Re: Immediate Report on the Convening of a Special General Meeting of The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd.

(hereafter: "the Company")

Presented herewith is an immediate report in accordance with the Companies Law, 1999 (hereafter: "the Companies Law"), the Companies Regulations (Notice and Announcement of a General Meeting and a Class Meeting In a Public Company and Addition of a Topic to the Agenda), 2000 (hereafter: "the Notice Regulations"), the Companies Regulations (Written Vote and Position Papers), 2005, the Securities Regulations (Private Offering of Securities in a Listed Company), 2000, and the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 (hereafter: "the Reports Regulations"), concerning the convening of a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, to be held on Thursday, May 4th, 2023, at 15:00 at the offices of the Company, on #2 Ahuzat Bayit St., Tel Aviv, 11th Floor, Room 1101.

1. Topics on the Agenda and Proposed Resolutions:

1.1 Appointment of an Independent Director Recommended by the Nominating Committee and an Outside

Director - Mr. Yoav Chelouche

General Background

According to Section 50B3 of the Securities Law, 1968 (hereafter: "the Securities Law"), the Board of Directors of an exchange may include a maximum of fifteen members, the majority of which will be independent directors. It is further determined that the Board of Directors will include a minimum of three independent directors, which shall be appointed by the General Meeting, based on the recommendation of a public nominating committee, the composition and appointment of which is provided for in the Securities Law (hereafter: "the Nominating Committee"). Those directors recommended by the Nominating Committee (hereafter: "Directors Recommended by the Nominating Committee") may be appointed for three service periods of three years each, and for a total of 9 years (hereafter: "the Maximum Service Period") and are required to comply with a long list of specific qualification criteria in order to serve at TASE, including the qualification criteria that apply to outside directors in accordance with the provisions of Section 240 of the Companies Law, 1999 (hereafter: "the Companies Law"). Consequently, Section 50B3(3) of the Securities Law

determines that outside directors, in accordance with the requirement of Section 239(A) of the Companies Law, will be appointed from among the directors recommended by the Nominating Committee.

Within this framework, on January 12, 2022, the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders approved Mr. Yoav Chelouche for a third term in office (hereafter: "the Original Resolution"), inter alia, after obtaining the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. It should be noted that the text of the Original Resolution on the appointment of Mr. Chelouche mistakenly states that his term in office will end on May 14, 2023.

This error stems from the method used by the Company to count the maximum service period exclusively as a period commencing on the first date of appointment ("gross"), rather than as a period that is the accumulation of the actual periods served ("net"). Mr. Chelouche was appointed as a director in the Company for the first time on May 15, 2014 and has been serving ever since, except during the period from May 15, 2018 to February 28, 2019, a period of less than two years, which is not sufficient to cause a "restart" of the counting of the service period (hereafter: "the Intermission Period"). Taking into consideration the restrictions imposed by the Companies Law and the Securities Law on the maximum service period of an independent director recommended by a committee and an outside director and the Intermission Period, the Original Resolution stated that Mr. Chelouche will end his term in office on May 14, 2023, this in view of the inclusion of the Intermission Period in the count of the Maximum Service Period. Recently, as part of the Company's preparation for the end of Mr. Chelouche's office, the appropriateness of this method was questioned. After consulting with its outside legal counsel, the Company believes that a purposeoriented interpretation of the related provisions of the law, which are intended to prevent the independence of the outside director being compromised by a prolonged service with a company, in excess of 9 years, suggests that the Intermission Period, during which he did not serve in the Company, should not be included in the count of his service period.

Nevertheless, since due to the Company's error in interpretation, the appointment resolution Company stated a different end-date for the service period, to remove any doubt the resolution to appoint Mr. Chelouche as an independent director Recommended by the Nominating Committee and an outside director is hereby presented for reapproval.

Wording of the proposed resolution - To approve and ratify the appointment of Mr. Yoav Chelouche as an independent director Recommended by the Nominating Committee and as an outside director in the Company, from February 28, 2022 to February 27, 2024.

For information on Mr. Chelouche, including the terms of his office, see sections 2.1 and 2.4 below.

