof and 3,119% of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding when aggregated with the Ordinary Shares underlying all of the Preferred Shares.

(v) Series E Conversion

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the amended Articles of Association will allow for the Series E Conversion. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 1,000,000 Series E Preferred Shares to David Lazar at the Final Closing. The amendment of the Articles of Association to allow for the conversion of each Series D Preferred Share into two-hundred and twenty-five Ordinary Shares is a condition precedent to the Final Closing. In the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that we would use our best efforts to hold a shareholders’ meeting prior to April 15, 2026 at which the shareholders would vote on an amendment to our Articles of Association that would, among other matters, make each Series D Preferred Share, when issued, convertible into two-hundred and twenty-five Ordinary Shares. If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the Series E Preferred Shares would become convertible into up to 225,000,000 Ordinary Shares, which represents 1,798% of our Ordinary Shares on the date hereof and 3,119% of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding when aggregated with the Ordinary Shares underlying all of the Preferred Shares.

(vi) Name Change

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, we will amend Articles of Association to change our name from “Mainz Biomed N.V.” to “Quantum Cyber N.V.”. Although our intention is to continue our operations for the development of in-vitro diagnostic tests for the early detection of colorectal and pancreatic cancer, we intend to explore new opportunities for one or more business segments. We believe the quantum computing industry holds exciting opportunities for growth, and based on the strengths of our director nominees in the quantum computing industry, we believe that this parallel direction for our Company will likely be in the best interests of our shareholders. To this end, our Board has decided that a name that reflects this additional focus will help with our entry into this new industry. Although we and our director nominees have discussed several opportunities in the quantum computing industry with third parties, we have not reached any formal arrangements or agreements to acquire a business or assets in the space, and we might not ever do so.

(vii) Share Capital Increase

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved and the Final Closing occurs, we may not have enough authorized Ordinary Shares to allow for the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares. To that end, the Share Capital Increase will amend our Articles of Association to increase (a) the number of Ordinary Shares that we are authorized to issue from 45,000,000 on a pre-Reverse Share Split basis to up to 900,000,000 on a post-Reverse Share Split basis and (b) the number of authorized Preferred Shares that we may issue from 5,000,000, split into 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares, 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares, 1,000,000 Series C Preferred Shares, 1,000,000 Series D Preferred Shares and 1,000,000 Series E Preferred Shares (all on a pre-Reverse Share Split Basis) to up to 100,000,000, split into 20,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares, 20,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares, 20,000,000 Series C Preferred Shares, 20,000,000 Series D Preferred Shares and 20,000,000 Series E Preferred Shares (all on a post-Reverse Share Split Basis). If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the increase in the authorized Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares will:

The increases in the authorized share capital set out in (b) and (c) above will occur when the limits described therein are equaled or exceeded without any need of further action from the Board or the Company’s shareholders.

If the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved and the Reverse Share Split occurs, the number of Ordinary Shares that will be issued on a fully diluted basis (assuming the Final Closing) as a percentage of the Ordinary Shares we are authorized to issue will range from 99.5%, if the split ratio is on the high end of the Split Ratio Range, to 26.6%, if the split ratio is on the low end of the Split Ratio Range.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Reverse Share Split Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Recommendation

The Board believes that the Additional Amendment Proposal is necessary to reach the Final Closing (as it is a condition precedent to the Final Closing) and for the future direction of the Company. To that end:

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Additional Amendment Proposal.

PROPOSAL 4

APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE SPLIT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

As set out in further detail below, you are being asked to consider the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal to amend the Articles of Association of the Company (and to authorize CMS to have the deed of amendment of articles of association executed) to affect the Reverse Share Split that will be at a ratio ranging from one for two (1:2) to one for one-hundred (1:100).

Overview

Approval of the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal would approve an amendment to the Articles of Association to provide for the Reverse Share Split that will be at a ratio that is within the Split Ratio Range, the final determination of which shall be determined by the Board. The form of the unofficial English translation attached of the Deed of Amendment to the Articles of Association effecting the Reverse Share Split is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement. Approving the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal would not immediately cause the Reverse Share Split but rather would grant authorization to our Board to effect the Reverse Share Split with a split ratio within the Split Ratio Range, if, and when determined by our Board. Although the Reverse Split Amendment would not change the number Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares that we are authorized to issue, if the Additional Amendment Proposal is approved, the Share Capital Increase would increase number Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares that we are authorized to issue. Our Board shall have sole discretion to elect, as it determines to be in the Company’s best interests, whether or not to effect the Reverse Share Splits and the exchange ratios within the Split Ratio Range, as soon as practicable.

Reverse Share Split

If the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal is approved by our shareholders and following such approval our Board determines that effecting the Reverse Share Split is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders, the Reverse Share Split would become effective upon execution of the Deed of Amendment of the Articles of Association. If the Board determines to enact the Reverse Share Split, the amended Articles of Association would state the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares to be combined into one Ordinary Share and the number of Preferred Shares to be combined into one Preferred Share (of the same series), at the ratio approved by our Board within the Split Ratio Range. The Reverse Share Split would affect the nominal value of our Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares. The nominal value of each of those securities would increase by the inverse of the Stock Split Ratio

Although we presently intend to effect the Reverse Share Split when and if necessary to maintain compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s minimum bid price requirement, our Board will have a right not to effect the Reverse Share Split, notwithstanding our shareholders’ adoption of the Reverse Share Split Proposal. Our Board may consider a variety of factors in determining whether or not to effect the Reverse Share Split and if so, the appropriate range within the Split Ratio Range, including overall trends in the stock market, recent changes and anticipated trends in the per-share market price of our Ordinary Shares, business developments and our actual and projected financial performance.

