You will be asked to indicate on the WHITE proxy card whether you are a controlling shareholder or whether you have a personal interest in the adoption of Proposals 3.a. and 3.b. For this purpose, under the Israel Companies Law:
- a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of the shareholder and any member of the shareholder’s family, family members of the shareholder’s spouse, or a spouse of any of the foregoing, or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our ordinary shares. More detailed information will appear in the Definitive Proxy Statement; and
- a “controlling shareholder” means a shareholder having the ability to direct the activities of the Company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if the shareholder holds 50% or more of the voting rights in the Company or has the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the Company or its general manager.