1.2 Appointment of an independent director - Ms. Ornit Kravitz

Wording of the proposed resolution - To appoint Ms. Ornit Kravitz (hereafter: "Ms. Kravitz") as an independent director in the Company, this until the end of the second annual meeting that would be held subsequent to this meeting, in accordance with the provisions of Article 101 of the Company's Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of section 2.5 below.

For information on Ms. Kravitz, including the terms of her office, see sections 2.2 and 2.4 below.

1.3 Appointment of an independent director - Mr. Jonathan Kolodny

Wording of the proposed resolution - To appoint Mr. Jonathan Kolodny (hereafter: "Mr. Kolodny") as an independent director in the Company, this until the end of the second annual meeting that would be held subsequent to this meeting, in accordance with the provisions of Article 101 of the Company's Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of section 2.5 below.

For information on Mr. Kolodny, including the terms of his office, see sections 2.3 and 2.4 below.

1.4 Retention Plan for the CEO

Wording of the proposed resolution - To approve the retention plan for Mr. Ittai Ben-Zeev, the CEO of TASE (hereafter: "the CEO" or "the TASE CEO"), including approval of the extension of the New Retention Loan (as defined in section 3 below) in an amount of NIS 3.5 million and the grant of 544,435 warrants exercisable into 544,435 ordinary shares of the Company; and to approve the provision of a car to the CEO by way of a lease agreement, for a monthly consideration that shall not exceed NIS 14,000 (including VAT).

3. Additional Information on Topic 1.4 on the Agenda:

  • 3.1 The TASE CEO has been in office since January 1, 2017, by virtue of an employment agreement, as updated from time to time. On May 1, 2019, the shareholders' meeting of the Company approved an update to the terms of office of the CEO, including an update to his monthly salary. Within this framework, taking into consideration the complexity of the challenges at that time and their anticipated duration, the shareholders' meeting approved a five-year retention plan for the CEO, ending in June 2024 (hereafter: "the 2019 Retention Plan"). The 2019 Retention Plan included a retention loan in an amount of NIS 3.5 million, which in June 2024, subject to him being in office on such date, will be fully converted into a grant (hereafter: "the 2019 Loan") as well as an equity compensation plan, by virtue of which 4,250,000 warrants were granted to the CEO, each convertible into one ordinary share of the Company, for an exercise price of NIS 12 per warrant (hereafter: "the 2019 Equity Compensation"), with a value of NIS 2,743 thousand. The aforesaid warrants will be exercisable into shares of the Company commencing on July 4, 2024 through to the end of 24 months of said date.
  • 3.2 On March 28, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company, after obtaining the approval of TASE's Audit Committee, in its capacity as the Compensation Committee, and subject to obtaining the approval of the Company's shareholders' meeting, approved an additional retention plan (hereafter: "the 2023 Retention Plan"), which is based on the principles of the 2019 Retention Plan, with certain adjustments, as set forth below:

3.2.1 Retention Loan

Subject to obtaining the approval of the Company's shareholders' meeting, on June 1, 2023 the Company will extend to the CEO a loan in an amount of NIS 3.5 million, for a period of 5 years. If the CEO remains in the employ of the Company at least until May 31, 2028, on May 31, 2028 the Loan will be converted into a grant (hereafter: "the Retention Loan" or "the Loan").

Until it is converted into a grant, the Retention Loan will bear annual imputed interest (including VAT), in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(i) of the Income Tax Ordinance1, the cost of which the Company will bear, including the tax gross-up in respect of it.

To secure the repayment of the Retention Loan, prior to its conversion into a grant, in full or in part, the CEO shall provide to the Company, as collateral, extensive rights of deduction and offsetting against severance pay funds, advanced study funds, early notice components, etc. (including such that have been accrued to him with previous employers) that are in his possession.

