Item 4.
Ownership
 
Mr. Elsztain holds through companies in his control (i) 100% of the shares of IDB Development, and (ii) 83.71% of the shares of Discount Investment. IDB Development holds 15.3% of the shares of CIEH of which approximately 10.4% of the shares are held by a Trustee as described in the next paragraph. Discount Investment holds 100% of the shares of Koor Industries Ltd. which in turn holds 68.75% of the shares of Epsilon and 44.08% (47.01% of the voting rights) of the shares of Cellcom.

While each of Mr. Elsztain and IDB Development is a Reporting Person herein, each of Mr. Elsztain and IBD Development disclaims beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares reported as held by CIEH herein, primarily as a result of the following: On August 21, 2013, the Israeli Supervisor of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings (the "Commissioner of Insurance") appointed Mr. Moshe Terry (the "Trustee") to hold, as trustee, IDB Development means of control in CIEH, including the voting power, except for 5% which remains held by IDB Development, and instructed IDB Development to dispose of its interest in CIEH.
 
All of the CIEH Shares are held for members of the public through, among others, provident funds and/or pension funds and/or insurance policies, which are managed by subsidiaries of CIEH. Consequently, this Statement shall not be construed as an admission by either of the Reporting Persons that any of them is the beneficial owner of any Ordinary Shares held by CIEH covered by this Statement.
 
 All of the Epsilon Shares are held by mutual funds, which are managed by Epsilon Investment House Ltd. and/or Epsilon Mutual Funds Management (1991) Ltd. . Epsilon Investment House Ltd. and Epsilon Mutual Funds Management (1991) Ltd. each operates under independent management and makes independent investment decisions and has no voting power in the securities held in such client accounts. Consequently, this Statement shall not be construed as an admission by Mr. Elsztain that he is the beneficial owner of any Ordinary Shares held by Epsilon covered by this Statement.
