PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE 2023 Annual Meeting OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 20, 2023
AT 8:00 A.M. Eastern Time

GENERAL INFORMATION

As used in this proxy statement, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to BiomX Inc. The term “Annual Meeting,” as used in this proxy statement, refers to the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and includes any adjournment or postponement of such meeting.

When are this proxy statement and the accompanying materials scheduled to be sent to stockholders?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials to our stockholders via the Internet. Accordingly, on or about May 1, 2023, we sent you a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”).

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, the proxy materials, including the Notice of 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice of Annual Meeting”), this proxy statement and proxy card or, for shares held in street name (held for your account by a broker or other nominee), voting instruction form, and our 2022 Annual Report to Stockholders (collectively, the “Proxy Materials”), are available to stockholders on the Internet. We believe electronic delivery will expedite the receipt of materials and will help lower our costs and reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting materials. Accordingly, we have sent a Notice of Internet Availability to stockholders of record and beneficial owners of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) on or about May 1, 2023.

The Notice of Internet Availability provides instructions as to how stockholders may access and review the Proxy Materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability or, alternatively, how to request that a printed set of the Proxy Materials, including a proxy card, be sent to them by mail. The Notice of Internet Availability also provides voting instructions. In addition, stockholders of record may request to receive the Proxy Materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis for future stockholder meetings. Please note that while our Proxy Materials are available at the website referenced in the Notice of Internet Availability, and our Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement and 2022 Annual Report to Stockholders are available on our website, no other information contained on either website is incorporated by reference in or considered to be a part of this proxy statement.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The meeting will be held entirely online on Tuesday, June 20, 2023 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PHGE2023. Directions to the annual meeting may be found at www.biomx.com. Information on how to vote at the virtual Annual Meeting is discussed below.

When is the record date for the Annual Meeting?

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has fixed the record date for the Annual Meeting as of the close of business on April 27, 2023 (the “Record Date”).

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, a total of 33,181,773 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Inc., our transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record, or a registered holder, with respect to those shares.

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee (in “street name”), you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares.

How do I vote by proxy before the Annual Meeting?

If your shares are held directly in your own name, and you received a Notice of Internet Availability, you may vote your shares over the internet at www.proxyvote.com. You may also vote your shares by mail or telephone by requesting a paper copy of the proxy materials, which will include a proxy card. The proxy card will contain instructions for voting by mail and telephone.

If your shares are held directly in your own name, and you received printed copies of the proxy materials, you may vote your shares by mail by completing, signing and dating the proxy card. To vote over the internet or by telephone, you should refer to your proxy card for instructions.

If your shares are held in street name, meaning registered in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you should vote your shares by following the instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee.

What shares are included on a proxy card or voting instruction form?

Each proxy card or voting instruction form represents the shares registered to you as of the close of business on the Record Date. You may receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form if you hold your shares in multiple accounts, some of your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, or some of your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank, or other nominee. Please vote the shares on each proxy card or voting instruction form to ensure that all of your shares are counted at the Annual Meeting.

What if I have shares registered in my name and don’t vote on a particular matter when returning a proxy card?

Properly signed proxy cards received before the close of voting at the Annual Meeting will be voted according to the directions provided. If a signed proxy card is returned without stockholder direction on a matter, the shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

Will my shares held in street name be voted if I don’t provide instructions?

Current NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) rules allow brokers to vote shares on certain “routine” matters for which their customers do not provide voting instructions. If you own shares in street name through a broker, bank, or other nominee, the ratification of the appointment of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) is considered a “routine” matter on which your broker may use its discretion to vote your shares without your instructions. The election of the Class III directors is not a “routine” proposal; therefore, your broker will be unable to vote your shares if you do not instruct your broker how to vote, which is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the votes on the election of the Class III directors.

How can I vote at the virtual Annual Meeting?

Stockholders of record may vote their shares electronically at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PHGE2023.

If you hold your shares in street name, you may not vote your shares at the online Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy card from your broker, bank or other nominee.

I have shares registered in my name and, in addition, have shares in a brokerage account. How do I vote these shares?

