PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 26, 2021
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is being provided to solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors (the Board
of Directors) of NeoGames S.A. (the Company, NeoGames, we, our or us) for use
at the 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders (the Annual General Meeting) to be held on May 26, 2021 (4:00 p.m. Luxembourg time, 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time) at the Company’s registered office: 5, rue de
Bonnevoie, L-1260 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Proxy Statement and copies of the Company’s annual accounts for the financial year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2020 (together, the Financial Statements), together with the annual report pursuant to Section 13 or 15 (d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for
the financial year ended December 31, 2020 (the Form 20-F), which shall also be considered as the Board of Directors’ report relating to the Financial Statements for purposes of the Luxembourg law on
commercial companies dated August 10, 1915, as amended and the Company’s approved statutory auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé), are available at https://ir.neogames.com/financials/sec-filings.
This Proxy Statement, together with the Convening Notice containing the agenda and the proxy card with a reply envelope, are
hereinafter referred to as the Proxy Materials.
Foreign Private Issuer
We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and as a result, we are not required to comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements.
How may the Proxy Materials be accessed?
We intend to mail the Proxy Materials on or about May 7, 2021 to all shareholders of our ordinary shares as of the Record Date. These
documents may also be obtained free of charge at the Company’s registered office in Luxembourg.
Who may vote?
Shareholders of record who held ordinary shares as of the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual General
Meeting. In addition, shareholders who, as of the Record Date, held ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee which is a shareholder of record of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, or which appears in the
participant list of a securities depository on that date, are considered to be beneficial owners of shares held in “street name.” These Proxy Materials are being forwarded to beneficial owners by the bank, broker or other nominee that is considered
the holder of record with respect to the Company’s ordinary shares. Beneficial owners have the right to direct how their shares should be voted and are also invited to attend the Annual General Meeting, but may not actually vote their shares in
person at the Annual General Meeting unless they first obtain a signed proxy from the record holder (that is, their bank, broker or other nominee) giving them the right to vote the shares. On the Record Date, 24,983,855 ordinary shares were issued
and outstanding.
Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on each of the matters presented to our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
What constitutes a quorum?
At any ordinary general meeting (including the Annual General Meeting), there is no quorum requirement.
What are broker non-votes and abstentions?
Broker non-votes occur when a broker holding ordinary shares in street name for a beneficial owner submits a proxy that votes the
ordinary shares on one or more proposals, but does not vote on one or more other proposals with respect to which the broker did not receive instructions from the beneficial owner about how to vote the ordinary shares and is unable to vote the
ordinary shares in its discretion in the absence of an instruction. An abstention occurs when a shareholder withholds such shareholder’s vote or holder’s vote on a particular matter by checking the “ABSTAIN” box on the proxy card.
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 General Meeting agenda that may be considered routine is Proposal No. 5 relating to the appointment of our statutory auditor for the period ending at the general meeting approving the annual accounts for the
financial year ending December 31, 2021; however, as this Proxy Statement is prepared in compliance with Luxembourg Law rather than the rules applicable to domestic U.S. reporting companies, we cannot be certain whether Proposal No. 5 will be
treated as a “routine” proposal and it is therefore important for a shareholder that holds ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee to instruct such bank, broker or other nominee how to vote its shares, if the shareholder wants its
shares to count for the proposals. Your broker will not be able to vote your ordinary shares with respect to any of the proposals or other matters considered at the Annual General Meeting, unless you have provided instructions to your broker. We
strongly encourage you to provide instructions to your broker to vote your ordinary shares and exercise your right as a shareholder.
How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon and how will abstentions and broker
non-votes be treated?

