Item 1

Appeal Filed against the Grant of Building Permit for Pond no. 4 in Rotem’s Plant in Israel

Further to Note 6.1 of the Company’s financial report for Q3 2017, the Company hereby gives notice that Adam Teva V’Din - Israeli Association for Environmental Protection (“ ATD ”) filed an appeal with the District Planning and Building Appeals Committee - Southern District (the “ Appeals Committee ”) against the Tamar Local Planning and Building Committee (the “ Local Committee ”) and subsidiary Rotem Amfert Negev Ltd. (“ Rotem ”), in connection with the decision of the Local Committee, published on 7 December 2017, to deny ATD’s objection, to approve a relief and to grant Rotem a building permit. The said permit pertains to the construction and operation of pond no. 4, to which phosphogypsum water, produced in the production processes at Rotem’s plant in the Negev in southern Israel, is discharged.

In its appeal, ATD argued that flaws occurred in the procedures for granting the permit or in discretion of the Local Committee that approved the relief and granted the permit as aforesaid.

The Company is reviewing the appeal and will deliver its response to the Appeals Committee. In the Company’s estimation, the chances that the claims made in the appeal are sustained, in whole or in part, are low; however, to the extent they are sustained in a manner that would cause expiry of the building permit, Rotem may have to halt the operation of part or all of the production facilities at its plant in the Negev, pending receipt of a new building permit.
