The Report of the Board of Directors of The Phoenix Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter, "The Phoenix Holdings" or the "Company" or the Corporation") as of March 31, 2022, outlines the principal changes in the Company's operations in the period from January through March 2022 (hereinafter - the "Reporting Period").
The report was prepared in accordance with the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. With regard to the insurance, pension, and provident fund operations of the group, the Report was prepared pursuant to the Supervision of Insurance Business Regulations (Reporting), 1998, and in accordance with the directives issued by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority (hereinafter - the "Supervisor" or the "Commissioner"). The report was prepared assuming that the reader also has at his/her disposal the Company's full 2021 periodic report (hereinafter - the "Periodic Report").
The Report of the Board of Directors is an integral part of the quarterly report, and the quarterly report should be read in its entirety, as a single unit (hereinafter - the "Financial Report" or the "Financial Statements").
The controlling shareholder of the Company is Belenus Lux S.à.r.l. (hereinafter - "Belenus") which is held by Centerbridge Partners LP and Gallatin Point Capital LLC (hereinafter - the "Funds"). For further details regarding the holding stakes and structure, please see Section 1.1 under "Description of the Corporation's Business" in the 2021 Periodic Report.

The group is engaged in the fields of insurance, investment management, holding of insurance agencies, provision of credit and other financial services, including the setting up and sale of alternative products. The group manages approx. NIS 370 billion and is considered to be one of the five largest insurance and finance groups in Israel. The Company operates in the field of insurance through The Phoenix Insurance Company; in the field of asset management, the Company operates through The Phoenix Pension and Provident Fund Ltd., The Phoenix Investments Ltd., and Excellence Investments Ltd.; in the field of holding of insurance agencies, the Company operates through The Phoenix Agencies 1989 Ltd.; in the field of credit provision, the Company operates through Gama Management and Clearing Ltd.
Changes in the risk-free interest rate curve and capital market affect The Phoenix Insurance's assets, liabilities, financial performance, and solvency ratio. The Company manages the interest risks of all of its assets and liabilities, and therefore reviews the exposure jointly. During the reporting period, there were slumps in financial markets in Israel and across the world, and the risk-free interest rate curve increased. The effect of the increase in the riskfree interest rate curve offset the slumps in capital markets in the reporting period. During the period from reporting date through the financial statements publication date, slumps in financial markets in Israel and across the world continued; on the other hand, there was a significant increase in the risk-free interest rate curve, inflation and inflation expectations in Israel and globally. For further details regarding changes in the interest rate curve and their effect, please see Note 41(5) to the financial statements included in the 2021 Periodic Report, and Note 7B and 8E to the Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the Company updated the targets of the multi-year strategic plan. For further details, please see Section 4 below and Section 4 to the Report of the Board of Directors in the 2021 Periodic Report.

According to the update, the rate of dividend will not change (will not be lower than 30% of the Company's distributable comprehensive income as per its financial statements in a relevant year); however, the Company will take steps to distribute a dividend twice a year:
Interim dividend at the discretion of the Board of Directors on the approval date of the Financial Statements for the second quarter of each calendar year;

The Phoenix Insurance is subject to the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime in accordance with the provisions of Circular 2020-1-15 of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") - "Amendment to the Consolidated Circular concerning Implementation of a Solvency II-Based Economic Solvency Regime for Insurance Companies" (hereinafter - the "Economic Solvency Regime"), which was published on October 14, 2020. The Economic Solvency Regime is a regulatory directive that regulates capital requirements and risk management processes among insurance companies. The Economic Solvency Regime sets a standard model for calculating eligible capital and the regulatory solvency capital requirement, with the aim of bringing insurance companies to hold buffers to absorb losses arising from the materialization of unexpected risks to which they are exposed. The solvency ratio is the ratio between an insurance company's economic shareholders' equity recognized for solvency purposes and the required capital.
The Company opted for the alternative provided by the Economic Solvency Regime regarding the transitional provisions, whereby the economic capital may be increased by gradually deducting from the insurance reserves until 2032 (hereinafter - the "Deduction during the Transitional Period"). With regard to the Deduction during the Transitional Period, a letter was addressed to insurance companies managers titled "Principles for calculating Deduction during the Transitional Period in the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime" (hereinafter - the "Letter of Principles"). Pursuant to the Letter of Principles, the Deduction during the Transitional Period shall be calculated by dividing insurance policies issued through December 31, 2016, into homogeneous risk groups. The aforesaid deduction shall be calculated as the difference between insurance reserves (retention) as per the economic balance sheet, including the risk margin attributed thereto (net of the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of designated bonds) and the insurance reserves (retention) as per the Financial Statements. This difference shall be deducted on a linear basis until December 31, 2032. The deduction balance at each reporting date (hereinafter the "Deduction Value During the Transitional Period") shall be proportionate to the expected increase in the solvency ratio calculated excluding expedients during the Transitional Period. In accordance with the provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the Deduction during the Transitional Period as of December 31, 2021, was recalculated two years after it was calculated for the first time. The Company obtained the Commissioner's approval to recalculate the Deduction Amount as of December 31, 2021. For more information, see Section 2A(2) to the Company's Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2021.
The Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2021, was published at the same time as the Financial Statements as of the first quarter, on May 31, 2022, and was prepared and presented in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1, Part 4, Section 5 of the Consolidated Circular, according to Circular 2020-1-17 (hereinafter - the "Disclosure Provisions"). In accordance with the Consolidated Circular, the economic solvency ratio report in respect of the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first periodic report published after the calculation date.
Set forth below are details regarding the economic solvency ratio as published in the latest economic solvency ratio report published by The Phoenix Insurance. The meaning of the terms in this section is the same as in Appendix B to Chapter 2 in Part 2 of Section 5 of the Consolidated Circular - "Economic Solvency Regime".

The Company's policy is to have a solid capital base to ensure its solvency and ability to meet its liabilities to policyholders, to preserve the Company's ability to continue its business activity such that it is able to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company is subject to capital requirements set by the Commissioner.
On October 27, 2020, The Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors set a minimum economic solvency ratio target and target range based on Solvency II. The economic solvency ratio target range, within which the Company seeks to be during and at the end of the Transitional Period, taking into account the Deduction during the Transitional Period and its gradual reduction is 150%-170%.
The minimum economic solvency ratio target, taking into account the transitional provisions, is set at 135% while the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the Transitional Period is set at 105% set to reach 135% at the end of the Transitional Period according to the Company's capital plan. On November 29, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors increased the minimum economic solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the Transitional Period by 3 percentage points - from the 105% rate a 108% rate as of June 30, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company meets the set capital target. It is hereby clarified that the aforesaid does not guarantee that the Company will meet the set target at all times.
According to the letter published by the Commissioner, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the transitional provisions and subject to the solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. The aforesaid ratio shall be calculated without the relief granted in respect of the original difference attributed to the acquisition of the provident funds and management companies1 . In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner.
The following are data as published in the latest economic solvency ratio report published by The Phoenix Insurance, about the economic solvency ratio calculated without taking into account the transitional provisions and the solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors, as required in the letter referred to above. As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, this ratio is higher than the target set by the Board of Directors.

On March 28 2022, The Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approved the distribution of a NIS 500 million dividend (this distribution was taken into account in the solvency ratio as of December 31 2021 as described above) based on the audited solvency ratio report as of December 31 2020, and on the Company's estimate of the solvency ratio as of December 31 2021. These results that were integrated into a revised capital management plan indicated that the Company meets the minimum capital target set by the Board of Directors, which is 108% net of the transitional provisions and meets the 150%-170% target range, in which the Company seeks to be during and after the Transitional Period, given the Deduction During the Transitional Period and its gradual reduction. Therefore, the Company met the requirements of the letter published by the Commissioner in October 2017 regarding the restrictions on dividend distribution.
Changes in the linked shekel risk-free yield curve affect the Company's economic solvency ratio, especially in the mid- to long-terms, affect the Company's economic solvency ratio. During the last quarter of 2021, there was a substantial decrease in the risk-free linked interest rate curve, that had an adverse effect on The Phoenix Insurance's solvency ratio. On the other hand, during the first quarter of 2022 and until the publication of the report, there was a substantial increase in the risk-free linked interest rate curve, that may have a positive effect on The Phoenix Insurance's solvency ratio.
During the period between the calculation date and the publication date of the solvency ratio report there was a significant increase in risk-free interest, which is expected to have a positive effect on the Company's capital surplus and solvency ratio.
However, the economic solvency ratio is also sensitive to a wide range of other effects, including equity markets in Israel and across the world, which suffered significant slumps in this period, and the Consumer Price Index that increased during this period, and are expected to have a negative effect on the Company's capital surpluses and solvency ratio.

