Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970 (the "Reporting Regulations"), the Securities Regulations (Private Offering of Securities in a Listed Company), 5760-2000 (hereinafter: the "Private Offering Regulations"), the Securities Regulations (Transaction Between a Company and a Controlling Shareholder Thereof), 5761-2001 (hereinafter: the "Controlling Shareholders Regulations"), the Companies Regulations (Notice and Announcement of a General Meeting and Class Meeting in a Public Company and Addition of an Item to the Agenda), 5760-2000 and the Companies Regulations (Written Ballot and Position Statement), 5766-2005 (the "Written Ballot Regulations"), Keystone Infra Ltd. (the "Company") is hereby honored to notify of the convening of a special general meeting of the shareholders of the Company, to be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 2:00 pm, at the offices of the Company at 4 Ariel Sharon Street, Givatayim (the "Meeting").

  1. General Background

The Company was established in 2019 as an infrastructure investment fund, against the background of the recommendations of the report of the Committee for the Promotion of the Establishment of Traded Infrastructure Investment Funds from June 2019 (the "Report"), which were intended to encourage the establishment of traded infrastructure investment funds. The Company was first offered to the public in accordance with the recommendations of the Report, in June 2021 (the "Offering").

The Company is managed by an external management company - N.K. Keystone Ltd. (the "Management Company"), pursuant to a management agreement (the "Management Agreement"). The Management Company is a corporation controlled by Messrs. Aharon


  • 2 -

(Roni) Naftali Biram (“Biram”), Gil and Esther Deutch (“Deutch”) and Navot Bar (“Bar”)¹, who are defined as Controlling Shareholders of the Company by virtue of rights granted in the Management Agreement (the “Controlling Shareholders”). According to its provisions, the Management Agreement shall remain in effect until the end of seven years from the Offering (the “Initial Agreement Period”). After the Initial Agreement Period, the term of the Management Agreement may be extended for additional periods of up to seven years each. The Management Agreement and the Articles of Association of the Company also anchor compensation rights for the Management Company in any case where the Management Agreement is not extended, according to its terms, for additional periods until the end of 14 years from the Offering (the “Compensation”).

Given the definition of Messrs. Biram, Deutch, and Bar as Controlling Shareholders, it is required under the Companies Law and the Companies Regulations (Relief in Transactions with Interested Parties), 5760-2000 to approve the Management Agreement no later than 5 years after the Offering, i.e. - by June 1, 2026. With a forward-looking perspective, and in order to ensure continued continuity and managerial stability for the long term and for the benefit of the Company, the Company, starting from August 2024, examined various alternatives regarding its management structure. In this framework, the Audit Committee of the Company, through the negotiation team mentioned below, accompanied, supervised, and mediated negotiations between the major institutional shareholders of the Company and the Management Company, and also conducted negotiations with the Management Company in connection with the proposed outline. Under the supervision of the Audit Committee, the negotiation team, in consultation with the institutional entities and with the Management Company and with their consent, formulated the comprehensive outline brought for approval within the framework of this General Meeting (the “Proposed Outline” or the “Management Structure Change”). As a result, the Altshuler Shaham Group, holding approximately 19.6% of the share capital of the Company, the Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Group, holding approximately 7.83% of the share capital of the Company (the “Institutional Entities”) as well as Avraham Rubinstein & Co. Construction Company Ltd., holding approximately 10.43% of the share capital of the Company, who are not interested parties in the decisions on the agenda and are not among the Controlling Shareholders, notified the Company that they will vote in favor of the Proposed Outline on the agenda.

For further details regarding the work of the Audit Committee, its various advisors and the Board of Directors of the Company, as well as fairness opinions regarding the fairness of the consideration (Fairness Opinion) (the “Fairness Opinions”), see, respectively, Appendices A and B to this Report.

If the Proposed Outline is approved: (1) the Company will cease to be managed by an external Management Company (as has been the case until now); (2) continued continuity and managerial stability in the Company for the long term and for the benefit of the Company will be ensured, while retaining all its managers and employees; (3) the Management Agreement will be transferred from the Management Company to a wholly owned subsidiary of the

¹ The management company is held through private companies – Telfox Ltd. (a company under the control and full ownership of Biram and Deutsch – 56.4%; and Rabtovan Management Ltd., under the control and full ownership of Bar – 37.6%) (the "Shareholders in the Management Company").


  • 3 -

Company so that management services will be provided to the Company through the subsidiary that will be owned and controlled by the Company; (4) as a result of all the above, the Company will, over time, achieve significant economic savings and cash flow improvement, as detailed in the Fairness Opinions. As stated in the Fairness Opinions, the total savings for the Company from the date of the change and onwards, as a result of the Proposed Outline (the transfer of the obligation to pay ongoing management fees, other benefits, and the Compensation from the Management Company to the subsidiary) less expected costs of internal management, is estimated (based on the assumptions taken in the Fairness Opinions) in the range between NIS 106 million and NIS 283 million. (5) the Controlling Shareholders, defined as such from the date of the Offering (by virtue of special rights granted to them in the Management Agreement), will continue to be considered Controlling Shareholders of the Company, by virtue of their existing holdings in the shares of the Company, which together with shares to be allocated to the Management Company within the framework of the Proposed Outline, will bring them to a holding rate in the issued share capital and voting rights in the General Meeting exceeding 25% (the "Control Group").

The Management Structure Change, subject to its approval and the fulfillment of the conditions precedent detailed in Section 2.1.2(D) below, will enter into effect on the Completion Date (as defined below), but retroactively from June 1, 2026 (the "Change Date"), and will be carried out as detailed below:

1) The Management Company will transfer to a new wholly owned subsidiary (the "New Company" or the "Subsidiary"), all management rights, engagements, and existing agreements for the purpose of managing the Company as of the Change Date. In addition, until the Completion Date, the Management Company will invest in the Subsidiary an amount of approximately NIS 52 million (the "Additional Amount"). The Additional Amount will be invested, at the discretion of the Management Company, in cash and/or in shares of the Company and/or in options for shares of the Company. This, by means of an asset transfer agreement between the Management Company and the New Company in accordance with and subject (inter alia) to the provisions of Section 104A of the Income Tax Ordinance (the "Asset Transfer Agreement" and the "Ordinance", respectively);

2) Immediately after the completion of the Asset Transfer Agreement, a merger will be carried out by way of a share swap, between the Company and the Management Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103T of the Ordinance (the "Merger"). Within the framework of the Merger, the Management Company will transfer to the Company the entire share capital of the New Company, in exchange for and against the allocation of shares of the Company to the Management Company (the "Allocation"), at a rate of 5% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately after the completion of the Merger (the "Share Swap Agreement" and the "Allocated Shares", respectively). The date of completion of the Share Swap Agreement shall hereinafter be called: the "Completion Date."

For further details regarding the Asset Transfer Agreement and the Share Swap Agreement, see Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 below.

3) An updated compensation policy for the Company will be approved, matching its new management structure; for further details see Section 7 and Appendix D below.

4) The office holders and managers employed by the Management Company will be employed by the Company, directly or indirectly. In this framework, updated compensation terms will be set for the Chairman of the Board and the CEO of the Company for a fixed period of 3 years from the Change Date. For further details see Appendices E and F below.

5) A new Articles of Association, suitable for the new management structure, will be adopted. For further details see Section 2.2 and Appendix C below.

6) The Controlling Shareholders, defined as such from the date of the Offering (by virtue of special rights granted to them in the Management Agreement), will continue to be considered Controlling Shareholders of the Company, by virtue of their existing holdings in the shares of the Company which, together with the Allocated Shares, will bring them to a holding in the Control Group. Approval of the Proposed Outline at the General Meeting that is the subject of this Report shall also constitute approval for the purpose of Section 328(B)(1) of the Companies Law.

  1. The Items on the Agenda of the Meeting and the Proposed Resolutions

The vote on the resolutions that are the subject of this Report shall be conducted in stages according to the order detailed in Section 2 herein. If a certain proposal does not receive the required majority, as detailed in Section 4 below, the vote on the remaining items on the agenda shall not continue, and all resolutions on the agenda shall be deemed not to have been adopted.

If all the resolutions detailed below are approved, they shall enter into effect on the Completion Date, and shall apply retroactively from the Change Date. This shall be the case, except for the arrangements during the interim period (the period from the Change Date until the Completion Date) detailed in Section 2.1.2(G) below, which shall have immediate effect, from the Change Date and onwards.

2.1. Change of the Management Structure of the Company

The change of the management structure of the Company is regulated by two agreements - the Asset Transfer Agreement and the Share Swap Agreement, whose main points are as follows:

2.1.1. Main Points of the Asset Transfer Agreement:

a. In accordance with the Asset Transfer Agreement, the Management Company shall transfer to the New Company the Management Agreement, the agreements and engagements into which the Management Company has entered for the purpose of managing the Company, including agreements with employees, suppliers, consultants, service providers, and any other third party, as well as equipment and fixed assets (of non-material value) used by the Management Company – and all with retroactive effect as of the Change Date (the “Transferred Assets”).


  • 5 -

b. The transfer of the Transferred Assets shall be carried out on the Completion Date, with retroactive effect from the Change Date. The Transferred Assets shall be transferred in their condition as at the Completion Date, and shortly after the Completion Date, a retroactive accounting to the Change Date shall be performed, such that all rights, assets, funds, debts, and obligations arising from the Transferred Assets whose cause originated in the period prior to the Change Date shall belong to or be imposed upon the Management Company, as the case may be; whereas with respect to the period from the Change Date and thereafter, all of the foregoing shall belong to or be imposed upon the Subsidiary, as the case may be. To the extent that it is not possible to assign or transfer an obligation or debt, then the Subsidiary shall be responsible for fulfilling such obligation or paying such debt to the Management Company, back-to-back, as if the Subsidiary were the obligor thereof; and vice versa, with respect to rights as of the Change Date.

c. The transfer of the Transferred Assets from the Management Company to the Subsidiary shall be carried out, inter alia, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 104A of the Ordinance.

d. Concurrently with the transfer of the Transferred Assets, the Management Company shall invest the Additional Amount in the Subsidiary. The Additional Amount shall be invested, at the discretion of the Management Company (to be decided no later than the Change Date), in cash and/or in shares of the Company (according to their market value as of the Change Date at the time of their transfer to the Subsidiary) and/or in options for shares of the Company (the value of which shall be determined according to the "Black-Scholes" formula based on the market value of the Company's shares as of the date of publication of this Report Change Date).

2.1.2. Main Points of the Share Swap Agreement:

a. The Company's engagement in a Merger Agreement by way of share swap with the Management Company, whereby the Company shall acquire and receive all (100%, on a fully diluted basis) of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Subsidiary, such that on the Completion Date they shall be clean and free from any lien, pledge, attachment, or other third-party right. In consideration, the Company shall allocate to the Management Company shares of the Company in a rate of 5% of its issued share capital immediately after completion of the Merger, all subject to the fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent (as detailed below).

b. According to the understandings reached with the Institutional Entities, the value of the Company for the purpose of the Merger shall be calculated at a rate of NIS 12.425 per ordinary share of the Company, which is the average price of the Company's share during the 60 trading days preceding March 15, 2026 (the date of the understandings with the Institutional Entities) (the "Agreed Company Value for the Purposes of the Merger"). The Agreed Company


  • 6 -

Value for the Purposes of the Merger shall be fixed and shall not change whether the price of the Company's share rises or falls until the Completion Date.

c. The Completion Date shall occur within five business days after the fulfillment (or waiver of fulfillment, as detailed below) of all the Conditions Precedent in the Share Swap Agreement.

d. The Merger shall be carried out in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 103T of the Ordinance.

e. Conditions Precedent to the Transaction – the Parties' obligations to complete the transaction are subject to the fulfillment of each of the following Conditions Precedent (the “Conditions Precedent”) by August 31, 2026 (the “Final Date”), unless the Parties have waived in writing the fulfillment of a certain Condition Precedent, in whole or in part, to the extent such waiver is permitted by law:

1) Receipt of approval of the Company's general meeting for the resolutions brought for its approval pursuant to this Report, prior to the Change Date;

2) Receipt of approval of the Competition Authority for the transaction, if required;

3) Receipt of approval of the Stock Exchange for the listing for trading of the shares allocated to the Management Company;

4) Receipt of a tax ruling, in a form and under conditions that shall not include material onerous conditions on any of the parties to the Share Swap Agreement that are not customary in such tax rulings (“Tax Ruling”); and it is clarified, (A) that if a Tax Ruling is received that includes material onerous conditions as stated in this Section, the parties shall in good faith examine the possibility of carrying out the transaction on the basis of an alternative Tax Ruling, provided that this shall not materially affect the economic rights of the parties under the agreement, and (B) that it is expected that the Tax Ruling will impose on the Company and on its holdings in the transferred shares restrictions and conditions, as required by the provisions of Part E'2 of the Income Tax Ordinance (Structural Change and Merger), and the Company agrees to accept and comply with such restrictions and conditions;

5) No order of a competent court or any other binding judicial decision shall be in effect at the time of fulfillment of the last of the other Conditions Precedent and which prohibits completion of the transaction.

