For purposes of determining the number of shares to be allotted to the Eligible Magic Shareholders, “the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis” means the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital as of the end of the seventh trading day before the date of completion of the transaction (the “Calculation Date”), assuming the theoretical exercise of all options existing in the Company’s share capital on the Calculation Date, with the number of shares underlying such theoretical option exercises calculated based on the Net-Exercise method, on the basis of the Company share closing price on the Stock Exchange on the Calculation Date.

 

The Company will publish an Immediate Report containing the final calculation of the exchange ratio, pursuant to which the number of Consideration Shares will be determined, no later than four (4) business days prior to completion of the Merger Transaction.

2.Details Concerning the Company’s Share Capital

 

2.1.As of the date of this Shelf Offering Report, the Company’s registered share capital is NIS 100,000,000 divided into 100,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1 each. It is noted that, as part of the Meeting Notice, an increase of the Company’s registered share capital from NIS 100,000,000 divided into 100,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1 each, to NIS 200,000,000 divided into 200,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1 each, has been proposed.

It is noted that this assumption is theoretical only, as the options granted by the Company are exercisable using the Net-Exercise method, and accordingly, the actual number of shares allotted to an offeree exercising options will not be the full number underlying the options, but only such number reflecting the cash benefit embedded in the options exercised.

 

2.3.All shares in the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital are fully paid.

 

2.4.The Offered Securities under this Shelf Offering Report shall, upon completion of the offering pursuant hereto and assuming issuance of all Offered Securities, constitute approximately 31.319% percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital and approximately 31.319% percent of its voting rights, and approximately 31,125% percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital and voting rights on a fully diluted basis.3

7.Taxation of the Offered Shares

 

7.1.General

 

In recent years, several amendments have been enacted that significantly change the provisions of the Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 5721-1961 (the “Ordinance”), applicable to the taxation of securities traded on the Stock Exchange.

 

Due to the substantial changes in the taxation of the capital market in recent years, proper practice for applying the provisions described below has not yet been fully established, and multiple interpretations may exist regarding their implementation. Moreover, additional amendments may be enacted beyond those already implemented. Naturally, their content and impact cannot be predicted.

 

The provisions included in this Shelf Offering Report concerning taxation of securities are not intended to constitute an authoritative interpretation of the law referenced in this Shelf Offering Report and are not a substitute for professional advice tailored to the specific facts and circumstances of each purchaser. Therefore, we recommend seeking professional advice based on each purchaser’s individual circumstances.

 

It should be noted that, with respect to an individual who became a resident of Israel for the first time or a “Returning Resident Veteran” as defined in the Ordinance, different tax implications from those described below may apply, and such persons are advised to seek personal advice to examine their eligibility for tax benefits in Israel.

 

It should also be noted that, with respect to investors who qualify as controlling shareholders or as substantial shareholders as defined in the Ordinance, additional tax implications may apply beyond those described below.

 

Under current law, the Offered Securities (in this Section: the “Security” or the “Securities”) are subject to the tax arrangements described below in summary.

7.2.Tax ruling

 

On May 27, 2025, the Company and Magic applied to the Israel Tax Authority for a tax ruling regarding the acquisition of Magic shares from the Eligible Magic Shareholders in the Merger Transaction, which, as noted, is being carried out as a reverse triangular merger. Under this structure, the Eligible Magic Shareholders will transfer 100 percent of the Magic shares (including Magic shares held by a trustee) in consideration for the Consideration Shares, such that the allotment of the Consideration Shares, which will be allotted to the Eligible Magic Shareholders shall not be considered a “sale” under Part E2 of the Ordinance at the time of completion of the Merger Transaction, but rather only upon the actual sale of the Consideration Shares, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103t of the Ordinance (the “Tax Ruling”). As of this date, the Tax Ruling has not yet been issued by the Israel Tax Authority. It is clarified that receipt of the Tax Ruling is a Condition Precedent for completion of the Merger Transaction. For details, see Section 2.3 of the Meeting Notice.

 

Below are the main elements of the requested Tax Ruling:

 

7.2.1.The Tax Ruling shall not determine the final tax liability with respect to the sale of the Consideration Shares and/or Magic shares. This matter may be determined by the assessing officer and/or the Israel Tax Authority.

