Re: Immediate Report on Convening an Special General Assembly for the Company's Shareholders

In accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), with the Securities Regulations (Period and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970 (the "Reports' Regulations") and with the Companies Regulations (Notice and Ad on General Assembly and Type Assembly in a Public Company and Adding a Topic to the Agenda), 5760-2000 ("Notice and Ad Regulations"), a notice is hereby given concerning the convening of the Company's Special General Assembly, which shall convene on Thursday, January 5, 2023 at 17:00, at the Company's offices located at 53 HaShalom Road, Giv'atayim, 20th floor (the "Company's Offices"), and on its agenda will be the topics detailed in this Report.

1. The topics on the agenda and a summary of the proposed resolutions:

1.1. Update of the Remuneration Policy for the years 2021-2023

  • 1.1.1. On October 22, 2020, the Company's General Meeting approved a new Remuneration Policy for Company's officials for a period of three years effective January 1, 2021 ("Remuneration Policy"). For additional details see Immediate Reports from September 16, 2020, and October 22, 2020 (Reference No.: 2020- 01-102009 and 2020-01-106480, respectively).
  • 1.1.2. On November 29, 2022, after receiving the approval of the Company's Compensation Committee, on October 31, 2022, the Company's BOD approved the Amendment of the Remuneration Policy ("Amendment of the Remuneration Policy"). The version of the Remuneration Policy in track changes is attached as Appendix A to the meeting summons report.

1.1.3. The main points of the Amendment of the Remuneration Policy are as follows:

Section 15 of the Remuneration Policy was updated in a way that will allow the granting of equity compensation for the shares of companies held by the Company, directly or indirectly, for Company's Officers, in addition to the possibility to grant an equity compensation for the Company's shares.

The Hebrew immediate report is the binding report-

Summary of the proposed resolution - "Approve the Amendment of the Remuneration Policy for Company's Officers in the version attached as Appendix A to this report."

1.1.4. Reasons for amending the Remuneration Policy

  • 1.1.4.1. The Compensation Committee and the BOD believe that there is great importance in tying the compensation of the Officers in the Company with the success of companies held by the Company, directly or indirectly ("Affiliate Companies"), in which the Officers play a role and/or have an influence on the course of their businesses in the long run. Tying the performance of the Officers and the performance of the Affiliate Companies in such cases will assist in the business promotion and raising the value of the Affiliate Companies, thus increasing the value of the Company's share and therefore it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. A good way to tie the performance of the Officers with the performance of the Affiliate Companies is through the granting of equity compensation to the Affiliate Companies.
  • 1.1.4.2. The Compensation Committee and the BOD believe that equity compensation to Affiliate Companies is an acceptable and appropriate tool and even most of the institutional bodies will recommend voting in favor of its granting, under certain circumstances, in accordance with their voting policy at general meetings.
  • 1.1.4.3. The Compensation Committee and the BOD stated that the equity compensation, insofar as it is granted, will be limited in scope, in light of the fact that it will be subject to the caps and limitations in the Company's Remuneration Policy, the provisions of Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority, and the Financial Corporations Officer Remuneration Law. Accordingly, the equity compensation (if classified as variable compensation), will depend on performance and will be subject to spread, deferral, restitution and forfeiture arrangements.

1.2. Amendment to the Company's AOA

1.2.1. It is hereby proposed to bring to the approval of the General Meeting a proposal to update the Company's AOA, the main points of which are as follows: 1. Amending the section regarding the composition of the BOD, so that the BOD will be comprised of up to maximum 12 directors; 2. The cancellation of the provision in the Company's AOA regarding the possibility of issuing bearer shares which was relevant in the past, during the period when the Mandatory Companies Ordinance came into force (before being replaced by the new Companies Law) and which is not in use.

The version of the AOA in track changes is attached as Appendix B to the meeting summons report.

Summary of the proposed resolution - "Adopt the amendments to the Company's AOA in accordance with the version of the AOA attached as Appendix B to this meeting summons report."

