1.1. The Options Offered - According to this Outline, the CEO is offered, together with up to 138 additional Offerees who are officers of the Company and officers and employees of subsidiaries and companies under the control of the Company and to 3 service providers to the Company, up to 3,196,588 Options, not listed for trading, without monetary consideration in cash (offered for work or service of the Offerees to the Company [or to companies under their control] or for services provided to it by them, as they may be) and exercisable up to 3,196,588 ordinary shares registered in the name, of 1.00 NIS nominal value of the Company each ("Company Shares"), out of which, 57,190 Options to the CEO of the Company, 270,952 Options to officers of the Company 2,791,705Options to employees of the Company and to employees and officers in companies under the control of the Company, and 76,741 to 3 service providers to the Company, and all are subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.10 below and to all other terms of the Plan (as defined below) and the terms of the Options set forth in Chapter 2 of the Outline.
In a theoretical assumption of the exercise of the full Options that can be allotted according to this Outline, the shares that will be formed as a result of the exercise of all the Options will constitute immediately after their exercise and taking into account the issued and paid-up capital of the Company as it is today, approximately 0.37% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company and approximately 0.37% of the voting rights therein (and approximately 0.36%% and approximately 0.36%, respectively, in full dilution2 ), of these, the Options for the CEO constitute approximately 0.01% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company and approximately 0.01% of the voting rights therein (and approximately 0.01% and approximately 0.01% respectively, in full dilution). In practice, no allotments will be allocated to the Offerees who exercise the Options arising from them, but only shares in an amount that reflects the amount of the monetary benefit inherent in the Options, as specified in Section 2.8 of this Outline.
1.2. The Offerees - The Offerees according to this Outline and report are the CEO of the Company, 7officers of the Company, 10officers of companies controlled by the Company, and 121 employees who are not officers of the Company and the companies under its control and 3 service providers to the Company. All Offerees under this Outline are employees who have an employee-employer relationship3 between them or the companies under its control, except 3 service providers who do not have an employee-employer relationship.
The Offerees are not stakeholders, as defined in the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law") by virtue of their holdings in the Company being allocated and will not become such stakeholders after the allotment of the shares resulting from the exercise of the Options (except for the CEO of the Company who is a stakeholder by virtue of his position). The Offerees are not an "interested party" in the Company (as the term is defined in Section 207(5) of the Companies Law) and will not become an "interested party" in the Company following the allotment. In addition, the Offerees do not constitute an "employee who is a stakeholder" as the term is defined in the TASE Regulations.
1.3. The Options Plan and Allotment to the Trustee in the Capital Gains Track – On December 27th , 2018, the Company's BOD decided to adopt an Options Plan under which employees, officers, directors, and consultants in the Company, without cash consideration, will be allotted unlisted options for the purchase of
5,728,752 treasury shares in accordance with the Companies Law, which are held by the Company as of June 28, 2023.
2 In the holding calculations the following were not taken into account within the framework of the issued share capital of the Company –
3 For the purposes of this Outline, "control" - as defined in Section 1 of the Securities Law.
ordinary shares of the Company ("the Options Plan" or "the Plan" 4 ). The Options Plan allows for the granting of Options to Offerees within the framework of this Outline, inter alia, subject to the conditions set forth in the Capital Gains Track in Section 102(b)(3) of the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721-1961 ("Income Tax Ordinance" or "the Ordinance") and subject to Section 3(i) of the Income Tax Ordinance. The Options that will be granted to the Offerees in accordance with the Capital Gains Track in Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance, as well as the exercise shares and rights that will be derived from them, will be deposited for them in trust with a Trustee5 , who will hold them in trust for periods specified in Section 102 of the Ordinance ("Section 102", "Capital Gains Track" and "the Trustee"), under the conditions set forth below. The Company filed the Plan with the Israeli Tax Authority on January 3rd, 2019, in accordance to the instructions of the Capital Gains Track and will allocate the Options accordingly.
The Options that will be assigned to Offerees who are not employees of the Company (that is, service providers), will be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(i) of the Ordinance and may also be held by the Trustee.
4 The Plan was amended on September 15th, 2020 to allow the Company to make use of treasury shares that it will hold when exercising the Options under the Plan.
