Payment and Israeli Withholding Tax Ruling

In connection with the merger, the Company has obtained a pre-ruling from the Israel Tax Authority with respect to the Israeli tax withholding obligations relating to the merger consideration. According to the pre-ruling, subject to certain exceptions, shareholders and holders of ADSs that are non-Israeli residents for tax purposes, who held (including through ADSs) less than 5% of the Company’s share capital and purchased their shares or ADSs on or after March 13, 2007 (the date of the initial public offering of the Company), will be exempt from withholding of Israeli tax subject to providing required documentation to the appointed paying agent, Computershare. More detailed information about the tax pre-ruling, the Israeli withholding tax rates and a declaration to be completed and signed by each of the holders eligible for such exemption will be included with the letter of transmittal which will be sent to applicable securityholders following the closing.

Holders of ordinary shares (other than those who hold their shares through members of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”)) and ADSs who possess certificates for shares or ADSs will receive a letter of transmittal with detailed instructions, along with other forms, from Computershare regarding the surrender of their certificates in order to receive the merger consideration. For shares and ADSs held in street name by a broker, bank or other nominee (including ordinary shares held through members of the TASE), the broker, bank or other nominee will handle the exchange of shares and ADSs for the holders and will provide them with any relevant instructions for effecting the exchange.