For the results of the sensitivity tests of economic solvency ratio to various risk factors, including sensitivity to interest rates, see Section 8 to the Company's Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2021.
Following are material regulatory provisions published during the reporting period and thereafter, which are not included in the 2021 Report on the Corporation's Business. For further details regarding additional material regulatory provisions published during the reporting period, see Section 4.1.1 to the 2021 Report on the Corporation's Business.
4 The risk-free linked interest rate curves were taken from Fair Spread Ltd. To calculate the solvency ratio, the Company takes into account other components in addition to the riskfree interest rate.
Set forth are the key points of the reform: (1) a uniform market structure was decided upon with an underlying uniform policy to which various riders were added, whose fixed structure was defined in a circular; (2) it was decided that the sale of additional products beyond the basic policy will only be allowed if the policyholder holds a basic health insurance policy with any insurance company, and not necessarily with the company from which the policyholder wishes to purchase the additional health insurance products; (3) as part of the process of selling a policy covering surgical procedures in Israel, the marketing entity was required to disclose the deductible amount; (4) the sale of overlapping insurance in individual indemnity health insurance products was prohibited; (5) insurance companies were prohibited from giving short-term discounts, and a fixed discount rate was set for a period of at least ten years.
It was stipulated that the reform shall apply to individual health insurance policies that will be taken out as from the effective date of the provisions and thereafter, and to collective health insurance policies that will be taken out or renewed as from the effective date of the provisions and thereafter.
Three provisions were published for the purpose of implementing the reform: (a) The Directives regarding Financial Services Supervision (Insurance) (Terms in Basic Health Insurance Policy), 2021; (b) The Amendment to the Provisions of the Consolidated Circular - Title 6, Part 3, Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 - Drawing up a Health Insurance Plan; and (c) The Supervision of Financial Services Regulations (Insurance) (Terms in Insurance Contract for Surgical Procedures and Alternative Treatments for Surgery in Israel) (Amendment), 2021.
Regulations (Provident Funds) (Transfer of Funds between Provident Funds) (Amendment), 2022, the Supervision of Financial Services Regulations (Provident Funds) (Investment Rules Applicable to Institutional Entities (Amendment), 2022, and the Supervision of Financial Services Regulations (Provident Funds) (Crediting Yields in a New Comprehensive Pension Fund) (Amendment), 2022. The purpose of the said amendments is to adjust the wording of the regulations to the new mechanism. As part of the promulgation of the regulations, it is stipulated, among other things, that for the purpose of complying with restrictions calculated as a percentage of the value of the institutional investor's assets (hereinafter - the "Track-Related Restrictions"), the assets invested as part of the yield-guaranteed track (a separate investment track in which the assets for which the fund is entitled to supplemental yield are managed) will not be taken into account in the calculation of total assets invested in practice (hereinafter - the "Numerator"), out of total institutional investor's assets that will include assets that are invested as part of a yield-guaranteed track (hereafter - the "Denomininator").
Following are drafts of material regulatory provisions published during the reporting period and thereafter, which are not included in the 2021 Report on the Corporation's Business. For further details regarding additional drafts of material regulatory provisions published during the reporting period, please see Section 4.1 to the 2021 Report on the Company's Business.
be possible to enroll them on age-dependent tracks based on the "tiers" model; this step is designed, as set out in the explanations to the circular, to overcome the problem of "moving" between tiers, which exists in the "tiers" model; this is since under the "cohorts" model the planholder does not switch tracks; rather, he/she changes the investment mix within a track that develops over the years in accordance with the planholder's retirement target. In addition, in accordance with the recommendations of the Yafeh Committee, it is suggested to require institutional entities to offer an index-tracking investment track, an investment track that specializes in investment in liquid assets (without collecting management fees to external party), and an index-tracking investment track for annuity recipients; it is also suggested to allow institutional entities to set up investment tracks with performance-based management fees (without collecting direct expenses), an investment track that focuses on sustainability, and an investment track that focuses on the environment.
Set forth below is a summary description of trends, events and developments in the group's macroeconomic environment, that have or are expected to have an effect on the group.
GDP data for 2021 were published and were surprisingly strong - representing annual growth of 8.1%. The spread of the Omicron variant led to relatively minor disruptions in the economy. Inflation rates in Israel were notable; as of February, annual inflation increased to 3.5% breaching the ceiling of the inflation target. In view of the developments, the Bank of Israel started preparing the ground for interest rate increases in the forthcoming months. IRSs started factoring in 3-4 interest rate increases this year. The Israeli government launched an action plan to mitigate the increase in the cost of living; the plan includes, among other things, subsidizing the planned increase in electricity prices, tax credits to families with children, reducing customs duty on some consumption products, and more. In February, the unemployment rate continued to decline, reaching a level of 3.9%. Political crisis - when Member of Knesset Idit Silman announced that she will no longer support the coalition government, the government lost its majority; this calls into question the government's ability to pass legislation in the Knesset, as well as the future of public spending. The TA 125 Index increased by 2.0%, which is a higher rate compared to other share indexes across the world. The 10-year yield shot up to 2.2%. The Tel-Bond 60 Index declined by 2.7%. The Shekel started devaluing against most currencies. The shekel has devalued to a level of NIS 3.19 per 1 Dollar and a level of NIS 3.53 per EUR 1.
Published GDP data for the first quarter were surprising; the economy contracted by 1.6% due to the spread of the Omicron variant in Israel and globally during that period, and a significant cut in government spending. Government deficit decreased to 0.6% in April. Inflation rates in Israel were notable; as of April, annual inflation increased to 4.0% - breaching the ceiling of the inflation target. In view of the developments, the Bank of Israel started raising interest rates from 0.1% to 0.75%. Unemployment continued to decline, reaching 3.5% in April; as from the beginning of May, TA 125 joined the slumps of capital markets across the world.
The TA 125 Index has fallen by 7.5%; the 10-year yield shot up from 2.16% to 2.55%. The Tel-Bond 60 Index declined by 5.1%. The Shekel started devaluing against most currencies. The shekel has devalued to a level of NIS 3.35 per 1 Dollar and a level of NIS 3.59 per EUR 1.
In January and February equity markets across the world experienced slumps, also as a result of the spread of the Omicron variant; in February, Russia invaded Ukraine, and western countries responded by imposing sanctions on Russia; the conflict disrupted the trade of commodities, mainly energy products. Oil prices reached nearly USD 130 per barrel in March, which triggered another increase in inflation levels across the world. Inflation in the US (CPI) for April soared to an annual change of 7.9%. The rising inflation environment caused central banks to recognize the threat posed by inflation and issue "hawkish" messages regarding interest rate hikes and sale of bonds purchased during the Covid-19 pandemic; and, indeed, in March, the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates (by 0.25%) for the first time in the present cycle. The Federal Reserve's surprising determination led to increasing concerns that the US economy might plunge into recession in 2023, and sectors sensitive to the interest rates continued to suffer, mainly the technology sector, which is considered to be relatively sensitive to changes in interest rates. The concerns about recession were also supported by the inverted yield curve in the USA. Despite the war in Ukraine and the concerns regarding the effect of interest rate hikes, in March the equities market managed to recover, also as a result of good financial results published by corporations.
In the first quarter, the S&P 500 was 5.0% down, the Euro Stoxx 50 index decreased by 9.2%; the yield on 10-year US bonds spiked from 1.51% to 2.34%; and the USD strengthened significantly against most currencies across the world, reaching levels of USD 1.11 per EUR 1.
In the first quarter, the US economy contracted by 1.5%; according to Bloomberg's economists survey, the US economy will start growing again later this year, with growth figures for the entire year in 2022 projected to reach 2.7%. Surveys conducted among Chief Procurement Officers in the manufacturing sector in April also reflected continued expansion - 55.4 points, and unemployment in the USA decreased in April to 3.6%. In March inflation rates in the USA hit record levels of 8.5%, which was to some extent moderated in April (decreasing to 8.3%). Companies' reports for the first quarter were mostly better than expected; 78% of S&P 500 companies presented results that were better than expected; however, the results of prominent retailers, such as Walmart and Target, were disappointing, and this caused slumps in equity markets. Despite the weakness in equity markets, the Federal Reserve increased the interest to 1.00%. The contracts in respect of the Federal Reserve interest started factoring in hikes of up to 3.00% at the end of the year. In the Eurozone, the European Central Bank is cautious about the timing of rate hikes, due to the concern that local economies may be damaged; the market estimates that a first hike will only take place in July. The pressure to increase interest rates alongside companies' difficulty to pass on price increases to consumers, and the damage to the economy due to the war between Russia and Ukraine weighed on equity markets for most of the period. However, towards the end of the reporting period, the Federal Reserve started sending messages indicating of higher tolerance, with a limitation of 50 base points per each hike. This step supported a certain correction in the market.
The yield on 10-year bonds in the USA shot up to 2.74%; the S&P 500 slumped by 8.2%, with technology companies leading the trend, and despite increases in energy sector shares. In Europe, the EURO-STOXX slumped by 2.4%; the Euro has weakened against the Dollar, reaching levels of EUR 1.07 per USD 1.
The group's business strategy and targets constitute forward-looking information, as defined in Section 32A of the Securities Law, and are based on the data and information available to the group as of the report date, its plans as a result thereof, the market situation and the group's position. The group's business strategy and targets may change from time to time. In addition, the achievement of the group's targets and strategy is uncertain and is not under the sole control of the group. The group's business strategy and targets may not materialize due to, among other things, changes in the group's priorities, new needs of the group, market developments, macro changes, other business opportunities, etc.
The multi-year strategic plan - which was approved in December 2020 - is based on four fundamental principles: yield-focused growth, technological innovation and efficiency, maximization of the portfolio's value and capital management, all of which are relevant to the group's key areas of activity: insurance, asset management, agencies and credit. Since the publication of the plan, the Company has acted consistently to implement and execute it. The Company reviews its targets from time to time in the light of its achievements and market conditions; accordingly, in March 2022, the Company's Board of Directors adopted an update to the strategic plan (hereinafter - the "Strategic Plan"), as part of which the Company's targets for the plan's period were updated as described in the chart below.

The interim targets are based on (a) multi-year work plans for a 5-year period (from its approval date); (b) an assumption of net return on investment of 3%. Compared to the plan's objective, actual results are based on the actual returns in the financial markets in Israel and around the world, macroeconomic growth, the Company's results and other variables. For the Company's actual results taking into account a 3% return, see Sections 5.4-5.6.
The group's operations are affected by constant changes in regulations and regulatory reforms. In addition, as the controlling shareholder of institutional entities, the group must also deal with the minimum capital requirements that apply to the activity of the institutional entities, which impose, among other things, restrictions on dividend distribution by the institutional entities.
The group's operations and results are significantly affected by the capital markets, including, among other things, the low-interest environment that has implications for its insurance liabilities and on the returns embodied in the group's financial asset portfolios, and consequently - on the management fees and financial margins from investments as well.

Income for 1-3/2022
Set forth below are key data from the consolidated balance sheets (in NIS billion):

5.4.1.1. At each reporting period, the Company reviews its sources of income, according to the segments breakdown, as outlined in Section 5.4.2 below. The Company also reviews its profitability by separating operating profit which assume a real return of 3% net (less bonuses to employees and managers from excess returns), and gain from capital market
effects above or below a real return of 3%, effects of interest and other special items as described below.