5 It is hereby clarified that wherever there is a reference to the granting of the Exercise Shares to the Offeree or Trustee on his behalf, as the case may be, the intention is to register the shares for the benefit of the Offeree or the Trustee, as the case may be, with a stock exchange member, in such a way that those shares will be registered in the register of shareholders of the Company in the name of the Nominee Company (as of the date of this Outline, a company for listings on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd.).
2.1.1. The Options are offered in the quantity specified and for the Offerees listed in Section 1.1 above. The allotment of Options will be made shortly after the date on which the last required approvals under Sections 1.5 and 1.6 above are received.
Company's Articles of Association and the tax applicable to the distribution of such dividends, and as the case may be, subject to Section 102 and the provisions of the Capital Gains Track.
2.2.2.2. Voting rights - To the extent that the Exercise Shares are held by the Trustee for the Offeree, the voting rights in respect of those shares shall be in the hands of the Trustee. The Trustee shall not vote in respect of the Exercise Shares held by him for the Offeree and shall grant a power of attorney to the Offeree to vote in respect of the Exercise Shares at the shareholders' meeting, subject to the Offeree's request, if and to the extent such request is made.
The First Portion of Options, the Second Portion of Options, and the Third Portion of Options together, the "Portion of Options" and each of these portions alone, "Portion of Option", so that after the expiration of the vesting period described above, all Options will be exercisable (subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.2 below). The "Exercise Period of the First Option", the "Exercise Period of the Second Option" and the "Exercise Period of the Third Option" will be hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Exercise Period".
6 Average equity (Opening Equity balance + Closing Equity balance)/2
The calculation of compliance with such a target will be made on the date of publication of the annual consolidated financial statements in relation to each of the years of vesting. That is, in connection with the First Portion, the performance conditions will be measured for the results of 2023; in connection with the Second Portion, the performance conditions will be measured for the results of 2024 and in connection with the Third Portion. The performance conditions will be measured for the results of 2025.
Economic Solvency Ratio Index - An index that expresses the ratio between the recognized economic capital available to The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd., and the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR), taking into account the "spread period" as defined by the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority, and taking into account capital operations carried out until the first publication of this ratio, when this index is calculated in accordance with the Supervisory Circular - "Amendment to the Consolidated Circular on the Directives for Implementing an Economic Solvency of Insurance Company based on Solvency II Regime", dated October 14, 2020, or other circular which shall replace it ("Economic Solvency Circular"). In accordance with this target, at the time of vesting, an examination of the economic solvency ratio published in the financial statements for the three calendar years preceding the vesting date will be examined and the compliance of the aforesaid ratio with the economic solvency provisions throughout the period will be examined7 .
2.3.2.2. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in relation to each of the Portions of Options, in the event that the performance conditions specified in subsection 2.3.2.1.1 above (the ROE target) for a relevant year were not met, compliance with these conditions of performance will be remeasured in the year following the relevant year and not after the expiration date of the relevant Portion of Option, provided that the options also meet the condition set out in subsection 2.3.2.1.1 above (i.e., compliance with the economic solvency ratio index) at all relevant measurement dates.
For example, if the performance conditions of the ROE target in relation to the First Portion of Options for 2023 are not met, compliance with these performance conditions of the First Portion of Options in relation to 2024 will be measured both in relation to the ROE target and in the economic solvency index, so if in any of this period the performance conditions are not met in the manner described above, this portion of options will expire without the exercise of the shares on the expiration date in respect of it. It shall be clarified, with regard to the example above, that if there is no compliance with the index of the economic solvency ratio in any year of the said measurement years, the portion of the options will expire immediately without Exercise Shares.
7 Notwithstanding the aforesaid, in the event that the Company did not meet the economic solvency ratio for a certain date as required in the Economic Solvency Circular, but completed compliance with this ratio within six months, in accordance with the period of the amendment defined by the Economic Solvency Circular, this will be considered by the Company as complying with this ratio to the aforesaid date.