Shares that you hold in street name are not included in the total number of shares set forth on your proxy card. Your broker, bank or other nominee will send you instructions on how to vote those shares.

What are the Board’s recommendations on how to vote my shares?

The Board recommends a vote:

Proposal 1: FOR election of each of the Class III director nominees (page 6); and

Proposal 2: FOR ratification of the selection of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2023 (page 12).

Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies?

We will pay the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these Proxy Materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We will also reimburse brokers, banks, custodians, other nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding these materials to their principals to obtain the authorization for the execution of proxies.

Can I change my vote?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy by:

If your shares are held in street name, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

How is a quorum reached?

Business may not be conducted at the Annual Meeting unless a quorum is present. Under our amended and restated bylaws (“Bylaws”), the holders of one-third (1/3) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

If there are not sufficient shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum for approval of any matter to be voted upon, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxies in order to achieve a quorum. Abstentions or withheld votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

What vote is required to approve each item and how are votes counted?

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the persons appointed by the Company to act as tabulators for the meeting. The tabulators will count all votes FOR, AGAINST and to WITHHOLD, abstentions and broker non-votes, as applicable, for each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 1 — Election of two Class III directors to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders

Director nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast, which means that the director nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. Only FOR and WITHHOLD votes will affect the outcome. There are no abstentions on Proposal 1, and broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 1.

Proposal 2 — Ratification of selection of Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023

The ratification of the selection of Kesselman & Kesselman as our independent registered public accounting firm for Fiscal 2023, requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. Abstentions are entitled to vote on Proposal 2 and therefore will have the same impact as a vote against Proposal 2. There will be no broker non-votes on Proposal 2 because it is considered a “routine” matter on which your broker may use its discretion to vote your shares without your instructions.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. Should any other business come before the meeting, the persons named on the proxy will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as described above, they will not be able to vote your shares on any other business that comes before the Annual Meeting unless they receive instructions from you with respect to such matter.

What happens if the meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Your proxy may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to change your proxy until it is voted.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

When are stockholder proposals due for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

If you wish to submit proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), we must receive them on or before January 2, 2024, pursuant to the proxy soliciting regulations of the SEC. Nothing in this paragraph shall require us to include in our proxy statement and proxy card for the Annual Meeting any stockholder proposal that does not meet the requirements of the SEC in effect at the time. Any such proposal will be subject to Rule 14a-8 and 14a-19, as applicable, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

If you wish to nominate a director or submit a proposal for presentation at the 2024 Annual Meeting, without including such proposal in next year’s proxy statement, you must be a stockholder of record and provide timely notice in writing to our Secretary at c/o BiomX Inc., 22 Einstein Street, 4^th Floor, Ness Ziona 7414003, Israel. To be timely, we must receive the notice not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 45 calendar days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to stockholders, we must receive the notice not later than the close of business on the tenth business day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting is mailed or such public disclosure is made. Your written notice must contain specific information required in Section 2 of our Bylaws. For additional information about our director nomination requirements, please see our Bylaws.

If the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting is subsequently advanced or delayed by more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting, we will provide an update to the foregoing dates by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC.

Who should I contact if I have any additional questions?

If you are the stockholder of record for your shares, please contact Marina Wolfson, at marinaw@biomx.com. If your shares are held in street name, please contact the telephone number provided on your voting instruction form or contact your bank, broker or other nominee holder directly.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently consists of seven directors, of which four members are currently in office, with three vacancies following the resignation of one of our directors in March 2022 and the further resignation of two of our directors in January 2023. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified Board consisting of three classes of directors. Currently, Class I consists of one director and Class III consists of three directors. There are no Class II acting directors since January 2023. We are currently searching for replacements to fill the vacancies in Classes I and II.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that at the Annual Meeting, directors will be elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire. Such elected directors shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Accordingly, the Class III directors shall be elected by our stockholders to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Each class is elected to serve a staggered three-year term. Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy in a class, including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors, shall serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. As noted above, there are currently three vacancies on the Board. All nominees are currently serving on our Board and have consented to be named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

If any nominee is unable or does not qualify to serve, you or your proxy may vote for another nominee proposed by the Board. If, for any reason, these nominees prove unable or unwilling to stand for election or cease to qualify to serve as directors, the Board will nominate alternates or reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the vacancies. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees would prove unable to serve if elected.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR
EACH OF THE CLASS III DIRECTOR NOMINEES IN PROPOSAL 1

The principal occupation, business experience and education of each nominee for election as a director are set forth below. Unless otherwise indicated, principal occupations shown for each director have extended for five or more years.

THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES

Board Composition and Leadership Structure

As of January 5, 2023, the Board is comprised of four members. There are currently three vacancies on the Board, created after three directors resigned from our Board in 2022 and 2023. The Board has a flexible policy with respect to the combination or separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Currently, Dr. Russell Greig serves as our independent Chairman, and Mr. Jonathan Solomon serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that by having separate roles, the Chief Executive Officer is able to focus on the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company and the Chairman is able to focus on key strategic issues, board leadership and communication. While the Board believes this leadership structure is currently in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Board also recognizes that future circumstances could lead it to combine these roles.

Director Independence

The NYSE American requires that a majority of the Board be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship that, as determined by the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his or her objective judgment and will meet the required standards for independence, as established by the applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE American and the SEC.

Dr. Russell Greig, Dr. Alan Moses and Ms. Lynne Sullivan are our independent directors. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

At least annually, the Board evaluates all relationships between us and each director considering relevant facts and circumstances for the purposes of determining whether a material relationship exists that might signal a potential conflict of interest or otherwise interfere with such director’s ability to satisfy his or her responsibilities as an independent director. Based on this evaluation, our Board will make an annual determination of whether each director is independent within the meaning of NYSE American and the SEC independence standards.

Board Meetings and Attendance

The Board held 21 meetings, including actions by written consent, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Each of the incumbent directors attended at least 75% the meetings of the Board and the committees of the Board on which he or she served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including actions by written consent (in each case, which were held during the period for which he or she was a director and/or a member of the applicable committee). We have no policy regarding attendance of our directors at the Annual Meeting. None of our directors (who were directors at the time of our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders) attended our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Committees

The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which is composed solely of independent directors, and is described more fully below. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a written charter and each committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter and submits its charter to the Board for approval. The charters for the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are all available on our website, www.biomx.com. The inclusion of our website address here and elsewhere in this proxy statement does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this proxy statement.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee engages the Company’s independent accountants: reviews their independence and performance; reviews the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements; reviews the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; reviews the Company’s compliance with legal and reviews regulatory requirements; and reviews the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has held 5 meetings, including actions by written consent, during 2022.

The members of the Audit Committee are Ms. Lynne Sullivan and Dr. Russell Greig, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards and satisfies the additional independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Ms. Sullivan is the Chairperson of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Ms. Sullivan qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee reviews annually the Company’s corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives, determines and approves the Chief Executive Office’s compensation level based on this evaluation; makes recommendations to the Board regarding approval, disapproval, modification, or termination of existing or proposed employee benefit plans; makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer, and directors; and administers the Company’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to his compensation. The Company’s executive officers do not play a role in suggesting their own salaries. The Compensation Committee has held 5 meetings, including actions by written consent, during 2022.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Dr. Alan Moses and Dr. Russell Greig, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards. Dr. Moses is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee retained Zviran Compensation & Benefits Solutions Ltd. (“Zviran”), an independent compensation consultant, to provide advice with respect to executive compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Compensation Committee engaged Zviran solely to collect and analyze data regarding executive compensation at other companies comparable to us. Zviran’s primary responsibilities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included identifying our U.S. and Israel peer group companies, benchmarking the compensation of that peer group to the compensation of our directors, Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, assessing the competitive positioning of our executive compensation and providing recommendations to the Compensation Committee, which the Compensation Committee considered among the factors it reviewed when determining executive compensation. Zviran provided peer based data on the competitiveness of our compensation program to the Compensation Committee in respect of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on the Board. Specifically, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the size and composition of the Board, establishes procedures for the director nomination process and screens and recommends candidates for election to the Board. On an annual basis, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends for approval by the Board certain desired qualifications and characteristics for Board membership. Additionally, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee establishes and oversees the annual assessment of the performance of the Board as a whole and its individual members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity identifying nominees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific needs of the Board that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of Board members. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has held 2 meetings, including actions by written consent, during 2022.