(*) Pension and provident - the Company decided to launch a new operating segment - "asset management - pension and provident" as from December 2021.
For the effects on the results at the segment level, please see details in Sections 5.5-5.6 below.

(*) Please see Section 5.4.1.
(**) For information about the Special Items at segment level, see Section 5.4.4, and results at segment level in Sections 5.5-5.6 below.
Operating profit after deducting effects of the capital market, Special Items and interest increased by NIS 83 million in the first quarter of the reporting period, compared with the first quarter last year.
In the reporting period, the negative yield from nostro investments was 0.2%. After transferring annual real return of 3%, and an amount in respect of variable management fees, which is calculated based on the real return, the negative effect of the capital market after the said deduction is NIS 668 million, see Section 5.4.1 regarding the review of sources of earnings.
The total decrease in investment income, in excess of a real return of 3% in the first quarter of the reporting period compared with the corresponding quarter last year totals NIS 1,036 million. The said decrease is in respect of the change in investment income, which decreased in the first quarter of the reporting period by NIS 832 million compared to the first quarter last year (below real return of 3%), in view of the slumps in financial markets in Israel and globally, and a NIS 204 million change in collection of variable management fees (below real return of 3%) in the first quarter of the reporting period compared to the collection in the corresponding quarter last year, due to the slumps in financial markets in Israel and globally, which caused a decrease in the value of planholders' portfolio in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year.
As of March 31, 2022, the effect of the decline in planholders' portfolios will lead to non-collection of future variable management fees in the amount of approx. NIS 113 million, before tax (as of the report publication date - NIS 340 million before tax).
The decrease in investment income was partially offset against an increase in the risk-free interest rate curve in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last; this increase caused a NIS 832 million decrease in insurance reserves in the reporting period, compared with the corresponding period last year. The total net effect of the interest and capital market effects (in excess of a real return of 3%) in the reporting period amounted to a pre-tax profit of NIS 131 million as reflected in the above chart.
During the reporting period, the special items line item increased by NIS 102 million compared to the corresponding period last year; most of the increase stemmed from the recognition of a oneoff earning of NIS 99 million as a result of the transfer of the Company's rights in Phoeniclass Ltd. to The Phoenix Insurance; for more information, see Section 1.2.10 above.
For further details regarding the effects on the results at the segment level, please see Sections 5.5-5.6 below.

Following is the composition of the main effects and changes on the results of the property and casualty insurance subsegment for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million before tax):

The NIS 70 million decrease in underwriting profits in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year stems mainly from the motor property subsegment, where there was an increase in costs of claims and in incidence, which resulted in a further recognition of premium deficiency at the total amount of NIS 23 million in the reporting period; the Company is taking steps to improve underwriting results in the motor property subsegment. The increase in underwriting profits in the liability subsegments in the reporting period, compared with the corresponding period last year, stems mainly from a positive development in claims in respect of previous years in the professional liability and employers liability insurance subsegment.
The NIS 250 million decrease in investment income in the reporting period compared to the corresponding period last year stemmed from slumps in financial markets in Israel and across the world during the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year.

Earnings on investments affects the profitability of this segment, some of whose products (such as long-term care coverage) are characterized by accrual of significant reserves over long periods. Investment earnings are affected by financial market fluctuations, as well as changes in interest rates and the rate of change in the Israeli consumer price index, which affect the yields on liquid financial asset portfolios held against insurance and contingent claims reserves. It should be noted that at this stage, the Company has ceased to market long-term care insurance policies in view of the guaranteed return in long-term care insurance plans, and the complexity of the related reinsurance in this area.

The increase in underwriting profits in the reporting period compared to the corresponding period last year in the amount of NIS 32 million is mainly due to an increase in profit from long-term care insurance policies compared with the corresponding period last year.
The NIS 55 million decline in investment income in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year stems from slumps in financial markets in Israel and globally during the reporting period, compared with the corresponding period last year.
The impact of increase in the risk-free interest rate curve in the reporting period compared with the decline in the risk-free interest rate curve in the corresponding period last year caused a NIS 549 million increase in earnings, including the change in excess value of illiquid assets carried to LAT.
In addition, the results in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year were affected from a NIS 106 million increase in earnings in the Special Items line item. Most of the increase is attributed to the recognition of a one-off earning of NIS 99 million as a result of the transfer of the Company's rights in Phoeniclass Ltd. to The Phoenix Insurance; this one-off earning was recognized in LAT as part of the excess value of illiquid assets; for more information, see Section 1.2.10 above.
For further details, please see Note 7 to the Financial Statements.
5.5.3.1. Earnings on investments have a material effect on the profitability of this segment, which is characterized by accrual of significant reserves over long periods. Investment earnings are affected by financial market fluctuations, as well as changes in interest rates and the rate of change in the Israeli consumer price index, which affect the yields on liquid financial asset portfolios held against insurance and contingent claims reserves. It should be noted that a significant portion of the investment income was carried to participating policies and has no direct effect on the Company's results.

Compared with the corresponding period last year, the results in the reporting period were mainly impacted by the decrease in investment income that were offset against the increase in risk-free interest that triggered a decrease in insurance reserves. The NIS 407 million decrease in investment income (in excess of real return of 3%) stemmed from a NIS 203 million decrease in income from the nostro portfolio, mainly due to the slumps in financial markets in Israel and globally, and from a NIS 204 million decrease in variable management fees (in excess of real return of 3%) as a result of non-collection of variable management fees in the first quarter of the reporting period compared to the collection in the corresponding quarter last year, due to the slumps in financial markets in Israel and globally, which caused a decrease in the value of planholders' portfolio in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year.
As of March 31, 2022, the effect of the decline in planholders' portfolios will lead to non-collection of future variable management fees in the amount of approx. NIS 113 million, before tax (as of the report publication date - NIS 340 million before tax).
The impact of the change in interest in the reporting period compared with the corresponding period last year caused a NIS 283 million increase in earnings mainly due to the increase in the interest rate curve in the reporting period compared with the decline in the interest rate curve in the corresponding period last year, which had a direct effect on the supplementary retirement pension reserve.
The NIS 12 million increase in underwriting profit stemmed mainly from an increase in the fixed management fees that was partially offset against the decrease in the profitability of the life insurance products.
The rate of redemptions out of the average reserve (in annual terms) was approximately 4.6% compared with 3.6% in the corresponding period last year. The increase stemmed in part from internal transfers to The Phoenix Pension and Provident's provident funds. It should be noted that the general state of the economy, transition from product to product, employment rates, employees' wages, and market competition all affect this rate.
5.5.3.2. Life insurance contracts containing a saving component in respect of funds deposited by 2008, offered two tracks for funds withdrawal: equity track (one-off withdrawal), or an annuity track (with a secured annuity conversion factor), which also offers various tracks that can be selected (such as: life-long, policyholder and spouse, annuity secured for 10 years, and more). In some of the contracts, the policyholder may select the manner of receiving the funds at the time of their withdrawal. Since the insurance liability amount differs in each of these two tracks, the Company must determine the rate of policyholders opting for annuity, and the track that will be selected. This rate was determined based on Company's experience.
As of the report publication date, the Company is conducting a research regarding the retirement age and the rate of policyholders opting for annuity; this is the first time the Company conducts such a research. In the opinion of the Company and to the best of its knowledge, based on preliminary indications and based on the results of similar researches published in the past by other insurance companies, the research may cause a decrease in the liabilities for supplementing the annuity reserve; however, at this stage, the Company is unable to estimate the amount of the said effect. The research is expected to be completed during 2022.
The abovementioned information constitutes forward-looking information, as defined in the Securities Law, 1968, and is based on the information and estimates of the Company as of this date; however, since the research has not yet been completed, what is stated above may not materialize.
5.5.3.3. Set forth below are details concerning estimated net investment earnings attributed to policyholders of yield-dependent insurance policies and management fees calculated according to the Insurance Commissioner's guidelines, based on the return and the insurance reserves balances:

The consolidated cash flows used in investing activities in the reporting period amounted to approximately NIS 88 million and included mainly a total of NIS 70 million used to purchase intangible assets and to capitalize costs of intangible assets, NIS 30 million used to purchase property, plant and equipment, and a total of NIS 12 million arising from a dividend from an associate.
The consolidated cash flows provided by financing activities in the reporting period amounted to approximately NIS 190 million; the cash flows included, among other things, a total of NIS 608 million arising from the issuance of financial liabilities, a total of NIS 414 million used to repay financial liabilities, a total of NIS 67 million arising from short-term credit from banking corporations, and a total of NIS 56 million used to purchase Company's shares.
The group's cash and cash-equivalent balances increased from a total of approximately NIS 15,940 million at the beginning of the reporting period to approximately NIS 16,622 million at the end of the reporting period.
For liquidity purposes, the Company relies, among other things, on net financial assets and on distribution of dividends by some of its investees. Set forth below is a breakdown of the material investees for liquidity purposes.
It is hereby clarified that some of the investees are subject to regulatory provisions in addition to the distribution restrictions set in the Companies Law, 1999:
A. The Phoenix Insurance - the dividends from The Phoenix Insurance depend on the solvency ratio target set by the Board of Directors, which is higher than the minimum target set by the Banking Supervision Department; the dividends also depend on the policy set by the Board of Directors of The Phoenix Insurance, see Section 2.1 above.
For the purpose of making a conservative assessment of the Company's future cash flows, the Company assumes a payment of dividend by The Phoenix Insurance to the Phoenix Holdings in accordance with the work plan.
The Company considers its holding in a Restricted Tier 1 capital instrument of The Phoenix Insurance, which is traded on the TACT-Institutionals trading platform as a source of liquidity, and classifies this holding as a financial investment.
B. The Phoenix Pension and Provident - the dividend paid by The Phoenix Pension and Provident depend on the capital requirements set by the Banking Supervision Department, and on The Phoenix Pension and Provident's dividend distribution policy. The Company does not expect payment of dividend by The Phoenix Pension and Provident in the next two years. However, for purposes of the future cash flow, the Company takes into account the repayment of the loan it extended to The Phoenix Pension and Provident.
Furthermore, the Company controls the following entities which are not subject to special Regulatory Restrictions in addition to the Companies Law:
It should be noted that such work plans are reflected in the Company's targets as stated in Section 4 above.
Set forth below is a table providing a breakdown of the net financial debt (the table includes the following companies: the Company, The Phoenix Investments and The Phoenix Agencies as stated above, and does not include The Phoenix Insurance and The Phoenix Pension and Provident, which are subject to Regulatory Restrictions in addition to the distribution restrictions set out in the Companies Law, 1999):