Subject to the receipt of the approvals required by law and the Company's Compensation Policy, the BOD will have the authority to grant the Offeree, at his own discretion, the following:
The granting of an option to the Offeree in accordance with the Plan will be done through an Allotment Letter that will be signed between the Company and the Offeree in the form as approved by the BOD from time to time. Each Allotment Letter shall state, inter alia, the number of Options granted, the number of shares that will result from the exercise of the option, the type of option granted (for example, "Capital Gains Track Option"), or an Option under Section 3(i) of the Ordinance) vesting schedules, performance conditions as applicable, and other conditions as determined by the BOD, and provided they are consistent with the conditions of the Compensation Policy and the Plan.
2.7.1. General - Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7.2 below, the Options may be exercised by the Offeree in full or in part from time to time, if the vesting date and exercise of the option has arrived in accordance with the conditions specified in the Allotment Letter of the Offeree during the Exercise Period, and before the expiration date, and all on the condition that subject to the conditions of Section
2.7.5 below, the Offeree is employed by, or provides services to, a company or related companies8 , at any time during a period which begins with the grant of the option and ends on the date of exercise of the option.
2.7.2. Exercise of shares' options on the determining day of a Company Event - As long as the Company's shares are listed for trade on the TASE, the Options will not be exercised on "the determining day" (as defined in the TASE Regulations) for the distribution of bonus shares, to an offer by way of rights, to distribute dividends, to consolidate capital, to split capital or to reduce capital (each of the above will be called: "Company Event") and such exercise shall be postponed to the following trading day. The Options will not be exercised on the "X Day" (as defined in the TASE Regulations), in the event that the "X Day" (as defined in the TASE Regulations) of a Company Event occurs before the determining day of a Company Event and the exercise is postponed to the following trading day.
8 "Affiliated company" is any company: (a) that is a "controlling owner" (as this term is defined in Section 102) of the Company; or (b) that the company is a "controlling owner" of it; or (c) that has a common "controlling owner" with the Company.
immediately upon termination of the contract. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be clarified that the transfer of the Offeree from the Company to related companies and/or from the related companies to the Company9 and contracting as an employee or service provider will not be considered as termination of contract for the purposes of the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of Termination of Contract, the Options that have not yet reached the vesting date at the date of Termination of Contract, will not be vested, will not be exercisable and will not have any validity.
9 See footnote 8 above.
exercising the options for Exercise Shares, the Offeree will not be required to pay the Company a cash consideration and will not pay the par value of the Exercise Shares (with the exception of payment of the minimum price in compliance with the TASE Regulations, to the extent that payment is required, as described below).
2.8.3. The Company will capitalize part of its profits or premiums on share capital as defined in Section 302(b) of the Companies Law or act in any other manner permitted by law in the event of an issue of shares for an amount lower than their nominal value, all in accordance with the applicable law, including in accordance with Section 304 of the Companies Law. To the extent that the applicable law does not allow such conduct, the cumulative par value of the Exercise Shares actually received, will be paid by the Offeree to the Company at the time the Options are exercised, in a manner determined by the BOD10 (including by cash, check or bank transfer, or a combination thereof).
Also, subject to what is stated in the TASE Regulations, Offerors who are not employees of the Company or companies under its control (that is, the service providers) will be required to pay, against the allotment of the Exercise Shares, the abovementioned 'minimum price' per share (according to the provisions of the TASE Regulations at the time of allotment of the shares) for each of the abovementioned Exercise Shares, and the Company shall capitalize the amount of the difference between the total of the abovementioned payment and the total nominal value in respect of the Exercise Shares that will be allotted to share capital from its profits or from any other source permitted by law in the case of shares issued for an amount that is lower than their nominal value, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 304 of the Companies Law11 .
2.8.4. Further to the aforesaid, the number of shares which may be purchased by the Offeree under this mechanism shall be determined according to the following formula:
$$X = \frac{Y(A - B)}{C - Z}$$
10 It should be noted that if and at the time of allotment of shares, the Offerees are subject to partial exercising, with regards to exercising the Options, the provisions of the TASE Regulations concerning the 'minimum price' per share (which, at the time of the report is 30 agorot), and the 'minimum price' per share at that same time is higher than the nominal value of the Company's share, then wherever there is a reference in the Options Plan and in this report to payment of the nominal value of the share by the Offerees at the time of its purchase, it will read as if the 'minimum price' per share was written. In the event that the 'minimum price' is higher than the abovementioned nominal value, then no capitalization of share capital will be made as mentioned in this section above.