If the Conditions Precedent are not fulfilled by the Final Date, the Share Swap Agreement shall expire, without any of the parties having any claim, demand, or cause of action against the other or anyone on its behalf, except in the case of a willful breach of the Share Swap Agreement by any of the parties.


  • 7 -

In the Share Swap Agreement, the Company was granted, in the event that any of the Conditions Precedent, including if the Tax Ruling is not received, is not fulfilled by August 31, 2026 (inclusive), the right to extend, by unilateral decision of the Audit Committee (without the need to reconfirm this decision at the general meeting), the Interim Period, from time to time, such that the Final Date shall be postponed to no later than February 28, 2027. For further details regarding the arrangements during the Interim Period, see Section (G) below.

f. The Share Swap Agreement includes a settlement clause between the parties with respect to the Interim Period, as set forth below.

g. It is further provided in the Share Swap Agreement that the Management Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, in full, until the end of the statute of limitations period, immediately upon its first demand, for any direct damage, including: for any loss, liability, payment, expense, fine, or claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees), that shall be caused to the Company and/or to the Subsidiary as a result of and/or in connection with:

1) Any claim or demand in connection with the Subsidiary, the cause of which arose prior to the Change Date and/or in connection with the Management Company's rights in the transferred shares;

2) In connection with any tax liability, to the extent imposed on the Company in connection with the execution of the transactions under this agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement – whether the Company became aware of their existence before the Completion Date or thereafter, except as a result of a breach of the provisions of law or the Tax Ruling by the Company.

In addition, the shareholders of the Management Company have undertaken to provide indemnification to the Company, proportionally according to their holdings in the Management Company, for any indemnification liability as aforesaid.

h. Until the Completion Date, the Management Company shall continue to provide management services to the Company during the advance notice period set forth in the existing Management Agreement, namely – for a period of up to 6 months commencing on June 1, 2026 and ending, at the latest, on November 30, 2026 (the "Interim Period"). In the event that the Tax Ruling is not received by the Final Date, the Company has been granted the right to extend, by unilateral decision of the Audit Committee (without the need to reconfirm this decision at the general meeting), the Interim Period, from time to time, such that the Final Date shall be postponed to no later than February 28, 2027.

During the Interim Period, the Management Company shall be entitled to receive payments (the "Arrangements during the Interim Period"), such that all profit arising from the provision of management services during the Interim Period shall be in the hands of the Subsidiary, all as detailed below:


  • 8 -

1) As of the beginning of the Interim Period, the Company shall not pay management fees to the Management Company (or any other consideration to which the Management Company is entitled in connection with the Management Agreement), and instead, from that date and thereafter, shall pay on an ongoing basis to the Management Company “back-to-back” the employment costs of its employees and office holders, as well as all other costs borne by the Management Company under the Management Agreement for the Company (the “Base Costs”). If the Merger is completed by the end of the Interim Period, the Management Company shall be entitled to receive, for the CEO and the Chairman, a supplement to the total Compensation due to them for the Interim Period, in accordance with the new Compensation terms that shall come into effect on the Completion Date. The Management Company shall not be entitled to any other payments for its services, except as provided in Section 2.1.2(G)(1) herein.

2) If the Merger is not completed during the Interim Period, due to non-receipt of a Tax Ruling to the satisfaction of the Company and the Management Company, the Management Company shall be entitled to receive, at the end of the Interim Period, management fees for the Interim Period in an amount equal to the average between annual management fees of NIS 18 million (plus VAT) and the management fees to which the Management Company is entitled during said period under the existing Management Agreement, less the Base Costs.

3) If the Merger is not completed for any other reason, the Management Company shall be entitled to receive, at the end of the Interim Period, the full amount of management fees to which it is entitled under the Management Agreement (or any other consideration to which the Management Company is entitled in connection with the Management Agreement), less the Base Costs.

In addition, in order to maintain continuity and managerial stability during the Interim Period, the validity of the Company's existing Compensation policy (the “Existing Compensation Policy”) shall be extended until the Completion Date; however, during the Interim Period the Company shall not pay amounts or grant Compensation to its Office Holders, unless such amount or Compensation is permitted both under the Existing Compensation Policy and under the Updated Compensation Policy, as defined below.

To the extent that the Company decides on a dividend distribution during the Interim Period, the Management Company shall be entitled to receive its theoretical share in such dividend, as if it held 5% of the Company's share capital at each such distribution date (the “Dividend Entitlement”). The Company and the Management Company shall act in concert in order to arrange the tax treatment of the amounts received by the Management Company by virtue of the Dividend Entitlement within the framework of the Tax Ruling, so


  • 9 -

that it shall resemble as much as possible the tax result that would have been obtained had the amount been distributed as a dividend directly to the Management Company.

i. Subject to completion of the Merger and the provisions of the Share Swap Agreement, each party to the Share Swap Agreement hereby waives, finally and irrevocably, any claim, argument, or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever against the other party to this Agreement in connection with the period preceding the Completion Date, without derogating from the rights of third parties under law and/or agreements. It is clarified that this waiver does not derogate from the Company's indemnification rights towards the Management Company as set forth in Section F above, as well as from the parties' rights arising from breach of representations, warranties, or undertakings given in the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is further clarified hereby that nothing in the Share Swap Agreement shall reduce or limit the liability of the Management Company for any act or omission performed by it as an Office Holder in the Company prior to the Completion Date, if and to the extent that such cause of action is discovered after the date of signing this Agreement, nor shall it reduce or limit the rights of the Management Company (including exemption, indemnification, or insurance coverage) in connection with any act or omission performed by it as an Office Holder in the Company and in connection with its professional liability prior to the Completion Date.

j. Within the framework of the Share Swap Agreement, the Management Company declared and undertook towards the Company that the Subsidiary was incorporated on March 18, 2026 as a special purpose company for the purpose of executing the transactions contemplated by the Share Swap Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement, and that from the date of its incorporation until the date of signing the Agreement, the Subsidiary has no business activity or obligations, and that as of the Completion Date, the Subsidiary shall have the following assets and liabilities (and only these assets and liabilities): (A) the Transferred Assets (as defined above); (B) the Additional Amount.

The Management Company also declared in the Share Swap Agreement that on the Change Date, the Company's obligations in respect of the Transferred Assets together with the obligations in respect of the new Compensation terms of the Company's CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, which shall enter into effect on the Completion Date (retroactively from the Change Date), shall not exceed a cumulative amount of NIS 18 million per year plus VAT as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this declaration shall prevent any changes, including by signing agreements and entering into new engagements or by making changes to existing agreements and engagements, which may increase the Company's obligations beyond the aforementioned amount (except for the CEO and Chairman agreements, which shall not be changed during the specified period stated in their agreements, except with the approval of the


  • 10 -

General Meeting), as may be required for the Company's needs, from the Change Date onwards and all subject to the approvals required by law.

k. The Company confirmed and undertook in the Share Swap Agreement that it shall adopt and assume the same arrangements for exemption from liability, indemnification, and insurance of Office Holders and professional liability, so as to maintain full continuity and complete identity in these matters for the Management Company and the other Office Holders who served in the Company on behalf of the Management Company. The Company undertook that if any claim is filed against any of the above and/or if any argument is raised against any of the above in connection with any act or omission of theirs in the Company prior to the Completion Date, it shall act to defend against such claims and arguments, and shall invest efforts and resources in this matter, in the same manner as would have been done had it been an employee of the Company or directly employed by it at that time. This undertaking shall also be deemed an undertaking in favor of the directors and Office Holders in the Management Company who served in the Company on behalf of the Management Company.

In addition, the Company undertook to maintain in force a combined policy for professional liability insurance and directors and officers liability insurance, which shall also be arranged for the Management Company (the "IMI Policy") such that the IMI Policy shall cover all directors and Office Holders in the Company, including the Management Company in its capacity as an Office Holder (as renewed from time to time), with liability limits and coverage terms in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Compensation policy and which are not less than the existing liability limits and coverage terms, and this until the Completion Date.

From the Completion Date and for a period of seven (7) years thereafter, the Company undertook to include Run-Off coverage within the IMI Policy for the directors and Office Holders of the Company, including the Management Company in its capacity as an Office Holder (as renewed from time to time), which shall cover their liability for acts or omissions that occurred prior to the Completion Date. Such coverage shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Compensation policy and on terms (including scope of coverage, exclusions, extensions, and conditions) that are not less than those in effect under the Company's IMI Policy prior to the transaction Completion Date and on terms identical to those that shall apply from time to time to the directors and Office Holders of the Company.

In the event that the IMI Policy is not renewed, is canceled, or ceases to provide the required coverage as stated above, at any time during this seven (7) year period, the Company shall purchase, at its own expense, a Run-Off policy for the remainder of this seven (7) year period to cover the liability of the directors and Office Holders (including the Management Company, in its capacity as an Office Holder) with liability limits and coverage terms in accordance with the


  • 11 -

provisions of the Company's Compensation policy and which are not less than the existing liability limits and coverage terms.

This undertaking shall also be deemed an undertaking in favor of the directors and Office Holders in the Management Company who served in the Company on behalf of the Management Company.

  1. It was further determined in the Share Swap Agreement that after the date of signing the Share Swap Agreement, decision-making and implementation of the Company's contractual rights and obligations under the Share Swap Agreement (including but not limited to all matters relating to dispute resolution) shall be carried out exclusively through the Company's Audit Committee, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Company's Audit Committee from requesting to receive relevant information and data on these matters and also from requesting to hear the position of the Company's management in relation thereto, without derogating from the exclusive discretion of this committee.

m. From an accounting perspective, the value of the Allocated Shares shall be attributed to share capital and premium, as follows:

1) To the extent that the Additional Amount is invested in the Subsidiary in cash, it shall be presented as cash against the issuance of capital; and to the extent that the Additional Amount is transferred to the Subsidiary in shares or options for shares of the Company – the value of this part shall be presented as a deduction from the Company's equity as the cost of acquiring treasury shares;

2) The remaining value of the Allocated Shares shall reduce the Company's retained earnings.

It is possible that part or all of the consideration for the Allocated Shares shall be deemed a "Distribution," as this term is defined in the Companies Law. As of December 31, 2025, the Company's retained earnings balance stands at approximately NIS 1.5 billion, and the completion of the Proposed Outline does not impair the Company's ability to meet its existing and expected obligations as they become due.

n. Approval of the Proposed Outline at the General Meeting to which this Report relates shall also constitute approval for the Controlling Shareholders to hold a Control Group for the purposes of Section 328(b)(1) of the Companies Law.

2.1.3. Summary of the proposed resolution wording:

"To approve (including for the purposes of Section 328(b)(1) of the Companies Law) the Company's entry into the Share Swap Agreement – the consideration for which shall, for the sake of caution, be deemed an exceptional private Allocation of the Allocated Shares – and as a result of which the Controlling Shareholders shall become a Control Group in the Company as detailed in Section 2.1 of the Notice of the Meeting; and including


  • 12 -

to approve the performance of all the Company's obligations under the Share Swap Agreement, including the arrangements for the Interim Period and the obligations related to the exemption, indemnification, and insurance arrangements IMI and Run-off, as detailed in Section 2.1 of the Notice of the Meeting."

2.2. Amendment of the Company's Articles of Association

2.2.1. Within the framework of the Management Structure Change of the Company, it is proposed to adopt new articles of association for the Company which shall be adapted to a regular corporate structure and shall set forth (inter alia) new mechanisms for the appointment of the Company's Board of Directors, in the wording attached to this Report as Appendix C (the “New Articles”).