(*) The other financial investments include an investment in a Restricted Tier 1 capital instrument of The Phoenix Insurance, which is traded on the TACT-Institutionals trading platform, amounting to NIS 951 million (fair value as of March 31, 2022 - NIS 1,421 million). (**) The Company LTV is calculated as net financial debt as described above, in relation to the Company's market value as of March 31, 2022. For the calculation of LTV in accordance with financial covenants, please see Section 9.2 below.
Generally, during the reporting period there were no material changes in the exposure to market risks and the manner of management of those risks compared to what is described in the 2022 Periodic Report. except as follows:
In January 2022, the Company issued NIS 300 million p.v. in Series 6 bonds that replaced the series 3 bonds of NIS 1 p.v. each for a total gross consideration of NIS 300 million. The bonds (principal and interest) are not linked to the CPI, and bear non-linked annual interest, as stated, of 1.94%, payable in two semi-annual installments, in June and December of each calendar year from 2022 to 2032. This issuance replaced the series 3 bonds previously issued by The Phoenix Insurance. Following this expansion, there has been a change in the exposure to shekel interest rates in relation to the data as of December 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes the results of the sensitivity tests to the non-linked shekel interest rate on comprehensive income before tax, as of March 31, 2022. The results are presented in NIS million, and do not include the insurance company:

| Total | (30.7) | (3.1) | (1.5) | (598.8) | (1.6) | (3.1) | (34.7) |
(*) The value of The Phoenix's bonds under the model is 1% lower than their market value (616.6).
Fair value: Fair value was calculated using the discounted cash flow model, using the appropriate interest rate for the cash flow period. The discount rate was calculated based on the market interest rate for the cash flow period, plus the risk premium derived from the security's rating. Market interest rate data was taken from the Reuters' database, that feeds The Phoenix's risk management system, and risk premium data (credit spreads) were taken from Fair Spread.
Scenarios: Daily historical changes in the past ten years were tested for each of the relevant risk factors (such as exchange rates and shares). The maximum and minimum daily changes were calculated for each risk factor, excluding interest rate risk, for which the calculation was based on a 2% absolute increase/decrease during a single day. This scenario was selected after a study of the yield curve database found that in the past 10 years, no absolute change exceeding 2% was observed in any single day. These changes served as scenarios for potential changes in each of the risk factors. Scenario outcomes were calculated at the single asset level, so as to avoid distorting results by aggregating different instruments.

Amendment No. 3 to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 2009 (hereinafter - "ISOX"), which deals with internal controls over financial reporting and the disclosure thereof (hereinafter - the "Regulations"), was published in December 2009. The amendment enacts a number of changes aimed at improving the quality of financial reporting and disclosure by reporting corporations.
As from the publication date of the ISOX amendment, and as set out in the Company's previous Reports of the Board of Directors, the Company has acted and is acting on an ongoing basis to implement the required procedure in The Phoenix group in accordance with the provisions of the ISOX amendment. In accordance with the provisions of the ISOX amendment, the Company opted to implement to the internal controls of all of its consolidated institutional entities the provisions of the Commissioner's circulars applicable thereto - the Institutional Entities Circular 2009-9-10, "Management's Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting"; Institutional Entities Circular 2010-9-6, "Management's Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Amendment"; Circular 2010-9-7 "Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Statements, Reports and Disclosures" (hereinafter - "Management's Responsibility Circulars").
The reports and statements required in accordance with the ISOX amendment are attached below to the periodic financial statements, please see Part 5 - Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure.
The processes relating to the activities of institutional entities are also addressed in the Insurance Commissioner's Circulars, please see Section 8.1.2. below.
Alongside the process described in Section 8.1.1 above, The Phoenix group's institutional entities apply the provisions of Management's Responsibility Circulars pertaining to controls and procedures regarding disclosure and internal controls over financial reporting of an institutional entity, and implement the procedures required in connection therewith, as described below; this is done in accordance with the stages and dates set out in the abovementioned circulars and in collaboration with external consultants engaged for that purpose. As part of this process, the group's institutional entities adopted the internal control model of COSO - the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission - which is a generally accepted framework for assessment of internal controls.
Managements of the institutional entities, together with their CEOs and CFOs, assessed the effectiveness of the controls and procedures concerning the said institutional entities' disclosure in their Financial Statements as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this assessment, the CEOs and CFOs of the institutional entities in The Phoenix group concluded that, as of the end of this period, the controls and procedures as to the institutional entities' disclosure are sufficiently effective for recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting the information that the institutional entities are required to disclose in their quarterly report in accordance with the provisions of the law and the reporting provisions set by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance, and Savings and on the date set out in these provisions.
During the quarter ending March 31 2022, no changes took place in the internal control over financial reporting of the group's institutional entities that had a material effect, or is expected to have a material effect, on the institutional entities' internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, the group's institutional entities are improving and streamlining processes and/or internal controls and/or customer service.
The reports and statements relating to the relevant processes are attached to the financial statements of The Phoenix group's institutional entities, in accordance with the provisions of Management's Responsibility Circulars.
For further details regarding events subsequent to the balance sheet date, please see Note 8 to the Financial Statements.

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of The Phoenix Holdings Ltd. and subsidiaries ("the Company"), the condensed consolidated statement of financial statement of financial position as of March 31, 2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. The Company's Board of Directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of interim financial information for this interim period in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", and are responsible for the disclosure requirements set by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings and in accordance with the Financial Services (Insurance) Supervision Law, 1981 and they are also responsible for preparing financial information for this interim period under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation that consolidates an insurance company. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.
We did not review the condensed interim financial information of certain subsidiaries, whose assets included in consolidation constitute approximately 1.9% of total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2022, and whose revenues included in consolidation constitute approximately 1.6% of total consolidated revenues for the three-month period then ended. Furthermore, we did not review the condensed interim financial information of certain companies accounted for at equity, the investment in which, at equity, amounted to approximately NIS 765,738 thousand as of March 31, 2022, and the Company's share in the losses of which amounted to approximately NIS 4,800 thousand for the three-month period then ended. The condensed interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and of applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed pursuant to Israeli GAAP and, as a result, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we are not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and in accordance with the disclosure requirements prescribed by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings, pursuant to the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), 1981.
In addition to that which is stated in the previous paragraph, based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure provisions of Chapter D of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation consolidating an insurance company.
Without qualifying the above conclusion, we draw attention to Note 7 to the financial statements regarding exposure to contingent liabilities.

In January 2022, the board of directors of The Phoenix Advanced Investments authorized a restructuring of the companies it controls and the distribution of the following companies that it holds to the Company, as a dividend in kind: Halman-Aldubi Pension Insurance Agency (2005) Ltd. and Quality Pension Insurance Agency (2017) Ltd., and 16% of the shares it holds in The Phoenix Pension and Provident.It should be noted that the decision by The Phoenix Advanced Investments' Board of Directors is subject to the Court's approval since it does not meet the profit criteria. In May 2022, the Court's approval for the distribution was received. As of the report publication date, the Israel Tax Authority's approval for the restructuring has not yet been received.

Furthermore, The Phoenix Advanced Investments' Board of Directors approved the sale of Halman-Aldubi IEC Gemel Ltd. to the Company; this sale was completed in March 2022.
At the same time, the Company authorized the transfer of its holding in The Phoenix Advanced Investments to The Phoenix Investments, and The Phoenix Investments authorized the transfer of its holdings in the alternative funds it holds to The Phoenix Advanced Investments. When this process is complete, the alternative investments activities will be managed in its entirety under The Phoenix Advanced Investments.
Further to what is stated in Note 1K to the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements regarding the transfer of 49% of the issued and paid up share capital of Phoeniclass from The Phoenix Insurance to The Phoenix Insurance, on March 31 2022, the said transfer of shares was completed upon receipt of the approval of the Israel Tax Authority, which was a condition precedent for the completion of the transaction.
As part of the completion of the transfer of Phoeniclass' shares to The Phoenix Insurance, and in accordance with the illiquid assets allocation circular applicable to The Phoenix Insurance, the latter carried out a valuation of Phoeniclass' shares through an external, independent appraiser. In accordance with the valuation, during the reporting period The Phoenix Insurance recognized a one-off pre-tax earning of NIS 99 million from revaluation of excess fair value of the investment against LAT in the health insurance subsegment.
As of the report date, Excellence holds approximately 84% of the shares of KSM ETN Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - "KSM Holdings"), and 16% of the shares of KSM are held by three partners (hereinafter the "Minority Shareholders in KSM Holdings"), of which approximately 9.55% of the shares are held by Avner Hadad and Boaz Nagar, pari passu (hereinafter - the "Managers").

Following the merger and further actions, the Company is expected to hold through The Phoenix Investments 88.44% of the shares of Excellence and the Minority Shareholders in KSM Holdings will hold approximately 11.56% of the shares of Excellence, of which the share of Avner Hadad and Boaz Nagar will be 7.5%. Furthermore, options arrangements were established to execute transactions, from 2016 to 2029, between The Phoenix Investments and the Managers in connection with their holdings in Excellence at the market price to be determined, in accordance with an agreed-upon mechanism, based on valuations. The said arrangements enable the Company to pay the Managers the consideration by allotting them shares of the Company by way of a private placement, provided the options are exercised and at the Company's discretion. In accordance with the agreements that were signed, Excellence intends to focus on managing the core business of Excellence, which includes the activity of KSM Mutual Funds, the TASE member, portfolio management and ESOP. Other activities will be transferred from Excellence to other Group companies. For further details, please see immediate report dated March 15, 2022 (Ref. No.: 2022-01-025548).