11 It is clarified that the Company will consider the Exercise Shares as paid in full.
In any case where, as a result of the calculation detailed above the Company will be required to allot fraction of shares, the Company will not allot such fraction of shares and the number of shares allotted to the actual Offeree will be rounded to the nearest whole number.
The Option will expire if it was not previously exercised for share, at the earlier of the two dates: (1) the expiration date; (2) termination of the period specified in Sections 2.7.4 to 2.7.6 above, as the case may be.
provided that, if such consideration received in the case of a transaction is not in ordinary shares (or equivalent) of the acquiring company (or its parent company or subsidiary), the BOD may, after obtaining the consent of the acquiring company, determine that the consideration received in the exercise of the option will be only ordinary shares (or equivalent to them), of the acquiring company (or its parent company or its subsidiary) whose market price is equal to the price per share received by the holders of the majority of the shares in the transaction; and subject to the discretion of the BOD, that in such a case of exchange or conversion of an option against an option of the acquiring company, such option shall be exchanged against any other type of asset including cash, fairly in the existing circumstances.
The Company submitted to the tax authorities the Plan under which the Options for allocation will be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance or in accordance with Section 3(i) of the Ordinance, as the case may be. The Company has chosen a Capital Gains Track that will apply to the Company's employees.
12 According to the Institutional Bodies Circular 2019-9-6 concerning "Amendment of the Provisions of the Consolidated Circular Part 1, Title 5 Chapter 5, entitled "Compensation" ("the Consolidated Circular").
13 A similar clause also exists in the Compensation Policy applicable to "key functionaries" (according to the Consolidated Circular) in a group who are not officers of the Company.
If there is a charge for any tax or other mandatory payment (social security, state health tax, etc.) in respect of and/or due to the Plan, including in respect of the allotment of Options to the Offeree, their exercise for shares, the sale of the Exercise Shares, the receipt of a dividend or any other benefit in respect of options or shares of the exercise under the Plan - only the Offeree shall bear it.
The Company's obligation to allocate or transfer Exercise Shares when exercising the Options, or to perform any other action in connection with or in respect of Options or Exercise Shares, is subject to full compliance with any income tax obligation or other obligation applicable (insofar as applicable), including deduction of any tax or payment obligation required by law.
2.12.2.4. Regarding voting rights, see Section 2.2.2.2 above.
The taxable income to be attributed to the Options to be allotted in accordance with Section 3(i) of the Ordinance will be tax-exempt at the date of allotment but will be taxable at the exercise of the share options at the applicable marginal tax rate. The obligation to pay the tax (including VAT) will apply to the Offeree and will be a precondition for the exercise of the Options. In accordance with the law, the Company will initially deduct the tax that will apply to the Offeree when exercising the Options.
The provisions of Section 2.12 above apply to the law as of the date of the Outline. The provisions of the law regarding the mandatory payments and the tax aspects in respect of the Options granted under this Outline may change from time to time.
The description of the tax implications presented in the framework of the Plan and described in this Outline does not purport to be an authoritative, complete, full and/or up-to-date interpretation of the
legal provisions relating to taxes that may apply in connection with the granting of securities to the Offeree, does not take into account the unique circumstances of each Offeree and does not replace legal and professional advice on the matter. As is customary in investing in securities, the Offeree must consider the various tax aspects and the tax implications that his/her investment will have and consult his/her professional advisers, including legal advice and taxation taking into account his/her special data.
For details of the main rights attached to the Company's shares, see Chapter 3 of the Outline published by the Company on October 11th, 2020, reference number 2020-01-110610.
