After continued evaluation of our corporate governance practices and careful consideration of views held by the investment community, the Board determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting, to amend our Articles of Association, to provide for a phased-in declassification of our Board of Directors and to provide for the annual election of all directors, as described below (such proposal, the “Declassification Proposal”). This amendment demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance and better aligns our governance processes with what are considered to be governance best practices by the investor community.

The proposed amendment (the “Declassification Charter Amendment”) would eliminate the classification of our Board on a phased-in basis starting with the 2025 Annual Meeting. In the interim, the Class II directors up for election at the Annual Meeting would be elected for a two-year term, to expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting. At the 2025 Annual Meeting and all Annual Meetings thereafter, our directors would be elected for a one-year term. Thus, if the Declassification Proposal is approved, the Board would be fully declassified at the time of the 2026 Annual Meeting, at which point each director would stand for reelection every year for a one-year term.

The full text of the Declassification Charter Amendment is set forth in its entirety in Annex A. If the proposed Declassification Charter Amendment is approved and adopted, it will become effective immediately upon approval at the Annual Meeting.

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“1. RESOLVED, to approve the amendment of Article 40 of the Articles of Association of Pagaya Technologies Ltd., as set forth in the Declassification Charter Amendment.”

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Annual Meeting online or by proxy and voting thereon is required to adopt the foregoing resolution (an “Ordinary Majority”). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FOR THE PHASED-IN DECLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Our Board currently consists of nine directors. Our Articles of Association provide that our Board may consist of not less than three and up to ten directors.

Under our Articles of Association, our directors (other than our external directors, if any, as discussed below) are divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or reelection of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors is for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or reelection, such that each year the term of office of one class of directors expires.

If Proposal 1 is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the classification of the Board of Directors will be phased out over the next three Annual Meetings, such that (i) at the Annual Meeting, each of the Directors in Class II will be elected to hold office for a term of two years, which will expire at the time of the 2026 Annual Meeting; and (ii) at the 2025 Annual Meeting and all Annual Meetings thereafter each of the directors up for election will be elected to hold office for a term of one year. If Proposal 1 is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the term of office of one Class of Directors will continue to expire each year, and at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders the successors to the Directors of the Class whose term is expiring at that time will continue to be elected to hold office for a term of three years. Accordingly, the term of office of the persons elected as Directors in Class II at this year’s Annual Meeting will expire at the time of the 2027 Annual Meeting.

Each director serves through the term of his or her class, except in the event of his or her earlier death, resignation, removal or termination otherwise. The term of each of our Class II directors, Avi Zeevi, Tami Rosen and Dan Petrozzo, expires at the Annual Meeting. Our Class I directors, Harvey Golub, Mircea Ungureanu and Nicole Torraco, are serving terms that expire at the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders, and our Class III directors, Gal Krubiner, Avital Pardo and Yahav Yulzari, are serving terms that expire at the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders.

Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between any director for directorship and any other person pursuant to which such director was selected as director.

Upon recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board nominated each of Avi Zeevi, Tami Rosen and Dan Petrozzo for reelection at the Annual Meeting as a Class I Director to serve until the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their office is vacated in accordance with our Amended Articles of Association or the Israel Companies Law. Each director nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected and has advised us that they have the qualifications and time required for the performance of their duties as a director, and that there are no legal restrictions preventing them from assuming such office.

Avi Zeevi and Dan Petrozzo each qualify as an independent director under the Nasdaq listing standards. Tami Rosen is a member of the Company’s management team and thus does not qualify as an independent director under the Nasdaq listing standards. In accordance with the Israel Companies Law, each of Avi Zeevi, Tami Rosen and Dan Petrozzo has certified to us that they meet all the requirements of the Israel Companies Law for election as a director of a public company, and possesses the necessary qualifications and has sufficient time to fulfill their duties as a director of Pagaya, taking into account the size and particular needs of Pagaya.

The Board meets regularly during the year and holds special meetings and acts by unanimous written consent whenever circumstances require. Independent directors meet at regular executive sessions without management present. During fiscal year 2023, the Board held five meetings and conducted certain business by unanimous consent. All of our directors are encouraged to attend our Annual Meeting of shareholders. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board, with the exception of Mircea Ungureanu who attended three of the five board meetings. Four of the then-serving Directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders held by the Company in September 2023. Directors are encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the continuing review of the governance structure of the Board, and for recommending to the Board those structures and practices best suited to the Company and its shareholders. Our Board is currently led by our independent chairman, Avi Zeevi. The Board believes the current leadership structure ensures robust, independent oversight by the Board and our independent Chair.

