NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 30, 2024
An annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of My Size, Inc. (“My Size”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) will be held on December 30, 2024, at the offices of Barnea Jaffa Lande & Co Law Offices, 58 HaRakevet St., Tel Aviv 6777016, Israel at 10:00 a.m. (local time), to consider the following proposals:

3. | To transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof. |
BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE PROPOSALS TO THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS, IT IS VITAL THAT EVERY STOCKHOLDER VOTES AT THE ANNUAL MEETING IN PERSON OR BY PROXY.
Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to our stockholders over the Internet. This delivery process allows us to provide stockholders with the information they need, while at the same time conserving natural resources and lowering the cost of delivery. On or about November 4, 2024, we intend to begin sending to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy statement for our annual meeting of stockholders and our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote online and how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.
These proposals are fully set forth in the accompanying Proxy Statement, which you are urged to read thoroughly. For the reasons set forth in the Proxy Statement, your board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” Proposals 1 and 2. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2024 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. A list of all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the principal office of the Company during usual business hours, for examination by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting for 10 days prior to the date thereof. Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in person, your shares should be represented and voted. After reading the enclosed Proxy Statement, please sign, date, and return promptly the enclosed Proxy in the accompanying postpaid envelope we have provided for your convenience to ensure that your shares will be represented.

THE ANNUAL STOCKHOLDER MEETING TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 30, 2024:
Our Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and
2023 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at:
www.proxyvote.com
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of the Company to be voted at the Annual Meeting of stockholders, which will be held on December 30, 2024 at the offices of the Company’s legal counsel, Barnea Jaffa Lande & Co Law Offices, at 58 HaRakevet St., Tel Aviv 6777016, Israel at 10:00 a.m. (local time), and at any postponements or adjournments thereof.
REVOCABILITY OF PROXY AND SOLICITATION
Any stockholder executing a proxy that is solicited hereby has the power to revoke it prior to the voting of the proxy. Revocation may be made by attending the Annual Meeting and voting the shares of stock in person, or by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at the principal office of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting a written notice of revocation or a later-dated, properly executed proxy. Solicitation of proxies may be made by directors, officers and other employees of the Company by personal interview, telephone, facsimile transmittal or electronic communications. No additional compensation will be paid for any such services. This solicitation of proxies is being made by the Company which will bear all costs associated with the mailing of this proxy statement and the solicitation of proxies.
RECORD DATE
Stockholders of record at the close of business on November 4, 2024, the Record Date, will be entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at the meeting.
The Proxy Card enables you to appoint Ronen Luzon, our Chief Executive Officer, and Or Kles, our Chief Financial Officer, as your representative at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning a Proxy Card, you are authorizing each of Mr. Luzon and Mr. Kles, to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the Proxy Card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting.
What is a Proxy Statement?
A proxy statement is a document that regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) require that we give to you when we ask you to sign a proxy card to vote your stock at the Annual Meeting.
1 |
What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?
At our Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the Notice of Annual Meeting on the cover page of this Proxy Statement, including (i) the election of one Class 3 director to serve on the Company’s board of directors for a term of three years or until his successor is elected and qualified, for which Ronen Luzon is the nominee (the “Director Election Proposal”); and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Somekh Chaikin as our independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (the “Auditor Reappointment Proposal”).
Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet?
Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice) to our stockholders of record. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or to request a printed copy of the proxy materials (including a proxy card) may be found in the Notice. We intend to mail the Notice on or about November 4, 2024 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
What constitutes a quorum?
The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one third of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum permitting the meeting to conduct its business. As of the Record Date, there were 1,260,131 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding, each share entitled to one vote at the meeting. Thus, the presence of the holders of 420,044 shares of common stock will be required to establish a quorum. Abstentions, withhold votes and broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.
What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?
Most of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially in street name.
Stockholder of Record
If on November 4, 2024, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was sent directly to you by the Company. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the Proxy Card to us. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please complete, date, sign and return a Proxy Card to ensure that your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name (non-Israeli brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other nominee holders)
If on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other nominee holder, then you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from the organization.
