3.1.1. As a company subject to the Order for the Regulation of Security in Public Bodies (Definition of Defense Establishment Enterprises and Enterprises Manufacturing Products for the Defense Establishment) (hereinafter: the "Order") and which adopted provisions in its Articles of Association ensuring the vital interests of the State in the Company (as detailed in sub-article 12a of the Articles), and following the Company's desire to continue ensuring the vital interests of the State in the Company and to receive additional orders from the defense establishment, the Company seeks to update the Company's Articles of Association as detailed in the updated and marked Articles attached as Appendix B to this meeting summons, such that an amendment and/or cancellation of sub-article 12a shall be executed only by a special majority of $95\%$ of the total shares voting on the resolution for such amendment and/or cancellation (instead of a special majority of $75\%$ of the total shares voting on the resolution for such amendment and/or cancellation).

Proposed Resolution Language: Approval of the amendment to the Company's Articles of Association, in the version attached in Appendix B to the Meeting Summoning Report.
4. The Required Majority for Approval of the Resolution on the Agenda
4.1 In accordance with Section 20 of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (hereinafter: the "Companies Law") and the requirement of Article 12a of the Company's current Articles of Association, the majority required for approval of the resolution on the agenda is a majority of 95% of all votes of the shareholders present at the General Meeting who are entitled to vote and voted therein, without taking into account abstaining votes.
5. The Record Date
The Record Date for the purpose of eligibility to participate and vote in the Meeting as stated in Section 182(b) of the Companies Law and Regulation 3 of the Companies Regulations (Voting in Writing and Position Statements), 5766-2005 (hereinafter: the "Voting in Writing Regulations"), is June 1, 2026 (hereinafter: the "Record Date"). A person who has a share registered in their favor with a Stock Exchange Member, and that share is included among the shares registered in the Shareholder Register in the name of a Nominee Company, shall provide the Company with a certificate from the Stock Exchange Member with whom their right to the share is registered, regarding their ownership of the share on the Record Date, in accordance with the form in the Schedule to the Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of a Share for Voting at a General Meeting), 5760-2000.
6. Quorum and Adjourned Meeting
6.1 A quorum will be formed at the Meeting when at least two shareholders holding shares granting them at least 40% of the Company's shares are present, in person or by proxy, within half an hour of the time set for the start of the Meeting. If after half an hour from the time set for the start of the Meeting a quorum is not found, the Meeting shall be adjourned to the business day following the day of the Meeting, at the same time and place without further notice, or to such other day, time, and place as determined by the Board of Directors in a notice to shareholders, and at the adjourned meeting, the matters for which the first meeting was called will be discussed. If a quorum is not found at the adjourned meeting as stated, at least one shareholder, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum, unless it was convened upon the request of shareholders.
6.2 Where the Company announces an adjournment of the Meeting or in the event the Company decides to hold a continued meeting in accordance with Section 74 of the Companies Law, the electronic voting system will not be operated again and the system cannot be used to vote via an electronic voting ballot at the adjourned meeting or continued meeting as the case may be. The setting of an adjourned meeting or continued meeting does not prevent someone who voted via an electronic voting ballot at that meeting (prior to the adjournment of the meeting date) from changing their vote, however, a shareholder will be able to do so by other voting means, namely a written voting ballot, physical presence at the meeting, or voting by proxy. For the purpose of voting at an adjourned meeting or continued meeting, a shareholder will not be required to provide the Company with a new certificate of ownership. Also, a shareholder who used the electronic voting system to transfer only a certificate of ownership to the Company and seeks to vote by other voting means is not required to transfer a new certificate of ownership to the Company for the purpose of voting at the adjourned meeting or continued meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, votes cast in the electronic voting system until the time of its closure will be counted (unless later changed by the voter) within the framework of the results of the adjourned meeting or continued meeting both for the purpose of the required quorum at the meeting and for the purpose of calculating the meeting results.

all joint partners in the share notified the company in writing before one of them died of their desire that the provisions of this regulation shall not apply; however, this shall not exempt the estate of a joint owner of a share from any obligation the joint owner would have owed had they not died.