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the preparation of interim financial statements as prescribed by IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", as well as in accordance with the disclosure requirements set by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings in accordance with the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), 1981. In addition, the financial statements were prepared in accordance with the disclosure provisions in Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation consolidating an insurance company. In preparing the condensed financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Company is required to exercise discretion in assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the implementation of the policy and the amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from those estimates. Management's discretion in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key assumptions used in assessments involving uncertainty is consistent with that which is applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements. For further information regarding changes in critical estimates and assumptions used to calculate the insurance reserves, please see Note 7.A.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those implemented in the preparation of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, with the exception of what is stated below:
In May 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IAS 16 (hereinafter - the "Amendment"). The amendment prohibits the deduction of proceeds received from the sale of items manufactured while a company is preparing its property, plant and equipment for its designated use from its cost. Rather, the Company should recognize the proceeds from the sale and the related costs in profit or loss.
The Amendment shall be applied as from annual periods beginning on January 1, 2022. The Amendment was applied retrospectively, but only to property, plant, and equipment items that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to operate in the manner intended by management at the beginning of the earliest annual reporting period presented in the financial statements in which the Company first applies the Amendment.
The cumulative effect of the first-time application of the Amendment is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings (or other equity component, where relevant) at the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The above Amendment did not have a material effect on the consolidated interim financial statements of the Company.
In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 37 regarding costs that a company must include in assessing whether a contract is an onerous contract (hereinafter - the "Amendment").
According to the amendment, the testing should include both incremental costs (such as raw materials and direct working hours) and the allocation of other costs directly related to the fulfillment of the contract (such as amortization of property, plant, and equipment used to fulfill the contract).

The Amendment shall be applied to annual reporting periods starting on January 1, 2022; the Amendment will apply to contracts for which the obligations have not yet been fulfilled as of January 1, 2022.
The Company believes that the above amendments are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.
In May 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations - which updated the reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendment was designed to replace a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting published in March 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.
The amendment adds an exception to the principle of recognizing a liability in accordance with IFRS 3, in order to avoid recognizing day 2 gain or loss stemming from liabilities and contingent liabilities, that would have been within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, had they been recognized separately.
In accordance with the exception, liabilities or contingent liabilities which are within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 shall be recognized on acquisition date in accordance with the provisions of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, rather than in accordance with the Conceptual Framework.
The amendment also clarifies that contingent assets will not be recognized on the business combination date.
The amendment will be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2022. The above Amendment did not have a material effect on the interim financial statements of the Company.
Further to what is stated in Note 2FF(1) to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the draft "Revised Roadmap for the Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17 - Insurance Contracts", published by the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority on January 5 2022 (hereinafter - the "Roadmap"), on May 23 2022, the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority published the final version of the said Roadmap (hereinafter - the "Revised Roadmap"). The Revised Roadmap did not change the first-time application date of IFRS 17 in Israel, that will take place starting with the quarterly and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2024; (accordingly, the transition date shall apply on January 1, 2023). However, the Revised Roadmap includes a small number of updates in relation to the draft Roadmap. In accordance with the Revised Roadmap, as part of the financial statements for the second quarter of 2023 and the 2023 annual financial statements companies will be required to include - in a dedicated note to the financial statements - key proforma statements (statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income at the very least, and without comparative figures), that will be prepared in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 according to the disclosure format attached to the Revised Roadmap.

Furthermore, the Revised Roadmap lists the key preparations and time tables that the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority believes should be taken and met in order to ensure Israeli insurance companies' preparedness for a successful application of the standard, including, among other things, in connection with the adaptation of the IT system, completion of the formulation of accounting policies and preparations for the various required disclosures, conducting a quantitative assessment as to fair value in the lead up to the transition date, preparations for the calculation of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk, and preparations for the independent auditors' audit.
The Company continues assessing the effects of the adoption of the said standards on its financial statements, and is preparing for the adoption of the standard.

Products issued until 1990 (including increases in respect thereof) were mainly guaranteed return policies that were backed mainly by designated bonds.
The financial margin does not include additional income of the Company collected as a percentage of the premium and is calculated before deducting investment management expenses. The financial margin in guaranteed return policies is based on actual investment income, for the reporting year, less the product of the annual guaranteed rate of return, multiplied by the average reserve per year in the various insurance reserves. In this matter, investment income also includes the change in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets that is charged to the statement of comprehensive income. In yield-dependent contracts, the financial margin is the total fixed and variable management fees calculated on the basis of the yield and average balance of insurance reserves.

The following table presents an analysis of assets held against insurance contracts and investment contracts presented at fair value through profit and loss. The different levels were defined as follows:
Level 1 - fair value measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical instruments.
Level 2 - fair value measured using observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, that are not included in Level 1 above.
Level 3 - fair value measured using inputs that are not based on observable market inputs.
For financial instruments periodically recognized at fair value, the Company estimates, at the end of each reporting period, whether transfers have been made between the various levels of the fair value hierarchy.
During the reporting periods there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.
The Company holds the financial instruments measured at fair value according to the following classifications:

The fair value of investments traded actively in regulated financial markets is determined based on market prices as of the reporting date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using transactions that were recently made at market terms, reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same, discounting of cash flows, or other valuation methods.
The fair value of illiquid debt assets, which are measured at fair value through profit and loss, and the fair value of illiquid financial debt assets, for which fair value information is provided solely for disclosure purposes, is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows from those assets. The discount rates are based primarily on yields on government bonds and spreads of corporate bonds as measured on the TASE. The quoted prices and interest rates used for discounting purposes are determined by a company which won the tender, published by the Ministry of Finance, for the setting up and operating a database of quoted prices and interest rates for institutional entities.
The fair value of the investment in illiquid shares was estimated using the discounted cash flow model (DCF). The estimate requires management to make certain assumptions regarding the model's data, including expected cash flows, discount rates, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities in respect of the estimates in the range can be measured reliably, and management uses them to determine and evaluate the fair value of these investments in illiquid shares.

The Company enters into transactions involving derivative financial instruments with multiple parties, especially financial institutions. The derivatives were valued using valuation models with observable market inputs are mainly interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forwards. The most frequently used valuation techniques include prices of forwards and swap models using present value calculations. The models combine a number of inputs, including the credit rating of the parties to the financial transaction, spot/forward exchange rates, prices of forward contracts and interest rate curves. All derivative contracts are fully back against cash; therefore, there is no counterparty credit risk and non-performance risk of the Company itself in respect thereof.

A. It is management's policy to maintain a strong capital base in order to retain Company's ability to continue its activities such that it will be able to generate returns to its shareholders and support future business activities. The Phoenix Insurance, the Excellence Group, pension and provident funds management companies and other institutional entities consolidated in the financial statements are subject to capital requirements set by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner").
The Phoenix Insurance is subject to the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime in accordance with implementation provisions as published in June 2017 and revised in October 2020 (hereinafter the "Economic Solvency Regime").
The economic solvency ratio is calculated as the ratio between the insurance company's recognized economic equity and the capital required for solvency purposes.
The recognized economic equity is determined as the sum of the core tier 1 capital derived from the economic balance sheet and debt instruments that include loss absorption mechanisms (Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital instrument).
Economic balance sheet items are calculated based on economic value, with insurance liabilities calculated on the basis of a best estimate of all expected future cash flows from existing businesses, without conservatism margins, and plus a risk margin.
The solvency capital requirement (SCR) is designed to estimate the economic equity's exposure to a series of scenarios set out in the Economic Solvency Regime provisions, and which reflect insurance risks, market risks and credit risks as well as operational risks.
The Economic Solvency Regime includes, among other things, transitional provisions in connection with compliance with capital requirements, and which allow increasing the economic capital by deducting from the insurance reserves an amount calculated in accordance with the Economic Solvency Regime provisions (hereinafter - the "Deduction"). The Deduction will decrease gradually until 2032 (hereinafter - the "Transitional Period"). In addition to a reduced capital requirement, that will increase gradually until 2023, in respect of certain investment types.
In accordance with the provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the economic solvency ratio report as of the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first periodic report published after the calculation date.
The Phoenix Insurance published its Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2021, along with the publication of the Financial Statements.
In accordance with the Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2021, The Phoenix Insurance has surplus capital, both when calculation is made having no regard to the transitional provisions and when it is made taking into account the transition provisions.
The calculation made by The Phoenix Insurance as described above, was reviewed by The Phoenix Insurance's independent auditors, in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3400) - The Examination of Prospective Financial Information.

This standard is relevant to audits of solvency calculations and does not constitute part of the auditing standards that apply to financial statements.
It should be emphasized that the projections and assumptions on the basis of which the economic solvency report was prepared are based mainly on past experience as arising from actuarial studies conducted from time to time. In view of the reforms in the capital market, insurance and savings, and the changes in the economic environment, past data do not necessarily reflect future results. The calculation is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events, steps taken by management, and the pattern of the future development of the risk margin, that will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the calculation. Furthermore, actual results may materially vary from the calculation, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions made in the calculation.
In their special report, the independent auditors noted that they did not review the appropriateness of the Deduction During the Transitional Period as of December 31, 2021, except for verifying that the Deduction amount does not exceed the expected discounted amount of the risk margin and the capital required for solvency in respect of life and health insurance risks arising from existing businesses during the Transitional Period in accordance with the pattern of future development of the required capital, which affects both the calculation of the expected capital release and the release of the expected risk margin as described in the provisions on calculation of risk margin. Furthermore, attention is drawn to what is stated in the economic solvency ratio report regarding the uncertainty derived from regulatory changes and exposure to contingent liabilities, the effect of which on the solvency ratio cannot be estimated.
For further details, please see Section 2.1 to the Report of the Board of Directors, and the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2021 published on The Phoenix Insurance's website.
According to the letter published by the Commissioner, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the transitional provisions and subject to the economic solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. The aforesaid ratio shall be calculated without the relief granted in respect of the original difference attributed to the acquisition of the provident funds and management companies. In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner.
In October 2020, The Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors set a minimum economic solvency ratio target and target range based on Solvency II. The economic solvency ratio target range, within which the Company seeks to be during and at the end of the Transitional Period, taking into account the Deduction during the Transitional Period and its gradual reduction is 150%-170%. The minimum economic solvency ratio target, taking into account the transitional provisions, is set at 135% while the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the transitional period is set at 105%, set to reach 135% at the end of the transitional period according to The Phoenix Insurance's capital plan. On November 29, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors increased the minimum economic solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the Transitional Period by 3 percentage points - from the 105% rate a 108% rate as of June 30, 2021.