Should the employment relationship between the Company and the CEO terminate prior to May 31, 2028, the Loan will be handled based on the circumstances of the termination of the relationship, as follows:

  • 3.2.1.1 If the employment relationship is terminated at the initiative of the CEO, under circumstances other than death or permanent loss of working capacity, God forbid, the CEO would be required to repay the principal of the Retention Loan in full.
  • 3.2.1.2 If the employment relationship is terminated at the initiative of the Company, under ordinary circumstances, the CEO would be entitled to convert a proportional amount of the total Retention Loan into a grant, which shall be determined linearly based on the time span that had elapsed out of the overall period of the Retention Plan, and shall be obligated to repay the balance of the Loan to the Company. The portion of the Loan that is received as a grant shall be deemed work income on the same date, and the CEO will be charged income tax, surtax and any other applicable tax.
  • 3.2.1.3 If the employment relationship is terminated under circumstances of death or the permanent loss of working capacity, the CEO or his estate would be entitled to convert a proportional amount of the total Retention Loan into a grant, which shall be determined linearly based on the time span that had elapsed out of the overall period of the Retention Plan, and the

1 3.87% a year, as of 2023.

CEO or his estate shall be obligated to repay the balance of the Loan to the Company and the CEO or his estate will be charged income tax, surtax and any other applicable tax.

3.2.1.4 If the employment relationship is terminated under circumstances that revoke the CEO's entitlement to severance pay, the CEO would be required to repay the full amount of the Loan to the Company.

3.2.2 Equity Compensation

Since the Equity Compensation that is included in the 2023 Retention Plan constitutes a material private offering, the disclosure provided below is, among others, in accordance with Regulation 20 of the Securities Regulations (Private Offering of Securities in a Listed Company), 2000.

Subject to obtaining the approval of the Company's shareholders' meeting and of the approvals described in section 3.2.2.7 below, on June 1, 2023 the Company will allot to the CEO (in this section below, also: "the Offeree"), 544,435 warrants that are exercisable into 544,435 ordinary shares of the Company (hereafter: "the Warrants" and "the Exercise Shares"), respectively), under the terms that are specified in the CEO's warrant plan (hereafter: "the Plan" or "the Warrant Plan"), as set forth below:

3.2.2.1 The Offeree

The Offeree serves as the CEO of the Company by virtue of an employment agreement, and therefore an employer-employee relationship exists between him and the Company. The CEO of the Company is not an interested party within the meaning of the term in Section 270(5) of the Companies Law (hereafter: "Interested Party"), and to the best of the Company's knowledge is not expected to become an interested party or a stakeholder as a result of the grant of the Warrants, as aforesaid.

3.2.2.2 Terms of the Securities the Offering of which is Proposed, their Quantity and their Percentage of the Voting Rights and the Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital of the Company, After the Allotment as Well As On a Fully Diluted Basis

a. The Warrants will be allotted to a trustee appointed in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], and the regulations, the rules, the circulars and the directives issued by virtue thereof (hereafter: "the Trustee") on behalf of the CEO.

The Warrants will be allotted for no consideration.

b. The Warrants will not be listed on The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereafter: "TASE"). The shares of the Company that would be allotted by the Company to the Offeree upon the exercise of the Warrants (hereafter: "the Exercise Shares") are ordinary shares of the Company. The Exercise Shares shall be, commencing on their exercise date, equal in rights for all intents and purposes to the existing ordinary shares in the Company's share capital.

  • c. Each option shall be exercisable into one ordinary share of the Company, with no par value, in accordance with the terms that shall be stipulated in the Warrant Plan, and subject to adjustments.
  • d. To the date of this report, the authorized share capital of the Company is 150,000,000 ordinary shares. The issued and paid-up share capital of the Company as of the date of approval by the Board of Directors is 99,569,596 ordinary shares2 . After the allotment of the Warrants to the Offeree there will be no change in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company.
  • e. Under the theoretical assumption of the full exercise and conversion of all of the Warrants3 , after the allotment the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company will total 100,114,031 ordinary shares4 , and the Company shares that will derive from the exercise and/or conversion of all of the granted Warrants will constitute 0.54% of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company, after the allotment; and under the theoretical assumption of the full exercise and conversion of all of the granted Warrants and of the remaining allotted convertible securities of the Company - the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company will total 104,364,031 ordinary shares5 , and the Company shares that will derive from the exercise and/or conversion of all of the granted Warrants will constitute 0.52% of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company, after the allotment.
  • f. This assumption concerning the full exercise of the Warrants, is solely theoretical, since in practice, when exercising the Warrants, the Offeree will not be allocated the full number of Exercise Shares deriving therefrom, but only the number of Exercise Shares that reflects the amount of the monetary benefit embodied in the Warrants, as calculated on the exercise date of those Warrants, as detailed in section 3.2.2.9 below.
  • g. The Exercise Shares will be allotted out of the Company's authorized share capital and will be registered in the name of the Nominee Company of the Tel-Aviv Stock

