(the “Company”)

Remuneration Policy for Company’s Office Holders

Introduction

1.1

Pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999 (hereafter – “the Companies Law”), on November 14, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a remuneration policy (hereafter – “the remuneration policy”) with respect to the terms of service and employment of Company’s office holders¹ (hereafter – “the office holders”), after discussing and considering the recommendations of the Company’s Remuneration Committee regarding this matter.

1.2

The provisions of the remuneration policy shall be subject to the provisions of any cogent law applicable to the Company and its office holders in any territory.

1.3

The underlying principles and purposes of the Remuneration Policy are as follows: (a) promoting the Company’s goals, its work plan and its policy for the long-term; (b) remunerating and providing incentives to office holders, while considering the risks that the Company’s activities involve; (c) adjusting the remuneration package to the size of the Company and the nature and scope of its activities; (d) creating incentives that are suitable to Company’s office holders by remunerating those entitled for remuneration under the Remuneration Policy in accordance with their positions, areas of responsibility and contribution to the development of the Company’s business, the promotion of its targets and the maximization of profits in the short and long-term, taking into account, among other things, the need to recruit and retain qualified, highly-skilled officers in a global and competitive market; and (e) adjusting the remuneration of office holders to the contribution of the office holder to the achievement of the Company’s goals and maximization of its profits.

1.4

This Remuneration Policy is a multi-annual policy that will be effective for a period of three years from the date of its approval, in accordance with Section 267A(c) of the Companies Law. This policy shall be brought forward for re-approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the general meeting of its shareholders (at the recommendation of the Company’s Remuneration Committee) after three years have elapsed since the date of approval thereof and so forth, unless any changes need to be made to the remuneration policy in accordance with the law and/or in accordance with the Company’s needs.

1.5

Without derogating from the provisions set out in Section 1.4 above, the Company’s Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors shall check, from time to time, whether the remuneration that is granted under this policy, does, indeed, comply with the terms of this policy and the parameters set therein for each Company office holder.

1.6

This remuneration policy is based, among other things, on the Company’s assessments as to the competitive environment in which it operates and the challenge it faces in recruiting and retaining high-quality officers in such an environment; it is also based on employment terms generally accepted in public companies operating in the Company’s area of activity and on existing employment agreements between the Company and its office holder, which – in order to remove any doubt – this policy cannot change.

The remuneration policy

2.1

Components of the remuneration policy

In accordance with the Company’s remuneration policy, the remuneration of the Company’s office holders shall be based on all or some of the following components:

2.1.1

Basic salary component ²– basic salary/monthly consultation fees;

2.1.2

Social and related benefits - social benefits as prescribed by law (pension savings, contributions towards severance pay, contributions towards training fund, vacation pay, sick leave, recreation pay, etc.) and related benefits, such as company vehicle/vehicle maintenance, telephone expenses, meals at the workplace, gifts on public holidays, etc.

The meaning of the term “office holder” is as defined in the Companies Law, i.e., general manager, chief business manager, deputy general manager, vice-general manager, any person filling any of these positions in the Company even if he holds a different title, and any other manager directly subordinate to the general manager.

Whenever the term “basic salary” is used in this remuneration policy, it refers to the “gross” monthly salary of that office holder, excluding any social benefits and related benefits). Whenever the term “annual basis salary” is used, it means the basic salary for the month of December in the relevant year times 12

2.1.3

Variable cash remuneration (bonus) – short and medium-term remuneration, which includes annual bonuses, which are based on results and achievement of targets. The Company may also determine that a certain office holder will be paid discretionary annual bonuses, taking into account his/her contribution to the Company and the restrictions placed under this policy.

2.1.4

Variable equity-based remuneration – share-based payment or another long-term remuneration (subject to the existence of valid long-term remuneration plans and provided that the Company decides to award such remuneration).

(the components in sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 above shall be called hereafter: “the variable components”).

At the time of approval of the remuneration package of an office holder, the Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors of the Company shall assess the compliance of each of those components and of the total cost of employment with the criteria set out in this plan.

