Re: Supplementary Immediate Report on the Convening of a Special Meeting
In accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (hereafter: "the Companies Law") and the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970 (hereafter: "the Reports Regulations"), The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereafter: "the Company"), announces the convening of a special meeting to be held on Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 14:00 at the offices of the Company, on #2 Ahuzat Bayit St., Tel Aviv, 11th Floor, Room 1119.
1.1. Approval of the Company's Officers' Compensation Policy for the Years 2026-2028
Wording of the proposed resolution:
To approve the Company's officers' compensation policy for the years 2026-2028, the principals of which are set out in section 2 below. The document presenting the compensation policy for the years 2026-2028 is attached as Appendix A to this report (hereafter: "the Updated Compensation Policy"), marking the changes from the Company's compensation policy document for the years 2023-2025 (hereafter: "the 2023 Compensation Policy").
The Updated Compensation Policy was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in its meeting on November 11, 2025, following its approval by the Company's Audit Committee in its capacity as the Company's Compensation Committee (hereafter, in this report: "the Compensation Committee") in its meeting on October 27, 2025.
1.2. Extending the term of office of the current independent auditors
Wording of the proposed resolution:
To update the term of office of the Company's independent auditors, Somekh Chaikin - KPMG, until the date of the convening of the Company's annual general meeting for 2025.
On December 26, 2024, the general meeting approved, for the first time, the appointment of the Somekh Chaikin - KPMG accounting firm as independent auditors of the Company for the
period commencing shortly after the approval of the Company's financial statements for 2024 and ending on the date of approval of the Company's audited annual financial statements for 2025. Since the appointment was approved within the framework of a special general meeting and not at an annual general meeting of the Company, and in order to ensure continuity in the tenure of the Company's independent auditors between the date of approval of the financial statements for 2025 and the date of the convening of the Company's upcoming annual general meeting (during which it is customary to discuss the appointment of independent auditors in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law), a resolution is hereby submitted for the meeting's approval, to update the term of office of the Company's independent auditors for a short period (estimated at only a few months), such that the term will continue until the date of the convening of the upcoming annual general meeting, thereby synchronizing henceforth the timing of the appointment of the Company's independent auditors from one annual general meeting to the subsequent annual general meeting, as stated above.
2.1.3.The Updated Compensation Policy is designed to assist the Company in achieving its long-term goals and work plans through the following mechanisms:
Creation of a reasonable and appropriate incentive package for the Company's officers, considering, inter alia, the Company's characteristics, its business activities, its risk management policy, and labor relations within the Company.
Granting competitive compensation relative to the market and providing the necessary tools to recruit, incentivize, and retain talented and skilled executives who can contribute to the Company and maximize its profits from a long-term perspective.
Providing performance-based compensation, while aligning the remuneration of the officers with their contribution to achieving the Company's goals and maximizing its profits, based on a long-term view and in accordance with their respective duties.
Establishing an appropriate balance between the different compensation components (such as fixed versus variable components, as well as short-term versus long-term components).
Granting long-term equity compensation; this is intended, inter alia, to create an incentive to increase the long-term value of the Company, and to align the interests of the officers with those of the Company's shareholders.
2.1.4.It is hereby clarified that the Updated Compensation Policy relates to the overall compensation of the officers in the Company (as defined in the Companies Law) for their work and/or for services that they provide to the Company or on its behalf, including within subsidiaries of the Company. The officers to whom the Updated Compensation Policy relates and applies shall be hereafter referred to as: "the Officers".
To the date of preparation of the Updated Compensation Policy, the Officers in the Company include the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the directors, the CEO of the Company and Officers reporting to the CEO, members of the Company's management, where some of those mentioned above also serve as officers in subsidiaries of the Company and/or grant them services.
As stated above, a document describing the Updated Compensation Policy is attached as Appendix A to this report, marking changes from the 2023 Compensation Policy. The Updated Compensation Policy prescribes the principles for determining the terms of office and employment of Officers in the Company, and as such addresses the following topics:
Variable financial compensation component The variable component is intended to link the performance of the Company, in general, and the performance of the Officer, in particular, to the compensation of the Officer. The variable component will be distributed as a monetary bonus to reward the Officer for his achievements and his contribution to the attainment of the Company's goals and its work plan in the period for which it is paid;
Share-based compensation Principles for the adoption of an Officers' equity compensation plan.
The principal changes stipulated within the Updated Compensation Policy, relative to the 2023 Compensation Policy, are as follows and/or relate to the following topics:
| Topic (and section number in the Updated Compensation Policy) |
Principal change |
|---|---|
| Car benefit (sec. 7.1.2.a.(1)) |
Due to frequent changes in the vehicle and leasing industry, the ceiling amount for the monthly vehicle lease payment has been omitted from the policy. Instead, the determination of this ceiling has been delegated to the Ancillary Terms Procedure, as shall be approved by the Company's Compensation Committee from time to time. Furthermore, the possibility of tax gross-up for the car benefit has been expanded from being applicable only to the Chairman and the CEO to all Officers (without any actual increase in the ceiling of the fixed compensation). |
| Approval of the fixed compensation for an Officer reporting to the CEO (sec. 7.2.2.B) |
The requirement for a special majority vote by the Compensation Committee to approve fixed compensation for an Officer reporting to the CEO in an annual amount (in employer cost terms) exceeding NIS 1.257 million (linked to the April 2023 CPI) has been cancelled (this constitutes the cancellation of an "intermediate threshold" only, which previously necessitated a special majority among the members of the Compensation Committee - a mechanism that is not customary among comparable public companies, and in any event, involves no real increase in the ceiling of the fixed compensation). |
| Quantitative bonus ceiling for Officers reporting to the CEO (sec. 9.2.1.A) |
To strengthen the link between the compensation of Officers reporting to the CEO and the Company's annual performance, the ceiling for the quantitative component of the annual bonus for an Officer reporting to the CEO has been increased from 4 monthly salaries to 5 (correspondingly, the ceiling for the total annual bonus for such an Officer has been increased from 7 monthly salaries to 8). |
| Share-based compensation – |
The option of granting restricted share units or |
|
|---|---|---|
| types of securities that can be | restricted shares has been omitted, so that only | |
| granted | warrants convertible into shares can be granted. | |
| (sec. 10.1) | ||
| Minimum vesting period | A clarification has been added, stating that the | |
| (sec.10.3) | vesting period of the first batch of the capital compensation will not be less than one year. |
|
| Share-based compensation ceiling for non-director Officers (sec. 10.4.1) |
To strengthen the link between the compensation of the Offices reporting to the CEO and the Company's longer-term performance, the ceiling for the value of equity compensation for an Officer (who is not a director) has been increased from 18 monthly salaries for a three-year period (an average of 6 monthly salaries per year) to 30 monthly salaries for a three-year period (an average of 10 monthly salaries per year).It is clarified that this amendment does not apply to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, for whom a different, unchanged ceiling is stipulated. Furthermore, the Company's CEO was granted equity compensation within the framework of a dedicated retention plan approved by the general meeting, which remains in effect (for additional details, see section 2.3.1 below). |
|
| The exercise price of warrants (sec. 10.7.2) |
Taking into consideration the Company's share performance over the past few years, the minimum spread for determining the exercise price of options has been increased from 105% (multiplied by the average closing prices of the Company's shares during a period of at least 30 trading days preceding the Board of Directors' resolution date) to 110%. |
|
| Calculation of the monetary benefit amount (sec. 10.7.3) |
The calculation of the monetary value of the benefit upon the exercise of options via a "cashless" mechanism shall be based on the (positive) difference between the exercise price, as set forth above, and the closing price of the Company's share on the last trading day preceding the date the Officer delivered the exercise notice (replacing the previous approach, which was based on the average of the |
|
| Company's share closing prices during the 30 trading days preceding the exercise date, which, according to the Compensation Committee's outside consultant, is less common in the market). |
| reasons, as well as in the event of a change in control of the company as a result of which trading in the company's shares has ceased. |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Advance notice period (sec. 13.1.2) |
The maximum advance notice period has been increased from ninety (90) days to one hundred and eighty (180) days. |
||
| Ratio of the fixed compensation to the variable compensation (sec. 14) |
The method of presenting the ratio has been changed from a direct ratio between fixed compensation and variable compensation to a ratio of variable compensation to the total aggregate compensation of the Company's officers, this at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee's outside consultant and in alignment with the practice of comparable public companies. In addition, following the increase in the ceilings for variable compensation, the maximum percentage of variable compensation (cash and equity combined) out of the Officers' total compensation has been increased from approximately 47% (using the new ratio presentation format) to 60%. |
||
| Compensation and reimbursement for foreign resident directors (sec. 17.4 and 17.5) |
The special compensation arrangements for foreign resident directors have been cancelled. |
The Updated Compensation Policy also includes data updates, proofreading and editorial corrections, as well as adjustments resulting from the changes detailed above.
It is hereby clarified that the stated in this section above is presented for convenience purposes only. For a full description of the changes introduced by the Updated Compensation Policy in relation to the 2023 Compensation Policy, please refer to the Updated Compensation Policy, marking the changes from the 2023 Compensation Policy, which is attached as Appendix A to this report.
The terms of office and employment for the Company's officers (excluding the Company's CEO) do not deviate from the provisions of the 2023 Compensation Policy. For information on the compensation of the five senior officers who received the highest compensation in the Company for the year 2024 (including the Company's CEO), see the disclosure under Regulation 21 in the "Additional Information" section included in the Company's periodic report for 2024, as published on March 4, 2025 (reference No.: 2025-01-014568). The information that is provided in said section is included in this report by way of reference.

The information that is provided in said section is included in this report by way of reference.
The Company CEO, Mr. Ittai Ben-Zeev, has been employed by the Company since January 1, 2017. In 2019 and 2023, two dedicated retention plans for the Company's CEO were approved by the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors, and the general meeting of the Company, which included compensation components that did not conform with the provisions of the Compensation Policy. For information regarding the CEO's retention plans, see the disclosure under Regulation 21 in the "Additional Information" section included in the Company's periodic report for 2024, as published on March 4, 2025 (reference no.: 2025-01-014568). The information that is provided in said section is included in this report by way of reference.
As stated in section 2.1 above, in accordance with the provisions of Amendment 20, the Company carried out a process for the formulation of an updated compensation policy, on the basis of the 2023 Compensation Policy. For this purpose, the Compensation Committee, in its meetings on September 16, 2025, October 15, 2025 and October 27, 2025, examined the background material presented to it (as described in section 2.3.3 below) by management of the Company, with guidance from its legal counsel and an outside consulting firm specializing in executive compensation, EY - Parthenon (hereafter: "the Outside Consultant"), which has extensive experience in consulting Israeli companies (including public companies) on these matters.
In preparation for the formulation of the Updated Compensation Policy, the Outside Consultant performed a comparative analysis of the compensation principles and ceiling amounts, as customarily granted to similar officers in comparable companies, based on the public policy documents of the comparable companies (benchmark study). The group of comparable companies was compiled based on the recommendation of the compensation consultant, alongside instructions and insights of the members of the Compensation Committee.
Pursuant to the stated above, on September 16, 2025, and October 15, 2025, the Compensation Committee held preliminary discussions of several principal issues pertaining to the Updated Compensation Policy, including the composition of the comparison group. The ensuing preliminary guidelines served as the basis for the draft Updated Compensation Policy that was presented to the Compensation Committee for approval. On October 27, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved the Updated Compensation Policy document and issued a unanimous recommendation to the Board of Directors of the Company in favor of the approval of the Updated Compensation Policy.
Following the aforesaid discussions and another preliminary discussion held by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 27, 2025, based on the background material that had been presented to it (as described in section 2.3.3 below) and taking into consideration the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, on November 11, 2025 the Company's Board of Directors unanimously resolved to approve the Updated Compensation Policy (as described in Appendix A to this report) and to submit it to the Company's general meeting for approval, in accordance with the provisions of Section 267A of the Companies Law.
The data presented to the directors in the various discussions concerning the approval of the Updated Compensation Policy included, among others, as follows:
a. The ratio of the cost of the Officers' terms of office and employment to the salary cost of the other employees of the Company (including contract workers), and more particularly the ratio in relation to the average salary cost and the median salary cost of the other employees of the Company, as well as the ratio in relation to the other employees' average and median overall cost of employment;
c. The Updated Compensation Policy was formulated, among others, in reference to the advancement of the Company's goals, its work plan and its policy in the long term; the creation of adequate incentives for the Officers in the Company, taking into consideration, inter alia, the Company's risk management policy; the size of the Company and the nature of its operations; and with regard to terms of office and employment that comprise variable components - the Officer's contribution to the
achievement of the Company's goals, all with a long-term perspective in mind and considering the specific duties of the Officer.
which outlines the scope of the Company's discretion in determining the terms of office and employment of the Officers in the Company, is reasonable and fair.
2.4. It should be noted that the Company is not a "public second-tier subsidiary", within its meaning in Section 267A(c) of the Companies Law.

Compensation policy for Company officers for 20232026, 2024 2027 and 2025 2028 –
(hereinafter – "the Policy" and/or "the Compensation Policy")
1.1 In November 2012, Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law, 1999 (hereinafter – "the Law" or "the Companies Law", as applicable) was published, which provides for the first time the statutory principles of a compensation policy for officers of a public company or a private company that is a debentures company. On August 1, 2019, following the completion of an IPO of the Company's shares and their listing for trade on The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, the Company became a public company.
The updated compensation policy, as detailed in this document, defines and details the Company's policy regarding compensation of its officers for the years 20232026, 2024 2027 and 20252028. This policy is the combined product of the provisions of Amendment No. 20 that are applicable to public companies, together with the "across-the-board" principles that the Company's Audit Committee, in its capacity as compensation committee (hereinafter – "the Compensation Committee"), and the Company's Board of Directors saw fit to adopt with respect to compensation of the Company's officers, while taking into account the Company's peculiar characteristics and the principles of the compensation policy set by the Company for the first time in 2018 and then when it was renewed in 2021and/or amended from time to time, as well as in accordance with the decision of the Shareholders meeting from January 2022 to establish a framework for granting capital compensation to the directors of the company (hereinafter: "the framework decision"). The various components of the compensation are intended to encourage the continued employment of the Company's officers, as well as to permit employment of new and quality officers, who will be able to contribute to the Company and to advance its goals.
In preparation for the updating the Compensation Policy, an outside consulting firm specializing in executive compensation was requested to carry out a benchmark study of the compensation components included in the compensation policies of public companies with characteristics similar to those of the Company in terms of sector and volume of operations. The Updated Compensation Policy was determined, inter alia, in reference to the data of the aforesaid benchmark study.
Company's undertakings and obligations vis-à-vis the officers in connection with their service and employment conditions in the Company, as they exist at the time of approval of the compensation policy.
In this Compensation Policy, the terms detailed below shall have the meanings set forth alongside thereto:
Regarding an officer that is a Company employee – the base monthly salary (gross), within the meaning thereof in Section 7.1.1 below, for the month of December of a calendar year. It is hereby clarified that the base monthly salary (gross) does not include the accompanying conditions, as defined in Section 2.9 below or any bonus or other payment;
Regarding the Chairman of the Board of Directors who provides services to the Company through a management company – management fees for the month of December of a calendar year.
2.9 "Accompanying amounts" provisions for social benefits, tax gross-ups, accompanying payments and reimbursement of expenses (including in respect of vehicles costs) as stated in Section 7.1.2 below;
2.10 "Variable compensation" cash bonuses and a share-based compensation, as stated in Sections 9 and 10 below, as well as an early notification fee, an adaptation grant and/or supplemental severance pay, as stated in Section 13 below;
The Compensation Policy is intended to assist in attaining the Company's long-term work targets and plans, by means of:
Set forth below are the general parameters that will be taken into account when examining the compensation conditions of the Company's officers:
4.4 Areas of the officer's responsibility as part of his position with the Company.
4.5 The Company's need to retain the officer in light of his qualifications, knowledge and/or special expertise.
In determination of the compensation conditions of a Company officer, an examination will be made of, among other things, the relationship between the total cost of the compensation of the Company officer and the total cost of the compensation of the Company's other employees and of the contractor workers employed at the Company, and in particular, the relationship of the average salary and the median salary of employees as stated and the impact of the differences between them on the employment relationships in the Company – this being while taking into account the nature of the officer's position, his seniority, the extent of the responsibility imposed on him and the number of the Company's employees. As part of the process of formulating the Compensation Policy detailed below, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors examined the relationship between the total cost of the compensation of each of the Company's officers and the total cost of the compensation of the rest of the Company's employees (including contractor workers) and the relationship between the total cost of the compensation that is possible in accordance with this Compensation Policy of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the CEO and the rest of the officers and the cost of the average salary and the median salary of the rest of the Company's employees (including contractor workers). The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believed that the said relationships are reasonable and that they do not have an unfavorable impact on the Company's work relationships.
Set forth below is detail of the relationships between the maximum total cost of the compensation of the Company's officers in accordance with this compensation policy1 and the total average/median compensation cost of the rest of the Company's employees and of the contractor workers employed at the Company (based on the actual total costs of the compensation in 2021 2024 of the rest of the Company's employees and of contractor workers)2 :
| Position | Ratio of the maximum compensation of the officer to the average compensation of the rest of the Company's employees (including contractor workers) |
Ratio of the maximum compensation of the officer to the median compensation of the rest of the Company's employees (including contractor workers |
|---|---|---|
| Chairman of the Board of Directors | 5.968 | 6.458.2 |
| CEO | 9.3510.2 | 10.1110.5 |
| officers reporting to the CEO | 4.747.2 | 5.127.4 |

2 Calculation of the total compensation of the rest of the Company's employees (including contractor workers) relates to the Company's employees that worked in all of 20192024.

If there is decrease in the CPI, the monthly salary will not decline, however the decrease in the CPI will be offset against the next update in respect of an increase in the CPI.
It is hereby clarified that the monthly salary includes recreation pay and the officer will not be entitled to payment of any recreation amounts in addition to his monthly salary.