2 At end-of-day of March 27, 2023; excluding dormant shares.

3 Without accounting for warrants awarded but not yet allotted to officers, as described in the Company's supplementary immediate report dated March 19, 2023 (reference no.: 2023-01-024286). The information that is provided in said immediate report is included herein by way of reference.

4Excluding dormant shares.

5Excluding dormant shares.

Exchange Ltd. Alternatively, the Exercise Shares may be transferred out of the Company's dormant shares (which are registered in the name of the Nominee Company of the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd.) and their listing on TASE will be reinstated upon such transfer.

  • h. The Exercise Shares will be equal in rights to the Ordinary Shares of the Company, for all intents and purposes, commencing on their allotment date, and shall be entitled to any dividend or another benefit, the date of record for the receipt of which falls on or subsequent to the date of allotment of the Exercise Shares.
  • i. It is hereby clarified that the Offeree shall have no rights as a shareholder in the Company in relation to Warrants that are granted to him under the Plan. In addition, unless otherwise determined in the terms of the Warrant Plan, the Offeree shall have no rights as a shareholder in the Company, in relation to the Exercise Shares, this until the registration of the Exercise Shares to his credit in an account maintained with the TASE member (which are included among the shares that are registered in the name of a nominee company).
  • j. As long as Exercise Shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Offeree, the Offeree may vote in respect of the Exercise Shares. The Offeree will apply to the Trustee in writing at least four business days prior to the date of the meeting and the Trustee will transfer to the Offeree a proxy letter to participate in the general meeting and to vote in respect of the Exercise Shares that are held by the Trustee on behalf of the Offeree, in compliance with the directives that the Company has determined for all of its shareholders.

For the purposes of this matter above, "business day" signifies any weekday on which most of the banks in Israel are open for business.

  • 3.2.2.3 Fair Value of the Securities that Are Convertible or Exercisable into Shares, Noting the Method and Formula Used to Calculate the Value and the Underlying Assumptions of Its Calculation
    • a. The fair value of the Warrants totals NIS 1,467 thousand. It should be noted that the quantity of the Warrants and their value, as above, were determined as follows:

As aforesaid, 2023 Retention Plan has identical terms and a similar scope to those of the 2019 Retention Plan. It should be noted that the value of the equity compensation granted to the CEO by virtue of the 2019 Retention Plan totaled NIS 2,743 thousand. Nevertheless, there is some overlap between the 2019 Retention Plan and the 2023 Retention Plan.

The overlap period between the remaining period of the 2019 Retention Plan (ending in June 2024) and the 2023 Retention Plan (commencing on June 1, 2023), is one year. The value of the benefits that is (linearly) attributed to this overlap period is estimated at NIS 1,276 thousand.

In order to avoid duplicate benefits during said period, the quantity of Warrants that is to be allotted in practice within the framework of the 2023 Retention Plan has been reduced, such that its value reflects the value of the 2019 Equity Compensation, less the value of the benefits that is attributed to the overlap period.

Accordingly, the value of each of the Warrants that will be allotted under the Plan is NIS 2.6945.