Purpose and Overview of the Reverse Share Split

Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our primary objective in effectuating the Reverse Share Split would be to attempt to raise the per-share trading price of our Ordinary Shares to continue our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain listing, The Nasdaq Capital Market requires, among other things, that our Ordinary Shares maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”. As of the date hereof, the last closing price for our Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $____ per share, and it has been below $1.00 for ____ consecutive trading days. We can regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement if the closing price for our Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market is above $1.00 per share for at least 20 consecutive trading days (or, at Nasdaq’s discretion, ten consecutive trading days).

Our Board is seeking the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal to have the authority to effectuate the Reverse Share Split as a means of increasing the share price of our Ordinary Shares above $1.00. We expect that the Reverse Share Split would increase the bid price per Ordinary Share and reduce the risk of our shares trading below $1.00 in the future, thereby satisfying or maintaining this listing requirement. However, the Reverse Share Split might not have that effect, initially or in the future, and even if we undertake it, we might not be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement or to maintain such compliance if we do. The proposed Reverse Share Split is not intended to be an anti-takeover device.

We believe that the decrease in the number of shares of our outstanding Ordinary Shares because of the Reverse Share Split, and the anticipated increase in the price per share, would possibly promote greater liquidity for our shareholders with respect to their shares. However, liquidity may be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding if the Reverse Share Split is effected, particularly if the price per share of our Ordinary Shares begins a declining trend after the Reverse Share Split is effectuated.

The Reverse Share Split might not achieve any of the desired results. The price per Ordinary Share immediately after the Reverse Share Split might not increase proportionately with the Reverse Share Split, and any increase might not be sustained for any period of time. Although we believe the Reverse Share Split is the most likely way to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, the Reverse Share Split cannot guarantee we would be in compliance with the market capitalization, net worth or shareholders’ equity or other criteria that are or maybe required to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

If our Ordinary Shares were delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, we believe that the trading of our Ordinary Shares would thereafter be conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets.” If that occurs, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our Ordinary Shares. To relist the Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we would be required to meet the initial listing requirements for either The Nasdaq Capital Market, which are more stringent than the maintenance requirements.

If our Ordinary Shares were delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market and the price of our Ordinary Shares were below $5.00 at such time, such shares could come within the definition of “penny stock” as defined in the Exchange Act and would be covered by Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. That rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5 million or individuals with net worth in excess of $1 million or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. These additional sales practice restrictions would make trading in our Ordinary Shares more difficult and the market less efficient.

In evaluating whether to seek authorization to enact the Reverse Share Split Proposal, our Board took into consideration negative factors associated with reverse share splits. These factors include: (i) the negative perception of reverse share splits that investors, analysts and other stock market participants may hold; (ii) the fact that the stock prices of some companies that have effected reverse share splits have subsequently declined, sometimes significantly, following their reverse share splits; (iii) the Company’s previous experience of effectuating a reverse share split; (iv) the possible adverse effect on liquidity that a reduced number of outstanding shares could cause; and (v) the costs associated with implementing a reverse share split.

Even if our shareholders approve the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal, our Board reserves the right not to effect the Reverse Share Split if in our Board’s opinion it would not be in the best interests of the Company or our shareholders to effect the Reverse Share Split.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Share Split

We cannot predict whether the Reverse Share Split, if completed, will increase the market price for our Ordinary Shares. The history of similar share split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There is no assurance that:

If the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal and the Additional Amendment Proposal are approved and the Reverse Share Split is undertaken, the Reverse Share Split would occur at the same time as the Share Capital Increase. Therefore, the number of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares that are authorized and unissued will increase relative to prior to the Reverse Share Split. The Board may authorize the issuance of the remaining authorized and unissued shares without further shareholder action for a variety of purposes. The issuance of additional shares would be dilutive to our existing shareholders and may cause a decline in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. The issuance of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares could be used to deter a potential takeover of us that may otherwise be beneficial to shareholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote in accordance with the Board’s desires. A takeover may be beneficial to independent shareholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such shareholders a premium for their shares compared to the then-existing market price. We do not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares is based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the Reverse Share Split is effected and the market price of our Ordinary Shares declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Share Split.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Share Split on Our Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares; No Fractional Shares

If the Reverse Share Split were enacted, the principal effect of the Reverse Share Split would be to reduce the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, depending on the Split Ratio Range set forth in the Reverse Share Split Amendment, from (i) ______________ Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date to between __________ shares and ___________ Ordinary Shares, (ii) 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date to between 500,000 Series A Preferred Shares and 10,000 Series A Preferred Shares, (iii) 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date to between 500,000 Series B Preferred Shares and 10,000 Series B Preferred Shares and (iv) 1,000,000 Series C Preferred Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date to between 500,000 Series C Preferred Shares and 10,000 Series C Preferred Shares. If the Reverse Share Split is effectuated, the total number of our Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares each shareholder holds would be reclassified automatically into a number of respective shares equal to the number of Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares each shareholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Share Split divided by the ratio approved by the Board within the Split Ratio Range and set forth in the applicable amendment.

