941,942 ORDINARY SHARES

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 10:00 A.M., NEW YORK TIME, OR

We, The Capri Family Foundation, a foundation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Capri”), are offering to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares, NIS 0.65 par value per share, of Optibase Ltd., (“Optibase” and “Optibase Shares”, respectively), not already owned by our bidder group, at the price of $11.60 per Optibase share, net to you (subject to withholding taxes, as applicable), in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”). Based on the Report on Form 6-K filed by Optibase on July 8, 2021, net of treasury shares, there were 5,198,361 Optibase Shares outstanding as of July 7, 2021, of which 941,942 Optibase Shares are not already owned by our bidder group.

THE OFFER IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE.  SEE SECTION 19 – “CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER,” WHICH SETS FORTH IN FULL THE CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
 
THE OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED ON THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING OR THE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OPTIBASE.
 
THE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 10:00 A.M., NEW YORK TIME, OR 5:00 P.M., ISRAEL TIME, ON MARCH 17, 2022, UNLESS EXTENDED. SEE SECTION 9 - “TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE” AND SECTION 19 – “CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.”
 
The Optibase Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, or Nasdaq, and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, under the ticker symbol “OBAS”. On June 29, 2021, the last trading day before we first announced our intention to commence a tender offer for Optibase Shares, the closing sale price of the Optibase Shares was $11.00 on Nasdaq and NIS 35.78 on TASE.

On February 14, 2022, the last U.S. trading day before we commenced the offer, the last price per Optibase Share reported on Nasdaq was $11.75 and on the TASE was NIS 41.00.  The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is less than those most recent trading prices and less than the closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq on every U.S. trading day since January 5, 2022.

The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is LESS than recent trading prices for the Optibase Shares on
Nasdaq and on the TASE.

We encourage you to obtain current market quotations for the Optibase Shares before deciding whether to tender your Optibase Shares. See Section 14 - “Price Range of the Shares etc.”

Unless the context otherwise requires, the percentages of the outstanding Optibase Shares (as defined below) and the percentages of the voting power of Optibase stated throughout this offer to purchase are based on 5,198,361 Optibase Shares outstanding as of July 7, 2021 (based on the Report on Form 6-K filed by Optibase on July 8, 2021). Optibase beneficially owns 17,895 of its own shares, as treasury shares with no voting or equity rights, and these shares are deemed not outstanding and are disregarded throughout this offer to purchase.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this offer to purchase, a “U.S. business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, U.S. federal holiday or any other day on which the banks in the U.S. are permitted not to be open for business, and an “Israeli business day” means any day other than a Friday, Saturday, or any other day on which the banks in both Israel and the U.S. are permitted not to be open for business.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This summary term sheet is a brief summary of the material provisions of this offer to purchase 941,942 ordinary shares of Optibase, par value NIS 0.65 per share (which we refer to as Optibase Shares) being made by Capri, and is meant to help you understand the offer. This summary term sheet is not meant to be a substitute for the information contained in the remainder of this offer to purchase, and the information contained in this summary term sheet is qualified in its entirety by the fuller descriptions and explanations contained in the later pages of this offer to purchase. The following are some of the questions you, as a shareholder of Optibase, may have about us and the offer and answers to those questions. We recommend that you read carefully this entire offer to purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and other related documents delivered to you prior to making any decision regarding whether to tender your shares.

WHO IS OFFERING TO BUY MY SECURITIES?

We are The Capri Family Foundation, a foundation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama. See Introduction and Section 17 – “Information Concerning the Bidder Group.”

Mr. Shlomo (Tom) Wyler personally holds 159,218 Optibase Shares, or approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Optibase Shares, making him the next largest holder of Optibase Shares after Capri, and we consulted with him about the terms and conditions of our offer. Mr. Wyler, directly or through entities that he controlled, transferred to us a portion of the Optibase Share that we hold, and our beneficiaries, as a foundation, are the children and grandchildren of Mr. Wyler. Because of these connections, our offer may be deemed in part to be structured by or made on behalf of Mr. Wyler, and in this offer to purchase we refer to Mr. Wyler and ourselves collectively as our “bidder group.” For clarity, Mr. Wyler disclaims control of us or beneficial ownership of the Optibase Shares that we hold.

HOW MANY SHARES ARE SOUGHT IN THIS OFFER?

We are offering to purchase all of the outstanding Optibase Shares not owned by the bidder group.

Our offer is subject to a minimum condition. See Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”

If the minimum condition is satisfied and we purchase all tendered shares, then by operation of the Israeli Companies Law, without further action by any person, we automatically thereby will acquire the Optibase Shares held by any persons who did not tender into the offer and will be obligated to pay the Offer Price to those holders. We refer to this possible result of the offer as the “Compulsory Acquisition.”
 
See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date” and Section 12 – “Withdrawal Rights.”
 
1



WHAT ARE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER?

It is a condition of our offer that prior to the expiration of our offer either –


o
682,024 or more Optibase Shares shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and the majority of those Optibase Shares shall have been tendered by offerees who do not have a “personal interest,” within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law and as described below, in the offer; or

o
837,975 or more Optibase Shares shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn.

We refer to this condition as the minimum condition.

Our offer is subject to customary additional conditions but our offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing or the approval of the board of directors of Optibase.

Under the Israeli Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a person in an action or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (a) any spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the person, any descendant, sibling or parent of a spouse of the person and the spouse of any of the foregoing; and (b) a company with respect to which the person (or any of the foregoing relatives of the person) owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights, serves as a director or chief executive officer or has the right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the ownership of shares.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, in the case of a person tendering by proxy “personal interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to tender the shares. We ask each shareholder to inform us, when tendering their Optibase Shares, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the acceptance of the offer.  A shareholder who fails to provide this information will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether the alternative minimum of 682,024 Optibase Shares, described above in this section, has been satisfied.

See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date,” Section 19 - “Conditions of the Offer,” and “-- HOW MANY SHARES ARE SOUGHT IN THIS OFFER?, above.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER ARE NOT SATISFIED?

If any condition is not satisfied, we may elect not to purchase, or may be prohibited from purchasing, any Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer, or, subject to applicable law, we may waive such conditions. We will  not waive the minimum condition. See “Introduction,” Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date” and Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”

WHY ARE YOU CONDUCTING THIS OFFER?

The purpose of the offer is for Capri to acquire the entire equity interest in Optibase. See “Special Factors – Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Optibase.”

HOW MUCH ARE YOU OFFERING TO PAY AND WHAT IS THE FORM OF PAYMENT?

We are offering to pay $11.60 per Optibase Share, net to you (subject to withholding taxes, as applicable), in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”). All shareholders tendering their Optibase Shares in the offer to the U.S. Depositary will be paid in United States dollars, and shareholders tendering their Optibase Shares in the offer to the Israeli Depositary will be paid in NIS based on the NIS/United States dollar exchange rate on the Expiration Date. See  “Introduction,” Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date,” Section 10 -  “Acceptance for Payment and Payment,” and, with respect to withholding taxes, Section 13 - “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax and Israeli Income Tax Consequences.”

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE OPTIBASE SHARES DO YOU CURRENTLY OWN?

Capri currently owns 4,097,201 Optibase Shares, or approximately 78.8% of the outstanding Optibase Shares, and Mr. Wyler owns an additional 159,218 Optibase Shares, or approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Optibase Shares.

See “Introduction” and Section 19 - “Conditions of the Offer.”

The Offer Price is LESS than recent trading prices for the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq and on the TASE. On February 14, 2022, the last full trading day before we commenced the offer, the last price per Optibase Share reported on Nasdaq was $11.75 and on the TASE was NIS 41.00. The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is 1.3% less than such last reported price on Nasdaq and 7.8% less than such last reported price on the TASE, and less than the closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq on every U.S. trading day since January 5, 2022.
During the six months prior to commencement of the offer, the average closing price of the Optibase Shares reported on Nasdaq was $11.10 and on the TASE was NIS 37.07. The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is 4.4% greater than such six-month average price on Nasdaq and 2.1% greater than such six-month average price on the TASE.

Optibase Shares are traded on Nasdaq and on TASE under the symbol “OBAS.” We recommend that you obtain a recent quotation for your Optibase Shares prior to deciding whether or not to tender your Optibase Shares.

See Section 14 - “Price Range of the Shares etc.”

DO YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PAY THE PURCHASE PRICE IN THE OFFER?

Yes. We possess all of the necessary funds to consummate the offer from cash on hand and an existing loan facility with a third party lender. The offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing.

According to Israeli law, to secure the payment for the Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer, the Israeli Depositary, which is a TASE member, has agreed to guarantee our obligation to pay for the Optibase Shares tendered and accepted by us for payment pursuant to the offer. To secure this guarantee, we have engaged the Israeli Depositary to act as an escrow agent and have deposited cash into an escrow account in an amount sufficient to pay for the maximum number of Optibase Shares that we are offering to purchase in the offer.

See Section 10 - “Acceptance for Payment and Payment” and Section 18 – “Sources and Amount of Funds.”

IS YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION RELEVANT TO MY DECISION ON WHETHER TO TENDER IN THE OFFER?

We do not believe that our financial condition is material to your decision whether to tender Optibase Shares and accept the offer because --

o
The offer consideration consists solely of cash;

o
the offer is not subject to any financing condition;

o
all of the funds necessary to consummate the offer are available to us either as cash on hand or from an existing loan facility with a third party lender, and we have deposited cash into an escrow account with the Israeli Depositary in an amount sufficient to pay for the maximum number of Optibase Shares that we are offering to purchase in the offer;

o
we are already a controlling shareholder of Optibase; and

o
we are a private foundation and our financial statements primarily reflect our management’s ability to manage an investment portfolio, rather than our ability to manage an operating company such as Optibase.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO ACCEPT THE OFFER AND TENDER MY SHARES?

You may tender your Optibase Shares until 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on March 17, 2022 (as may be extended, the “Expiration Date”).

See “Introduction,” Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date,” Section 11 - “Procedures for Tendering Shares” and Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”

HOW DO I TENDER MY OPTIBASE SHARES AND TO WHICH DEPOSITARY SHOULD I TENDER?

This depends on the manner in which you hold your Optibase Shares:

If you hold your Optibase Shares through a TASE member, you should tender your Optibase Shares to the Israeli Depositary by following the applicable procedures and instructions described in Section 11 - “Procedures for Tendering Shares”; and

All other holders of Optibase Shares should tender their Optibase shares to the U.S. Depositary by following the applicable procedures and instructions described in Section 11 - “ Procedures for Tendering Shares.”

WHEN CAN I WITHDRAW THE OPTIBASE SHARES I TENDERED PURSUANT TO THE OFFER?

You may withdraw your tender at any time before 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 pm Israel time, on March 17, 2022 or, if we extend our offer, before 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 pm Israel time, on the date to which the offer is extended.

WHEN WILL YOU PAY FOR THE OPTIBASE SHARES TENDERED IN THE OFFER?

All of the Optibase Shares validly tendered pursuant to the offer and not properly withdrawn will be paid for promptly following the Expiration Date.  We expect to make such payment within four U.S. business days following the Expiration Date. See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date,” Section 10 – “Acceptance for Payment and Payment” and Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”

CAN THE OFFER BE EXTENDED, AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES?

We have the right, in our sole discretion, to extend the Expiration Date, subject to applicable law. In addition, in certain circumstances, we may be required by law to extend the Expiration Date.  See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date.”

HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED IF THE OFFER IS EXTENDED?

If we decide to extend the Expiration Date, we will inform the Depositaries, the Information Agent and our Israeli legal counsel of that fact. We will also publicly announce the new Expiration Date in accordance with applicable law, and in any event we will issue a press release no later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, or 4:00 p.m., Israel time, on the first U.S. business day following the day on which we decide to extend the Expiration Date. Under Israeli law, we are required to file an immediate report with the ISA no later than one Israeli business day prior to the previously scheduled Expiration Date, and, within one Israeli business day thereafter, publish the notice in two daily newspapers having a mass circulation and published in Israel in Hebrew. See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date.”

HAS OPTIBASE OR ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS ADOPTED A POSITION ON THE OFFER?

Under applicable U.S. law, no later than ten U.S. business days from the date of this offer to purchase, Optibase is required to publish, send or give to you a statement disclosing that it either recommends acceptance or rejection of the offer, expresses no opinion and remains neutral toward the offer, or is unable to take a position with respect to the offer.

Under Israeli law, Optibase’s board of directors is not required to express its opinion to the shareholders on the advisability of the offer, and it may refrain from expressing an opinion on the offer.

As of the date of this offer to purchase, Optibase’s board of directors has not made any recommendation regarding acceptance or rejection of the offer or expressed an opinion regarding the advisability of the offer.

ARE THERE ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN THE OFFER?

Yes. Capri currently owns approximately 78.8% of the outstanding Optibase Shares and controls Optibase. Mr. Wyler owns approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Optibase Shares and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of its subsidiary, Optibase Inc. Mr. Rouven Schwarz serves as a member of both the board of directors of Optibase and the board of trustees of Capri, and Mr. Schwarz entered into a service agreement with Optibase under which Mr. Schwarz provides real estate related consulting services to Optibase, its subsidiaries and affiliates. Mr. Wyler is the father in law of Mr. Schwarz. These relationships may be deemed to create a conflict between the interest of each member of our bidder group to fulfill their duties to Optibase and its unaffiliated shareholders, on one hand, and their interest in consummating the offer on the best possible terms for Capri, on the other hand.

See Section 3 – “Purpose of the Offer; Effects the Offer; Plans for Optibase” and Section 4 – “Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer.”

IS THIS TENDER OFFER PART OF A GOING PRIVATE TRANSACTION?

Yes. However, we believe this offer is not a necessary part of a going private transaction because we believe, based on the number of record holders of Optibase Shares during recent periods, that Optibase currently is able to delist the Optibase Shares from Nasdaq and deregister the Optibase Shares under the Exchange Act. See Section 2 – “Position of Capri Regarding the Fairness of the Transaction.”

Capri currently is an affiliate of Optibase and, if the offer is consummated, the shares of Optibase will cease to be traded on Nasdaq and cease to be registered under the Exchange Act. Because of these features, our offer is part of a “going private” transaction as that term is used in SEC Rule 13e-3. In addition, if the offer is consummated, we will become a private company (within the meaning of Israeli law) and Optibase Shares will cease to trade on the TASE. See Section 6 – “Rule 13e-3.”

IS THIS TENDER OFFER FAIR TO THE HOLDERS OF OPTIBASE SHARES WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH OPTIBASE?

Each member of our bidder group believes that the offer, and the Offer Price to be received by holders of Optibase Shares who are unaffiliated with Optibase pursuant to the offer, are fair to such holders.

The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:
 

o
5.5% to the closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq on June 29, 2021, the last trading day prior to the date that we first announced our intention to make an offer for all of the outstanding Optibase Shares not owned by the bidder group; and
 

o
4.4% to the average closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq during the six months prior to commencement of the offer.
 
In our first tender offer to acquire all of the Optibase Shares, not already owned by the bidder group, which we commenced on December 1, 2021 at an offer price of $11.20 per share, holders tendered 689,926 Optibase Shares, which was the majority of the Optibase Shares that were not already held by our bidder group.  The minimum condition of our first offer was not satisfied and all tendered shares were returned. Nevertheless, by tendering in the first offer, the majority of the unaffiliated holders indicated that $11.20 was a fair price for their Optibase Shares. We are making this offer at a price of $11.60, or approximately 3.8% greater than in our first offer.
 
Our offer has procedural features that help ensure fairness to holders of Optibase Shares who are not affiliated with Optibase.

See Section 2 - “Position of Capri Regarding the Fairness of the Transaction” and Section 14 – “Price Range of Shares etc.”

WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER?

The receipt of cash for Optibase Shares accepted for payment by us from tendering shareholders who are “United States persons” for United States federal income tax purposes will be treated as a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes.

The receipt of cash for Optibase Shares accepted for payment by us from tendering shareholders generally will be a taxable transaction for Israeli income tax purposes for both Israeli residents and non-Israeli residents, unless a specific exemption is available or a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise.

We have obtained an approval from the Israel Tax Authority with respect to the Israeli withholding tax rates applicable to shareholders as a result of the sale of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer. The approval provides, among other things, that (1) shareholders who meet the following criteria will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax: (a) they acquired their Optibase Shares after its initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999; (b) they do not hold their Optibase Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution; (c) they hold less than 5% of Optibase Shares; (d) they certify that they are not, and at the date of purchase of their Optibase Shares were not Israeli residents (and, (i) in the case of a corporation, that no Israeli residents hold 25.0% or more of the means to control such corporation or are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such corporation, whether directly or indirectly, or (ii) in the case of a partnership, that no partner in the partnership is an Israeli resident and no Israeli resident holds, directly or indirectly via shares or through a trust or in any other manner or with another who is an Israeli resident, 25.0% or more of any right in the partnership or, of the right to direct the manner of exercising any of the rights in the partnership); provided that (A) with respect to shareholders who are individuals, they timely provide a copy of their passport; and (B) with respect to shareholders that shall receive an aggregate Offer Price that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, they timely submit a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of their country of residence, (2) payments to be made to tendering shareholders who hold their Optibase Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will be made by us without any Israeli withholding at source, and the relevant Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will withhold Israeli tax, if any, as required by Israeli law, and (3) shareholders who are not described in clauses (1) and (2) above will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the applicable rate of the gross proceeds payable to them pursuant to the offer, unless such shareholders obtain a tax withholding certificate from the Israel Tax Authority, all as prescribed by Israeli tax law.

We recommend that you seek professional advice from your own advisors concerning the tax consequences applicable to your particular situation. See Section 13 – “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax and Israeli Income Tax Consequences.”

WHAT ARE MY APPRAISAL RIGHTS?

Holders of Optibase Shares who do not tender their Optibase Shares in the offer will have appraisal rights in connection with our offer only if the Compulsory Acquisition occurs as a result of our offer.
 
Under Sections 337 and 338 of the Israeli Companies Law, if we complete our offer and acquire the remaining Optibase Shares through a Compulsory Acquisition, an Israeli court may, at the request of any shareholder who did not tender its shares in the offer, provided such request is submitted within six months of the completion of the offer, determine that the consideration paid for the Optibase Shares was less than the fair market value and decide that we should pay the fair market value, as determined by the court.  Any shareholder who tendered its shares in the offer shall not be entitled to appraisal rights.  See Section 3 – “Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Optibase.”

IF I DECIDE NOT TO TENDER, HOW WILL THE OFFER AFFECT MY SHARES?

If a sufficient number of Optibase Shares are validly tendered, and not withdrawn, in our offer, then we will acquire the remaining Optibase Shares through the Compulsory Acquisition.
 
See Section 3 - “Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Optibase.”

WITH WHOM MAY I TALK IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OFFER?

You can call D.F. King & Co., Inc., our Information Agent in the United States, at (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers) or Toll Free at (800) 829-6554, or FISCHER (FBC & Co.), our legal counsel in Israel, at their addresses and telephone numbers set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase.

INTRODUCTION
 
We, The Capri Family Foundation, a foundation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Capri”), hereby offer to purchase all of the outstanding ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.65 per share, of Optibase Ltd., or Optibase Shares, at a price of $11.60 per share, net to you (subject to withholding taxes, as applicable), in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”). The offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this offer to purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the other related documents delivered to you.

Optibase Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, or Nasdaq, and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, under the ticker symbol “OBAS”. Based on the Report on Form 6-K filed by Optibase on July 8, 2021, as of July 7, 2021, there was a total of 5,198,361 Optibase Shares outstanding. (Optibase beneficially owns 17,895 of its own shares, as treasury shares with no voting or equity rights, and these shares are deemed not outstanding and are disregarded throughout this offer to purchase.) As of the date of this offer to purchase, we beneficially own 4,097,201 Optibase Shares, representing approximately 78.8% of the outstanding Optibase Shares.

Mr. Shlomo (Tom) Wyler personally holds 159,218 Optibase Shares, or approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Optibase Shares, making him the next largest holder of Optibase Shares after Capri, and we consulted with him about the terms and conditions of our offer. Mr. Wyler, directly or through entities that he controlled, transferred to us a portion of the Optibase Share that we hold, and our beneficiaries, as a foundation, are the children and grandchildren of Mr. Wyler. Because of these connections, our offer may be deemed in part to be structured by or made on behalf of Mr. Wyler, and in this offer to purchase we refer to Mr. Wyler and ourselves collectively as our “bidder group.” For clarity, Mr. Wyler disclaims control of us or beneficial ownership of the Optibase Shares that we hold.
 
The offer is being conducted simultaneously in the United States and in Israel. The offer will expire at 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on March 17, 2022. We refer to this date, as it may be extended by us, as the “Expiration Date”. We will publicly announce in accordance with applicable law, and in any event issue a press release by 9:00 a.m., New York time, or 4:00 p.m., Israel time, on the U.S. business day following the Expiration Date, stating whether or not the conditions of the offer have been satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by us.
 
If you are a record owner of Optibase Shares and tender directly to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, the U.S. Depositary, or to Israel Brokerage & Investments - I.B.I. - Ltd., the Israeli Depositary (which we refer to together as the Depositaries), you generally will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions, service fees or commissions or, except as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, share transfer taxes with respect to the sale of your Optibase Shares in the offer. If you hold your Optibase Shares through a bank or broker, we recommend that you check whether they charge any service or other fees.
 
We will pay the fees and expenses of the Depositaries in connection with the offer. The Depositaries will act as agents for tendering shareholders for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payments to tendering shareholders whose Optibase Shares are accepted for payment. We will also pay the fees and expenses of D.F. King & Co., Inc., our Information Agent, and FISCHER (FBC & Co.), our Israeli legal counsel, who will both facilitate and answer questions concerning the offer during their respective normal business hours.
 
Certain conditions to the consummation of the offer are described in Section 19. We reserve the right (subject to applicable law and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC) to amend or, other than the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (c) of Section 19, waive any one or more of the terms and conditions of the offer. However, if any of these conditions is not satisfied, we may elect not to purchase, or may be prohibited from purchasing any Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer, according to applicable law. The offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing or the approval of the board of directors of Optibase.  See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date”,  Section 10 – “Sources and Amount of Funds” and Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”
 
If the conditions of our offer are satisfied and we consummate the offer, then by operation of the Israeli Companies Law, without further action by any person, we automatically thereby will acquire the Optibase Shares held by any persons who did not tender into the offer and will be obligated to pay the Offer Price to those holders. We refer to this possible result of the offer as the “Compulsory Acquisition.”   See Section 9 - “Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date” and Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”
 
Under applicable U.S. law, no later than ten U.S. business days from the date of this offer to purchase, Optibase is required to publish, send or give to you a statement disclosing that it either recommends acceptance or rejection of the offer, expresses no opinion and remains neutral toward the offer, or is unable to take a position with respect to the offer. Under Israeli law, Optibase’s board of directors is not required to express its opinion to the shareholders on the advisability of the offer, and it may refrain from expressing an opinion on the offer. As of the date of this offer to purchase Optibase’s board of directors has not made such a statement or expressed an opinion on the offer.
 
This offer to purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the other related documents delivered to you contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the offer.

SPECIAL FACTORS
 
1.
Background of the Offer; Contacts with Optibase
 
Optibase was incorporated and commenced operations in 1990. It listed its Optibase Shares on Nasdaq in 1999 and on the TASE in 2015.
 
Companies controlled by Mr. Wyler began to acquire Optibase Shares commencing in February 2001. As a result, Mr. Wyler became the controlling shareholder of Optibase for a period until September 2012. All of these Optibase Shares were transferred to us in December 2013, and since then we have acquired additional Optibase Shares from time to time, most recently in May 2019, when we acquired 300,917 Optibase Shares in a private transaction with an unrelated third party and in open market transactions. We currently hold 4,097,201 Optibase Shares.
 
On and around June 2, 2021, we requested and obtained from Optibase information about the number and location of the holders of Optibase Shares and we discussed with our counsel various possible methods available to us of causing the Optibase Shares to be partially or fully delisted and deregistered. Following these discussions we determined in principle to commence a tender offer for all of the Optibase Shares.
 
On June 30, 2021, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 8 to our Schedule 13D. In the amendment, we disclosed that we had taken preliminary steps to commence a tender offer for all of the Optibase Shares, at a price to be determined.
 
On or around July 7, 2021, the board of directors of Optibase appointed a special committee of its members, comprised exclusively of directors of Optibase who are not employees of Optibase or affiliated with the bidder group, to consider the fairness of an offer by us to holders of Optibase Shares who are not affiliated with Optibase (the “Special Committee”). The Special Committee has retained the law firm of Naschitz Brandes Amir, a leading law firm in Israel, as its unaffiliated representative, to act solely on its behalf.
 
On July 14, 2021, legal counsel to Capri initiated a discussion with legal counsel to the Optibase Special Committee regarding possible transaction features to help ensure fairness to the unaffiliated shareholders of Optibase and to enable the members of Optibase board to fulfill their duties to the unaffiliated shareholders of Optibase, and regarding disclosure of those transaction features.
 
On August 31, 2021 and September 20, 2021, representatives of our financial advisor, MNS Consulting, at their initiative, conducted conference calls with Mr. Amir Philips and Mr. Yakir Ben-Naim, respectively the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Optibase, for the purpose of better understanding the publicly available information concerning Optibase. Optibase furnished to MNS Consulting valuations performed by third parties regarding certain properties of Optibase (the “Property Valuations”).  We have filed with the SEC, as exhibits to our Schedule TO, copies of the Property Valuations.
 
On and around November 23, 2021, we requested and obtained from Optibase the names and addresses of the record holders of Optibase Shares for the purpose of enabling us to disseminate a tender offer for all of the Optibase Shares.
 
On November 24, 2021, we received from the Israel Tax Authority, or ITA, an approval with respect to the Israeli withholding tax rates applicable to sales of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer. On January 23, 2022, the ITA extended the approval for a period of three months.
 
On December 1, 2021, we commenced our first tender offer to acquire all of the Optibase Shares, not already owned by the bidder group, for $11.20, net to the seller in cash. The board of directors of Optibase expressed no opinion and remained neutral with respect to the offer. As of the expiration date, 689,926 Optibase Shares had been validly tendered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to our first offer, which was the majority of the Optibase Shares that were not already held by our bidder group. However, that number fell short of our minimum condition for the first offer by 9,099 shares, or approximately 1.3% of our minimum condition for the first offer of 699,025 shares, and all tendered shares were returned.
 
On January 10, 2022, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 9 to our Schedule 13D. In the amendment, we disclosed that we had taken preliminary steps to commence a second tender offer for all of the Optibase Shares, at a price to be determined.

On January 11, 2022 and January 18, 2022, Optibase filed with the SEC reports on Form 6-K in which Optibase stated that it intends to delist the Optibase Shares from the TASE, effective as of April 13, 2022, and that the last day for trading Optibase Shares on the TASE will be April 11, 2022.
 
Capri has entered into an agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) to indemnify each director and officer of Optibase and its subsidiaries serving in such capacity at the time of the completion of the offer (other than Mr. Shlomo (Tom) Wyler), up to $7,500,000 with respect to all indemnitees, from any liability or expense in connection with any act or omission performed in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Optibase prior to the completion of the offer. We have filed the Indemnification Agreement as an exhibit to the Schedule TO and Optibase shareholders may refer to it for the full terms and conditions of the Indemnification Agreement.

2.
Position of Capri Regarding the Fairness of the Transaction
 
The rules of the SEC require each member of the bidder group to express their belief to holders of Optibase Shares who are unaffiliated with Optibase as to the fairness of the transaction. We believe that the offer, and the Offer Price to be received by holders of Optibase Shares who are unaffiliated with Optibase pursuant to the offer, are fair to such holders.
 
Each member of our bidder group bases their belief on the following factors, each of which, in our judgment, supports our view as to the fairness of the transaction:
 

The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:
 

o
5.5% to the closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq on June 29, 2021, the last trading day prior to the date that we first announced our intention to make an offer for all of the outstanding Optibase Shares not owned by the bidder group; and
 

o
4.4% to the average closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq during the six months prior to commencement of the offer.
 

In our first tender offer to acquire all of the Optibase Shares, not already owned by the bidder group, which we commenced on December 1, 2021 at an offer price of $11.20 per share, holders tendered 689,926 Optibase Shares, which was the majority of the Optibase Shares that were not already held by our bidder group.  The minimum condition of our first offer was not satisfied and all tendered shares were returned. Nevertheless, by tendering in the first offer, the majority of the unaffiliated holders indicated that $11.20 was a fair price for their Optibase Shares. We are making this offer at a price of $11.60, or approximately 3.8% greater than in our first offer.
 

The relative lack of liquidity for the Optibase Shares and the liquidity that will be realized by the unaffiliated shareholders of Optibase from the offer were factors considered by us. The average daily trading volumes for the Optibase Shares, combining trading on Nasdaq and on the TASE, for the three month period prior to and including February 14, 2022, the last date on which the Optibase Shares traded in the U.S. prior to commencement of the offer, was approximately 4,090 Optibase Shares, which is a limited trading volume; therefore, the Optibase Shares have limited liquidity for the unaffiliated public holders and it may be difficult for the unaffiliated public holders to sell their Optibase Shares without adversely impacting the trading price.
 

Neither Capri nor any of its affiliates has received an offer for Optibase from a third party in the past two years. We considered the absence of any unsolicited third party buyer for Optibase to support the fairness of the offer to the unaffiliated stockholders of Optibase, because the absence of such a third party buyer demonstrates that the offer is the only likely source of prompt liquidity for the Optibase Shares available to all of the unaffiliated holders of Optibase Shares.
 

The offer is not subject to any financing condition.
 

The offer provides holders of Optibase Shares with the certainty of receiving cash for their Optibase Shares and removes the risk of any decrease in the value of Optibase.
 
In addition, we believe that the offer is procedurally fair to holders of Optibase Shares who are unaffiliated with Optibase, based on the following factors:
 

Each of such holders will be able to decide voluntarily whether or not to tender Optibase Shares in the offer.
 

The minimum condition of the offer will be satisfied only if either (i) 682,024 or more Optibase Shares shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and the majority of those Optibase Shares shall have been tendered by offerees who do not have a “personal interest,” within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law, in the offer or (ii) 837,975 or more Optibase Shares shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn. See Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”  In either case, the majority of the Optibase Shares that are not already held by our bidder group will have been tendered in the offer.
 
10


Holders of Optibase Shares will have sufficient time to make a decision whether or not to tender since the offer will remain open for a minimum of 20 business days.
 

If the offer is consummated, shareholders who did not tender shares in the offer may perfect their statutory rights of appraisal, by following the appraisal procedures under the Israeli Companies Law, in which case the Israeli court may determine that the consideration paid for the Optibase Shares was less than “fair value” and that such shareholders are entitled to receive the “fair value” of their Optibase Shares, as determined by the court.
 
Each member of our bidder group also considered the following factors, each of which we considered negative in our considerations concerning the fairness of the terms of our offer:


The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is less than recent trading prices for the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq and on the TASE. On February 14, 2022, the last U.S. trading day before we commenced the offer, the last price per Optibase Share reported on Nasdaq was $11.75 and on the TASE was NIS 41.00. The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is less than those most recent trading prices and less than the closing price of the Optibase Shares on Nasdaq on every U.S. trading day since January 5, 2022.

The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is $1.04, or approximately 8.2%, less than the fair market value of the Optibase Shares as estimated by MNS Consulting, the financial advisor to Capri.


Any holder that tenders all its Optibase Shares in the offer or whose Optibase Shares are acquired in the Compulsory Acquisition would cease to participate in the future earnings or growth, if any, of Optibase or benefit from increases, if any, in the value of Optibase.
 

The sale of Optibase Shares in the offer is generally taxable to the selling security holders.
 

Our bidder group currently owns approximately 81.9% of the outstanding Optibase Shares, and this ownership position may preclude competing offers from third parties.
 

Certain directors and officers of Optibase have actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with our offer. See Section 4—“Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer” and Schedule A.
 

The board of directors of Optibase has formed the Special Committee and the Special Committee has engaged separate legal counsel. However, the offer is not conditioned on the approval of the Special Committee and we have not negotiated the terms of the offer with the Special Committee or with any other person representing the interests of the holders of Optibase Shares who are not affiliated with Optibase.
 
The members of our bidder group did not find it practicable to assign, nor did they assign, relative weights to the individual factors considered in reaching their conclusion as to fairness. Capri’s financial advisor, MNS Consulting, was not asked to and has not delivered a valuation to the board of directors of Optibase in connection with the offer.
 
In reaching their conclusion as to fairness, the members of our bidder group considered Optibase as a viable going concern and estimated the value of Optibase as a going concern. The members of our bidder group did not consider the liquidation value or net book value of Optibase. The liquidation value was not considered because Optibase is a viable going concern and the bidder group has no plans to liquidate Optibase. Therefore, each member of our bidder group believes that the liquidation value of Optibase is irrelevant to a determination as to whether the offer is fair to unaffiliated holders. Further, the members of our bidder group did not consider net book value, which is an accounting concept, as a factor because we believe that net book value is not a material indicator of the value of Optibase as a going concern but rather is indicative of historical costs.
 
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered and given weight by the members of our bidder group is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the factors that each member of our bidder group believes to be material. The statements of our bidder group as to the fairness of the transaction to holders of Optibase Shares that are unaffiliated with Optibase should not be construed as a recommendation to any holder as to whether that holder should tender in the offer.

3.
Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Optibase
 
Purpose of the Offer. The purpose of our offer is for Capri to acquire the entire equity interest in Optibase. Holders who sell their Optibase Shares in the offer will cease to have any equity interest in Optibase or any right to participate in its earnings and future growth.
 
In determining whether to acquire the outstanding public minority equity interest in Optibase and to make the offer, we considered the following factors to be the principal benefits of taking Optibase private:
 

the decrease in costs, particularly those associated with being a public company (for example, as a privately-held entity, Optibase would no longer be required to file annual or other periodic reports with the Commission or publish and distribute to its shareholders annual reports and proxy statements), that we anticipate could result in substantial annual savings of audit, legal, insurance and other costs; and
 

the elimination of burdens on Optibase’s management associated with public reporting and other tasks resulting from Optibase’s public company status, including, for example, the dedication of time by, and resources of, Optibase’s management to shareholder inquiries and investor and public relations.
 
We also considered the other advantages of Optibase being a public reporting company, including the possibility for use of Optibase’s securities to raise capital or make acquisitions.
 
The members of our bidder group believe that the offer is preferable to a one-step merger because they believe that this structure can provide a faster and more efficient process for completing the transaction than structures which require calling a special meeting of holders of Optibase Shares.
 
Effects of the Offer. The total shareholders’ equity, or net book value, of Optibase was $83.7 million as of September 30, 2021.  The net income, or net earnings, of Optibase was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. If the offer is consummated, the interest of Capri in Optibase’s net book value and net earnings would increase to 100%, and Capri would be entitled to all benefits resulting from that interest, including all income generated by Optibase’s operations and any future increase in Optibase’s value. Former shareholders would thereafter have no opportunity to participate in the earnings and growth of Optibase and would not have any right to vote on corporate matters. Similarly, following consummation of the offer, Capri would also bear the entire risk of losses generated by Optibase’s operations and any decrease in the value of Optibase, and former shareholders would not face the risk of losses generated by Optibase’s operations or decline in the value of Optibase. In particular, former shareholders would not participate in any future earnings that may or may not occur if and when the COVID-19 pandemic ends and real estate markets recover from the adverse effects of the pandemic, and would not face the risk of losses should the pandemic instead continue or worsen.
 
According to Optibase’s Annual Report on 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Optibase 20-F”), as of December 31, 2020, Optibase had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $72 million for Israeli tax purposes and approximately $57 million for U.S. tax purposes. Such net operating losses may be available to offset taxable income (if any) generated by Optibase or Capri’s consolidated tax group (which may include Optibase after the closing), and thereby reduce the amount of taxes owed by Capri and its subsidiaries. The timing and amount of the tax savings will depend on a number of factors, including the overall amount of Optibase’s net operating losses through the closing (which has yet to be calculated), whether Optibase or Capri generates taxable income after the closing (and when and in what amount) and the tax rates in effect at the time net operating losses are utilized.
 
If the offer is consummated, then by operation of the Israeli Companies Law, without further action by any person, Capri thereby will become the sole equity owner of Optibase and will become obligated to pay the Offer Price to the former public shareholders who did not tender into the offer. There will be no shareholder vote regarding the Compulsory Acquisition.

Plans for Optibase. Capri is conducting a detailed review of Optibase and its assets, corporate structure, capitalization, operations, properties, policies, management and personnel, and will consider which changes would be desirable in light of the circumstances that exist upon completion of the offer. Capri will continue to evaluate the business and operations of Optibase during the pendency of the offer and after the consummation of the offer and will take such actions as they deem appropriate under the circumstances then existing. Thereafter, Capri intends to review such information as part of a comprehensive review of Optibase’s business, operations, capitalization and management with a view to optimizing development of Optibase’s potential in conjunction with Optibase’s existing businesses. If the offer is consummated Capri intends to reduce the size and change the structure of the Optibase board, in a manner to be determined. Possible other changes could include changes in Optibase’s business, corporate structure, memorandum of association, articles of association, capitalization, and management. Plans may change based on further analysis and Capri and, after completion of the offer, the Optibase board may change their plans and intentions at any time, as deemed appropriate
 
12

We expect that from time to time there may be significant developments or transactions involving Optibase or its securities, or offers, proposals or discussions related thereto, which may involve acquisitions or sales by us of our holdings in Optibase or acquisitions or sales of securities, assets or business operations by Optibase.
 
We intend to review our investment in Optibase, its performance and market conditions periodically and consider possible strategies for enhancing value and take such actions with respect to our investment as we deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions could include, among other things, additional purchases of Optibase Shares pursuant to one or more open-market purchase programs, through private transactions or through tender offers or otherwise, subject to applicable U.S. and Israeli law. Future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Optibase’s shareholders than the terms of the offer. Any possible future purchases will depend on many factors, including the results of the offer, the market price of Optibase Shares, our business and financial position, and general economic and market conditions. In addition, following the consummation of the offer, we may also determine to dispose of our Optibase Shares, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, subject to applicable laws. Any such decision would be based on our assessment of a number of different factors, including, without limitation, the business, prospects and affairs of Optibase, the market for the Optibase Shares, the condition of the securities markets, general economic and industry conditions and other opportunities available to us.

Except as otherwise described below or elsewhere in this offer to purchase, none of the members of our bidder group, and to the best of our knowledge none of the other persons listed in Schedule I to this offer to purchase, has any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in the following:


an extraordinary corporate transaction, merger, reorganization or liquidation involving Optibase or any of its subsidiaries;
 

a purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of Optibase or any of its subsidiaries;
 

any change in the present board of directors and management of Optibase (including any plan or proposal to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancy on the board or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer);
 

any other material change in Optibase’s corporate structure or business;
 

a delisting of the Optibase Shares from Nasdaq or TASE;
 

the Optibase Shares becoming eligible for termination of registration under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act; or
 

influencing Optibase to pay dividends on the Optibase Shares, provided that if we consummate the offer and thereby become the sole holder of Optibase Shares, we may from time to time cause Optibase to pay dividends to us as required for our internal intercompany purposes.
 
Appraisal Rights. Holders of Optibase Shares who do not tender their Optibase Shares in the offer will have appraisal rights in connection with our offer. Under Section 338 of the Israeli Companies Law, if we complete our offer, an Israeli court may, at the request of any shareholder who did not tender its shares in the offer, provided such request is submitted within six months of the completion of the offer, determine that the consideration paid for the Optibase Shares was less than the fair market value and decide that we should pay the fair market value, as determined by the court. Capri disclaims the conclusion of MNS Consulting, as set out in its updated evaluation, that the fair value of each Optibase Share is $12.64.
 
Any shareholder who tendered its shares in the offer shall not be entitled to appraisal rights.
 
4.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Offer
 
Financial Interests. The financial interests of Capri with regard to the Offer Price are generally adverse to the financial interests of the holders being asked to tender their Optibase Shares because Capri has an interest in acquiring the Optibase Shares as inexpensively as possible and the holders being asked to tender their Optibase Shares have an interest in selling their Optibase Shares for the highest possible price.
 
13

Conflicts of Interest. In considering the fairness of the consideration to be received in the offer, shareholders should be aware that each member of our bidder group has actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the offer. As a result of Capri’s current ownership of approximately 78.8% of the outstanding Optibase Shares, Capri controls Optibase. Mr. Wyler owns approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Optibase Shares and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of its subsidiary, Optibase Inc. Mr. Rouven Schwarz serves as a member of both the board of directors of Optibase and the board of trustees of Capri, and Mr. Schwarz entered into a service agreement with Optibase under which Mr. Schwarz provides real estate related consulting services to Optibase, its subsidiaries and affiliates. Mr. Wyler is the father in law of Mr. Schwarz. These relationships may be deemed to create a conflict between the interest of each member of our bidder group to fulfill their duties to Optibase and its unaffiliated shareholders, on one hand, and their interest in consummating the offer on the best possible terms for Capri, on the other hand.

Intent of, and Recommendations By, Directors and Executive Officers of Optibase With Regard to our offer. Mr. Wyler is a member of our bidder group and will not tender Optibase Shares in our offer. Mr. Schwarz holds no Optibase Shares.

Except as disclosed in this offer to purchase, after reasonable inquiry, we do not know whether or not any director or executive officer of Optibase will tender in our offer any Optibase Shares held personally by them and we are not aware that any of them has made a recommendation to any other person in support of, or opposed to, our offer.
 
5.
Related Party Transactions.
 
Except as set forth in this offer to purchase, none of the members of our bidder group, nor any of the other persons listed in Schedule I to this offer to purchase, have had any transaction during the past two years with Optibase or any of its executive officers, directors or affiliates that is required to be described in this offer to purchase under applicable law. Except as set forth in this offer to purchase, there have been no negotiations, transactions or material contacts during the past two years between any of the members of our bidder group, or any of the other persons listed in Schedule I to this offer to purchase, on the one hand, and Optibase and its affiliates, on the other hand, concerning a merger, consolidation or acquisition, tender offer, exchange offer or other acquisitions of Optibase’s securities, an election of Optibase’s directors or a sale or other transfer of a material amount of the assets of Optibase.
 
6.
Rule 13e-3
 
Capri currently owns approximately 78.8% of all the outstanding Optibase Shares. Mr. Wyler owns approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Optibase Shares and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of its subsidiary, Optibase Inc. Because the members of our bidder group are affiliates of Optibase, our offer will constitute a “going private” transaction under Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Rule 13e-3 requires, among other things, that certain financial information concerning Optibase and certain information relating to the fairness of the offer be filed with the SEC and disclosed to minority shareholders prior to consummation of the offer. Capri has provided such information in this offer to purchase and a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and the exhibits thereto filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act.
 
For a description of certain contacts between Optibase and Capri and its affiliates that were related to the offer, please see “Section 1—Background of the Offer; Contacts with Optibase.” Further, please see “Section 3— Purpose of the Offer; Effects of the Offer; Plans for Optibase” for a description of (i) the purpose the offer, (ii) our plans for Optibase and  (iii) the availability of appraisal rights to shareholders who do not tender shares in the offer in connection with the offer.
 
7.
Conduct of Optibase’s Business if the Offer is not Consummated.
 
If the offer is not consummated, Capri will re-evaluate its options with respect to Optibase. In particular, we may, among other things:
 

not take any action at that time, including not purchasing any additional Optibase Shares; and/or
 

make a new tender offer.
 
If we were to pursue any of these alternatives, it might take considerably longer for the public shareholders of Optibase to receive any consideration for their Optibase Shares (other than through sales in the open market) than if they had tendered their Optibase Shares, and the conditions of the offer were satisfied. No assurance can be given that any of such alternatives will be pursued or as to the price per Optibase Share that may be paid in any such future acquisition of Optibase Shares or the effect any such actions could have on the trading prices of Optibase Shares.

8.
Evaluations and Financial Analysis of Capri’s Financial Advisor.
 
In connection with our first offer, which expired by its terms on December 30, 2021, Capri selected and engaged as our financial advisor MNS Consulting Ltd. (“MNS Consulting”). Capri selected MNS Consulting based on a recommendation by FISCHER (FBC & Co.), its Israeli legal counsel, and on its general reputation as a leading financial advisory, investment-banking and strategy advisory firm in Israel. For additional information about MNS Consulting, Optibase shareholders may visit its website, en.mns-consulting.co.il. However, information contained on the website of MNS does not constitute a part of this offer to purchase.
 
For its services in connection with this offer, Capri agreed to pay to MNS Consulting NIS 46,800, or approximately $14,700. Other than as described in this Offer to Purchase, no material relationship has existed during the past two years, or is mutually understood to be contemplated, between MNS Consulting on one hand and Optibase, Capri and their affiliates, on the other hand.
 
Initial Evaluation
 
In connection with our first offer, Capri delivered to us its opinion, or initial evaluation, dated November 30, 2021, that the offer price, which was $11.20 in our first offer, was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Optibase Shares who are not affiliates of Optibase, together with a financial analysis performed by MNS Consulting in support of its initial evaluation.
 
In connection with the initial evaluation, MNS Consulting held discussions with certain members of the management of Capri regarding their assessment of the strategic and financial rationale for, and the potential benefits of, the offer and the past and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of Optibase, and MNS Consulting considered such other factors, as it deemed appropriate. See “Section 1 – Background of the Offer; Contacts with Optibase.”
 
Updated Evaluation
 
In connection with this offer, MNS Consulting considered developments that were subsequent to our first offer, in particular:

MNS Consulting considered the financial statements and reports of Optibase as of September 30, 2021, which Optibase filed with the SEC on November 30, 2021 on Form 6-K.

Optibase furnished to MNS Consulting updated Property Valuations for its CTN property and its Rümlang property.

Optibase recently has sold additional units comprising its Miami property, and the prices of those recent sales imply that the fair value of the property recently has increased.

On February 14, 2022, MNS Consulting delivered to us an updated evaluation of Optibase. The updated evaluation is attached to this Offer to Purchase as Annex A and we have filed with the SEC, as exhibits to our Schedule TO, copies of the initial evaluation, financial analysis of MNS Consulting and the Property Valuations. The initial evaluation, financial analysis, updated evaluation and Property Valuations will be made available for inspection and copying at Capri’s principal executive offices during its regular business hours by any interested holder of Optibase Shares or its representative who has been so designated in writing.
 
The initial evaluation and the updated evaluation, which we refer to collectively as the “evaluations,” are subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other conditions contained therein and necessarily are based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as of, and the information made available to MNS. The evaluations do not constitute a recommendation to any holder of Optibase Shares as to the offer or any other matter.
 
For purposes of the evaluations, with Capri’s consent, MNS Consulting relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by, it, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification thereof. MNS Consulting did not make an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or other off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities) of Optibase. MNS Consulting assumed that our offer would be consummated on the terms set forth in this offer to purchase, without the waiver or modification of any term or condition the effect of which would be in any way meaningful to their analysis of Optibase.
 
Summary of Financial Analysis
 
In connection with the evaluations MNS Consulting performed a variety of financial analyses. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by MNS Consulting. The financial analyses undertaken by MNS Consulting have been with respect to a proposed purchase of a minority interest. The transaction premium in a “change of control” transaction might be significantly different.

MNS Consulting determined the fair value of Optibase by determining its net asset value. MNS Consulting determined the net asset value of Optibase by using the discounted cash flow method.

15

The principal assets of Optibase consist of three real estate properties in which Optibase is the sole or majority owner:


Optibase owns 51% of an office building complex in the outskirts of Geneva, Switzerland known as Centre des Technologies Nouvelles, or CTN complex. The CTN complex includes approximately 34,800 square meters of leasable space and, as of December 31, 2020 , it was 92% occupied and generating $12.4 million of annualized rent.


Optibase is the sole owner of a commercial building in Rümlang, Switzerland, approximately 15 kilometers from Zurich. The Rümlang property has 12,500 square meters of rentable space with office, laboratory and retail uses and, as of December 31, 2020, it was 88% occupied and generating $2.0 million of annualized rent.


Optibase is the sole owner of 22 residential condominium units in Miami, Florida (net of two units which Optibase recently sold). As of December 31, 2020, the Miami units were 54% occupied and generating $0.6 million of annualized rent.

