In November 2020, Mivne Real Estate K.D Ltd. ("Mivne") published a tender offer to purchase all the ordinary shares of Sela Capital Ltd. ("Sela" or "Sela Capital") in exchange for: (1) 0.92 ordinary shares of Mivne, or alternatively (2) NIS 6.751 in exchange for each share of Sela. The cash consideration is limited to the amount of NIS 250 million.
We were asked by Mivne to examine the economic fairness of the tender offer, as well as the advantages and disadvantages inherent in it, based on public sources only. For more information, see Chapter 1 below.
For the sake of examining the plausibility, we analyzed the economic value of Mivne and Sela under the following approaches:
For more information on the selected methodologies, see Chapter 2 below.
The analysis based on the market value approach shows that over the examined time period, the tender offer embodies a "direct premium" for Sela's share, which ranges from 4.4% to 9.2%



The main conclusions from the Market value approach analysis are as follows:
From the abovementioned, it appears that the offer's analysis using the market value approach indicates the fairness of the tender offer to Sela's shareholders.

The analysis based on the adjusted equity approach indicates that the adjusted equity of Mivne is estimated at about NIS 6.16 billion and the adjusted equity per share at about NIS 8.39, as specified in section 6.1.11 below. The adjusted equity of Sela is estimated at NIS 1.33 billion and the adjusted equity per share at NIS 6.84 if Sela remains a REIT and at NIS 1.43 billion and equity per share at NIS 7.31, if the tender offer is fully accepted, and Sela will become a "regular" company, as set forth in Section 6.2.4 below.
The analysis based on the adjusted equity approach shows that the tender offer embodies a premium for Sela's share of 11.6% in terms of adjusted equity per share: NIS 8.31 in the case of the merged entity, compared with NIS 6.84 in the case of Sela as a REIT. The premium, as stated in the amount of 11.6%, reflects a conversion ratio of 0.82 Mivne shares per each Sela share, in comparison to 0.92 in the tender offer. That is, the analysis according to the adjusted equity approach indicates the fairness of the offer to Sela's shareholders.
The advantages and disadvantages of accepting the tender offer are made under the assumption that Sela Capital "loses" its status as a REIT and becomes a "regular" company. For more information, see Chapter 7 below.
1 Assuming the tender offer fully accepted.


Mivne Real Estate (K.D) Ltd. ("Mivne" Or "Mivne Group") (formerly: Mivnei Ta'asiya Ltd.) is a real estate company that engages, both directly and through its subsidiaries, in a variety of real estate activities, mainly in Israel.
Mivne specializes in the initiation, purchase, construction, rental and management of buildings intended for office, high-tech, industrial, logistics and commercial ("investment real estate segment") and also operates in the field of residential real estate in Israel ("residential development segment"). It also works in planning and supervision of infrastructure development work for residential and industrial areas in Israel for the Israel Land Authority, local authorities, and in the construction and maintenance of photovoltaic installations, though to a relatively small extent compared to its other areas of activity.
According to Mivne's board of directors' report, as of September 30, 2020, Mivne owns about 1,948 thousand square meters of income-generating assets, of which about 1,554 thousand square meters are in Israel and the rest are abroad. In addition, Mivne has undeveloped land reserves and unutilized rights in the scope of about 678 thousand square meters. In the field of residential development, as of September 30, 2020, Mivne has 3 residential projects for the construction of 243 housing units and also owns lands for the construction of 746 housing units, mainly in Tel Aviv and Tzur Yitzhak.
Sela Capital is a real estate investment trust (REIT) in accordance with the provisions of Part D, Chapter Two of the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961.
As a real estate investment trust, Sela Capital's main purpose is the holding and management of incomegenerating real estate, i.e. office buildings, commercial centers, industrial and logistics buildings, rental apartments and the like, for profit, and thus enable investors to participate, indirectly, in projects, while diversifying the risks involved in investing in income-generating assets.
According to Sela's board of directors' report, from the date of its establishment until September 30, 2020, Sela's business activity includes contracts for the purchase of 36 income-generating assets with a total area of 294,000 square meters and 161,000 square meters of parking space.
Sela, as a real estate investment fund (REIT), is exempt from paying corporation taxes at the fund level, so that taxes are required to be paid at the shareholders' level, each depending on her tax status.

