The notification relates to Citycon’s acquisition of a total of 9,500,000

subscribes to more shares of the Company or otherwise raises its proportion of
voting rights in the Company. Three members of the Board of Directors of Citycon
(Chairman Chaim Katzman, Zvi Gordon and Ofer Stark) have neither participated in