The Board is responsible for overseeing management’s execution of risk oversight and for assessing the Company’s approach to risk management. The Board exercises its responsibilities in Board meetings and through the Board’s three committees, each of which examines various components of both enterprise and emerging risks.

During 2023, none of our executive officers served on the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors of another entity whose executive officer served on our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. Therefore, there is no relationship that requires disclosure as a Compensation Committee interlock.

The Company does not permit any officer or director to hedge the economic risk of their ownership of any Company securities, which includes entering into any derivative transaction on Pagaya stock (e.g., any short-sale, prepaid variable forward contract, equity swap, collars, exchange funds). Any pledge of Company securities by an executive officer or director must be approved by the Board.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Pagaya’s voting securities as of September 30, 2024, by:

Unless otherwise indicated, Pagaya believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Except as otherwise noted herein, the number and percentage of Pagaya Ordinary Shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has sole or shared voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. In determining beneficial ownership percentages, Pagaya deems ordinary shares that a shareholder has the right to acquire, including the Pagaya Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2024, if any, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person with such right to acquire additional ordinary shares for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person (including in the total when calculating the applicable beneficial owner’s percentage of ownership), but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise stated, the address of each named executive officer and director is c/o Pagaya Technologies Ltd., 90 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016.

The calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 60,167,979 outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, and 12,652,310 outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, as of September 30, 2024.

Note that all share counts described herein are adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse share split that was effected on March 8, 2024.

For information concerning the total compensation earned during 2023 by our directors and five most highly-compensated office holders (as defined in the Israel Companies Law), including base salary, share-based compensation, directors’ fees (where applicable) and all other compensation, please see “Item  11. Executive Compensation” of our 2023 Annual Report.

The Israeli Companies Law requires that an “office holder” (as defined in the Israel Companies Law) of a company promptly disclose any personal interest that he or she may have and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction of the company. Each of our directors and executive officers is an ‘office holder’ under the Israel Companies Law and Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy. Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy also applies to any director nominees, any holders of 5% or more of Pagaya’s outstanding share capital or voting rights (“5% Holders” and collectively with Pagaya’s office holders and director nominees, the “Covered Persons”)

and with respect to transactions in which a Covered Person has a direct or indirect personal interest, including a personal interest of a relative of such Covered Person and a personal interest of an entity in which such Covered Person or a relative of such Covered Person is an interested party (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law).

Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law and Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy, the Audit Committee shall determine whether any transaction with a Covered Person in which the Covered Person has a personal interest (other than, with respect to a Covered Person who is an office holder, such office holder’s Terms of Office and Employment, is an “extraordinary transaction” (defined as a transaction not in the ordinary course of business, not on market terms or likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities).

Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law, the Articles of Association and Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy, in the event that the Audit Committee determines that the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, Audit Committee and Board approval are required and, in some circumstances, shareholder approval may also be required; if however, it is determined that the transaction is not an extraordinary transaction, the transaction will not require Board or shareholder approval. A Related Person Transaction may only be approved if it is determined to be in the best interests of Pagaya. The Company should normally not commit to a Related Person Transaction for a term of more than three years without the right to review and re-negotiate its terms and provisions at least once every three years.

A person with a personal interest in the matter generally may not be present at meetings of the Board or certain committees where the matter is being considered and, if a member of the Board or a committee, may generally not vote on the matter.

For a description of Related Party Transactions, please see “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” of our 2023 Annual Report. In addition, on April 25, 2024, Pagaya entered into a Series Seed Preferred Share Purchase Agreement with Casemate Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel (“Casemate”).

Pursuant to a Series Seed Preferred Share Purchase Agreement, Pagaya invested $125,000 in Casemate in exchange for preferred shares of Casemate.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s ordinary shares, to file with the SEC reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership in the ordinary shares. Because the Company was a private foreign issuer during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders were exempt from the requirements of Section 16(a) during that period.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company, the audit committee oversees the operation of the Company’s system of internal controls in respect of the integrity of its financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies, and the qualifications, performance and independence of its independent registered public accounting firm. Management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements.

Consistent with its oversight responsibility, the audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and its independent registered public accounting firm the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the results of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.