For these three properties, MNS Consulting relied on the Property Valuations, each of which is briefly summarized below:

The Property Valuation for the CTN Complex, dated December 31, 2021, was prepared for Optibase by Wuest Partner AG using a discounted cash flow method. Wuest Partners determined the current market value of the CTN Complex as the total of all projected future net income (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) discounted to present-day equivalents, with allowances for opportunities, market conditions and risks. Using this method, Wuest Partner estimated that the present value of projected net income of the CTN Complex, and thus the value of the CTN Complex, in which Optibase holds a 51% interest, was 141.4 million Swiss francs ($152.7 million).

The Property Valuation for the Rümlang property, dated February 1, 2022, also was prepared for Optibase by Wuest Partner using the same discounted cash flow method as for the CTN Complex. Using this method, Wuest Partner estimated that the present value of projected net income of the Rümlang property, and thus the value of the Rümlang property, was 23.0 million Swiss francs ($24.8 million).

The Property Valuation for the Miami condominium units consists of one appraisal report, prepared for Optibase by Florida House Appraisals, for each of the 24 units (of which two were sold 2021 subsequent to the date of the reports), using a sales comparison method. For each unit, Florida House Appraisal identified and summarized three recent sales of a comparable unit. Using this method, Florida House Appraisals estimated that the total value of the 24 units was $31.3 million.

Optibase also is the minority holder in three additional real estate properties in Illinois, Pennsylvania and Texas:


Optibase owns 30% of a commercial building in Chicago, Illinois. MNS Consulting estimated the fair value of this stake by applying a discount rate of 6% to 2020 net operating income. The resulting asset value of the property was significantly less than liabilities on the property.  MNS Consulting therefore estimated the net value of the property as zero.


Optibase owns a 22% stake in Two Penn Center Plaza, a commercial building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The principal lender on the property, Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2021-C59, included a valuation for this property in a free writing prospectus that it filed with the SEC on April 14, 2021 (Registration file number 333-226486-19). Based on this valuation, MNS Consulting estimated that the net value of Optibase’s holding in the property is approximately $14.1 million.


Optibase owns a 4% stake in Texas Shopping Centers, a portfolio of shopping centers in and around Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, Texas. Optibase furnished to MNS Consulting the financial statements of Texas Shopping Centers, which state the fair value of the portfolio, of which $5.7 million is attributed to Optibase.

Optibase has deferred tax liabilities (which it generally must pay) and loss carry-forwards (which may reduce its tax liabilities). MNS Consulting considered these deferred taxes and loss carry-forwards as part of its evaluations of Optibase.

MNS Consulting also determined, as a liability, the terminal value of the general and administrative expenses of Optibase by applying a discount rate of 4.5% to expenses recorded in 2020 and the first six months of 2021. MNS Consulting estimated the fair value of this liability, net of the associated tax benefit, as $48.2 million, and subtracted this amount as part of its evaluations of Optibase.

16

MNS Consulting considered the market capitalization of Optibase at various dates during 2021 and 2022 to date and concluded that the market capitalization of Optibase over the duration of this period as a whole was consistent with the net asset value of Optibase as calculated by MNS Consulting.

Based on the foregoing, in its updated evaluation, MNS Consulting estimated that the fair value of each Optibase Share is $12.64. The Offer Price, $11.60 per Optibase Share, is $1.04, or approximately 8.2%, less than the fair market value per Optibase Share as estimated by MNS Consulting in its updated evaluation. Capri disclaims the conclusion of MNS Consulting, as set out in its updated evaluation, that the fair value of each Optibase Share is $12.64.

Each member of our bidder group considered the updated evaluation of MNS Consulting to be a factor that, although negative, did not change the conclusion of each member of our bidder group that the transaction is fair to the unaffiliated shareholders of Optibase.

THE TENDER OFFER
 
YOU SHOULD READ THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND THE OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO YOU CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER.
 
9.
Terms of the Offer; Expiration Date.
 
The offer is being made to all of Optibase’s shareholders. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer (including any terms and conditions of any extension or amendment), we will accept for payment and pay for Optibase Shares, that are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 12 prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on March 17, 2022, unless we extend the period of time during which the offer is open. We refer to this date, as may be extended (as described below), as the Expiration Date.
 
We are offering to purchase all of the outstanding Optibase Shares not owned by the bidder group.
 
Our offer is subject to a minimum condition. See Section 19 – “Conditions of the Offer.”
 
If the minimum condition is satisfied and we purchase all tendered shares, then by operation of the Israeli Companies Law, without further action by any person, we automatically thereby will acquire the Optibase Shares held by any persons who did not tender into the offer and will be obligated to pay the Offer Price to those holders. We refer to this possible result of the offer as the “Compulsory Acquisition.”
 
The offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in Section 19. If any of these conditions is not satisfied, we may elect not to purchase, or may be prohibited from purchasing, any Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer. We will not waive the minimum condition. The offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing or the approval of the board of directors of Optibase. See Section 19, which sets forth in full the conditions of the offer and specifies those conditions of the offer that are waivable by us.
 
We will publicly announce in accordance with applicable law and in any event issue a press release by 9:00 a.m., New York time, or 4:00 p.m., Israel time, on the U.S. business day following the then-scheduled Expiration Date, stating whether the conditions of the offer have been satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by us. Promptly following the Expiration Date, we will announce the results of the offer. We will pay for all Optibase Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the offer promptly following the Expiration Date.  We expect to make such payment within four U.S. business days following the Expiration Date.
 
Under Israeli law, once we announce, following the Expiration Date, that the offer has been accepted, or, in other words, that all the conditions of the offer have been satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by us, no further conditions of the offer would apply and we will become irrevocably bound to purchase the Optibase Shares validly tendered pursuant to the offer and not properly withdrawn prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date.
 
Subject to applicable laws and regulations, if any condition has not been satisfied prior to the then-scheduled Expiration Date, we may decide to:
 
 
extend the Expiration Date and, subject to applicable withdrawal rights, retain all tendered Optibase Shares;
 
if the only conditions that have not been satisfied are one or more of the conditions set forth in clause (b) of Section 19, waive such condition(s) and accept for payment and pay for all Optibase Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date; or
 
terminate the offer and not accept for payment or pay for any Optibase Shares and promptly return all tendered Optibase Shares.
Under Israeli law, however, the offer may not remain open for more than 60 days following the date of this offer to purchase, except that if a third party commences a tender offer for Optibase Shares prior to the Expiration Date, we will be permitted to extend the offer period so that the Expiration Date will correspond with the expiration date of the third party’s tender offer. We will not, however, provide for a subsequent offering period as permitted pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.
 
18

If we decide to extend the Expiration Date, we will inform the Depositaries, the Information Agent and our Israeli legal counsel of that fact. We will also publicly announce the new Expiration Date in accordance with applicable law, and in any event we will issue a press release no later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, or 4:00 p.m., Israel time, on the first U.S. business day following the day on which we decide to extend the Expiration Date.  In addition, in accordance with Israeli law, we will file an immediate report with the ISA no later than one Israeli business day prior to the previously scheduled Expiration Date and, within one Israeli business day thereafter, publish the notice in two daily newspapers having a mass circulation and published in Israel in Hebrew.
 
Under Israeli law, however, we will not be permitted to extend the Expiration Date, unless either (1) the Israeli Depositary, which guarantees our obligation to pay for the Optibase Shares, confirms that, under the new circumstances, it will maintain such guarantee or (2) such a guarantee is obtained by us from another TASE member.
 
If we make a material change in the terms of the offer (as may be permitted under applicable law) or in the information concerning the offer, or if we waive a material condition to the offer (if permitted pursuant to applicable law, including the Exchange Act, the rules of the SEC and the Israeli Securities Law), we will extend the Expiration Date to the extent required by applicable law, including the Exchange Act, the rules of the SEC and the Israeli Securities Law.
 
This offer to purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the other related documents to be furnished will be mailed to the record holders of Optibase Shares whose names appear as of the date of this offer to purchase on Optibase’s shareholder list. They will also be furnished to brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and similar persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear as of the date of this offer to purchase on the shareholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as of the date of this offer to purchase as participants in a clearing agency’s security position listing, for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Optibase Shares.
 
10.
Acceptance for Payment and Payment.
 
General.  According to Israeli law, to secure the payment for the Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer, the Israeli Depositary, which is a TASE member, has agreed to guarantee our obligation to pay for the Optibase Shares tendered and accepted by us for payment pursuant to the offer. To secure this guarantee, we have engaged the Israeli Depositary to act as an escrow agent and have deposited cash into an escrow account in an amount sufficient to pay for the maximum number of Optibase Shares that we are offering to purchase in the offer.
 
Promptly following the Expiration Date and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer we will accept for payment and, subject to any applicable withholding tax duties, pay from the funds deposited into escrow, for all Optibase Shares validly tendered prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 12.  We expect to make such payment within four U.S. business days following the Expiration Date.  See Section 9.
 
In all cases, we will pay for Optibase Shares validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer only after timely receipt by the Depositaries of the required documents to substantiate a valid tender, as set forth in Section 11.
 
For purposes of the offer, we will be deemed to have purchased Optibase Shares that have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn if and when we give oral or written notice to the Depositaries of our acceptance for payment of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer, payment for the Optibase Shares will be made by the Depositaries.
 
Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the purchase price to be paid, regardless of any extension of the offer or any delay in making payment.
 
If, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the offer, we do not accept tendered Optibase Shares for payment for any reason or if certificates are submitted representing more Optibase Shares than are tendered, certificates evidencing unpurchased Optibase Shares will be returned to the tendering shareholder (or, in the case of Optibase Shares tendered by book-entry transfer pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 11, the Optibase Shares will be credited to the relevant account), promptly following the expiration, termination or withdrawal of the offer.
 
Form of Payment. All shareholders tendering their Optibase Shares to the U.S. Depositary will be paid in U.S. dollars, and all shareholders tendering their Optibase Shares to the Israeli Depositary will be paid in NIS based on the NIS/U.S. dollar exchange rate on the Expiration Date.

Withholding Tax. Please note that under the “Backup Withholding” provisions of U.S. federal income tax law, the U.S. Depositary may be required to withhold tax, at applicable rates (currently 24.0%), on amounts received by a tendering shareholder or other payee pursuant to the offer. To prevent such withholding from the purchase price received for Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer to the U.S. Depositary, each tendering shareholder who does not otherwise establish an exemption from such withholding, must properly complete the Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal. See Section 13 - “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax and Israeli Income Tax Consequences.”
 
Also, under the “withholding tax” provisions of Israeli income tax law, the gross proceeds payable to a shareholder in the offer generally will be subject to Israeli withholding tax. However, based on an approval that we received from the Israel Tax Authority, or ITA:
 
(1)          shareholders who meet the following criteria will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax (a) they acquired their Optibase Shares after Optibase’s initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999; (b) they do not hold their Optibase Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution; (c) they hold less than 5% of Optibase Shares; (d) they certify that they are not, and at the date of purchase of their Optibase Shares were not Israeli residents (and, (i) in the case of a corporation, that no Israeli resident(s) holds 25.0% or more of the means of control of such corporation or are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such corporation, whether directly or indirectly, or (ii) in the case of a partnership, that no partner in the partnership is an Israeli resident and no Israeli resident holds, directly or indirectly via shares or through a trust or in any other manner or with another who is an Israeli resident, 25.0% or more of any right in the partnership or, of the right to direct the manner of exercising any of the rights in the partnership); provided that (A) with respect to shareholders who are individuals, they timely provide a copy of their passport; and (B) with respect to shareholders that shall receive an aggregate Offer Price that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, they timely submit a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of their country of residence;
 
(2)          payments to shareholders who hold their Optibase Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will be made by us without any Israeli withholding at source, and the relevant Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will withhold Israeli tax, if any, as required by Israeli law; and
 
(3)          shareholders who are not described in clauses (1) and (2) above will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the applicable rate of the gross proceeds payable to them pursuant to the offer, as prescribed by Israeli tax law.
 
See Section 13 and the Letter of Transmittal for instructions on how to prevent us from withholding Israeli income tax from the gross proceeds payable to you (if any) pursuant to the offer.
 
11.
Procedures for Tendering Shares.
 
Overview
 
Shareholders who hold their Optibase Shares through a TASE member, and who wish to tender their Optibase Shares, should do so through the Israeli Depositary. We refer to these shareholders below as Unlisted Holders. See “Tenders to Israel Brokerage & Investments - I.B.I. - Ltd., our Israeli Depositary” below for instructions.
 
All other holders of Optibase Shares should tender their Optibase Shares to the U.S. Depositary pursuant to the instructions described under the caption “Tenders to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, our U.S. Depositary” below.
 
You may only tender your Optibase Shares by following the procedures described in this Section 11.
 
Tenders to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, our U.S. Depositary
 
Eligibility; Who May Tender to the U.S. Depositary. Shareholders who are not Unlisted Holders should tender their Optibase Shares to the U.S. Depositary.
 
Valid Tender. In order for you to validly tender Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer, (i) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees, or in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the U.S. Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date, as applicable and certificates evidencing tendered Optibase Shares must be received by the U.S. Depositary at its address or the shares must be delivered to the U.S. Depositary (including an Agent’s Message if you did not deliver a Letter of Transmittal), in each case prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date, as applicable, or (ii) the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below.
 
20

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, to, and received by, the U.S. Depositary and forming part of the Book-Entry Confirmation that states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from the participant in DTC tendering the Optibase Shares that are the subject of the Book-Entry Confirmation, that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and makes the declarations and elections set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce the Letter of Transmittal against that participant.
 
If certificates evidencing tendered Optibase Shares are forwarded to the U.S. Depositary in multiple deliveries, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each delivery. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Optibase Shares will be purchased.
 
The method of delivery of share certificates and all other required documents, including through DTC, is at your option and risk, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
 
Book-Entry Transfer. The U.S. Depositary will establish an account with respect to the Optibase Shares at DTC for purposes of the offer within two U.S. business days after the date of this offer to purchase. Any financial institution that is a participant in the system of DTC may make book-entry delivery of Optibase Shares by causing DTC to transfer such Optibase Shares into the U.S. Depositary’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures. However, although delivery of Optibase Shares may be effected through book-entry transfer into the U.S. Depositary’s account at DTC, the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message, and any other required documents must, in any case, be transmitted to, and received by, the U.S. Depositary at its address set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date. Delivery of the documents to DTC or any other party does not constitute delivery to the Depositary.
 
Signature Guarantees. Signatures on all Letters of Transmittal must be guaranteed by a firm that is a member of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, or by any other “eligible guarantor institution,” as that term is defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, except in cases where Optibase Shares are tendered:
 

by a registered holder of Optibase Shares who has not completed either the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” on the Letter of Transmittal; or
 

for the account of an eligible guarantor institution.
 
If a share certificate is registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made, or a share certificate not accepted for payment or not tendered is to be returned, to a person other than the registered holder(s), then the tendered certificate must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the certificate, with the signature(s) on the certificate or stock powers guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution. See Instruction 1 and Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal.
 
Guaranteed Delivery. A shareholder who desires to tender Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer and whose certificates for Optibase Shares are not immediately available and cannot be delivered to the U.S. Depository prior to the expiration of the offer, or who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer prior to the expiration of the offer, or who cannot deliver all required documents to the U.S. Depository prior to the expiration of the offer, may tender such Optibase Shares by satisfying all of the requirements set forth below:
 

such tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;
 

a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by Purchaser, is received by the U.S. Depository (as provided below) prior to the Expiration Date; and
 

the certificates for all tendered Optibase Shares, in proper form for transfer (or a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to all such Optibase Shares), together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message in lieu of the Letter of Transmittal), and any other required documents, are received by the U.S. Depository within 2 trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. A “trading day” is any day on which Nasdaq is open for business.
 
21

The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by overnight courier to the U.S. Depository or mailed to the U.S. Depository and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Optibase Shares tendered by a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will not be deemed validly tendered unless and until Optibase Shares underlying such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are delivered to the U.S. Depository prior to the expiration of the offer.
 
Condition to Payment. In all cases, payment for Optibase Shares tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of the certificate(s) evidencing Optibase Shares, or a timely Book-Entry Confirmation for the delivery of Optibase Shares, the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
 
The valid tender of Optibase Shares pursuant to the applicable procedure described above will constitute a binding agreement between you and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer.
 
Appointment. By executing the Letter of Transmittal as set forth above (including delivery by way of an Agent’s Message), you irrevocably appoint our designees as your agents, attorneys-in-fact and proxies in the manner set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of your rights with respect to the Optibase Shares you tendered. These powers of attorney and proxies will be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered Optibase Shares. The appointment will be effective if, as and when, and only to the extent that, we accept your Optibase Shares for payment. Upon our acceptance for payment, all prior powers of attorney, proxies and consents given by you with respect to such Optibase Shares (and any and all Optibase Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of your Optibase Shares) will be revoked, without further action, and no subsequent powers of attorney or proxies may be given or any subsequent written consent executed by you (and, if given or executed, will not be deemed effective). Our designees will, with respect to the Optibase Shares for which the appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all of your voting and other rights as they in their sole discretion may deem proper at any annual or special meeting of Optibase’s shareholders or any adjournment or postponement of that meeting, by written consent in lieu of any meeting or otherwise. We reserve the right to require that, in order for Optibase Shares to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon our payment for the Optibase Shares, we must be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to the Optibase Shares at any meeting of Optibase’s shareholders with a record date subsequent to the consummation of the offer (and at any meeting of Optibase’s shareholders with a record date prior to the consummation of the offer if such Optibase Shares were held by such tendering shareholder as of such record date).
 
Tenders to Israel Brokerage & Investments - I.B.I. - Ltd., our Israeli Depositary
 
Eligibility; Who May Tender to the Israeli Depositary. Shareholders who are Unlisted Holders should tender their Optibase Shares to the Israeli Depositary.  All other shareholders should tender to the U.S. Depositary, as described above.
 
Valid Tender. In order for an Unlisted Holder to validly tender Optibase Shares in the offer to the Israeli Depositary, such Unlisted Holder must notify the Israeli Depositary, via the TASE member with which its securities deposit is managed, of its tender by delivery of an Acceptance Notice of an Unlisted Holder to the TASE member, duly signed by the Unlisted Holder or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
 
An Acceptance Notice of an Unlisted Holder must be submitted to a TASE member with which the securities deposit of the Unlisted Holder is being managed, on an Israeli business day, generally between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Israel time (2:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., New York time), during the offer period. We recommend that you check at what time you may submit the Acceptance Notice with the TASE member with which your securities deposit is managed.
 
Each of the TASE members is required to deliver to the Israeli Depositary, at its address set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase, by 6:00 p.m. Israel time (11:00 a.m. New York time) on the Expiration Date, one Acceptance Notice of TASE Member, representing all Acceptance Notices delivered to such TASE member by any Unlisted Holder.
 
If the conditions of the offer are satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by us, the purchase price for the Optibase Shares validly tendered pursuant to the offer and accepted by us for payment will be transferred to the Unlisted Holder by the Israeli Depositary promptly following the Expiration Date, by crediting within four U.S. business days following the Expiration Date the Unlisted Holder's bank account according to the particulars given to the Israeli Depositary through the relevant TASE member.
 
22

If any condition to the offer is not satisfied prior to the Expiration Date and not waived by us, or if we withdraw the offer, we will promptly return all the Acceptance Notices to the TASE members (and through them, to the Unlisted Holders) via the Israeli Depositary.
 
The valid tender of Optibase Shares pursuant to the applicable procedure described above will constitute a binding agreement between you and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the offer.
 
Determination of Validity
 
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Optibase Shares will be determined by us, in our sole discretion. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders that we determine not to be in proper form or, in the case of tenders, the acceptance for payment of which may be unlawful. A tender of Optibase Shares will not have been made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. None of us, our affiliates, our assigns, the Depositaries, the Information Agent, our Israeli or U.S. legal counsel or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Optibase Shares or incur any liability for failure to give any notification.
 
If you tender your Optibase Shares pursuant to the applicable procedure described above, it will constitute your acceptance of the terms and conditions of the offer, as well as your representation and warranty to us that:
 

you have the full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the tendered Optibase Shares (and any and all Optibase Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of your Optibase Shares); and
 

when we accept your Optibase Shares for payment, we will acquire good and unencumbered title to your Optibase Shares, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims.
 
12.
Withdrawal Rights.
 
You may withdraw previously tendered Optibase Shares at any time prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date.  If we extend the Expiration Date or are unable to accept Optibase Shares for payment pursuant to the offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to our rights under the offer but subject to applicable law, the Depositaries may, nevertheless, on our behalf, retain tendered Optibase Shares, and those Optibase Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that tendering shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in this Section 12.  However, our ability to delay the payment for Optibase Shares that we have accepted for payment is limited by applicable law, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires that a bidder pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of security holders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of such bidder’s offer.
 
Withdrawal procedure for tenders to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, our U.S. Depositary
 
If you tendered your Optibase Shares to the U.S. Depositary, for a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the U.S. Depositary at the address set forth on the back cover of this offer to purchase. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Optibase Shares to be withdrawn, the number of Optibase Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the Optibase Shares, if different from the name of the person who tendered the Optibase Shares. If certificates evidencing Optibase Shares to be withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the U.S. Depositary, then, prior to the physical release of the certificates, the serial numbers shown on the certificates must be submitted to the U.S. Depositary and the signature(s) on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution, unless the Optibase Shares have been tendered for the account of an eligible guarantor institution. If Optibase Shares have been delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer as set forth in Section 11, any notice of withdrawal must also specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Optibase Shares and otherwise comply with DTC’s procedures.
 
23

Withdrawal procedure for tenders to our Israeli Depositary

If you tendered your shares to the Israeli Depositary, you may withdraw your shares at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Israel time (10:00 a.m., New York time) on the Expiration Date, by delivering to the TASE member to which you delivered your Acceptance Notice, a copy of the Acceptance Notice of an Unlisted Holder which was delivered by you, marked “Acceptance Notice Cancelled” and accompanied by the date and time of delivery of your Acceptance Notice to the TASE member, and your signature or the signature of your duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
 
Withdrawals of tendered Optibase Shares may not be rescinded. If you have properly withdrawn your Optibase Shares, they will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the offer. However, withdrawn Optibase Shares may be re-tendered at any time prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time (5:00 p.m., Israel time), on the Expiration Date by following the applicable procedure described in Section 11.
 
Determination of Validity
 
All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law. None of us or our affiliates or assigns, the Depositaries, the Information Agent, our Israeli legal counsel or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
 
13.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax and Israeli Income Tax Consequences.
 
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.
 
U.S. Holders. The following discussion summarizes material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the offer applicable to the shareholders of Optibase who are U.S. Holders and whose Optibase Shares are tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer. A “U.S. Holder” means a holder of Optibase Shares who is:
 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
 

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
 

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
 

a trust (A) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (B) if it has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code.
 
This discussion is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, referred to as the Code, current and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions and interpretations as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, which change may apply retroactively and could materially affect the continued validity of this summary and the tax consequences described in this Section 13. Subject to the discussion set forth below under the heading entitled “Characterization of the Purchase if Optibase is a Passive Foreign Investment Company,” this discussion assumes that Optibase is not and has never been a “passive foreign investment company,” “controlled foreign corporation,” “foreign investment company” or “foreign personal holding company” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
This discussion addresses only holders of Optibase Shares that are held as capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code. No ruling has been or will be sought from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and no opinion of counsel has been or will be rendered as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the offer. This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to shareholders in light of their particular circumstances or certain types of shareholders subject to special treatment, including, without limitation:
 

regulated investment companies;
 

broker-dealers (including in securities or foreign currency) or insurance companies;
 

persons who have elected to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;
 
24


certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States;
 

tax-exempt organizations or retirement plans;
 

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
 

banks and other financial institutions;
 

persons who hold their Optibase Shares as part of a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging, conversion, constructive sale, synthetic security, or other integrated investment;
 

holders who received their Optibase Shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;
 

partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold their Optibase Shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities;
 

holders who within the five-year period prior to the offer owned directly, indirectly or by attribution at least 10.0% of Optibase by vote or value; and
 

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
 
In addition, this summary does not discuss any foreign, state, or local tax consequences or any U.S. tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax) relevant to U.S. Holders other than U.S. federal income tax consequences.
 
WE RECOMMEND THAT OPTIBASE SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE U.S. HOLDERS CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS. FOR A DISCUSSION OF MATERIAL ISRAELI INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES, SEE BELOW UNDER “MATERIAL ISRAELI TAX CONSEQUENCES.”
 