If the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal and the Additional Amendment Proposal are approved and the Reverse Share Split is undertaken, the Reverse Share Split would occur at the same time as the Share Capital Increase. Therefore, the number of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shaers that are authorized and unissued will increase relative to prior to the Reverse Share Split. Apart from the sale of the Series D Preferred Shares and the Series E Preferred Shares, we have no commitment, arrangement, or agreement regarding the issuance of Ordinary Shares, Preferred Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares subsequent to this proposed increase in the number of authorized shares at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose (other than the potential conversion of the Preferred Shares). However, we have in the past conducted certain public and private offerings of our securities, and we will continue to require additional capital in the near future to fund our operations. We may also seek to acquire additional operations or assets, and to do so we would likely need to issue securities in connection with such acquisition. As a result, it is foreseeable that we will seek to issue such additional Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares in connection with any such capital raising activities, or any of the other activities described above.

The Reverse Share Split would affect all of our shareholders uniformly and would not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests, except to the extent that the Reverse Share Split results in such shareholder owning a fractional share, which shall equal one whole share.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Share Split on Outstanding Options

As of the Record Date, we had ___________ options outstanding, which may be exercised into _________ Ordinary Shares upon vesting. If the Reverse Share Split becomes effective, the number of Ordinary Shares into which they may be exercised would be divided by the number of Ordinary Shares being combined into Ordinary Share in the Reverse Share Split. The number of shares reserved under our 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan would decrease by the ratio approved by the Board within the Split Ratio Range.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Share Split would affect the nominal value of our Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares. The nominal value of each of those securities would increase by the inverse of the Stock Split Ratio. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Share Split, if enacted, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Ordinary Shares and Preferred would remain the same for any issues and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares.

The per-share net income or loss and net book value of our Ordinary Shares would be increased because there would be fewer shares of our Ordinary Shares outstanding]

Beneficial Holders of Our Ordinary Shares (Shareholders Who Hold in “Street Name”)

Upon the Reverse Share Split, we intend to treat shares held by shareholders in “street name,” through a broker, in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Brokers would be instructed to effect the Reverse Share Split for their beneficial holders holding our Ordinary Shares in “street name.” However, brokers may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Share Split and making payment for fractional shares. Shareholders holding Ordinary Shares with a broker and having any questions in this regard should contact their broker.

Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Our Ordinary Shares

If a shareholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with the transfer agent, no action needs to be taken to receive post-Reverse Share Split shares or cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable. If such a shareholder is entitled to post-Reverse Share Split shares, a transaction statement would automatically be sent to such shareholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of our Ordinary Shares held following the Reverse Share Split.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Dutch law, our shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal in connection with the implementation of the Reverse Share Split, and we will not independently provide our shareholders with any such rights.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Share Split

The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Share Split to holders of our Ordinary Shares.

For purposes of this summary a ”non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is not a “U.S. holder.” A “U.S. holder” is any of the following:

This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular shareholder, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by shareholders. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to (i) persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, (ii) persons that hold our Ordinary Shares as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,” “conversion” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or (iii) persons that do not hold our Ordinary Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment).

This summary is based on the provisions of the Code (as defined above), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Share Split.

EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SHARE SPLIT.

If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

Partnerships that hold our Ordinary Shares, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Share Split.

U.S. Holders

The Reverse Share Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, except as described below with respect to cash in lieu of fractional shares, no gain or loss will be recognized upon the Reverse Share Split. In addition, the aggregate tax basis in the Ordinary Shares received pursuant to the Reverse Share Split should equal the aggregate tax basis in the Ordinary Shares surrendered (excluding the portion of the tax basis that is allocable to any fractional share), and the holding period for the Ordinary Shares received should include the holding period for the Ordinary Shares surrendered.

A U.S. holder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional Ordinary Share in the Reverse Share Split generally will be treated as having received such fractional share and then as having received such cash in redemption of such fractional share interest. A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the basis of the pre-Reverse Share Split Ordinary Shares allocable to such fractional interest. Such gain or loss generally will constitute capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in our Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Reverse Share Split was greater than one year as of the date of the exchange.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional Ordinary Share pursuant to the Reverse Share Split in the case of certain U.S. holders. In addition, U.S. holders may be subject to a backup withholding tax at the rate specified in the Code on the payment of such cash if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers in the manner required or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against the U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Generally, non-U.S. holders will not recognize any gain or loss upon completion of the Reverse Share Split. In particular, gain or loss will not be recognized with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share provided that (a) such gain or loss is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (or, if certain income tax treaties apply, is not attributable to a non-U.S. holder’s permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States), (b) with respect to non-U.S. holders who are individuals, such non-U.S. holders are present in the United States for less than 183 days in the taxable year of the Reverse Share Split and other conditions are met, and (c) such non-U.S. holders comply with certain certification requirements.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax

In general, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to payments of cash in lieu of a fractional Ordinary Share to a non-U.S. holder pursuant to the Reverse Share Split if the non-U.S. holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder and the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge to the contrary. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against the non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In certain circumstances the amount of cash paid to a non-U.S. holder in lieu of a fractional share of our Ordinary Shares, the name and address of the beneficial owner and the amount, if any, of tax withheld may be reported to the IRS.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

THE DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT PROPOSALS

(PROPOSAL 5 THROUGH PROPOSAL 8)

Nominees

There are four (4) nominees recommended by the Nomination Committee of the Board (the “Nomination Committee”) for election this year to hold office until the Company’s annual general meeting of shareholders’ to be held in 2027 and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. Our Board has nominated: (i) David Natan, (ii) Robert Liscouski, (iii) Avraham Ben-Tzvi and (v) David Lazar, and our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. Their biographies are provided herein. The biographies of each of the nominees contain information regarding the person’s service as a director, business experience, public-company director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years, information regarding involvement in certain legal or administrative proceedings, if applicable, and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the Nomination Committee and the Board to determine that the person should serve as a director for the Company. In addition to the information presented above regarding each nominee’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director, we also believe that all of our director nominees have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. They each have demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment to service to the Company and our Board. Finally, we value their significant experience on other public company boards of directors and board committees.