Upon adoption of the New Articles, the existing articles of association shall be canceled and replaced, thereby (inter alia) canceling the current provisions in the Company's articles of association regarding the Management Company and the Management Agreement, including the Management Company's right to appoint directors, to receive management fees, the allocation of options to the Management Company in the event that the Company allocates shares, the mechanism for selecting a new Management Company and the payment mechanism to the Management Company in the event of non-renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional period, the mechanism for appointing a CEO, restrictions on shareholding and on distribution policy, and more.

“To approve the adoption of the New Articles for the Company, in the version attached as Appendix C to the Notice of the Meeting.”

2.3. Approval of Updated Compensation Policy

In addition, in order to maintain continuity and managerial stability during the Interim Period, the validity of the Existing Compensation Policy of the Company shall be extended until the Completion Date; however, during the Interim Period the Company shall not pay amounts or grant Compensation to its Office Holders, unless such amount or Compensation is permitted both under the Existing Compensation Policy and under the Updated Compensation Policy. For further details see Section 7 below.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified, with respect to options held by the Management Company, that the adoption of the new policy does not alter the right of the Management Company under the Existing Compensation Policy to

choose between “net exercise in shares” (“Cash less”) and exercise by payment of the exercise price of the said options in cash.

2.3.2. Summary of the Proposed Resolution Text:

“To approve the Updated Compensation Policy of the Company in the version attached as Appendix D to the Notice of the Meeting, for a period of three years; and to further approve that during the Interim Period (as defined in the Notice of the Meeting) the Existing Compensation Policy of the Company shall remain in effect, however, during this period, the Company shall not pay amounts or grant Compensation to its Office Holders, unless such amount or Compensation is permitted both under the Existing Compensation Policy and under the Updated Compensation Policy.”

  1. Additional Details Required under the Private Offering Regulations

5.1. Name of the Offeree, Names and Holdings of the Controlling Shareholders in the Offeree

As stated in Section 2.1 above, the Management Structure Change of the Company includes an Exceptional Private Offering², as defined in the Private Offering Regulations, pursuant to which ordinary shares of NIS 0.1 par value of the Company, constituting 5% of its issued share capital and voting rights after completion of the Merger, will be allocated to the Management Company (the "Offeree"). The number of Allocated Shares will be updated close to the Completion Date, in accordance with the issued share capital of the Company as it will be on the Completion Date.

The Controlling Shareholders hold, as of the date of this Report, 47,328,619 ordinary shares of the Company (also, as of the date of this Report, the Management Company also holds 8,774,533 non-tradable options for shares of the Company). Therefore, as a result of the Allocation, the Controlling Shareholders will become the Control Group of the Company (i.e., will hold shares of the Company conferring more than 25% of all voting rights at the General Meeting).

² For the avoidance of doubt, it is noted that the classification of the private placement as an irregular private placement was made as a precaution, since it is possible that, in light of the Management Company being a controlling shareholder in the Company (by virtue of the provisions of the Management Agreement) even prior to the merger, the placement does not meet the definition of an "Irregular Private Placement" under the Private Placement Regulations, but rather the definition of a "Material Private Placement."


  • 15 -

As stated above, as of the date of this Report, the Management Company holds 8,774,533 non-tradable options of the Company, exercisable into 8,774,533 ordinary shares of the Company, on the theoretical assumption of exercise of each option warrant into one share, i.e., without taking into account the net exercise mechanism. Pursuant to the provisions of the Management Agreement and the Existing Compensation Policy, the Management Company is entitled, at its discretion, to choose between “net exercise in shares” (“Cash less”) and exercise by payment of the exercise price of the options in cash. It is noted that the adoption of the Updated Compensation Policy does not derogate from the above provision.

5.2. Interested Party – To the best of the Company's knowledge, as of the date of this Report, the Offeree is an Interested Party as defined in Section 270(5) of the Companies Law, due to its being a material shareholder (as defined in the Companies Law).

5.3. Securities Proposed to be Issued and Their Terms

The Allocated Shares shall immediately upon their allocation constitute approximately 5% of the issued share capital of the Company and its voting rights, and approximately 4.79% of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company and its voting rights on a fully diluted basis⁴.

According to the understandings reached with the Institutional Entities, the Agreed Company Value for the Purposes of the Merger will be calculated at a rate of NIS 12.425 per ordinary share of the Company, which is the average price of the Company's share during the 60 trading days preceding March 15, 2026 (the date of the understandings with the Institutional Entities). The Agreed Company Value for the Purposes of the Merger shall be fixed and shall not change whether the price of the Company's share rises or falls until the Completion Date.

5.4. Data Regarding the Company's Shares; Holdings of the Offeree and Interested Parties in the Issued Share Capital and Voting Rights of the Company

The rights attached to the Offered Shares will grant the Offeree the rights attached to the existing ordinary shares of the Company.

The Existing Compensation Policy was prepared in accordance with the management structure of the Company at the time of the offering, according to which the Company was managed by the Management Company through the Management Agreement, pursuant to which the Management Company bore itself and at its own expense the Compensation costs (of all its components) of the Office Holders serving on its behalf in the Company. In addition, the Existing Compensation Policy included unique provisions regarding the consideration to which the Management Company is entitled under the Management Agreement, separately from the breakdown of Compensation components to which the Office Holders are entitled.

7.2. In order to ensure continuity and management stability in the Company upon completion of the Proposed Outline and as part thereof, it is proposed to adopt an Updated Compensation Policy that will enter into effect on the Change Date and apply retroactively, which will be adapted to the new management structure of the Company. Within this framework, the Updated Compensation Policy will not include provisions currently existing in the Existing Compensation Policy regarding the rights of the Management Company and the Management Agreement. In addition, the Updated Compensation Policy is adapted to changes that have occurred in the Company and in the business environment in which it operates in recent years, in particular the significant increase in the scope of its assets and in the scope of the resource system required for its management, as well as the accumulated experience in the Company from the implementation of the Compensation Policy during the period of the Existing Compensation Policy.

7.3. As part of its preparation for the adoption of an Updated Compensation Policy after completion of the Management Structure Change, the Audit Committee engaged an external consultant with experience in the field, who conducted a comparative data survey (Benchmark) for the Compensation of Office Holders in the Company, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO of the Company, who are among the Controlling Shareholders of the Company, in relation to comparative Compensation data of Office Holders in the peer companies examined ("Comparative Data Survey"). In addition, the Audit Committee was assisted by external legal advisors, for the purpose of formulating a proposal for the wording of the Updated Compensation Policy, as well as for the review and re-approval of the Compensation terms of Office Holders who are Controlling Shareholders in the Company, and for accompanying the members of the Audit Committee (also serving as the Compensation Committee) and the Board of Directors of the Company in such process.

7.4. Within the process of formulating and approving the Updated Compensation Policy, the Audit Committee (also serving as the Compensation Committee) and the Board of Directors of the Company examined, inter alia, the criteria listed in Section 267B(a) of the Companies Law, while referring to the matters detailed in Part A and Part B of the First


  • 22 -

Addendum A to the Companies Law, the Existing Compensation Policy and the need to update it or to update certain components thereof, as well as the data and background materials presented to them, including the Comparative Data Survey, including a comparative review of the main provisions of the Compensation Policy of the Company in relation to the Compensation Policy of the peer companies examined, data regarding the Compensation of Office Holders in the Company and the manner of compliance with the provisions of the Compensation Policy (including the ratio between the actual Compensation and the Compensation ceilings set in the Compensation Policy and the ratio between the variable components and the fixed components in the employment terms of the Office Holders) as well as data regarding the existing ratio between the cost of the terms of office and employment of the Office Holders in the Company and the average and median salary cost of all employees of the Group (including employees of the Company and employees of the Subsidiaries of the Company and the investee companies thereof (the "Group")), based on data for 2025.

7.5. On April 9, 12, 13, and 14, 2026 and on May 12 2026, the Audit Committee (also serving as the Compensation Committee) held discussions on the Compensation Policy, and after reviewing the data presented to it, and considering, inter alia, the considerations required under the Companies Law, decided to approve and recommend that the Board of Directors of the Company approve the Updated Compensation Policy.

7.6. On April 14, 2026 and May 12, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company discussed the Compensation Policy and, after reviewing the data presented to it and the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, including the wording of the Updated Compensation Policy, and considering, inter alia, the considerations required under the Companies Law, the Board of Directors decided to approve the Updated Compensation Policy as stated.

7.7. The full text of the Updated Compensation Policy submitted for approval by the General Meeting of the Company, as approved by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, is attached as Appendix D to this Report.

7.8. For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified, with respect to options allocated to the Management Company under the Existing Compensation Policy, that according to such policy the Management Company is entitled to choose between "net exercise in shares" ("Cash less") and settlement by payment of the exercise price of the options in cash; and that the adoption of the Updated Compensation Policy, within which the provisions relating to the Management Company were removed, does not derogate from the aforesaid right of choice of the Management Company.

7.9. The material updates made in the Updated Compensation Policy

The Updated Compensation Policy is based for the most part on the Existing Compensation Policy. Below is a summary of the main material changes in the Updated


  • 23 -

Base salary ceilings 7 6 The gross base salary ceiling of an active Chairman of the Board of Directors shall not exceed NIS 2,040 thousand per year (instead of NIS 3,000 thousand per year in the Existing Compensation Policy)⁷; the base salary ceiling of the CEO of the Company shall not exceed NIS 2,340 thousand per year (instead of NIS 3,000 thousand per year in the Existing Compensation Policy)⁸; the base salary ceiling of other Office Holders shall not exceed NIS 1,600 thousand per year (instead of NIS 2,000 thousand per year in the Existing Compensation Policy). In addition, it was added that the salary of Office Holders may be linked to the increase in the Consumer Price Index and that a deviation of up to 10% from the ceilings set above, including due to a non-material change in the employment terms of the Office Holders, shall not be considered a deviation or as a departure from the provisions of the Compensation Policy.
Ancillary conditions and benefits 8 7 With respect to social conditions, the provision was deleted according to which such conditions would be determined according to the provisions of the law as they may be from time to time.
Termination of the Engagement 10 9 Section 9.3 was added regarding the fact that the term of engagement of the Company (or its subsidiary, as applicable) with the Chairman of the Board of Directors

⁶ It is emphasized that this constitutes a concise summary of the proposed changes to the updated Compensation Policy, and review of this summary does not constitute a substitute for review of the full Compensation Policy.

In Section 9.4, the possibility was added for a one-time retirement/adaptation grant to Office Holders in an amount not to exceed 6 months of monthly employment cost for fixed Compensation, provided that retirement/adaptation grants will be approved for an Office Holder on condition that the departure of the Office Holder is not due to circumstances justifying the denial of severance pay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total Compensation for the notice period during which the Office Holder did not actually work and for the retirement/adaptation grant, together, shall not exceed 12 months of monthly employment cost for fixed Compensation.
Grants 11 10 Considering the nature of the Company's activity and the significant impact that exogenous events may have on the Company's activity, Section 10.2 of the Updated Compensation Policy added the possibility to re-examine the targets during the year in light of implications arising from exogenous events that were not included when setting the targets and to approve the necessary adjustments to the targets as a result. In addition, the list of examples of measurable organizational and personal targets that may be set was updated, and the limitation on the weighting of the organizational and personal targets was canceled. In Section 10.3 of the Updated Compensation Policy, it was determined that the annual grant to Office Holders subordinate to the CEO according to non-measurable criteria will be limited to up to three times the fixed Compensation (instead of six times in the Existing Compensation Policy). In Section 10.5 of the Updated Compensation Policy, it was clarified that the possibility to approve partial variable Compensation according to a pro rata portion of the calendar year also applies to an Office Holder who began serving in his position in the Company during a calendar year. Section 10.6 of the Policy was amended to add a threshold condition for payment of the portion of the annual bonus determined based on the degree of achievement of pre-established targets, namely, attainment of at least 50% of one of the following targets set for the relevant year: the annual return on equity target or the annual return on assets target, or the NAV growth target.