Characterization of the Purchase if Optibase is not a Passive Foreign Investment Company. The receipt of cash for Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer will be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a U.S. Holder who sells Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Optibase Shares sold pursuant to the offer. Gain or loss will be determined separately for each block of Optibase Shares (i.e., Optibase Shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) tendered pursuant to the offer. The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Optibase Shares for more than one year at the time of the consummation of the offer. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally eligible for a preferential tax rate (currently a maximum of 20.0%). Special limitations apply to the use of capital losses.
 
Characterization of the Purchase if Optibase is a Passive Foreign Investment Company. In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of section 1297(a) of the Code (“PFIC”) if, for any taxable year, at least 75.0% of its gross income consists of passive income (such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, or gains on certain securities or commodities transactions), or at least 50.0% of the average value of its assets consists of assets that produce or are held for the production of, passive income. Optibase’s Form 20-F for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2020 states that there is a substantial risk that Optibase is a PFIC. There is no assurance that Optibase is not a PFIC or that it has never been a PFIC.
 
In general, if Optibase were characterized as a PFIC for any taxable year during a U.S. Holder’s period of ownership, any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder who sells Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer would be treated as ordinary income and would be subject to tax as if the gain had been realized ratably over the holding period of the Optibase Shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year with respect to which Optibase was not a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income (rather than capital gain) earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years would be taxed at the highest marginal rates applicable to ordinary income for such taxable years, and the U.S. Holder also would be liable for an additional tax equal to the interest on such tax liability for such years. We recommend that U.S. Holders consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the sale of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer.
 
25

Additional Tax on Investment Income. In addition to the income taxes described above, U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, which includes capital gains from the sale of Optibase Shares.
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made by the Depositary in connection with the offer may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible backup withholding. Under the U.S. federal backup withholding tax rules, 24.0% of the gross proceeds payable to a shareholder or other payee pursuant to the offer must be withheld and remitted to the U.S. Treasury unless the U.S. Holder (or other payee) who tenders its Optibase Shares to the Depositary provides such shareholder’s (or other payee’s) taxpayer identification number (employer identification number or social security number) to the Depositary and otherwise complies with the backup withholding rules. Each U.S. Holder tendering its shares to the Depositary should complete and sign the Form W-9 included as part of the Letter of Transmittal in order to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding.
 
Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.
 
Material Israeli Tax Consequences.
 
The following discussion summarizes the material Israeli tax consequences of the offer applicable to Optibase’s shareholders whose Optibase Shares are tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the offer. The following discussion is based on the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended, or the Ordinance, the regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and pronouncements, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could alter the tax consequences discussed below. There can be no assurance that the Israel Tax Authority, or the ITA, or a court will not take a position contrary to the Israeli income tax consequences discussed herein or that any such contrary position taken by the ITA or a court would not be sustained. This discussion addresses only Optibase Shares that are held as capital assets (generally, assets held for investment) within the meaning of the Ordinance. This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to shareholders in light of their particular circumstances or certain types of shareholders subject to special treatment.
 
The tax discussion set forth below is based on present law. Because individual circumstances may differ, we recommend that you consult your tax advisors to determine the applicability of the rules discussed below to you and the particular tax effects of the offer, including the application of Israeli or other tax laws.
 
The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the ownership of our Optibase Shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction.
 
The summary below does not discuss the effects of any non-Israeli tax laws. For a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences, see above under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
Characterization of the Purchase. The receipt of cash for Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer generally will be treated as a taxable transaction for Israeli income tax purposes in which a holder of Optibase Shares will be treated as having sold such Optibase Shares.
 
Israeli Residents. Israeli law generally imposes a capital gains tax on a sale or disposition of any capital assets by Israeli residents, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of assets located in Israel, including shares in Israeli companies (such as Optibase), by non-Israeli residents, unless a specific exemption is available or unless a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise.
 
Tax Rates. In general, pursuant to the Ordinance and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the tax rate applicable to capital gains derived from the sale of Optibase Shares, whether listed on a stock market or not, is 25% for Israeli individuals. However, if the individual shareholder is claiming deduction of interest expenditures or if such shareholder is considered a “significant shareholder” at any time during the 12-month period preceding such sale, i.e., such shareholder holds directly or indirectly, including with others, at least 10% of any means of control in the company, the tax rate is 30%. However, the foregoing tax rates will not apply to: (i) dealers in securities; (ii) shareholders who acquired their Optibase Shares prior to Optibase’s initial public offering in the United States  on Nasdaq in 1999 (that may be subject to a different tax arrangement); and (iii) in some cases, shareholders who received their Optibase Shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or payment for services. Companies are subject to the corporate tax rate on capital gains derived from the sale of Optibase Shares (currently 23%).

Non-Israeli residents. Non-Israeli residents generally will be exempt from capital gains tax on the sale of their Optibase Shares, provided that such shareholders did not acquire their Optibase Shares prior to Optibase’s initial public offering and that the gains are not attributed to a permanent establishment of such shareholders in Israel. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to such exemption if Israeli residents (i) have a controlling interest of 25.0% or more in such non-Israeli corporation, or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly. In addition, such exemption is not applicable to a person whose gains from selling or otherwise disposing of the Optibase Shares are deemed to be business income.
 
In addition, pursuant to the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Israel with Respect to Taxes on Income, as amended, or the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, the sale, exchange or disposition of Optibase Shares by a person who (i) holds the Optibase Shares as a capital asset, (ii) qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty, and (iii) is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such U.S. resident by the U.S.-Israel Tax Treaty (such person is referred to as a U.S. Treaty Resident), generally will not be subject to Israeli capital gains tax unless: (1) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel; (2) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to royalties; (3) the capital gain arising from the such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to a permanent establishment in Israel, under certain terms; (4) such U.S. Treaty Resident held, directly or indirectly, Optibase Shares representing 10% or more of the voting power of Optibase during any part of the 12-month period preceding the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions; (5) such U.S. Resident is an individual and was present in Israel for 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year; or (6) the U.S. Resident is not holding the shares as a capital asset. If the exemption is not available, such sale, exchange or disposition would be subject to Israeli capital gains tax to the extent applicable. Under the U.S.-Israel tax Treaty, such U.S. Treaty Resident would be permitted to claim a credit for Israeli income tax against the U.S. federal income tax imposed on any gain from such sale, exchange or disposition, under the circumstances and subject to the limitations, subject to the limitations in the U.S. tax laws applicable to foreign tax credits. The U.S Israel Tax Treaty does not provide such credit against any United States state or local taxes.
 
Excess Tax. Subject to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty, individuals who are subject to tax in Israel (whether any such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income (including, but not limited to, dividends, interest and capital gain) exceeding NIS 647,640 for 2021, which amount is linked to the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index.
 
Israeli Withholding Tax. An approval from the ITA was obtained with respect to the withholding tax rates applicable to shareholders as a result of the sale of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer. The approval provides, among other things, that:
 
(1)   shareholders who meet the following criteria will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax: (a) they acquired their Optibase Shares after its initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999; (b) they do not hold their Optibase Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution; (c) they hold less than 5% of Optibase Shares; (d) they certify that they are not, and at the date of purchase of their Optibase Shares were not Israeli residents (and, (i) in the case of a corporation, that no Israeli residents hold 25.0% or more of the means to control such corporation or are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such corporation, whether directly or indirectly, or (ii) in the case of a partnership, that no partner in the partnership is an Israeli resident and no Israeli resident holds, directly or indirectly via shares or through a trust or in any other manner or with another who is an Israeli resident, 25.0% or more of any right in the partnership or, of the right to direct the manner of exercising any of the rights in the partnership); provided that (A) with respect to shareholders who are individuals, they timely provide a copy of their passport; and (B) with respect to shareholders that shall receive an aggregate Offer Price that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, they timely submit a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of their country of residence;
 
(2)   payments to shareholders who hold their Optibase Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will be made by us without any Israeli withholding at source, and the relevant Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will withhold Israeli tax, if any, as required by Israeli law; and
 
(3)   shareholders who are not described in clauses (1) and (2) above will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the applicable rate of the gross proceeds payable to them pursuant to the offer, as prescribed by Israeli tax law, unless such shareholders obtain a tax withholding certificate from the Israel Tax Authority, all as prescribed by Israeli tax law.
 
27

More specifically, based on the approval, if a Optibase Shareholder tenders its Optibase Shares:
 
 
 
to the U.S. Depositary, then the U.S. Depositary may be required to withhold Israeli tax at the applicable rate of the gross proceeds payable to such shareholder pursuant to the offer, unless such shareholder, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, either:

o
certifies, by completing the Declaration Form (Declaration of Status for Israeli Income Tax Purposes), or the Declaration Form, included in the Letter of Transmittal or otherwise delivered to such shareholder, that (1) (i) such shareholder is NOT and at the date of purchase of its Optibase Shares was not a “resident of Israel” for purposes of the Ordinance, and (A) if it is a corporation, that Israeli residents are NOT “controlling shareholders” (as defined under Section 68A of the Ordinance) of such corporation (i.e., that Israeli residents do not hold 25.0% or more of the means to control such corporation), nor are Israeli residents the beneficiaries of, and are not entitled to, 25.0% or more of such corporation’s revenues or profits, whether directly or indirectly, or (B) if it is a partnership, that no partner in the partnership is an Israeli resident and no Israeli resident holds, directly or indirectly via shares or through a trust or in any other manner or with another who is an Israeli resident, 25.0% or more of any right in the partnership or, of the right to direct the manner of exercising any of the rights in the partnership, (ii) such shareholder acquired its Optibase Shares after Optibase’s initial public offering on Nasdaq in 1999, and (iii) such shareholder is the beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of less than 5% of the outstanding Shares, and provided that (a) with respect to a shareholder who is an individual, such shareholder timely provides a copy of her/her passport; and (b) with respect to a shareholder that shall receive an aggregate Offer Price that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, such shareholder timely submits a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of their country of residence; or (2) such shareholder is a bank, broker or financial institution resident in Israel. In such case, the U.S. Depositary will not withhold any Israeli withholding tax from the gross proceeds payable to such shareholder pursuant to the offer; or
 

o
provide the U.S. Depositary with a valid certificate from the ITA entitling such shareholder to an exemption or a specified withholding tax rate, referred to as the ITA Waiver. In such case, the U.S. Depositary will withhold Israeli withholding tax (or not withhold, if such shareholder is entitled to an exemption) from the gross proceeds payable to such shareholder pursuant to the offer in accordance with such ITA Waiver; or
 
 
to the Israeli Depositary, and such shareholder

o
holds its Optibase Shares through a TASE member, then such TASE member will withhold Israeli income tax, if applicable, at the rate of 25% of the gain realized by such shareholder from the sale of Optibase Shares in the offer, in accordance with the Israeli Income Tax Regulations (Withholding from Consideration, Payment or Capital Gains on the Sale of a Security or Forward Transaction), 2002.
 
We recommend that you consult your tax advisors regarding the application of Israeli income and withholding taxes (including eligibility for any withholding tax reduction or exemption, and the refund procedure).
 
Please note that if you tender your Optibase Shares to the U.S. Depositary and provide a Declaration Form and any accompanying documents, you also consent to the provision of such Declaration Form and any accompanying documents to us and to the ITA in case the ITA so requests for purposes of audit or otherwise.
 
All questions as to the validity, form or eligibility of any Declaration Form (and accompanying documents) or ITA Waiver (including time of receipt) and, subject to applicable law, the withholding of Israeli taxes, will be determined by us, in our sole discretion. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all Declaration Forms (or accompanying documents) or ITA Waivers that we determine not to be in proper form or pursuant to which the failure to withhold any Israeli taxes may be unlawful. We also reserve, subject to applicable law, the absolute right, in our sole discretion, to waive any defect or irregularity in any Declaration Form (or accompanying document) or ITA Waiver of any particular shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other shareholders. None of us, our affiliates, our assigns, the Depositaries, the Information Agent, our Israeli or U.S. legal counsel or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities or incur any liability for failure to give any notification.
 
An excerpt of the definition of an Israeli resident in the Ordinance is attached as Annex B.
 
28

The Israeli withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, the Israeli income tax liability of shareholders subject to Israeli withholding tax will be reduced by the amount of Israeli tax withheld. If Israeli withholding tax results in an overpayment of Israeli taxes, the holder may apply to the ITA (by filing an Israeli tax return) in order to obtain a refund. However, no assurance is given as to whether and when the ITA will grant such refund.
 
The foregoing discussion is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a complete analysis or description of all potential Israeli tax effects of a sale of shares pursuant to the offer. We recommend that Optibase Shareholders consult their tax advisors concerning the Israeli and non-Israeli tax consequences to them of tendering their shares pursuant to the offer.

Except as set forth in this offer to purchase, no member of our bidder group nor, to the best of our knowledge, any of the other persons listed on Schedule I, nor any affiliate or majority-owned subsidiary of any of the foregoing, nor any of the respective executive officers, directors or subsidiaries of any of the foregoing, has effected any transaction in Optibase Shares during the past 60 days.
 
Except as set forth in this document, no member of our bidder group, nor to the best of our knowledge, any other person listed on Schedule I, nor any affiliate or majority-owned subsidiary of the foregoing, beneficially owns or has a right to acquire Optibase Shares.
 
Except as set forth in this document, no member of our bidder group, nor to the best of our knowledge, any of the other persons listed on Schedule I has had, during the past two years, any negotiations, contacts or material transactions with Optibase or any of its executive officers, directors or affiliates, concerning any merger, consolidation, acquisition, tender offer, election of directors, or the sale of a material amount of the assets of, Optibase.
 
Additional Information. The name, citizenship, business address, present principal occupation and material positions held during the past five years of each of the executive officers, directors and other “senior office holders” (as such term is defined under the Israeli Securities Law) of each member of our bidder group are set forth in Schedule I to this offer to purchase.
 
None of the members of our bidder group:

The Schedule TO and its exhibits, as well as other information filed by us with the SEC, are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional copies of this offer to purchase and other materials related to the offer may also be obtained for free upon request from the Information Agent, whose contact information is set forth on the on the back cover of this offer to purchase.
 
34

We have not made any provision in connection with our offer to grant to holders of Optibase Shares who are not affiliated with Optibase access to our corporate files or to obtain counsel or appraisal services at our expense.
 
18.
Sources and Amount of Funds.
 
We estimate that the total amount of funds that we will pay to consummate the offer, including fees and expenses, is approximately $10.8 million.

To fund our purchase of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer, Capri has borrowed from Credit Suisse (Switzerland) Ltd. (“Credit Suisse”) approximately $10.5 million (the “Loan”) under a Confirmation of Framework Credit Limit, dated February 8, 2019, between Credit Suisse and Capri (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all current and future assets of Capri held at Credit Suisse, which currently consist of our existing holding of Optibase Shares. Capri must pay interest on the Loan at the rate of 1.8% per year and Capri must repay the principal of the Loan no later than April 30, 2023.

Capri has deposited the net proceeds of the Loan into an escrow account with the Israeli Depositary. To secure the payment for the Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer, the Israeli Depositary, who is a member of the TASE, has agreed to guarantee our obligation to pay for the Optibase Shares. The escrow account secures this guarantee.
 
We plan to repay the Loan as follows:
 

If we do not consummate the offer then we will repay the loan from the release of the escrow account.
 

If we consummate the offer, then we will cause Optibase to pay to us, from its cash on hand, a cash dividend in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay the Loan.
 
We do not believe that our financial condition is material to your decision whether to tender Optibase Shares and accept the offer because:
 

the offer consideration consists solely of cash;
 

the offer is not subject to any financing condition, we have obtained the necessary funds to consummate the offer and we have deposited cash into an escrow account with the Israeli Depositary in an amount sufficient to pay for the maximum number of Optibase Shares that we are offering to purchase in the offer;
 

members of our bidder group in the aggregate already hold 81.9% of the outstanding Optibase Shares as of July 7, 2021, and therefore control Optibase;
 

we are a private foundation and our financial statements primarily reflect our management’s ability to manage an investment portfolio, rather than our ability to manage an operating company such as Optibase.
 
While we do not believe that our financial condition is material to the decision of a holder of Optibase Shares whether to tender Optibase Shares and accept the offer, certain selected financial information is provided below.
 
The sole material asset of Capri is its holding of 4,097,201 Optibase Shares, which is worth $48.1 million, based on the closing price per share on Nasdaq on February 14, 2022, the U.S. business day prior to the commencement of the offer, of $11.75 per share. Capri has no liabilities other than the Loan, the payment of fees and expenses with respect to the offer, an estimate of which fees and expenses are set forth in Section 21 of this offer to purchase, and immaterial administrative expenses. The net worth of Mr. Wyler is in excess of $1.5 million, excluding illiquid assets, and there are no guarantees or contingencies that negatively may affect his net worth in any material respect.
 
19.
Conditions of the Offer.
 
Under Israeli law, we will become irrevocably bound to purchase the Optibase Shares validly tendered pursuant to the offer and not properly withdrawn prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date, subject to the following conditions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the offer, and in addition to (and not in limitation of) our rights to extend the Expiration Date or otherwise amend the terms of the offer at any time, we shall not be required to accept for payment and, subject to Israeli law, the Exchange Act and any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to our obligation to either pay for or return tendered Optibase Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the offer), pay for any tendered Optibase Shares, if --
 
(a) The number of Optibase Shares that shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, shall not suffice to meet the minimum condition.
 
35

The minimum condition will be satisfied if either:
 

o
682,024 or more Optibase Shares shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn, and the majority of those Optibase Shares shall have been tendered by offerees who do not have a “personal interest,” within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law and as described below in this section, in the offer; or
 

o
837,975 or more Optibase Shares shall have been validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn.
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, the Compulsory Acquisition will occur as a result of the offer if there are validly tendered, and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the offer, a number of Optibase Shares which, together with the Optibase Shares already held by the bidder group, constitute either --
 

o
more than 95% of the outstanding Optibase Shares, and the majority of those Optibase Shares shall have been tendered by offerees who do not have a “personal interest” within the meaning of the Israeli Companies Law; or
 

o
more than 98% of the outstanding Optibase Shares.
 
The minimum condition is calculated to satisfy these thresholds under the Israeli Companies Law. Since the number of Optibase Shares outstanding, net of treasury shares, is 5,198,361, and the number of Optibase Shares already owned by the bidder group is 4,256,419, the number of Optibase Shares that corresponds to each of the bullets immediately above is 682,024 and 837,975, respectively.  The amounts comprising the minimum condition in this offer are lesser than the corresponding amounts in our first offer because, subsequent to the first offer, we determined that we had overstated in the first offer the number of Optibase Shares outstanding, net of treasury shares, by 17,895 shares, or approximately 0.3%.
 
We will not waive the minimum condition.
 
(b) At any time on or after commencement of the offer and prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date any of the following “events” shall have occurred, provided that we did not know and could not have known of, such an event, on the date of this offer to purchase and such “event” would cause the terms of the offer as a result of such “event” to become materially different from the terms which a reasonable person in the offeror’s position would have proposed had it known of such “event” on the date of this offer to purchase:
 

Any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation, legislation, interpretation, judgment, order or injunction enacted, enforced, promulgated, amended, issued or deemed applicable to the offer, by any legislative body, court, government or governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction, domestic or foreign;
 

any action or proceeding instituted or pending by any governmental entity or third party before a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, domestic or foreign;
 

any change that has or will have occurred (or any development that has or will have occurred involving prospective changes) in the business, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise), prospects or results of operations of Optibase that has, or could reasonably be expected to have, in our reasonable discretion;
 

any general suspension of trading in securities on Nasdaq or the TASE;
 

a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or Israel (whether or not mandatory) or a material limitation (whether or not mandatory) by any governmental entity on the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions, that could  have a material adverse effect on us, Optibase or the trading of the Optibase Shares;
 

in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the offer, a material escalation or the worsening thereof;
 
36


any change in the general political, market, economic or financial conditions in the United States, Israel or abroad that could, have a material adverse effect on us, on Optibase or the trading of the Optibase Shares; or
 

a tender offer or exchange offer for any or all of Optibase Shares, or any merger, acquisition, business combination or other similar transaction with or involving Optibase or any of its subsidiaries, shall have been proposed, announced or made by any other person or has been publicly disclosed.
 
(c) At least one U.S. business day prior to the Expiration Date, we shall not have obtained any approvals, licenses, permits or consents of any competent authority or any other approval, which is required under applicable law in order to purchase the Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer (see Section 20 - “Legal Matters and Regulatory Approvals”).
 
Under the Israeli Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a person in an action or transaction of a company (i) includes a personal interest of (a) any spouse, sibling, parent, grandparent or descendant of the person, any descendant, sibling or parent of a spouse of the person and the spouse of any of the foregoing; and (b) a company with respect to which the person (or any of the foregoing relatives of the person) owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares or voting rights, serves as a director or chief executive officer or has the right to appoint one or more directors or the chief executive officer; and (ii) excludes a personal interest arising solely from the ownership of shares.  Under the Israeli Companies Law, in the case of a person tendering by proxy “personal interest” includes the personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to tender the shares.  We ask each shareholder to inform us, when tendering their Optibase Shares, whether or not the shareholder has a personal interest in the acceptance of the offer. A shareholder who fails to provide this information will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether the alternative minimum of 682,024 Optibase Shares, described above in this section, has been satisfied.
 
The foregoing conditions may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions so long as they are not caused exclusively by any action or inaction of any member of the bidder group, and, in the case of clause (b) above, subject to applicable law, may be waived by us in whole or in part at any time and from time to time until the Expiration Date (as may be extended, subject to applicable law), in each case, in the exercise of our reasonable judgment.
 
Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 pm Israel time, on the Expiration Date. All of the conditions of the offer must be satisfied or waived before the Expiration Date. If we proceed with the offer after failing to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this will be deemed a waiver of such rights, and depending on the materiality of the waived right and the number of days remaining in the offer, we may be required to extend the offer and recirculate new disclosure to the tendering shareholders. A public announcement may be made of a material change in (as may be permitted under applicable law), or waiver of, such conditions, and the Expiration Date may, in certain circumstances, subject to applicable law, be extended in connection with any such change or waiver.
 
Should the offer be terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, all tendered Optibase Shares shall be promptly returned by the Depositaries to the tendering shareholders.
 
The offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing or the approval of the board of directors of Optibase.
 
20.
Legal Matters and Regulatory Approvals.
 
The Israel Securities Authority. Pursuant to the Israeli Securities Law, if the ISA, including an employee it authorized for that purpose, determines that this offer to purchase and related materials do not contain all the information that the ISA believes is important for a reasonable offeree, or that this offer to purchase and related materials do not comply with the provisions of the Israeli Securities Law, the ISA may direct, during the period in which the offer is open, that the Expiration Date be postponed, and the ISA may direct, after having given us appropriate opportunity for a fair hearing before it, that an amendment to this offer to purchase and related materials be published within one Israeli business day (unless it stipulates another time), or that an amended offer to purchase and related materials should be provided in the form and manner it directs. The ISA may order the postponement of the Expiration Date, if it sees fit to do so, for the protection of the interests of the offerees.
 
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC may or may not review and comment on this offer to purchase and related documents. However, the offer has not been approved or disapproved by the SEC (or, for that matter, any state securities commission or the ISA), nor has the SEC (or any state securities commission or the ISA) passed upon the fairness or merits of the offer or upon the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this offer to purchase. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
 
37

General. In addition, we must receive any necessary material approval, permit, authorization or consent of any U.S., Israeli or other governmental, administrative or regulatory agency (federal, state, local, provincial or otherwise) for the purchase of the Optibase Shares pursuant to this offer prior to the Expiration Date. We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit that appears to be material to the business of Optibase and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that might be adversely affected by our acquisition of Optibase Shares pursuant to the offer. If any such material approval or other action is required, we presently contemplate to use our reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such approval or take such action. While, except as otherwise described in this offer to purchase, we do not presently intend to delay the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, Optibase Shares tendered pursuant to the offer pending the outcome of any such matter, there can be no assurance that any such approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained without substantial conditions, or that failure to obtain any such approval or other action might not result in unknown or unforeseen consequences adverse to Optibase’s business. See Section 19 for conditions of the offer, including conditions with respect to regulatory approvals.
 
21.

King & Co., Inc. will be paid a reasonable and customary fee for its services and will also be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and may be indemnified against specified liabilities and expenses in connection with the offer, including specified liabilities under the federal securities laws. We will pay the Depositaries reasonable and customary compensation for their services in connection with the offer and reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify them against specified liabilities and expenses in connection with their services, including specified liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Miscellaneous.
 
