The Company is currently unaware of any other matters that may be raised at the Annual Meeting. Should any other matters be properly raised at the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies shall vote according to their own judgment on those matters.
Eligible shareholders may present proposals for consideration at the Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company no later than October 28, 2026.
Shareholders Entitled to Vote
Only shareholders and ADS holders of record at the close of business on October 26, 2026 (the “Record Date”), shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company expects to have 40,252,989 outstanding Ordinary Shares, each of which is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.
How You Can Vote
Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in “street name”) will receive from BNY Mellon (which acts as the Depositary for the ADSs) a voting instruction form in order to instruct their banks, brokers or other nominees on how to vote. For ADSs that are held in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for BNY Mellon to vote the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder’s voting instructions. ADS holders should return their BNY Mellon voting instruction form by no later than the date and time set forth on such voting instruction form. Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement among the Company, BNY Mellon, as Depositary, and the holders of the Company’s ADSs, the Depositary shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable and in accordance with the applicable law and the articles of association of the Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from any holder of ADSs with respect to any of the Ordinary Shares represented by the ADSs evidenced by such holder’s receipts on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, then the Depositary will deem the holder of the Ordinary Shares to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to the Ordinary Shares represented by such ADSs, and the Depositary will give such instruction to the Company if it will receive from the Company a written confirmation that (i) the Company wishes a proxy to be given for Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs for which no instruction was provided, (ii) the Company reasonably does not know of any substantial opposition to the matter, and (iii) the matter is not materially adverse to the interests of shareholders. A holder of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in “street name”) who has executed and returned a voting instruction form may revoke its voting instructions at any time before the applicable deadline by filing with BNY Mellon a written notice of revocation or a duly executed voting instruction form bearing a later date. If your ADSs are held in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
A shareholder whose Ordinary Shares are registered with a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) member as of the Record Date may vote at the Annual Meeting (i) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, upon presenting an ownership certificate, as of the Record Date, from the applicable TASE member through which the Ordinary Shares are held, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting) of 5760-2000, as amended (an “Ownership Certificate”); (ii) by proxy, by sending the duly executed proxy together with the Ownership Certificate to the Company at its registered offices at the address provided above, to be received by the Company no later than November 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Israel time. An Ownership Certificate may be obtained, upon request, at the TASE member’s offices or may be sent to the shareholder by mail (subject to payment of the cost of mailing), at the election of the shareholder, provided that the shareholder’s request is submitted with respect to a specific securities account; and (iii) by voting electronically via the Electronic Voting System of the Israel Securities Authority, after receiving a personal identifying number, an access code, and additional information regarding the Annual Meeting from the relevant member of the TASE and after carrying out a secure identification process, up to six hours before the time set for the Annual Meeting.

At our 2023 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved the compensation package of Mr. Levy, including a grant of 320,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company, at an exercise price based on the closing price of the Company on the last trading day prior to the date of the shareholders meeting, namely March 19, 2023, subject to standard terms of our Amended and Restated 2019 Share Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and compliance with all applicable laws. This grant is subject to our standard 4 year vesting period, with acceleration in the event of a change of control. At our 2024 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved a grant to Mr. Levy of equity consisting of (i) 125,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (at an exercise price equal to NIS 11.17 per share, being the closing price of our Ordinary Shares on the TASE on March 4, 2024 which was the last trading day before our Board of Directors approved such grant); and (ii) 62,500 RSUs. These grants are subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on the date falling 12 months following the March 5, 2024 vesting commencement date, and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the four-year period, provided, in each case that Mr. Levy continues to be employed by us at the time of each such scheduled vesting date. At our 2025 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved an increase in the monthly salary of Mr. Levy from NIS 85,000 to NIS 100,000 (NIS 1,200,000 on an annual basis), commencing May 1, 2025 and a grant to Mr. Levy of equity consisting of: (i) Grant A – 50,000 RSUs that began vesting as of March 9, 2025 (the “2025 Grant Vesting Commencement Date”), over a four year period, vesting in four equal portions on each of the subsequent four anniversaries of the 2025 Grant Vesting Commencement Date (each, an “Anniversary”), as follows: 25% shall be vested on the first Anniversary; 25% shall be vested on the second Anniversary; 25% shall be vested on the third Anniversary; and 25% shall be vested on the fourth Anniversary (together, the “2025 Grant Vesting Schedule”), provided, in each case, that Mr. Levy continues to be employed by the Company at the time of each such scheduled vesting date, and provided that on each Anniversary, the RSUs shall only vest if the price per each ADS of the Company on the relevant Anniversary shall not be lower than $8.00 (adjusted to $4.00 upon the change in ratio of the Company’s ADSs from 2 Ordinary Shares per ADS to 1 Ordinary Share per ADS, effective March 3, 2026) (the “ADS Price Vesting Condition”). In the event the ADS Price Vesting Condition is not met on an Anniversary, the applicable portion of RSUs will not vest on such Anniversary and will instead become eligible to vest on the next Anniversary if the ADS Price Vesting Condition is met on such date. Any RSUs not vested due to a failure to satisfy the ADS Price Vesting Condition by the fourth Anniversary shall be forfeited, and (ii) Grant B – 50,000 RSUs to begin vesting as of the 2025 Grant Vesting Commencement Date over a four year period, vesting in four equal portions on each subsequent Anniversary in accordance with the 2025 Grant Vesting Schedule, provided however, that on each Anniversary, the RSUs shall only vest if: (a) the ADS Price Vesting Condition is met, and (b) the Company shall have, by July 24, 2026, completed a “Strategic Transaction.” In the event the ADS Price Vesting Condition is not met on an Anniversary or the vesting condition set forth under (b) above is not met by the first Anniversary, the applicable portion of RSUs will not vest on such Anniversary and will instead become eligible to vest on the next Anniversary if both vesting conditions set forth under (a) and (b) above are met by or on such date, as applicable. Any RSUs not vested due to a failure to satisfy the ADS Price Vesting Condition by the fourth Anniversary shall be forfeited. On March 10, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors made the determination that the Neurolief transaction constituted a “Strategic Transaction,” and the ADS Price Vesting Condition was met on the first Anniversary. For more information concerning Mr. Levy’s terms of employment, see Item 6.B of the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.

