4. Events During the Reporting Period and Thereafter

4.1 Disclosure on the effects of the "Swords of Iron" War–

On October 8, 2023, the Government of Israel declared a state of war (which is still ongoing after subsequent to the reporting date), following the surprise attack by Hamas. This has had an unsettling effect on TASE, mirroring the overall economic climate. Prices dropped, the Fear Index surged and the exchange rate of the dollar crossed the NIS 4 mark. Despite the aforesaid, the local market proved resilient, and already close to the end of October 2023 managed to curb the price drops and resume growth, as the indices regained and even somewhat exceeded their pre-war levels. Overall, in 2023 TASE's leading indices, TA-35 and TA-90, increased by 4%, each, and by the end of 2023 the devaluation of the shekel subsided and the Fear Index dropped.

In 2024, trading continued under the shadow of security and geopolitical tensions, which caused market volatility and even led to a downgrade of Israel's credit rating by the international credit rating agencies:

  • Moody's: downgraded the rating during the year from A1 to Baa1, maintaining the negative outlook.
  • S&P: downgraded the rating during the year from AA- to A, maintaining the negative outlook.
  • Fitch: downgraded the rating from A+ to A, maintaining the negative outlook.

In the first seven months of 2024, moderate price gains were recorded in the local market, which, alongside positive macroeconomic data indicating economic stability, continued to show underperformance. Due to military initiatives and the return of a sense of civilian security, the last five months of the year saw a significant recovery that included sharp price gains which positioned TASE as a top-yielder, ahead of leading indices in the U.S. and Europe.

Overall, in 2024, Israel's risk premium dropped significantly, the average trading volumes in the equity and bond markets increased, and TASE continued to serve as a significant source of fundraising for the State of Israel and the companies.

In the first quarter of 2025, the developments at TASE fell under two distinct periods. In the first period, from the beginning of 2025 until the resumed fighting in Gaza (1.1.25-17.3.25), a ceasefire with Hamas was in placeand some of the hostages were returned. The second period commenced with the resuming of hostilities in Gaza and the initiation of proceedings for the dismissal of the Director of the Israel Security Agency and the Attorney General and ended at the end of the first quarter (18.3.25-31.3.25).

4.1 Disclosure on the effects of the "Swords of Iron" War–(Cont.)

In the first period, the equity indices presented substantial price gains, and ranked among the top global performers. In contrast, during the second period the equity indices experienced price drops and underperformance. At the same time, Israel's risk premium, as reflected in the CDS and the yields of the government bonds, increased. Overall, in the first quarter, the TASE indices outperformed their U.S. counterparts, but were outperformed by European counterparts

In January 2025, the aforementioned rating agencies published announcements indicating that a successful implementation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas may ease economic pressures. However, they emphasized that they will continue to monitor the implementation of the agreement, as there is still uncertainty as to its sustainability and whether it would lead to a durable cessation of the war and to a reduction in the prolonged heightened risks that are currently reflected in Israel's negative rating outlook.

After the fighting resumed, in March 2025, the rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, published a rating update, maintaining the State of Israel's current credit rating and the negative outlook.

Additionally, in January 2025 the Bank of Israel updated its macroeconomic forecast to a more positive outlook. The quarterly macroeconomic forecast published by the Bank of Israel in April incorporated the impacts of changes to the Israeli tax system that took effect on January 1, 2025 and the resuming of hostilities, and addressed the U.S. President's tariff plan. The updated forecast projects lower GDP growth than that anticipated in the January forecast, while the deficit forecast was revised downwards due to anticipated increased revenues following the raising of the tax rates. In its forecast, the Bank noted that a scenario involving a significant expansion of the hostilities in Southern Israel would increase the deficit and the Debt-GDP ratio, and would also raise the risk premium and adversely affect the exchange rate of the shekel. Such scenario could result in a lower growth rate than that anticipated in the forecast, and in higher inflation and interest rates.

The economy is slower to recover compared to past crises and has yet to resume its pre-war level of activity. The war, the duration and scope of which cannot be estimated, could have adverse effects on the Israeli market and the economy, including economic slowdown, exchange rate fluctuations, disruptions in the manufacturing and supply chain, rise in food, commodity and energy prices, and increase in the government

deficit. Alongside the anticipated impact of the Swords of Iron War on Israel's macroeconomic indicators and the growing uncertainty in the market, the War is also expected to affect the operations and profitability of corporations in Israel and increase the occurrence of insolvency proceedings and debt arrangements, which will entail higher credit losses and provisions for credit losses by financiers. Those effects, combined with the macroeconomic effects, could also affect, both indirectly and directly, the operations and profitability of TASE, this, inter alia, as a result of: changes in the prices of shares, changes in the prices of government and corporate bonds, changes in the volumes of activity in the various channels, change in the activity of the foreign investors and the institutional investors, and change in the volumes of capital and debt raising on TASE. At this stage, while a significant amount of time had elapsed since the breakout of the War, due to the uncertainty surrounding the intensity, duration and long-term effects of the War, the Company is unable to assess the impact of those changes on its operations and profitability.