We are making the offer to shareholders of Optibase by this offer to purchase and the related documents delivered to you. We are not aware of any jurisdiction where the making of the offer is prohibited by administrative or judicial action pursuant to any valid state statute. If we become aware of any valid state statute prohibiting the making of the offer or the acceptance of the Optibase Shares pursuant thereto, we will make a good faith effort to comply with such statute or seek to have such statute declared inapplicable to the offer. If, after this good faith effort, we cannot comply with the state statute, subject to applicable law, the offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Optibase Shares in that state. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, we will endeavor to make arrangements to have the offer made on our behalf by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdictions.

Updated Evaluation of MNS Consulting
 
Expert Opinion in the matter of:
 
 
The Capri Family Foundation
Updated Evaluation of Opibase Ltd.

written by
Sharon Zaworbach

February 14, 2022

1.
On November 30, 2021, we (MNS Consulting Ltd.) conducted an evaluation (the “Initial Evaluation”) of the value of Optibase Ltd. (the “Company”) in support of the Tender Offer submitted by The Capri Family Foundation (the “Client”) on December 1, 2021.
 
A - 1

3.
We have been asked by the Client to provide an updated evaluation (the “Updated Evaluation”) of the Company for the purpose of submitting a new Tender Offer.
 
4.
Our economic assessment intends to reflect in a fair and reasonable manner a given situation, based on known data and in respect to the basic assumptions.
 
5.
The methodology used in the preparation of the Updated Evaluation is similar to that which was used in the preparation of the Initial Evaluation; the evaluations are based on the fair value of the Company using net asset value methodology and by adjusting the values of items on the Company's balance sheet to their fair values. Among other things, we relied on appraisals and discounted cash flow methodology in relation to the value of the Company's assets and the fair value of the Company’s loans.
 
6.
The Updated Evaluation incorporates the latest information from the following sources:
 

The Company’s latest financial reports and statements as of September 30, 2021
 

Two third-party appraisals published of the assets in Chemin des Aulx, Switzerland, and Rümlang, Switzerland
 

Actual sale prices of units in the asset in Miami, Florida
 
7.
In accordance with the Updated Evaluation thus conducted, the fair value of the Optibase share price is $12.64.

Terms and Conditions

This Updated Evaluation is directed to the Client in connection with the Tender Offer and is not a recommendation to, and does not substitute independent judgment to be carried out by, any holder of Shares regarding the Tender Offer. Without derogating from the above, this Updated Evaluation shall not be quoted or used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of MNS Consulting Ltd. (“MNS”), except that this Updated Evaluation may be reproduced in full in, and reference to this Updated Evaluation, and to MNS and its relationship to the Client, may be included in, any tender offer materials or other materials relating to the Tender Offer that the Client files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise as required by law.
 
In composition of this Evaluation, we have relied on the sources listed above. We have relied on additional sources that, according to our personal long-term experience, we consider reliable. However, we have not independently investigated such sources and information, and therefore do not express our opinion regarding the authenticity, completeness, and/or the accuracy of the aforementioned data. Furthermore, we have not reviewed the aforementioned additional sources’ data and thus cannot speak to the authenticity, integrity, and/or accuracy of the data.
 
An economic evaluation should reasonably reflect a given situation at a specific time, based on known data. It should be noted that the Evaluation relies on forward-looking assumptions and, as such, has no certainty regarding their realization. The information upon which we have relied may change or be affected by various factors which cannot be foreseen or controlled. The information on which we have relied on may differ substantially, in various manners, in light of any additional material, information, and/or event that shall or may be obtained or in light of events that shall or may occur after the preparation of the Evaluation.
 
This Updated Evaluation does not constitute a due diligence report and does not pretend in any form or manner to include any information, examinations, and conclusions provided by a due diligence report.
 
It should be emphasized that this Updated Evaluation does not constitute as legal advice or a legal opinion, nor as advice regarding investments in the Company's securities. Additionally, this Updated Evaluation does not take into consideration taxation aspects of the potential transactions.
 
A - 3

 
MNS, its shareholders, senior management, and officers hereby declare that they have no conflict of interest regarding the Valuation. They have no personal connections to the Company, its shareholders, its board of directors and officers and any of the Company’s subsidiaries, nor have previously been employed by or hold any securities associated with any of the aforementioned.

The remunerations received for the Valuation have been pre-determined between the Client and MNS and are not dependent on the results and/or recommendations provided in the Valuation.

MNS shall bear no liability for any damages or financial loss that may occur to any person or company due to any flaw in the information on which we have relied, or arising from any failure to furnish us with other information that may be relevant to our Evaluation. In addition, and without derogating from the generality of the above, our limitation of liability for damages of any kind, other than damage caused due to our action in gross negligence and/or malice, is limited to up to three times the remunerations paid by the Client for this Valuation (the “Cap of Liability”). MNS shall not pay any compensation in excess of the Cap of Liability. The Client shall indemnify and/or reimburse MNS in any event in which MNS shall be required to pay an amount in excess of the Cap of Liability. In addition, the Client is obligated to indemnify MNS for reasonable expenses that will be incurred or be required to be paid for legal representation, legal advice, professional advice, defense against legal proceedings, negotiations, etc. The aforementioned indemnification obligation shall not apply if MNS acted, with respect to the services provided in the preparation of this document, in malice or in gross negligence.

(A)

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
                  The undersigned hereby tenders to The Capri Family Foundation (the “Purchaser”) the above-described ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.65 per share (the “Shares”) of Optibase Ltd. (“Optibase”), pursuant to the Purchaser’s offer to purchase 941,942 Shares, not already held by the Purchaser group, at $11.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions to, the Offer to Purchase, dated February 15, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and this Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.

                  Upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions to, the Offer (and if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms of any such extension or amendment), and subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of Shares tendered herewith, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to or upon the order of the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to, and any and all claims in respect of or arising or having arisen as a result of the undersigned’s status as a holder of, all Shares that are being tendered hereby (and any and all non-cash dividends, distributions, rights, other Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect thereof on or after February 15, 2022 (collectively, “Distributions”)) and irrevocably appoints the U.S. Depositary the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to the tendered Shares (and all Distributions), with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to (1) deliver certificates evidencing the tendered Shares (and all Distributions), or transfer ownership of the tendered Shares (and all Distributions) on the account books maintained by The Depository Trust Company, together, in either case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Purchaser, (2) present the tendered Shares (and all Distributions) for transfer on the books of Optibase, and (3) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of the tendered Shares (and all Distributions), all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

                  By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints the designees of the Purchaser as the attorney and proxy of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of the undersigned’s rights with respect to the Shares tendered. This proxy and power of attorney is coupled with an interest in the tendered Shares, is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of, and is effective upon, the acceptance for payment of the tendered Shares by the Purchaser in accordance with other terms of the Offer. Acceptance for payment will revoke all other proxies and powers of attorney granted by the undersigned at any time with respect to the tendered Shares (and all shares and other securities issued in Distributions in respect of the tendered Shares), and no subsequent proxies, powers of attorney, consents or revocations may be given by the undersigned with respect thereto (and if given will not be deemed effective). The undersigned understands that, in order for Shares or Distributions to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon the Purchaser’s acceptance of the tendered Shares for payment, the Purchaser must be able to exercise all rights, including voting rights, with respect to the tendered Shares (and any and all Distributions), including, without limitation, voting at any meeting of Optibase’s shareholders then scheduled.

                  The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer Shares tendered hereby and all Distributions, that when the tendered Shares are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good and unencumbered title to such Shares and Distributions, free and clear of all liens, restriction, charges and encumbrances, and that none of the tendered Shares and Distributions will be subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned, upon request, will execute and deliver all additional documents deemed by the U.S. Depositary or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the tendered Shares and all Distributions. In addition, the undersigned will remit and transfer promptly to the U.S. Depositary for the account of the Purchaser all Distributions in respect of Shares tendered hereby, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer, and until receipt of transfer or appropriate assurance of receipt and transfer, the Purchaser will be entitled to all rights and privileges as owner of each such Distribution and may withhold the entire Offer Price of the tendered Shares, or deduct from the Offer Price, the amount or value of that Distribution as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion.

                  No authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred will be affected by, and all such authority will survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. All obligations of the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal will be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable. The undersigned understands that the valid tender of Shares pursuant to any one of the procedures described in Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase and in the Instructions to this Letter of Transmittal will constitute the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms of, and conditions to, the Offer. The Purchaser’s acceptance of the tendered Shares for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions to, the Offer (and if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms of, or conditions to, any such extension or amendment).

Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.

 

Purpose of Form

 

An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following.

 

•  Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)

•  Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds)

 

•  Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds)

 

•  Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers)

 

•  Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)

 

•  Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)

 

•  Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), 1098-T (tuition)

 

•  Form 1099-C (canceled debt)

 

•  Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)

 

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN.

 

If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.



 

 

Cat. No. 10231X

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 2

 

By signing the filled-out form, you:

 

1.   Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

 

2.   Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

 

3.   Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

 

4.   Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting, later, for further information.

 

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

 

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

 

•    An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;

 

•    A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States;

 

•    An estate (other than a foreign estate); or

 

•    A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

 

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

 

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

 

•   In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity;

 

•   In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and

 

•   In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

 

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

 

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

 

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.

 

1.   The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

 

2.   The treaty article addressing the income.

 

3.   The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

 

4.   The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

 

5.   Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

 

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

 

Backup Withholding

 

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

 

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

 

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

 

1.   You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

 

2.   You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

 

3.   The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

 

4.   The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

 

5.   You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

 

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

 

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

 

What is FATCA Reporting?

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

 

Updating Your Information

 

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

 

Penalties

 

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

 

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 3

 

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

 

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

 

Specific Instructions

 

Line 1

 

You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.

 

If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9.

 

a.  Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

 

Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1 a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application.

 

b.  Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as’’ (DBA) name on line 2.

 

c.  Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

 

d.  Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.

 

e.   Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.’’ If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

 

Line 2

 

If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2.

 

Line 3

Exemption from FATCA reporting code. The following codes identify payees that are exempt from reporting under FATCA. These codes apply to persons submitting this form for accounts maintained outside of the United States by certain foreign financial institutions. Therefore, if you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is subject to these requirements.

Note: You may wish to consult with the financial institution requesting this form to determine whether the FATCA code and/or exempt payee code should be completed.

 

Line 5

 

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records.

 

Line 6

 

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.

 

Part I.    Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

 

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

 

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

 

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

 

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

 

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days.

 

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

 

Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

 

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

 

Part II.    Certification

 

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

 

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

 

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

 

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

 

To reduce your risk:

 

•  Protect your SSN,

 

•  Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

 

•  Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

 

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

 

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

 

For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

 

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

 

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

Privacy Act Notice

 

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.

2.  Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Share Certificates.  This Letter of Transmittal is to be used (i) if certificates are to be forwarded with it, or (ii) if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedures for tenders by book-entry transfer pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase. Certificates evidencing all physically tendered Shares, or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the U.S. Depositary’s account at The Depository Trust Company of all Shares delivered by book-entry transfer, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the U.S. Depositary at one of its addresses set forth below prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase). If certificates are forwarded to the U.S. Depositary in multiple deliveries, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each delivery.

Shareholders whose Share certificates are not immediately available or who cannot deliver all other required documents to the U.S. Depositary prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date may nevertheless tender their Shares by properly completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure set forth in Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure: (a) such tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (b) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form provided by Purchaser must be received by the U.S. Depositary prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date, and (c) Share certificates representing all tendered Shares, in proper form for transfer (or a Book Entry Confirmation with respect to such Shares), this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an agent’s message), and all other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, if any, must be received by the U.S. Depositary within two Nasdaq trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, Share certificates and all other required documents, including delivery through the Depository Trust Company, is at the option and risk of the tendering shareholder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the U.S. Depositary.  If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended.  In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
 
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of Shares will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion.  The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders that it determines not to be in proper form or the acceptance for payment of which may be unlawful.  A tender of Shares will not have been made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived.  None of the Purchaser, the Depositaries, the Information Agent, Purchaser’s legal counsel or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Shares or incur any liability for failure to give any notification.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no fractional Shares will be purchased.  By execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile hereof), all tendering shareholders waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Shares for payment.

If any Share certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the shareholder should promptly notify the U.S. Depositary.  The shareholder then will be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the Share certificate.  This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed Share certificates have been followed.

3.  Inadequate Space.  If the space provided on the reverse hereof under “Description of Ordinary Shares Tendered” is inadequate, the Share certificate numbers, the number of Shares evidenced by such Share certificates and the number of Shares tendered should be listed on a separate signed schedule and attached hereto.
 
4.  Partial Tenders (not applicable to shareholders who tender by book-entry transfer). If fewer than all Shares evidenced by any certificate delivered to the U.S. Depositary with this Letter of Transmittal are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled “Number of Shares Tendered.” In such cases, new certificate(s) evidencing the remainder of Shares that were evidenced by the certificates delivered to the U.S. Depositary with this Letter of Transmittal will be sent to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal, unless otherwise provided in the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” on the reverse of this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date or the termination of the Offer. All Shares evidenced by certificates delivered to the U.S. Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

If any tendered Shares are held of record by two or more persons, all of those named persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any tendered Shares are registered in different names, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of those tendered Shares.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of tendered Shares, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required, unless payment is to be made to, or certificates evidencing Shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be issued in the name of, a person other than the registered holder(s). If the Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the certificate(s) evidencing Shares tendered, the tendered certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificate(s). Signatures on the certificate(s) and stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of tendered Shares, the certificate(s) evidencing tendered Shares must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on such certificate(s). Signatures on such certificate(s) and stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of that person’s authority so to act must be submitted.

6.  Share Transfer Taxes.  The amount of any share transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), or such other person, or otherwise) payable on account of the transfer of any Shares will be deducted from the Offer Price of the tendered Shares purchased, unless evidence satisfactory to the Purchaser of the payment of the taxes, or that the transfer is not subject to tax, is submitted. The Purchaser will only be liable for share transfer taxes with respect to the sale and transfer of any Shares if such taxes are expressly imposed by applicable law on the Purchaser.
 
Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Share certificates evidencing Shares tendered hereby.

7.  Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.  If a check for the Offer Price of any tendered Shares is to be issued in the name of, and/or certificate(s) evidencing Shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be issued in the name of and/or returned to, a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or if a check or any such certificate is to be sent to a person other than the signor of this Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal but at an address other than that shown in the box entitled “Description of Shares Tendered” on the reverse of this Letter of Transmittal, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal must be completed.
 
8.  Questions and Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.  Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at the address or telephone numbers set forth below. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Declaration Form (“Declaration of Status for Israeli Income Tax Purposes”), the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and other documents related to the Offer may be obtained from the Information Agent.
 
9.  IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8.  Each holder who is a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase) surrendering certificates for payment is required to provide the U.S. Depositary with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 (provided herein) and certify under penalties of perjury that such number is correct and indicate whether such holder is subject to backup withholding as provided in the certification instructions in the form. Each holder must date and sign the IRS Form W-9 in the spaces indicated.  Failure to provide the information on the form may subject the holder to federal income tax withholding on the Offer Price and to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. If the holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number, the holder should write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN and sign and date the IRS Form W-9 in the spaces indicated. If the IRS Form W-9 is so completed, the U.S. Depositary will withhold 24% of all reportable payments that the holder is otherwise entitled to receive until a TIN is provided to the U.S. Depositary. If the holder provides a properly certified TIN within 60 days, the U.S. Depositary will refund the withheld taxes upon the holder’s request. Each holder who is not a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase) must complete and submit the applicable IRS Form W-8 in order to be exempt from the federal income tax backup withholding due on payments with respect to the Shares. The appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Information Agent and the U.S. Depositary. Shareholders that are not U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the appropriate IRS Form W-8 in their particular circumstances.
 
10. Declaration Form (“Declaration of Status for Israeli Income Tax Purposes”) and Accompanying Documents or Valid Certificate.  Each holder surrendering certificates for payment who is eligible for an exemption from Israeli withholding tax, or a reduced withholding tax rate, as described in Section 2 and Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase, is required to complete the Declaration Form included in this Letter of Transmittal or attach to this Letter of Transmittal a valid certificate issued by the Israel Tax Authority exempting such holder from Israeli withholding tax or entitling such holder to a reduced rate of Israeli withholding tax in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser (a “Valid Certificate”). See also “Important Tax Information” below and the instructions to the Declaration Form. Each holder must date and sign the Declaration Form in the spaces indicated.  Failure to provide the information on the form (including the accompanying documentation, if applicable, as described below) or the Valid Certificate may subject the holder to Israeli income tax withholding on the Offer Price.
 
Each individual non-Israeli resident shareholder tendering certificates for payment who is submitting a completed Declaration Form must also provide a copy of the photo page or his or her passport.  Failure by such shareholder to provide a copy of the photo page of his or her passport may subject the holder to Israeli income tax withholding on the Offer Price.
 
Each non-Israeli resident shareholder tendering certificates for payment who is submitting a completed Declaration Form, and that shall receive an aggregate payment pursuant to the offer in an amount in excess of US$100,000, must also provide a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the tax authority of its country of residence (the “Residency Certificate”).  Such shareholder may elect, by checking a box in the Letter of Transmittal, to submit its Residency Certificate during a period of 180 days following the Expiration Date (the “Additional Period”).  In such case, to the extent the offer is consummated, 75% (in the case of individuals) and 77% (in the case of corporations) of the payment to be paid to such shareholder pursuant to the offer shall be paid promptly following the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase and 25% (in the case of individuals) and 23% (in the case of corporations) of the payment to be paid to such shareholder pursuant to the offer shall be retained and held in escrow (the “Escrow Amount”) by the U.S. Depositary (the “Paying Agent”). In the event such shareholder submits a valid Residency Certificate prior to the expiration of the Additional Period, then promptly thereafter, the Paying Agent will process payment of the Escrow Amount to such shareholder without deducting any Israeli withholding tax.  In the event such shareholder shall not submit a valid Residency Certificate prior to the expiration of the Additional Period, then promptly thereafter, the Paying Agent will process payment of the Escrow Amount to such shareholder after deducting Israeli withholding tax. Failure by such shareholder to provide a Residency Certificate may subject the holder to Israeli income tax withholding on the Offer Price.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
 
United States
 
Under U.S. federal income tax law, a shareholder who is a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase) whose tendered Shares are accepted for payment is generally required to provide the U.S. Depositary (as payer) with the shareholder’s correct TIN on IRS Form W-9. If a shareholder is an individual, the TIN generally is the shareholder’s social security number. If the U.S. Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the shareholder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and payments that are made to the shareholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding of 24%. In addition, if a shareholder makes a false statement that results in no imposition of backup withholding, and there was no reasonable basis for making such statement, a penalty may also be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Many shareholders (including, among others, corporations and certain non-U.S. individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a non-U.S. shareholder (e.g., a non-U.S. corporation or nonresident alien individual) to qualify as an exempt recipient, that holder must submit a statement on the appropriate IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that holder’s exempt status. See the instructions for the applicable IRS Form W-8, which can be obtained on the IRS website, for additional information. A tax advisor should be consulted as to that shareholder’s qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such exemption, including which IRS Form W-8 should be provided by the shareholder.

If backup withholding applies, the U.S. Depositary is required to withhold 24% of any payments made to the shareholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained if the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, generally by filing a U.S. tax return.

Purpose of IRS Form W-9. To prevent backup withholding on payments that are made to a shareholder with respect to Shares purchased in the Offer, each shareholder who is a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase) is required to notify the U.S. Depositary of such shareholder’s correct TIN by completing the IRS Form W-9 certifying that (a) the TIN provided on IRS Form W-9 is correct, (b)(i) that shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the shareholder that the shareholder is no longer subject to backup withholding and (c) the shareholder is a U.S. resident or other U.S. person. See the instructions for IRS Form W-9 (provided herein), for additional information.

What Number to Give the U.S. Depositary. Each shareholder is required to give the U.S. Depositary the TIN (e.g., social security number or employer identification number) of the record holder of tendered Shares who is a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase). If Shares are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed instructions for IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report. If the holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number, the holder should write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN and sign and date the IRS Form W-9 in the spaces indicated. If the IRS Form W-9 is so completed, the U.S. Depositary will withhold 24% of all reportable payments that the holder is otherwise entitled to receive until a TIN is provided to the U.S. Depositary. If the holder provides a properly certified TIN within 60 days, the U.S. Depositary will refund the withheld taxes upon the holder’s request.

Israel
 
The Purchaser has obtained an approval from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”), with respect to the withholding tax rates applicable to shareholders as a result of the sale of Shares in the Offer. The approval provides, among other things, that (1) shareholders who meet the following criteria will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax: (a) they acquired their Shares after Optibase’s initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999; (b) they do not hold their Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution; (c) they are the beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of less than 5% of the outstanding Shares; (d) they certify that they are not, and at the date of purchase of their Shares were not Israeli residents (and, in the case of a corporation, that no Israeli residents (x) hold 25.0% or more of the means to control such corporation or (y) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such corporation, whether directly or indirectly); (e) with respect to shareholders who are individuals, they timely provide a copy of their passport; and (f) with respect to shareholders that shall receive an aggregate payment in the offer that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, they timely submit a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of their country of residence for the 2021 tax year, (2) payments to be made to shareholders who hold their Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will be made by the Purchaser without any Israeli withholding at source, and the relevant Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will withhold Israeli tax, if any, as required by Israeli law, and (3) shareholders who are not described in clauses (1) and (2) above will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the applicable rate of the gross proceeds payable to them pursuant to the Offer, unless such shareholders obtain a tax withholding certificate from the ITA, all as prescribed by Israeli tax law. The Israeli withholding tax is not an additional tax. Rather, the Israeli income tax liability of shareholders subject to Israeli withholding will be reduced by the amount of Israeli tax withheld. If Israeli withholding tax results in an overpayment of Israeli taxes, the holder may apply to the ITA (by filing an Israeli tax return) in order to obtain a refund. However, the Purchaser cannot assure you whether and when the ITA will grant such refund.

Purpose of Declaration Form. To prevent withholding of Israeli income tax on payments that are made to a shareholder with respect to Shares purchased in the Offer, each shareholder is required to notify the U.S. Depositary of such shareholder’s exemption by completing and signing the Declaration Form included in this Letter of Transmittal below (and providing any applicable accompanying documents) or by providing a Valid Certificate (see Instruction 10 above). The Declaration Form should be completed by holders of Shares, who are either: (i) NOT and at the date of purchase of their Shares were not “residents of Israel” for purposes of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721-1961 (the “Ordinance”), who acquired their Shares after Optibase’s initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999 or (ii) a bank, broker or financial institution that are “residents of Israel” within the meaning of that term in Section 1 of the Ordinance, holding Shares solely on behalf of beneficial shareholder(s), and are subject to the provisions of the Ordinance and regulations promulgated thereunder relating to the withholding of Israeli tax, including with respect to the cash payment (if any) made to them with respect to Shares tendered by such beneficial shareholder(s) and accepted for payment by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer.

The foregoing description of certain tax withholding is only a summary and is qualified by all the terms of, and conditions to, the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase. In this respect, you are urged to read Section 10 and Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase.

By completing this form in a manner that would substantiate your eligibility for such exemption, you will allow the Purchaser, the U.S. Depositary, your broker or withholding agent, or their authorized representatives, to exempt you from such Israeli withholding tax.

THE CAPRI FAMILY FOUNDATION

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 10:00 A.M., NEW YORK TIME, AND
5:00 P.M., ISRAEL TIME, ON MARCH 17, 2022, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.

February 15, 2022
 
To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
 
We have been appointed by The Capri Family Foundation (the “Purchaser”), to act as Information Agent in connection with the Purchaser’s offer to purchase 941,942 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.65 per share (the “Shares”) of Optibase Ltd. (“Optibase”), not already owned by the bidder group, at a price of $11.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any required withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions to, the Offer to Purchase, dated as of the date hereof (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”) enclosed herewith. The description of the Offer in this letter is only a summary and is qualified by all the terms of, and conditions to, the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the definitions ascribed thereto in the Offer to Purchase.
 
Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.
 
We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer expires at 10:00 a.m., New York time, and 5:00 p.m., Israel time on March 17, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”), unless the Offer is extended.