The audit committee has also discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) rules, including the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided to the audit committee the written disclosures and letters regarding their independence required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence. The audit committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from the Company and its management and considered whether the non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company are compatible with maintaining the firm’s independence.

The audit committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for its audit. The audit committee met with the independent registered public accounting firm to discuss the results of its examinations and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

Based on the audit committee’s review of the audited financial statements and the review and discussions described in the foregoing paragraph, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit committee has selected Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer,a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and has asked the shareholders to approve the reappointment.

The foregoing report of the audit committee of the Board of Directors shall not be deemed to be soliciting material or be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed to be filed with the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 will be presented. This item does not require a vote of the Company’s shareholders. The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are contained within the 2023 Annual Report (which is available to shareholders through the SEC website, www.sec.gov, and at our Company’s website (www.pagaya.com)). Information contained on or accessible through our website or the SEC’s website is not a part of this proxy statement, and the inclusion of the website addresses in this proxy statement is an inactive textual reference only.

Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024, and for the additional period until the close of our next annual general meeting of shareholders and to authorize the Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, to fix the remuneration of the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the volume and nature of its services. Representatives of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer are invited to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter and the requirements of law, the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permitted non-audit services that may be provided by Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer and its affiliates, our independent registered public accounting firm. This pre-approval applies to audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services and is designed to ensure that such engagements do not impair the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.

The following table sets forth, for each of the years indicated, the fees billed by our independent registered public accounting firm.

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“3. RESOLVED, that the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders be approved, and that the Board, upon recommendation of the audit committee, be authorized to fix the remuneration of said independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the volume and nature of their services.”

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt the foregoing resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to approve the below framework for calculating 2024 cash bonuses for our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Business Officer and Chief Development Officer (collectively, our “Management Directors”). In particular, the Board of Directors proposes that the bonus framework for the Management Directors shall be based on three key performance indicators that the Company uses to measure its overall performance: Revenue, Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are two metrics that the Company describes in its SEC filings, including the 2023 Annual Report, and Gross Margin, which is a GAAP metric defined as gross profit divided by revenue for a given period, that the Company expects to use to evaluate profitability.

In calculating the bonuses for our Management Directors in 2024, the Board recommends utilizing a formula that assigns Revenue a weight of 35%, Gross Margin a weight of 35%, and Adjusted EBITDA a weight of 30%. This reflects a notable shift in weighting, which includes a significant reduction in the weight assigned to Revenue, and increases the weights assigned to Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA. The Board further recommends that ultimate payouts be adjusted, in part, by a Company performance multiplier, which shall adjust the Company performance portion of a Management Director’s target bonus under the 2024 Short Term Incentive Program to reflect:

In no event will the multiplier exceed 300%. In addition to the above formulaic bonus, the Board recommends that it be granted the authority, in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy, to award (i) our Chief Executive Officer, if so recommended by the Compensation Committee, a discretionary bonus of up to 25% of his annual base salary, and (ii) each of our other Management Directors, if so recommended by the Compensation Committee, a discretionary bonus of up to 25% of his or her annual base salary.

The proposed framework for the cash bonuses of our Management Directors was approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, after considering the factors specified in our Compensation Policy, including each of our Management Directors’ performance and contribution to the Company. The terms also reflect each of our Management Directors’ experience, a comprehensive compensation survey, and the terms of our Compensation Policy. Our Compensation Committee and Board approved the framework described above as they believe that, together with the current terms of each of our Management Directors’ compensation, it serves as an appropriate long-term retention and performance incentive, and advances the objectives of the Company, its work plan and its long-term strategy.

All other employment terms for our Management Directors shall remain unchanged. For further information on the compensation terms of Messrs. Krubiner, Pardo and Yulzari and Ms. Rosen, please see “Item 11. Executive Compensation” of our 2023 Annual Report.

You are requested to adopt the following resolutions:

“4.a. RESOLVED, to approve the 2024 compensation framework for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as set forth in Proposal No. 4 of the proxy statement dated October 25, 2024; and

“4.b. RESOLVED, to approve the 2024 compensation framework for the Company’s Management Directors other than its Chief Executive Officer, as set forth in Proposal No. 4 of the proxy statement dated October 25, 2024.”