Each nominee’s beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares, on a current basis and if the Proposals are approved and the Second Closing occurs, is set out in the Section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”. Although we have discussed with the nominees issuances of awards under the Plans in exchange for services to be provided as directors or advisors to the Company, any such final decision will be deferred until after the Shareholders’ Meeting.

A nominee will be elected as a director if he or she receives a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Shareholders’ Meeting. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them “FOR” each of the nominees named above. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by our Board.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of all of these nominees.

The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of the Board. The Board believes that good corporate governance is a critical factor in achieving business success and in fulfilling the Board’s responsibilities to the Company’s shareholders.

Board Composition/Election

Our Board presently consists of six (6) directors whose terms expire at the close of the annual general meeting to be held in 2027 Our directors are elected annually. All of our current directors, except for David Lazar, have indicated that they will resign (the “Current Director Resignations”) if the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved. Upon the approval of the Director Appointments and upon the Current Director Resignations, we will have four (4) members on the Board, which size may be increased at the discretion of the Board.

As discussed in more detail later in this section, the Board has determined that three (3) of the four (4) individuals who will be directors if all of the Director Appointment Proposals are approved and if the Current Director Resignations occur will be independent under the rules of Nasdaq.

Board Meetings

During fiscal year 2025, the Board meet in person or via video or teleconference approximately twelve times and acted by unanimous written consent approximately six times.

Selection of Nominees for The Board of Directors

The Nomination Committee considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members and other Board members, as well as management and shareholders. The Nomination Committee’s charter provides that it may retain a third-party search firm to identify candidates from time to time. Our Board seeks members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for integrity. Directors should have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility, be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated and are selected based upon contributions they can make to the Board and management. The Nomination Committee’s assessment of a proposed candidate may include a review of the person’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries, the interplay of his or her experience with the experience of other Board members, his or her ability to contribute to the effective management of the Company, the extent to which he or she would be a desirable addition to the Board and any of its committees, and such other more specific factors that the Nomination Committee determines are relevant in light of the needs of the Board. The Nomination Committee believes that its nominees should reflect a diversity of experience and age. The Board does not have a specific policy regarding director diversity. The Nomination Committee also considers such other relevant factors as it deems appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of management and independent directors, and the evaluations of other prospective nominees, if any.

In connection with this evaluation, it is expected that each member of the Nomination Committee will interview the prospective nominee before the prospective nominee is presented to the full Board for consideration. After completing this evaluation and interview process, the Nomination Committee will make a recommendation to the full Board as to the person(s) who should be nominated by the Board, and the Board determines the nominee(s) after considering the recommendation and report of the Nomination Committee. We look for director candidates who have the skills and experience necessary to help us achieve success within our industry.

We believe that each of our directors has the necessary qualifications to be a value-added member of our Board. As noted in the director biographies, our directors have experience, qualifications and skills across a wide range of public and private companies, possessing a broad spectrum of experience both individually and collectively.

Except as described in the Proposal 8 (the Nasdaq Compliance Proposal) of this Proxy Statement, there are no arrangements or understanding between any of the directors or the director nominee or officers of our Company or any other person pursuant to which any officer or director or director nominee was or is to be selected as an officer or director or director nominee.

Nominees for Director

The Board nominated David Natan, Robert Liscouski, Avraham Ben-Tzvi and David Lazar to stand for election for four (4) Board seats. David Lazar and Robert Liscouski are currently non-executive directors, and each such other individual has consented to serve if elected.

If elected, we expect that all of the aforementioned nominees will serve as directors and hold office until the annual general meeting to be held in 2027 and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or until their death, retirement or resignation. If the four nominees are elected, (i) each of the Company’s current directors, excluding David Lazar, has indicated his intention to resign as a director of the Company and (ii) the executive officers of the Company, including Guido Baechler and William Caragol, have indicated that they will resign from their positions (as set out in the Settlement Agreements). The Company anticipates that if the current Chief Executive Officer resigns, David Lazar will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer. All of the other director nominees would be non-executive directors if appointed.

No Shareholder Nominations

There is no procedure under Dutch law by which a shareholder can nominate a director for appointment at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Ethical Guidelines

Mainz Biomed N.V.’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“Code of Ethics”) was adopted on October 26, 2021 to emphasize the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of business conduct. The Code of Ethics applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Ethics is available on our corporate website at https://mainzbiomed.com/. The Code of Ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics requires compliance with applicable law, discusses how conflicts of interest are handled, requires familiarity with the Company’s disclosure requirements and provides for waivers under certain circumstances.