In addition to the fixed salary component as determined herein, the remuneration package of Company’s office holders may include eligibility to an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets and to an annual discretionary bonus (hereafter jointly: “the annual bonus”).

2.8.1

Components of the bonus

With regard to the Company’s CEO and an active chairman of the Board of Directors (other than CEO or active chairman of the Board of Directors who are the controlling shareholder of the Company or his relative) – most of the annual bonus will be based on measurable targets and an immaterial portion of the annual bonus (for that purpose “immaterial portion” – the higher of (a) a total of 3 (gross) monthly salaries or (b) 25% of the variable components of the bonus (actual bonus and equity-based payment) shall be a discretionary bonus that is based on qualitative criteria. Notwithstanding the above, if in a specific year the Company does not pay the CEO or the active chairman of the Board of Directors (as applicable) an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets (i.e., if the discretionary annual bonus paid to the CEO or the active chairman of the Board of Directors (as applicable) constitutes the total annual bonus paid on that year), then the amount of the discretionary bonus that the Company may pay to the CEO and to the active chairman of the Board of Directors (as applicable and separately) shall not exceed three (3) gross monthly salaries of that office holder.

With regard to office holders who report to the Company’s CEO – subject to the provisions of the law, office holders, who report to the CEO, may be eligible to an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets and to a discretionary annual bonus. It should be clarified that the whole amount of annual bonus payable to office holders, who report to the Company’s CEO may be a discretionary bonus (unlike an annual bonus that is based on measurable targets).

2.8.2

Annual bonus that is based on measurable targets

The amount of the annual bonus that is based on measurable targets shall be calculated based on measurable criteria, that will be determined (if they are determined) for each and every office holder, as possible, at the time of determining the Company’s budget for the forthcoming year, in accordance with the role of the relevant office holder, by the competent organs of the Company (in accordance with the provisions of the law and the positions of the Securities Authority, as amended from time to time). It is hereby clarified the in regard to office holders, who report to the CEO, such measurable targets may be determined only by the Company’s CEO.

2.8.2.1

Subject to the provisions of the law and the positions of the Securities Authority (as amended from time to time):

The Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors alone will be allowed to determine the measurable targets applicable to active directors, if one of the following is fulfilled:

(1)

All of the following conditions are met: (a) the resolution is in line with the remuneration policy; (b) the grant in question is based only on measurable targets; (c) the amount of the potential grant is immaterial (up to three salaries); and (d) the targets were pre-determined by the Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors.

(2)

All of the following conditions are met: (a) the resolution is in line with the remuneration policy; (b) the office holder in question serves both as a director and in an operational role in the Company; (c) The Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors approved the targets, but the directors, who receive from the Company a bonus based on measurable targets, did not take part in the approval of those targets (whether in their capacity as directors or in their capacity as other office holders in the Company).

The Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors alone will be allowed to determine the measurable targets applicable to an office holder, who is a controlling shareholder or a relative thereof (as these terms are defined in the Companies Law), if one of the following is fulfilled:

(1)

(2)

Measurable targets based on financial statements data and which applies in the same manner to the controlling shareholder and his relative and to every other office holders, provided that all of the following conditions are met: (a) the number of the other office holders which such targets apply, is significantly higher than the number of office holder which is the controlling shareholder or his relative; (b) the potential grant to the other office holder is significantly higher than the potential grant to the office holder which is the controlling shareholder or his relative (in absolute numbers); (c) the cost of the grants attributed to the controlling shareholder, taking into account his holdings in the Company, will be significantly higher than the total grant he will be entitled to in the event of meeting the targets, so it is clear that the controlling shareholder has a slight and negligible interest in determining the targets.

Set forth below are some suggested criteria for the annual bonus that is based on measurable targets. It should be clarified that this list is not a closed and binding list. The Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors may consider adding or removing some of those criteria, taking into account the role of each office holder, this areas of responsibility and the Company’s activity.

The Remuneration Committee and Board of Directors, or the Company’s CEO, as applicable, may determine to pay only part of the component of the annual bonus, which is based on measurable targets, if the office holder meets only some of the targets.