However, regarding remuneration agreements that had been approved prior to the aforesaid date, the provisions under the policy shall not apply to rights accrued and/or formed in respect of periods prior to the date of entry into force of the provisions under the Officeholders Remuneration Law and the Institutional Entities Circular 20144-9-2 that had been published on April 10, 2014, and as amended on October 7, 2015 (the "Previous Circular"), and regarding the provisions of the Previous Circular's amendment - according to the date of such amendment's taking effect, as applicable.1

3. The Objectives of the Remuneration Policy for the Company's Officers and Employees

The Company's remuneration policy supports obtaining the Company's long-term objectives and work plans, as well as considering its risk management, inter alia by:

  • Provision of the tools required for recruitment, motivation and retention of managers and highly-skilled employees in the Company, who will be able to contribute to the Company and maximize its profits in the long term.
  • Establishment of a reasonable and appropriate incentives' layout for Key Position Employees at the Company, considering, inter alia, the Company's features, its long term business activities, the Company's risk management policy and the work relations at the Company.
  • In respect of varying remuneration placing an emphasis on performance based remuneration and linkage of remuneration of Key Position Employees to the Company's performance, while adjusting the remuneration of Key Position Employees to their contribution in achieving the Company's long term objectives and maximizing its profits, and according to their position.
  • Establishment of an appropriate mix of the various remuneration components (such as fixed components vis-a-vis varying components as well as short term components vis-a-vis long term components).
  • Prevention of formation of incentives for taking exceptional risks or beyond the Company's risk appetite and of the policyholders' funds saved through it.

1 It is hereby clarified that the provisions of the remuneration policy shall not be more stringent than the transitional provisions set out in the Circular and such shall not adversely affect the rights the transitional provisions had been designed to protect.

  • Ensuring the suitability of incentives for intelligent management of policyholders' funds saved through the Company, considering the yield and long term risk.
  • Ensuring the existence of appropriate remuneration arrangements and ensuring an appropriate balance between the wish to reward Key Position Employees and motivate them, and the need to ensure that the compensation structure is consistent with the best interests of the Company and the policyholders saving through it.

4. The Population of Employees Subjected to the Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy (including all chapters thereof) is designed for setting out a framework for the terms of service and employment of all of the Company's employees, including:

  • (1) Chairman of the Board of Directors;
  • (2) Board members;
  • (3) CEO of the Company;
  • (4) Key Position Employees who are Officers;
  • (5) Key Position Employees who are not Officers, including Key Employees;
  • (6) The other employees at the Company who are not listed among one of the groups noted in this Section 4 above.

5. The Main Concept and the Company's Remuneration Policy

5.1. The overall remuneration concept

The overall remuneration of the Officers and employees at the Company may be composed of several components so that each component rewards the Officer and employee for a different component of his contribution to the Company:

  • 5.1.1.Fixed component2 - this component includes two sub-components: [a] basic wage (salary); and [b] fringe benefits, and it shall constitute a significant part of the total remuneration of a Key Position Employee.
    • The basic wage (salary) is intended to reward the Officer for the time he invests in performing his duties for the Company and for performing the position's tasks on a daily basis. The basic wage expresses the Officer's skills (such as: his experience, the know-how he brings to the position, the expertise he had gained within the domain of occupation, his education, the professional certifications he had gained, etc.) on the one hand, and on the other hand the requirements of the position and the authority he holds. The amount of this wage shall be determined,

2 Should an officer be employed in the form of a service provider (rather than an employee), the fixed relevant components, as specified in this remuneration policy, shall be translated into the equivalent management fees' values.

also noting the basic wages customary in the industry for similar position holders and it expresses also the need for recruiting and retaining in the Company's senior positions highly skilled and experienced Officers.

  • The fringe benefits, some of which stem from the provisions under law (such as: social contributions, vacation days, sick-days, convalescence pay, etc.), some stemming from the customary practices in the labor market (such as savings in a continued education fund) and some are other customary fringe benefits such as - car, phone, communication services, newspapers and professional literature and the like. Additionally, the Officers may be entitled to reimbursement of travel expenses, accommodation and per diem expenses, pursuant to the Company's procedures (a limit has been established in the Company's procedures in this regard).
  • 5.1.2.Varying component this component may include a performance dependent component, cash bonus/es and/or other varying equity compensation:
    • Cash bonus/es these components are designed to reward the Officer in the short-term for his achievements and contribution in obtaining the Company's objectives during the period for which the varying remuneration is paid.
    • Equity compensation is intended to link between the yielding gained by shareholders as expressed in the increase of the Company's share value over time and the remuneration granted to the Company's Officers. This remuneration establishes alignment of interests among the Officers and shareholders and assists in forming motivation and retention of Key Position Employees in the Company.

5.2. The Ratio between the Varying Components and the Fixed Components

  • 5.2.1. In determining the overall remuneration of the Company's employees, the ratio between the fixed components and the varying components of the remuneration shall be taken into account. The examination shall be conducted considering the employee's position, expertise, skills, seniority, responsibility and performance, as well as the need to motivate conduct supporting the Company's risk management framework and long-term financial stability, and this while examining the reasonability of granting such also relative to that customary in the market.
  • 5.2.2. Subject to the Consolidated Circular, the annual rate of the varying component shall not exceed 100% of the annual fixed component cost, unless the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have determined that there are exceptional circumstances justifying so, and special reasons have been recorded in this matter. Where such exceptional

circumstances take place, the rate of the varying component shall not exceed 200% of the annual fixed component cost. For the purposes of this Section only: "Key Position Employee" - except for CEO; "Exceptional Circumstances" - circumstances regarding a one-time business event that is not repeated annually, and which do not apply to a wide group of Key Position Employees.