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt each of the foregoing resolutions. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will hae no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals. In addition to an Ordinary Majority, each of the foregoing resolutions also requires that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. The term “controlling shareholder” means a shareholder having the ability to direct the activities of a company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if the shareholder holds 50% or more of the voting rights in a company or has the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the company or its general manager.

Under the Israel Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of the shareholder and any member of the shareholder’s family, family members of the shareholder’s spouse, or a spouse of any of such family members, or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our ordinary shares. Under the Israel Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes a personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote. If you do not have a personal interest in this matter, you may assume that using the form of proxy enclosed herewith will not create a personal interest. To avoid confusion, in the form of proxy card, we refer to such a personal interest as a “personal benefit or other interest.”

Under the Israel Companies Law, every voting shareholder is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a Controlling Shareholder or has a Personal Interest. To avoid confusion, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, or via internet voting, will be deemed to confirm to us that such shareholder is NOT a Controlling Shareholder and does not have a Personal Interest. If you are a Controlling Shareholder or have a personal interest (in which case your vote will count only for or against the Ordinary Majority, and not for or against the Special Majority), please notify the Company’s Chief Legal Officer at 90 Park Avenue, 20th floor, New York, NY 10016 or by email to [email protected]. If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a Controlling Shareholder or have a Personal Interest, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE 2024 BONUS FRAMEWORK FOR THE MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), enacted on July 21, 2010, we are required to seek, on a non-binding advisory basis, shareholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Our executive compensation program is designed with the intention of (i) attracting, motivating and retaining highly-qualified executive officers in a competitive market, (ii) providing compensation to our executives that is competitive and rewarding the achievement of challenging business objectives; and (iii) aligning our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders by providing a significant portion of total compensation in the form of equity awards.

Our Board of Directors believes that our current executive compensation program must be regularly reviewed and revised as necessary to ensure alignment of our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendations of the Company’s senior management when assessing the amount or form of executive and director compensation. Shareholders are referred to “Item 11. Executive Compensation” section of our 2023 Annual Report, which further discusses how our executive compensation policies and procedures implement our compensation philosophy and contains tabular information and narrative discussion about the compensation of our named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that these policies and procedures are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals.

For more information about the compensation that we paid to our named executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, please refer to “Item 11. Executive Compensation” section of our 2023 Annual Report, which we believe demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure management’s interests are aligned with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term shareholder value creation.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. Neither the outcome of this advisory vote nor of the advisory vote included in this proposal overrules any decision by the company or our Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), creates or implies any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or our Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), or creates or implies any additional fiduciary duties for the company or our Board of Directors (or any committee thereof). However, our Board and Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“5. “RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Pagaya Technologies Ltd. approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Named Executive Officers compensation as described in the Executive Compensation and disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables and narrative disclosure set forth in Pagaya Technologies Ltd’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.”

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt the foregoing resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The Say-on-Pay Vote is not binding on us, the Board or the Compensation Committee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THE 2023 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.

As required under the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company is asking shareholders to cast a nonbinding, advisory vote to approve the frequency with which the Company should hold future say-on-pay advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

This advisory vote, commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” vote, gives shareholders the opportunity to express their views about how frequently the Company should conduct future say-on-pay votes. You may vote for future say-on-pay votes to be held every “One (1)”, “Two (2)” or “Three (3)” years in response to this proposal. The Company is required to hold a frequency vote at least once every six years. The next mandatory say-on-frequency vote would therefore be expected to take place at the Company’s 2030 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. After careful consideration, the Board recommends that future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers be held every year.

Shareholders are not voting to approve or disapprove our Board’s recommendation. Instead, shareholders may indicate their preference regarding the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers by selecting one year, two years, or three years. Shareholders that do not have a preference regarding the frequency of future advisory votes may abstain from voting on the proposal.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of holding future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. However, because this is an advisory vote and therefore not binding on our Board or the Company, our Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders that we hold an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers more or less frequently than the option preferred by our shareholders. The results of the vote will not be construed to create or imply any change or addition to the fiduciary duties of our Board.

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“6. RESOLVED, to recommend that shareholders vote, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, that future advisory (non-binding) votes on executive compensation should take place every one year, every two years or every three years.”

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt the foregoing resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The Say-on-Frequency Vote is not binding on us, the Board or the Compensation Committee.

The frequency that receives the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be the frequency recommended by shareholders. If no frequency receives the foregoing vote, then we will consider the option of ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, or THREE YEARS that receives the highest number of votes cast to be the frequency recommended by shareholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO CONDUCT SAY-ON-PAY VOTES EVERY YEAR.

