Notice
of ANNUAL and EXTRAORDINARY General Meeting of shareholders
to be

Notice is hereby given that an Annual and Extraordinary
General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of PolyPid Ltd. (“PolyPid” or the “Company”)
will be held on July 2, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Israel time at the Company’s office, located at 18 Hasivim Street, Petach Tikva 4959376,
Israel, for the following purposes:
| 1. | To re-elect Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, Certified Public
Accountants, as the independent registered public accountants of the Company, and to authorize the board of directors of the Company
to determine their compensation, until the next annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. |
| 2. | To re- elect eight members of the board of directors of the
Company and approve their compensation. |
| 3. | To approve an additional
option grant for non- employee members of the board of directors. |
| 4. | To approve an option
grant for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Dikla Czaczkes Akselbrad. |
| 5. | To approve an additional
milestone- based option grant for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Dikla Czaczkes Akselbrad. |
| 6. | To approve an extension of the exercise period for the vested

| 7. | To approve an increase of the total number of shares reserved

and Restated 2012 Share Option Plan (the “Option Plan”). |
| 8. | To discuss the Company’s financial statements for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. |
Our board of directors (the “Board of
Directors”) recommends that you vote in favor of the proposed resolutions, which are described in the attached proxy statement.
Shareholders of record at the close of business
on June 3, 2024 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, either in person or by appointing
a proxy to vote in their stead at the Meeting (as detailed below).
Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting
instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with Section 9 of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 regulations (proxy and positions
statements).
A form of proxy for use at the Meeting, as attached
to the proxy statement, together with a return envelope, will be sent to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value
(the “Ordinary Shares”). By appointing “proxies,” shareholders may vote at the Meeting whether or not they
attend. If a properly executed proxy in the attached form is received by the Company at least 4 hours prior to the Meeting, all of the
Ordinary Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form. Subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq
Stock Market, in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares represented by properly executed and received proxies will be voted
“FOR” all of the proposed resolutions to be presented at the Meeting for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR”.
Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) at any time before the deadline for receipt of proxies
or voting instruction form (as applicable) by filing with the Company (in the case of holders of Ordinary Shares) a written notice of
revocation or duly executed proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) bearing a later date.
If your shares are registered directly in your
name with our transfer agent, Equinity Trust Company, LLC, 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 Mr. Tal Vilnai, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company
and Orna Blum, Assistant Secretary and Legal Counsel of the Company, 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 and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation,
as the case may be. 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. Proposal No. 1 on the agenda of the Meeting is 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.

Sincerely, |

TO BE HELD ON JULY 2, 2024
The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the board
of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of PolyPid Ltd. (the “Company”) for use at the Company’s
annual and extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on July 2, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Israel
time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.
Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy
in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (the “Ordinary
Shares”) covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholders executing the proxy. In the absence of such directions,
and except as otherwise mentioned in this proxy statement, the Ordinary Shares represented thereby will be voted in favor of each of the
proposals described in this proxy statement.
Two or more shareholders present, personally or
by proxy, holding in the aggregate not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, shall constitute
a quorum for the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time the Meeting is convened a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand
adjourned until July 9, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Israel time (the “Adjourned Meeting”). At the Adjourned Meeting, if a quorum
is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for such meeting, any number of shareholders present personally or by proxy
shall be deemed a quorum, and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the Meeting was convened.
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as Ordinary Shares present for the purpose of determining a quorum.
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law, 5799-1999
(the “Companies Law”), Proposals No. 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 described hereinafter each require the affirmative vote
of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares of the Company amounting in the aggregate to
at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposals (a “Simple Majority”).
The vote for re-electing each of the directors as set forth in Proposal No. 2 shall be made separately.
Proposals No. 4 and 5 are subject to the fulfillment
of the voting requirement above and also one of the following additional voting requirements: (i) the majority of the shares that are
voted at the Meeting in favor of such Proposal, excluding abstentions, includes a majority of the votes of shareholders who are not controlling
shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the Proposal; or (ii) the total number of shares of the shareholders mentioned in
clause (i) above that are voted against such Proposal does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company (the
“Special Majority”).
For this purpose, “Personal Interest”
is defined under the Companies Law as: (1) a shareholder’s personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of the Company,
including (i) the personal interest of any of his or her relatives (which includes for these purposes foregoing shareholder’s spouse,
siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, and spouse’s descendants, siblings, and parents, and the spouse of any of the foregoing);
(ii) a personal interest of a corporation in which a shareholder or any of his/her aforementioned relatives serve as a director or the
chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of its issued share capital or its voting rights or has the right to appoint a director or chief
executive officer; and (iii) a personal interest of an individual voting via a power of attorney given by a third party (even if the empowering
shareholder has no personal interest), and the vote of an attorney-in-fact shall be considered a personal interest vote if the empowering
shareholder has a personal interest, and all with no regard as to whether the attorney-in-fact has voting discretion or not, but (2) excludes
a personal interest arising solely from the fact of holding shares in the Company.
For this purpose, a “controlling shareholder”
is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company’s activities (other than by means of being a director or office holder
of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if he or she holds or controls, by himself or together with others,
one half or more of any one of the “means of control” of a company; in the context of a transaction with an interested party,
a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in the company if no other shareholder holds more than 50% of the voting rights
in the company, is also presumed to be a controlling shareholder. “Means of control” is defined as any one of the following:
(i) the right to vote at a general meeting of a company, or (ii) the right to elect directors of a company or its chief executive officer.
Proposal 8 will not involve a vote by the shareholders
and accordingly there is no proposed resolution.
Shareholders wishing to express their position
on an agenda item for this Meeting may do so by submitting a written statement (a “Position Statement”) to the Company’s
offices at 18 Hasivim Street, Petach Tikva 495376, Israel. Any Position Statement received will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a Report on Form 6-K, and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website
at www.sec.gov. Position Statements should be submitted to the Company no later than June 22, 2024. A shareholder is entitled to contact
the Company directly and receive the text of the proxy card and any Position Statement. The Board of Directors’ response to the
Position Statement will be submitted no later than June 27, 2024.
One shareholder or more holding Ordinary Shares
which reflect 5% or more of the Company’s share capital and voting rights (239,863 shares) is entitled to examine the proxy and
voting material.
It is noted that there may be changes on the agenda
after publishing the Proxy, and there may be Position Statements which can be published. Therefore, the most updated agenda will be furnished
to the SEC on a Report on Form 6-K and will be made available to the public on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

