  • 2.3.2. Performance conditions
    • 2.3.2.1. In addition to the above, the vesting of each Portion of Option is subject to compliance with the following performance conditions cumulatively:
      • 2.3.2.1.1. ROE target This index is calculated according to the total profit yield on the Company's average equity6 , based on the data of the Company's financial statements for the relevant year. For each year of vesting, as part of the determination of the annual working plan, the Company's BOD will determine the target ROE, by March 31st in the calendar year. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.2.2 below, the Offeree's eligibility for 100% of the Options in a Portion of Option at a specific vesting date, will be conditional on meeting at least 90% of the ROE target set by the BOD as aforesaid.

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.

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.

  • 2.3.2.3. The other relevant conditions regarding any portion of options, including the expiration date (including when the transaction is terminated), will remain unchanged.
  • 2.3.3. Except as otherwise provided by the BOD and unless otherwise expired in accordance with the provisions of this Outline and Report, all Options allotted to any Offeree under the Plan, but not exercised by the end of the Exercise Period, including the Options that have been vested, will expire and will be revoked at the end of their Exercise Period and will not acquire any right to their owners ("Expiration Date").

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.

2.4. The Exercise Price in respect of the Options Granted

  • 2.4.1. The Options are offered to Offerees without monetary consideration in cash (but for their work and service to the Company and the companies controlled by the Company or for services provided to it by them, as the case may be).

    • 2.4.2.1. For the First Portion of Options NIS 41.5;
    • 2.4.2.2. For the Second Portion of Options NIS 42.5;
    • 2.4.2.3. For the Third Portion of Options NIS 43.5.
  • 2.4.3 The Exercise Price of the Options as specified in Section 2.4.2 above is calculated as the closing price of the Company's stock on the TASE on 26.06.2023 (the trading day on the TASE preceding the date of approval of the allocation by the BOD) which stood at NIS38.09 and with the addition of the relevant premium of: 9% for the First Portion of Options, 12% for the Second Portion of Options, and 14% for the Third Portion of Options.

  • (2) Changing the original Exercise Price of the option granted to it and set it at a lower Exercise Price.

The Offeree will not pay the Exercise Price, which is used solely for the purpose of calculating the bonus component. When

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:

$$X = \frac{Y(A - B)}{C - Z}$$

  • X = The number of Exercise Shares actually received.
  • Y = The number of Options that can be exercised whose vesting date has reached and has not yet been exercised and which the Offeree seeks to exercise through this mechanism.
  • A = The closing price on the TASE of the Company's share on the last trading day preceding the exercise day; or the "Limit Price", the lower of the two.
  • B = The adjusted Exercise Price as defined in Section 2.4, subject to any adjustments as may be, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 below.
  • Z = The price that the Offeree will pay in effect, i.e., the nominal value of the Company's share (NIS 1.00), or NIS 0.30 minimum price, or NIS 0.00 if the Offeree does not pay anything.

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.

2.9. Expiration of Options

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.

2.10. Adjustments

  • 2.10.1. Adjustments for a transaction If the Company is a party to an agreement or an exchange arrangement (such as a merger or reorganization transaction and/or any transaction to change the capital structure of the Company) as part of a transaction (hereinafter: "the Exchange Transaction"), where shareholders will be offered to replace those shares with the securities of any other corporation, the Company will act to ensure that the same other corporation undertakes to allocate to the Offeree, if the Offeree exercised options after the Exchange Transaction during the Exercise Period and under the exercise conditions specified in the Plan, the securities offered as aforesaid to the ordinary shareholders of the Company, as if the Offeree were the exercise shareholder on the determining day for the purpose of the said Exchange Transaction. In the case of such an Exchange Transaction, the Company may oblige the Offeree in respect of all the Options granted that have not yet been exercised, to receive Options that can be exercised for the shares of the other corporation, instead of Options of the Company held by him, this is in accordance with the exchange ratio that will be determined for all the ordinary shareholders of the Company, provided that the total Exercise Price in respect of all the alternative Options to be allotted shall be equal to the total Exercise Price in respect of all those Options held by or for the Offeree and which have not yet been exercised. All other conditions of the allotment letter will remain the same, including the vesting dates, all as determined by the Company's BOD, whose decision will be exclusive and final. The Company will notify the Offeree of the Exchange Transaction in the manner and form that the Company deems appropriate at least 14 days before the determining date of the Exchange Transaction. After the Exchange Transaction date, all Options will expire and will not have any validity.
  • 2.10.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of any law, the Company's BOD has the authority to determine in its sole and final discretion, in relation to certain allotment letters, that the allotment letter will contain a clause instructing that if a transaction occurs as specified in Section 2.10.1 above, the acquiring company (or parent company or subsidiary of the acquiring company) does not agree to convert or exchange the Options, the vesting dates of all or some of the Options that have not yet reached the date of purchase will be accelerated, and the Offeree will be entitled to exercise the Options for shares 14 days before the date of the transaction specified in Section 2.10.1 above and/or the Offeree will be given compensation as determined by the Company's BOD and its decision will be exclusive and final. The Offeree will not have any claim against the Company and/or the Company's BOD, the acquiring company and/or anyone on their behalf in connection with such a decision.
  • 2.10.3. For the purposes of Section 2.10.1 above, the Option will be considered exchanged or converted if, following the transaction, the Option grants the right to purchase or receive, in respect of any share subject to the Option, immediately before the transaction, the consideration (if shares, options, cash or other securities or property) which will be accepted in the transaction by the shareholders in respect of each share held on the determining date of the transaction (and if such holders were given a choice as to the consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of the majority of the shares);