4.2 Adoption of a Dividend Distribution Policy

On March 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a dividend distribution policy in connection with the profits of the Company in the years 2024 to 2026 (hereafter: "the Dividend Distribution Policy"), pursuant to which, commencing on the date of approval of the financial statements as of December 31, 2024 through to the date of approval of the financial statements as of December 31, 2026, the termination date of the Dividend Distribution Policy, the Company will work to distribute to its shareholders a cash dividend at the rate of 50% of the annual net profit as per the Company's consolidated annual financial statements, this on the date of approval of the annual financial statements.

To remove any doubt, it is hereby clarified that the approval of the Dividend Distribution Policy does not obligate the Board of Directors of the Company to pass a resolution on the distribution of a dividend. Any resolution on the distribution of a dividend will be passed subject to compliance with the distribution criteria set out in the Companies Law, which would be reviewed on the date of passing of a resolution to distribute a dividend, and in consideration of the current business needs of the Company, the budget and the work plan of the Company for the year pertaining to the distribution, the liquidity situation of the Company, liabilities and covenants, as well as regulatory requirements that apply to companies in the Group (e.g. liquidity requirement and minimum capital requirement), all on the date that such resolution is passed. It is further clarified that the Board of Directors may modify and/or cancel and/or deviate from the Dividend Distribution Policy at any time.

To the reporting date, 93,999,167 Arrangement Shares have been realized, and TASE's part in the consideration for those shares totaled NIS 316 million.

4.4 Receipts from shareholders as part of the implementation of the change in ownership structure (Cont.)

In the first quarter of 2025, as part of a process for the validation of estimates, the Company, with the assistance of an independent external consultant, examined, for revenue recognition purposes, the estimate concerning the period over which the securities of the customer are traded on TASE. Similar to the estimate used by the Company in prior periods, it has been decided that the period of recognition of revenue from listing fees on the initial listing of shares and on the listing of ETFs and ETNs is 12 years, and on the secondary offering of shares, 6 years. The aforementioned estimate was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 13, 2025.

4.8 Distribution model between TASE and the subsidiaries

Pursuant to the stated in note 25E(2) to the annual company's financial statements for 2024 with regard to the distribution model between TASE and the subsidiaries, in the first quarter of 2025 the Company examined the model with the assistance of an independent external consultant. As part of the examination, it has been decided that the procedure for the distribution of the economic profit between TASE and the subsidiaries will continue to be calculated as a percentage of the Company's revenue. The economic profitability and the distribution of the mixed-income were updated in accordance with a recent market survey.

The aforementioned updated model was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and by the Boards of Directors of the Company's subsidiaries on May 13, 2025.

4.9 Plan for the buyback of the Company's shares from Manikay Fund

On January 9, 2025, after obtaining the approval of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company (as well as following the review by the Risk Management Committee of the Company's Board of Directors of the aspects pertaining to the capital and liquidity requirements), the Company entered into a transaction with Manikay Global Opportunities Holdings 1, LLC (hereafter: "Manikay Fund"), an interested party in the Company, for the buyback of 4,622,028 ordinary shares of the Company (hereafter: "the Purchased Shares"), representing 4.82% of the issued share capital of the Company (Excluding dormant shares held by the Company), at a price of NIS 43.79 per Purchased Share and for a total consideration of NIS 202.4 million before transaction costs (hereafter: "the Transaction"). As a result of the Transaction, the Company recognized a reduction in its retained earnings in the amount of the Transaction's consideration. The Transaction was executed as an off-exchange transaction.

On the one hand, following the execution of the Transaction, Manikay Fund's percentage holding decreased to approximately 15.2% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding dormant shares held by the Company, including the Purchased Shares). On the other hand, due to the Purchased Shares becoming dormant shares, the percentage holdings of the other equity holders in the Company increased by a uniform rate of approximately 5.07% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding dormant shares held by the Company, including the Purchased Shares).

