Dear Sir and Madam,

Re: Immediate Report on Convening a Special General Assembly for the Company's Shareholders

In accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), with the Securities (Periodic and Immediate Reports) Regulations, 5730-1970 (the "Reports' Regulations"), with the Companies Regulations (Voting in Writing and Position Statements), 5765-2005 (the "Voting in Writing Regulations"), and with the Companies (Notice and Ad on General Assembly and Type Assembly in a Public Company and Adding a Topic to the Agenda) Regulations, 5760-2000 (the "Notice and Ad Regulations"), a notice is hereby given concerning the convening of a Special General Assembly of the Company, which shall convene on Thursday, January 4, 2024 at 17:00, at the Company's Headquarters located at 53 HaShalom Road, Giv'atayim, 20th floor ("Company's Headquarters"), whose agenda is the topic detailed in this report as following.

1. The topic on the agenda and a summary of the proposed decisions:

1.1. Approval of an updated Remuneration Policy for the Company office holders

  • 1.1.1. The Company's Proposed Remuneration Policy was adopted in accordance with the decision of the General Assembly of the Company's shareholders dated October 20, 2020, and amended on January 5, 2023, and August 2, 2023. For details regarding the Proposed Remuneration Policy by the Company, see Appendix A to the meeting convention report dated June 28, 2023 (Reference No.: 2023-01-060334) ("Current Remuneration Policy").
  • 1.1.2. The Compensation Committee of the Company held a discussion in connection with the Current Remuneration Policy for the Company's office holders and recommended to the Company's BOD to approve the aforementioned Remuneration Policy. Following this recommendation, the Company's BOD approved, unanimously, on November 28, 2023, the version of the Proposed Remuneration Policy attached as Appendix A to this Report ("Proposed Remuneration Policy").
  • 1.1.3. The Proposed Remuneration Policy brought to the approval of the Assembly is adapted to the Company and its work plans, to the experience gained in the Company and the current needs of the Company, as well as the challenges it faces during this period. The Proposed Remuneration Policy has been amended in accordance with the provisions and limitations of the applicable law, including the Compensation of Officers of Financial Corporations Law (Special Approval and Non Allowance of Expenses for Tax Purposes for Irregular Compensation), 5776-2016 ("Compensation in Financial Corporations Law"); the Companies Law; and the provisions of the Institutional Entities Circular 2019-9-6 regarding the "amendment of the provisions of the Consolidated Circular Part 1, Title 5, Chapter 5, titled "Compensation", dated July 11, 2019 ("The Consolidated Circular").
  • 1.1.4. It is proposed to approve the validity of the Proposed Remuneration Policy from January 1,

2024, for a period of 3 years.

  • 1.1.5. The main changes in the Proposed Remuneration Policy compared to the Current Remuneration Policy are as follows:
    • 1.1.5.1. Applicability of the Consolidated Circular: Several clarifications were made in the Proposed Remuneration Policy which are intended to clarify that the restrictions of the Consolidated Circular will only apply to compensation in entities in the Company Group that are subject to the Consolidated Circular.
    • 1.1.5.2. Annual grant:

Regarding the annual grant, several changes were made, as follows -

  • A. The Company indices and/or the personal indices, which will also include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indices in the annual grant.
  • B. The definition of the "Share Yield Index" has been updated, so that the comparison regarding this index will be to the weighted yield of the insurance companies (apart from The Phoenix) which are included in the "TA-Insurance" index.
  • C. The definition of "ROE on the Company's Capital Index" has been updated, so that this index will refer to the normalized total ROE on the Company's weighted equity, as will appear in the reports and immediate reports of the Company.
  • D. The definition of "ROE in Relation to Other Insurance Companies Index" has been updated, so the index will examine the difference between the Company's ROE and the median ROE of the other four major insurance companies in Israel. "ROE" is defined as the annual total profit in relation to equity, when the yield calculation will be performed by means of a three-year weighted measurement.
  • E. The annual grant cap is set in the Proposed Remuneration Policy as part of an overall cap for all variable compensation (including the options and additional grants), thus the cap is the cap according to the Consolidated Circular (up to 100% of the fixed compensation) instead of the amount of salaries that was customary until now.
  • 1.1.5.3. Equity based compensation:
    • A. The cap of the value of the equity based compensation at the time of its award is set forth in the Proposed Remuneration Policy as part of an overall cap for all variable compensation (including the annual grant and other grants), thus the cap is the cap according to the Consolidated Circular, instead of the amount of salaries that was customary until now.
    • B. A mechanism was added to determine the minimum exercise price in the case of granting options to the Company's shares, so that it will not be less than the closing price of the Company's share on the trading day preceding the day of approval of the award by the Company's BOD. It was further determined that the BOD would be entitled, under certain circumstances, to reprice the options (including by way of cancellation and reassignment) only that the exercise price of options for the Company's shares will not be less than the price indicated above.
    • C. A cap was added to the exercise period of options for the Company's shares,

so it will not exceed 5 years from the vesting date.

