Item 1
Q4 Dividend Distribution
The Company hereby reports that its Board of Directors, at its meeting held on February 13, 2018, resolved to declare a cash dividend out of the Company’s earnings from the fourth quarter of 2017, in the amount of about US$ 70 million or US$ 0.05400 per share.
Some shareholders will receive the dividend payment in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and need to take into account the following: the amount of the dividend per share is not final and is subject to changes due to the need to convert the amount from US dollars to NIS, according to Bank of Israel's representative exchange rate on February 27, 2018.
The dividend will be paid only to registered shareholders entitled to receive US$2 or more.
The record date is February 28, 2018 and the payment date is March 14, 2018. From the current dividend payment, Israeli tax will be withheld at the following rates: an Israeli‑resident company is exempt from payment of tax; an Israeli‑resident individual will be charged for withholding tax at the rate of 25%; and foreign residents (individuals and companies) will be charged for withholding tax at the rate of 25% or in accordance with the applicable international tax treaties – whichever is lower.
For additional information as to a possible refund procedure for taxes withheld in excess from non-Israeli shareholders per shares traded on NYSE, please visit the Company's webpage, by clicking this http://iclgroupv2.s3.amazonaws.com/corporate/wp-content/uploads/sites/1004/2017/02/tax%20withholding%20on%20dividends%20for%20shares%20traded%20out%20of%20Israel%20-%20ICL%20website.pdf
