Immediate report regarding the change or cancellation of a buyback plan prior to its completion

Regulation 31L(b) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970

Following the immediate report regarding the buyback plan, reference number: 2024-01-012186, dated: January 31, 2024

The change to the buyback plan is as follows:

The effect of the change or cancellation on
the details provided:
Increasing the amount of the total cost of the "2024 Plan" (originally
NIS 100 million) with an additional NIS 100 million, so that the total
cost of the plan will be up to NIS 200 million.
Has the Company started implementing the
buyback plan:
Yes
Start date of execution of the buyback plan: April 10, 2024
The board of directors'
reasons for
changing or canceling the buyback plan
prior to its completion:
1.
Currently, the Company has utilized a total of approximately NIS
91 million from the buyback plan approved on January 31, 2024
("2024 Plan"), and accordingly, the Company has a total of
approximately NIS 9 million left from the 2024 plan to be utilized
until the buyback plan expires on January 31, 2025.
2.
On June 5, 2024, the Company's board of directors decided to
update the 2024 Plan in such a way that an additional amount of
up to NIS 100 million will be added to the total cost of the existing
buyback plan, without changing the end date of the period set for
the existing buyback plan, that is, until January 31,
2025. After the
aforementioned change, the total cost of the plan will be up to NIS
200 million.
3.
The price at which the Company's shares are traded, as of the date
of the decision, constitutes a worthy business and economic
opportunity for the Company, and the Company has the financial
and cash flow capabilities to carry out the buyback plan within the
2024 Plan which is updated from time to time. In addition, the
purchase of the Company's shares is a suitable alternative for
using the excess capital of the Company, and the execution of the
plan does not materially affect the Company's financial situation.
4.
The Company complies with the distribution tests, as defined in
article 302(a) of the Companies Law, 5759-1999, and there is no
reasonable fear that the 2024 Plan will impede the Company from
meeting its existing and expected liabilities upon their due date.
As part of the examination of compliance with the distribution
tests, the Company's board of directors examined, inter alia, the
projected cash flow for the coming years, the sources of liquidity

and the level of leverage of the Company;

5.
Also, in the opinion of the board of directors, there is no
reasonable fear that the buyback plan will result in a violation of
the Company's commitments to its creditors, including the
violation of its commitments towards its bondholders. In addition,
the
implementation of the plan will not harm the Company's
compliance with its financial liabilities to its bondholders.
The effect of the total cost following the
change or cancellation of the buyback plan:
200,000,000
The amount of securities purchased as part
of the buyback plan until the date of change
or cancellation:
2,345,220
The tax implications following the change
or cancellation of the buyback plan on the
Company and the holders of the securities:
The Company assesses that the purchase of the shares is not expected
to create a tax liability for the Company.
The Company has no information regarding the possible tax effects of
the 2024 Plan on its shareholders.