Your attention is directed to the following:
 
1.          The offer price is $11.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.
 
2.          The Purchaser has obtained an approval from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) with respect to the Israeli withholding tax rates applicable to shareholders as a result of the sale of Shares in the Offer. The approval provides, among other things, that (1) shareholders who meet the following criteria will not be subject to Israeli withholding tax: (a) they acquired their Shares after Optibase’s initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999; (b) they do not hold their Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution; (c) they are the beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of less than 5% of the outstanding Shares; (d) they certify that they are not, and at the date of purchase of their Shares were not Israeli residents, as set forth in the Declaration Form; (e) with respect to shareholders who are individuals, they timely provide a copy of their passport; and (f) with respect to shareholders that shall receive an aggregate payment in the Offer that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, they timely submit a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of their country of residence; (2) payments to tendering shareholders hold their Shares through an Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will be made by the Purchaser without any Israeli withholding at source, and the relevant Israeli broker or Israeli financial institution will withhold Israeli tax, if any, as required by Israeli law, and (3) shareholders who are not described in clauses (1) and (2) above will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the applicable rate of the gross proceeds payable to them pursuant to the Offer, unless such shareholders obtain a tax withholding certificate from the ITA, all as prescribed by Israeli tax law. Accordingly, if your client determines to tender his or her or its Shares in the Offer, you should also request instructions as to whether he or she or it is eligible for (i) an exemption from Israeli withholding tax by completing the enclosed Declaration Form (“Declaration of Status for Israeli Income Tax Purposes”) and submitting the accompanying documents (to the extent applicable to your client) or (ii) otherwise eligible for an exemption or a more favorable Israeli withholding tax rate and intend to provide a valid tax certificate issued by the Israel Tax Authority.

 
In general, if your client(s) certifies, by completing the Declaration Form, that it is (1) (A) NOT and at the date of purchase of its Shares was not a “resident of Israel” for purposes of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721-1961 (the “Ordinance”), and if your client is a (i) corporation, Israeli residents are NOT “controlling shareholders” of such corporation within the meaning of Section 68A of the Ordinance (i.e., that Israeli residents do not hold, directly or indirectly, 25.0% or more of the means to control such corporation) and Israeli residents are NOT the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25.0% or more of the revenues or profits of such corporation, whether directly or indirectly, or (ii) partnership that no partner in the partnership is an Israeli resident and no Israeli resident holds, directly or indirectly via shares or through a trust or in any other manner or with another who is an Israeli resident, 25.0% or more of any right in the partnership or, of the right to direct the manner of exercising any of the rights in the partnership, all as set forth in the Declaration Form, (B) it acquired its Shares after Optibase’s initial public offering in the United States on Nasdaq in 1999, and (C) is the owner (directly or indirectly) of less than 5% of the outstanding Shares, provided that (i) if your client is an individual, it timely provides a copy of its passport; and (ii) if your client shall receive an aggregate payment in the Offer that is in an amount in excess of US$100,000, it timely submits a valid certificate of residency for tax purposes issued by the applicable tax authority of its country of residence, or (2) a bank, broker or financial institution resident in Israel that (A) is holding the Shares solely on behalf of its beneficial shareholder(s) (so-called “street name” holders), and (B) is subject to the provisions of the Ordinance and regulations promulgated thereunder relating to the withholding of Israeli tax, including with respect to the cash payment (if any) made by it to its beneficial shareholder(s) with respect to Shares tendered by them and accepted for payment by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer (an “Eligible Israeli Broker”), your client is eligible for an exemption from Israeli withholding tax. See Sections 10 and 13 of the Offer to Purchase.
 
With respect to U.S. backup withholding taxes, see Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase.
 
The Purchaser, with the assistance of the U.S. Depositary and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), has established a procedure whereby, if (and only as long as you may tender the Shares on behalf of your clients pursuant to the Offer) you tender Shares in the Offer through DTC, you will be able to classify, electronically, the Shares into the following categories: (1) Shares that are tendered on behalf of your clients who certified to you, by completing the Declaration Form and providing the accompanying documents (to the extent applicable), that they are eligible for an exemption from Israeli withholding tax (“Category One Shares”), and (2) Shares that are tendered on behalf of your clients who are not eligible for such exemption (“Category Two Shares”).

     By so classifying, through such DTC system, you will be deemed to certify to the U.S. Depositary and to the Purchaser that based on a careful review of the Declaration Forms and accompanying documents (to the extent applicable) received by you, the Shares that you classified as Category One Shares, are held by non-Israeli residents who provided the accompanying documents (to the extent applicable) and/or Eligible Israeli Broker(s). In addition, in order to confirm your eligibility to make such certification for Category One Shares, you must provide copies of such Declaration Forms and accompanying documents (to the extent applicable) as well as any additional information to the Information Agent (via e-mail and utilizing the specialized e-mail address at the end of this notice) that you will be requested to provide in connection therewith. You are reminded that the ITA may have the right to audit the Declaration Forms and accompanying documents (to the extent applicable), and if you refuse, Israeli withholding tax may be imposed. If you fail to meet the deadlines for tendering Shares in the Offer, make untimely classifications or make incorrect classifications, you will be required to claim any withholding tax directly from the ITA (by filing an Israeli income tax return). Alternatively, with respect to Category Two Shares, you may receive together with the Letter of Transmittal or Declaration Form certificates of exemption from Israeli withholding or reduced withholding. In such event, you must provide copies of such certificates to the Information Agent at its address set forth on the back of the Offer to Purchase. NOTE: A CLIENT OF YOURS THAT IS AN ELIGIBLE ISRAELI BROKER MAY COMPLETE THE DECLARATION FORM IF IT IS HOLDING THE SHARES SOLELY ON BEHALF OF ITS CLIENTS, THE BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS.
 
3.          The bidder group, of which the Purchaser is a part, currently owns 4,256,419 Shares, representing approximately 81.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares. The Purchaser is offering to purchase all of the outstanding Shares not owned by the bidder group. Please see Section 9 of the Offer to Purchase.
2

 
4.          Shareholders may tender their Shares until 10:00 a.m., New York time, and 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Expiration Date, unless the Offer is extended.

5.          Following the Expiration Date, in accordance with applicable law, the Purchaser will publicly announce whether or not the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by the Purchaser. Promptly following the Expiration Date, the Purchaser will announce the results of the Offer.
 
6.          The Offer conditioned on the tender of a minimum number of Shares and the Purchaser will not waive this condition. The Offer is subject to additional customary conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase. The Offer is not conditioned on the availability of financing or the approval of the board of directors of Optibase. Please see Section 19 of the Offer to Purchase, which sets forth in full the conditions to the Offer and specifies those conditions to the Offer that are waivable by the Purchaser.
 
For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:
 
1.          Offer to Purchase;
 
2.          Letter of Transmittal for your use in accepting the Offer and tendering Shares and for the information of your clients;

3.          A letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining the clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer;
 
4.          Notice of Guaranteed Delivery;
 
5.          Declaration Form (“Declaration of Status of Israeli Income Tax Purposes”); and
 
6.          Return envelope addressed to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as U.S. Depositary. 
 
Payment for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the U.S. Depositary of (1) certificates evidencing the Shares (or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer of the Shares into the U.S. Depositary’s account at the DTC), (2) the Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an agent’s message (as described in the Offer to Purchase) and (3) any other required documents. 
 
The Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer (other than to the U.S. Depositary, Information Agent and its Israeli counsel). However, the Purchaser will, upon request, reimburse you for customary and reasonable mailing and handling expenses incurred by you in forwarding any of the enclosed materials to your clients. The Purchaser will NOT pay or cause to be paid any stock transfer taxes payable with respect to the transfer of Shares to it, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.

February 15, 2022

To Our Clients:
 
Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated as of the date hereof, and the related Letter of Transmittal, which as amended from time to time, together constitute the Offer, in connection with the tender offer of The Capri Family Foundation (the “Purchaser”) to purchase 941,942  ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.65 per share (the “Shares”) of Optibase Ltd. (“Optibase”), not already owned by the bidder group, at a price of $11.60 per Share, net to the seller in cash less any applicable withholding taxes, and without interest.  The description of the Offer in this letter is only a summary and is qualified by all the terms of, and conditions to, the Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.  Terms that are capitalized but not defined in this letter have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.
 
We are (or our nominee is) the holder of record of Shares held by us for your account.  A tender of your Shares can be made only by us as the holder of record of the Shares and only pursuant to your instructions.  The enclosed Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to tender Shares held by us for your account.
 
Please instruct us as to whether you wish us to tender on your behalf any or all of the Shares held by us for your account, upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions to, the Offer.
 
If you determine to tender your Shares in the Offer, we also request instructions as to whether you are eligible for an exemption from Israeli withholding tax by completing the enclosed Declaration Form (“Declaration of Status for Israeli Income Tax Purposes”) and submitting the accompanying documents (to the extent applicable to you).  In this respect, as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase, pursuant to Israeli tax law, the Purchaser will withhold applicable amounts from the cash payment (if any) made to you with respect to Shares tendered by you and accepted for payment by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, unless you are either (1) eligible for a full exemption from such tax and complete and submit to us the Declaration Form and accompanying documents (to the extent applicable to you) together with your tender instructions, or (2) otherwise eligible for an exemption or a more favorable Israeli withholding tax rate and provide a valid certificate issued by the Israel Tax Authority (the “Valid Certificate”).  We are (or our nominee is) the holder of record of Shares held by us for your account and therefore, you should submit the Declaration Form (and accompanying documents, to the extent applicable) or the Valid Certificate only to us, and by doing so, you also acknowledge that we may forward such form and documents (as well as related information) to the Purchaser, to the Depositary, to the Information Agent and any person authorized by the Purchaser.  You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of Israeli income and withholding taxes (including eligibility for any withholding tax reduction or exemption, and the refund procedure).  See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase, which also sets forth important information with respect to U.S. backup withholding taxes.

By completing this form in a manner that would substantiate your eligibility for such exemption, you will allow the Purchaser, the U.S. Depositary, your broker or withholding agent, or their authorized representatives, to exempt you from such Israeli withholding tax. Consequently, even though the U.S. Depositary will not deduct any Israeli withholding tax from you, pursuant to the provisions of the Ordinance and regulations promulgated thereunder, to which you are subject, you may be required to withhold Israeli tax, as applicable, from the cash payment (if any) made by you to your beneficial shareholder(s).  NOTE: AN ELIGIBLE ISRAELI BROKER MAY COMPLETE THIS FORM IF IT IS HOLDING THE SHARES SOLELY ON BEHALF OF HIS CLIENTS, THE BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS.

In accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), and the Securities Law, 5728-1968, and the Securities Regulations (Tender Offer), 5760-2000 the "Tender Offer Regulations"), the following is a
 
Schedule ('MIFRAT') of a Full Tender Offer by the Offerors, of
 
941,942 Ordinary Shares par value NIS 0.65 per share of the Company (the "Shares"), held directly or indirectly by all of the Company's shareholders, except to the Offerors themselves and the Company (who hold shares of its own as treasury shares with no voting or equity rights) (the "Offerees"), in accordance with the provisions of Section 336 of the Companies Law, such that after the purchase the Offerors will hold the full issued and paid-up capital of the Company and the full voting rights in the Company and the Company will become a private company, as detailed below (the "Tender Offer").
 
The Company was incorporated in Israel and its shares are listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the "TASE") and on the Nasdaq Global Market in the United States. Therefore, this Tender Offer is subject to both Israeli and U.S. law. In accordance with the exemption granted by the Israeli Securities Authority, this Schedule (with the exception of this cover statement) is identical to the Schedule (Offer to Purchase) that is being published by the Offerors in the United States (the "Schedule") and includes additional details that are not mandated by the Tender Offer Regulations.
 
The shares which the Offerees hold and which are being offered to be purchased in the Tender Offer include 941,942 Shares which constitute, as of July 7, 2021, approximately 18.12% of the voting rights and the issued and paid-up capital of the Company (the "Offerees' Shares"), at the price of US$11.60 per share (subject to any lawful withholding tax) (the "Price per Share"), all in accordance with the terms of the Schedule (the "Tender Offer"). Accordingly, should the Minimum Acceptance Rate (as defined below) be satisfied and the Tender Offer be accepted, then the total offered consideration will be US$10,926,527.2 (the “Consideration”). If the Minimum Acceptance Rate (as defined below) is satisfied, Shareholders of the Company who hold their shares through a TASE member will be paid by the Israeli Depositary (as defined below) in NIS based on the NIS/United States dollar exchange rate on the Last Date of Acceptance (as defined below), according to which the conversion will be made (from USD to Shekel) of the amount of the Consideration that will be paid to them. As part of the immediate report that will be published regarding the results of the Tender Offer, the Offerors will publish the exchange rate according to which the payment to such Offerees will be calculated.
 
As of the Schedule's date, the Offerors hold 4,256,419 shares of the Company, representing approximately 81.88% of the Company's issued and paid up capital and its voting rights (of which 4,097,201 Shares, representing approximately 78.82% of the Company's issued and paid up capital and its voting rights, are held by the Foundation and 159,218 Shares, representing approximately 3.06% of the Company's issued and paid up capital and its voting rights, are held by Mr. Wyler) and the Company itself holds 17,895 Shares as treasury shares with no voting or equity rights (the "Treasury Shares"). Should the Tender Offer be accepted, then following the consummation of the Tender Offer, the Offerors will own 5,198,361 Shares, representing, as of the above date, all (100%) of the Company’s issued and paid up capital and voting rights. For further details regarding the Shares, see Section 14 of the Schedule.
 
The last date up to which an acceptance notice to the Tender Offer may be delivered, is March 17, 2022, at 17:00 Israel time (the “Last Date of Acceptance”).
 
Shareholders of the Company who hold their Shares through a TASE member and wish to send an acceptance notice to the Tender Offer, shall do so via the TASE member with whom their securities deposits are managed, on an Israeli business day, generally between the hours of 9:00a.m. and 5:00p.m., Israel time, during the offer period. The TASE member will notify Israel Brokerage & Investments, I.B.I. Ltd (the "Israeli Depositary"), at its offices in 9 Ehad Ha'am Street, Tel Aviv 6525101, by 6:00pm Israel time on the Last Date of Acceptance, as specified in Section 11 of the Schedule. Additional contact information regarding the Israeli Depositary appears on the last page of the Schedule.
  

Shareholders of the Company who do not hold their Shares via a TASE member and wish to deliver an acceptance notice to the Tender Offer, shall do so via the U.S. Depositary, as specified in Section 11 of the Schedule.
 
As specified in Section 1 of the Schedule, the results of the Tender Offer shall be determined in consideration of the aggregate number of Shares included in acceptance notices, as specified in Section 11 of the Schedule, to be delivered to the Offerors by the Offerees via the Israeli Depositary and the U.S. Depositary (hereinafter: the "Depositaries").
 
To secure the payment for the Shares tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer, the Israeli Depositary, which is a TASE member, has agreed to guarantee the Offerors’ obligation to pay for the Shares tendered and accepted by the Offerors for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer. To secure this guarantee, the Offerors have deposited cash into an escrow account in an amount sufficient to pay for the number of Shares that they are offering to purchase in the Tender Offer.
 
The Tender Offer according to this Schedule is a full tender offer in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Companies Law. Pursuant to Sections 337(a) and (a1) of the Companies Law, the Offerors' undertaking to purchase the Offerees' Shares in accordance with this Schedule is subject to the following conditions: (a) the holdings of the Offerees who did not accept the Tender Offer amount to less than 5% of the Company's issued and paid up capital and more than half of the Offerees who did not have a personal interest in the acceptance of the offer accepted it; or (b) the holdings of the Offerees who did not accept the Tender Offer constitute less than 2% of the Company's issued and paid up capital (the foregoing conditions are hereinafter called: the "Minimum Acceptance Rate").
 
Based on the Company’s issued and paid up capital as of the date of the Tender Offer, the Minimum Acceptance Rate will be satisfied if: (a) the acceptance of the Tender Offer by Offerees who hold collectively 682,024 or more Shares, which together with the Shares held by the Offerors constitute more than 95% of the Company's issued and paid up capital and more than half of the Offerees who have no personal interest in the acceptance of the Tender Offer accepted it; or (b) the acceptance of the Tender Offer by Offerees who hold collectively 837,975 or more Shares, which together with the Shares held by the Offerors constitute more than 98% of the Company's issued and paid up capital.
 
If the Minimum Acceptance Rate is satisfied, then the Offerors shall acquire from the Offerees all of the Shares included in the acceptance notices received. In such case, in accordance with Section 337 of the Companies Law, the Offerors shall acquire, in consideration of the Price per Share, in addition to the Offerees’ Shares for which acceptance notices were received, also the other Offerees’ Shares for which no acceptance notices were given.
 
In accordance with the provisions of Section 337(b) of the Companies Law, if the Minimum Acceptance Rate is not satisfied, the Tender Offer will be canceled, and the acceptance notices given for the Shares will not be accepted. In such case, and subject to applicable law, the Offerors reserve the right to purchase additional Shares in the future in any other manner, including through a new tender offer, trading on the TASE and/or a private transaction.
 
In accordance with Section 338(c) of the Companies Law, the Offerors hereby give notice that an Offeree who gave an acceptance notice to the Tender Offer, pursuant to Section 337(a) or (a1) of the Companies law, shall not have an appraisal right pursuant to Section 338 of the Companies Law.
 
2

As more fully set forth in Section 19 of the Schedule, if any circumstances occur of which the Company did not know, or could not have known, causing the terms of the Tender Offer to become materially different from the terms which a reasonable offeror would have proposed had it known of such circumstances as of the Schedule date, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw the Tender Offer, until the Last Date of Acceptance (as defined above), and shall report the withdrawal of the Tender Offer to the ISA and to the TASE, and shall, within one business day, publish a notice on the withdrawal from the Tender Offer and the circumstances thereof in two daily newspapers having a mass circulation and published in Israel in Hebrew.
 
In accordance with Section 336 of the Companies Law, the Tender Offer is a full tender offer addressed to all the Offerees, and the Offerees may give notice of their acceptance of the Tender Offer, as specified in Section 11 of the Schedule. If the Tender Offer is accepted and the Minimum Acceptance Rate is satisfied, then the Offerors shall purchase all of the Offerees' Shares, the Company will become a private company pursuant to Section 339 of the Companies Law and the Offerors will act in accordance with the TASE's regulations, rules and instructions, in order to delist the Shares from the TASE. According to Part 4 of the TASE's regulations, the TASE's chief executive officer or the person who he authorizes, will decide on the delisting of the Company's Shares if a full tender offer is accepted pursuant to Section 337 of the Companies Law. The Shares will be delisted shortly after the TASE receives a notice that a full tender was accepted.

With a population of 10,657 (up by 3.7% between 2014 and 2018), the municipality of Plan-les-Ouates (GE) is located in the Genève (CH) urban agglomeration. People with a higher income (executives and senior management) accounted for 12% of Plan-les-Ouates’s population in 2018, compared to the Swiss average of 12%.

313,000 people live within a 10-minute and 469,000 within a 20-minute drive of Plan-les-Ouates (the corresponding figures for the city of Zurich being around 420,000 and 704,000).

This is equivalent to some 3.0 sqm retail space per resident of urban agglomeration, a figure below the Swiss average (4.2 sqm per resident). The volume of new-build retail development (in relation to the existing stock) over the last few years in the urban agglomeration Genève (CH) has been above par for Switzerland.

 

Conclusion 

According to Wüest Partner AG’s location and market rating, Plan-les-Ouates ranks as a municipality with an excellent location quality for office premises (4.7 points) and a very good location quality for retail premises (4.5 points on a scale from 1 [municipality with an extremely poor location quality] to 5 [municipality with an excellent location quality]).

 

Micro location 

The building park is located in the industrial zone Plan-les-Ouates (subsequently referred to as ZIPLO), which extends over 64 hectares. This area mainly accommodates businesses in the watch sector (Rolex, Vacheron-Constantin, Piaget, Patek Philippe, Harry Winston, Frédérique Constant, etc.), although divers companies in the nutritional, bio-technical (CTN – Centre des Technologies Nouvelles), and mechanical fields as well as luxury car dealerships (Ferrari, Lamborghini) are also located here.

In 2012 Polo Ralph Lauren will base its’ European headquarters in the building being constructed on the neighboring lot at the intersection of the route de la Galaise and the chemin des Aulx (total surface ca. 8’500 m2).

This area is booming with various development projects such as a new building for biotechnologies next to the new Blue Box building on the chemin de Pré-Fleuri, as well a project similar to the CTN, the CIT on the route de la Galaise.

Most of the buildings in this area were constructed about 20 years ago and are of an industrial design. The urban design isn’t conjoint and comprises several stories. The architecture chosen by the watch companies is often bolder and bestows a more modern feel to this industrial zone.

The area is quite well accessible by public transport during working hours: the bus routes 23 and 42 have stops in the ZIPLO and the lines 4 and D run along the route de Saint Julien. The access by private means of transportation is very easy with the highway exit Perly from the Geneva bypass as well as the route de Saint Julien, which connects Geneva with France. However, parking spaces are very limited in the area.
The restaurant and shopping possibilities are very sparse in the proximity; the options are greater at 10 min. distance by car. Nonetheless, nuisances are minor and the slight topographical slope of the area offer a panorama of the Rhone plain and the Jura.

In the near future, this Geneva area’s appeal will grow even more with the rezoning for the future development project ‘Quartier des Cherpines-Charrotons’ located on the other side of the route de Base. This rezoning should be carried out this fall and will comprise an area of 58 hectares with a mixed utilization of 62% residential, 23% industrial, and 15% business.

 

Building/Surrounding area

A ground lease comprising a “droit distinct et permanent DDP” has been established and registered under sheet N° 11095 for the plot N° 11138 in the Plan-les-Ouates community with 22’001 sqm.

The plot N° 11138 belongs to the State of Geneva.

 

This valuation concerns the ground lease N° 11095, owned by Eldista Sarl.The plot is situated in an industrial and commercial development area (ZDIA) which was created by the law dating 27.11.1970 regarding the rezoning of an industrial area (ZIPLO) in the Plan-les-Ouates community. The Master Plan N° 26650 for this industrial zone came into effect 28.11.1979.

The ZIPLO directive reserves this area solely for industrial, commercial or coequal use. Office use is only permitted in the case of necessity and in direct connection with production and industrial businesses. However an enactment, passed the 3.8.2010, indicates that the exclusive industrial occupancy is generally speaking. In this regard, a bill or modification of the general law, concerning the industrial development zones will be presented at the Great Council (Grand Conseil).

 

Several easements in favor of Services Industriels de Genève are mentioned. None of these easements in the land register are relevant to the property’s value. The land register of the plot N° 11138 also contains two notations referring to the restricted use within the ZIPLO directive, as well as the restriction for foreign investors (LFAIE) that does not concern this type of property since modification of Lex Friedrich in Lex Koller in 1997. The first notation refers to the legal first right of refusal in favor of the State of Geneva and the Plan-les-Ouates community, which is typical for plots situated in the development zone in the canton of Geneva.

 

According to the Register of Contaminated Sites (KbS) on the website www.sitg.ch, the plot N° 11138 has not been register as a contaminated site. This does not represent a proof that the plot is free from such a contamination, but confirms that an urgent suspicion of a contamination doesn’t exist.This valuation doesn’t include the eventual costs of a possible depollution and cleanup in the presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos, PCB, etc.

 

6 buildings are constructed above ground on the plot:

-office building (N° 3385) chemin des Aulx 8 with a floor area of 2’276 sqm (G + 3)

-restaurant with incorporated hotel (N° 3383) chemin des Aulx 10 with a floor area of 544 sqm (G +2)

-office building (N° 3381) chemin des Aulx 12 with a floor area of 2’279 sqm (G + 3)

-workshop type building (N° 3382) chemin des Aulx 14 with a floor area of 2’278 sqm (G + 3)

-factory building (N° 3384) chemin des Aulx 16 with a floor area of 523 sqm (G + 2)

-office building (N° 3386) chemin des Aulx 18 with a floor area of 2’276 sqm (G + 3)

 

The underground garage (N° 3388) with a floor area of 12’261 sqm has 674 parking spaces for cars as well as 28 parking spaces for motorcycles on 2 levels with a ‘Rue Centrale’ in the middle of the property. There are another 111 outdoor parking spaces for cars and 25 parking spaces for motorcycles.

 

Building fabric/Condition

 

The 6 buildings and the underground parking were built between 1986 and 1991.