The retention grant and/or signing grant as stated will be conditional on a minimum term of office of two years from the date of its approval, and if the actual term of office is shorter, its relative portion will be returned. The ceiling of the special grant was updated to a multiple of six times the fixed Compensation (instead of three times in the Existing Compensation Policy). It was also added that the special grant, if it is decided to grant it, is subject to the total ceiling of possible variable Compensation together according to Sections 10.6 and 11.2 of the Updated Compensation Policy (so that the total variable Compensation to Office Holders subordinate to the CEO in the relevant grant year for the annual grant, the special grant, and the annual equity Compensation, shall not exceed the total ceilings together, cumulatively, according to Sections 10.6 and 11.2 of the Updated Compensation Policy).

The obligation that the equity Compensation for Office Holders will be determined, as far as possible, in advance and within the framework of the approval of the terms of employment, was also canceled. Regarding the terms of the equity Compensation, the Updated Compensation Policy determined that the vesting period of the first tranche of the equity Compensation to be granted to an Office Holder shall not be less than one year from the date of grant of such equity Compensation. It was further determined that the exercise price will be set according to the average closing price of the Company's share on the stock exchange during a period of not less than 30 trading days and not more than 60 trading days prior to the date of approval of the grant by the Company's Board of Directors, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Company's Board of Directors.

However, regarding acceleration of vesting, the Company will be entitled to determine full acceleration of the equity Compensation for an Office Holder only in the case of death, disability, medical reasons, and also the cessation of trading in the Company's shares. In addition, if the Company wishes to determine acceleration as a result of termination of employment or dismissal due to a change of control in the Company, acceleration will be allowed for the tranches that were supposed to vest during the 12 months following the end of the term, except with respect to the CEO of the Company. In addition, the equity Compensation sections for Office Holders employed by the Management Company were deleted.

7.11. Reasons of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company for approving the Updated Compensation Policy

Based on the data presented to the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, and taking into account the standards, parameters, and considerations listed in Section 267B of the Companies Law and detailed in the First Addendum A of the Companies Law, the Compensation Committee decided to approve and recommend that the Board of Directors of the Company approve the adoption of the Updated Compensation Policy of the Company, and the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of the Updated Compensation Policy of the Company, in light of the considerations and reasons detailed below:

1) Against the background of the Management Structure Change, within the framework of which the Office Holders serving in the Company will be transferred to be employed (or service providers) in the New Company, and with the aim of ensuring continuity and managerial stability in the Company upon completion of the Proposed Outline and as part thereof, there is a need to adopt an Updated Compensation Policy that will apply retroactively from the Change Date, which will be suitable for the corporate structure of public companies.

2) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company has been updated and adopted in light of the accumulated experience from the implementation of the Existing Compensation Policy during the period of the Existing Policy, and the significant developments in the scope of the Company's business activity during this period. Thus, within a few years, the Company has established its status as a central player in the infrastructure sector, and has succeeded in translating its investment strategy into building a significant portfolio that includes essential and central infrastructure assets in the Israeli (and global) market in the scope of approximately NIS 4.7 billion. The Company has led business and financial moves in its existing assets, which have been translated into increased cash flow and value creation for its shareholders. At the same time, the Company has recently deepened its activity in the initiation and development of infrastructure assets, which has also begun to be reflected in the value of its assets in the financial statements. These are significant achievements that attest to the expertise, unique experience, and proven execution ability of the Office Holders serving in the Company.

¹⁰ Assuming a rate of social and ancillary benefits of 40%.

3) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company advances the goals and objectives of the Company as determined within the framework of the multi-year strategy adopted by the Company for growth.¹¹

4) In the Company's assessment, the Updated Compensation Policy of the Company creates a fair, reasonable, and appropriate incentive system for the Office Holders in the Company, taking into account, inter alia, the characteristics of the Company, its business activity, its size, its risk management policy, and the resource system required for its management from an overall perspective.

5) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company provides the Company with managerial tools that grant effective ability to recruit, incentivize, retain, and motivate talented and skilled managers with potential for further advancement, suitable to lead the Company to sustainable long-term success, and who will lead the Company to achieve its vision and business objectives.

6) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company defines the appropriate ratio between the fixed compensation and the variable compensation of the Office Holders, according to their position and rank, in a manner that advances the objectives of the Company and creates an appropriate incentive for the Office Holders in the Company and is consistent with the risk policy of the Company.

7) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company maintains a reasonable and appropriate ratio between the compensation of the Office Holders and the average and median salary of the other employees of the Company, which is intended to maintain proper labor relations in the Company.

8) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company anchors the fixed compensation component of the Office Holders in the Company (base salary, ancillary conditions, and retirement conditions) and limits its scope in an appropriate and reasonable manner, allowing the scope of the fixed compensation to be adapted to the characteristics of the position and the personal characteristics of the Office Holder, taking into account comparative salary data surveyed by an external surveyor and subject to reasonable ceilings for the scope of the Office Holders' salary.

9) The entitlement of the Office Holders to an annual bonus is based on meeting objectives and appropriate business parameters that are consistent with the Company's business plan, and, as applicable, also taking into account, subject to the limitations set forth by law, the personal assessment of the Office Holder and his or her personal contribution to the Company in achieving the Company's objectives and maximizing its profits, all in order to create an appropriate long-term incentive for the Office Holders in the Company.

10) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company limits the maximum compensation amounts to which the Office Holders in the Company will be entitled

  • 30 -

to a reasonable and fair range, including taking into account the compensation levels customary among the comparison companies.

11) The Updated Compensation Policy enables the Company to grant equity compensation to Office Holders in the Company, in a manner that serves the interests of the Company, and provides the Company with an additional managerial tool to retain its Office Holders over time and also to incentivize the Office Holders in the Company to maximize the Company's profits from a long-term perspective.

12) For Office Holders in the Company who are Controlling Shareholders, uniform quantitative parameters have been set, which are consistent with the Company's business plan, in order to create a defined, structured, and uniform incentive, while aligning as much as possible between the Company's business objectives and the objectives and compensation components of the said Office Holders.

13) The Updated Compensation Policy grants the Board of Directors of the Company the authority to examine the reasonableness of the annual bonus and to reduce it if necessary, thereby enabling the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors to adjust the scope of the compensation of the Office Holders, inter alia, in the event of a decrease in the value of the Company or its assets, or taking into account the state of the economy as a whole.

14) The Updated Compensation Policy of the Company is consistent with the provisions of the law and the principles established in the Companies Law, and properly and appropriately anchors the entirety of the compensation to which the Office Holders in the Company are entitled.

Taking into account all the parameters, considerations, and reasons detailed above, the members of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors are of the opinion that the Updated Compensation Policy of the Company is appropriate, reasonable, and serves the interests of the Company and its shareholders from a long-term perspective, inter alia, taking into account the Company's plans, its business objectives, and its risk management policy.

It should be noted that the decision of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors regarding the adoption of the Updated Compensation Policy was made with the consent of all members of the Compensation Committee as well as all members of the Board of Directors, based on the reasons and considerations detailed above.

Re: Fairness Opinion regarding the Merger Transaction (by way of share swap) between Keystone Infra Ltd. and the management company N.K. Keystone Ltd.

Executive Summary

Background and Structure of the Transaction: At the request of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Keystone Infra Ltd. (the "Keystone" or the "Company"), we have examined, from an economic perspective, the fairness of the terms of the merger transaction by way of share swap (the "Merger") between the Company and its management company N.K. Keystone Ltd. (the "Management Company"). According to the information provided to us, the Merger will consist of two stages: (1) the Management Company will transfer to a new wholly owned subsidiary (the "New Company" or the "Subsidiary") all management rights, engagements, and agreements existing for the purpose of managing the Company (the "Transferred Assets"). In addition, the Management Company will invest in the Subsidiary an amount of approximately NIS 52 million (the "Additional Amount") (together: the "Asset Transfer Agreement"). The Additional Amount will be invested, at the discretion of the Management Company, in cash and/or in shares of the Company and/or in options for shares of the Company. (2) Immediately after completion of the Asset Transfer Agreement, a share swap will be carried out between the Company and the Management Company within the framework of a merger agreement by way of share swap (the "Merger Agreement"). Within the framework of the Merger Agreement, the Management Company will transfer to the Company the entire share capital of the New Company, in exchange for and against the allocation of shares of the Company to the Management Company (the "Allocation"), at a rate of $5\%$ of the issued share capital of the Company after completion of the Merger (the "Allocated Shares"). According to the understandings reached with the institutional entities who are the major shareholders in the Company (the "Institutional Entities"), the value of the Company for the purpose of the Merger will be calculated at a rate of NIS 12.425 per ordinary share of the Company, which is the average rate of the Company's share during the 60 trading days preceding March 15, 2026 (the date of formulation of the understandings with the Institutional Entities) (the "Agreed Company Value with the Institutional Entities for the Purpose of the Merger"). The Agreed Company Value with the Institutional Entities for the purpose of the Merger will be fixed and will not change whether the Company's share price rises or falls until the completion date.

The process under review includes a fundamental change in the Company's management structure, such that the Company will cease to be managed through an external management company (as has been the case until now).

Review Methodology: The fairness of the consideration within the Merger was examined based on an economic comparison between two main components:

  1. The cost to the Company: the value of the economic consideration transferred (the value of the Allocated Shares, net of the Additional Amount).
  2. The savings to the Company: the present value of the management fees and compensation mechanisms that will be saved by the Company as a result of the transfer of the existing management agreement from the Management Company to the Subsidiary.

Estimate of the Cost to the Company (Fixed in All Alternatives): The Additional Amount stands at approximately NIS 52 million. After deducting it from the value of the Allocated Shares (which were estimated according to a 60-day average rate, 5 days, and accounting equity), the net economic cost to the Company is estimated in the range of NIS 70 to 101 million.

Estimate of the Savings to the Company and Weighting of the Alternatives: In light of the uncertainty regarding the manner and timing of the termination of the management agreement, the savings to the Company were examined under three reasonable alternatives for the continuation or termination of the engagement. In addition, weights were assigned to each alternative according to the likelihood of its realization for the purpose of presenting a weighted alternative:

a. Alternative A (Long-term Extension until 2035 without Compensation) – the weight assigned for the weighted alternative - 20%. The savings derive from the cancellation of payment of management fees¹ to an external management company, net of alternative internal management costs. The net economic savings are estimated at approximately NIS 283 million. After deducting the cost of the Allocated Shares, the net economic savings to the Company are estimated at approximately NIS 182 to 213 million.
b. Alternative B (Short-term Extension until 2028 and Payment of Compensation) – the weight assigned for the weighted alternative - 30%. The savings derive from the cancellation of management fees² to an external management company, net of alternative internal management costs until 2028, and from the cancellation of the obligation to pay compensation components at the time of non-renewal of the management agreement, as detailed below. The net economic savings are estimated at approximately NIS 169 million. After deducting the cost of the Allocated Shares, the net economic savings to the Company are estimated at approximately NIS 69 to 100 million.
c. Alternative C (Immediate Termination and Immediate Payment of Compensation) – the weight assigned for the weighted alternative - 50%. The savings derive from the cancellation of the obligation to pay immediate compensation components, as detailed below. The economic savings are estimated at approximately NIS 106 million. After deducting the cost of the Allocated Shares, the net economic savings to the Company are estimated at approximately NIS 6 to 36 million.

Our findings indicate that in each of the analysis alternatives, as well as in their weighted expected value (which weights all three alternatives together), the economic value of the

savings in costs and cancellation of future obligations, net of alternative internal management costs, exceeds the net economic cost of the Allocated Shares in the transaction.

In light of the above, our conclusion is that the transaction for the allocation of shares and the merger of the New Company reflects, from an economic perspective, a transaction conducted at a fair and reasonable value (Fair and Reasonable) for Keystone.

1. Purpose of the Work

At the request of the Audit Committee of Keystone, we were asked to provide our professional opinion regarding the fairness of the Merger consideration.

The main purpose of this work is to examine, from an economic perspective, the fairness of the allocation of the Allocated Shares to the Management Company, as a result of the merger of the New Company into the Company.

The cut-off date for examining the fairness of the Merger transaction was set for March 15, 2026 (the "Valuation Date"). This date was set at the request of the Audit Committee, as it represents the cut-off date preceding the final agreements with the Institutional Entities, and the approval of the investment committees of these entities for the understandings in connection with the Merger.

This opinion details the methodology, main assumptions, and economic analyses that we used to examine the fairness of the transaction. However, the description presented in the document does not purport to be complete and detailed with respect to all relevant facts or procedures that were applied by us in the course of the work.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that this document does not constitute a recommendation, of any kind, to carry out or not to carry out the Merger transaction and the allocation of shares.

