Introduction to the Phoenix

Leader in Israeli insurance, asset management, and financial services

February 2021

- CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY -

.

This presentation includes the main points of the Company's strategic plan for the years 2020-2024 as formulated during 2020. Accordingly, the presentation includes forward-looking information as defined in section 32A of the Securities Law 5728-1968.

Such information includes, inter alia, various forecasts, objectives, assessments and estimates, including information provided by way of illustrations and/or graphs and/or tables relating to future events or matters, revenue and profitability from new initiatives and from the implementation of various plans, profit forecasts and other future financial data whose realization is uncertain and not under the control of the Phoenix Group.

In recent months, the management of the Company has carried out a process accompanied by an international strategy consulting firm, based on the Company's data, market data, raw or processed information collected by the consulting firm and comparative data analyzed with the consulting firm's financial models and based on certain working assumptions regarding the Company's operations and relevant markets.

This presentation is based on the subjective assessment of the Company and its consultants, and, among other things, relies on past experience, professional knowledge gained by the Company, research knowledge, tests and analyses performed by the consulting firm, existing information and current expectations and assessments, including future developments as known to the Company today. Forecasts assume a 3% yield on investments.

The realization and/or non-realization of the forward-looking information will be affected by risk factors that characterize the activities of the Company and group companies, as detailed in the Company's periodic reports, including changes in economic conditions, capital market in Israel and globally, the development of competition in the segments relevant to the group's activities, regulatory changes, changes in consumer preferences and consumption habits, a change in working assumptions or in the economic models and assumptions used by the consulting firm – that can not be estimated in advance and are not controlled by the Company. Hence, there is no certainty that the actual results and achievements of the Company in the future will be in accordance with these views and may differ, also substantially, from those presented in this presentation.

The business strategy presented in this presentation is correct as of the date of the presentation and may change in the future, among other things, taking into account the risk factors listed above and the decisions of the Company's board of directors and boards of directors of the group companies.

This presentation does not constitute an offer to purchase or sell the Company's securities, or an invitation to receive such offers. This presentation was made for convenience and is an outline presentation only and does not exhaust or purport to encompass the full data about the Company and its activities. This presentation was made for the sake of summary and convenience only and cannot replace a review of the reports published by the Company to the public, which include the full information about the Company, prior to making a decision regarding investment in the Company's securities. The presentation also includes information which been collected from third parties in regard of which the Company has not checked the data itself. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company does not undertake to update or change the information contained in this presentation.