The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Dr. Russell Greig and Ms. Lynne Sullivan, each of whom is an independent director under NYSE American’s listing standards. Dr. Greig is the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Non-Management Director Meetings

In addition to the meetings of the committees of the Board described above, in connection with the Board meetings, the independent directors met 5 times in executive sessions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Chairman of the Board presides at these executive sessions.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Although our management is primarily responsible for managing our risk exposure on a daily basis, the Board oversees the risk management processes. The Board, as a whole, determines the appropriate level of risk for our Company, assesses the specific risks that we face, and reviews management’s strategies for adequately mitigating and managing the identified risks. Although the Board administers this risk management oversight function, the Audit Committee supports the Board in discharging its oversight duties and addresses risks inherent in its area of oversight.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all directors, officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website at www.biomx.com. If we make any substantive amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grant any waiver from a provision of the Code to any director or executive officer, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website.

Insider Trading, Prohibition Against Pledging, and Anti-Hedging Policies

Our insider trading policy limits the timing and types of transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, including our named executive officers, and other employees. These persons are prohibited from trading during blackout periods (during the period from and including the time the market closes on the twentieth (20^th) calendar day of the third month of any calendar quarter until the time the market opens on the date of the release of quarterly financial information) and, in the case of our directors and officers, without the clearance of our Chief Legal Officer or such person serving in such capacity, or his/her designee. In addition, the policy provides that none of our directors, officers or other employees may engage in the following transactions:

Stockholder Communications with Our Board

The Board has adopted a formal process by which stockholders may communicate with the Board or any individual director by sending correspondence to c/o BiomX Inc., 22 Einstein Street, 4^th Floor, Ness Ziona 7414003, Israel, Attn: Anat Primovich.

Each communication must set forth:

Each communication will be reviewed to determine whether it is appropriate for presentation to the Board or such individual director. Examples of inappropriate communications include advertisements, solicitations, hostile communications or communications that do not relate to appropriate company business.

Communications determined to be appropriate for presentation to the Board or such individual director will be submitted prior to the next meeting of the Board.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2023

Our Audit Committee has selected Kesselman & Kesselman, Certified Public Accountants (Isr.), a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, as our independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Auditors”), for the current fiscal year, subject to ratification by our shareholders at the Meeting. We do not expect to have a representative of the Independent Auditors attend the Meeting.

Our organizational documents do not require that the stockholders ratify the re-election of the Independent Auditors as our independent registered public accounting firm. We request such ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the re-election, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the Independent Auditors. Even if the re-election is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may decide to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee approves all audit and pre-approves all non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm before it is engaged by us to render non-audit services. These services may include audit-related services, tax services and other services.

The pre-approval requirement set forth above does not apply with respect to non-audit services if:

Summary Compensation Table

The following table presents information regarding the total compensation awarded to, earned by, and paid to our named executive officers for services rendered to us in all capacities for the years indicated.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

The following table provides information regarding equity awards held by the named executive officers that were outstanding as of December 31, 2022:

Option Awards

Prior to the Business Combination, option awards were granted to our named executive officers under the 2015 Plan. Option awards granted to our named executive officers after the closing of the Business Combination are granted pursuant to the 2019 Plan. In each case, one fourth of the options vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder of the options vest and become exercisable in 12 equal quarterly instalments, subject to the named executive officer’s continued employment; provided that the options will vest and become exercisable in the event the named executive officer is terminated within the twelve (12) month period following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the applicable grant agreement) as a result of an involuntary termination without Cause (as defined in the applicable grant agreement) or a voluntary termination with Good Reason (as defined in the applicable grant agreement). Subject to the terms of any employment agreement, the unexercised portion of these awards is generally forfeited by a participant on the date his or her employment is terminated other than due to death or disability. In the event of death or disability, the options become fully exercisable and remain exercisable for a period specified in the applicable award agreement.