Our Articles of Association currently provide that, until the third anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering (which was in June 2022), the termination of any of the Founders (Messrs. Krubiner, Pardo and Yulzari), whether or not for cause, requires the approval of a supermajority of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the Board then in office (the “Supermajority Voting Requirement”).

In advance of the third anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering, the Board of Directors has reviewed our Articles of Association and is recommending a number of modifications to the Supermajority Voting Requirement in connection with its renewal. First, the Board of Directors is recommending it have the ability to terminate the Chief Executive Officer for cause upon a simple majority vote (the “Cause Addition”), rather than the Supermajority Voting Requirement as currently set forth in our Articles of Association.

Second, the Board of Directors is recommending the Company renew this provision for an additional three years, but solely as it applies to the Chief Executive Officer (together with the Cause Addition, the “Supermajority Renewal”). In doing so, the Board notes that the Supermajority Voting Requirement will be released as it applies to our other two founders, the Chief Technology Officer and the Chief Business Officer, earlier than originally approved by shareholders.

The Board of Directors believes that the Supermajority Renewal has been crafted carefully in light of the Board of Directors’ commitment to the Company's stability and long-term growth. The full text of the proposed amendment (the “Supermajority Amendment”) to our Articles of Association is set forth in its entirety in Annex B. If the proposed Supermajority Amendment is approved and adopted, it will become effective immediately upon approval at the Annual Meeting.

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“7. RESOLVED, to approve the amendment of Article 49(b) of the Articles of Association of Pagaya Technologies Ltd., as set forth in the Supermajority Amendment.”

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt the foregoing resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. In addition to an Ordinary Majority, this proposal also requires that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. Each of the terms “controlling shareholder” and “personal interest” shall have the same respective meaning as in Proposal 4 above.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION.

Our Articles of Association currently provide that all outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares owned by a Founder and by any Permitted Class B Owners affiliated with such Founder shall automatically convert into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares (without consideration and without need for further action by the Company or the relevant Founder or Permitted Class B Owner) upon the occurrence of certain events. One such event, as set forth in Section 8(e)(iii) of our Articles of Association, is the earlier to occur of (1) such time as the Founders and the Permitted Class B Owners first collectively hold less than 10% of the total issued and outstanding ordinary share capital of the Company, and (2) the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Board of Directors has reviewed our Articles of Association and is recommending an adjustment to the threshold upon which Class B Ordinary Shares would be automatically converted to Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Auto-Conversion Threshold”) to gradually reduce the Auto-Conversion Threshold to 7.5% by the 2026 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors believes this adjustment will continue to incentivize strategic decision-making that is in the best long-term interest of the Company. The Board of Directors is proposing that the Auto-Conversion Threshold be reduced by 1% at each of the 2024 and 2025 Annual Meetings and by an additional 0.5% at the 2026 Annual Meeting.

The full text of the proposed amendment (the “Class B Auto-Conversion Amendment”) to our Articles of Association is set forth in its entirety in Annex C. If the proposed Class B Auto-Conversion Amendment is approved and adopted, it will become effective immediately upon approval at the Annual Meeting.

You are requested to adopt the following resolution:

“8. RESOLVED, to approve the amendment of Article 8(e)(iii) of the Articles of Association of Pagaya Technologies Ltd., as set forth in the Class B Auto-Conversion Amendment.”

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt the foregoing resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals. In addition to an Ordinary Majority, this proposal also requires that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. Each of the terms “controlling shareholder” and “personal interest” shall have the same respective meaning as in Proposal 4 above.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION.

Any shareholder of the Company who intends to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting must satisfy the requirements of the Israel Companies Law. Under the Israel Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, only shareholders who severally or jointly hold at least 1% of the Company’s outstanding voting rights are entitled to request that the Board include a proposal in a future shareholders’ meeting (5% of the Company’s outstanding voting rights in the case of a proposal relating to the election or removal of a director), provided that such proposal is appropriate for consideration by shareholders at such meeting.

The Company shall be entitled to publish information provided by a proposing shareholder, and the proposing shareholder shall be responsible for the accuracy thereof. In addition, shareholder proposals must otherwise comply with applicable law and our Articles of Association. The Company may disregard shareholder proposals that are not timely and validly submitted.