To complete the picture, it should be noted that, as part of the move and despite the existence of sufficient liquid balances, the company's Board of Directors has approved TASE's engagement in an agreement with a bank for the receipt of a loan in an amount of NIS 130 million, which was used by the Company to make an early repayment of a previous loan, as described in note 4.10 below, the balance of which at the transaction date (principal and interest) was NIS 100 million. In addition, in order to maintain a positive cash balance at the level of the Company (stand-alone), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company distributed to the company a dividend of NIS 30 million out of its liquid balances.

In addition, since the balance of the receipts from the sale of the Arrangement Shares, which is designed to finance the investments in the Group's IT systems, cannot be included in the liquid means of the Group fo

purposes of the compliance with the Capital and liquidity Requirements, the Company has also entered into an agreement with the Bank for the receipt of a credit facility of NIS 120 million for a period of one year.

To the date of this report, the credit facility has not been utilized.

4.10. Bank Loan

On January 9, 2025, concurrently with the transaction for the buyback of Company shares (see note 4.9 above), the Company obtained a loan from a bank in an amount of NIS 130 million ("the New Loan"). The New Loan was used by the Company to make a full early repayment of a previous loan, the balance of which was NIS 100 million (principal and interest) on the repayment date. The New Loan bears annual interest at the rate of Prime with the addition of a 0.2% margin and is repayable in 36 equal monthly principal installments at the end of each month, commencing in February 2025 through to January 2028 (inclusive). The interest on the loan is payable concurrently with the aforesaid principal installments. The Company has made undertakings to the bank that are customary in agreements such as the loan agreement.

The New Loan contains undertakings with similar characteristics to those prescribed for the Repaid Loan, including an undertaking to refrain from pledging the TASE building and an undertaking not to sell, transfer or make any transaction in the rights of the Company in the real estate that is used for the offices of TASE, as well as an undertaking to comply with covenants that are calculated in relation to the Company's (stand-alone) data, as described below.

In addition, the Company received a credit facility from the bank in an amount of NIS 120 million, for a period of one year ("the Credit Facility"). With respect to the Credit Facility, the Company will pay a setting-up fee in an amount equal to 0.33% of the amount of credit therein. In the event of utilization of the Credit Facility, the credit amounts will bear interest at an identical rate to that of the New Loan. The Company's undertakings to the bank in respect of the New Loan shall also apply in relation to the Credit Facility. To the date of this report, the Company has not utilized the Credit Facility.

4.11. Legal Proceedings

  1. Further to the stated in note 18F(1) to the Annual Financial Statements concerning a petition filed by the Israeli Association of Mutual Fund Managers Ltd. (hereafter: "the Association") against the Israel Securities Authority and TASE (hereafter: "the Respondents"), on March 11, 2025 the State submitted its preliminary response to the petition.

On April 1, 2025, after the reporting date, the Association submitted a response to the preliminary responses, arguing that there are no grounds for the dismissal of the petition due to delay, since the Respondents had caused various delays in the delivery of documents designed to serve as the foundation for the filing of the petition. The association further argues in its response that the preliminary responses do not clarify how and on what data the Authority based its resolution.

It is the assessment of the Company's legal advisors, taking into account the grounds of the petition and the timing of its filing, that the petition is more likely to be rejected than accepted.

  1. Further to the transaction for the buyback of Company shares, as described in note 4.9 above, on January 16, 2025, the Company received a motion for the certification of a class action filed against it with the Economic Department of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court (hereafter: "the Motion") by a named plaintiff who, on January 9, 2025, had allegedly held 12 shares of the Company (hereafter: "the Plaintiff"). The Motion alleges that the Company prejudiced its shareholders in violation of the provisions of the law, including the provisions of Section 191 of the Companies Law, which concerns the prohibition of shareholder oppression. This, according to the Plaintiff, due to the Company's engagement with Manikay Fund, an interested party in the Company (hereafter: "Manikay Fund") in a transaction for the buyback of Company shares at a premium of 2% above the market price, instead of making a tender offer under the same terms to all of its shareholders (including the Plaintiff). The class on the behalf of which the Plaintiff seeks to conduct the class action is "anyone who has held shares of The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. on January 9, 2025, excluding the Respondent and/or Manikay Fund". According to the court's ruling from April 10, 2025, the Company is required to submit its response by June 1, 2025. In the opinion of the Company's legal advisors, at this preliminary stage the chances of the Motion cannot be estimated.

Nevertheless, based on a preliminary review of the arguments and considering the information furnished to the Company's legal advisors, it is their assessment, at this stage, that the chances of the Motion being accepted are low.