It is clarified that our role in this work was limited to examining the fairness of the consideration in the Merger transaction from an economic perspective only. In the course of our work, we were not requested, and in any event did not advise the Company or the Audit Committee, regarding the conduct of negotiations, the examination of other strategic or commercial alternatives available to the Company, or the legal and tax implications arising from the implementation of the outline. This opinion is submitted subject to all the assumptions and conditions detailed in Appendix A (the "Limiting Conditions") attached to this document.

2. Sources of Information

a. Audited and reviewed financial statements of the Company and immediate reports of the Company.
b. The agreement for the provision of management services signed between Keystone and the Management Company on September 12, 2019, effective as of February 18, 2019.

It is clarified that the Management Company does not bear the costs of engagement with consultants, service providers, and external contractors (such as attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, brokers, etc.) involved in the execution of transactions or in the examination of transactions for the Company. These costs are paid by the Company directly to the consultants, service providers, and contractors.

In addition, the Management Agreement includes a provision regarding reimbursement of expenses to the Management Company for direct expenses in a reasonable amount incurred by it for the advancement of the Company’s business, in accordance with the Company’s procedures and the approvals determined for this purpose.

The Management Agreement sets forth provisions for compensation to the Management Company, in the event that at any time the agreement is not renewed or approved for a total period of 14 years from the date of the Company’s public offering (June 1, 2021):

a. Advance notice – Advance notice of 6 months from the end of the term of the Management Agreement (during which the Management Company shall be entitled to all payments and rights due to it under the agreement, but shall not provide actual management services to the Company, unless and to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company requests otherwise);

b. Reduction of the exercise price of the options – A reduction of 50% in the exercise price of the options held by the Management Company; and

c. Cash compensation – The right of the Management Company to receive cash compensation from the Company, in an amount equal to the amount of the management fees as a percentage of the asset volume to which the Management Company is entitled for 6 months, plus the amount of the management fees as a percentage of the asset volume to which the Management Company is entitled for one month, multiplied by the number of full years (or partial years) that have elapsed from the effective date of the Management Agreement until its expiration.

3.6. Consideration payments to the Management Company

Below are the components of the consideration payments that the Management Company is entitled to receive from the Company:

a. Management fees as a percentage of the asset volume – According to the Management Agreement, in consideration for the management services, the Company shall pay annual management fees derived from the value of the Company’s assets as presented in the books, including cash and cash equivalents, calculated periodically, according to the balance of assets included in the latest published financial statements (audited or reviewed) of the Company for that period, at an annual rate of 1% plus VAT.

In this regard, it is clarified that if any asset is not presented in the statement of financial position of the Company at fair value, but its fair value is presented in the notes to the financial statements, the value of such asset shall be calculated according to the fair value as presented in the notes as aforesaid. If the fair value of the asset is also not presented in the notes to the financial statements, the Company and the Management Company shall, by agreement, make the necessary adjustments in the calculation of the management fees in order to achieve an identical or as close as possible economic result to the calculation made in the case where the fair value of the asset appears in the financial statements. In the event of a dispute between the parties, the parties shall refer the matter to an agreed accounting adjudicator whose decision shall be binding on the parties.

b. Allocation of options – In addition to management fees derived as a percentage of the asset volume, the Management Agreement provides that in any case where the Company allocates shares, whether within the framework of a public offering or within the framework of a private

allocation, the Company shall allocate to the Management Company, without any additional consideration, options which may be exercised, all or part, at any time during a period of seven years from the date of allocation, for the purchase of shares of the Company, at a rate equal to 5% (five percent) of the total shares to be allocated within the allocation.

4. The Merger transaction between Keystone and the Management Company

According to information provided to us and information appearing in Note 12 to the audited financial statements of Keystone for 2025, the Company is examining the possibility of a fundamental change in the manner of the Company's management structure, as a result of which the Company will cease to be managed through an external Management Company (N.K. Keystone Ltd.) (the "Structural Change"). Accordingly, no further management fees and additional benefits will be paid to an external Management Company. Within the framework of the said structural change process, a Merger will be carried out by way of a share swap transaction, according to Chapter Three of the Income Tax Ordinance, within which the entire share capital of the New Company will be transferred to Keystone, and in return, shares of Keystone will be allocated to the Management Company at a rate of 5% of the issued share capital of Keystone after the Merger (above and hereinafter: the "Allocated Shares") (above and hereinafter: the "Merger"). It was further determined that the Subsidiary will include the Additional Amount as defined above.

Below is a schematic description of the Merger transaction:

5. The process of approving the Merger transaction and the work of the Audit Committee

Grant Thornton

Below is a concise description of the process for examining the approval of the Merger, as provided to us by representatives of the Audit Committee:

  • Appointment of the Audit Committee and independent advisors – The Audit Committee of the Company, through its negotiation team as defined below, accompanied, mediated, and supervised negotiations between the Institutional Entities and the Management Company and even conducted negotiations with the Management Company in connection with the Merger. Under the supervision of the Audit Committee, the negotiation team, in coordination with the Institutional Entities and with their consent, formulated the Merger outline. The Audit Committee was composed solely of external directors, with no connection to the Management Company or its controlling shareholders, and acted independently to determine its work procedures. For the purpose of examining the outline, the committee appointed a number of professional and independent advisors: Herzog Fox & Neeman Law Office as legal advisors, Prof. Assaf Hamdani as an additional legal advisor, Clear Structure as economic advisors, and our services were also retained to provide fairness opinions. In addition, Adv. Ehud Sol and Adv. Ilanit Landesman-Yogev were appointed as the negotiation team through whom the committee accompanied and mediated the negotiations between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities, resulting in the proposed outline (“Negotiation Team”).

  • Committee Work Process and Examination of Alternatives – According to the information provided by representatives of the Audit Committee, the negotiation process was intensive and lasted for more than a year and a half (approximately 20 months), during which the Committee held approximately 40 meetings that were documented in protocols. In light of the characteristics of the transaction, the Committee reached the conclusion that the lengthy negotiation conducted between the Institutional Entities and the Controlling Shareholders constitutes an “other process” (and not a “competitive process” as defined in the Companies Law), which provides a proper process intended to maximize the consideration for the Company. In the course of its discussions, the Committee examined various alternatives to the Merger structure, including: (1) termination of the Existing Management Agreement and identification of an alternative Management Company or alternative management; (2) negotiation for the extension of the Existing Management Agreement under its current terms; and (3) waiver of rights by the Controlling Shareholders. The Committee’s conclusion was that there is a decisive importance to maintaining management continuity while reducing the resources that the Company will be required to bear in order to achieve this goal, especially in light of the control permits and licenses required for the Company’s operations.

  • Advantages of the Merger Transaction Structure – The Audit Committee listed, inter alia, the following advantages of the Merger transaction:

  • Significant savings and improvement in cash flow – According to the proposed structure, the management costs that were paid until now to the Management Company were significantly reduced, in exchange for a one-time Allocation of shares of the Company. Accordingly, in the Committee’s assessment, the significant reduction in management costs will lead to significant economic savings over time and to a significant improvement in the Company’s cash flow.

Fahn Kanne Consulting Ltd. is a subsidiary of Fahn Kanne & Co., the Israeli member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd.


Grant Thornton

  • Reduction of uncertainty (management continuity) - The proposed structure provides a significant advantage in the continuity and management continuity in the Company, through the parties who have led the Company to very impressive achievements over its years of activity and who have experience and deep familiarity with the Company's operations, its plans, and its business environment, as well as extensive connections in the Israeli capital market. Such a move has the potential to ensure that their deep familiarity with the Company's business operations, alongside their expertise, connections, and experience, which constitute critical components in the Company's success and continued development in the infrastructure sector, will be retained in the Company for an additional period. Beyond the above, maintaining management continuity is of significant importance to the Company's operations, considering the control permits and licenses required in relation to part of the Company's operations.

  • Agreed and “final” update - In the Committee’s assessment, unlike other structures adopted by other public funds, the proposed structure leads to an agreed and “final” simplification of the Company’s management structure, obviating the need for further examination of the Company’s management structure and for approval of a new Management Agreement by the Company’s competent organs at the end of each management period, alongside the preservation of the Company’s operations and continuity.

  • Support from significant shareholders - The proposed structure can be completed with a high degree of certainty - the support of the Institutional Entities, which was obtained after a long and thorough negotiation between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities, constitutes, in the Committee’s assessment, another significant indication of the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration. In addition, such support constitutes a significant indication of the likelihood of approval of the proposed structure by the minority shareholders of the Company. In addition to the above, for the completion of the transaction there are material conditions precedent, and in the Company’s assessment, in accordance with the position of the Company’s legal advisors and those of the Management Company, there are significant indications that the proposed structure may be completed.

6. Methodology

6.1. Alternatives for Continued Management Operations

The Merger transaction being formulated is expected to generate significant economic savings for Keystone, resulting from the fact that the Company will cease to be managed by an external Management Company (as has been the case until now) and the transfer of the Management Agreement to the Subsidiary.

In light of this, the methodology for examining the fairness of the Merger transaction is based on an estimate of the present value of the expected financial savings for Keystone. This saving was calculated based on the Company's avoidance of future Management Fees payments to the Management Company, plus the saving resulting from the non-activation of compensation mechanisms to which the Management Company is entitled under certain conditions (such as cash compensation and reduction of exercise price for options), as detailed in the Management Agreement.

Fahn Kanne Consulting Ltd. is a subsidiary of Fahn Kanne & Co., the Israeli member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd.


Grant Thornton

For the purpose of substantiating this estimate, we were requested by the Audit Committee of the Company to examine the move under three reasonable alternatives relating to the continuation or termination of the engagement with the Management Company:

  1. Alternative A (Long-term extension without compensation) - In this alternative, the economic saving was examined under the assumption that the Management Agreement would be extended until the end of the maximum period for which the Management Company is entitled to compensation (i.e., 14 years from the date of the Company’s share issuance to the public). This means completion of the first period of the agreement (approximately two more years until June 1, 2028), plus its extension by an additional 7 years (until June 1, 2035). It was assumed that at the end of these two periods, the engagement would end without the Management Company being entitled to any compensation mechanism (“Alternative A”).

  2. Alternative B (Short-term extension and payment of compensation at its end) - In this alternative, the economic saving was examined under the assumption that the Management Agreement would be extended by only two additional years, for the completion of the first period of 7 years from the date of the issuance, and would end on June 1, 2028 (without a further 7-year extension). Accordingly, it was assumed that upon termination of the Management Agreement at the end of this period, the Management Company would be entitled to receive the full compensation, as set forth in the provisions of the Management Agreement (“Alternative B”).

  3. Alternative C (Immediate termination and immediate payment of compensation) - In this alternative, the economic saving was examined under the assumption of immediate termination (no extension) of the existing Management Agreement. Under this scenario, it was assumed that the Management Company would be immediately entitled to payment of the compensation for termination of the agreement, in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement (“Alternative C”).

The net saving expected for the Company under each of the alternatives was estimated as the difference between the following two components:

  1. The cost to the Company - The value of Keystone shares to be Allocated to the Management Company (net of the Additional Amount).

  2. The saving to the Company - The present value of the costs that Keystone would have been expected to bear for the continued existence of the existing Management Agreement until its expected end date under each of Alternatives A and B, less the costs of alternative internal management or for the immediate termination of the Management Agreement according to Alternative C.

6.2. Weighting of the Alternatives

Since the continuation of the engagement with the Management Company or its termination is subject to future decisions of the competent organs in the Company and is affected by market conditions, there is inherent uncertainty regarding the exact scenario that would materialize in practice if the Merger transaction does not proceed.

Fahn Kanne Consulting Ltd. is a subsidiary of Fahn Kanne & Co., the Israeli member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd.


Grant Thornton

In order to address this uncertainty and to reflect the weighted economic value of the expected saving to the Company under the range of possible scenarios, probabilities (weights) were assigned to each of the three alternatives. These weights reflect the Audit Committee’s assessment of the likelihood of their realization, in light of the provisions of the Management Agreement and the dynamics with the Institutional Entities.

Below are the weights assigned to each of the alternatives:

  • Alternative A (Continuation of the Management Agreement until the end of the period for which the Management Company is entitled to compensation - until June 1, 2035) - weight of 20%.
  • Alternative B (Continuation of the Management Agreement for a short period of only two additional years until June 1, 2028) - weight of 30%.
  • Alternative C (Immediate termination and non-extension of the Management Agreement) - weight of 50%.

