On February 6, 2020, Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Foamix” or the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary Meeting”), at which a quorum was present, to vote on matters related to the previously announced merger with Giants Merger Subsidiary Ltd.

A summary of the voting results for the following proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated January 7, 2020, which was first mailed to the Company’s shareholders on or about January 8, 2020, is set forth below:

As required by Israeli law, Proposal 1 was approved by shareholders holding a majority of the ordinary shares voted on such proposal who affirmatively confirmed that they were not any of (i) Menlo, (ii) Merger Sub, or (iii) (a) a person holding, directly or indirectly, either (x) 25% or more of the voting rights of Menlo or Merger Sub or (y) the right to appoint 25% or more of the directors of Menlo or Merger Sub, (b) a person or entity acting on behalf of Menlo, Merger Sub or a person described in subsection (a) above or (c) one of such person’s spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, spouse’s descendants, siblings or parents or the spouse of any such person, or a corporation controlled by any one or more of such persons or entities or by Menlo or Merger Sub.

Proposal 2.

Foamix’s shareholders approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Foamix’s named executive officers in connection with the Merger.