D. In the Proposed Remuneration Policy an option was added to determine that the performance conditions of the equity based compensation will be the performance conditions used for the annual grant or the performance conditions established regarding the deferred portion of the variable compensation (compliance with the required equity and compliance with the financial standards of the Company's Bonds Series 6).

1.1.5.4. Spread and payment of the variable component :

  • A. It was clarified in the Proposed Remuneration Policy that upon termination of employment in circumstances of death or disability/loss of working capacity, there will be no obligation to defer variable compensation payments.
  • B. As part of the threshold conditions for eligibility for the deferred component of the variable compensation each calendar year, the condition of meeting the financial standards of the Company's bonds has been updated, from the terms of Bonds Series 5 to the terms of Bonds Series.

1.1.5.5. Compensation for directors:

  • A. For the purpose of tightening and supervising the BOD over the management of the Company, a provision was added to the Proposed Remuneration Policy, according to which the BOD may, in special cases, appoint a team or an ad hoc committee of one or more directors who will accompany and supervise the operation of the Company's management regarding a particular project or issue. A director's participation in the meetings of such a team or committee may entitle the director to be compensated for participation in such meetings; and
  • B. Regarding foreign directors coming to BOD meetings in Israel, an option was added for them to receive a refund for ancillary services related to a business flight.
  • 1.1.6. Manner of implementation of the Current Remuneration Policy Below is a breakdown of the connections between the caps established in the Current Remuneration Policy and the compensations actually paid to the CEO and the Chairperson of the BOD for the year 2022:
    • 1.1.6.1. Chairperson of the BOD There is a correlation of 100% between the compensation (fixed compensation only) paid to the current Chairperson of the BOD for the year 2022, and the annual fixed compensation cap determined in the Remuneration Policy, which is adjusted to the Chairperson of the BOD partly position.
    • 1.1.6.2. The Company's CEO There is a 100% correlation between the compensation paid to the CEO for the year 2022, and the annual compensation cap determined in the Remuneration Policy.

1.1.7. The names of the directors who have a personal interest in the Proposed Remuneration Policy

In light of the fact that the Proposed Remuneration Policy determines, inter alia, the directors' salary, then all the directors of the Company and all members of the Compensation Committee may have a personal interest in approving the Proposed Remuneration Policy, as far as the compensation provision for directors is concerned.

In accordance with the aforesaid and in light of the provision of Article 278(b) of the Companies Law, during the discussions of the Compensation Committee and the Company's BOD, all directors of the Company will be allowed to be present.

  • 1.1.8. The recommendation of the Compensation Committee and the approval of the Company's BOD were mainly based on the following reasons:
    • 1.1.8.1. The Proposed Remuneration Policy was determined according to the considerations detailed in the Consolidated Circular (as applicable) and to Article 267B of the Companies Law, and it includes, inter alia, a reference to the matters specified in Part A of the First Schedule to the Companies Law, and includes provisions as detailed in Part B of this Schedule.
    • 1.1.8.2. In addition to the main targets of the Remuneration Policy, the Proposed Remuneration Policy was designed based on several principles, similar to the Current Remuneration Policy: (1) Creating a structured scale to determine the variable component of the compensation of the office holder in the Company; (2) Strengthening the connection between the scope of the annual grant and the achievement of the Company's targets and personal performance; (3) Creating diversity among office holders; and (4) Simplifying the compensation mechanism.
    • 1.1.8.3. The Proposed Remuneration Policy creates a link between the Company's targets and the compensation paid to the office holders, and thus creates a proper set of incentives for office holders, considering, inter alia, the scope, characteristics and complexity of the Company's business activity, its relative size in the economy, its risk management policy, and the targets that the Company strives to achieve from time to time. The Proposed Remuneration Policy will also allow the Company's management a reasonable margin of discretion for the purpose of determining the compensation conditions of the Company's office holders and some flexibility to deal with special circumstances, insofar as there are any. In light of the complexity of the Company's and the Group's activities and in order to allow the Company's BOD real-time monitoring and control over complex projects, a provision was added, according to which the BOD may appoint an ad hoc team or committee, who will accompany and audit the operation of the Company's management, as detailed in Section 1.1.5.5 above.
    • 1.1.8.4. The Proposed Remuneration Policy maintains a proper balance between the fixed and variable components, according to the contribution of the officer holders to the advancement of the Company's long-term targets, and it serves the Company by tying the variable compensation offered to the Company's financial results and the office holder's contribution to the Company's results. In addition, in view of the fact that the Compensation in Financial Corporations Law applies to the Company and its office holders, the Proposed Remuneration Policy seeks to increase the flexibility within the variable compensation component.
    • 1.1.8.5. The Company sees great importance in the human factor at all levels of the Company, and in particular in the office holders who are at the managerial level of the Company. The Proposed Remuneration Policy will allow the Company to preserve its capabilities and competitive position by retaining its senior managers and in recruiting senior managers capable of leading the Company to long-term business success, to achieve the Company's targets, and also allows for the