These weights in practice reflect the assessment regarding the likelihood of realization of each of the options available to the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreement.

The rationale for determining these weights is based on the following considerations:

a. Equal weight between the scenario of termination of the agreement and the scenario of its continuation - A weight of 50% was assigned to the possibility of immediate termination of the Management Agreement (Alternative C), versus a cumulative weight of 50% for the possibility of its continuation (composed of Alternatives A and B together). This division reflects, on the one hand, the upcoming exit point available to the Company and the preference for cancellation of the external management mechanism. On the other hand, it takes into account the advantages of management continuity, which might have led the Company to choose to continue the engagement in its existing format in the absence of a Merger transaction.

b. Preference for short-term extension over long-term under the scenario of continuation of the agreement - Of the total weight of 50% assigned to the continuation of the Management Agreement, a higher probability (30%) was assigned to the extension of the agreement for a short period of approximately two additional years (Alternative B), compared to a lower probability (20%) for its extension for a long term of approximately 9 additional years until 2035 (Alternative A).

Grant Thornton

This section estimates the total economic cost to Keystone in the context of the Merger transaction for the cancellation of the external management mechanism. It is clarified that “the cost to the Company” is a fixed figure, which does not change between the analysis alternatives that will be presented in the following sections.

The net cost was estimated as the difference between the value of 5% of Keystone shares to be Allocated to the Management Company, and the Additional Amount to be received by the Company.

7.2. Summary of the results of the cost estimate to the Company

The value of the Keystone shares to be Allocated to the Management Company in the context of the Merger transaction (net of the Additional Amount) was estimated in the range between NIS 70 to 101 million, as detailed in the table below:

Net value of the rights in the merged Company received by the Management Company as a result of the Merger

Value of 5% of Keystone’s shares 126,940 145,340 152,767
Less illiquidity premium (for the six-month lock-up period) (5,078) (5,814)
Less the additional amount (the Management Company’s investment in the subsidiary) (51,940) (51,940) (51,940)
Net value of the rights received by the shareholders of the Management Company 69,922 87,586 100,827

7.3. Main assumptions used for the estimate of the cost to the Company

Below is a breakdown of the main assumptions used for the estimate of the cost to the Company:

a. Average price of 60 trading days (NIS 12.425 per share) – This parameter reflects the commercial agreements as anchored in the memorandum of understanding with the Institutional Entities in March 2026. It was agreed that for the purpose of the Merger transaction, the Company value would be derived from the average share price over the 60 trading days preceding March 15, 2026, and that this value would be fixed and would not be affected by market fluctuations until the completion of the Merger (upwards or downwards).

b. Average price of 5 trading days (NIS 14.226 per share) – This indication was also examined, in order to reflect the market value close to the Valuation Date.

We wish to address the increases that occurred in the Company’s share price on the stock exchange after the cut-off and Valuation Date (March 15, 2026). As anchored in the memorandum of understanding with the Institutional Entities, it was agreed that the terms of the Merger transaction are final and that the consideration structure will not change. According to these agreements with the Institutional Entities, the Company value for the purpose of the

Fahn Kanne Consulting Ltd. is a subsidiary of Fahn Kanne & Co., the Israeli member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd.


Grant Thornton

Allocation of shares is derived from the average share price over the 60 trading days preceding the Valuation Date.

It was agreed that this value would be fixed and would not be affected by market fluctuations until the actual completion of the Merger – whether these are fluctuations upwards (price increases) or downwards (price decreases). Naturally, share prices in the capital market are subject to volatility and any scenario can occur for the share – it can rise and it can just as well fall. Fixing the value at the time of decision-making and commercial agreements is intended to neutralize background noise and provide business certainty to the Company, the Institutional Entities, and the Management Company. Moreover, the impact of fluctuations in the share price was examined within the sensitivity analysis chapter detailed in this document.

c. Discount for illiquidity – Since the consideration in the Merger transaction is given to the Management Company by way of a private Allocation of Keystone shares, these shares are defined as “blocked shares” in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Law. This means that they are subject to a statutory liquidity restriction, which includes a full lock-up period of half a year, after which there is a gradual release period subject to the pace of daily trading turnover on the stock exchange.

In light of the statutory liquidity restriction preventing the shareholders from realizing the shares immediately in the free market, an economic reduction was made to the value of the Allocated Shares. For this purpose, the Finnerty Model was applied, which is an accepted model for assessing the cost of illiquidity for fixed periods. Based on this model, a discount for illiquidity at a rate of 4% was applied.

d. Accounting equity – The rationale for choosing the accounting equity as a parameter reflecting the fair value of Keystone derives from the fact that the Company measures in its books and financial statements all its assets and investments at fair value. Since the balance sheet value of the Company’s assets (as an infrastructure fund) is in practice based on economic valuations, the resulting accounting equity constitutes a proper, consistent, and good estimate of the fair value of the Company. The accounting equity of Keystone attributable to the shareholders as of December 31, 2025, was taken into account, plus the Additional Amount to be invested by the Management Company in the Subsidiary, and less the gap between the fair value of the Company’s bonds and their balance in the books.

8. Estimate of the savings to the Company according to Alternative A

8.1. General

Below are the main assumptions included in the calculation of the expected savings to the Company in Alternative A, which assumes the execution of the Merger instead of the possibility of extending the Existing Management Agreement until June 1, 2035 (the end of the period for which the Management Company is entitled to compensation):

8.2. Present value of the costs expected to be borne by Keystone due to the continued existence of the Existing Management Agreement until its expected end date in Alternative A – June 1, 2035:

The total present value of the costs expected to be borne by Keystone due to the continued existence of the Existing Management Agreement until its expected end date in Alternative A (June 1, 2035), less the costs of alternative internal management, was estimated at approx. NIS 283 million, as detailed in the table below:

Total present value of the costs that Keystone is expected to bear absent the Merger Agreement 283,228

Below are the main assumptions used to determine the present value of the costs expected to be borne by Keystone due to the continued existence of the Management Agreement until its expected end date according to this scenario (June 1, 2035):

  • Expected Management Fees payments - As stated above, the Management Fees payments paid by the Company are derived from the value of the Company's assets as presented in the books, including cash and cash equivalents, as presented in the latest statement of financial position of the Company (audited or reviewed), at a rate of 1%, plus VAT. In order to estimate the value of the Company's assets at the end of each quarter, a pro forma balance sheet model was prepared, based on the main assumptions received from the economic advisors of the Audit Committee, as follows:

  • Cash and cash equivalents – The cash and cash equivalents cycle of Keystone changes over the years as a result of the following payments: Management Fees paid by the Company, operating costs at Keystone not through the Management Company in the amount of approx. 3 million per quarter, financing costs for external credit (calculated

Fahn Kanne Consulting Ltd. is a subsidiary of Fahn Kanne & Co., the Israeli member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd.


Grant Thornton

according to the weighted interest rate on Keystone's bonds), receipt of dividends from investee companies, and payment of dividends to the shareholders of Keystone.

  • Investments in investee companies and loans – The value of investments in investee companies appearing in the Company’s books was taken according to the latest published report of the Company (for 2025), and it was assumed that the value of the investee companies would increase by approx. 3% each quarter, based on the weighted cost of capital (Re) of the investee companies (approx. 12.7%), according to the valuations appearing in Keystone’s financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

  • Cost Structure – A breakdown of the costs of the Management Company was received. The actual costs in 2024 amounted to approximately NIS 13.5 million. The actual costs for 2025 amounted (according to unaudited data) to approximately NIS 14 million. This amount includes the Management Fees paid by the Management Company to the Chairman and the CEO of approximately NIS 4 million per year. For the purpose of the model, it was assumed that the “fair salary” of the Chairman and the CEO (which includes, inter alia, an increase in the Chairman’s employment percentage from 40% currently to 90%) will amount to approximately NIS 9 million per year instead of the actual salary which stood at approximately NIS 4 million for both of them (part of which is attributed to the increase in the employment percentage of the Chairman of the Board from 40% to 90% and part of which is an adjustment to a fair salary). The above is based on benchmark data for executive compensation received by the Company (and was not examined by us).

  • Discount Rate – A discount rate of 12.7% was assumed, based on the average cost of capital (Re) of the investee companies held by Keystone, according to the valuations appearing in Keystone’s financial statements as of December 31, 2025, as detailed below:

Egged Partnership 2,770,000 13.0% 62% 8%
Return on Equity Rate 100.0% 12.7%
  • Value of the Right to Allocate Options – As stated, in addition to Management Fees derived as a percentage of the asset volume, the Management Agreement provides that in any case where the Company allocates shares, whether within the framework of a public offering or within the framework of a private allocation, the Company shall allocate to the Management Company, without any additional consideration, options which may be exercised, all or part thereof, at any time during a period of seven years from the date of allocation, to purchase shares of the Company, at a rate equal to 5% (five percent) of the total shares to be allocated within the allocation. Subject to the adjustments detailed in the agreement, each option may be exercised for one share of the Company. The exercise price of the options as stated, is the same price determined in that private allocation, or, in the case of a public offering, the price specified in the immediate report published by the Company in connection with the results of

12. Summary and Conclusions

We examined the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Merger transaction between Keystone and the Management Company. The process under review includes a fundamental change in the operational structure of the Company, including a fundamental change in the operational structure of the Company, such that the Company will cease to operate through an external Management Company (as has been done until now), the transfer of payment of the Management Fees from the Management Company to the wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, and the cancellation of the possible future liability for payment of compensation or other benefits to the Management Company in the event of termination or non-renewal of the Management Agreement between the Management Company and the Company. As part of the Merger transaction, 5% of the issued share capital of the Company after the Merger will be Allocated to the shareholders of the Management Company, where the merging Management Company will include within it an investment of the Additional Amount in the sum of approximately NIS 52 million.

The fairness of the transaction was examined based on a comparison of the cost to the Company (the economic value of the shares Allocated to the shareholders of the Management Company, net of the Additional Amount) versus the savings to the Company (the present value of the costs and compensation that will be saved by Keystone as a result of the termination of the Management Agreement).

The analysis was performed under three reasonable alternatives for the continuation or termination of the existing engagement. In light of the uncertainty regarding the timing and manner of the future termination of the engagement, the Audit Committee chose to attribute weights to each of the alternatives according to the assessment of the likelihood of their realization. These weights reflect an equal division (50/50) between a scenario of termination of the agreement and a scenario of its continuation.

After examining the data received, performing the economic analyses detailed in this Opinion and applying accepted valuation methodologies, we found that in the alternatives analyzed and also in their weighted expectation, the economic value of the savings in costs and cancellation of the future liabilities of the Company exceeds the economic value of the shares Allocated as part of the Merger.

In light of the above, it appears that the transaction of Allocation of the shares of Keystone to the Management Company reflects, from an economic point of view, a transaction conducted at a fair and reasonable (Fair and Reasonable) value for Keystone.

Sincerely,

Appendix B – Work of the Audit Committee and Its Advisors

  1. Background to the activity of the Committee and its authorities

On August 27, 2024, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee” or the “Committee”) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company (in a composition identical to that of the Committee) to examine the Proposed Outline and the possible alternatives available to the Company, while maintaining continuity and managerial stability in the Company¹³. The members of the Audit Committee are: Mr. Oded Setter (External Director and Chairman of the Committee), Mr. Nir Dror (External Director), and Ms. Liza Singer (External Director). For further details regarding the members of the Committee, see Article 26 of Part D of the Periodic Report for 2025 of the Company published on March 24, 2026 (reference number: 2026-01-026078), which is hereby incorporated by reference.

It is noted, for the avoidance of doubt, that the members of the Committee have no connection to the Management Company or to any of the Controlling Shareholders, and they have no personal interest in the Proposed Outline.

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Committee to approve the optimal alternative possible in the circumstances and to reject the other alternatives (and even to condition its approval on conditions, as it sees fit) and to transfer its decision regarding the Proposed Outline to the Board of Directors of the Company. In this framework, the Committee was also authorized to manage, accompany, and supervise the negotiation process between the Management Company and the Controlling Shareholders and the Institutional Entities, as well as to examine its terms and ensure that they are for the benefit of the Company. In the framework of its authorization, the Audit Committee examined the fairness of the process, possible alternatives, and various outlines, taking into account the nature of the Proposed Outline, all at the discretion of the Committee and in accordance with the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders.

