- If the Revised Meeting is set to a time more than 48 hours after the original Meeting time, the new deadline will be 48 hours before the Revised Meeting time.
Completion and return of a signed Form of Proxy will not prevent you from attending the Meeting and voting in person, if you so wish.
-
- If you are a holder of Depositary Interests representing Ordinary shares admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange, please complete and return the Form of Direction (in accordance with the instructions set out in that document) such that the Registrar (Capita Asset Services, PXS, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, United Kingdom, [email protected]) receives it no later than 08:00 (London time) on Thursday, 5 January 2017. Holders of Depositary Interests cannot vote in person at the Meeting; therefore, please ensure that the Registrar receives your vote by this deadline.
-
- In the case of joint shareholders, the vote of the senior-most of such shareholders who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint shareholders, and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding.
-
- These procedures are subject to the provisions of the UK Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, and in the event of conflict with any other provisions, those set out in the UK Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 will prevail.
-
- As at 2 December 2016 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this notice) the Company's issued share capital with voting rights comprised 95,787,694 Ordinary Shares of NIS 0.01 each.
-
- Members attending the meeting have the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting, but no such answer need be given if (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
-
- Depositary Interest holders wishing to attend the meeting should contact the Depositary (Capita IRG Trustees Limited, The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU, United Kingdom, [email protected]) no later than 08:00 (London time) on Thursday, 5 January 2017 to request a letter of representation.

-
- CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
-
- In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to an instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent ID (RA10) by 08:00 (London time) on Thursday, 5 January 2017. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
-
- CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers, should note that CREST does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
-
- The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
-
- Relevant materials will be available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours from the date of this Notice for at least 15 minutes prior to the Meeting and during the Meeting.

- 1.2. up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to two-thirds of the Company's issued share capital in existence as of the date of the Annual General Meeting (such amount to be reduced by the aggregate nominal amount of any additional securities issued under sub-paragraph 1.1 above) in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue, open offer or other pre-emptive offer:
- (A) to shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be) to their existing holdings; and
- (B) to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or, subject to such rights, as the Directors otherwise consider necessary; and
- 1.3. from time to time in connection with a financing or refinancing of a single acquisition by the Company up to an aggregate nominal amount of 9.99% of the Company's issued share capital,
provided that the authority conferred by the resolutions set out in this paragraph 1 shall expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, save that the Company may before such expiry, revocation or variation make an offer or enter into an agreement which would or might require the Company to issue equity securities after such expiry, revocation or variation, and the Directors may issue and allot equity securities pursuant to such offer or agreement as if such authority had not expired or been revoked or varied;