Director Independence

Our Board is composed of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on the information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that, if elected, David Natan, Robert Liscouski and Avraham Ben-Tzvi will be independent directors of the Company.

Board Committees

The Board has established three standing committees: (i) Audit Committee; (ii) Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”); and (iii) Nomination Committee. Each of the committees operates pursuant to its charter. The responsibilities of each committee are described in more detail below.

Audit Committee.

We appointed to our Audit Committee three non-executive directors, Gregory Tibbitts, Hans Hekland and Heiner Dreismann, that satisfy the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Gregory Tibbits is the Chair of the Audit Committee and is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC rules and possesses financial sophistication within the meaning of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

If the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved, each member of this committee has indicated his intention to resign and we will need to appoint new members to the committee. We intend to appoint at least three members to the committee in compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, and we do not intend to appoint any member who does not meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules or the standards under the Exchange Act.

If the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved, we anticipate that David Natan, Robert Liscouski and Avraham Ben-Tzvi will be appointed to the Audit Committee. We believe that each of those director nominees possesses the financial sophistication required for audit committee members under Nasdaq rules and that the composition of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence under current Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. Our board of directors has determined that David Natan would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

Compensation Committee.

Our Compensation Committee currently consists of three non-executive directors, Dr. Heiner Dreismann, Hans Hekland, and Gregory Tibbitts, that satisfy the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Dr. Heiner Dreismann is the Chair of the Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. No officer may be present at any committee meeting during which such officer’s compensation is deliberated upon. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

If the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved, each member of this committee has indicated his intention to resign and we will need to appoint new members to the committee. We intend to appoint at least three members to the committee in compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, and we do not intend to appoint any member who does not meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules or the standards under the Exchange Act. If the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved, we anticipate that David Natan, Robert Liscouski and Avraham Ben-Tzvi will be appointed to the Compensation Committee.

Nomination Committee.

Our Nomination Committee currently consists of three non-executive directors, Gregory Tibbitts, Dr. Heiner Dreismann and Hans Hekland, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and meet the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Mr. Hekland is the Chair of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The Nominating Committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.

If the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved, each member of this committee has indicated his intention to resign and we will need to appoint new members to the committee. We intend to appoint at least three members to the committee in compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements, and we do not intend to appoint any member who does not meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules or the standards under the Exchange Act. If the Director Appointment Proposals are all approved, we anticipate that David Natan, Robert Liscouski and Avraham Ben-Tzvi will be appointed to the Nomination Committee.

Insider Trading Policy

On January 18, 2023, our Board of Directors adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by directors, senior management, and certain employees (the “Insiders”) that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. Among other matters, this policy sets out that, with limited exceptions:

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee establishes, and reevaluates if it deems necessary or prudent in its discretion, the cash and equity awards (amount and manner or method of payment) to be made to non-executive directors for such fiscal year. In making this determination, the Compensation Committee may utilize such market standard metrics as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, an analysis of cash compensation paid to our peer group’s independent directors.

Settlement Agreements

The Settlement Agreements provide that upon the Final Closing, (i) the applicable director or officer shall generally release us from any claims, actions, or losses that such person may have against us and (ii) we shall similarly release such officer or director from any claims, action or losses that we may have against such person, provided that we remain obligated pursuant to maintain D&O insurance coverage, or a D&O tail policy, a that we make a payment to such person for any and all accrued and unpaid salary, Board approved bonuses, twelve months healthcare continuation and such person’s contractual severance payment. If the Final Closing occurs (and the approval of the Proposals is a condition precedent to the Final Closing), the payments that we will need to make in connection with the Settlement Agreements are approximately $965,000 to our Chief Executive Officer, $776,000 to our Chief Financial Officer, $60,000 to one of our directors and $40,000 to each of two of our directors.

Share Option Plans and Stock Options

We have adopted our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, our 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, and our 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plans”). Under the Plans, we are authorized to issue equity incentives in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights, performance units or performance shares under separate award agreements. Under the Plans, the aggregate number of shares underlying awards that we can issue cannot exceed 1,467,021 ordinary shares, of which we have issued 1,449,480, including 1,000,000 ordinary shares issued to employees and directors in February 2026.

Pension Benefits

We do not have any defined benefit pension plans or any other plans requiring us to make retirement payments or pay comparable benefits.

Bonuses

Since the end of our 2025 fiscal year, our Board has approved bonuses valued at $544,000 to our executive officers and directors. These bonuses will be paid in connection with the payments to be made pursuant to the Settlement Agreements.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information, as of March __, 2026, with respect to the holdings of (1) each of our directors, (2) each executive officer, (3) our director nominees and (4) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group. No person not included above beneficially owns 5% or more of our Ordinary Shares.

Beneficial ownership of a class of voting stock is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes any shares of such class of the Company’s voting stock over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or of which a person has a right to acquire ownership at any time within 60 days. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting stock held by them. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on (i) 12,515,336 ordinary shares issued and outstanding on March __, 2026, and (ii) the number of shares anticipated to be outstanding following the Final Closing (which is contingent upon the approval of the Proposals herein) plus, for each individual, any Ordinary Shares that individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of March __, 2026.