The Committee was also authorized to appoint advisors required for the examination of the Proposed Outline, including, inter alia, financial and legal advisors, who are not dependent on the Controlling Shareholders or the Company, as well as to receive opinions from them and to determine the terms of engagement with them.

Pursuant to its authorization as stated, on August 27, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Company convened and authorized the advisors (as defined below) to accompany the process on its behalf, including for the purpose of holding meetings of the negotiation team and the economic advisors with the Management Company, on the one hand, and with the Institutional Entities, on the other hand, to examine the feasibility of the alternatives.

  1. Process of the Committee’s work

The Committee acted to realize the authority granted to it from the date of its authorization until the date of approval of the Proposed Outline by the Board of Directors of the Company and the signing of the Share Swap Agreement shortly before the publication of this Report. The

¹³ It is noted that, within the framework of examining the proposed outline as stated above, Prof. Assaf Hamdani expressed his opinion regarding the process for formulating the terms of employment and their approval.


  • 36 -

Committee conducted a thorough, full, and in-depth work process, which began in August 2024 and continued for more than a year and a half (about 20 months), for the purpose of making informed decisions in connection with the process of approval of the Proposed Outline. In the framework of this process, the Committee held about 40 meetings (physical and by conference means) which were documented in protocols. In addition, the advisors conducted many conversations, on an ongoing basis, throughout the process, inter alia with members of the Audit Committee, for the purpose of managing and supervising the process. In addition, the negotiation team and the economic advisors, on behalf of the Committee, held many meetings and conversations with the Management Company on the one hand, and representatives of the Institutional Entities on the other hand, in order to try and bring about an agreed Proposed Outline.

The process of the Committee’s work was composed of the following parts:

2.1. Appointment of legal and economic advisors –

2.1.1. The legal advisor of the Committee was appointed as the law firm Herzog Fox Neeman & Co. (the “Legal Advisors”);

2.1.2. The Committee was also accompanied by Prof. Assaf Hamdani, an expert in corporate governance, in connection with the process of formulating the terms of the transaction and its approval, who also gave his opinion on these matters (“Prof. Hamdani”);

2.1.3. The economic advisor of the Committee was appointed as Clear Structure Ltd. (the “Economic Advisors”); the Committee also received Fairness Opinions in connection with the fairness of the consideration, from the firm Fahn Kanne & Co. (the “Fairness Opinions”);

2.1.4. Attorney Ehud Sol and Attorney Ilanit Landesman-Yogev served as the negotiation team on behalf of the Audit Committee (the “Negotiation Team”), through whom the Committee accompanied and mediated the negotiations between the Controlling Shareholders and the Institutional Entities, resulting in the Proposed Outline.

(all together – the “Advisors”).

The process of appointing the advisors was carried out after examining, inter alia, the experience of the said advisors in similar transactions and proceedings, as well as in light of the personal and professional impression of the members of the Committee, and after verifying that they are not dependent on the Company or the Controlling Shareholders.

2.2. Guidelines for the work of the Committee –

2.2.1. Since the beginning of its work, the Committee acted according to work procedures it adopted, as well as according to the instructions of its Legal Advisors and Prof. Hamdani, after they reviewed and recommended to it the guidelines for its activity.

2.2.2. The Committee independently determined its work arrangements, meeting times, agenda for meetings, identity of invitees to meetings, required working documents,


  • 37 -

manner of documenting meetings, and any other matter relating to its mode of operation.

2.2.3. Already in its initial meetings, the Committee adopted a tentative action procedure for its activity within the process, and examined the discussion topics for its meetings.

2.2.4. In addition, the Committee ensured the holding of periodic status meetings for the purpose of monitoring the progress of the process and the issues arising from developments in the process.

2.2.5. The Committee was updated on an ongoing basis, by the Negotiation Team, regarding the negotiations between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities and supervised them, and also conducted negotiations with the Management Company in connection with the Proposed Outline. In the contacts with the Management Company, the Committee was represented by its Advisors, without the involvement of the Company or other parties on its behalf.

2.2.6. The Committee held a separate and structured discussion regarding the reasons why the Proposed Outline is for the benefit of the Company.

2.3. Economic Work and Fair Consideration – As detailed in Section 2.1 above, the Committee engaged the Economic Advisors for the purpose of providing economic and financial support to it and to the Negotiation Team, inter alia, within the framework of the negotiations between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities. In addition, the Committee also engaged Fahn Kanne, an independent Economic Advisor, for the purpose of obtaining the Fairness Opinions, attached as Appendix A to this Report. For the purpose of the work of the Economic Advisors and the Fairness Opinions, the Committee (itself or through its Advisors) was assisted by the management of the Company in order to obtain the required data, for the purpose of substantiating the assumptions underlying the work of the Economic Advisors and the Fairness Opinions. The members of the Committee and its Advisors exercised particular caution and confidentiality in their contacts with the management of the Company in the course of its work processes, including at the stage of collecting information for the work of the Economic Advisors and the Fairness Opinions.

2.4. Committee Discussions – The Committee held approximately 40 meetings (physical and by means of conference) and additional consultation calls, within which the Committee, itself and through its external Advisors as stated, examined the Proposed Outline and its implications. The Committee meetings were held at the offices of the Company since the participation of parties on behalf of the Company was required at their offices or by means of visual conference as stated (except for a limited number of meetings held at the offices of the Legal Advisors of the Committee). The meetings were documented in protocols recording the discussions and the decisions made.

2.5. The Committee held discussions on the Proposed Outline and its terms, including the rationale underlying it, various alternatives to the Proposed Outline (see in this context Section 2.6 below), the assumptions underlying the work of the Economic Advisors, the


  • 38 -

Fairness Opinions, the forecasts and the methodology underlying them. Inter alia, in its discussions, the Committee addressed the following topics:

a. Examination of the benefit to the Company in connection with the Proposed Outline;

b. The Committee examined, on a principled level, whether there are realistic alternatives to the Proposed Outline, including alternatives relating to the termination of the Management Agreement and the identification of an alternative Management Company and/or alternative management, conducting negotiations in connection with the terms of the current Management Agreement upon its termination for the purpose of its extension and/or the possibility of the Controlling Shareholders waiving their control rights in the Company, all taking into account the implications of each of the above alternatives on the Company and its benefit and its Shareholders (including with respect to the implications of replacing the Management Company).

c. Examination of the manner of approval of the transaction in the organs of the Company and the required majority, including based on advice provided by Prof. Hamdani;

d. Examination of the existing arrangements, including the offering prospectus, the existing Management Agreement, analysis of the entitlement of the Management Company to Compensation in the event of early termination of the Management Agreement and the relevant employment agreements;

e. Examination of the proposed indemnification arrangements in relation to the activity of the Management Company prior to completion of the transaction, to the extent completed.

f. Receipt of a review from the management of the Company regarding the strategic plan of the Company in light of the Proposed Outline;

g. Examination of the accounting implications of the transaction;

h. Examination of the terms of Compensation of the management after completion of the transaction, with the assistance of a benchmark study conducted by an external consultant with experience in the field;

i. Analysis of the impact of the Proposed Outline on the existing agreements and licenses of the Company, including examination of the terms of the bonds issued by the Company and financing agreements in the Group’s corporations, as well as on the insurance arrangements of the Company after completion of the transaction;

j. Examination of the non-competition undertaking of the Management Company and its Controlling Shareholders serving as Office Holders, towards the Company;

k. Examination of the legal implications arising from Amendment Bill 38 to the Companies Law on the Company, in light of the Proposed Outline;

l. Examination of the tax implications arising from the transaction on the Company and its Shareholders;


  • 39 -

m. Examination of the operational aspects of the transition from a management format via an external Management Company to an internal management format, including the impact of the transaction on the employees of the Management Company.

In accordance with the procedures adopted by the Committee, only Committee members and its Advisors were present at its meetings and when making its decisions, unless the Chairman of the Committee determined that the presence of a non-Committee member was required for the presentation of a particular topic or provision of certain data, but in any event, the decisions were made not in their presence.

Even to the extent that the presence of management representatives was required within the framework of the Committee meetings or the discussions with the Economic Advisors, in light of the existing identity between the management members of the Company and the management members of the Management Company, the Legal Advisors of the Committee were also present at the meeting.

2.6. Conducting an 'Alternative Process' and Examination of Alternatives – Within the framework of its discussions, in light of the provisions of Section 117(1B) of the Companies Law, the Committee reached the conclusion that, in the circumstances under discussion of the Proposed Outline, and taking into account the type of transaction and its circumstances, it is not possible to conduct a “competitive process”, and therefore, the Committee is of the opinion that the process conducted between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities, alongside its activity and negotiation in connection with the Proposed Outline, in its various iterations, constitute an “alternative process” and not a “competitive process” as these terms are defined in Section 117(1B) of the Companies Law; and that in the circumstances of the matter, the lengthy and significant negotiations conducted between the Institutional Entities and the Controlling Shareholders with the accompaniment and mediation of the Negotiation Team under the supervision of the Committee, the various alternatives examined, all in consultation with and reliance on opinions of external advisors, and in light of the results of the negotiations conducted in relation to the opening positions of the relevant parties at the beginning of the process, are sufficient in the circumstances and ensure a proper process intended to maximize the consideration for the Company.

The Committee held a discussion on the various existing techniques for implementing the Proposed Outline in the Company, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages inherent in the Proposed Outline.

2.7. Accompaniment and Mediation of the Negotiations between the Institutional Entities and the Controlling Shareholders for the Formulation of the Proposed Outline and Conducting Negotiations with the Management Company for the Formulation of the Principles of the Share Swap Agreement – The Committee (through the Negotiation Team and its Economic Advisors) mediated and accompanied the contacts with the Institutional Entities and with the Management Company, for the purpose of formulating the consideration within the framework of the Proposed Outline. The negotiations between the Institutional Entities and the Management Company lasted about a year and a half, within which various consideration alternatives were discussed, where the consideration proposed under


  • 40 -

the Proposed Outline is materially different from the positions of the parties at the beginning of the process and is significantly improved for the benefit of the Company. In addition to the above, the Committee (itself and through its Legal and Economic Advisors) conducted negotiations with the Management Company, within which the principles of the Share Swap Agreement and its terms were discussed. In order to conduct the negotiations effectively, inter alia, prior to the commencement of the negotiations, the Committee formulated a position regarding the main legal standards relating to the transaction. Among the documents which were prepared and/or examined and/or negotiated by the Committee and its Advisors, the following are noted: (A) memorandum of understandings with the Institutional Entities; (B) the Share Swap Agreement and the Asset Transfer Agreement; (C) new terms of engagement for the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO of the Company and related expenses for management purposes after completion of the transaction; (D) New Articles adapted to the format of a company without an external Management Company, including the composition of the Board of Directors and the manner of its election; and (E) new Compensation Policy.

  1. Committee Recommendations

In light of and in accordance with all of the above, the Committee approved that the Proposed Outline, including approval of the Share Swap Agreement, are for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders, and decided to recommend that the Board of Directors of the Company approve the engagement in the Proposed Outline, on the basis of the following main reasons:

3.1. Significant savings and improvement in cash flow – According to the Proposed Outline, the management costs that were paid to date to the Management Company were significantly reduced, against a one-time allocation of shares of the Company. Accordingly, in the Committee’s assessment, the significant reduction in management costs will lead to significant economic savings over time and to a significant improvement in the Company’s cash flow. In this context, and as stated in the opinion attached as Appendix A to this Report, the ongoing payments that will be saved for the Company as a result of the proposed structure change are estimated in the range between NIS 106 million and NIS 283 million per year.

3.2. Reduction of uncertainty (management continuity) – The Proposed Outline provides a significant advantage in continuity and management continuity in the Company, through the parties who have led the Company to very impressive achievements over its years of activity and who have experience and deep familiarity with the Company’s activity, its plans and its business environment, as well as extensive connections in the Israeli capital market. Such a move has the potential to ensure that their deep familiarity with the Company’s business activity, alongside their expertise, connections and experience, which constitute critical components in the Company’s success and continued development in the infrastructure field, will be retained in the Company for an additional period. Beyond the above, maintaining management continuity is of significant importance to the Company’s activity, in light of the control permits and licenses required in relation to part of the Company’s activity.