  • 5.2.3. As a rule, the ratio between the varying remuneration and the cost of the fixed remuneration regarding an Officer or Key Position Employee in risk management, control and inspection functions as well as various supporting functions ("Control and Supervision Functions") will tend to the benefit of the fixed remuneration compared to this ratio for an Officer or Key Position Employee in business functions.
  • 5.3. The Company shall not bear the expenses of employment of any of its employees or Key Position Employees due to his service in office at another corporation, including office in another corporation that is part of the investors' group the Company belongs to.
  • 5.4. The Company shall bear the expenses of employment of any of its employees or other Key Position Employee depending on the scope of the position, the authorizations and liabilities of such, and subject to the limitations under the Consolidated Circular.3
  • 5.5. The Company shall ensure that any employee or Key Position Employee in it will not obtain any remuneration in respect of his service in office in the Company from another party, including from the Company's controlling shareholder or a non-controlling significant holder in the Company, all subject to the provisions of the Consolidated Circular.

3 Meaning, during service in office of an employee or key position employee in a number of institutional entities that are part of a group of investors, each institutional entity in the group shall be required to bear the cost of employment of that employee or Key Position Employee according to the scope of the position, authorizations and liabilities at that institutional entity, and subject to the limitations under the Consolidated Circular.

Chapter II – Remuneration of Company Officers

6. Population

This Chapter refers to Key Position Employees, as defined in the Consolidated Circular, who are Company Officers, as the definition of this term in the Companies Law, who are employed through personal agreements, meaning CEO and Officers reporting to the CEO (in this Section each of the aforementioned shall be referred to as an "Officer").

This Chapter refers also to remuneration of the active Chairman of the Board of Directors and remuneration of board members.

7. Means of Remuneration

The overall Officers' remuneration package integrates fixed and varying components in a balanced manner in order to motivate the Officers in the short term and long term performance, while avoiding taking risks beyond the Company's risk appetite. The Officers' remuneration package may include the following components:4

  • (1) Fixed remuneration monthly wage, social contributions and fringe benefits, salary components for which no social payments will be paid, assured bonus in respect of which no social contributions will be made and retirement payments as customary in respect of the other Company employees.
  • (2) Varying remuneration an annual bonus (including Measurable Annual Bonus and Annual Bonus per Discretion), special bonus (due to a special contribution or special event), signing bonus, equity bonus and retirement payments beyond that customary in respect of the other Company employees.

8. The Ratio between Officers' Remuneration and Remuneration of the Other Company Employees

Upon establishing this remuneration policy, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have examined, inter alia, the ratio between the cost of employment of the Officer and the average and median cost of employment of the other Company employees and contract workers employed by the Company; as well as the impact of the said relations on the work relations in the Company, and noting the Company's nature, size, mix of personnel employed by it and the nature of its business.

9. Insignificant Change in the Terms of Office of an Officer Reporting to the CEO

4 Employment agreements that had existed prior to the date of this policy's taking effect, meaning up to January 1, 2021 (the "Effective Date"), may include other compensation components (such as thirteenth salary), all pursuant to the officers' remuneration policy that had been in effect up to Effective Date of this remuneration policy. Commencing the Effective Date, each new employment agreement, including an existing employment agreement that had been renewed, shall be adapted to the provisions of this remuneration policy.

To the extent permissible by law, the CEO shall be entitled to approve an insignificant change in terms of remuneration of an Officer reporting to the CEO, without obtaining the approval of the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, provided that the change brought for obtaining this approval complies with the remuneration policy. In this regard - "Insignificant Change in Terms of Remuneration of an Officer Reporting to the CEO" is a change in terms of service and employment including varying non-equity remuneration of an Officer (as defined in the Consolidated Circular), who reports to the CEO, which does not exceed in the aggregate 15% of the cost of his total remuneration over the period of 3 years.

10. Principles for Determining Fixed Remuneration

The coverage limit (the liability limit under the policy) shall not exceed USD 220 million9 plus reasonable legal costs in accordance with Section 66 of the Insurance Contract Law, 5741-1981 per an event and total for the insurance period.

9 As of today the coverage cap is up to USD 120 million.