On October 27, 2020, The Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approval of the dividend distribution whereby, as from 2021, The Phoenix Insurance shall distribute an annual dividend at a rate of 30% to 50% of its distributable comprehensive income as per its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the relevant year, so long as The Phoenix Insurance meets the minimum economic solvency ratio targets in accordance with Solvency II, as described above.
On March 28, 2022, The Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approved a revision of the dividend distribution policy that will apply to future dividend distributions to be made in connection with The Phoenix Insurance's financial results for 2022 and thereafter. According to the update, the rate of dividend will not change, but The Phoenix Insurance will take steps to distribute a dividend twice a year:
It is hereby clarified that this policy should not be viewed as an undertaking by The Phoenix Insurance to distribute dividends, and that any actual distribution shall be individually subject to the Board of Directors' approval, at its sole discretion; the Board of Directors of The Phoenix Insurance may decide on actual distribution at different (higher or lower) rates, or not to distribute any dividend. Furthermore, the execution of any actual distribution shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of the law applicable to any dividend distribution, including, among other things, the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999, and to compliance with the financial covenants The Phoenix Insurance has undertaken or/or will undertake to comply with, to The Phoenix Insurance's having sufficient distributable profits on the relevant dates, to the condition that the distribution shall not adversely affect the terms of The Phoenix Insurance's bonds and/or its cash flows, and to the extent to which The Phoenix Insurance needs cash to finance its activities, including future investments, as shall be from time to time, and/or its expected and/or planned future activities.
The Board of Directors of The Phoenix Insurance may review the dividend distribution policy from time to time and decide, at any given time, taking into account business considerations and the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to The Phoenix Insurance, to change the dividend distribution policy, including the rate of dividend to be distributed.
On March 28, 2022, The Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approved the distribution of a NIS 500 million dividend based on the audited solvency ratio report as of December 31, 2020, and on the Company's estimate of the economic solvency ratio as of December 31, 2021. These results, that were integrated into a revised capital management plan, indicated that the Company meets the minimum capital target set by the Board of Directors as described above. Therefore, the Company met the requirements of the letter published by the Commissioner in October 2017 regarding the restrictions on dividend distribution. The dividend was paid in April 2022.
The solvency ratio as of December 31, 2021, does not include the effect of the business activity of The Phoenix Insurance subsequent to December 31, 2021, until the report publication date, changes in the mix and amounts of insurance investments and liabilities, exogenous effects - including changes in the risk-free interest rate curve, and regulatory changes affecting the business environment.


In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of petitions to approve class actions filed against the Group and in the number of lawsuits recognized as class actions. This is part of an overall increase in petitions to approve class actions in general, including against companies engaged in the Group's areas of activity, which stems mainly from the enactment of the Class Actions Law, 2006. This trend substantially increases the Group's potential exposure to losses in the event of a ruling against the Group companies in class actions.
Petitions to approve class actions are filed through the hearing procedure mechanism set forth in the Class Action Law, 2006 (hereinafter - the "Class Actions Law"). The hearings procedure for petitions to approve class actions is divided into two main stages: The first stage is the approval petition (hereinafter - the "approval petition" or the "approval stage", respectively). If the approval petition is rejected by the court, the hearing stage at the class action level ends. A ruling at the approval stage may be subject to a request for appeal to the appellate courts. In the second stage, if the approval petition is accepted, the class action will be heard (hereinafter - the "class action stage"). A judgment at the class action stage can be appealed to the appellate courts. Within the mechanism of the Class Actions Law, there are, inter alia, specific settlement agreements, both in the approval stage and in the class action stage, as well as arrangements with regard to the plaintiff's withdrawal of the approval petition or class action lawsuit.
In the State of Israel, filing class action lawsuits does not entail payment of a fee derived from the claim amount; therefore, the amounts of such claims may be significantly higher than the actual exposure for that claim.
Petitions to approve lawsuits as class actions (including lawsuits approved as class actions and the approval of which is under appeal) are set out in Sections 1-12, 16-25, 27, 29-36, 38-40, and 42- 47 to the following table; for such lawsuits, which, in management's opinion - that is based, inter alia, on legal opinions whereby the Group's defense claims are more likely than not to be accepted and the petitions to approve the lawsuit as class actions will be rejected - no provision was included in the financial statements, except for petitions to approve class actions in which the Group is willing to reach a settlement. For petitions to approve lawsuits as class actions (including lawsuits approved as class actions and the approval of which is under appeal), in which the Group's defense claims - in whole or in part - are more likely than not to be rejected, and in which the Group is willing to reach a compromise, provisions were included in the financial statements to cover the exposure as assessed by the Group or a provision in the amount for which the Group is willing to settle, as the case may be.
Management's assessment, which is based, inter alia, on legal opinions received, is included in the financial statements under adequate provisions, where such provisions were required, to cover the exposure as assessed by the Group or the amount for which the Group is willing to settle, as the case may be.
Many of the petitions to approve lawsuits as class actions have been filed against the Group on various matters related to insurance contracts and the Group's ordinary course of business, for which the Group has allocated insurance reserves.
In petitions to approve lawsuits as class actions as set out in Sections 13-15, 26, 28, 37, 41, and 48-59 in the table below, at this preliminary stage, the chances of the petitions to approve lawsuits as class actions cannot be assessed and therefore no provision is included in respect thereof in the Financial Statements.

As part of the approval process it was determined that the group on behalf of which the class action will be conducted will include any person who is a planholder in a new comprehensive pension fund, which is among the defendants, where such planholder is entitled to receive old-age pension; it was also determined that the questions for discussion are whether the defendants should have given planholders advance notice regarding the management fees that will be collected from them during the pension period, and if so - what is the damage caused as a result of not issuing such notice. The class action continues to be heard in the district court. A hearing is scheduled for July 11, 2022. |

The cause of action, as approved by the District Court, is a violation of the provisions of the policy regarding special compensation (reimbursement) for performing surgery in a private hospital funded by "additional insurance services" (SHABAN) and the questions common to the group members are: what is the value of the commitment form on behalf of a health maintenance organization in respect of a privately-owned hospital (Form 17), according to which the amount to be reimbursed to the policyholder is calculated; how The Phoenix Insurance in effect calculated the amount reimbursed to policyholders who underwent surgeries as part of SHABAN; and whether The Phoenix Insurance violated the provisions of the policy, and did not reimburse the full amount to the policyholders. |
In December 2019, the District Court approved the motion to approve the claim as a class action lawsuit. The group on whose behalf the class action will be conducted will include all policyholders who were insured under a health insurance policy with The Phoenix Insurance, which included a reimbursement arrangement for performing surgery at a private hospital funded by Shaban, based on a commitment form/Form 17, and in respect of whom an insurance event occurred from June 25, 2012 through June 25, 2015.

Collecting investment management expenses in the individual saving policy Excellence Invest in addition to collecting management fees, without a provision in the policy expressly permitting to do so. |
In May 2019, the District Court approved the motion to approve as a class action the claim filed against The Phoenix Insurance and three other insurance companies (hereinafter - the "Defendants"), for breaching the provisions of the insurance policy due to unlawful collection of investment management expenses. The class on whose behalf the class action lawsuit against The Phoenix Insurance will be conducted includes all policyholders of the individual savings policy Excellence Invest issued by The Phoenix Insurance at present and in the seven years prior to the date of submission of the motion for approval as class action. The remedies claimed are the reimbursement of the investment management expenses that were overcharged in addition to interest differentials; and an order directing the defendants to stop collecting such fees. In September 2019, The Phoenix Insurance (along with the other defendants) filed a motion for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision approving the class action lawsuit. At the request of the Supreme Court, on August 13, 2020, the Attorney General submitted his position on the proceedings and announced his attendance. According to the position, the Attorney General is of the opinion that the court should accept the motion for leave to appeal and the appeal itself and order the rejection of the motions for approval as class actions, for the reasons set out in the position. A hearing on the request for leave to appeal took place on February 11, 2021. In January 2022, the Attorney General submitted his position regarding the proceeding following a final report submitted by the advisory committee to the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority, on the issue of direct expenses, as published in November 2021; the Attorney General noted that the request for leave to appeal and the appeal itself should be allowed, and in this respect, the motions for certification of the lawsuits as class actions must be rejected, and that there is nothing in the report that affects the decision made in the proceeding and it may even support his position. The other parties have also submitted their response to the position of the Attorney General and to the committee's report. In April 2022, the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority published a draft of new regulations in connection with the direct expenses. The Court allowed the defendants to file the said draft regulations, and also allowed the other parties to submit their response to the draft. The parties await the judgment. At this point, the hearing on the class action in the District Court was postponed. It should be noted that requests for approval of class actions regarding investment management expenses are also pending against Excellence Gemel (please see Section 12 in the table below), The Phoenix Insurance (see Section 13 in the table below) and Halman Aldubi Provident and Pension Funds Ltd.