  • 41 -

3.3. Strengthening the equity interest of the Controlling Shareholders – the Proposed Outline strengthens the significant equity interest of the Controlling Shareholders in the Company and turns them into Controlling Shareholders by virtue of their holdings. In the Committee's assessment, the move may strengthen the connection between the Controlling Shareholders and the Company, for the long term, regardless of the period of the Management Agreement and its extension/termination or its terms.

3.4. Agreed and “final” update – in the Committee's assessment, unlike other outlines adopted by other public funds, the Proposed Outline brings about an agreed and “final” simplification of the management structure of the Company, obviating the need for further examination of the management structure in the Company and for approval of a new Management Agreement by the competent organs of the Company at the end of each management period, alongside the preservation of the Company's activity and its continuity.

3.5. Support from significant shareholders; the Proposed Outline can be completed with a high degree of certainty – the support of the Institutional Entities and the shareholder as detailed in Section 1 above, which was achieved after lengthy and thorough negotiations between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities, constitutes in the Committee's assessment another significant indication of the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration. Furthermore, such support constitutes a significant indication of the feasibility of approval of the Proposed Outline by the minority shareholders in the Company. In addition to the foregoing, for the completion of the transaction there are material Conditions Precedent (as detailed in Section 2.1.2(D) above), and in the Company's assessment, in accordance with the position of the Legal Advisors of the Company and of the Management Company, there are significant indications that the Proposed Outline may be completed.

3.6. Sufficient mechanisms regarding the past period – in view of the mechanisms set forth in the Share Swap Agreement in relation to the past period, including the guarantees provided to the Company in connection with the indemnification mechanisms for the past period, the Committee is of the opinion that the Proposed Outline does not expose the Company to liability for actions of the Management Company in relation to the past period (beyond the Company's liability under the existing exemption and indemnification letters granted to the Management Company and its Office Holders prior to the completion of the Proposed Outline).

3.7. Implementation of the Company's strategic plan – in view of the multi-year strategic plan adopted by the Company for growth in 2025¹⁴, whose purpose, inter alia, is to expand the Company's activity in its core areas, to develop new growth engines, to deepen its activity in the markets in which it operates, and to continue enhancing its assets in such a way that the Company's equity will double by 2030 to an amount of NIS 4 billion in accordance with the strategic target set, the Committee was provided with sufficient explanations regarding the implications of the Proposed Outline on the Company's ability to implement

¹⁴ For details regarding the Company’s strategy, see Section 3 of the Description of the Corporation’s Business chapter attached to the Company’s 2025 Periodic Report.


  • 42 -

the said strategy, in view of the holding rates of the Control Group after completion of the Proposed Outline.

3.8. Implications of non-extension of the Management Agreement – the Committee examined the implications of non-extension of the existing Management Agreement, including the Compensation to which the Management Company is entitled due to its non-extension, the need to locate an alternative Management Company, as well as possible implications for the control permits and licenses held by the Company (i.e., the need to obtain updated permits and licenses if control in the Company were to change). The Committee is of the opinion that it is of decisive importance to find a solution that will bring about management continuity while reducing the resources that the Company will be required to bear in order to achieve this goal. Furthermore, the Proposed Outline does not detract from the advantages inherent in the fund structure.

3.9. The Committee determined that the Proposed Outline, including the consideration under the Share Swap Agreement, is fair and reasonable, inter alia, based on the Fairness Opinions, and in view of the negotiations conducted between the Management Company and the Institutional Entities and the understandings reached in its framework. The understandings reached in the negotiations between the Institutional Entities and the Management Company reflect a transaction between unrelated parties (at arm's length).

3.10. It is possible that part or all of the consideration in the transaction will be considered a "Distribution," as this term is defined in the Companies Law; however, as of December 31, 2025, the Company has distributable profits in the amount of approximately NIS 1.5 billion, and the transaction has no implications that impair the Company's ability to meet its obligations.

Based on the foregoing, the members of the Committee determined that the Proposed Outline is for the benefit of the Company and that the Share Swap Agreement and the consideration therefor are fair.

Following the Committee's decision and its recommendations, on April 14, 2026, a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company was held, in which the Board of Directors adopted the Committee's recommendations and reasoning, and determined that, based on the considerations and reasoning detailed above, the Proposed Outline is for the benefit of the Company and that the Share Swap Agreement and the consideration therefor are fair. Also, to the extent that the transaction includes a "Distribution" as this term is defined in the Companies Law, it constitutes a permitted Distribution.

The determination of the targets for the Office Holders shall be based on measurable parameters, except for the discretionary component of the bonus, according to the work plan and the long-term strategy of the Company. The targets shall be divided into organizational targets (such as budget targets, capital/debt raising, cash flow targets, net profit, profit before tax, annual return on equity or on assets targets, NAV targets, FFO, EBITDA, dividend yield, receipts from investee companies, share yield, leverage ratios, yield to maturity, profitability and efficiency indices, execution of investments and realizations, capital gains (losses), and the like); and personal targets (such as expansion of activity, efficiency targets, transaction execution targets, financing raising targets, obtaining approvals, implementation and initiation of audit and control programs, and the like).

10.6. Annual Bonus Threshold Condition and Annual Bonus Ceiling – A threshold condition for payment of the portion of the annual bonus that is determined based on the degree of achievement of pre-determined targets shall be the attainment of at least


-8-

50% of one of the following targets set for the relevant year: the annual return on equity target, the annual return on assets target or the NAV growth target.

10.8. Reduction of Annual Bonus at the Discretion of the Board of Directors – The Board of Directors of the Company, after receiving the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, shall have the authority to reduce up to 100% of the variable compensation amount in relation to a certain year, taking into account the reasonableness of the variable compensation to which the Office Holder would have been entitled for meeting the targets in that year compared to the contribution of the Office Holder to their achievement and the business and financial condition of the Company.

10.9. Special Bonus in Special Circumstances for Office Holders Directly Subordinate to the CEO and the Special Bonus Ceiling – The Board of Directors may decide, after receiving the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and the CEO of the Company and subject to obtaining the approvals required by law, to grant a one-time bonus to an Office Holder subordinate to the CEO for an exceptional contribution to the Company or significant efforts by the Office Holder in the Company, including in a case where the annual bonus for that Office Holder for the past year does not, in the opinion of the members of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company, reflect the contribution of the Office Holder to the Company in that year and/or to grant a retention bonus to an existing Office Holder and/or to grant a signing bonus in the case of a new engagement with an Office Holder (hereinafter: “Special Bonus”). Such Special Bonus shall not exceed a multiple of six times the Fixed Compensation/monthly management fees, as the case may be, of the said Office Holder. In addition, a retention bonus and/or signing bonus as stated shall be conditional upon a minimum tenure of two years from the date of


-9-
its approval, and if the actual tenure is shorter, its proportional part shall be returned. It is noted that the Special Bonus, if its grant is decided, is subject to the total ceiling of possible variable compensation together according to Sections 10.6 above and 11.2 below (i.e., the total variable compensation for Office Holders subordinate to the CEO in the relevant bonus year for the annual bonus, the Special Bonus, and the annual equity compensation, shall not exceed the total ceilings together, cumulatively, according to Sections 10.6 above and 11.2 below).

7.10. The ratio between the Compensation of the Office Holders serving in the Company and the average and median salary cost of the other employees of the Company as a whole, based on the data detailed in the Compensation Policy of the Company, does not adversely affect labor relations in the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders¹ of SUB N.K. LTD

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of SUB N.K. LTD (the "Company"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at March 18, 2026 (Incorporation date), and the notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at March 18, 2026 (Incorporation date), in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel, including standards prescribed by the Auditor's Regulations (Auditor's Mode of Performance), 1973. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions in Israel regarding independence and conflict of interest of auditors. Additionally, we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Auditors' Law, 1955 and the regulations thereunder. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is appropriate and sufficient to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Board of Directors and Management for the Financial Statements

The board of directors and management are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the board of directors and management have determined to be necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the board of directors and management are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,

disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the board of directors and management either intend to liquidate the Company¹ or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is appropriate and sufficient to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the board of directors and management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the use by the board of directors and management of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to

continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company¹ to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the board of directors and management regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Sub N.K. Ltd.
Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 - General

a. The Activity

Sub N.K. Ltd. (the “Company”) is a private company incorporated on March 18, 2026, wholly owned by N.K. Keystone Ltd. (the “Management Company”). The Company is designated for the purpose of executing a share swap transaction as detailed in Section B below. From the date of completion of the said transaction, the sole activity of the Company will be the provision of management services to Keystone Infra Ltd. (“Keystone”), a public company traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, in accordance with a management agreement. At the date of incorporation, the Company issued 120 ordinary shares with no par value. The registered office address of the Company is 4 Ariel Sharon Street, Givatayim.

b. Events after the Reporting Date

  1. On April 14, 2026, the Company and the Management Company signed an asset transfer agreement whereby the Management Company will transfer to the Company all of its management rights in connection with the management of Keystone's activities (the “Management Rights”), including, inter alia, ongoing management, identification, management, accompaniment and consulting in connection with Keystone's investments, as well as consulting and assistance in capital and debt raising processes. The management services will be provided through persons on behalf of the Company, and in particular through those appointed by it as directors in Keystone, the Chairman of the Board, the CEO, the CFO, and the Legal Counsel. In addition, the Company will receive all engagements and agreements to which the Management Company is a party for the purpose of managing Keystone, including agreements with employees, suppliers, consultants, service providers, and any other third party (the “Transferred Assets”) – all as of June 1, 2026 (the “Change Date”), so that from that date the management of Keystone will be transferred to the Company. The transfer of assets between the Company and the Management Company will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Section 104A of the Income Tax Ordinance.

  2. In addition, the Management Company will invest in the Company an amount of approximately NIS 52 million (the “Additional Amount”) which will be invested, at the discretion of the Management Company, in cash and/or in shares of Keystone and/or in options for shares of Keystone.

  3. Immediately after the completion of the asset transfer agreement and the investment of the Additional Amount, a merger will be carried out by way of a share swap, between the Management Company and Keystone, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103T of the Income Tax Ordinance (hereinafter: the “Merger”). As part of the Merger, the Management Company will transfer to Keystone all of its share capital in the Company, in exchange for and against the allocation of shares of Keystone to the Management Company (the “Allocation”), at a rate of 5% of Keystone's issued share capital after completion of the Merger.

  4. The Transferred Assets will be transferred to the Company at the date of completion of the transaction, and shortly after the completion date, a retroactive settlement will be made to the Change Date, so that all rights, assets, funds, debts and liabilities arising from the Transferred Assets for the period prior to the Change Date will apply to the Management Company, and with respect to the period from the Change Date onwards, they will belong to the Company and apply to it.

Note 1 – General (continued)

  1. The Transferred Assets will be recognized at the date of completion of the transaction in the Company's books at their value in the books of the Management Company immediately prior to their transfer to the Company, i.e., at zero value.

  2. The Parties' obligations to complete the transaction are subject to the fulfillment of each of the following conditions precedent (the “Conditions Precedent”) by August 31, 2026 (the “Final Date”), unless the Parties have waived in writing the fulfillment of a certain condition precedent, in whole or in part, to the extent such waiver is permitted by law:

b) Receipt of approval from the Competition Authority for the transaction, to the extent required;

c) Receipt of approval from the stock exchange for the listing for trading of Keystone shares allocated to the Management Company;

d) Receipt of a tax ruling, in a form and under conditions that do not include materially onerous conditions on any of the parties to the share exchange agreement that are not customary in tax rulings of this type (“Tax Ruling”);

e) No order of a competent court or any other binding judicial decision shall be issued that is valid at the time of fulfillment of the last of the other Conditions Precedent and that prohibits the completion of the transaction.

If the Conditions Precedent are not fulfilled by the Final Date, the validity of the share exchange agreement shall expire, without any of the Parties having any claim, demand, or cause of action against the other or anyone on its behalf, except in the case of a willful breach of the share exchange agreement by any of the Parties.

In the share exchange agreement, Keystone was granted, in the event that the Tax Ruling is not obtained by August 31, 2026 (inclusive), the right to extend, by a unilateral decision of the Audit Committee, the interim period (the period from the Change Date until August 31, 2026), from time to time, so that the Final Date shall be postponed to no later than February 28, 2027.
