DRAFT
At least two holders of Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy, holding or representing in the aggregate at least one-third of our voting power, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If no quorum is present within an hour after the time appointed for the holding of the Meeting, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairman of the Meeting may determine with the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the question of adjournment. If a quorum is not present within a half hour after the appointed time at the adjourned meeting, the presence of two shareholders in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person, by proxy or by electronic voting, is required to constitute approval of the sole Item on the agenda.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are also available to the public on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") at http://www.sec.gov.
Shareholders registered in the Company's shareholders register ("Registered Shareholders") may vote their Shares by attending the Meeting and voting their Shares in person, or by completing the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating it and mailing it either in the enclosed postage prepaid envelop or to the Company's offices. Registered Shareholders who vote their Shares by proxy must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certificate of incorporation, as the case may be.

Shareholders who hold their Shares in "street name" meaning in the name of a bank, broker or other record holder, through American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (AST), must either direct the record holder of their Shares how to vote their Shares or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote at the Meeting on behalf of the record holder together with a proof of such record holder with respect to the holding of the Shares on the record date. You should follow the directions provided by your broker or nominee regarding how to instruct them to vote your shares.
Shareholders who hold their Shares in "street name" meaning in the name of a bank, broker or other record holder, through members of the TASE, may vote their Shares either (i) in person or by proxy delivered to the Company together with an ownership certificate confirming their ownership of the Company's Shares on the record date, which certificate must be approved by a recognized financial institution, as required by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting) of 2000, as amended; or (ii) electronically via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority which vote shall be cast no later than July 25, 2017 at 05:00 a.m. Israel time. You may receive guidance on the use of the electronic voting system from the TASE member through which you hold your Shares.
Shareholders who vote their Shares via proxy card may use the form of proxy and the return envelope enclosed. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted at the Meeting. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange requirements, if a written proxy card is signed by a shareholder and returned without instructions, the Shares represented by the proxy will be voted "FOR" all of the proposals set forth above. If a shareholder instructs in a proxy to abstain from voting on a specific proposal, the Shares represented by such proxy will be deemed not to have been cast for the purpose of that particular proposal and, accordingly, such Shares shall not be counted in calculating the percentage of affirmative votes required for approval of such proposal, but they will be counted for the purpose of determining a quorum.
Shareholders may revoke their proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by returning a later-dated proxy card or by voting their Shares in person at the Meeting if the Shareholders are the record holder of the Shares and can provide evidence of such (i.e., a copy of certificate(s) evidencing their Shares). If a shareholder's proxy is not received by the Company no later than July 25, 2017 at 7:00 a.m. Israel time, it shall not be valid at the Meeting. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the chairman of the Meeting may, at his or her discretion, accept proxies after such time if he or she so deems fit.
Proxies for use at the Meeting that are being solicited by our management and Board of Directors will be mailed to shareholders and will be solicited primarily by mail. However, additional solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile or other means of contact by certain officers, employees or our agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor. We will bear the entire expense of solicitation, including the cost of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials. We will also reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding materials to record

holders and beneficial owners of Shares.

The following table sets forth certain information as of May 31, 2017 concerning: (i) persons or entities who, to our knowledge, beneficially own 5% or more of our outstanding Shares; and (ii) the number of Shares beneficially owned by all of our current directors and officers as a group1 :

1 Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally includes any Shares over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power. All shares subject to options, are currently exercisable and are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person, but are not deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. All information with respect to the beneficial ownership of any shareholder has been furnished by such shareholder or is based on the most recent Schedule 13D or 13G filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated below, we believe that persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the Shares shown as beneficially owned, subject to community property laws, where applicable. The Shares beneficially owned by our directors and officers may include Shares owned by their respective family members, as to which such directors and officers disclaim beneficial ownership.
2 The percentages of ownership are based on 9,190,808 Shares outstanding as of May 31, 2017.

YGA controls York Global Finance Manager, LLC, which is the manager of York Global Finance Offshore BDH, LLC, which is the 100% shareholder of York Global Finance Offshore BDH (Luxembourg) S.à.r.l ("BDH"), which, in turn, holds our Shares. Accordingly, YGA is deemed to have beneficial ownership over the Shares directly owned by BDH. James G. Dinan is the chairman and one of two senior managers of YGA. Daniel A. Schwartz is also a senior manager of YGA.

Davidson & Co., Davidson Kempner Partners, Davidson Kempner Institutional Partners, L.P., Davidson Kempner International Ltd., Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities Fund LP and Davidson Kempner Distressed Opportunities International Ltd.

At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve the appointment of EY Israel, as our independent auditors until next year's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and to authorize the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the audit committee, to determine their fees. The appointment has been recommended by our audit committee and our Board of Directors, which is also authorized to preapprove the fees of our independent auditors, in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. EY Israel has no relationship with us or with any of our affiliates, except as auditors.
On June 28, 2017, following approval by the audit committee and board of directors of the Company, the Company and Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a Member Firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (the "Former Auditor"), reached an understanding to end the engagement of the Former Auditor as the independent accountants of the Company effective immediately.
This understanding resulted from the previously announced notification by the Company's Former Auditor that it was unable to provide an unqualified audit opinion regarding the Company's financial statements for 2016 as a result of matters underlying the disclaimer made by KPMG Hungaria Kft., the former auditor of Plaza Centers N.V. ("Plaza") (LSE: PLAZ), an indirect subsidiary (45%) of the Company, in its report relating to Plaza's annual financial statements for 2016, which report expresses no opinion with regard to Plaza's financial statements.
In addition, on June 28, 2017, following approval by the audit committee and board of directors of the Company, the Company approved the engagement of EY Israel as the Company's new independent auditor, subject to shareholders' approval. EY Israel has also been retained by Plaza to serve as the independent accountants of Plaza.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter is required for the approval of this matter.
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:
"RESOLVED, that the appointment of KOST FORER GABBAY & KASIERER (A Member of EY Global), as our independent auditors until next year's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders be, and hereby is, approved, and that the Company's Board of Directors be, and hereby is, authorized, subject to the approval of the audit committee, to determine their fees."

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the proposed resolution.
The Board of Directors knows of no other matter to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters requiring a vote of the shareholders arises, including any matters or motions dealing with the conduct of the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the attached form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their best judgment.
Your prompt action is required to vote. Therefore, whether or not you expect to attend the Meeting, please complete and sign a form of proxy and return it to us, so that it is received at our offices at least four hours before the Meeting.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
Mr. Ron Hadassi Chairman of the Board of Directors