The information set forth in this section is, and should be construed as, a “pre-announcement notice” of the 2025 Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 5C of the Israel Companies Regulations (Notice of General and Class Meetings in a Public Company), 5760-2000, as amended.

The Board is not aware of any other matters that may be presented at the Annual Meeting other than those detailed in the attached Notice.

The 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held on December 11, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. Israel time (9:00 a.m. Eastern Time), online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PGY2024.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting, including any adjournments or postponements thereof, will be limited to holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, October 21, 2024, who hold ordinary shares directly in their own name, and beneficial owners who hold ordinary shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name, and each of their legal proxy holders or their authorized persons.

Only holders of record of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, no par value (“Class A ordinary shares”), or Class B ordinary shares, no par value (the “Class B ordinary shares” and, collectively with the Class A ordinary shares, the “ordinary shares”) at the close of business on October 21, 2024, the Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Joint holders of ordinary shares should note that, pursuant to Article 33(d) of the Company’s Articles of Association, the right to vote at the Annual Meeting will be conferred exclusively upon the “senior” among the joint owners attending the Annual Meeting, online or by proxy, and for this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names appear in the Company’s register of shareholders.

As of the Record Date, there were 60,496,429 Class A ordinary shares and 12,652,310 Class B ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

This Proxy Statement describes the proposals on which we would like you, as a shareholder, to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement provides you with information on the proposals, as well as other information about the Company, so that you can make an informed decision as to whether and how to vote your shares.

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

You may vote by mail. You can do this by completing your proxy card (if you are a shareholder of record) or your voting instruction card (if you are a “street name” beneficial owner) and returning it in the enclosed, prepaid, and addressed envelope. If you return a signed card but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”).

If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are held directly in your name, you may vote by phone or online. “Street name” holders may be able to vote by phone or through an Internet website in accordance with instructions included on their proxy cards.

Many Pagaya shareholders hold their shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As explained in this proxy statement, there are some distinctions between shares held on record and shares owned in “street name.”

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company of New York, New York, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly or to vote online at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held through a bank, broker, or another nominee, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker, or other nominee, which is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the bank, broker, or nominee how to vote your shares for the Annual Meeting. You also may attend the virtual Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares online at the Annual Meeting, unless you first obtain a “legal proxy” from the record holder (that is, your bank, broker, or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares. Your bank, broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker, or nominee regarding how to vote your shares.

Brokers that hold shares in “street name” for clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. The only item on the Annual Meeting agenda that may be considered routine is Proposal 3 relating to the reappointment of Pagaya’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Yes. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, Pagaya recommends that you vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Yes. You may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may do this by:

If you hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.

When you submit a proxy vote, you appoint Eric Watson, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer and Evangelos Perros, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. Your ordinary shares or preferred shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting as you have instructed.

Upon the receipt of a properly submitted proxy card, which is received in time (by 4:00 p.m., Israel Time (9:00 a.m. Eastern Time), on December 10, 2024, 24 hours prior to the Annual Meeting) and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, or which is presented to the chairperson at the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the ordinary shares represented thereby at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as indicated in the instructions outlined on the proxy card.

It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with brokers. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

To conduct business at the Annual Meeting, two or more shareholders must be present, online or by proxy, holding shares conferring in the aggregate at least twenty five percent (25%) of the voting power of the Company. In addition, a quorum shall also require the presence online or by proxy of at least one shareholder holding Class B ordinary shares if such shares are outstanding.

Ordinary shares and preferred shares represented online or by proxy will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a proxy card but does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present in determining if a quorum is present.

If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting may determine.

Each outstanding Class A ordinary share is entitled to one (1) vote. Each outstanding Class B ordinary share is entitled to ten (10) votes. Each outstanding preferred share is entitled to one (1) vote for each ordinary share into which such preferred share could be converted as of the Record Date. The Company’s Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. On all matters considered at the Annual Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the matter.

The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt each of the proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals. In addition to an Ordinary Majority, each of Proposals 4.a, 4.b, 7 and 8 also requires that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company.

The term “controlling shareholder” means a shareholder having the ability to direct the activities of a company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if the shareholder holds 50% or more of the voting rights in a company or has the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the company or its general manager.