How can shareholders vote?
Registered Shareholders
If you are a shareholder of record (that is, you hold a share certificate that is registered in your name or you are listed as a
shareholder in the Company’s share register), you can submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card, which has or will be sent to you and which will be accessible at the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at https://ir.neogames.com/financials/sec-filings.
Please follow the instructions on the proxy card. If you provide specific instructions (by marking a box) with regard to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual General
Meeting, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. Furthermore, the persons
named as proxies in the enclosed proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual General Meeting.
Ballots will be passed out at the Annual General Meeting to anyone who wants to vote at the Annual General Meeting. If you choose to do so, please bring the enclosed proxy
card or proof of identification. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are held directly in your name, you may vote in person at the Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders Holding in “Street Name”
If you hold ordinary shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on your directing the bank, broker or other nominee to
vote the ordinary shares in accordance with the voting instructions on your voting instruction form. Please follow the instructions on the voting instruction form received from your bank, broker or nominee. You may also be able to submit voting
instructions to a bank, broker or nominee by phone or via the internet if your voting instruction form describes such voting methods. Please be certain to have your control number from your voting instruction form ready for use in providing your
voting instructions. 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 you want your shares to count for the proposal.
You may also vote in person at the Annual General Meeting. However, because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you
must first obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual General Meeting.
Even if you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance
so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual General Meeting.
What is the process for revocation of proxies?
A shareholder may revoke a proxy in one of the following ways: (i) by written notice of the revocation of the proxy delivered by mail to the Company at its offices at 10
Habarzel Street, Tel Aviv, 6971014, Israel, Attention: Mr. Raviv Adler, CFO, no later than 5:59 a.m. Luxembourg time on May 26, 2021, or to its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, by mail to 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn,
New York 11219, no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 25, 2021, canceling the proxy or appointing a different proxy, (ii) by written notice of the revocation of the proxy delivered at the Annual General Meeting to the chairman of the Annual
General Meeting or (iii) by attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting. Attendance at the Annual General Meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute revocation of a proxy.
3
If you are a registered shareholder, you may request a new proxy card by contacting our Investor Relations department by e-mail at
Ir@neogames.com. You should send any written notice or new proxy card to NeoGames S.A., c/o American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, by mail to 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11219 or to the Company at its offices at 10 Habarzel
Street, Tel Aviv, 6971014, Israel, Attention: Mr. Raviv Adler, CFO.
Any street name holder may change or revoke previously given voting instructions by contacting the bank or brokerage firm holding the
ordinary shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such bank or brokerage firm and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting. Your last voting instructions, prior to or at the Annual General Meeting, are the voting instructions that will be
taken into account.
Who will count the votes?
Our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC will receive and tabulate the proxies.
What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?
If you submit a proxy and direct the individual(s) named as proxies, on how to vote your shares, the individual(s) named as proxies
will vote your ordinary shares in the manner you indicate. If you submit a proxy but do not direct how your ordinary shares will be voted, the proxyholder will vote your shares “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director and “FOR” each of
the other proposals identified herein.
Will any other business be conducted at the Annual General Meeting?
It is not expected that any other matters will be brought before the Annual General Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly
presented, the individual(s) named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.
Who may attend the Annual General Meeting?
Only holders of our ordinary shares as of the Record Date or their legal proxy holders may attend the Annual General Meeting. All
holders of our ordinary shares planning to attend the Annual General Meeting in person should contact our Investor Relations department at Ir@neogames.com by 5:59 a.m. Luxembourg time, on May 26, 2021, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on May 25, 2021 to
reserve a seat. For admission, shareholders should come to the Annual General Meeting check-in area at least 15 minutes before the Annual General Meeting is scheduled to begin.
Registration will begin at 3:30 p.m. Luxembourg time and the Annual General Meeting will begin at 4:00 p.m. Luxembourg time.
No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices (including cell phones) or large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted in
the Annual General Meeting.
Registered Shareholders
To be admitted to the Annual General Meeting, you will need a form of photo identification. You will be admitted to the Annual General
Meeting only if we are able to verify your status as a registered shareholder by checking your name against the list of registered shareholders on the Record Date.
4
Shareholders Holding in “Street Name”
To be admitted to the Annual General Meeting, you will need a form of photo identification and you must also bring valid proof of
ownership of your ordinary shares on the Record Date. In order to vote at the Annual General Meeting you must bring a valid legal proxy from the holder of record.
If you hold your ordinary shares in street name through a bank or brokerage firm, a brokerage statement reflecting your ownership as
of the Record Date or a letter from a bank or broker confirming your ownership as of the Record Date is sufficient proof of ownership to be admitted to the Annual General Meeting.
The health and well-being of our shareholders is our top priority. In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the
related limitations on travel and large gatherings, we are taking precautionary measures in line with the guidance from public health authorities and therefore encourage you to vote by proxy or by submitting a vote electronically in accordance with
the instructions on your voting instructions form.
When will voting results be announced?
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual General Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the Company’s transfer agent and will be