102688.2101 | 101-4423-116 | Plan-les-Ouates, Chemin des Aulx 8-18 Created by Wüest Partner, 06.12.2021 Page 6 of 47

 

 

Wüest Dimensions - Business intelligence by Wüest Partner

  

They can be divided into two types:

 

Four of the buildings are of an office/laboratory type with :

-2 levels under ground, 3 floors above ground, 1 top floor

-flat roof with terraces

-open space plan with a skeleton structure with prefabricated concrete foundation slabs

-non-load bearing metal facades

-metal, isolated, double pane windows with cloth awnings inside

-fore-structure with cloth awnings outside

-Knauf drywall or concrete brick dividing walls

-Radiator heating

-Tenant build outThese buildings are organized around a central staircase running through the building with 2 elevators (as well as a freight elevator by the two older buildings of this type). A delivery entrance also feeds into this area. The ancillary spaces are located on both sides of the staircase. Two further staircases with an elevator each are situated in the middle or end of the building and are accessible from the underground parking.

 

Two smaller buildings (hotel, restaurant, fitness use) with :

-1 level under ground, 3 floors above ground

-load bearing facades with apparent concrete

-metal, isolated, double pane windows with cloth awnings inside

-flat roof

-Radiator heating

-Tenant build out

These buildings have an adjacent staircase with elevator. The ancillary spaces are clustered around the staircase area. The chemin des Aulx 10 with the restaurant has an additionnal staircase with a freight elevator mirroring the first staircase.

 

The complex was conceptually designed as a factory/laboratory site. The interior standard reflects this concept with a raw feel in it’s finishing. The buildings are well maintained, yet without any major capital expenditures since completion, several investments will need to be made in the years to come.

 

The underground parking garage will need to be refreshed shortly.

 

Technical installations are as following: 

-smoke and exhaust emission detectors in the parking garage (there is no sprinkler system in the buildings)

-air conditioning / ventilation with monoblocs in the chemin des Aulx 8, 12, 14 (these were all installed by the old or current tenants; some are no longer in use)

-air conditioning in the restaurant area and CTN 14

-gas heating (1991) 2x 520 kW as well as a CHP (combined heat & power; 1995 with a new motor in 2009). The gas heating is still maintained and was used during the CHP revision in 2009.

 

Usage

 

The building is mainly used for office/laboratories as following:

- 30’338 sqm office area

- 131 sqm as an apartment

- 3’129 sqm storage area

- 547 sqm restaurant area

- 430 sqm hotel area

- 674 indoor car parking spaces

- 111 outdoor car parking spaces

- 53 motorcycle parking spaces (indoor and outdoor)

 

Rental income

  

In general the rental contracts are of a 5 years duration with further contract extensions with periods of 5 years at a time, given a 6 or 12 months notice. These contracts have an indexation of 100% CPI; as an indexation of the rental contracts is only possible if the contract is of a min. 5 years duration. That means, all contracts with a renewal on a year-to-year basis may not be indexed. This valuation relies on the rent roll for this information. They have been randomly checked with the lease agreements.

 

The buildings currently have 6 major tenants that represent 76.1% of total rental revenue of the property :

-LEM SA, rental contract of 15 years, expires on 31.3.2020 (30% of the property revenue)

-ADDEX, rental contract, expires on 31.12.2012, 31.3.2013, and 31.12.2016 (17.9% of the property revenue)

-NOVIMMUNE SA, rental contract, expires on 31.12.2012, 30.4.2015, and 31.12.2018 (11.3% of the property revenue)

-ANTEIS SA, rental contract, expires on 31.12.2015, 31.5.2016, and 31.5.2017 (7% of the property revenue)

-AGILENT, rental contract, expires on 31.12.2016 (5% of the property revenue)

-FONGIT, rental contract, expires on 31.1.2017, 30.4.2017, 31.10.2016, 30.4.2013, and 31.5.2015 (4.9% of the property revenue)

 

The current average rent for offices is CHF 289.-/sqm, ranging between CHF 125.-/sqm and CHF 340.-/sqm. The market potential (market rent) for these areas is estimated at CHF 270.-/sqm.

The current average rent for storage is CHF 118.-/sqm, ranging between CHF 0.-/sqm and CHF 245.-/sqm. The market potential (market rent) for these areas is estimated at CHF 120.-/sqm.

The current average rent for the restaurant and the hotel is respectively CHF 222.-/sqm and CHF 152.-/sqm corresponding to the market potential (market rent).

The current rent for the caretaker’s apartment (part of the area let by LEM SA) is CHF 311.-/sqm. The market potential (market rent) for these areas is estimated at CHF 270.-/sqm.

The current rent for the indoor and outdoor parking spaces is respectively at CHF 150.-/month and CHF 135.-/month. The market potential (market rent) is estimated at CHF 160.-/month and CHF 130.-/month.

 

In summary, the market rental revenue for the property is estimated at CHF 10’248’195.-, which corresponds to ca. -4% of the current rental revenue at CHF CHF 10’682’003.-. The current vacancy is at 1.1% representing CHF 120’630.-. This corresponds to a office area of ca. 285 sqm, ca. 427 sqm of storage area, 26 indoor parking spaces, 30 outdoor parking spaces, and 4 parking spaces for motorcycles.

Wüest Dimensions - Business intelligence by Wüest Partner

   

This valuation takes into consideration that the re-letting periods have been set to 24 months for inital vacancy. The structural vacancy rate is set at 4.5% overall, with 3% for the restaurant and hotel areas, 4% for the office areas, 10% for the storage areas, 5% for the indoor parking, 10% for the outdoor parking spaces and 15% for the motorcycle parking spaces.

 

Running and maintenance costs 

 

According to the operating cost accounts for the past 4 periods, the property revenue was between CHF 8’560’600.- and CHF 10’232’000.-, which corresponds to a increase of +19.5%. Nevertheless, significant losses were recorded in 2010 due to tenant’s disagreement to the service cost statements. Thus, the actual collected revenue was only in average CHF 9’334’500.- for the last 4 years.

Regarding past service costs statements, agreements and settlements were reached and signed with the tenants, granting rent-free period as compensation. Subject to the ground leaseholder’s information, this situation shouldn’t be of consequence in the accounts starting the 1.1.2012 as service costs are estimated now at 35.-/sqm for all 6 buildings, with CHF 56.15/sqm for the CTN 14. Therefore, the ground leaseholder only assumes a part of the operating costs:

- the insurance premium

- the administration and management cost, estimated at 4% of the building’s revenue

- property taxes: 2.0‰ of the tax value, capitalized with the rent revenues after deduction of the ground lease rent at 6.13% (average of the last 5 years of the allowed rate in 2011 by the “AFC - Administration Fiscale Cantonale” for commercial real estate located in other construction zoning than “zone de construction 1 & 2”)

- other expenses estimated at 1.5% of the building’s revenue

 

According to Wüest Partner’s benchmarks, the operating costs are estimated at CHF 1’040’000.-corresponding to 10% of the market rental revenue.

 

The annuity for the upkeep costs is estimated at ca. CHF 300’000.-, which represents CHF 8.70/sqm.

 

Refurbishment

 

The following repair costs are taken into account in the valuations for the years 1 -10. They are based on the CAPEX due diligence done by Knight Frank and verified by MIBAG, respectively A+W for the mechanical equipment. Not all repair suggestions could be verified during the survey. Furthermore the transformation of the fitness/sport area into office space in 2012 and the renovation of the stair case areas/toilets in 2021 were added by Wüest Partner.

 

2012: Total costs CHF 1’423’000

exterior repair costs CHF 305’000 (cleaning of photovoltaic panels, replacement flat roof CTN 10, replacement solar protection (fabric awnings), repair ladder safety)interior repair costs CHF 240’000 (security and emergency concepts for escape routes, electrical supply, fire protection & detection)

technical installations costs CHF 350’000 (replacement water cooling system (R22), replacement of air conditioning systems with R407C, replacement air handling system)

parking space repair costs CHF 128’000 (repair concrete surfaces in garage and outside, pavement walkway hotel)

transformation fitness area into office space costs CHF 400’000 (suggestion Wüest Partner)

 

> The facades should be cleaned in the very near future. The costs for the facade cleaning should be divided over 5 years and are to be made part of the service charge. As the facades should be cleaned on a regular basis, the charges would be carried by the tenant.

2013: Total costs CHF 232’000exterior repair costs CHF 158’000 (replacement solar protection (fabric awnings), replacement failed window units, replacement refrigeration system with R22 for cold rooms)parking space repair costs CHF 33’000 (repair concrete surfaces)

 

2014: Total costs CHF 396’000technical installations costs CHF 338’000 (emergency lighting system, elevators, repair heat coils rooftop air handling plant, replacement of air conditioning systems with R407C, R22)parking space repair costs CHF 58’000 (repair concrete surfaces in garage and outside, pavement) > Starting in 2014 the elevators should be changed and adapted to the new norms.

Yield-Risk-Profile

  

+ The building benefits from a favourable micro-location for offices/laboratories uses with excellent transport facilities in for a non-central business location.

+ The property offers many outdoor and indoor parking spaces and other facilities (restaurant, hotel)

+ The property is home to 6 major tenants representing 76.1% of the total revenue, with a mid-term, long-term contract

+/- The property is in a good overall state of repair and yet without any major capital expenditures since completion, several investments will need to be made in the years to come.

- Office use restiction for industrial, commercial or coequal use

- In the coming years, the property will face higher competition as similar projects aiming the same end-users are about to be launched in ZIPLO area and with the future development project ‘Quartier des Cherpines-Charrotons’ located on the other side of the route de Base.

 

Consequently, a market- and risk-adjusted discount rate of 5% has been applied to the valuation.

 

Special risks

  

This valuation doesn’t take into consideration an increase of the ground lease rent that the State of Geneva could implicate as more than 1/2 of the buildings are rented to third parties. The ground lease rent increase could represent ca. CHF 40’000 (the difference between CHF 410’000 and CHF 370’000) ; as foreseen in the agreement of the ground lease.

 

Dated the 13.3.2008, the ground leaseholder signed a contract with SIG (Services Industriel de Genève) with the following objectives:

-takeover and replacement of the heating installations

-financing of the replacement work

-use and maintenance of the installations

-supply of the complete heating needed for the CTN

The ground leaseholder charges the tenants the entire costs related to this contract with SIG, including all costs in relation to the replacement of the installations and their financing.

This valuation doesn’t take into consideration an eventual complaint from tenants for the unduly collected sums concerning the heating costs statements nor for the part that should be assumed in the future by the owner for the replacement costs of the installations.

 

Ground lease

  

Property owner: State of Geneva

Ground lease holder (lessee) : Eldista GmbH – ground lease N° 11095 in Plan-les-Ouates

 

The State of Geneva granted a servitude to the société Liaisons Electroniques-Mécaniques LEM SA on 22.7.1986 and 6.8.1986. The Eldista GmbH currently owns the easement in form of a ground lease N° 11095

in the Plan-les-Ouates community according to the ground lease transfer dating from 15.3.2005 and 24.3.2005 between CTN, Centre de Technologies Nouvelles SA, Eldista GmbH and the State of Geneva.

 

The purpose is as followed: The ground leaseholder’s company is allowed to use the granted land for a building park reserved for industrial or commercial businesses, which have been agreed upon beforehand by the Fondation pour les terrains industriels de Genève (FTI), who acts on behalf of the State of Geneva.

 

The ground lease has been established for a period of 90 years from 1.7.1986 until 1.7.2076. The ground lease is renewable for further periods of max. 30 years each given a 5 year notice. It is assumed in this valuation that the ground lease will be renewed ad eternum.

At the start of the contract, the annual rent for the ground lease was set at CHF 8.-/sqm. It’s stipulated that a 100% increase could be achieved on this amount, given that the ground lease holder rents a net area greater than 50% to a third party.

On the 15.3.2005 and 24.3.2005, the ground lease contract was modified, and because the whole building is let to third parties, the annual rent of the ground lease was raised by 80% over a period of 8 years from CHF 202’381.80 to CHF 369’566.40.

As of 1.7.2011 and until 30.6.2012: CHF 16.80/sqma or CHF 369’566.40

At this time, the ground lease rent would be indexed in accordance with the ground lease clauses and terms until the end of the 5 years period, ca. 30.06.2016.

It was agreed upon between parties that this rent increase is made at a rate of only 80% over this period of 8 years. Nevertheless, the State of Geneva would have the right to increase the ground lease rent to 100% after the 9th year, depending on the economic situation of the ground lease company. In this case, the situation would be examined a year before echelon period is up.

 

The compensation for damages at the expiration of the contract is regulated as follows:

In the case, that the ground leaseholder refuses to renew the ground lease, he must bear the expenses without compensation for the removal of the construction and installations on the land. The State of Geneva has the right to acquire the buildings at their construction/real value after deduction of outdatedness.

In the case that the property owner refuses to renew the ground lease, he must compensate a maximum equal to the construction/real value of the buildings after deduction of outdatedness.

 

The State of Geneva has a legal right of first refusal. However the ground leaser holder’s legal right of first refusal is repealed by the notation in the land register of plot N° 11138 as well as in the ground lease sheet N° 11095. The legal mortgage, equals to three times the annual rent of the ground lease, is revised at the same time and to the same conditions as the ground lease rent. The legal mortgage was set to CHF 857’922.- at the time of the ground lease contract last modification and corresponds to three times the ground lease rent adopted in 2007/2008. Keeping in account that the current ground lease rent is being raised to CHF 369’566.40, an adaptation of the legal mortgage to CHF 1’108’699.- could be proposed by the State of Geneva.

 

In addition, a ground lease contract clause requires the complete redemption of debt guaranteed by real estate securities at least three years before the expiration of the ground lease.

Market value (100%) per 31.12.2019: CHF 140,360,000

 

The following text refers to the valuation with site visit in 2011 (except for the «Makro location» and «Comments/Remarks»)

 

Update as at 31.12.19

 

Preamble: the space previously occupied by CryoSave, under police investigation, has been released by end of November (based on our information). Therefore, we do not take into account any extraordinary vacancy in that respect.

 

The current rental income as at 31.12.19 is CHF 10,805,937.-, which represents a decrease of -0.2% compared to the last valuation. It can be explained by some tenant leavings (Answer Solutions SA, Cryo Save AG, Fokeladeh Samir, Geneuro and Union Horlogère SA), a decrease of some tenant rents (NovImmune SA and So Be Cosmetics SA) uncompensated by new lease contracts (Cramatte Cedric and Illine Daria) and the increase of some tenant rents (DFI services SA, Emaco SA, GFI International SA, Lemsys SA and Prexton Therapeutics).

The vacancy rate has increased from 2.5% to 6.2% of the current rental income which represents CHF 669,413.-.

The market rent has increased by +0.1% and is explained by the slight increase of the lettable area (34,694 sqm to 34,785 sqm).

Running costs have been updated, in particular for property taxes. The tax value has been estimated by capitalizing the rent revenue after deduction of the ground lease rent at 5.03% (average of the last 5 years of the allowed rate in 2019 by the “AFC - Administration Fiscale Cantonale” for commercial real estate located in other construction zoning than “zone de construction 1 & 2”).

Repair costs annuity has increased compared to the last valuation due to the aging of the building

uncompensated by the capex paid in 2019.

For the first year, the forecasted capex has been adjusted from CHF 1,470,000.- to CHF 1,426,000.-. The land rent remains unchanged at CHF 277,125.-.

The discount rate remains unchanged at 4.9% in order to reflect the yields/returns demanded by the market for such properties.

 

Consequently, the market value as at 31.12.19 of this property is estimated at CHF 140,360,000.-, which represents a decrease of -2.2% compared to the last valuation.

 

Update as at 31.12.18

 

The current rental income as at 31.12.18 is CHF 10,827,773.-, which represents an increase of +0.2% compared to the last valuation. It can be explained by new lease contracts signed for Ansura Associates SA and Finastra Switzerland GmbH (Fusion ex. D+H) and the increase of premises for ObsEVA, Factor Lead, Plair SA and SGS M-Scan SA uncompensated by the leaving of BinC Industries SA, Cyrus.ch and Omac, the release of premises from Answer Solutions and Union Horlogères and the decrease of the rent of Epic Restaurant. The vacancy rate has decreased from 2.8% to 2.5% of the current rental income which represents CHF 275,231.-.

The market rent has decreased by -0.7% due to the decrease of the market rent of office premises from CHF 280.-/sqm per year to CHF 270.-/sqm per year.

Running costs have been updated, in particular for property taxes. The tax value has been estimated by capitalizing the rent revenue after deduction of the ground lease rent at 5.18% (average of the last 5 years of the allowed rate in 2018 by the “AFC - Administration Fiscale Cantonale” for commercial real estate located in other construction zoning than “zone de construction 1 & 2”).

Repair costs annuity has increased compared to the last valuation due to the aging of the building uncompensated by the capex paid in 2018.

For 1st year, the forecasted capex has increased from CHF 547,000.- to CHF 1,470,000.-.

The land rent has been updated from CHF 370,000.- to CHF 277,125.- due to adjustment in the index.

The discount rate remains unchanged at 4.9% in order to reflect the yields/returns demanded by the market for such properties.

 

Consequently, the market value as at 31.12.18 of this property is estimated at CHF 143,470,000.-, which represents an increase of +0.3% compared to the last valuation.

Wüest Partner was commissioned by Eldista GmbH to value briefly (indication of value) the property in question as at 1st of January 2020. The property will be valued according to the accounting standards of IFRS and to the definition of market value from “International Valuation Standards Committe” (IVSC), which reads as follows :“Market value is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.”

Assumption

 

The valuations are based on the following general assumptions:

The property has been appraised as continuation scenario. That means, that no change of use scenarios have been calculated as well that would result to a higher value.

● A one-period DCF model was adopted. The valuation period extends for 100 years from the valuation date, with an implicit residual value in the 11th period.

 

● Discounting is based on a risk-adjusted real interest rate. Rates are determined individually for each property on the basis of appropriate benchmarks derived from arm’s-length transactions. They may be broken down as follows: risk-free interest rate + property risk (immobility of capital) + premium for macro-location + premium for micro-location depending on use + premium for property quality and income risk + any other specific premiums. – Unless otherwise stated, the valuations assume 1% annual inflation for income and all expenditure. Where a nominal discount rate is applied, this is adjusted accordingly.

 

● Credit risks posed by specific tenants are not explicitly factored into the valuation.

 

● Allowance is made for the specific indexing provisions in existing leases. An indexing factor of 80% (Swiss average) is assumed for the period following lease expiry.

● For existing tenancies, the timing of individual payments is assumed to comply with the terms of the lease.Following lease expiry, cash flows for commercial premises are taken to be quarterly in advance, for housing monthly in advance.

 

● In terms of running costs, entirely separate service charge accounts are assumed, with no tenancy-related ancillary costs to be borne by the owner.

 

● The maintenance (repair and upkeep) costs were calculated by means of a life cycle analysis of the individual building elements. The building structure's remaining lifespan was estimated and periodic refurbishments modelled on the basis of the general condition of the fabric as determined during the property inspection. Appropriate annual reserves were calculated accordingly and plausibility tested using comparables and Wüest & Partner's own benchmarks. The calculation factors in 100% of repair costs in the first 10 years; the

 

proportion applied from year 11 onwards is limited to the value-preserving investments (recoverable share).

Disclaimer

 

The commissioned valuation and, in particular, the forecasts presented therein were prepared by Wüest & Partner AG to the best of its knowledge and with due observance of current professional standards. The valuation is based on:

● site inspection (see list of documents);

● the documentation provided by the client, the absolute correctness of which is assumed;

● the relevant experience of Wüest & Partner AG in this field.

 

Wüest & Partner did not investigate any legal issues surrounding the properties. Nor did it examine any rent-law or rent-control issues; in particular the landlord assures that no federal, cantonal or municipal restrictions apply.

 

In the documentation provided byEldista GmbH, floor spaces were estimated by the propertymanager. On the visit the lettable areas (main effective area) have been verified as good as possible by Wüest & Partner. Given that fact the accuracy of square-metre data could not be guaranteed by Wüest & Partner.

 

The valuation was performed with reference to a specific valuation date and may be affected by subsequent events for which no allowance can be made at the present time. A revaluation shall become necessary should any such events occur.

 

Value and price may diverge. No allowance can be made in this valuation for any circumstances affecting the price.

 

The valuation was performed by Wüest & Partner AG independently and neutrally in conformity with its business policies. No conflicts of interest of any kind exist. The valuation was carried out solely for those purposes specified above; Wüest & Partner shall accept no liability in respect of third parties other than that mentioned above.

Method

 

The valuation of the main property uses the discounted cash-flow (DCF) method. With this method, the Current Market Value of a property is determined as the total of all projected future net earnings (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) discounted to present-day equivalents. These net earnings are discounted individually for each property with due allowance for specific opportunities and threats, and with

adjustment in line with market conditions and risks. All projected cash flows are presented to ensure maximum transparency.

Glossary

 

 

Actual Rental Income: The actual rental income represents the target rental income minus other losses of income.

 

Annuity: In the portfolio report, an annuity is used for a constant value over a given period(s). The annuity of the values for the first ten periods is abbreviated by “Ann. 1-10” and, corresponding to that, with “Ann. 11” for the eleventh period.

 

Benchmarks: Benchmarks represent a reference value. The portfolio report shows the difference in percentage from the Swiss median (50% percentile) of the average rental income per square meter (per usage type: residential, office, retail and industry/trade).

 

Budget: The budget contains projected values for costs and revenues, according to the information provided by the owner or the property manager. See also statements.

 

Calculated end of contract (also called «end» in the report): The calculated end is the time difference in years as of the valuation date. Real options, early breaks, as well as the next termination dates and periods of notice for all uses are also taken into account in the calculation, if they are actually used in the valuation. The calculated end can differ due to the different definition of WAULT (see also definition of WAULT).

 

Capital growth return: The change in value (capital growth) is primarily caused by market developments and the investments made in the given period. Capital growth return = market value (end) - market value (start) - capital expenditure + capital revenue/market value (start) + capital expenditure. See Swiss Valuation Standards (SVS), 2017.

 

Cashflow: In general, a cashflow is a financial stream of either income or expenses.

 

Cash flow yield: Cash flow/market value (start date) + capital expenditure. See Swiss Valuation Standards (SVS), 2017.

 

Community Type: A summary of the community grouping produced by the Federal Office for Statistics (BfS).

 

Condition: Condition represents a qualitative assessment of the condition of the outer shell as well as the condition of the inside as well as services of the property. It is deduced in the quality profile of the property.

 

Condominium Ownership: Condominium ownership is a special kind of co-ownership. It is the co-ownership share of a plot, which gives the co-owner the special right of sole use and internal fit-out of distinct parts of a building (Civil Code Art. 712a-712t)

 

Contract (as % of income) Fix: «Contract Fix» represents the percentage of expected total future rental income contractually secured at the present time.

 

Co-ownership: Should several persons possess a unit (property) in fractions and without external divisions, they are classified as co-owners (Civil Code Art.646-651).

 

 

 

Current: Values valid as per the valuation date (date of the rent roll).

 

Discount Rate: The discount rate is the percentage rate used to discount all cash flows. The level of the chosen discount rate (per cashflow or valuation) reflects the risk assessment.

 

Distribution by Percentile: Summary A shows which revenue share per usage type (residential, office, retail, business) of the portfolio lies in each percentile segment.

 

E-Notation: The scientific notation used in Wüest Dimensions is the exponential expression (for base 10), for thousands: Xe3, for millions: Xe6 and for billions: Xe9 (X stands for any number).

 

Gross Yield: Two types of gross yields are shown: The current gross yield is defined as the proportion of today’s (current) target rental income as a share of market value. The gross annuity yield, the second measurement, is the rental income annuity as a percentage of the market value.

 

Ground Lease Income/Costs: Ground lease income or costs include income or costs arising from a ground lease contract (in accordance with Civil Code Art. 779 a. ff)

 

Income Losses: Income losses reflect the sum of all reductions to the target rental income (e.g. vacancy).

 

Lease (as % of income) + Option: «+Option» represents the percentage of the total rental income represented by «Contract Fix» plus the contractually guaranteed rental income, which is secured by means of a real or tenant-side-only contract renewal option.

 

Lease (as % of income) indexed: «Indexed» represents the average degree of indexation of the contracted rental positions.

 

Location Quality: The location quality of a property is a measure of the quality of the location. It is derived by combining both the macro location rating (location of the municipality within Switzerland) and the micro location rating (location of the property within the municipality).