On 11/16/20202 , Mivne issued a full and special tender offer, in accordance with sections 328 and 336 of the Companies Law3 ("the tender offer" or "the offer"), for the purchase of 100% of NIS 1 par value ordinary shares of Sela Capital ("the shares" or "Sela shares"), in exchange for one of these alternatives (with respect to each Sela share): (1) 0.92 ordinary share, 1 NIS nominal value of the bidder, to be issued by the bidder ("the consideration in shares"); or alternatively (2) NIS 6,751 in exchange for each Sela share ("the cash consideration").
The cash consideration was limited to NIS 250 million, so that as long as the cash consideration that Mivne will be required to pay to holders who chose this alternative as part of the tender offer is greater than NIS 250 million, it will purchase from each offeror who requested such consideration in cash, a proportionate share of the total shares.
It should be noted that in accordance with the provisions of the trust deeds of Sela's bonds, an early redemption cause is included for their immediate payment if Sela ceases to be a real estate investment fund (REIT). Such a cause may also exist in Sela's loan or other financing agreements. In light of the fact that given the completion of the tender offer, Sela will cease to be a REIT fund, immediately after the completion of the tender offer, to the extent that it is completed, Sela will be faced with the following options: (a) Amendment of the current financing agreements (b) repayment of the bonds and other relevant financing.
We were asked by Mivne ("the client") to examine the economic fairness of the tender offer as well as the advantages and disadvantages inherent in it based on public sources only.
As part of the work, we relied on sources and reports published by Mivne and Sela, including financial statements, presentations to the capital market and other reports, as well as additional external sources as needed.
It should be noted that our framework does not include an independent examination of Mivne and/or Sela's appraisals and is based on the appraisal data used by the Companies themselves in their financial statements without adjustment.
2 Updates to the offer were subsequently published which do not change the proposed consideration.
3 And in accordance with the position of the Securities Authority: a complete tender offer from a bidder who holds less than 25% or 45% of the voting rights in the company.

For the purpose of carrying out this work, we analyzed Mivne and Sela Capital's economic value according to two approaches, as follows:
The economic rationale behind choosing the adjusted equity approach is that both companies present most of their assets at fair value (though not at identical discount rates), so the adjustments required to translate accounting equity into fair value equity are considerably minor and are relatively easy to track.
The economic rationale underlying the market value approach is that the two companies are public companies whose shares are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, although not in the same stock indices, so naturally their market value is a required benchmark. In addition, this approach makes it possible to examine the value of the companies over time.
For the purpose of examining Mivne's adjusted equity value, the following economic adjustments are required :

For the purpose of examining Sela's adjusted equity value, the following economic adjustments are required:
The only adjustment made is the weighting of the future representative management expenses component. It was performed based on the actual management expenses for 2018 and 2019 as well as for the first 9 months of 2020 as representative management expenses in a multiplier of 8. It should be noted that since Sela has one activity in the purchase and maintenance of investment real estate only (i.e. without initiating activity), we assumed that the representative expenses reflected the expenses for "maintaining the existent".
The change requires attention at two levels:

As described in section 1.3 above, no independent valuations have been made of the real estate assets of the companies presented in the books of the two companies at fair value and we have not made adjustments to these values, although the two companies use different capitalization rates to assess their assets:
In order to examine the fairness of the offer, we performed an analysis of the tender offer in relation to the fair value of Sela shares under the two approaches we took, as stated above;
For the purposes of the analysis, we defined two indicators for testing, as follows:
The price of merged Mivne stock was calculated in the following manner:
4 if the tender offer is not fully answered the expected savings in the management costs would be significantly lower, if any.
5 It should be noted that in the valuations performed for the purpose of merging Mivne and Calcalit Jerusalem Economics Ltd. ("Calcalit Jerusalem") in 2019, the appraiser relied on individual appraisals conducted by another appraiser, among other things due to the use of lower discount rates.

