REHOVOT, ISRAEL, January 19, 2015-NeuroDerm Ltd. (NASDAQ: NDRM), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing drugs for central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced that it will hold an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on Monday, February 23, 2015 for the purposes of ratifying the election of the Company's external directors, Alla Felder and Jonathan Kalman, and adopting a compensation policy for the Company's executives and directors.

In October 2014, Ms. Felder and Mr. Kalman were elected as external directors by the Company's shareholders prior to the Company's recent initial public offering. The Israeli Companies Law requires ratification of their election by the Company's shareholders within three months following the closing of the offering.
If their election is ratified, Ms. Felder and Mr. Kalman will continue to serve on the Company's Board of Directors in their roles as external directors for a three year term. Both also qualify as independent directors under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and NASDAQ.

The second agenda item for the shareholders meeting-the adoption of a compensation policy for the Company's executives and directors-is being brought before the shareholders pursuant to a requirement under the Israeli Companies Law that such adoption must be complete within the first nine months following the Company's initial public offering.
The Company's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the Company's shareholders approve both proposals at the meeting.

Further Details Concerning the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting
The presence in person or by proxy of two or more shareholders possessing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company's voting power will constitute a quorum at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the scheduled time for the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned for one week and will be held on Monday, March 2, 2015 at the same time and place, unless otherwise determined by the Chairman of the meeting. At such adjourned meeting, the presence of at least two shareholders in person or by proxy (regardless of the voting power possessed by their shares) will constitute a quorum. Approval of each proposal at the meeting (or any adjournment thereof) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares present (in person or by proxy) and voting (not including abstentions). In addition to the foregoing simple majority, the approval of each proposal also requires that either:

• the majority voted in favor of the proposal includes a majority of the ordinary shares held by non-controlling shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal that are voted at the meeting, excluding abstentions; or
• the total number of ordinary shares held by non-controlling, disinterested shareholders (as described in the previous bullet-point) voted against approval of the proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting rights in the Company.
Shareholders who are unable to attend the meeting in person will be requested to complete, date and sign their proxy cards and return them promptly in the pre-addressed envelope that will be provided, so as to be received not less than forty eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting. No postage will be required if it is mailed in the United States to the Company's United States transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Shareholders who attend the meeting in person may revoke their proxies and vote their ordinary shares at the meeting.
If your ordinary shares in the Company are held in "street name" (meaning held through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will be able to either direct the record holder of your shares on how to vote your shares (including via www.proxyvote.com) or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to enable you to participate in and to vote your shares at the meeting (or to appoint a proxy to do so).
Joint holders of ordinary shares in the Company should take note that, pursuant to NeuroDerm's articles of association, the vote of the senior of joint holders of any share who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other holder(s) of the share, and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order of registration of the joint holders in the register of shareholders.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the meeting, NeuroDerm will make available to its shareholders of record a proxy statement describing the time and place, and other logistical information related to the meeting, and the proposals to be voted upon at the meeting, along with a proxy card enabling them to submit their votes on those proposals. NeuroDerm is also furnishing copies of the proxy statement and proxy card to the SEC in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, which may be obtained for free from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and will be available on the Company's website at www.neuroderm.com.