Due to Mr. Levy’s substantial contribution to the success and advancement of our Company and our business and operations since his appointment as our CEO, including his involvement in structuring and implementing our business plan and his contribution to recent strategic transactions, and in anticipation of further contribution by Mr. Levy during the upcoming years as the Company evolves and grows, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved, and recommended that our shareholders approve, a grant of RSUs as detailed below, noting that the RSU grant will increase Mr. Levy’s equity interest in the success of the Company and its results of operations.
As disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, in March 2026, at the same time certain Company-wide equity grants were formally granted to various Company employees, the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, also discussed a proposal to grant 60,000 RSUs to Mr. Levy. While the grant for Mr. Levy remained subject to shareholder approval, the Company-wide grants were subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on the date falling 12 months following the date of the Board approval (i.e. on March 10, 2027), and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the four-year period (i.e., until March 10, 2030), provided, in each case that each grantee continues to be employed by us at the time of each such scheduled vesting date.
On October 11, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors, following approval of its Compensation Committee, approved and recommended that the Company’s shareholders approve the RSU grant to Mr. Levy, and resolved that the vesting schedule will be revised from the initially contemplated schedule to the schedule detailed below. Such revised vesting schedule was approved and recommended due to the extraordinary circumstances whereby the RSU grant was originally contemplated in March 2026 (together with the aforementioned Company-wide grants), yet is expected to be approved and granted only in November 2026, therefore justifying a revised vesting schedule aimed at more closely aligning with that of the Company-wide grants. The proposed vesting schedule for Mr. Levy’s RSU grant therefore reflects a vesting period of 3.5 years beginning on the date of approval of the RSU grant by the Company’s shareholders (the “2026 Grant Vesting Commencement Date”), with 25% of the total number of RSUs vesting on the date falling six months after the 2026 Grant Vesting Commencement Date (i.e., on May 25, 2027), and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the 3.5 year period (i.e., until May 25, 2030), and provided, in each case, that Mr. Levy remains continuously as an employee or service provider of the Company or its affiliates at the time of each such scheduled vesting date. The RSU grant shall otherwise be in accordance with the 2019 Plan. According to a valuation report based on the information known as of October 2026, the aggregate fair market value of the grant is approximately $693,000. The RSU grant shall be made under the capital gain track through a trustee in accordance with Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance 1961.
The Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors determined that the proposed grant of RSUs for Mr. Levy in his capacity as CEO is reasonable considering his contribution to our strategy and operations of the Company and is not expected to materially affect the Company’s profitability, property or liabilities. Furthermore, considering the Company’s stage, size and scope of operations, as well as its financial condition and its share price, this proposal seems reasonable and in the best interest of the Company. The RSU grant to Mr. Levy is in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy.
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to approve the grant under the 2019 Plan of 60,000 RSUs to Mr. Hadar Levy, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Proxy Statement, and to determine that it is for the benefit of the Company.”
The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter presented, provided that one of the following two alternatives must apply: (i) such majority vote at the Annual Meeting shall include at least a majority of the total votes of shareholders who are not controlling shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Companies Law) and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal, participating in the voting at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, without taking abstentions into account; or (ii) the total number of votes of the non-controlling shareholders mentioned in clause (i) above that voted against such proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.
