to receive dividends if declared.
On

Under the share repurchase program, as extended, the Company is authorized to continue to repurchase up to $325
each quarter. In connection with our convertible notes offering in December 2025, the Board of Directors authorized to repurchase an additional
$100 million

trading volume and other factors and will be funded from available working capital.
As

During 2025, 2024 and 2023 the Company repurchased 6,848,579,

Under
the Equity Incentive Plans, the Company may grant options to employees, officers and directors at an exercise price equal to at least
the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the date of grant and are granted for periods not to exceed seven years. The Company grants
under the Equity Incentive Plans options, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance stock units (“PSUs”)
and can also grant a variety of other equity incentives. Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plans generally vest over a period
of four
years of employment. Options, RSUs and PSUs that are cancelled or forfeited before expiration become available for future
grants. RSUs generally vest over a four years period of employment from the grant date while PSUs generally vest over a two to four years
period of employment from the grant date. PSUs are subject to certain performance criteria; accordingly, compensation expense is recognized
for such awards when it becomes probable that the related performance condition will be satisfied.

however, that in no event shall the number of Reserved and Authorized Shares be less than the number of ordinary shares reserved and authorized
under the Equity Incentive Plans for outstanding awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plans as of such date).
The
number of “Reserved and Authorized Shares” under the Equity Plans shall equal the sum of (i) the number of ordinary shares
reserved and authorized under the Equity Incentive Plans for outstanding options, RSUs, PSUs and other awards granted under the Equity
Incentive Plans as of such date, and (ii) the number of ordinary shares reserved, authorized and available for issuance under the