To the best of our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of our Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such person, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. To our knowledge, none of the shares listed below are held under a voting trust or similar agreement, except as noted. To our knowledge, there is no arrangement, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares (“Ten Percent Holders”) to file with the SEC reports of their share ownership and changes in their share ownership of our Ordinary Shares. Directors, executive officers and Ten Percent Holders are also required to furnish us with copies of all ownership reports they file with the SEC. We only became subject to Section 16(a) on January 1, 2026 when we ceased to be a Foreign Private Issuer, as defined under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, the following directors, executive officers and Ten Percent Holders did not comply with all Section 16(a) filing requirements as of Record Date as follows:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Except as disclosed herein and regular salary and bonus payments made to our directors and officers in the ordinary course of business as described in the section “Executive Compensation,”, no director, executive officer or shareholder holding at least 5% of Ordinary Shares, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years.

Related Party Transactions

Apart from the employment agreements, the Settlement Agreements and the Purchase Agreement described elsewhere in this proxy statement, we have not entered into any material transactions with our directors, officers, promoters and shareholders or who beneficially own more than 10% of our ordinary shares (or their immediate family members).

VOTE REQUIRED

For the approval of each Director Appointment Proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required.

PROPOSAL 9

THE INCENTIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

You are being asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

On June 2, 2025, our shareholders approved, and we enacted, the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, pursuant to which the maximum aggregate number of Shares that could initially be issued under the Plan was 500,000 Ordinary Shares, which amount is automatically increased at the start of each fiscal quarter to an amount that equals 15% of the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (or such lesser amount determined by the Board), assuming the conversion of any outstanding shares of preferred stock (the “Share Limit”). Under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, we are authorized to issue equity incentives in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights, performance units or performance shares under separate award agreements. The Share Limit is currently 1,467,021 Ordinary Shares, of which 1,449,480 have been issued.

On _______, 2026, the Board approved an amendment to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The sole change of the amendment is to increase the Shares Limit from its current amount of 1,467,021 Ordinary Shares to 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares. No other changes are to be made to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, including the provision regarding the automatic increase of the Share Limit at the start of each fiscal quarter (unless a lesser amount is determined by the Board).

The increase in the Share Limit would have a dilutive effect on your economic and voting positions if the Ordinary Shares thereunder are issued. The number of shares that may be issued under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan as a percentage of our issued and outstanding shares as of the date hereof is approximately 1.4%, and such percentage would increase to 68.2% following the amendment. As already set out in the plan and as unaffected by the proposed amendment, following the start of the first quarter after the Final Closing, if it occurs, the Share Limit would become 15% of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares, or approximately 71,735,000 Ordinary Shares (unless the Board determines that such increase at the start of the fiscal quarter should be a lesser amount).

The Board believes that approving the amendment to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan is in the best interests of the shareholders. Each of the Compensation Committee and the Board has approved the proposed amendment to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan and recommends that the Company’s stockholders adopt and approve the proposed amendment to provide the Company with the continued ability to grant a variety of equity awards to help attract, motivate and retain officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. If the stockholders approve the amendment to the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the amendment will be effective as of the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting.

Our Plans

Our Plans outstanding as of _____________, 2026 were our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, our 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, and our 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Under the Plans, the aggregate number of shares underlying awards that we can issue cannot exceed 1,467,021 ordinary shares, of which we have issued 1,449,480, including 1,000,000 ordinary shares issued to employees and directors in February 2026.

We have not granted any restricted share units, share appreciation rights, performance units or performance shares under the Plans.

Equity Overhang

In fiscal years 2025, 2014, and 2023, our end of year equity overhang rates for the Plans were 12%, 3% and 15%, respectively (calculated by dividing (1) the number of shares subject to equity awards outstanding at the end of the applicable fiscal year plus the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Plans at the end of such fiscal year by (2) the number of our shares outstanding at the end of such fiscal year).

Three-Year Burn Rate

The following table provides information on the Company’s annual share usage:

Awards Under The Plans

Grants of equity awards under the Plans are subject to the discretion of the Board and the Compensation Committee. As of _________, 2026, the Company had made the following equity grants consisting of stock options and restricted stock under the Plans:

Reasons for Seeking Shareholder Control

The Board’s rationale for recommending the amendment of the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan to authorize in increase in the number of Ordinary Shares awardable thereunder from 1,467,021 to 10,000,000 is to allow sufficient awards to (a) better align employee and shareholder interest; and (b) recruit and retain talented employees and senior management. If this Proposal is approved and the Final Closing occurs prior to June 30, 2026, the amount of Ordinary Shares issuable under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan will increase to approximately 71,735,000 on July 1, 2026 (assuming that the Board does not elect to lower the amount of the automatic increase). The increase in the Ordinary Shares under this Proposal would allow the Company more flexibility to obtain its incentive goals prior to any automatic increase.

Additionally, the Board wants to ensure compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required prior to a 20% Issuance at a price that is less than the Minimum Price. For purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), (i) ”20% Issuance” means a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Ordinary Shares), which alone or together with sales by our officers, directors or substantial shareholders equals 20% or more of Ordinary Shares or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance, and (ii) ”Minimum Price” means a price that is the lower of: (A) the closing price (as reflected on NASDAQ.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (B) the average closing price of Ordinary Shares (as reflected on NASDAQ.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. Shareholder approval of this proposal will constitute shareholder approval for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). Although awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan may not be issued with an exercise price or per share value of less than the fair market value of our Ordinary Shares on the date such awards are granted, the fair market value thereof may be less than the Minimum Price. If approved, the number of shares that may be issued under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan as a percentage of our issued and outstanding shares as of the date hereof would be approximately 68.2%.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal.

The existence of a financial and personal interest of one or more of the Company’s directors (including the ability to be issued awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and what they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that the Company’s Shareholders vote for this proposal.

PROPOSAL 10

REMUNERATION POLICY PROPOSAL

Each of the Compensation Committee and the Board believes that appropriate remuneration of the Company’s directors plays a vital part in helping to achieve the Company’s overall objectives, and, accordingly, and in compliance with the Dutch Civil Code, we are providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on a resolution to amend our remuneration policy substantially in the form the amended and restated Remuneration Policy attached hereto as Annex F.

The directors’ remuneration policy sets out the Company’s forward-looking policy on directors’ remuneration and describes the components of the executive and non-executive directors’ remuneration. The current remuneration policy was adopted by our shareholders on November 1, 2021 and amended by our shareholders on May 28, 2025. If the amended and restated Remuneration Policy is approved, all payment by the Company to our directors will be made in accordance with the amended and restated policy, or a further shareholder-approved amendment thereto. The material proposed changes to the Remuneration Policy are:

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Remuneration Policy Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Remuneration Policy Proposal.

The existence of a financial and personal interest of one or more of the Company’s directors (including the ability to be issued awards under the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and what they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that the Company’s Shareholders vote for this proposal.

PROPOSAL 11

BOARD RESOLUTION APPROVAL PROPOSAL

 
You are being asked to approve the resolutions of the Board of Directors approving the Purchase Agreement and the related transactions thereunder including the issuance of the Preferred which will represent more than 95% of the ownership of our Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis. Pursuant to article 2:107a of the Dutch Civil Code, resolutions of the Board with regard to the matter set out above are subject to shareholder approval.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Board Resolution Approval Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. This matter is considered routine and, consequently, broker votes on this proposal will be counted in the final tabulation.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Remuneration Policy Proposal.

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and/or on Schedule 3.1(v), the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are or have been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Ordinary Shares are currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

(w) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s articles of association (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchaser as a result of the Purchaser’s and the Company’s fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchaser’s ownership of the Securities.

(x) Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any facts that would preclude it from having valid license rights or clear title to the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company has no knowledge that it lacks or will be unable to obtain any rights or licenses to use all Intellectual Property Rights that are necessary to conduct its business.

(y) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 and except for the Company securities to be issued as provided in the Transaction Documents and as part of the Contemplated Transactions, neither the Company, nor any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated under U.S. federal securities laws with prior completed offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

(z) Indebtedness. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(z) sets forth as of December 31, 2025 all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company, or for which the Company has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money owed in excess of fifty thousand U.S. dollars ($50,000) (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of fifty thousand U.S. dollars ($50,000) due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(z), as of the Effective Date the Company is not in default with respect to any Indebtedness. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is in default in respect of various obligations that are not within the definition of Indebtedness.

(aa) Tax Status.  Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and without regard to the effect of entering into and consummating the Investment and the other Contemplated Transactions, the Company (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

(bb) Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company prior to the Effective Date, has: (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in material violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

(ee) No General Solicitation or Directed Selling Efforts. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising or “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902(c) of Regulation S).

(ff) Stock Option Plans. Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s equity incentive plans was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the date such stock option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans has been backdated.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date of each Closing (unless such a representation is made as of a specific date therein, in which case, such representation shall be accurate as of that specific date):

(a) Capacity; Authority. The Purchaser is a natural person who has the right, power and legal capacity to enter into and deliver the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and otherwise to carry out his obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by him of the Contemplated Transactions have been authorized by all necessary action. Each Transaction Document to which he is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Investment Intent; Understandings or Arrangements. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities in compliance with applicable securities laws, and in the ordinary course of his business. The Purchaser further represents that he is purchasing the Securities solely for his own account (and not for the account of any other Person except as contemplated in Section 5.6) for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the Securities or any portion thereof, and, except as contemplated in Section 5.6, not with any present intention of selling, offering to sell or otherwise disposing of or distributing the Securities or any portion thereof in any transaction other than a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. Prior to the First Closing, Purchaser does not beneficially own, director or indirectly, any Ordinary Shares, Ordinary Share Equivalents or other Company securities. The Purchaser also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interest of the Securities is being purchased, and will be held, for the Purchaser’s account only (and not for the account of any other Person except as contemplated in Section 5.6), and neither in whole or in part for any other person. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities are “restricted securities” as the sale of the Securities in the Investment has not been registered under the Securities Act or under any applicable state securities law or laws of any other jurisdiction and the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available and the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities, (ii) the Securities whether held in book-entry form or certificated form will have transfer restrictions and include the legend as provided in Section 4.1; and (iii) the Company will make a notation in its records and that of its transfer agent of the aforementioned restrictions on transfer and legends. The Purchaser further acknowledges that he will have reporting and disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act as a result of his investment in the Securities, including becoming an “Insider” for purposes of the Exchange Act and will become subject to the Company’s insider trading policy.