Post-merger premium ("post-merger premium") - the percentage difference between (a) the adjusted equity per share of Mivne post-merger which is calculated as follows ("adjusted equity per share of a merged Mivne") when multiplied by the replacement ratio; and (b) the adjusted equity per Sela's share, assuming it is a REIT fund.
The adjusted equity per share of a merged Mivne is calculated as follows:

Mivne is a real estate company that deals, both directly and through its subsidiaries, in a variety of real estate operations, mainly in Israel. Mivne specializes in initiating, purchasing, constructing, leasing, and managing buildings intended for office, high-tech, industrial, logistics and commercial needs, and also operates in the field of residential real estate development in Israel. As such, Mivne operates in planning and supervising infrastructure development projects as well as in constructing and maintaining photovoltaic installations as a relatively insubstantial proportion of its other areas of activity.
According to a report by Mivne's board of directors, as of September 30, 2020, Mivne owns approximately 1,948 thousand square meters of income-generating areas, of which approximately 1,554 thousand square meters are in Israel. In addition, Mivne has land reserves and unutilized rights amounting to approximately 678 thousand square meters. In the residential development area, as of September 30, 2020, the company has 3 projects for the construction of 243 housing units and also owns land designated for residential construction and the construction of 746 housing units, mainly in Tel Aviv and Tzur Yitzhak.
On November 4, 2019, a structural change procedure was completed in Mivne Group, so that Calcalit Jerusalem and a number of other companies in the Group merged with and into Mivne in a statutory merger in accordance with the Companies Law ("structural change procedure"). For the benefit of the structural change procedure, a special committee of Mivne's Board of Directors commissioned an economic report which included an economic valuation of Mivne's and Calcalit Jerusalem's equity ("MNS valuation"). The MNS valuation included public materials and information provided by Mivne, as well as reasonable reviews of some of the valuations of Mivne Group's assets prepared by external and independent appraisers appointed by the special committee. It should be noted that the valuations of the independent external appraisers appointed for the purpose of examining the merger were higher than the fair values used by Mivne and Calcalit Jerusalem in their financial statements.
As of September 30, 2020 the assets owned and leased by Mivne Group in Israel included:
544 income-generating assets in Israel in total area of approximately 1.55 million square meters, leased to 2,579 renters (with no assets in construction)

According to Mivne's financial statements as of 30/09/2020, the total fair value of investment real estate under construction is estimated at approximately NIS 208 million, with approximately NIS 176 million in office assets and the rest in industry and logistics, as follows:

Chart 14: Investment real estate under construction at fair value (NIS thousands)

The real estate presented according to balance sheet values mainly refers to investment real estate projects and / or investment real estate projects under construction in which the group's rights are through partnerships of 50% ownership. These projects include, among other things, Mivne's landholding in Florida, an office building in Jerusalem, a commercial center in Gan Shmuel and an event hall in Rishon LeZion. These assets are also presented at fair value, so no economic adjustment is required for them .
According to Mivne's statements as of 30/09/2020, the total value of the Group's rights in these assets amounts to approximately NIS 304 million.
According to Mivne's financial statements as of 30/09/2020, the total inventory of land and apartments in Mivne's balance sheets amount to approximately NIS 603.2 million, of which approximately NIS 215 million due to current assets and the balance due to long-term assets .
The estimated fair value of these assets is estimated at approximately NIS 715 million, an adjustment of approximately NIS 112 million in relation to the balance sheets. The adjustment was done based on the discounted expected proceeds from sale with deduction of the expected costs and profit (at a rate of 15%) and relates mainly to the Marom HaSharon project - current and long-term (approximately NIS 88 million) and the Meitav project (approximately NIS 24 million), as follows:
| Books | Adjustment | Value Estimate |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Current inventory | 215,061 | 37,698 | 252,759 |
| Long-term inventory | 388,142 | 74,021 | 462,163 |
| Total | 603,203 | 111,719 | 714,922 |
Table 10: Inventory of land and apartments, current balances (NIS thousands)
According to Mivne's financial statements as of 30/09/2020, the total balances in the Company's books with respect to fixed assets amount to approximately NIS 76.8 million, of which approximately NIS 20 million in due to gas stations, approximately NIS 10 million due to photovoltaic projects12 and the rest due to other assets (mainly the Company's offices).
We performed a discounted cash flow analysis to examine the fair value of gas stations and photovoltaic installations. For the sake of the analysis, we assumed that the adequate cost of capital corresponding to the expected cash flows from the gas stations was estimated at approximately 9% and that the adequate cost of capital corresponding to the expected cash flows from the solar projects was estimated at approximately 8%.
12 The balances relate to December 31, 2019 and on the assumption that no material changes have occurred as of September 30, 2020.