It should be noted that the plaintiffs refer in their claim to a decision approving a motion for approval of a claim as a class action dealing with the same issue and filed against another insurance company, in which the said practice had allegedly been proven. |
On March 20, 2022, the Court stayed the proceedings in this case until a judgment is handed down in the appeal that has been filed in a similar class action lawsuit against another insurance company that was rejected (to which the plaintiffs referred in the certification motion). |

According to the plaintiffs, contrary to that which is stated in its rules and regulations, The Phoenix Pension has refrained from paying or from paying in full the partial contributions towards benefits to anyone who does not receive a full disability pension. In any case, The Phoenix Pension refrained from reporting to policyholders - either in pay slips or in annual statements - about the payments it made, to the extent that it did, indeed, make such payments. |
In August 2021, the Regional Labor Court issued a resolution approving the motion for approval of the claim as a class lawsuit. As part of the above resolution, the Court approved causes of action in connection with the failure to pay contributions towards benefits in respect of planholders receiving a partial disability pension during the period from May 1, 2012 through May 1, 2019; the Court ordered a remedy whereby the rules and regulations should be abided by and the planholders' accumulated balance should be credited with current monthly contributions towards benefits based on a value date as of the original entitlement date, plus the yield accrued on the fund as from the said date. The Court also ruled that no separate pecuniary damages has been proven in addition to what is stated above, and that no monetary damages should be paid. The class action continues to be heard in court. |
| 24. | June 2018 Jerusalem District Court The Phoenix Insurance and another insurance company The amount of the claim was not estimated. |

In January 2022, the District Court issued a ruling approving the petition to approve the claim as a class action. As part of the certification decision it was determined that the group on whose behalf the class action will be conducted will include any person who engaged in an health insurance contract with the defendants, including insurance coverage for surgical procedures, whose claim to have such procedure done was rejected for the reason that it is a preventative procedure which is not covered by the policy (even if the reason was presented differently in the letter rejecting the claim), and the joint questions for the group members are: Did the defendants breach the insurance contracts when they rejected the claims for insurance coverage by stating that the surgical procedure is a "preventative" one, and what are the remedies to which group members are entitled due to that? On May 24, The Phoenix Insurance filed a motion for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision approving the class action lawsuit. |

| 1. | September 2016 Tel Aviv District Court The Phoenix Insurance and other insurance companies NIS 4.45 billion from all defendants, of which NIS 943 million is attributed to The Phoenix Insurance. |
Collection of premiums on health insurance policies, for unnecessary coverages that the policyholders do not need, and alleged sale of health insurance policies despite being aware that they include coverages that the policyholders have no need for, since they have supplementary health insurance from the health maintenance organization, they are a member of. In addition, according to the defendants, they also tied services since customers were unable to purchase a reduced-coverage policy that will include only coverages that are not included in the supplementary health insurance of their health maintenance organizations, thus creating "overlapping insurance". |
In October 2020, the District Court ruled that the motion for approval of the claim as a class action was denied. In November 2020, the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. On March 28, 2022, the Supreme Court handed down a judgment dismissing the appeal filed by the plaintiffs against the District Court's judgment. |
| 2. | February 2020 Tel Aviv Regional Labor Court The Phoenix Insurance No less than NIS 25 million. |

| 3. | May 2019 Nazareth Magistrate Court The Phoenix Insurance The amount of the claim was not estimated. |
According to the plaintiff, this claim deals with The Phoenix Insurance's failure to pay in full insurance benefits under the insurance policy in respect of damage caused to a vehicle, on the grounds that the ownership class of the vehicle is "leasing - sale of a new vehicle with 0 km or formerly" even though the ownership of the vehicle is not and/or never was of such ownership class, and the permanent owner of the vehicle's license as "Owner 00" was the first purchaser, who is not the leasing company. |
On May 16, 2022, the Magistrates' Court granted the agreed motion for the plaintiff to withdraw from the motion to approve the claim as a class action. |
| 4. | February 2020 Central District Court PassportCard Israel General Insurance Agency (2014) (hereinafter - "PassportCard") and The Phoenix Insurance NIS 6.125 million. |
The claim is that the defendants violate the provisions of the travel insurance policy, since when an insurance event occurs to a policyholder and insurance benefits are claimed in respect of expenses of a person who traveled with the policyholder or accompanied him/her on their trip, the defendants deduct from the insurance benefits double the deductible - one for the policyholder and the other for another person covered by the insurance, i.e. the policyholder or person who traveled with the policyholder or the person who accompanied him/her. The plaintiff also claims that the defendants violate various provisions of insurance circulars regarding the claim filing form, the data included therein, receiving a copy thereof; the plaintiff further claims that the defendants refrain from informing policyholders who file claims of their right to obtain a copy of the decision made regarding their claim and/or appeal against the decision to various parties, nor do they inform policyholders of the period of time they have to do so. |

Set forth below is a description of legal and other proceedings against the Group. For proceedings where, in the opinion of management - which is based, among other things, on the legal opinion it has received - it is more likely than not that the Group's defense claims will be allowed and the proceeding will be dismissed, no provision was included in the financial statements.
For proceedings where it is more likely than not that the Group's defense claims will be dismissed, in whole or in part, the financial statements include provisions to cover the exposure estimated by the Group. In management's opinion, which is based, among other things, on legal opinions it received, the financial statements include adequate provisions, where provisions were required, to cover the exposure estimated by the Group.
In the statement of claim, the Court is requested to order the defendants, jointly and severally, to compensate the plaintiffs for the damage caused to them, according to the claim, due to the impairment of Pilat Group's value, in the total amount of NIS 35.9 million. The lawsuit continues to be heard in court.
According to the plaintiff, the subject matter of the claim is the alleged breach of duty towards the Company by the board members and officers, who allegedly allowed the Company to recruit customers and help them over more than three decades to benefit from guaranteed return insurance policies; such steps were allegedly carried out in breach of guidance prohibiting the marketing of such policies as from December 31 1990.

The claim amount, as claimed and estimated by the plaintiff, is NIS 124 million, which - according to the plaintiff - is the total direct damage caused to the Company as a result of El Al employees added to the guaranteed-return policies enjoying better conversion coefficients.1
On October 27, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the claim in limine. The court has not yet ruled in this dismissal in limine motion. The defendants' response to the motion to approve the lawsuit as a derivative lawsuit was also submitted. A hearing is scheduled for June 29, 2022.
The letter states that it was sent, among other things, against the backdrop of a legal proceeding currently being conducted against another insurance company in connection with this issue. On April 28, 2022, The Phoenix Insurance responded in writing to this letter. The Authority's decision has yet to be issued.
Complaints are filed against the Group from time to time, including complaints to the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") in relation to policyholders' rights under insurance policies and/or the law. These complaints are handled on an ongoing basis by the Group's Public Complaints Department. The Commissioner's decisions with regard to these complaints, to the extent that a decision has been made in respect thereof, are sometimes issued as sweeping decisions relating to a group of policyholders. Before issuing a final version of his decisions, the Commissioner usually issues a draft decision.
Furthermore, as part of the Commissioner's inquiries with the group, following complaints and/or audits on his behalf, demands are made from time to time to receive various data regarding the Group's handling of insurance policies in the past and/or a demand to reimburse funds to groups of policyholders and/or other guidelines. In addition, the Commissioner has the power, among other things, to impose monetary sanctions on the Group in accordance with the data that was and/or will be transferred thereto following inquiries as described above. In addition to the petitions to approve lawsuits filed against the Group as class actions.
and the legal and other proceedings, there is a general exposure, which cannot be assessed and/or quantified, due to, among other things, the complexity of the services provided by the Group to its policyholders.
1 Since this is a derivative claim accompanied by a petition to approve the claim as a derivative claim, which, if approved, the Company will be entitled to funds thereunder, the total claimed amount does not appear in the following summary table.

The complexity of these services inevitably leads to interpretive claims and other claims due to information gaps between the Group and third parties to the insurance contracts in connection with a long list of commercial and regulatory terms. This exposure is reflected, among other things, in the areas of pension savings and long-term insurance, including health and long-term care insurance, in which the Group operates. Insurance policies in these areas of activity are assessed over many years in which policies, regulation and legislation change and new court rulings are issued. These changes are implemented by automated systems that undergo frequent changes and adjustments. The complexity of these changes and the application of the changes over many years lead to an increased operational exposure. In addition, allowing new interpretations for the provisions of insurance policies and long-term pension products sometimes affects the Group's future profits in respect of its existing portfolio, in addition to the exposure embodied in claims for compensation for customers in respect of past activity.
It is impossible to anticipate the types of claims that will be raised in this area or the exposure arising from these and other claims in connection with insurance contracts - claims which are raised through, among other things, the procedural mechanism set forth in the Class Actions Law.
In addition, some of the Group's products have long terms and are particularly complex in light of the various legislative arrangements both in the field of product management and in the field of taxation, attribution of contributions, investment management, the policyholder's employment status, his contributions and more.
The Wage Protection Law, 1958 imposes a liability on the Group's institutional entities, in accordance with the circumstances specified in the law, in respect of employers' debts to the institutional bodies, where such debts have not been repaid on time. The Group is in the process of improving the data on employers' debts and policyholders' rights, during the course of which lawsuits were filed against employers and the debts of other employers were rescheduled. Once this process is completed, the Group will complete the handling of employers' debts in accordance with the provisions of the law.

The following table summarizes the amounts claimed in pending motions for approval of claims as class actions, claims approved as class actions and other material claims against the Group, as noted by the plaintiffs in the statements of claim filed on their behalf. It is hereby clarified that the amounts claimed do not necessarily reflect the amounts of exposure assessed by the Group, since these are assessments on behalf of the plaintiffs which will be resolved as part of the legal proceedings. It is further clarified that the table below does not include proceedings that have been concluded, including proceedings that concluded after a compromise agreement was approved in respect thereof.

The total provision amount in respect of class actions, legal proceedings and others, filed against the Group as specified above as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, amounted to approximately NIS 281,623 thousand (of which a total of approximately NIS 4,335 thousand is in respect of concluded class actions) and approximately NIS 263,312 thousand, respectively.

