MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 14, 2018
We invite you to attend the annual meeting (the Meeting ) of shareholders of UroGen Pharma Ltd. ( UroGen
Pharma or the Company ). The Meeting will be held on June 4, 2018 at 10:00 A.M. ET (GMT-5), at UroGen Pharma s offices at 499 Park Avenue, Suite 1200, New York, New
York 10022-1240, U.S.A.
The shareholders will be asked to vote on the following proposals at the Meeting, as further detailed below in
this proxy statement (the Proxy Statement ), in the following order:
Our board of directors recommends that you vote FOR each of proposals 1 through 3 listed above and described in this Proxy
Currently, we are not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend and vote your shares in person at the Meeting, our board of directors is asking that you complete, sign and
send in your proxy card, attached to this Proxy Statement or vote via the internet by following the electronic voting instructions included on the proxy card (or vote by telephone or over the Internet, if your shares are held in street
name through a bank, broker or other nominee and the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or nominee specifies such voting methods), in order to be represented at the Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.
You are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting if you were a shareholder of record at the close of business on
April 25, 2018 (the Record Date ). We are mailing copies of this Proxy Statement and the proxy card to such shareholders of record on or about May 3, 2018.
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A of 250 Royall Street, Canton,
Massachusetts 02021, U.S.A., 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 use the proxy card included with this Proxy
Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to Gary S. Titus, Chief Financial Officer of the Company (garyt@urogen.com), or to vote in person at the Meeting.
If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, they are considered to be held in street name and you are the
beneficial owner with respect to those shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote shares held by such beneficial owner at the Meeting. If your shares were held in street
name, as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use
in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your shares. You also may attend the Meeting. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a legal
proxy from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares directly, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. Brokers who 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. None of the items on the agenda of the Meeting are considered routine. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers
are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion, among other things, with respect to the election of directors or any matter that relates to executive compensation; and therefore, a broker
non-vote occurs with respect to such uninstructed shares. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds ordinary shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its
shares, if the shareholder wants its shares to count for all proposals.
Attached is the proxy card for the Meeting that is being solicited by our board of directors. You can vote your shares by attending the
Meeting, by completing and signing this proxy card or by following the electronic voting instructions included on the proxy card. We will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our offices at 499 Park avenue, New York, New
York 10022-1240, U.S.A., or our registrar and transfer agent receives it in the enclosed envelope, by no later than the time fixed for the Meeting.
If you hold your shares in street name, then you received this Proxy Statement from the broker, bank or other nominee, along with
such nominee s voting instruction card which includes voting instructions. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the
bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares directly, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion
on non-routine matters, as described above.
How to Change Your Vote or Revoke Your Proxy
A shareholder may revoke a proxy in one of the following ways: (i) by written notice delivered to us at our offices at 499 Park avenue,
New York, New York 10022-1240, U.S.A., Attn: Gary S. Titus, Chief Financial Officer, prior to the time of the Meeting canceling the proxy, (ii) by written notice of the revocation of the proxy delivered at the Meeting to the Chairperson of the
Meeting, or (iii) by attending and voting in person at the Meeting. To revoke the proxy by attending the Meeting, you must provide a copy of the certificate(s) evidencing that you are the record holder of those shares and proceed to request
their respective previously returned proxy card be revoked.
If you hold shares in street name you must contact your bank,
broker or other nominee to revoke any prior voting instructions.
Quorum and Required Vote
As of March 31, 2018, there were 15,473,981 ordinary shares outstanding. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote upon each of the
matters to be presented and voted on at the Meeting.
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to comply with Israeli corporate
governance practices instead of certain requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Exchange rules (the Nasdaq Rules ), provided that we disclose those Nasdaq Rules with which we do not comply and the equivalent Israeli requirement
that we follow instead. We currently rely on this foreign private issuer exemption with respect to the quorum requirement for meetings of our shareholders. As permitted under the Companies Law, pursuant to our articles of association,
the quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders, such as the Meeting, consists of at least two (2) shareholders present in person, by proxy or by written ballot (if relevant), who hold or represent between them at least 33 1/3% of the
voting rights in the Company.
In addition, if a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the
Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned for one week (to the same day, time and place), or to a later day, time and place if so specified in the notice of the meeting, unless such day shall fall on a statutory holiday (either in Israel or in the
United States), in which case the meeting will be adjourned to the first Business Day (as defined in the Company s articles of association) afterwards. If the original meeting was convened upon requisition under Section 63 of the Companies
