The total dividend amount distributed to each shareholder amounts to 80% of the dividend

Each shareholder is invited to contact Mr. Zami Flitter of Ernst & Young, Israel (see contact

authorities as the case may be (together with a pro rata interest accrued thereon, if any)

unless a shareholder requests from Ernst &Young that payment shall be made in USD,

applicable exchange rate at such date.
