1. Approval of the repurchase plan is for the sake of implementing the 2012 options plan adopted by the Company.

2. The Company's Board of Directors examined the distributable earnings based on the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2017 which total approximately USD 783,029 thousand, and in its opinion there is no concern that the repurchase plan shall deprive the Company of its ability to pay its anticipated and existing debts when they become due. In light of this, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company meets the distribution criteria specified in section 302(a) of the Companies Law, 5759-1999.

USD 660,443.

The purchase of shares by means of the repurchase plan does not create a taxable event for the Company and/or for the holders of the Company's securities.
