Ratings issued by Midroog reflect Midroog's subjective opinions regarding the relative future credit risk of entities, obligations, debts and/or debt-like financial instruments, as of their publication or provision date, and as long as Midroog has not changed or discontinued the rating, and all materials, products, services and information published or provided by Midroog (hereinafter: "Midroog Materials"), may include such subjective opinions as stated above.

Midroog defines credit risk as the risk that the rated entity may not meet its contractual financial obligations on time, as well as the estimated financial loss in the event of default or in the event of the debt becoming impaired.

Midroog's ratings do not refer to any other risk, such as liquidity risk, market value, interest rate changes, price volatility or any other factor that may affect the capital market, except for credit risks.

Midroog's ratings, non-credit risk assessments (hereinafter: "Midroog Assessments") or any opinion included in Midroog Materials, do not constitute facts or historical data. Midroog Materials may also include quantitative assessments of credit risks, based on models, as well as opinions and comments regarding these assessments.

Midroog's credit ratings, Midroog Assessments, Midroog's opinions and other Midroog Materials do not constitute investment advice or financial advice, and are not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any securities.

Midroog's credit ratings, Midroog Assessments, Midroog's opinions and other Midroog Materials do not constitute an opinion regarding the suitability of any investment to the needs of a particular investor.

Midroog issues credit ratings, assessments and other opinions and publishes or provides Midroog Materials on the assumption and expectation that every investor will exercise due caution and make their own assessments regarding the advisability of purchasing, selling or continuing to hold any security. Midroog recommends that every private investor consult professional advice regarding the advisability of the investment, the applicable law, and any other professional matter, before making any investment decisions.

Midroog's ratings, Midroog Assessments and any other opinions or Midroog Materials are not intended for use by private investors. Private investors are hereby warned not to base investment decisions on Midroog Materials. A private investor who bases investment decisions on Midroog Materials does so recklessly and irresponsibly. Midroog recommends that every private investor consult a financial advisor or other professional advisor before making any investment decisions.

For the purpose of the opinions produced by Midroog, Midroog uses rating scales, according to the definitions detailed in each scale. The symbol chosen to reflect Midroog's opinion regarding credit risk reflects only a relative assessment of that risk. Midroog's ratings are not conducted on a global scale - they are opinions regarding the credit repayment ability of the issuer or issuance relative to that of other issuers or issuances in Israel.

Midroog's credit ratings, assessments and opinions and Midroog Materials are not intended for use as a "benchmark", as defined in the regulatory context, and should not be used in any way that may lead to them being considered a "benchmark".

Midroog does not provide any warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy of any rating, assessment or other opinion or information provided or created by Midroog in any way, or regarding their correctness at a certain date, or regarding their completeness, merchantability or fitness for any purpose.

Midroog is not responsible for the accuracy of the information. Midroog takes reasonable measures to ensure that the information it uses for rating purposes is of sufficient quality and comes from sources it considers reliable, including information received from independent third parties, as relevant. However, Midroog is not an auditing body and therefore cannot verify or validate the information received in each case during the rating process or during the preparation of Midroog Materials.

The content of Midroog Materials is not part of Midroog's methodology, except for those parts of the content that are explicitly stated to be part of the methodology.

Subject to any law, Midroog, its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, any entity that granted Midroog a license, and its suppliers (hereinafter: "Midroog Personnel"), shall not be liable to any person or entity for any indirect, special, consequential or incidental damage arising from the information in this document or from the use of such information or from the inability to use such information, even if Midroog or any of Midroog Personnel have been advised that such damage or loss may occur. Without derogating from the generality of the above, Midroog shall not be liable:

  • (A) for loss of profits in the present or future;
  • (B) for loss or damage resulting from a financial instrument that was not the focus of a specific Midroog credit rating.

Subject to any law, Midroog and Midroog Personnel shall not be liable to any person or entity for any direct damage or loss arising from the information contained in this document, or from its use or inability to use it, including, among others, for damage or loss resulting from their negligence (except for fraud, willful misconduct or any other action for which the law does not allow exemption from liability), or from an unforeseen event, whether such event is under the control of Midroog or Midroog Personnel, or not.

Midroog has adopted policies and procedures regarding rating independence and rating processes.