published following the Annual General Meeting on a Form 6-K that will be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
Who will bear the costs of proxy solicitation?
The Company will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual General Meeting. 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 of 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 contractor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If retained for such services, the costs will be paid by the Company. Proxy cards must be received by the
tabulation agent (American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC), or delivered to our officers in Israel at 10 Habarzel Street, Tel Aviv, 6971014, Israel, Attention: Mr. Raviv Adler, CFO, no later than 5:59 a.m. Luxembourg time, on May 26, 2021,
11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on May 25, 2021, in order for such votes to be counted. Proxies delivered to the Company or to its transfer agent following such times will be presented to the chairperson of the Annual General Meeting and, at his discretion,
may be voted as specified in the instructions included in such proxies.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five (5) voting directors and one (1) non-voting director acting in her capacity as
observer. Our Articles of Association provide that our Board of Directors shall always be composed of at least three (3) and no more than nine (9) directors. Pursuant to our Articles of Association, our directors are appointed at the Annual General
Meeting that will determine the duration of their respective terms, which may not exceed six (6) years. In this context, the shareholders will be asked to approve the following resolution with respect to the appointment of the members of the Board of
Directors for the current financial year:
Proposed resolution: The Annual General Meeting hereby RESOLVES to appoint Mr. Aharon Aran, Mr. Mordechay (Moti) Malool (Malul), Mr. Barak Matalon, Mr. Laurent
Teitgen, Mr. John E. Taylor, Jr. and Ms. Lisbeth McNabb as directors of the Company for a term ending at the annual general meeting of the shareholders approving the annual accounts for the financial year ending December 31, 2021.
The following is a brief biography of each of the proposed nominees standing for election or re-election at the Annual General
Meeting:
Aharon Aran has served as member of our Board of Directors since September
2019. Mr. Aran served as the Chief Executive Officer of TMF Media, Omnicom Media Group-Israel office from 2007 until 2019, and has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Israeli Audience Research Board since August 2019. Mr. Aran currently
serves on the board of directors of Aspire and is a member of its audit committee. Mr. Aran holds a B.A. in Economics and an M.B.A. from Tel Aviv University in Israel. We believe Mr. Aran is qualified to serve
on our Board of Directors due to his history with the Company and experience as a director of Aspire Global Plc, a service provider in the iGaming industry.
Moti Malul has served as our Chief Executive Officer since October 2018
and as a member of our Board of Directors since January 2019. Prior to that, Mr. Malul served as our Executive Vice President of Sales and Business Development for three years. Prior to our spin-off from Aspire in 2014, Mr. Malul served in various
roles at Aspire for five years. Prior to joining Aspire, Mr. Malul served for over 12 years in key marketing and management positions in the telecommunications and internet industries, for companies such as Ericsson and Smile Media. Mr. Malul holds a
B.A. in Business Administration from Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and an M.B.A from Tel Aviv University in Israel. We believe Mr. Malul is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to his deep understanding of the Company’s business and
operations as a result of serving as the CEO of NeoGames S.A.
Barak Matalon, the co-founder of Aspire, has served as a member of our
Board of Directors since our spin-off from Aspire in 2014. Mr. Matalon currently serves on the board of directors of Lotym Holdings Ltd., Loty Holdings Ltd. and Aspire and is a member of Aspire’s remuneration committee. Mr. Matalon holds a B.A. in
Economics from the Academic College of Tel Aviv Jaffa in Israel. We believe Mr. Matalon is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to his history with the Company and experience from serving as a director of Aspire Global Plc, a service
provider in the iGaming industry.
Laurent Teitgen has served as a member of our Board of Directors since
April 2017. Mr. Teitgen currently serves on the board of directors of Ellomay Luxembourg Holdings S.à r.l., Linda S.A., Folia S.A., Lucas Investments S.A. and Agricultural Investment & Development S.A., and he is a partner at Fidelia S.A. Mr.
Teitgen is a resident of Luxembourg and previously held positions with BDO, Intertrust, and TASL (now Orangefield/Vistra). Mr. Teitgen holds a Bachelor degree in accounting and financial management with a specialization in accounting review from
Université de Lorraine, IUT Henri Poincaré. We believe Mr. Teitgen is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to his extensive experience as a director of multiple international companies.
John E. Taylor, Jr. has served as a member of our Board of Directors since November 2020. Mr. Taylor served as Chairman of the board of directors of Twin River Worldwide Holdings (NYSE: TRWH) from 2010 to 2016 and as Executive Chairman from 2017 to 2019. Mr.
Taylor was formerly the Chief Executive Officer and President of GameLogic, Inc., a provider of internet based games for the regulated gaming industry. Mr. Taylor also served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dreamport, the gaming
and entertainment subsidiary of GTECH Corporation, a then-NYSE listed company while also serving as a member of the Executive Management Committee of GTECH. Earlier in his career he served as a senior advisor to the Governor of Rhode Island. Mr.
Taylor currently serves as a Trustee of Johnson & Wales University and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Rhode Island College. We believe Mr. Taylor is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to his deep understanding of the
gambling and lottery industry resulting from his experiences as the Chairman of the board of directors of Twin River Worldwide Holdings; the Chief Executive Officer and President of GameLogic, Inc, and his role as a senior executive of GTECH
Corporation.
8
Lisbeth McNabb was appointed as a non-voting member in an observer
capacity of our Board of Directors in January 2021. Ms. McNabb currently serves on the board of directors, serves on the audit committee and is the former chair of audit committee of Nexstar Media Group (Nasdaq: NXST). Over the past 20 years, Ms.
McNabb has served in senior leadership roles with category-defining companies including match.com and Linux Foundation. Prior, she began her career in various finance and managerial roles at AT&T, American Airlines and Pepsico Frito-Lay. Ms.
McNabb holds a BS in Business from the University of Nebraska and an MBA from Southern Methodist University. We believe Ms. McNabb is qualified to serve on our Board of Directors due to her extensive strategy, analytics, operations, finance and
marketing experience in a wide range of industries, and leadership experience in digital and technology companies.