Our analysis shows that an adjustment of approximately NIS 81.6 million, net, in relation to the balance sheets, is required as follows:
| Books | Adjustment | Value Estimate |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas stations | 20,202 | -9,935 | 10,267 |
| Solar | 10,414 | 91,616 | 102,030 |

(1) A balance of approximately NIS 2.3 million was taken into account as part of the analysis of liabilities with respect to a tax reserve.

According to Mivne's financial statements as of 30/09/2020, its total liabilities amount to approximately NIS 7.1 billion.
The working assumption of this analysis is that all liabilities, except the deferred taxes liability, are presented at their balance sheet value. As stated, no adjustment was made to the financial liabilities, especially with respect to bonds presented at a reduced cost, which is not materially different from the liability value due to fair value derived from the value of the bonds on the stock exchange, since no parallel adjustment was made to the fair value of assets.
According to Mivne's financial statements as of 30/09/2020, the total balances in the Company's books with respect to net deferred taxes amount to approximately NIS 1.2 billion.
Deferred taxes were calculated mainly with respect to revaluations and losses on transfer, in their full nominal amount on a "realization basis". There are various acceptable practices for handling deferred taxes in determining the adjusted fair value of a company. We chose the discounting method of liability for deferred taxes. We assumed an estimated realization period of 12 years and an average of 6 years. plus a liability for adjustments we made to the estimated fair value of the assets as detailed in section 6.1.6 above.
The present value at a discount rate of 7.5% (similar to the weighted return on the Company's incomegenerating assets) is approximately NIS 796 million, so that a reduction in the liability of approximately NIS 442 million is required.

The analysis shows that it is necessary to make an adjustment of approximately NIS (442) million to the total balance of Mivne's liabilities, as follows:

| Total liabilities | 7,118,216 | -442,350 | 6,675,866 |

The management expenses for the purpose of the adjusted equity estimate were estimated at NIS 480 million. This estimate was made based on the average actual management expenses (deducting one-time expenses such as provision for doubtful debts) for 2018 and 2019 as well as for the first 9 months of 2020 as representative management expenses, in the amount of NIS 100 million per year multiplied by 8. It should be noted that since Mivne has a number of areas of activity, including developing real estate investment, maintenance, and self-operation activities as well as residential development activity, we assumed that the representative expenses reflect the expenses for "maintaining the existent" are about 60% of the total representative expenses, so we used 60% for the representative management expenses. Alternatively, this calculation is equivalent to the total management expenses represented while deducting a representative premium for Mivne's initiation activity.
Mivne's adjusted equity is estimated at NIS 6.16 billion and the equity per share amounts to NIS 8.39, as follows:

13 Mivne's paid shares total 812,930,670 and 733,974,196 after neutralizing 78,956,474 dormant shares.

Sela presents its investment real estate assets in fair values in accordance with valuations that are performed on an ongoing basis by independent appraisers.
The total balance of assets in Sela Capital's books as of 30/09/2020, amounts to approximately NIS 3.49 billion. This balance, for the most part, consists of investment real estate assets constituting approximately NIS 3.37 billion and cash balances amounting to approximately NIS 100 million, so that the total balances presented at fair value amount to approximately NIS 3.47 billion, which is approximately 99.6% of the total balance of assets.
Accordingly, our analysis shows that there is no need to adjust Sela Capital's asset balances, both for the purposes of analyzing Sela as a REIT fund as well as for the purpose of analyzing Sela as a regular company.
According to Sela's financial statements as of 30/09/2020, its total liabilities amount to approximately NIS 1.9 billion.
The assumption in the work is that the liabilities are all presented at their balance sheet value. As stated, no adjustment was made to the financial liabilities, especially with respect of the bonds presented at a reduced cost, which is not materially different from the liability value due to fair value, derived from the value of bonds on the stock exchange, since no parallel adjustment was made to the fair value of assets.
As Sela is a REIT and is therefore not liable for corporation tax payments, it does not include a liability for deferred taxes (mainly for revaluations it has made) in its statements. To the extent that the tender offer is accepted, this situation will change, with Sela being liable for corporate tax payments at the company level. As a result, immediate recognition of the liability with respect to deferred taxes will be required in accordance with the discrepancies between the fair value of the assets included in Sela's financial statements and their estimated reduced cost for tax purposes. The nominal amount of this obligation is estimated by us at approximately NIS 130 million and at a discount for an average period of 6 years at approximately NIS 85 million.
This adjustment will not be required under the assumption that Sela will remain a REIT fund.

For the sake of estimating Sela's adjusted equity as a REIT, the management expenses were estimated at NIS 220 million. This estimate was made based on the average actual management expenses for 2018 and 2019 as well as for the first 9 months of 2020 as representative management expenses, in the amount of NIS 27.5 million using a multiplier of 8. It should be noted that since Sela has one activity in the field of purchasing and maintaining investment real estate only (i.e. without initiating activity), we assumed that the representative expenses reflected the expenses for "maintaining the existing".
As long as the tender offer is fully accepted and Sela operates under Mivne, we assume that most of Sela's management expenses will not be required in the consolidated structure, which will be provided by Mivne according to Mivne's existing expenses, therefore saving about 80%14 of Sela's representative expenses.
14 if the tender offer is not fully answered the expected savings in the management costs would be significantly lower, if any.

Sela's adjusted equity is estimated at NIS 1.33 billion if the REIT fund remains and at NIS 1.43 billion if the tender offer is accepted and Sela becomes a regular company.

| Equity per share (NIS) | 7.97 | - | 6.84 | 7.31 |
The adjusted equity per share, assuming Sela remains a REIT fund, is NIS 6.84 per share, while under the assumption of Sela's acceptance of the tender offer and its turning into an ordinary company, the adjusted equity per share is approximately NIS 7.31. This increase is due to savings in management expenses that exceed, in our estimation, the liability for taxes that will result from Sela's becoming a regular company.

8.19 | 7.97 | 8.39 | 6.84 | 7.31 | 8.31 |
The table above shows that the tender offer embodies a premium for Sela's share of 11.6% in terms of adjusted equity per share: NIS 8.31 in the case of the merged entity, compared with NIS 6.84 in the case of Sela as a REIT. The premium, as stated in the amount of 11.6%, reflects a conversion ratio of 0.82 Mivne shares per each Sela share, in comparison to 0.92 in the tender offer. That is, the analysis according to the adjusted equity approach indicates the fairness of the offer to Sela's shareholders.

We examined the advantages and disadvantages of merging Mivne and Sela Capital, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This examination proceeded from the premise that Sela Capital "loses" its status as a REIT fund and becomes a "regular" company.
For the sake of the said examination, the following is a concentration of the main financial and commercial data regarding the two companies, based on their financial statements and their various reports to the public, as follows:

It should be noted that although Mivne recorded a significantly higher increase in value than Sela during the period, the embedded cap of income-generating real estate in Israel are still high in Mivne relative to Sela and Mivne continues in the investment and construction of investment real estate which is expected to generate high yields relative to the yield of existing income-generating real estate.
18 It should be noted, that Sela's board of directors' report as of 30 September 2020 point out on an expected improvement in some of Sela's assets on the 4th quarter of 2020 at the sum of NIS 40-50 million. Assuming this improvement will take place, without taking into consideration other changes in Sela's assets, the cumulative value increase rate in the period in Sela will be 3.7%-4%. The changes in the fair value of Mivne's assets in the 4th quarter of 2020 were not taken into consideration.