The following are additional details required in accordance with the provisions of the law:
The following are details regarding the high and low adjusted closing rate of the Company's share on the TASE in 2021, 2022, and 2023 (until close to the date of publication of this Outline) (In case the closing rate was the same in the number of trading days in each of the said periods, the first trading day was indicated):
| Period | High Closing Rate (Agora) | Low Closing Rate (Agora) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rate | Date | Rate | Date | ||
| 2021 | 4,072.00 | 28/12/2021 | 2,155.05 | 06/01/2021 | |
| 2022 | 4,147.30 | 20/04/2022 | 3,089.25 | 13/06/2022 | |
| 202314 | 4,050.00 | 28/05/2023 | 3,323.35 | 26/02/2023 |
The total economic value of all the warrants, if all of them were granted today as stated above, is approximately 19,556 thousand of NIS, of which the cost of the grant to the CEO is 350 thousand of NIS.
The said economic value is calculated according to the binomial model, taking into account the closing rate of the Company's share on the TASE on 26 June 2023, which is NIS_38.09.
In calculating the above economic value, the following assumptions were taken into account:
4.2.2. The calculation of the economic value does not take into account the fact that the Options will not be listed for trading on the TASE, nor does it take into account the blocking of the Options for the lock-out periods specified in the Plan and by law.
4.2.3. Expected volatility calculated according to the historical standard deviation of the Company's share according to the daily closing rates of the Company's share, and in accordance with the contractual life of each of the option shares. Calculated standard deviations range from a rate of about 29.29% to about 32.61%.
The amount of cost to be recorded in the Company's books in respect of the allotment of Options to the Offerees will be in the amount of the economic value in such a way that the economic value of each portion will be spread over the entire vesting period. The economic value of the Options may differ from that specified in this Section above, depending on the actual grant date of the Options.
The Options are not tradable but can be exercised for ordinary shares of the Company traded on the TASE. The closing rate of an ordinary share of the Company on the TASE on 27.06.2023 (the trading day on the TASE that preceded the date of publication of this Outline) was NIS 37.5. The closing rate as aforesaid is lower than the Exercise Price in the First Portion of Options, in the Second Portion of Options and in the Third Portion of Options, by approximately 11%, by approximately13% and by approximately 16%, respectively (i.e., the Exercise Price is higher than the closing rate as stated).
The Options are allocated to Offerees without monetary consideration in cash (except for their tenure, employment, and the provision of services by them), and it is clarified that the Company will consider the Exercise Shares as paid in full. For details on the Exercise Price, see Section 2.4 above. The consideration was determined by a decision of the BOD. For details on how the Exercise Price is determined, see Section 2.4.3 of this report.
To the best of the Company's knowledge, as of the date of publication of this Outline, there are no agreements, either in writing or orally, between the Offerees and a shareholder in the Company or between the Offerees and others, regarding the purchase or sale of the Company's securities or voting rights.
The Options and Exercise Shares are subject to restrictions by virtue of the Plan, as specified in Chapter 2 of this Outline, and in Section 2.11 above.
According to the Securities Law and the Securities Regulations (details regarding Sections 15A to 15C of the law), 5738-2000, those who are not employees of the Company and companies under its control may be subject to the restrictions described below regarding resale while trading the Exercise Shares on the TASE:

4.8.2. The consideration and the manner in which the consideration was determined
The Options are offered to the CEO as part of the terms of his tenure and employment, without consideration in cash, but in return for his term in office. The granting of Options is subject to the approval of the general meeting of the Company's shareholders. See Section 4.8.4 below for the required approvals and Section 4.4 for the consideration.
4.8.3. Substantial shareholders or officers in the Company who have, to the best of the Company's knowledge, a personal interest in approving the granting of Options to the CEO, and the nature of the personal interest of each of them
To the best of the Company's knowledge, the Company's stakeholders have no personal interest in offering the Options to the Company's CEO. The CEO of the Company has a personal interest in offering the Options according to this Outline by virtue of being an Offeree of the Options. For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that other non-directors' officers are Offerees of the Options in this Outline and Report.
The CEO shall be subject to the provisions and restrictions set forth in applicable law, including the Securities Law and regulations enacted thereunder, and he shall be subject to restrictions as determined by the BOD from time to time, including restrictions designed to prevent concern about the use of inside information.
In addition, restrictions apply to the performance of Options transactions in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance, as applicable.
The Options will be allotted shortly after receiving all the approvals required by law.