The re-election or election of each nominee for the Board of Directors requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes
validly cast on such matter by the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. In the case of an equality of votes, the resolution will fail.

Our independent directors receive compensation for service on our Board of Directors. Other directors, including directors who serve as officers of the Company, do not
receive additional compensation for service on our Board of Directors. Among the directors standing for election or re-election at the Annual General Meeting, only Mr. John E. Taylor Jr., our Chairman of the Board of Directors (board and committee

fees of $55,000 and equity compensation of 9,750 options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company, vesting over an eight month period commencing on the date of grant, with an exercise price per option equal to the Company’s share price at the

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our Articles of Association provide that the Board of Directors must be composed of at least three (3) members and no more than nine (9) members. Our Board of Directors
currently consists of five (5) voting directors and one (1) non-voting director acting in her capacity as observer. The size of the Board of Directors will be increased to six (6) voting directors at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting if
all director nominees named in this Proxy Statement are elected. Each director holds office for the term determined by the general meeting of the shareholders, but not exceeding six (6) years, or until his or her successor has been appointed. A
member of the Board of Directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by a resolution of the general meeting of the shareholders (and in accordance with the nomination rights as further set out in our Articles of Association).
Controlled Company Exemption
In addition to exemptions on which we may rely as a foreign private issuer, our founding shareholders beneficially own more than 50%
of the voting power of our shares eligible to vote in the election of directors, and we may therefore be able to rely on certain exemptions as a “controlled company” as set forth in the Nasdaq rules. Under these corporate governance standards, a
company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect to utilize exemptions from certain corporate governance standards, including the requirement (1) that a
majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) to have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that
our director nominations be made, or recommended to the full board of directors, by our independent directors or by a nominations committee that is composed entirely of independent directors and that we adopt a written charter or board resolution
addressing the nominations process. We utilize the exemption from the requirement to have a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors. In the event that we cease to be a “controlled company,” and to the extent we may not
rely on similar exemptions as a foreign private issuer, we will be required to comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods so long as our shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
Board Committee Composition
Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee. Each of our committees operates under a written charter that has been approved by our Board. You can access our current committee charters in the “Governance” section of our website located at
https://ir.neogames.com/governance/documents-and-charters. Information contained on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this document, and you should not consider information contained on that website to be part of this
document.
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. John E. Taylor, Jr. and Mr. Laurent Teitgen, with Mr. John E. Taylor, Jr. serving
as chair. Ms. Lisbeth McNabb is being nominated to be elected as a full voting member of our Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting. Subject to Ms. McNabb’s election, she will serve as a member of the Compensation Committee. Under SEC and
Nasdaq rules, there are heightened independence standards for members of our Compensation Committee, including a prohibition against the receipt of any compensation from us other than standard board member fees. Our Board of Directors has determined
that all of our Compensation Committee members (as well as Ms. McNabb) meet this heightened standard. The responsibilities of our Compensation Committee include:
|
|
• |
identifying, reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to executive officer compensation;
|
|
|
|
• |
analyzing the possible outcomes of the variable remuneration components and how they may affect the remuneration of our executive officers;

Jr. serving as chair. Ms. Lisbeth McNabb is being nominated to be elected as a full voting member of our Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting. Subject to Ms. McNabb’s election, she will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and will
chair the committee. Upon Ms. McNabb’s addition to the Audit Committee, Mr. Aran intends to resign from his position as an Audit Committee member. The Audit Committee consists (and will continue to consist upon the election of Ms. McNabb) exclusively
of members of our Board of Directors who are financially literate, and Mr. John E. Taylor, Jr. is considered an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. John E. Taylor, Jr., Mr. Laurent
Teitgen and Ms. Lisbeth McNabb meet the “independence” requirements set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee is governed by a charter that complies with Nasdaq rules. The responsibilities of our Audit Committee include:
|
|
• |
recommending the appointment of the independent auditor to the general meeting of shareholders;
|
|
|
|
• |
the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of any accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit services;
|
|
|
|
• |
pre-approving the audit services and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditor before the auditor is engaged to render such services;

annual and quarterly reports;

impact on our financial statements; and
|
|
|
|
• |

|
|
The Audit Committee held no meetings in 2020, as the Company’s initial public offering took place in November 2020.
