THE TEL-AVIV STOCK EXCHANGE LTD. Re: Immediate Report on the Convening of a Special Meeting

In accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (hereafter - "the Companies Law") and the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970 (hereafter: "the Reports Regulations"), The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereafter: "the Company"), announces the convening of a special meeting to be held on Wednesday, July 29, 2020, at 16:00 at the offices of the Company, on #2 Ahuzat Bayit St., Tel Aviv, 11 Floor, Room 1119

1. On the agenda:

Amendment of Section 14.2 of the Company's Officers' Compensation Policy

Wording of the proposed resolution - Amendment of Section 14.2 of the Company's Officers' Compensation Policy (hereafter: "the Compensation Policy"), such that the annual premium for the Company's officers' liability insurance policy will not exceed US\$ 250,000 and the deductible of the Company shall not exceed US\$ 1,000,000 per claim, all as set out in section 2 below.

2. Additional information on Topic 1 on the agenda:

  • 2.1 In accordance with the provisions of section 14 of the Compensation Policy, the Company may engage in a liability insurance policy for the directors and the other officers serving from time to time (including those that are appointed in the future) or that served in the Company and/or in subsidiaries of the Company and/or in any entity in which the Company holds securities directly and/or indirectly (hereafter: "the Insurance Policy").
  • 2.2 Additionally, section 14.2 of the Compensation Policy determines that the Company may engage in the Insurance Policy, subject to obtaining the approval of the Audit Committee in its capacity as a Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, in accordance with Regulation 1B1 of the Companies Regulations (Easements on Transactions with Interested Parties), 5760-2000 (hereafter: "the Easements Regulations"), provided that the Insurance Policy meets the terms that are set out in section 14.2 of the Compensation Policy, including its subsections.
  • 2.3 Within this framework, section 14.2 of the Compensation Policy stipulates that, in 2020, the

annual premium for the Insurance Policy will not exceed US\$ 130 thousand and the Company's deductible shall not exceed US\$ 100 thousand.

  • 2.4 It should be noted that, in the past year, the costs of directors' and officers' liability insurance policies rose significantly, this alongside the attachment of more stringent conditions to this insurance. In the opinion of the Company's insurance consultant (hereafter: "the Insurance Consultant"), this trend stems from the large number of class actions and derivative claims filed against public companies, financial institutions and financial operations, which is enhanced by the courts' predisposition to approve such claims with adjudication of substantial amounts, all this resulting in the payment of steep amounts by the insurers in such claims. This is exacerbated by the coronavirus crisis and the ensuing economic crisis, and the insurers' concern of a wave of claims in its aftermath. All of the aforesaid resulted in insurers exiting this area of insurance, insufficient insurance capacity and difficulty in obtaining supplemental support for substantial scopes of coverage, a significant rise in insurance premiums, higher deductibles, and more limited coverage.
  • 2.5 Accordingly, on June 23, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company, after obtaining the approval of the Audit Committee in its capacity as a Compensation Committee, approved an amendment to sections 14.2.3 and 14.2.4 of the Compensation Policy, as follows:
    • "14.2.3 the annual premium payable for the insurance policy will not exceed one hundred (100) two hundred and fifty (250) thousand dollars (plus a proportionate share for insurance periods of more than one year), with the addition of up to 15% of said amount every year (and a proportionate share for insurance periods of more than one year). For a "run off" insurance policy for a period of 7 years, the premium for the full period shall not exceed 300% of the aforementioned annual premium.
    • 14.2.4 In the event of a claim being filed against any of the officers, the officers shall not bear any deductible under the insurance policy. In such case, the Company will bear the deductible amount stipulated in the insurance policy, provided that it does not exceed one hundred (100) thousand one million (1,000,000) dollars per claim."
  • 2.6 To complete the picture, it should be noted that, on July 31, 2019, the shareholders' meeting of the Company approved its engagement in an officers' insurance policy for the period from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020 (hereafter: "the 2019 Approval" and "the Previous Policy", respectively). Within the framework of the 2019 Approval, the shareholders' meeting of the Company approved the terms of the Previous Policy, including the payment of a premium in the amount of US\$ 99 thousand and a deductible of US\$ 400 thousand.
  • 2.7 To remove any doubts, it is hereby clarified that all other terms of the Compensation Policy remain intact.
  • 3. Names of the directors who participated in the discussions at the Audit Committee in its capacity as a Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
    • 3.1 The participants in the discussion and the vote that took place at the meeting of the Company's Audit Committee in its capacity as a Compensation Committee on June 23, 2020 were: Mr. Itzhak Halamish, Ms. Merav Ben Cnaan Heller and Mr. Yoav Chelouche.
    • 3.2 The participants in the discussion and the vote that took place at the meeting of the Company's Board of Directors on June 23, 2020 were: Mr. Amnon Neubach, Ms. Bruria Gross Prushansky, Ms. Merav Ben Cnaan Heller, Mr. Itzhak Halamish, Mr. Salah Saabneh, Mr. Arik Shteinberg and Mr.Yoav Chelouche.

4. Names of the directors who have personal interest and the nature of their personal interest

All directors in the Company may be considered as having personal interest in the approval of the resolution that is on the agenda today, as they are entitled to be included in the directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, as shall be obtained in accordance with the provisions of the amendment to the Compensation Policy.

5. Reasoning of the Audit Committee in its capacity as a Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors

5.1 The obtaining of directors' and officers' liability insurance is common practice among companies in the size range of the Company and is necessary for the operations of the Company, in order to allow the officers and the directors to act in the best interests of the Company without concern, taking into consideration the risk that is involved in the activities of the officers and the directors, which is derived from the areas of operation and the scope of operations of the Company as well as from its public company status.

It should also be noted that, within the framework of the Company's Compensation Policy, the shareholders' meeting has approved the Company's engagement in liability insurance policies for the directors and the other officers serving from time to time (including those that are appointed in the future) or that served in the Company and/or in subsidiaries of the Company and/or in any entity in which the Company holds securities directly and/or indirectly.

5.2 In view of the more stringent conditions applied in the insurance sector, as described in section 2.5 above, the Company was required to adjust certain terms of the insurance policy to the current state of affairs. It should be noted that the maximum amounts set for the annual premium and deductible, as described in section 2 above, are reasonable under the circumstances for insurance policies of the type in reference, taking into consideration the area and scope of operations of the Company, and were determined, inter alia, based on the Insurance Consultant's recommendation.

  • 5.3 The maximum amount of the annual premium has been updated to reflect the current market conditions, which, as aforesaid, have changed materially since the date of approval of the Compensation Policy.
  • 5.4 As regarding the raising of the maximum amount of deductible, it is noted that this will provide the Company additional flexibility in shaping the terms of the insurance policy, including an option to reduce the amount of the annual premium against the raising of the Company's deductible. It is further noted with respect to the amount of deductible that has been approved by the Company's shareholders' meeting as part of the 2019 Approval, that a better approach would be to consider the raising of this amount in relation to the current deductible amount of US\$ 400 thousand.

6. Majority required to pass the resolution

The majority required to pass the resolution that is on the agenda, as above, is a simple majority of all the votes of the shareholders present at the general meeting, that are entitled to vote and that voted thereat, without taking abstentions into account, and provided that one of the following shall be fulfilled:
