As consideration for the merger, the Target Company will allocate the allotted shares to Shuk TA Maschar Company and to Shuk TA Megurim Company. The number of allotted shares will be determined at the completion of the merger as a function of the value of the Target Company (after completion of the rst merger) divided by the closing price of all the company's shares on 31 December 2025.
It should be noted that shortly before the completion of the merger (as dened above), the company will publish a report regarding a non-material private offering in accordance with the Securities Regulations (Private Offering of Securities by a Registered Company), 2000, which will detail, among other things, the number of allotted company shares.

The merger does not require approval under section 320(c) or (d) of the Companies Law.
6 - -
The target company has not issued nor undertaken to issue any securities that are convertible into or exercisable for its shares.
In the company's view, the merger is not a material merger, even though according to the quantitative criteria set out in Regulation 37g(1) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, there is ostensibly a presumption that it is material. This is, among other reasons, for the following arguments:
A. The merger is a merger between a public company and a target company that is a private company wholly owned (indirectly), whose results are consolidated in the consolidated nancial statements of the company,
and therefore the operations of the company after the merger are in any event reected in its consolidated nancial statements,
and accordingly, the merger does not have a material impact on the company's consolidated nancial statements,
before and after the merger, and publishing a report in the format of a material merger would not provide new information to the investor in the company's securities;
and will not affect the company's ability to meet all its obligations, including
its obligations to holders of bonds and commercial papers issued by the company;
12.2.
On November 26, 2025, an approval was received from the Israel Securities Authority not to intervene in the company's position that this is a non-material merger.
This is a merger that is not material.
A. The merger is intended to streamline the group's structure, reduce operating costs, and create synergy between elds of activity,
while improving the capital structure and increasing managerial eciency.
B. There is no reasonable concern that as a result of the merger the company will not be able to meet its obligations to its creditors,
after the completion of the merger.
Respectfully,
Blue Square Real Estate Ltd.