 

Macro location: The macro location represents the quality of the local real estate market for the corresponding municipality. The basis for this measurement is a comprehensive, use-related municipal rating by Wüest Partner.

 

Maintenance Costs: The maintenance costs consist of the costs for upkeep and repair.

 

Maintenance or Upkeep costs (M): The upkeep costs are also referred to as “normal maintenance”. Upkeep measures include all measures undertaken to ensure the continued use of the property (e.g. service work, minor repairs).

Market Matrix: The market matrix displays all properties in the portfolio according to the location quality (X-axis) and the property quality (Y-axis) depicted. The matrix is divided into nine segments (I to IX). If a property is located in the segment I, for example, this is classified as a top or prime property.

 

Market Value (MV): The market value is the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

 

Median: The median refers to a statistical measurement. It divides a number of values into two halves. 50% of the values are lower than the median and 50% are greater the median (median = 50% percentile).

 

Micro Location: The micro location describes the position of the property within the community. It is determined by factors such as access to public transport, topography of the plot (e.g. south-facing), shopping availability, etc. The assessments are recorded in the quality profile of the property.

 

MIRR – Modified internal rate of return: IRR is also known as the internal rate of return. In Wüest Dimensions, the modified IRR (MIRR) is being utilised. The MIRR is an indicator that reflects the attractiveness of an initial investment in view of future cash flows. In investment planning, the MIRR can be used to calculate various scenarios. In the DCF calculation, the MIRR is understood as a weighted discount rate or a backward calculation of the discount rate. The MIRR is currently regarded as the best method of calculating the IRR and also takes into account the conclusiveness and payment modality of all present values in the DCF calculation.

 

Net Yield: The net yield is the ratio of the net income annuity to the calculated market value of the property.

 

Nominal: Cash flows and values that are reported in nominal terms are not adjusted for inflation.

 

Overall Coefficient: The overall coefficient for each property is derived from the weighted average of the quality coefficients for the macro location, micro location, condition, standard, and usability.

 

Percentiles: Distribution indicators, which segment a range of values. The 50-percent-percentile marks the border between the higher-priced and the lower priced halves of values. Correspondingly, the 10-percent percentile marks the border between the lowest 10 percent values and the remaining values.

 

Period: The valuation period is divided into a certain number of equally large units of time (usually one year). Such a unit of time is called a period.

 

Portfolio: A collection of several property valuations is summarised in a portfolio.

 

Potential: The anticipated long-term and sustainable development of the revenues or costs is projected using an assessment of the estimated market value or “potential” for both revenues and costs (particularly rent income).

 

Projected Rental Income (Projected): The target or projected rental income is the sum of all rental income (including vacancies).

 

Property Accounts: The property accounts include the historical cost and revenue values as supplied by the owners or property management.

Property Quality: The property quality is a measurement of the quality of a property taking into account the property’s condition, prevailing standards, usability and usage-mix. The information required to determine the quality of the property is taken from the quality profile of the property.

 

Property Type (P-type): The following property types are recognised: residential property, residential/commercial property, commercial property (solely for commercial use), special property, ground lease property and building land.

 

Quality Coefficient: A market-value-weighted-average of the corresponding quality factor for each property. Factors include: macro location, micro location, condition, standard and usability.

 

Real: Real values shown are adjusted for inflation, in other words, deflated. Therein the nominal measurement or value is divided by a price index (e.g. CPI).

 

Region (Properties by -): Switzerland is divided by Wüest Partner into eight monitoring regions. This regionalisation is again based on a regional division of Switzerland – the so-called 106 MS regions – which was undertaken by the Federal Office for Statistics (BfS).

 

Rental Income: The rental income shows the current income generated by the letting of rental units and for each usage type i.e. residential, office, retail, industry/trade, special uses and other uses. The annuity is expressed as CHF per m2

 

Repair Costs (R): The repair costs are also known as “extraordinary maintenance”. They cover all investments that fully replace significant building components and/or are accompanied by a marked qualitative improvement. These may include value-adding investments.

 

Running or Operating Costs: Running or Operating costs are those costs carried by the owner of the property, incurred during operation and not (fully) passed on to the tenants (e.g. insurance premiums, administrative costs).

 

Sensitivity analysis (approximate): The deviating market values in the sensitivity analysis are derived approximately using a simplified model calculation; these market values may therefore differ from a detailed DCF valuation.

 

Sole Ownership: The owner of the property is a single private or legal entity.

 

Standard: The Standard represents the qualitative assessment of a building reflecting the existing spatial conditions, the materialisation and installed building services. The standard is a part of the quality profile.

Description

 

 

Commission

 

 

Wüest Partner was commissioned by Optibase RE1 to value the property in question as per the stipulated day of valuation for accounting reasons. The current valuation is set up as a desktop valuation without performing a site visit or detailed surveys in relation of the condition and standard of the building. Furthermore the effective letting situation has not been verified by a site visit and is therefore based on the rent roll provided by the client as well as the provided lease contracts.

 

Wüest Partner already prepared a valuation report as of January 1, 2013, of April 1, 2020, as well as of February 1, 2021 on which the present valuation is based. The property has not been visited since the 17.12.2012. In the current valuation the following sections have been adopted from the previous valuation report: micro location, building/surrounding area, building fabric/condition, pictures.

 

The following main assumptions have to be considered:
The current valuation is based on the valuation report performed as of 1-1-2013, 1-4-2020 and 1-2-2021
The rent roll provided by the client assumed to be valid as at the date of valuation.
CAPEX according to 2022 budget.

Comments update 1 February 2021

 

Explanation of relevant changes within the valuation:

 

    •  Area: no changes

    •  Current effective income: Increase due to new lease contracts and reduction of vacancy;

    •  New lease contracts: Several new lease contracts for office, commercial, storage and parking: TPA Transporte Panatlantic AG (annual rent: CHF 11,300); Nachmieter 24 GmbH (annual rent: CHF 24,880); Berg Elektro (annual rent: CHF 5,880); Clavis Treuhand Maksimovic (annual rent: CHF 6,840); Jonathan hare goods and handcrafted (annual rent: CHF 12,600);

    •  Current vacancy: Vacant office space of 847 sqm, vacant commercial space of 624 sqm, 34 vacant parking lots;

    • Structural vacancy: unchanged at 7% due to high supply rate of office and retail space in Rümlang, 10% for parking due to the persistently high vacancy rate;

    • Market rent: Due to the general price development of office spaces in the municipality of Rümlang and the persistent vacancy rate in the building, the market rent for office space has been decreased to CHF 140 per sqm.

    • Existing early break options: Bventures GmbH: Early break as of 31.01.2023 with a notice period of 6 months; Jonathan hare goods and handcrafted: Early break as of 30.04.2023 with a notice period of 6 months;

    • Operating costs: No significant changes;

    • Maintenance costs: No significant changes;

    • CAPEX: Investments of around CHF 330,000 have been made in 2021, mainly for splitting/renovation works. In 2022, a reduction of CAPEX is expected due to the lower costs for the renovation of the roof;

    • Discount rate: Reduced due to current yield expectations of real estate investors;

 

Conclusion: Slight increase in value due to higher effective income, lower vacancy rate, recent investments (CAPEX) and reduced discount rate.

Wüest Dimensions - Business intelligence by Wüest Partner

 

The number of people working in the industrial or service sector (full time equivalent) was 5,161 in 2018, 66.7% being employed in the service sector (Switzerland: 75.1%). Since 2016, the employment figure for Rümlang has increased by 1.8%, though the number of jobs in the industrial sector has declined. Between 2019 and 2020, the region of Glattal-Furttal, which Rümlang is part of, has shown a net inward corporate migration, i.e. fewer companies moved out of the area than arrived from other regions.

 

Office premises

The average asking rent (net) for office space in Rümlang is CHF 163 per sqm p.a. This value is below the Swiss average of CHF 237 per sqm p.a.

Overall, the urban agglomeration Zürich provides some 15,531,000 sqm of office space (including 85,000 sqm in Rümlang). The volume of new-build office development (in relation to the existing stock) over the last few years in the urban agglomeration Zürich has been par for Switzerland.

 

Retail premises

The average asking rent (net) for retail space in Rümlang is CHF 187 per sqm p.a. This value is below the Swiss average of CHF 241 per sqm p.a.

Overall, the urban agglomeration Zürich provides some 5,394,000 sqm of retail space (including 30,000 sqm in Rümlang). This is equivalent to some 3.9 sqm retail space per resident of urban agglomeration, a figure more or less in line with the Swiss average (4.2 sqm per resident). The volume of new-build retail development (in relation to the existing stock) over the last few years in the urban agglomeration Zürich has been above par for Switzerland.

 

Conclusion

According to Wüest Partner AG’s location and market rating, Rümlang ranks as a municipality with a very good location quality for office premises (4.6 points) and an excellent location quality for retail premises (4.7 points on a scale from 1 [municipality with an extremely poor location quality] to 5 [municipality with an excellent location quality]).

 

Micro location

 

 

The property is located in the industrial area Riedmatt, which connects the north and out of the village Rümlang. The industrial quarter profits directly from the neighboring communities - the city of Zurich and Kloten intercontinental airport. Numerous industrial, commercial and service companies are located in the neighborhood. The property itself is located at the full front of the busy Riedmattstrasse and thus has good exposure to passing traffic. Within the local vicinity the general appearance of the local environment can be described as good. Local occupiers include Coop, Denner, Burger King and Top CC. The area will benefit from a new facility which is currently under construction. The situation of the property will be less influenced by passing pedestrians but rather than traffic. 100m from the property there is a bus stop providing services to the train station in a few minutes. The nearest highway exit is about five kilometers away providing good access to the A1 and A51 and the airport being just ten minutes. In summary, the micro-location with respect to the relevant uses

 

are referred to as being between average and good.

 

Building/Surrounding area

 

 

The present review concerns: Plot No. 1688 with a plot area of 5,090 m2 and commercial building with underground car parking.

 

In the land register various easements are recorded. Noteworthy is the following:

 

•   At best, the visitor parking maybe eliminated at its own cost and without compensation for an expansion of Riedmattstrasse. (Assumption: not relevant to assessment)

•   The plot is no. is 4778. Compensation by way of assignment from the neighboring plot 4779 (assumption: not relevant to assessment)

•   Continuity and shared the heating system: The 4779 heating system located on the property may be shared. All costs are allocated according to energy consumption.

 

The building is parallel to Riedmattstrasse which lies to the north. Both the main entrance and the access roads to the garage and the loading and unloading area are accessed from Riedmattstrasse. The property consists of five floors and two underground floors, the top two floors are in a H-shaped layout providing good natural light to all areas. The lower floors are made of reinforced concrete and masonry with the upper floors of reinforced concrete frame. The floors are connected by a central service core. This includes the two passenger lifts and sanitary facilities. Additionally, there are two service cores at the east and west at the front of the building each providing staircase access. Four goods lifts with up to 5000 kg open up next to the passenger elevators.

 

The building includes office, industrial, warehouse and showroom. The two upper floors are mainly for office use while the lower floors have a greater ceiling height and are mainly used for commercial purposes. The ground floor retail units are of a good size and make ideal show room accommodation. Covered ramps to the car parking are located at the front of the building with two ramps on either side to the rear for delivery (one to enter and one to exit). The basement provides sufficient car parking available over 3 split levels.

 

Building fabric/Condition

 

 

The property was constructed in 1989 and the façade consists of concrete with sections of the first floor façade having sheet metal panels coverings, one of which is missing from the south elevation at the exit of the loading bay. Both the entrance and exits to the covered loading bay has some minor damage to the ceiling caused by high vehicles. Some areas of the concrete façade are in need of repair and should be carried out within approximately the next five years. The windows frames are made of a wood-metal mix and the double glazing was replaced in 2002. The roof is flat and mainly gravel covered with one extensively planted terraced are above the second floor level. The roof is currently undergoing repair works. Overall, the property is in a good condition and is being regularly maintained. A new heating boiler was installed in 2010, the heat being distributed via radiators. A ventilation/air conditioning system was installed for the top floor office space in 2009. This is because of noise pollution from the air traffic. The ground floor showroom areas have their own individual tenant fit-out and the motor cycle showroom has a work shop area with all major installations usually available for auto repair work. Currently, the ventilation system is used only in the garage area.

Context

 

 

Order

 

Wüest Partner was commissioned by Optibase RE1 to value the property in question as per the stipulated day of valuation for accounting reasons.

 

The valuations comply with national and international standards. These standards also accord with the reporting guidelines commonly used in Switzerland. The valuation focuses on the calculation of the market value. In the absence of any official definitions of market value in Switzerland, the concept used in standard European valuation textbooks is adopted. Property values are thus determined in accordance with the guidelines of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and TEGOVA (The European Group of Valuers' Associations).

 

In accordance to these regulations the market value is defined as «the estimated amount for which a property should exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing, wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion.»

 

Value and price may diverge. No allowance can be made in this valuation for any circumstances affecting the price.

 

Assumption

 

The valuation is based on the current letting situation as disclosed in the relevant rent-roll prepared by the charged management. The projected rental income reflects the relevant terms and conditions of ongoing rental contracts as well as the general regulations of the rental law and the generally applied business principles. The estimation of the rental values is determined individually for all separate letting units on the basis of the prevailing local and regional market conditions.

The projection of the running and maintenance cost is determined on the basis of the property accounts of previous operations and validated with benchmarks and comparable information of the extensive database by Wüest Partner.

The expected capital expenditures for preserving the building and it’s structure were calculated by means of a lifecycle analysis of the individual building elements. The building structure's remaining lifespan was estimated and periodic refurbishments modelled on the basis of the general condition of the fabric as determined during the property inspection. Appropriate annual reserves were calculated accordingly and plausibility tested using comparables and Wüest Partner's own benchmarks. The calculation factors in 100% of repair costs in the first 10 years; the proportion applied from year 11 onwards is limited to the value-preserving investments.

The relevant discount is based on a risk-adjusted interest rate. Rates are determined individually for each property on the basis of appropriate benchmarks derived from comparable transactions. Credit risks posed by specific tenants are , if not otherwise stated, not explicitly factored into the valuation Inflation is respected with an annual rate of 0.5%. Specific adjustment clauses in the rental contracts are reflected individually.

 

Disclaimer

 

The commissioned valuation – and, in particular, the forecasts presented therein – were prepared by Wüest Partner to the best of its knowledge and with due observance of current professional standards. The valuation was performed with reference to the specified valuation date and may be affected by subsequent events for which no allowance can be made at the present time. A revaluation shall become necessary should any such events occur.

The valuation is based on the disclosed documentation provided by the landlord or it’s agents and listed in the documentation summary. A site visit has been held in the course of the first recognition of the property.

 

Nothing in the Report should be construed as advice to proceed or not to proceed with a transaction and/or any investment or provision of finance or the consideration of terms on which to so proceed. The scope of this Report is not nor does it purport to be a confirmation or complete review of all matters of a legal, technical or real estate relevant nature which may be of interest or concern to a potential purchaser and financing parties considering or evaluating whether to proceed with a transaction or the consideration or terms on which to so proceed.

In consideration of our agreement to make a copy of the Report available to you, you agree to treat the contents of the Report as confidential and not to distribute copies of the Report, or otherwise disseminate the contents of the Report, to any person without our prior written consent, with the exception of (a) disclosure on a confidential basis to such of your professional advisers, directors, officers, servants, employees and/or agents and members of the group of companies controlled by you who need to consider the matters set out in the Report (b) disclosure required by law in any jurisdiction, or (c) disclosure for regulatory purposes. We hereby confirm to have performed the valuation independently and neutrally in conformity with its business policies. It is addressed to Optibase RE1 and was carried out solely for those purposes specified above. No conflicts of interest of any kind exist. Wüest Partner shall accept no liability in respect of third parties other than that mentioned above.

 

Method

 

The valuation uses the discounted cash-flow (DCF) method. With this method, the current market value of a property is determined as the total of all projected future net income from ongoing operations discounted to present-day equivalents. No allowance is made for any possible transaction cost (such as taxes, charges or fees). Further valuation does not account for any taxation (except of mandatory property taxes) or interest cost. The net income of operations is discounted individually for each property with due allowance for specific opportunities and threats, and with adjustment in line with prevailing market conditions and risks. All projected cash flows are presented to ensure maximum transparency.

 

Wüest Partner applies a so-called two-period DCF model. The evaluation period extends to infinity, as of the date of valuation. The cash flow is shown explicitly in the first 10 periods. In addition, the exit value is applied in the following period, which represents all subsequent periods.

Glossary

 

 

Actual Rental Income: The actual rental income represents the target rental income minus other losses of income.

 

Annuity: In the portfolio report, an annuity is used for a constant value over a given period(s). The annuity of the values for the first ten periods is abbreviated by “Ann. 1-10” and, corresponding to that, with “Ann. 11” for the eleventh period.

 

Benchmarks: Benchmarks represent a reference value. The portfolio report shows the difference in percentage from the Swiss median (50% percentile) of the average rental income per square meter (per usage type: residential, office, retail and industry/trade).

 

Budget: The budget contains projected values for costs and revenues, according to the information provided by the owner or the property manager. See also statements.

 

Calculated end of contract (also called «end» in the report): The calculated end is the time difference in years as of the valuation date. Real options, early breaks, as well as the next termination dates and periods of notice for all uses are also taken into account in the calculation, if they are actually used in the valuation. The calculated end can differ due to the different definition of WAULT (see also definition of WAULT).

 

Capital growth return: The change in value (capital growth) is primarily caused by market developments and the investments made in the given period. Capital growth return = market value (end) - market value (start) - capital expenditure + capital revenue/market value (start) + capital expenditure. See Swiss Valuation Standards (SVS), 2017.

 

Cashflow: In general, a cashflow is a financial stream of either income or expenses.

 

Cash flow yield: Cash flow/market value (start date) + capital expenditure. See Swiss Valuation Standards (SVS), 2017.

 

Community Type: A summary of the community grouping produced by the Federal Office for Statistics (BfS).

 

Condition: Condition represents a qualitative assessment of the condition of the outer shell as well as the condition of the inside as well as services of the property. It is deduced in the quality profile of the property.

 

Condominium Ownership: Condominium ownership is a special kind of co-ownership. It is the co-ownership share of a plot, which gives the co-owner the special right of sole use and internal fit-out of distinct parts of a building (Civil Code Art. 712a-712t)

 

Contract (as % of income) Fix: «Contract Fix» represents the percentage of expected total future rental income contractually secured at the present time.

 

Co-ownership: Should several persons possess a unit (property) in fractions and without external divisions, they are classified as co-owners (Civil Code Art.646-651).

 

 

 

Current: Values valid as per the valuation date (date of the rent roll).

 

Discount Rate: The discount rate is the percentage rate used to discount all cash flows. The level of the chosen discount rate (per cashflow or valuation) reflects the risk assessment.

 

Distribution by Percentile: Summary A shows which revenue share per usage type (residential, office, retail, business) of the portfolio lies in each percentile segment.

 

E-Notation: The scientific notation used in Wüest Dimensions is the exponential expression (for base 10), for thousands: Xe3, for millions: Xe6 and for billions: Xe9 (X stands for any number).

 

Gross Yield: Two types of gross yields are shown: The current gross yield is defined as the proportion of today’s (current) target rental income as a share of market value. The gross annuity yield, the second measurement, is the rental income annuity as a percentage of the market value.

 

Ground Lease Income/Costs: Ground lease income or costs include income or costs arising from a ground lease contract (in accordance with Civil Code Art. 779 a. ff)

 

Income Losses: Income losses reflect the sum of all reductions to the target rental income (e.g. vacancy).

 

Lease (as % of income) + Option: «+Option» represents the percentage of the total rental income represented by «Contract Fix» plus the contractually guaranteed rental income, which is secured by means of a real or tenant-side-only contract renewal option.

 

Lease (as % of income) indexed: «Indexed» represents the average degree of indexation of the contracted rental positions.

 

Location Quality: The location quality of a property is a measure of the quality of the location. It is derived by combining both the macro location rating (location of the municipality within Switzerland) and the micro location rating (location of the property within the municipality).

 

Macro location: The macro location represents the quality of the local real estate market for the corresponding municipality. The basis for this measurement is a comprehensive, use-related municipal rating by Wüest Partner.

 

Maintenance Costs: The maintenance costs consist of the costs for upkeep and repair.

 

Maintenance or Upkeep costs (M): The upkeep costs are also referred to as “normal maintenance”. Upkeep measures include all measures undertaken to ensure the continued use of the property (e.g. service work, minor repairs).

Market Matrix: The market matrix displays all properties in the portfolio according to the location quality (X-axis) and the property quality (Y-axis) depicted. The matrix is divided into nine segments (I to IX). If a property is located in the segment I, for example, this is classified as a top or prime property.

 

Market Value (MV): The market value is the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

 

Median: The median refers to a statistical measurement. It divides a number of values into two halves. 50% of the values are lower than the median and 50% are greater the median (median = 50% percentile).

 

Micro Location: The micro location describes the position of the property within the community. It is determined by factors such as access to public transport, topography of the plot (e.g. south-facing), shopping availability, etc. The assessments are recorded in the quality profile of the property.

 

MIRR – Modified internal rate of return: IRR is also known as the internal rate of return. In Wüest Dimensions, the modified IRR (MIRR) is being utilised. The MIRR is an indicator that reflects the attractiveness of an initial investment in view of future cash flows. In investment planning, the MIRR can be used to calculate various scenarios. In the DCF calculation, the MIRR is understood as a weighted discount rate or a backward calculation of the discount rate. The MIRR is currently regarded as the best method of calculating the IRR and also takes into account the conclusiveness and payment modality of all present values in the DCF calculation.

 

Net Yield: The net yield is the ratio of the net income annuity to the calculated market value of the property.

 

Nominal: Cash flows and values that are reported in nominal terms are not adjusted for inflation.

 

Overall Coefficient: The overall coefficient for each property is derived from the weighted average of the quality coefficients for the macro location, micro location, condition, standard, and usability.

 

Percentiles: Distribution indicators, which segment a range of values. The 50-percent-percentile marks the border between the higher-priced and the lower priced halves of values. Correspondingly, the 10-percent percentile marks the border between the lowest 10 percent values and the remaining values.

 

Period: The valuation period is divided into a certain number of equally large units of time (usually one year). Such a unit of time is called a period.

 

Portfolio: A collection of several property valuations is summarised in a portfolio.

 

Potential: The anticipated long-term and sustainable development of the revenues or costs is projected using an assessment of the estimated market value or “potential” for both revenues and costs (particularly rent income).

 

Projected Rental Income (Projected): The target or projected rental income is the sum of all rental income (including vacancies).

 

Property Accounts: The property accounts include the historical cost and revenue values as supplied by the owners or property management.

Property Quality: The property quality is a measurement of the quality of a property taking into account the property’s condition, prevailing standards, usability and usage-mix. The information required to determine the quality of the property is taken from the quality profile of the property.

 

Property Type (P-type): The following property types are recognised: residential property, residential/commercial property, commercial property (solely for commercial use), special property, ground lease property and building land.

 

Quality Coefficient: A market-value-weighted-average of the corresponding quality factor for each property. Factors include: macro location, micro location, condition, standard and usability.

 

Real: Real values shown are adjusted for inflation, in other words, deflated. Therein the nominal measurement or value is divided by a price index (e.g. CPI).

 

Region (Properties by -): Switzerland is divided by Wüest Partner into eight monitoring regions. This regionalisation is again based on a regional division of Switzerland – the so-called 106 MS regions – which was undertaken by the Federal Office for Statistics (BfS).

 

Rental Income: The rental income shows the current income generated by the letting of rental units and for each usage type i.e. residential, office, retail, industry/trade, special uses and other uses. The annuity is expressed as CHF per m2

 

Repair Costs (R): The repair costs are also known as “extraordinary maintenance”. They cover all investments that fully replace significant building components and/or are accompanied by a marked qualitative improvement. These may include value-adding investments.

 

Running or Operating Costs: Running or Operating costs are those costs carried by the owner of the property, incurred during operation and not (fully) passed on to the tenants (e.g. insurance premiums, administrative costs).

 

Sensitivity analysis (approximate): The deviating market values in the sensitivity analysis are derived approximately using a simplified model calculation; these market values may therefore differ from a detailed DCF valuation.

 

Sole Ownership: The owner of the property is a single private or legal entity.

 

Standard: The Standard represents the qualitative assessment of a building reflecting the existing spatial conditions, the materialisation and installed building services. The standard is a part of the quality profile.