2 |
How do I vote?
Your vote is very important to us. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote by proxy in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction form (from your broker or other intermediary). There are three convenient ways of submitting your vote:
● | By Telephone or Internet - All record holders can vote by touchtone telephone from the United States using the toll free telephone number on the proxy card, or over the Internet, using the procedures and instructions described on the proxy card. “Street name” holders may vote by telephone or Internet if their bank, broker or other intermediary makes those methods available, in which case the bank, broker or other intermediary will enclose the instructions with the proxy materials. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, to allow stockholders to vote their shares, and to confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly. | |
● | In Person - All record holders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. “Street name” holders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting if their bank, broker or other intermediary has furnished a legal proxy. If you are a “street name” holder and would like to vote your shares by proxy, you will need to ask your bank, broker or other intermediary to furnish you with an intermediary issued proxy. You will need to bring the intermediary issued proxy with you to the Annual Meeting and hand it in with a signed ballot that will be provided to you at the Annual Meeting. You will not be able to vote your shares without an intermediary issued proxy. Note that a broker letter that identifies you as a stockholder is not the same as an intermediary issued proxy. | |
● | By Mail - You may vote by completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy card or voting instruction form in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. |
The board of directors has appointed Ronen Luzon, our Chief Executive Officer, and Or Kles, our Chief Financial Officer, to serve as the proxies for the Annual Meeting.
If you complete and sign the proxy card but do not provide instructions for one or more of the proposals, then the designated proxies will or will not vote your shares as to those proposals, as described under “What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?” below. We do not anticipate that any other matters will come before the Annual Meeting, but if any other matters properly come before the meeting, then the designated proxies will vote your shares in accordance with applicable law and their judgment.
If you hold your shares in “street name,” and complete the voting instruction form provided by your broker or other intermediary except with respect to one or more of the proposals, then, depending on the proposal(s), your broker may be unable to vote your shares with respect to those proposal(s). See “What is a broker non-vote?” above.
Even if you currently plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote by telephone or Internet or return your proxy card or voting instructions as described above so that your votes will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting or are unable to attend.
How are votes counted?
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for the election of directors, “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes and, with respect to the other proposals, votes “For” and “Against,” abstentions and broker non-votes.
What is a broker non-vote?
If your shares are held in street name, you must instruct the organization who holds your shares how to vote your shares. If you sign your proxy card but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote on “routine” proposals, your broker will vote your shares as recommended by the board of directors. If a stockholder does not give timely customer direction to its broker or nominee with respect to a “non-routine” matter, the shares represented thereby (“broker non-votes”) cannot be voted by the broker or nominee, but will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum. Of the proposals described in this Proxy Statement, Proposal 1 is considered a “non-routine” matter. Proposal 2 is considered a “routine” matter.
3 |
What is an abstention?
An abstention is a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Under Delaware law, abstentions are counted as shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the board of directors on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.
Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters, but cannot vote on non-routine matters.
What is the required vote for each proposal?
Proposal 1: The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. “Plurality” means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “for” are elected as directors. As a result, any shares not voted “for” a particular nominee (whether as a result of stockholder abstention or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will have no effect on the outcome of the election. The proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than two.
Proposal 2: The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter is required for the approval of Proposal 2. Stockholder ratification of the selection of Somekh Chaikin as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 is not required by our Bylaws or other applicable legal requirement; however, our board is submitting the selection of Somekh Chaikin to stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event that the stockholders do not approve the selection of Somekh Chaikin, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment of the independent registered accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Abstentions are considered votes present and entitled to vote on this proposal, and thus, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal. Because this proposal is considered a “routine” matter under applicable stock exchange rules, we do not expect to receive any broker non-votes on this proposal.
What are the board’s recommendations?
The board’s recommendation is set forth together with the description of each item in this Proxy Statement. In summary, the board recommends a vote:
● | “FOR” the Director Election Proposal; | |
● | “FOR” approval of the Auditor Reappointment Proposal. |
With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holder will vote as recommended by the board of directors or, if no recommendation is given, in his own discretion.
Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under the governing documents of the Company in connection with this solicitation.
4 |
How are proxy materials delivered to households?
With respect to eligible stockholders who share a single address, we may send only one Notice or other Annual Meeting materials to that address unless we receive instructions to the contrary from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, if a stockholder of record residing at such address wishes to receive a separate notice or proxy statement in the future, he or she may contact My Size, Inc., 4 HaNegev St., P.O.B. 1026, Airport City, Israel, 7010000, Attention: Corporate Secretary or by calling us at +972 3 600 9030. Eligible stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of our Notice or other Annual Meeting materials can request householding by contacting us in the same manner. Stockholders who own shares through a bank, broker or other intermediary can request householding by contacting the intermediary.
We hereby undertake to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a copy of Notice or other Annual Meeting materials to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered. Requests should be directed to the Corporate Secretary at the address or phone number set forth above.
When are Stockholder Proposals Due for the 2025 Annual Meeting?
Stockholders who wish to present proposals for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) may do so by following the procedures prescribed in Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. To be eligible, the stockholder proposals must be received by our corporate secretary on or before July 7, 2025. Although the board will consider stockholder proposals, we reserve the right to omit from our proxy statement, or to vote against, stockholder proposals that we are not required to include under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8.
Our bylaws govern the submission of nominations for director or other business proposals that a stockholder wishes to have considered at a meeting of stockholders, but which are not included in our proxy statement for that meeting. Any appropriate proposal submitted by a stockholder and intended to be presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting must be submitted in writing to the Company’s Secretary at 4 HaNegev St., P.O.B. 1026, Airport City, Israel 7010000 and received no earlier than September 1, 2025, and no later than October 1, 2025. However, if the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is convened more than 30 days before, or delayed by more than 60 days after, December 30, 2025, to be considered at our 2025 Annual Meeting, a stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing to the Company’s Secretary at 4 HaNegev St., P.O.B. 1026, Airport City, Israel 7010000 a stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing to the Company’s Secretary at 4 HaNegev St., P.O.B. 1026, Airport City, Israel 7010000 and received no earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company.
To comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees at the 2025 Annual Meeting must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a19 under the Exchange Act no later than October 31, 2025. If the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary date of the 2024 annual meeting, however, then the stockholder must provide notice by the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting or the 10th calendar day following the date on which public announcement of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is first made.
A copy of our bylaws may be obtained by accessing our public filings on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You may also contact our Secretary at our principal executive offices for a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals and nominating director candidates.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors
Historically, we have not provided a formal process related to stockholder communications with the board. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. Stockholders or other interested parties may communicate with any director by writing to them at My Size, Inc., HaNegev 4, POB 1026, Airport City, Israel 7010000, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
We have a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all our employees. The text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is publicly available on our website at www.mysizeid.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this report and is not incorporated by reference herein. Disclosure regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of the code of conduct and ethics that apply to our directors, principal executive and financial officers will be posted on the “Investors-Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.mysizeid.com or will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Although we do not require separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, we have in the past had a different person serving in each such role. The position of Chairman is currently vacant. The decision whether to combine or separate these positions depends on what our board deems to be in the long term interest of stockholders in light of prevailing circumstances. The separation of duties provides strong leadership for the board while allowing the Chief Executive Officer to be the leader of the Company, focusing on its customers, employees, and operations. Our board of directors believes the Company is well-served by this flexible leadership structure and that the combination or separation of these positions should continue to be considered on an ongoing basis.
Anti-hedging Policy
Our insider trading policy prohibits directors, officers and other employees or contractors from engaging in short sales, transactions in put or call options, hedging transactions or other inherently speculative transactions with respect to our stock at any time.

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, our audit committee charter requires the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the review and approval in advance of our independent registered public accounting firm’s annual engagement letter and the proposed fees contained therein. The audit committee has the ability to delegate the authority to pre-approve non-audit services to one or more designated members of the audit committee. If such authority is delegated, such delegated members of the audit committee must report to the full audit committee at the next audit committee meeting all items pre-approved by such delegated members. In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 all of the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by the audit committee.