Under the Israel Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of the shareholder and any member of the shareholder’s family, family members of the shareholder’s spouse, or a spouse of any of such family members, or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our ordinary shares. Under the Israel Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes a personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote. If you do not have a personal interest in this matter, you may assume that using the form of proxy enclosed herewith will not create a personal interest. To avoid confusion, in the form of a proxy card, we refer to such a personal interest as a “personal benefit or other interest.”

Under the Israel Companies Law, every voting shareholder is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a Controlling Shareholder or has a personal interest. To avoid confusion, every shareholder voting by means of the enclosed proxy card, or via telephone or internet voting, will be deemed to confirm to us that such shareholder is NOT a Controlling Shareholder and does not have a Personal Interest. If you are a Controlling Shareholder or have a Personal Interest (in which case your vote will count only for or against the Ordinary Majority, and not for or against any special majority set out in the proposals), please notify the Company’s Chief Legal Officer at 90 Park Avenue, 20th floor, New York, NY 10016 or by email to [email protected]. If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a Controlling Shareholder or have a personal interest, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.

If you are unable to make this confirmation, please contact the Company’s Legal Department for guidance at [email protected]; if you hold your shares in “street name,” you may also contact the representative managing your account, who could contact us on your behalf.

If you are the record holder of your shares and do not specify on your proxy card how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board, which are FOR proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and vote 1 Year with respect to Proposal 6. Similarly, if you execute and return this proxy card without indicating any directions with respect to any matter, this proxy card will be voted FOR proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and vote 1 Year with respect to Proposal 6.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares and do not specify how you want to vote, your shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting but may not be voted on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held of record by a bank, broker, or other nominee, we urge you to give instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee as to how you wish your shares to be voted so you may participate in the shareholder voting on these important matters.

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and to report the final voting results following the Annual Meeting on Form 8-K that we will furnish to the SEC.

The Company will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers, and employees of the Company may solicit proxies from shareholders by telephone, personal interview or otherwise. Such directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians have been requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of ordinary shares held on record by them, and such custodians will be reimbursed by the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company may also retain an independent advisor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If retained for such services, the costs will be paid by the Company.

Our 2023 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on April 25, 2024, is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as under the Investor Relations section of Pagaya’s website at www.pagaya.com. In addition, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Shareholders may download a copy of any of the foregoing documents without charge by visiting the Investor Relations section of Pagaya’s website at www.pagaya.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website or the SEC’s website is not a part of this proxy statement, and the inclusion of the website addresses in this proxy statement is an inactive textual reference only.

Although we are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers, since the Company’s earnings release for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we have begun filing on U.S. domestic issuer forms, including Forms 10-Q, 10-K and 8-K, with the SEC on a voluntary basis. Our SEC filings are available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Board of Directors receives communications from shareholders, from time to time, and addresses those communications as appropriate. Shareholders can send communication to the Board of Directors in writing, to Pagaya Technologies, Inc., 90 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10016, Attention: Board of Directors or via email to [email protected].

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports, or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” means that we will deliver only one copy of our annual report and proxy statement to shareholders of record who share the same address and last name unless we have received contrary instructions from you. This procedure reduces our printing costs and mailing costs and fees. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate annual report and proxy statement to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of either of those documents was delivered.

If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker, if you are a beneficial owner or, if you are a record holder, direct your written request to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or call Broadridge at 1-866-540-7095.

The SEC permits us to “incorporate by reference” into this Proxy Statement the information that we file with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to such information. Information that is incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Proxy Statement. Information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the information that is either contained, or incorporated by reference, in this Proxy Statement, and will be considered to be a part of this Proxy Statement from the date such information is filed. We have filed with the SEC and incorporate by reference in this Proxy Statement, except as superseded, supplemented or modified by this Proxy Statement, the document listed below (excluding those portions of any Current Report on Form 8-K that are not deemed “filed” pursuant to the General Instructions of Form 8-K):

We also incorporate by reference into this Proxy Statement additional documents that we may file with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof but before the Annual Meeting (excluding any information not deemed “filed” with the SEC). Any statement contained in a previously filed document is deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Proxy Statement to the extent that a statement contained in this Proxy Statement or in a subsequently filed document incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes the statement, and any statement contained in this Proxy Statement is deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Proxy Statement to the extent that a statement contained in a subsequently filed document incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes the statement.

You may obtain a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, including exhibits, and of other documents incorporated by reference herein, without charge, upon the written or oral request of such documents. Requests should be directed to:
