In addition, the approval of proposal (2) requires that the shareholder approval include at least one-third of the shareholders other than the Company’s controlling shareholders, if any, who are present, in person or by proxy, and voting at the Meeting or, alternatively, the total shareholdings of the shareholders who vote against this proposal must not represent more than one percent of the voting rights in the Company. Under Israeli law, if a quorum is present in person or by proxy, broker nonvotes and abstentions will be disregarded and will have no effect on whether the requisite vote is obtained.

If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place.