PROPOSAL 3
TO APPROVE
AN ADDITIONAL OPTION GRANT FOR NON- EMPLOYEE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On May 2, 2024 and May 6, 2024, the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Board of Directors, respectively, approved
and recommend to the Company’s shareholders to approve an additional grant of 6,188 options to non-employee members of the Board
of Directors as part of their annual grant of options (the “Non-Employee Directors Options”).
The grant of the Non-Employee Directors Options
is subject to the re-election of the Company’s non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and their approval pursuant to Proposal
No. 2 hereof.
The Non-Employee Directors Options will be exercisable
at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the date of the Meeting, and will vest over
four quarters. When considering the Non-Employee Directors Options grant, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered
numerous factors, including, among others: (i) the position, responsibilities, background and experience of each of the non-employee members
of the Board of Directors; (ii) that the Non-Employee Directors Options granted to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors
reflect a fair and reasonable value for each of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors services, commitment and contribution
to the Company’s growth and achievements in the short and long term; (iii) that the grant of Non-Employee Directors Options to the
non-employee members of the Board of Directors is in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy; and (iv) that the grant
of Non-Employee Directors Options to the non-employee members of the Board of Directors will create a similarity of interests between
the Company’s shareholders and the non-employee members of the Board of Directors.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
also considered, among other things, the Company’s size and the nature of its operations, and reviewed various data and information
they deemed relevant, including comparative data regarding peer companies.
Accordingly, the Compensation
Committee and Board of Directors determined that the grant of Non-Employee Directors Options for non- employee members of the Board of
Directors is in the Company’s best interest.
The shareholders of the
Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, to
approve an additional Non-Employee Directors Options grant for non-employee members of the
Board of Directors, as set forth in the Proxy Statement.”
The approval of this
proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority.
The Board
of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.