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.

  • 2.10.4. Consequences due to voluntary liquidation -Should it be decided to voluntarily liquidate the Company while there are Options that have not yet been exercised by virtue of the Plan, the Company will give notice to all the Options holders, regarding the said decision, and each Option holder will have 14 days to exercise the Options that have not yet been exercised for the shares and whose purchase date has arrived, in accordance with the exercise procedure set forth below. With the expiration of these 14 days, all Options that have not yet been exercised for shares up to that date, will expire immediately.
  • 2.10.5. Adjustments for changes in capital -Without detracting from the foregoing, in any event of a change in the Company's issued share capital by way of, a dividend in shares (bonus shares), a split of shares, consolidation or exchange of shares, a change in the Company's capital structure or any similar event by the Company or of the Company, then the number and type of shares under the Plan or the shares that can be exercised as a result of the exercise of Options granted under the Plan, and the Exercise Price will be adjusted proportionally (reduced or increased), in order to proportionally preserve the number of shares and their cumulative Exercise Price. With regard to adjustments in the distribution of rights, the provisions of Section 2.10.8 below shall apply.
  • 2.10.6. Adjustments due to distribution of bonus shares In the event that the Company distributes bonus shares that the determining date for their distribution will apply after the date of allotment of the Options to the Offeree, but before the Options have been exercised or expired, the number of shares to which the Offeree is entitled at the time of exercise of the Options will increase in the number of shares to which the Offeree would have been entitled as a bonus share if he had exercised the Options.
  • 2.10.7. Adjustments due to dividend payment In the event of a dividend payment by the Company to its ordinary shareholders, when the date determining the right to receive this dividend (as defined in the TASE Regulations) will apply after the allotment of the Options but before the date of their exercise, the Exercise Price of each option will be reduced on the day of the "ex-dividend" (as defined in the TASE Regulations) which will be determined by the TASE in the amount of the gross dividend paid for each share of the Company, provided that the Exercise Price of an Option will not be less than the minimum price per share set in the TASE Regulations and Guidelines, where relevant. Beyond adjustments in the Exercise Price as specified in this Section, the distribution of dividends by the Company will not in any way affect the number of Exercise Shares and will not obligate the Company to make any adjustment in connection with the number of Options and/or Exercise Shares.
  • 2.10.8. Adjustments in case of issuance of rights In the event of an issuance of rights by the Company to the shareholders, the Exercise Price of each option will be reduced by an amount equal to the bonus component in the issuance of the rights. For this purpose, the "bonus component" means: the difference between the share price on the TASE on the day prior to the ex-day of the issuance of rights, and the share price on the ex-day of the issuance of rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the Exercise Price will in no case be less than the par value of the share.

