Quorum and Voting
Each ordinary share entitles the holder to one vote. An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote and voting thereon, is required to approve the proposal.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of two shareholders holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least one third of our company’s voting rights will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. No business will be considered or determined at the Meeting unless the requisite quorum is present within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time designated for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the following week, at the same time and place. At the adjourned Meeting, any two shareholders present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum. This notice shall serve as notice of such reconvened Meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened Meeting will be given to shareholders.
Holders of "Exceptional Holdings"[1] , as set forth in the Company's Articles, shall not have any voting rights at a General Meeting. Any shareholder participating in a General Meeting shall certify to the Company prior to the vote or, if the shareholder is voting by a proxy or any similar instrument, on such proxy card or similar instrument, as to whether or not his holdings in the Company or his vote require the approval of the Prime Minister of Israel and the Israeli Minister of Communications pursuant to the Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 1982 and the Communications Order; in the event that any shareholder does not provide such certification as aforesaid, he shall not be entitled to vote at a General Meeting and his vote shall not be counted for quorum purposes.