has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since July 2022 and as a director since August 2022. From December 2016 to July
2022, Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad served as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
On May 2, 2024 and May
6, 2024, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, respectively, approved and recommend to the Company’s shareholders
to approve a grant of options to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad as part of an annual grant of options to all of the Company’s employees. To date,
the Company’s shareholders have not approved the option grant at a general meeting, and therefore the options were not granted to
Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad until now.
Under this grant, Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad will
be granted an amount of options to purchase up to 198,900 Ordinary Shares (the “CEO Options”) on the following terms:
| ● | Term
and Vesting Schedule- the CEO Options shall vest and become exercisable during a 4-year period as of May 6, 2024 (the “Vesting
Commencement Date”). Six point twenty five percent (6.25%) of the shares covered by the CEO Options shall vest at the end of
each quarter subsequent to the Vesting Commencement Date. |
| ● | Other
terms- the CEO Options are subject to such other terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s options agreement and the
provisions of the Option Plan for C-level officers, including the right to exercise vested options during a period of one year following
termination of employment. |
| ● | Exercise
Price- the CEO Options shall be exercisable at an exercise price of $4.64 per Ordinary Share, which equals the average closing price
of the Company’s Ordinary Shares over the 30 trading days prior to May 6, 2024. |
The CEO Options are granted
in accordance with the capital gain track of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, 1961.
When considering the CEO Options grant, the Compensation
Committee and Board of Directors considered numerous factors, including, among others: (i) the position, responsibilities, background
and experience of Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad; (ii) that the CEO Options granted to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad reflect a fair and reasonable value
for Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad’s services, commitment and contribution to the Company’s growth and achievements in the short and long
term; (iii) that the grant of CEO Options to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad is in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy; and
(iv) that the grant of CEO Options to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad will create a similarity of interests between the Company’s shareholders
and Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad.
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
also considered, among other things, the Company’s size and the nature of its operations, and reviewed various data and information
they deemed relevant, including comparative data regarding peer companies.
Accordingly, the Compensation
Committee and Board of Directors determined that the CEO Options grant for Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad is in the Company’s best interest.
The shareholders of the
Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, to
approve a CEO Options grant for Ms. Dikla Czaczkes
Akselbrad, as set forth in the Proxy Statement.”
The approval of this
proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority.
Please note that we consider
it highly unlikely that any of our shareholders is a controlling shareholder, or has a personal interest in this proposal. However, as
required under Israeli law, the enclosed form of proxy requires that you specifically indicate whether you are, or are not, a controlling
shareholder or have a personal interest in this proposal. Without indicating to this effect – we will not be able to count your
vote with respect to this proposal.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR on the
above proposal.
PROPOSAL

TO APPROVE
AN ADDITIONAL MILESTONE-BASED OPTION GRANT FOR THE COMPANY’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, MS. DIKLA CZACZKES AKSELBRAD
The
Company is currently enrolling patients in its ongoing SHIELD II phase 3 trial of D-PLEX100 for
the prevention of abdominal colorectal surgical site infections (the “Trial”). Unblinded
interim analysis is expected to occur in mid-2024 and top-line results are anticipated in the second half of 2024. The expected timing
for top-line results from the SHIELD II phase 3 trial and of the unblinded interim
analysis is based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs and projections, many of which,
by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Such expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith. However, there can
be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially
from what is expected.
On May 2, 2024 and May
6, 2024, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, respectively, approved and recommend to the Company’s shareholders
to approve an additional milestone-based grant of options to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad. To date, the Company’s shareholder have not
approved the option grant at a general meeting, and therefore the options were not granted to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad until now.
Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors
believe that a milestone-based grant of options is an effective tool to retain and incentivize our
Chief Executive Officer. It enables us to grant equity compensation to our Chief Executive Officer based on the achievement of predetermined
goals in order for the milestone-based grant to apply and be valid.
Under this grant, Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad will
be granted an amount of options to purchase up to 132,600 Ordinary Shares (the “CEO Milestone Options”) in the following
terms:
| ● | Term
and Vesting Schedule- the CEO Milestone Options shall vest and become exercisable during a 2-year period as of May 6, 2024 pursuant
to the following vesting schedule: |
| o | Upon interim analysis outcome of early stopping of the
Trial for efficacy (the “Triggering Milestone”): |
| ● | Eighteen point seventy five percent (18.75%) of the shares
covered by the CEO Milestone Options- immediate vesting. |
| ● | Eighteen point seventy five percent (18.75%) of the shares
covered by the CEO Milestone Options- vested 30 days from the Triggering Milestone. |
| ● | Eighteen point seventy five percent (18.75%) of the shares
covered by the CEO Milestone Options- vested 60 days from the Triggering
Milestone. |
| ● | Eighteen point seventy five percent (18.75%) of the shares
covered by the CEO Milestone Options- vested 90 days from the Triggering Milestone. |
| ● | Remaining twenty
five percent (25%) of the shares covered by the CEO Milestone Options- quarterly at the end of each subsequent quarter following the
last vesting date. |
Or
| o | Upon top- line results (primary endpoint) of the Trial with overall alpha level of up to (and including)
5% (the “Triggering Milestone”): |
| ● | Twenty percent (20%) of the shares covered by the CEO Milestone
Options- immediate vesting. |
| ● | Twenty percent (20%) of the shares covered by the CEO Milestone
Options- vested 30 days from the Triggering Milestone. |
| ● | Remaining sixty
percent (60%) of the shares covered by the CEO Milestone Options- quarterly at the end of each subsequent quarter following the last
vesting date. |
| ● | If
none of the Triggering Milestones take place, the CEO Milestone Options grant shall be void. |
| ● | Other
terms- the CEO Milestone Options are subject to such other terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s options agreement
and the provisions of the Option Plan for C-level officers, including the right to exercise vested options during a period of one year
following termination of employment. |
| ● | Exercise
Price- the CEO Milestone Options shall be exercisable at an exercise price of $4.64 per Ordinary Share, which equals the average
closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares during the 30 trading days prior to May 6, 2024. |
The CEO Milestone Options
are granted in accordance with the capital gain track of Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance, 1961.
When considering the CEO Milestone Options grant,
our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered numerous factors, including, among others: (i) the position, responsibilities,
background and experience of Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad; (ii) that the CEO Milestone Options granted to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad reflect a fair
and reasonable value for Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad’s services, commitment and contribution to the Company’s growth and achievements
in the short and long term; (iii) that the grant of CEO Milestone Options to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad is in accordance with the Company’s
compensation policy; and (iv) that the grant of CEO Milestone Options to Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad will create a similarity of interests
between the Company’s shareholders and Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad.
Accordingly, the Compensation
Committee and Board of Directors determined that the CEO Milestone Options grant for Ms. Czaczkes Akselbrad is in the Company’s
best interest.
The shareholders of the
Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, to
approve a CEO Milestone Options grant for Ms. Dikla Czaczkes Akselbrad, as set forth in the