Bonus Awards

We have an annual corporate and individual goal-setting and review process for our named executive officers that is the basis for the determination of potential annual bonuses. Each of our named executive officers is eligible for annual performance-based bonuses of up to a specific percentage of their salary, ranging from 40% to 50% subject to approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The performance-based bonus is tied to a set of specified corporate and/or individual goals and objectives reviewed and approved by the Board, such as clinical and development milestones, meeting budget and strategic goals, and we conduct an annual performance review to determine the attainment of such goals and objectives. Our management may propose bonus awards to the Board primarily based on such review process. The Compensation Committee makes the final determination of the achievement of both the specified corporate and strategic objectives and the eligibility requirements for and the amount of such bonus awards and recommends a bonus award payout to the Board for approval. No bonuses were paid for the fiscal year 2022.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Policies and Procedures Regarding Transactions with Related Parties

Our Related-Person Transactions Policy requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the Board (or the Audit Committee). For as long as the Company qualifies as a “smaller reporting company” as defined under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, a related-person transaction is defined under our Related-Person Transactions Policy as a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any Related Person (as defined in the policy) are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any Related Person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. If the Company ceases to be a smaller reporting company, a related-person transaction will be defined as a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company and any Related Person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any Related Person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, consultant or director are not considered related-person transactions under this policy.

In the event that the Company proposes to enter into, or materially amend, a related-person transaction, management of the Company shall present such related-person transaction to the Audit Committee for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include, to the extent reasonably available, a description of (a) all of the parties thereto, (b) the interests, direct or indirect, of any Related Person(s) in the transaction in sufficient detail so as to enable the Audit Committee to fully assess such interests, (c) the purpose of the transaction, (d) all of the material facts of the proposed related-person transaction, including the proposed aggregate value of such transaction, or, in the case of indebtedness, the amount of principal that would be involved, (e) the benefits to the Company of the proposed related-person transaction, (f) if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services, (g) an assessment of whether the proposed related-person transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties that would have been negotiated at arm’s length, and (h) management’s recommendation with respect to the proposed related-person transaction knowing that there is a potential or actual conflict that will arise of the matter proceeds to fruition. In the event the Audit Committee is asked to consider whether to ratify an ongoing related-person transaction, in addition to the information identified above, the presentation must include (i) a description of the extent of work performed and remaining to be performed in connection with the transaction, (ii) an assessment of the potential risks and costs of termination of the transaction, and (iii) where appropriate, the possibility of modification of the transaction.

The Committee, in approving or rejecting the proposed related-person transaction, will consider all the relevant facts and circumstances deemed relevant by and available to the Committee, including but not limited to (a) the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, (b) the impact on a director’s independence in the event the Related Person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated, (c) the terms and timing of the transaction, (d) the availability of other sources of comparable services or products, (e) the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties, and (f) how the related-person transaction was realized and communicated to the Audit Committee as required under the Related-Person Transactions Policy. The Audit Committee will approve only those related-person transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the Audit Committee determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Other than compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described in “Executive Officer and Director Compensation,” we had no related-person transaction since January 1, 2022.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of April 27, 2023 (except as otherwise indicated) based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, by (i) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock; (ii) each of our named executive officers and directors; and (iii) all our executive officers and directors as a group. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based on information furnished to us by each director, executive officer or stockholder who holds more than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock, and Schedules 13G or 13D filed with the SEC, as the case may be, and includes shares of our Common Stock which each beneficial owner has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 27, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Common Stock beneficially owned by them. We have based our calculation of beneficial ownership on 33,181,773 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of April 27, 2023.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, several brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our Proxy Materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability, please notify your broker or the Company. Direct your written request to: BiomX Inc., 22 Einstein Street, 4^th Floor, Ness Ziona 7414003, Israel, Attention: Marina Wolfson.

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board knows of no business to be brought before the Annual Meeting which is not referred to in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. Should any such matters be presented, the persons named in the proxy shall have the authority to take such action regarding such matters as in their judgment seems advisable. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee as described above, they will not be able to vote your shares on any other business that comes before the Annual Meeting unless they receive instructions from you with respect to such matter.

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 is available without charge upon written request to: BiomX Inc., 22 Einstein Street, 4^th Floor, Ness Ziona 7414003, Israel, Attention: Anat Primovich.
