The cooperation agreement de-escalates a contentious activist campaign and replaces a threatened tender offer with board representation. Monitor the November 10 special meeting vote — approval is likely given the board's unanimous recommendation and the activists' ~17% stake. The 60-day standstill on share issuance removes near-term ATM dilution risk. Watch for strategic direction changes under the new board majority.

Executive Summary
Evogene entered into a cooperation agreement with activist shareholders L.I.A. Pure Capital and Invest-Pro, resolving a proxy contest and a threatened special tender offer. The agreement reconstitutes the board with four Pure Capital nominees and three continuing directors, includes mutual releases and a 60-day standstill, and requires shareholder approval at a November 10, 2026 special meeting.
Key Facts
- Cooperation agreement dated October 6, 2026 between Evogene and L.I.A. Pure Capital Ltd. and Invest Pro Shukai Hon Ltd.
- Pure Capital Group beneficially owns 3,057,488 ordinary shares, representing approximately 16.93% of outstanding shares.
- Activist shareholders had threatened a special tender offer at not less than $0.55 per share and challenged the September 4, 2026 AGM results.
- Board reconstituted: 4 Pure Capital nominees (Oz Adler, Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, Itay Maroz, Shahar Zadok) and 3 continuing directors (Ofer Haviv, Nir Nimrodi, Leon Y. Recanati).
- Continuing directors to serve a transition period of up to six months.
- 60-day standstill: Pure Capital withdraws tender offer notice; Evogene agrees not to issue shares or convertible securities (except employee grants).
- Special general meeting scheduled for November 10, 2026 to vote on director elections and the cooperation agreement.
- Mutual waivers and releases of all claims related to the AGM, demand letters, and the tender offer.
Financial Impact
Resolution of activist dispute removes overhang of a hostile tender offer at $0.55/share and costly litigation. The 60-day share issuance standstill caps near-term dilution risk.
Risk Factors
- Shareholder approval of the cooperation agreement is required; failure would terminate the agreement and could reignite the activist conflict.
- The 60-day standstill on share issuance is temporary; dilution risk resumes after that period.
- The transition period for continuing directors is only up to six months, creating potential for further board instability.
- No financial terms or operational commitments were disclosed — the agreement is purely governance-focused.