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR on the
above proposal.

APPROVAL OF EXTENSION OF EXERCISE
PERIOD FOR VESTED OPTIONS FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF SERVICE OF MS. ANAT TSOUR SEGAL, FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY
According to the Company’s Option Plan, vested
options shall expire following the lapse of a three month period after termination of employment or service, unless exercised earlier.
Ms. Anat Tsour Segal, who served as a director of the Company for 15 years and resigned effective as of November 6, 2023, has asked for
an extension of such exercise period for 1,842 vested options from three months to twelve months following termination of service.
At a meeting of the Compensation Committee held
on November 2, 2023, the Compensation Committee reviewed and recommended, and the Board of Directors at its meeting held on November 6,
2023, subsequently approved, that Ms. Anat Tsour Segal’s 1,842 vested options shall expire upon the lapse of a twelve month period after
termination of her service as a director of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Option Plan, unless exercised earlier. Such
extension is within the boundaries of the Company’s compensation policy.
When considering the extension of the exercise
period for Ms. Tsour Segal’s 1,842 vested options, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors considered Ms. Tsour Segal’s
long-term dedicated service and contribution to the Company and the Board of Directors.
The shareholders of the
Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, to approve that Ms. Anat Tsour
Segal’s 1,842 vested options shall expire upon the lapse of a twelve months’ period after termination of her service as a director of
the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Option Plan, unless exercised earlier.”
The approval of this
proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority.
The Board
of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.

APPROVAL OF INCREASE OF TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES
RESERVED FOR GRANT AS INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS PURSUANT TO COMPANY’S U.S. SUBPLAN UNDER COMPANY’S OPTION PLAN
Generally,
the Company is not required by the Companies Law, or otherwise under applicable Israeli law, to approve the adoption, extension or
amendment of plans for the equity compensation of its employees, directors and other parties. However, in order for the Company to issue
options that qualify as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s
shareholders are required to approve an amendment to increase the total number of Ordinary Shares for grant as ISOs.
On
March 6, 2024, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company’s U.S. Subplan under the Option Plan (the
“SubPlan”), increasing the total number of Ordinary Shares for grant as ISOs pursuant to the SubPlan from 39,833 shares
to 300,000 Ordinary Shares, as reflected under Annex A attached hereto. Additionally, the amendment attached hereto as Annex
A clarifies that the Ordinary Shares reserved for grant as ISOs pursuant to the SubPlan shall not affect the number of
total Options reserved under the Plan.
Besides such amendment,
all other terms of the SubPlan will not change.
ISOs are a type of
option that, among other things, can be granted only to employees of a corporation and must have an exercise (or strike) price, which
is at least equal to the fair market value of an Ordinary Share (110% of the fair market value of an Ordinary Share, for grants made to
10% or more shareholders) on the date of grant, as determined in accordance with the SubPlan and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. ISOs
may confer a U.S. tax benefit. There are no tax implications when the ISOs are initially granted. Once the options are exercised,
the employee can either sell the shares immediately or wait to do so. However, the shares must be held for more than one year from
the date of exercise and two years from the date of grant for the difference between the fair market value on the date of exercise and
the exercise (or strike) price to be taxed at capital gains rates, rather than at ordinary income rates.
The Board of Directors
believes that the amendment is advisable in order to enable the Company to incentivize its U.S. based employees.
It is proposed that the
following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
“RESOLVED, to
approve the amendment of Company’s U.S. Subplan under the Option Plan, for U.S. tax
purposes, as set forth in Annex A to the Proxy Statement.”
The approval of the above
proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority.
The Board of Directors
recommends a vote FOR the approval of the proposed resolution.