creation of proportional compensation for each office holder, in accordance with the scope of his position, his skills and experience in relation to market conditions.

  • 1.1.8.6. The Compensation Committee and the BOD believe that the Proposed Remuneration Policy will help create a difference between the compensation of the office holders according to their personal performance, in order to strengthen the connection between the performance of the office holders and the compensation paid to them. In light of the great importance that the Company gives to the ESG sector and its importance to the various stakeholders in the Company, the Proposed Remuneration Policy states that social or personal targets will be set in connection with the ESG sector.
  • 1.1.8.7. The Proposed Remuneration Policy anchors threshold conditions, and in the absence of their existence, no annual grant will be awarded to office holders. The threshold conditions take into account long-term risk management parameters as well as stability.
  • 1.1.8.8. The Compensation Committee and the BOD believe that updating the performance conditions and the definitions included therein, which determine the eligibility for the annual grant, the equity based compensation and the deferred variable compensation in the Proposed Remuneration Policy, complies with the Company's plans and targets and will helps promote the Company's targets and achieve them.
  • 1.1.8.9. In accordance with the Proposed Remuneration Policy, office holders may be entitled to annual performance-based variable equity compensation, which will be granted in the form of share-based equity compensation instruments. The Compensation Committee and the BOD believe that the granting of variable equity based compensation through exercisable options for the Company's shares or to the shares of the Company's subsidiaries complies with the considerations listed above, and can retain the office holders in the Company for the long term and encourage maximizing value to the shareholders.
  • 1.1.8.10. The Proposed Remuneration Policy includes the possibility of reducing or eliminating the variable component in special cases and establishes conditions and circumstances for returning a paid variable grant, inter alia, in circumstances of significant deviations from the compliance provisions. The Proposed Compensation Policy is for the benefit of the Company and it complies with its corporate strategy in a way that suits the existing reality in the market where the Company operates, and it will assist in promoting the Company's targets and its work plan.
  • 1.1.8.11. As part of examining the Proposed Remuneration Policy, the average and median salary data (2022) were presented to the Compensation Committee and the BOD for all The Phoenix's Group employees (who are not Key Office Holders, as the term is defined in the Consolidated Circular - hereinafter in this section: "Key Office Holders") without service center employees, as well as the figure for all The Phoenix's Group employees (who are not Key Office Holders) including service center employees. Since a significant part of the service center employees do not reach the scope of a full-time position in practice, to the best of the understanding of the Compensation Committee and the BOD, the figure without service center employees more correctly reflects the average and median salary of

the Group's employees. The ratio between the compensation caps of Key Office Holders compared to the average and median compensation of all Group employees, including service center employees, is as follows - CEO – 13 and 16.2 compared to the average and the median respectively, and other Key Office Holder - 10 and 12.5 compared to the average and the median respectively. The Compensation Committee and the BOD believe that the ratios are reasonable and the said relations do not harm the labor relations in the Company.

1.1.8.12. The compensation caps in the Proposed Remuneration Policy were determined, inter alia, on the basis of a comparison work conducted by an external party independent of the Company, which examined caps of companies selected for the purpose of comparison according to the set of characteristics of their activity branch of activity, market value, volume of revenues and operational complexity. It should be noted that in any case, the compensation will not exceed the cap allowed according to the Compensation in Financial Corporations Law1 . In view of the above, and after the regulatory limitations for the Consolidated Circular (as applicable) and the Companies Law have been taken into account, the Compensation Committee and the Company's BOD reached an opinion that the Proposed Remuneration Policy is reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and is for the benefit of the Company, and it matches its corporatewide strategy in a way that is appropriate to the existing reality in the market where the Company operates, as well as the law applicable to the Company, and it will help promote the Company's targets and its work plan, and therefore they recommend to the General Assembly to approve it.

Summary of the proposed decision - "Approve the Proposed Remuneration Policy for office holders in the Company, in the version attached as Appendix A to this report, effective as of January 1, 2024".

