It is worth noting that the bonus amount proposed for Mr. Ben-Avi is similar to the amount of the bonuses granted to other managers at the Company in connection with the completion of said IPO.
The proposed change to the employment terms of Mr. Shay Ben-Avi was determined based on his position, experience, and the degree of responsibility he assumed from his position and based on the prevailing market conditions with respect to similar functionaries at companies in the Company's field of activity and based on the practice with respect to other employees at the Company. The change to the employment terms of Mr. Ben-Avi was found by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company as reasonable and appropriate, taking into consideration, among other things, his position, professional knowhow, experience and skills. In this regard see section 2.3.6 below.
