If the company distributes a dividend (in cash or in kind) to all its shareholders and the record date for entitlement to this dividend falls after the allocation date of the options but before their exercise date, the exercise price of each option will be reduced by the gross dividend amount per share distributed by the company, provided that the exercise price of an option will not fall below the par value of the company's share. |
10. Recommendations and decisions of the directors regarding the dividend distribution according to Regulation 37(a)(1) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970:
Below are details regarding the examination conducted by the company's Board of Directors when making the decision on the above-mentioned dividend distribution ("the distribution"):
-
- The Board of Directors examined the company's compliance with the profit test and the solvency test as set out in section 302(a) of the Companies Law, 1999 ("the distribution tests" and "the Companies Law", respectively), and following this examination, confirmed that the company meets the distribution tests, i.e., the distribution is from profits (as defined in section 302(b) of the Companies Law) and that there is no reasonable concern that the distribution will prevent the company from meeting its existing and expected liabilities when due, and that the company meets the conditions set in the trust deeds for the company's debentures (series 13 and 14) as well as the conditions of the company's commercial papers.
-
- Regarding compliance with the profit test, the Board of Directors approved the distribution based on the accumulated surpluses (as defined in section 302(b) of the Companies Law), according to the company's reviewed financial statements as of June 30, 2025 – i.e., about NIS 1,580 million.
-
- Regarding compliance with the solvency test, the Board considered the following factors: the scope of the distribution, data on the company's financial condition, including data on the company's projected cash flow until June 30, 2027, and taking into account, among other things, the company's investment plans, including certain expected expenses, against a forecast of income sources to meet them. It is emphasized that in the course of this examination, the Board of Directors relied on forward-looking information, which may not materialize, or may materialize differently than expected.
-
- In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the distribution will benefit the shareholders on the one hand, and on the other hand, in light of the company's financial condition, it will have no adverse effect on the company's financial condition, including its capital structure, leverage level, compliance with financial requirements or liquidity status, its operations in its current form, and its investment plans.