  • (4) Key Position Employees who are Officers;

  • (6) The other employees at the Company who are not listed among one of the groups noted in this Section 4 above.

5. The Main Concept and the Company's Remuneration Policy

5.1. The overall remuneration concept

The overall remuneration of the Officers and employees at the Company may be composed of several components so that each component rewards the Officer and employee for a different component of his contribution to the Company:

  • 5.1.1.Fixed component2 - this component includes two sub-components: [a] basic wage (salary); and [b] fringe benefits, and it shall constitute a significant part of the total remuneration of a Key Position Employee.
    • ✓ The basic wage (salary) is intended to reward the Officer for the time he invests in performing his duties for the Company and for performing the position's tasks on a daily basis. The basic wage expresses the Officer's skills (such as: his experience, the know-how he brings to the position, the expertise he had gained within the domain of occupation, his education, the professional certifications he had gained, etc.) on the one hand, and on the other hand the requirements of the position and the authority he holds. The amount of this wage shall be determined, also noting the basic wages customary in the industry for similar position holders and it expresses also the need for recruiting and retaining in the Company's senior positions highly skilled and experienced Officers.

2 Should an officer be employed in the form of a service provider (rather than an employee), the fixed relevant components, as specified in this remuneration policy, shall be translated into the equivalent management fees' values.

  • ✓ The fringe benefits, some of which stem from the provisions under law (such as: social contributions, vacation days, sick-days, convalescence pay, etc.), some stemming from the customary practices in the labor market (such as savings in a continued education fund) and some are other customary fringe benefits such as - car, phone, communication services, newspapers and professional literature and the like. Additionally, the Officers may be entitled to reimbursement of travel expenses, accommodation and per diem expenses, pursuant to the Company's procedures (a limit has been established in the Company's procedures in this regard).
  • 5.1.2.Varying component this component may include a performance dependent component, cash bonus/es and/or other varying equity compensation:
    • Cash bonus/es these components are designed to reward the Officer in the short-term for his achievements and contribution in obtaining the Company's objectives during the period for which the varying remuneration is paid.
    • Equity compensation is intended to link between the yielding gained by shareholders as expressed in the increase of the Company's share value over time and the remuneration granted to the Company's Officers. This remuneration establishes alignment of interests among the Officers and shareholders and assists in forming motivation and retention of Key Position Employees in the Company.

5.2. The Ratio between the Varying Components and the Fixed Components

  • 5.2.1. In determining the overall remuneration of the Company's employees, the ratio between the fixed components and the varying components of the remuneration shall be taken into account. The examination shall be conducted considering the employee's position, expertise, skills, seniority, responsibility and performance, as well as the need to motivate conduct supporting the Company's risk management framework and long-term financial stability, and this while examining the reasonability of granting such also relative to that customary in the market.
  • 5.2.2. Subject to the Consolidated Circular, in the case of a Key Position Employee, the annual rate of the varying component shall not exceed 100% of the annual fixed component cost, unless the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have determined that there are exceptional circumstances justifying so, and special reasons have been recorded in this matter. Where such exceptional circumstances take place, the rate of the varying component shall not exceed 200% of the annual fixed component cost. For the purposes of this Section only: "Key Position Employee" except for CEO; "Exceptional Circumstances" - circumstances regarding a one-time business event that is not repeated annually, and which do not apply to a wide group of Key Position Employees.

  • 5.2.3. As a rule, the ratio between the varying remuneration and the cost of the fixed remuneration regarding an Officer or Key Position Employee in risk management, control and inspection functions as well as various supporting functions ("Control and Supervision Functions") will tend to the benefit of the fixed remuneration compared to this ratio for an Officer or Key Position Employee in business functions.
  • 5.3. The Company shall not bear the expenses of employment of any of its employees or Key Position Employees due to his service in office at another corporation, including office in another corporation that is part of the investors' group the Company belongs to.
  • 5.4. The Company shall bear the expenses of employment of any of its employees or other Key Position Employee depending on the scope of the position, the authorizations and liabilities of such, and subject to the limitations under the Consolidated Circular. 3
  • 5.5. The Company shall ensure that any employee or Key Position Employee in it will not obtain any remuneration in respect of his service in office in the Company companies of the Group that are subject to the provisions of the Consolidated Circular from another party, including from the Company's controlling shareholder or a non-controlling significant holder in the Company, all subject to the provisions of the Consolidated Circular to the extent applicable.

3 Meaning, during service in office of an employee or key position employee in a number of institutional entities that are part of a group of investors, each institutional entity in the group shall be required to bear the cost of employment of that employee or Key Position Employee according to the scope of the position, authorizations and liabilities at that institutional entity, and subject to the limitations under the Consolidated Circular.
