Company Update in relation to the International Bank of Azerbaijan

Ramat Gan, Israel, 12 September 2016

Further to the announcement dated 30 August 2016, the Company has received a notification from the International Bank of Azerbaijan (“IBAR”) that IBAR is claiming that Israel 18 B.V. is in default of its loan agreement with IBAR and consequently IBAR has reserved its rights against the Company under the purported pledge agreement over the Company’s US$13.1 million deposited with IBAR (the “Company’s Deposit”).

As stated in the announcement dated 30 August 2016 the Company refutes that it has ever authorised the use of the Company’s Deposit as security for the loan to Israel 18 B.V., which would constitute an interested party transaction in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law.

The Company will continue to seek the return of the monies deposited with IBAR from the Israel 18 and IBAR.