  • b. The value of the Warrants, as above, was calculated based on the value determined for the Warrants in an economic opinion dated March 27, 2023.
  • c. The fair value of the Warrants, as above, was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The calculation of the fair value of the Warrants takes into account the closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company on TASE as of March 27, 2023, which was NIS 17.72, with an annual standard deviation (based on historical prices of the share) of 32%, a risk-free interest rate of 3.82%, under the working assumption that, in the event that the average share price in 30 consecutive trading days exceeds double the exercise price of the Warrants, an early exercise of the Warrants will take place.
  • d. According to the Plan, the maximum possible allotment, in practice, is only up to the monetary amount of the benefit, all as set out in section 3.2.2.9 above.
  • e. It should be noted that the fair value calculation does not account for the fact that the Warrants will not be listed on TASE, and also does not account for the blocking of the Warrants for the lockup period specified in the Plan.

3.2.2.5 Details of the Consideration

  • a. The Warrants are offered to the CEO pursuant to the Warrant Plan for no consideration.

It is hereby clarified that, in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Plan, on the exercise date the CEO of the Company will not be required to pay the Exercise Price in practice, and the Company will capitalize a part of its profits to share capital or will take any other action permitted by law. Therefore, and to remove any doubt, it is hereby clarified that the Exercise Price of the Warrants that would be allotted to the Trustee on behalf of the TASE CEO will only be used to determine the amount of monetary benefit and the quantity of Exercise Shares that would actually be allotted to the TASE CEO, as described in section 3.2.2.9 to the offering report.

The exercise price, as per section 3.2.2.5 B below (adjusted as stated in section 3.2.2.10 below, as appropriate) of the Warrants in relation to which the Exercise Notice was given, multiplied by the number of the aforesaid Warrants.

This difference will serve as the amount of monetary benefit arising to the Offeree on the Exercise Date (above and below: "the Amount of Monetary Benefit").

It is proposed that the Company will make a vehicle available to the CEO by way of a lease agreement, for a monthly consideration that shall not exceed NIS 14,000 (including VAT). All other terms of provision of the vehicle will remain unchanged.

3.4 The Method Used to Determine the Consideration and the Reasoning for the Approval

  • a. During the CEO's term in office, the Company has undergone significant changes, increased its profitability, improved its efficiency in many areas, including the cutting back of costs, reduction of the size and expenses of the management and more. At the same time, the Company has formulated a multiannual strategic plan that is characterized by the sourcing of additional revenue streams for the Company.
  • b. The CEO's noteworthy contribution to the betterment of the Company and to the creation of substantial value to its shareholders.
  • c. Since, according to the strategic plan, significant strategic projects of the Company are expected to mature in the coming years, the Company needs solid leadership that can navigate the "ship" safely and successfully through the upcoming challenges.
  • d. In view of his invaluable contribution to the Company and to the various interfaces with which it interacts, the CEO is essential to the success of the Company, and his continued leadership of the Company in the coming years is of the utmost importance.
  • e. The purpose of the Retention Plan is to create a mechanism that will ensure, to the extent possible,

the CEO's continued service at the Company, at least in the next five years, including by rewarding the CEO for his successes in the development of the Company, and to create an adequate incentive for the CEO to further the Company's goals, with a long-term perspective, while generating profitability for TASE, and strengthening his identification with the goals of the Company.

  • f. While the period of the 2019 Retention Plan has not yet elapsed and is only expected to end in June 2024, it can be reasonably assumed that, as its termination draws closer, the CEO, being a valued and highly capable CEO, will receive various requests and offers for other high-level positions, which could lead to his stepping down from his office in the Company upon the termination of the 2019 Retention Plan. Accordingly, in view of the complex challenges that the Company will be facing in the coming years and the long-term perspective of the goals of the new strategic plan, it is wise to mitigate this risk by bringing forward the date of a new retention plan, with an appropriate balancing of the overlap period between the two retention plans.
  • g. Based on the aforesaid information and considerations, and having taken into account, among others, the considerations that are specified in Section 267B(a) of the Companies Law and the matters specified in Parts A and B of the First Addendum to the Companies Law, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have concluded that the extension of the Retention Loan and the grant of the Warrants to the CEO within the framework of the 2023 Retention Plan are reasonable, appropriate, and coincide with the interests of the Company and are designed to create an optimal incentive for the CEO to generate profit for the Company and pursue the achievement of its goals.
