Announces the Cancellation and Re-grant of Options to The
Chairman
of the Board
Notice
to Shareholders of XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (the "
Company
")
The
Company hereby notifies holders that the Board of Directors have resolved
to
cancel the 9,250,000 options granted to Michael Weiss, Chairman of the
Board of
the Company (the “
Grantee
”),
which
were approved at the shareholders meeting on August 1, 2005 and which have
an
exercise price of $0.354 per share (the “
Original
Options
”),
and
to grant to the Grantee 9,250,000 options on the
exact
same
remaining terms and conditions of the Original Options (including the remainder
of the exercise period of the Original Options), except with an exercise
price
which is higher and is equal to $0.36 (the “
New
Options
”).
The
exercise price for the New Options, as approved by the Board, is higher
by
1.667% than the exercise price under the Original Options and higher by
54.5%
than the market price of the shares on Nasdaq on the date hereof ($0.233),
therefore creating a benefit to the Company. In the event that all such
New
Options would be exercised (if and when vested), the Company would receive
an
additional amount of US$55,500 compared to the amount it would receive
upon the
exercise of the Original Options (if and when vested). This action is being
taken to ensure that the options grant is in compliance with section 409a
of the
US tax code.
The
Audit
Committee had, prior to the Board meeting, approved the grant of the New
Options
and recommended to the Board to approve such grant. The Audit Committee
and the
Board have resolved for the purpose of Subsection 1(2) of the Israeli Companies
Regulations (Relief for Transactions with Interested Parties), 2000, (the
"
Relief Regulations
"),
the
grant of the New Options only benefits the Company. In accordance with
Subsection 1C of the Relief Regulations, any shareholder(s) of the Company
who
holds at least 1% of the Company's outstanding share capital may object
to the
cancellation of the Original Options and the grant of the New Options provided
that the objection shall be submitted to the Company in writing not later
than
fourteen (14) days from the date this report is filed on MAGNA.
