Pursuant to Section 267 to the Israeli Companies Law, any remuneration policy for officers requires the prior approval of that company's board of directors, remuneration committee and at a general meeting of shareholders. The last approval was received in March 2025, but due to the death of the founder and late chairman of the Company, Mr. Zvi Borovitz, the board of directors of the Company wishes to strengthen the board and proposes to amend the 2025 Remuneration Policy, as detailed in Schedule B.
Nomination of the Vice Chairman and approving the remuneration for Mr. David Yariv