A decrease (increase) in long-term interest rates may increase (decrease) the paid pension reserve and the supplementary retirement pension reserve is deferred due to the use of a lower (higher) discount rate, to the extent that a change in the discount rate is required due to changes in market interest rates.
In addition, the supplementary retirement pension reserve for deferred pensions is affected by future income expectations (using K factor), so that the decrease (increase) in interest rates may decrease (increase) the expected future income, and if according to the new projection it will be impossible to continue funding the provisions to the reserve, the Company will increase the reserve in order to reduce future provision amounts (or vice versa).

The Company tests the adequacy of the reserves for life insurance and LTC and where necessary, increases the reserves. Testing is performed according to the regulatory guidelines and on the basis of actuarial assumptions and a risk-free yield curve plus an illiquidity premium. To the extent that there are changes in these assumptions, the supplement required according to the test will change.
A decrease (increase) in the risk-free interest rate curve and/or in the rate of illiquidity premium will increase (decrease) the supplement for the reserves required according to the LAT test (to the extent that a supplement is required).

B. Fluctuations in financial markets and changes in the risk-free interest curves affect the Group's results. During the reporting period, there were slumps in capital markets; those slumps intensified upon the breakout of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Consequently, the participating life insurance policies marketed through 2004 achieved negative real yields. Therefore, during the reporting period the Company did not record variable management fees; rather, it only recorded fixed management fees. So long as the policies do not achieve a positive real yield that will cover the investment losses accrued by the policyholder, the Company will not be able to collect variable management fees. As of March 31, 2022, management fees that were not collected due to the negative real return and until accumulative positive return is achieved amounted to NIS 113 million before tax. In addition, there was an increase in the risk-free interest rate curve during the period, which caused a decrease in liabilities in respect of insurance contracts. Furthermore, the slump in financial markets also had an adverse effect on the Company's liquid nostro investment portfolio; this decline has slightly offset the effect of the increase in interest. For further details about the impact of interest, please see Section A above.
For information concerning the effect of interest and the slumps in financial markets subsequent to balance sheet date, see Note 8E below.
For further details, please see the Company's immediate reports of December 9, 2021, and January 6, 2021 (Ref. Nos.: 2021-01-107986, 2021-01-142551).
The outstanding balance of the bonds' principal bears a fixed annual interest rate of 1.94%. The interest payable on the outstanding balance of the bonds' principal shall be paid in semi-annual installments, on June 30 and December 31 of each of the years 2022 through 2032; the last interest installment will be paid on December 31, 2032. The Series 6 bonds were rated by Midroog at Aa3.il with a stable outlook, and by Maalot at ilAA-.
The issuance proceeds are designed to be used for early redemption of Series 3 bonds and for the Company's operating activities.
D. On January 17, 2022, Midroog reiterated the rating of the Series 3-6 bonds at Aa3.il, and changed the outlook from stable to positive.

E. On May 31, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved, after receiving the approval of Compensation Committee, to allocate the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries - some of whom are officers of the Company (including the Company's CEO) as well as some of the Company's service providers (hereinafter - the "Offerees") a total of up to 4,883,593 options, not listed for trading, offered at no cash monetary consideration (offered in consideration for work performed or service rendered to the Company by the Offerees) exercisable into up to 4,883,593 registered ordinary shares of NIS 1 par value each of the Company, out of the Company's reserved shares. Under the theoretical assumption of all allocatable options being exercised under the outline, immediately after exercise thereof and taking into account the issued and paid-up capital of the Company, the shares arising from the exercise of the options as of the Board of Directors' approval, shall constitute approximately 1.94% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company and approximately 1.94% of its voting rights (and approximately 1.85% and 1.85%, respectively, fully diluted). In practice, no allotment will be made to the offerees who will realize the full stock options arising from them, but only shares in an amount that reflects the amount of the monetary benefit inherent in the options. In accordance with the Board of Directors' decision, out of the amount of 4,883,593 options offered to offerees a total of 90,000 options were allotted to the Company's CEO. The fair value at the Award Date is calculated based on an appraisal received from an external appraiser who used the binomial model.
The average value of one option was estimated at approximately NIS 4.18, and the total value of the options allotted was estimated at that date at approximately NIS 20 million. The award of options to the Company's CEO was approved in an extraordinary annual general meeting of the Company on March 8, 2022. For further details regarding the vesting terms and conditions, see Note 37B(4) to the annual financial statements. For more information, please see immediate reports dated February 1, 2022, and March 8, 2022 (Ref. Nos.: 2022-01-012510, 2022-01-023133 and 2022-01-023208, respectively).
H. On March 28, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an update to the dividend distribution policy that was approved by the Board of Directors in October 2020; the policy will apply in connection with future dividend distributions that will be executed in connection with the Company's financial results for 2022 and thereafter. According to the update, the rate of dividend will not change (will not be lower than 30% of the Company's distributable comprehensive income as per its financial statements in a relevant year); however, the Company will take steps to distribute a dividend twice a year:
Interim dividend at the discretion of the Board of Directors on the approval date of the financial statements for the second quarter of each calendar year;
Supplementary dividend in accordance with the policy on the annual report's approval date of each calendar year.

H. (cont.)
Furthermore, the Company will not include in the amount of the dividend any amounts that were used for the execution of the share buyback plan. It is stipulated that the foregoing policy is not intended to derogate from the power of the Board of Directors to determine and approve the dividend to be distributed, as it deems appropriate at any given time.
On March 30 2022, up to 3,761,841 options were offered to employees and officers of Gama (hereinafter - the "Offerees"), under the theoretical assumption of all allocatable options being exercised under the outline (see Gama's immediate report of April 1 2022, Ref. No.: 2022-01-034830); immediately after exercise thereof and taking into account the issued and paid up capital of Gama as of the approval by Gama's Board of Directors, the shares arising from the exercise of the options shall constitute approximately 6.17% of the issued and paid up capital and voting rights of Gama. In practice, no allotment will be made to the offerees who will realize the full stock options arising from them, but only shares in an amount that reflects the amount of the monetary benefit inherent in the options.
For further details, see Gama's immediate reports dated April 1, 2022 (Reference Nos.: 2022-01-034830 and 2022-01-034836).


E. (cont.)
Furthermore, the sharp slump in financial markets in the reporting period is also expected to have an adverse effect on the Company's liquid nostro investment portfolio. However, at this stage it is impossible to estimate the effect of the slumps in financial markets and the increase of the risk-free interest rate curve on the results in the second quarter of 2022. For additional information on the market risks to which the Company is exposed and on the results of sensitivity tests relating to market risks, please see Note 41, Sections 3.1 and 3.2 to the 2021 annual financial statements.
F. In connection with class actions filed and developments in lawsuits after the balance sheet date, please see Note 6 above.

To The Shareholders of The Phoenix Holdings Ltd. Dear Madam/Sir,
We have reviewed the separate interim financial information disclosed in accordance with Regulation 38D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 of The Phoenix Holdings Ltd. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2022, and for the three months period then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the separate interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the separate interim financial information based on our review.
We did not audit the separate interim financial information taken from the interim information of investees, in which the total investment amounted to approximately NIS 887,591 thousand as of March 31, 2022, and the Company's share in of their earnings amounted to approximately NIS 939 thousand for the three months period then ended, respectively. The separate interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and of applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed pursuant to Israeli GAAP and, as a result, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we are not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying separate interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Regulation 38D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure

Management, under the supervision of the Board of Directors of The Phoenix Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter: the "Corporation"), and the management of The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd., are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure in the Corporation. For that purpose, members of the Corporation and The Phoenix Insurance's managements are as follows:
The internal control over financial reporting and disclosure consists of the Corporation's existing controls and procedures that have been planned by the chief executive officer and the most senior financial officer or under their supervision, or by the equivalent acting officers, under the supervision of the Corporation's Board of Directors, designed to provide reasonable assurance about the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in compliance with applicable laws, and ensure that all information that the Company is required to disclose in the financial statements its publishes pursuant to law is collected, processed, summated and reported in a timely manner and according to the format prescribed by law.
Among other things, internal controls include controls and procedures planned to ensure that all information that the Corporation is required to disclose as aforesaid is collected and transferred to the Corporation's management, including the chief executive officer and the most senior financial officer, or the equivalent acting officers, in order to allow decision making on a timely basis with respect to the disclosure requirements.
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure is not designed to provide absolute assurance that misstatements or omissions of information in the financial statements shall be prevented or detected.
Management, under the supervision of the Corporation's Board of Directors, performed an examination and assessment of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and disclosure and their effectiveness; the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure as performed by management under the supervision of the Board of Directors included the following:
Entity-level controls, controls on the process for compiling and closing the financial statements, general information technology controls (ITGC), and controls over processes which are highly material to financial reporting and disclosure (these processes are carried out within The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. and its subsidiaries, The Phoenix Pension and Provident Fund Ltd. - which are institutional entities to which the following provisions relating to institutional entities apply):
The Phoenix Insurance Ltd. and The Phoenix Pension and Provident Fund Ltd., subsidiaries of the Corporation, are institutional entities which are subject to the directives of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings in the Ministry of Finance regarding the assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Regarding the said subsidiary, management - under the supervision of the Board of Directors - examined and assessed the internal control over financial reporting and the effectiveness thereof, based on Institutional Entities Circular 2009-9-10, "Management's Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting"; Institutional Entities Circular 2010-9-6, "Management's Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Amendment"; Circular 2010-9-7, "Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Statements, Reports and Disclosures".
In the annual Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure attached to the periodic report for the period ended December 31 2021 (hereinafter - the "Most Recent Annual Report Over Internal Control"), the Board of Directors and management assessed the internal control in the corporation. Based on this assessment, the Corporation's Board of Directors and management have concluded that the said internal control, as of December 31 2021, is effective.
As of the report date, the Board of Directors and management have not been informed of any event or matter that may alter the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control, as presented in the Most Recent Annual Report Over Internal Control.