Under the Companies Law, “personal interest” means a shareholder’s personal interest in an act or a transaction of a company, including the personal interest of his or her Relatives (as defined below) or of an entity in which such shareholder or his or her relative is an Interested Party (as defined below). Personal interest excludes a personal interest arising solely from holding a company’s shares and includes a personal interest of any person voting pursuant to a proxy provided to him or her by another person with respect to the proposal, even if the person providing the proxy does not have a personal interest. The vote of a person who is voting by a proxy provided to him or her on behalf of another who has a personal interest will also be seen as a vote of a person with a personal interest, whether the discretion to vote is in the hands of the voter or not. “Relative” means a person’s spouse, brother or sister, parent, grandparent, descendant, such person’s spouse’s descendant, brother, sister or parent, or the spouse of any of the above. “Interested Party” means any person that either: (a) holds five percent (5%) or more of an entity’s issued share capital or voting rights; (b) has the right to appoint a director to an entity’s board of directors or the chief executive officer thereof; or (c) is a member of an entity’s board of directors or serves as the chief executive officer thereof. “Controlling Shareholder” means any shareholder who has the ability to direct the Company’s activity, including any shareholder holding 50% or more of the “means of control” of the Company. “Means of control” is defined under Israeli law as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer.
According to the Companies Regulations (Relief for Public Companies Traded in Stock Exchange Outside of Israel) 5760-2000, by signing and submitting the attached Proxy Card, a shareholder will be deemed to declare and approve that it, he or she is NOT a “controlling shareholder” and does NOT have a “personal interest” in the approval of Proposal 3, except if such shareholder notified us of such position or personal interest in writing in advance of the vote. If you believe that you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest in the approval of Proposal 3 and you wish to inform us of such position or personal interest, you should submit such information in advance of voting to our offices, c/o Mr. Menachem Klein, Esq., at BrainsWay Ltd., 16 Hartum Street, RAD Tower, 14th Floor, Har HaHotzvim, Jerusalem, 9777516, Israel by mail, phone (+972-2-582-4030) or email (mklein@brainsway.com).
THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION.

PROPOSAL NO. 4
GRANT OF EQUITY TO THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS
At our 2024 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved a grant to each of our directors (other than Mr. Boehm) of: (i) 25,000 options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company (at an exercise price equal to NIS 11.17 per share); and (ii) 12,500 RSUs, both subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on March 5, 2025, and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until March 5, 2028, provided, in each case that the relevant grantee continues to be a director of the Company at the time of each such vesting date.
As disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, in March, 2026, at the same time certain Company-wide equity grants were formally granted to various Company employees, the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors also discussed a proposal to grant 17,500 RSUs to each of our directors, excluding Mr. Boehm. While the proposed grants to these directors remained subject to shareholder approval, the Company-wide grants were subject to a four-year vesting period, with the first 25% vesting on the date falling 12 months following the date of the Board approval (i.e. on March 10, 2027), and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the four-year period (i.e., until March 10, 2030), provided, in each case, that each grantee continues to serve as a board member at the time of each such scheduled vesting date.
On October 11, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors, following approval of its Compensation Committee, approved and recommended that the Company’s shareholders approve the RSU grants to the Company’s directors, and resolved that the vesting schedule will be revised from the initially contemplated schedule to the schedule detailed below. Such revised vesting schedule was approved and recommended due to the extraordinary circumstances whereby the RSU grants were originally contemplated in March 2026 (together with the aforementioned Company-wide grants), yet are expected to be approved and granted only in November 2026, therefore justifying a revised vesting schedule aimed at more closely aligning with that of the Company-wide grants. The proposed vesting schedule for the directors’ RSU grants therefore reflects a vesting period of 3.5 years beginning on the 2026 Grant Vesting Commencement Date (as defined in Proposal 3), with 25% of the total number of RSUs vesting on the date falling six months after the 2026 Grant Vesting Commencement Date (i.e., on May 25, 2027), and the remaining 75% vesting in 12 equal quarterly portions until the end of the 3.5 year period (i.e., until May 25, 2030), and provided, in each case, that the relevant director continues to serve as a board member at the time of each such scheduled vesting date. The RSU grants shall otherwise be in accordance with the 2019 Plan. According to a valuation report based on the information known as of October 2026, the aggregate fair market value of the grant for each director is approximately $202,125. The RSU grants for the Israeli directors shall be made under the capital gain track through a trustee in accordance with Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance 1961.
The RSU grant proposed to each of Dr. David Zacut, Ms. Eti Mitrany, Ms. Karen Sarid, Prof. Abraham Zangen, Mr. Avner Lushi and Mr. Jonathan Shulkin is in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy.
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to approve a grant of equity in the form of 17,500 restricted share units to each of Dr. David Zacut, Ms. Eti Mitrany, Ms. Karen Sarid, Prof. Abraham Zangen, Mr. Avner Lushi and Mr. Jonathan Shulkin, each a director of the Company, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Proxy Statement, and to determine that it is for the benefit of the Company.”
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (excluding abstentions) is required to adopt the proposed resolution.
THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION.
Other than as set forth above, as of the mailing of this Proxy Statement, management knows of no business to be transacted at the Annual Meeting, but, if any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