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, he was, and as of the date hereof he is an “accredited investor” as defined in any of Rule 501 (a)(4), (a)(5), or (a)(6) under the Securities Act. In addition, if Purchaser has purchased the Securities pursuant to Regulation S, the Purchaser represents and warrants that: (i) at the time he was offered the Securities he was not, as of such date and he is not, and throughout the Closing Date for the Second Closing he will continue not to be, a “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S; (ii) he has, and will at all times have, executed all documents (including this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) outside of the United States; (iii) he was outside of the United States when offered the Securities and will be outside of the United States when initiating any Closing and on any Closing Date; and (iv) the Purchaser is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any “U.S. Person” as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S. The Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser is not an “underwriter,” “distributor” or a “dealer” (each as defined in the Securities Act). Purchaser is presently a citizen of Israel and the E.U., a bona fide resident of the Republic of Panama, and has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state, country or jurisdiction.

(d) General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertising. In addition, the Purchaser has not engaged, nor is he aware that any party has engaged, will not engage nor cause any third party to engage in, and is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Rule 902(c) of Regulation S) in the United States.

(e) Experience of Purchaser. The Purchaser, either by reason of his extensive business and finance experience alone or together with the experience of the Purchaser’s professional advisors and representatives (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any of its Affiliates), has the requisite knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Investment in the Securities and to protect the Purchaser’s own interests in connection with the Investment and the other Contemplated Transactions, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such Investment and the other Contemplated Transactions. The Purchaser realizes that the purchase of the Securities will be a highly speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk, and the Purchaser is able to bear, without impairing his financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer the economic risk of the Investment in the Securities and is able to afford a complete loss of such Investment without impairing his financial condition.

(f) Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as he has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable him to evaluate the Investment, including information about the Company’s remaining assets; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Investment. The Purchaser understands that no U.S. or non-U.S. securities regulator or other authority has made any determination or finding relating to the merits or fairness of an investment in the Securities. In making its investment decision, the Purchaser has relied upon its review of the SEC Reports and other Company filings with the Commission and other documents and not any representation, oral or written, by the Company’s officers or directors.

(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company since January 1, 2026 and will not at any time while the Purchaser is the owner of Preferred Shares. Other than to the parties to this Agreement, or to the Purchaser’s and/or a transferee’s (as contemplated by Section 5.6) representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser and/or transferee has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to him in connection with the Investment and the other Contemplated Transactions (including the existence and terms of this transaction) in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement entered into on January 11, 2026 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(h) Director Independence. A sufficient number of the Purchaser Nominees recommended by the Purchaser shall satisfy the criteria of “independence” under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and applicable securities laws, so that the Company shall continue to be in compliance with such rules, regulations and laws following the appointment of the Purchaser Nominees.

(i) Purchaser Jurisdiction. The Purchaser has satisfied the full observance of the laws of the jurisdiction to which he is subject in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities, including (i) the legal requirements within the Purchaser’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. The Purchaser’s purchase and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction of citizenship, residency or domicile.

(j) Financial Sufficiency. The Purchaser shall at all times as of and after the Effective Date have sufficient cash on hand or other sources of immediately available funds (the “Purchaser Available Funds”) to enable him to timely fulfill and/or satisfy his payment and other financial obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including payment of the remaining Purchase Price at the Second Closing, his indemnification obligations. All of the Purchaser Available Funds shall not at any time be subject to any Lien. Purchaser represents that his assets comprising the Purchaser Available Funds, wherever located, whether in the U.S. or outside of the U.S., shall be available to satisfy his obligations under this Agreement regardless of where such assets are located and/or due to the Purchaser’s residency in the Republic of Panama or elsewhere.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

4.13 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the subsections of this Section 4.13, the Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser and his agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed within twenty (20) days after notice from the Purchaser Party to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.13 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the Company does not have assets sufficient to compensate Purchaser for any breach or default by the Company hereunder or for any indemnification obligation hereunder, and the recourse of the Purchaser hereunder is accordingly limited.

4.14 Reservation and Listing of Securities.

(a) Except to the extent limited by the Company’s authorized Ordinary Shares, the Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized Ordinary Shares for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

(c) The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are listed, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of Ordinary Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application to the extent permitted by the Trading Market, (ii) use its best efforts to cause such Ordinary Shares to be listed on such Trading Market which the Ordinary Shares are then listed as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of such Ordinary Shares on such Trading Market. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

The Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (and correspondingly any transferee(s)’ reps and warranties, as applicable) shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for the period of the applicable statute of limitations.

5.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic signing crated on an electronic platform (such as DocuSign), such signature shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document, and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in his sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, such notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to his future actions and rights.

5.13 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

5.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that either party makes a payment or payments to the other party pursuant to any Transaction Document or either party enforces or exercises it or his rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to such party, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.16 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

5.17 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken, or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.18 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the Effective Date. Unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise, each definition applies (a) for purposes of this entire Agreement, and (b) to both the singular and plural forms (and other grammatical variations) of the defined term. Unless the context indicates otherwise, each pronoun shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms. The terms “including”, “includes”, “include”, and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation” or “but not limited to”. Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The words describing the singular number will include the plural and vice versa. All references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America.

5.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

DEED OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

(In connection with the Reverse Split Amendment Proposal)

This document is an unofficial English translation of a document prepared in Dutch. In preparing this document, an attempt has been made to translate as literally as possible without jeopardising the overall continuity of the text, except that, for convenience, the definitions set out in article 1.1 of the articles of association contained in this document have been placed in the English alphabetical order. Inevitably, however, differences may occur in translation and if they do, the Dutch text will govern by law. In this translation, Dutch legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original Dutch terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to concepts described by the English terms as such terms may be understood under the laws of other jurisdictions.