2.11. Limiting the Transferability of Options and/or Shares and Deferring Payment of "Variable Components"

  • 2.11.1. Non-Transferability of Options The Options or rights of the Offeree in connection with the Options, whether or not payment is made, may not be transferred, assignment, guaranteed, or any right in respect of them granted to a third party other than by virtue of a will or inheritance law, except as expressly provided under the Plan, and for the life of the Offeree, all of the Offeree's rights to purchase shares by virtue of the exercise of options under the Plan may be exercised by the Offeree only. Any such action, whether direct or indirect, whether immediate or future, shall be void.
  • 2.11.2. Non-Transferability of Options and shares held by the Trustee -As long as the shares and/or options are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Offeree, then all of the Offeree's rights are personal and are not transferred, checked, pledged, foreclosed on or otherwise encumbered, except for transfer by virtue of a will or inheritance law.
  • 2.11.3. Restrictions on Exercise Shares The Offeree will not sell or transfer any shares in the transaction which, in the Company's opinion, would be a violation of law, regulations or rules. The sale of the shares issued or transferred to the Offeree following the exercise of the option will be made by the Offeree in accordance with the Company's provisions, the provisions of the Securities Law, 5728- 1968 (hereinafter: "the Securities Law"), regulations and rules issued thereunder, and in accordance with TASE guidelines. Without detracting from the provisions of the Plan and this Outline, the Offerees shall be subject to the provisions and restrictions set forth in applicable law, including the Securities Law (and regulations enacted thereunder) and in particular the restrictions on the use of inside information, and they will be subject to restrictions as determined by the BOD from time to time, and to the Company's procedures, including regarding the prohibition of the use of inside information when selling shares and exercising options and subject to the provisions of the Capital Market and Insurance Authority.
  • 2.11.4. Deferral of payment of "variable components" (restrictions on the sale of Exercise Shares) With respect to officers in the Company and those who are defined as having a "key position" in the Group12, the sale of the Exercise Shares arising from the exercise of the Options, to the extent that it is exercised, may be subject to a deferral arrangement for payment of "variable components", to the extent required by applicable law and in accordance with the Company's Compensation Policy for its officers13. As far as the law allows, the Company will be entitled to decide that the deferral period will be shortened or canceled. Such aforesaid deferral arrangement, as will be applicable, will apply to the relevant deferred portion of the Exercise Shares, or on the consideration (net) received from the sale of the Exercise Shares (in case of the Offeree's decision to exercise options and sell shares).

2.12.2. The taxation applied to Options offered under the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance

  • 2.12.2.1. Options granted to Offerees under Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance, which are not "controlling shareholders" as the term is defined in Section 32(9) of the Ordinance, and the rights granted in respect of them or by virtue of the Exercise Shares, shall be entrusted to a Trustee for the benefit of the Offeree entitled for the period required in Section 102 of the Ordinance and the regulations enacted thereunder ("Minimum Trust Period"). In the event that the requirements of Section 102(b)(2) of the Ordinance are not met, the entitled Offeree will not benefit from the tax benefit in this Section.
  • 2.12.2.2. An Offeree will not be entitled to sell, or transfer from the trust, an option, or a share received as a result of the exercise of an option granted under Section 102 of the Capital Gains Track, or from the exercise of rights received in respect of these shares, including bonus shares, before the expiration of the Minimum Trust Period required by law.

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.

Chapter 3 - The Rights Attached to the Company's Shares

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.

Chapter 4 - Additional Details

The following are additional details required in accordance with the provisions of the law:

4.1. Details about the Company's share prices

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

4.2 The economic value of the Options according to this Outline

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:

  • 4.2.1. Assumption of exercise of all Options and theoretical assumption of allocation of the maximum possible amount of Exercise Shares.
  • 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%.

  • 4.2.4. Risk-free interest rate The Exercise Price is not linked, and therefore a risk-free interest rate derived from the yield curve of "Shahar" type government bonds is taken for a period corresponding to the life of each portion of the expected option. Accordingly, the risk-free interest rates taken in calculating the value of the Options range from 4.13% and 3.78%.
  • 4.2.5. Duration of Options between 2.27 and 4 years.
  • 4.2.6. The bonus limit, according to which, the maximum bonus that will accrue to the Offerees from the exercise of each option will not exceed the Limit Price for each of the Portion of Options, as defined in Section 2.7.3 above.
  • 4.2.7. Expected dividend rate: 3.5%.

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.

4.3. Company Share Prices on the Stock Exchange

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).

4.4. The Consideration for the Options and the Exercise Price

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.

4.5. Agreements regarding the Purchase or Sale of the Company's Securities or regarding the Voting Rights Therein

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.