7.2.3.The Company shall allot to the Eligible Magic Shareholders equivalent shares based on their relative proportion of all rights in Magic, in lieu of their rights in Magic, pursuant to Sections 103C(4) and 103C(5) of the Ordinance.

 

7.2.4.Upon sale of the Consideration Shares, including bonus shares, splits, and any right allotted by virtue thereof before or after issuance of the Tax Ruling, the provisions of Section 103F of the Ordinance shall apply with respect to the original cost and the date of acquisition.

 

7.2.5.The original cost and date of acquisition of the Magic shares held by the Company shall be determined in accordance with Section 103E of the Ordinance, and for purposes of such Section, the Magic shares shall be considered transferred assets.

 

7.2.6.Upon sale of the Magic shares held by the Company, or upon sale of the Company’s shares by its shareholders, as applicable, the original cost and acquisition date shall be determined on a relative (pro-rata) basis.

 

7.2.7.The provisions of Section 103t(b1) of the Ordinance shall apply to the Company, including the non-allowance of offsetting a gain or loss from the sale of Magic shares against a loss or gain (respectively) from the sale of the Consideration Shares by the Company.

 

7.2.8.The provisions of Section 103C(8)(a) of the Ordinance shall apply to each shareholder of the Company and of Magic, except for shareholders of the Company who were not controlling shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger.

If valuations confirming such compliance are not received within 60 days from the date of issuance of the Tax Ruling, the Israel Tax Authority shall have the right to retroactively cancel the Tax Ruling. Likewise, if the valuation submitted as required does not demonstrate compliance with the above-mentioned relative-value conditions, the Tax Ruling shall be null and void retroactively.

 

7.2.12.All conditions set out in the Tax Ruling comply with the conditions specified in Section 103t of the Ordinance and the conditions set out in Sections 103C(1) and 103C(7) of the Ordinance, including the conditions relating to the required period, as defined in Section 103 of the Ordinance, commencing on the Merger Date. If the provisions of Sections 103C and 103t of the Ordinance are breached, the holders of rights in Magic and in the Company shall be liable for taxes and mandatory payments from which they were exempt, together with indexation differentials and interest from the Merger Date until the date of payment, all in accordance with Section 103j of the Ordinance. The transfer of Magic shares by the Eligible Magic Shareholders in exchange for the Consideration Shares shall be exempt from withholding tax.

 

7.3.Capital gain from the sale of the Securities

This does not apply to the sale of securities by an individual who is a “substantial shareholder” of the Company6 at the time of sale or at any time during the preceding 12 months, for whom the tax rate on real capital gain shall not exceed 30 percent. It should be noted that, notwithstanding the above, the tax rates applicable to capital gains on the sale of securities that are not index-linked may differ. In addition, an assessee who claimed deductible real interest expenses and indexation differences in respect of the securities shall be taxed at a rate of 30 percent on the real capital gain from the sale of the securities, until rules and conditions for deducting real interest expenses are prescribed under Section 101A(a)(9) of the Ordinance. The said tax rate shall not apply to an individual for whom the income from the sale of the securities constitutes income from a “business” or “profession”, pursuant to Sections 2(1) and 2(2) of the Ordinance. In such event, the individual shall pay tax at the marginal rate under Section 121 of the Ordinance. It should be noted that an additional tax may apply to income exceeding certain thresholds, as detailed in Section 7.6 below.

7.3.2.A corporation shall be subject to corporate tax on real capital gains from the sale of securities, at the corporate tax rate set forth in Section 126(a) of the Ordinance (in 2025, 23 percent).

 

7.3.3.A tax-exempt mutual fund and provident funds, as well as entities exempt from tax under Section 9(2) of the Ordinance, are exempt from tax on capital gains from the sale of securities as described above. For a taxable mutual fund, the tax rate applicable to income from the sale of securities shall be the rate applicable to an individual whose income does not constitute income from a “business” or “profession,” unless expressly provided otherwise. If no special tax rate is prescribed for such income, the income shall be taxed at the maximum rate prescribed under Section 121 of the Ordinance.

 

7.3.4.As a general rule, a foreign resident (individual or corporation), as defined in the Ordinance, is exempt from tax on capital gains from the sale of securities traded on the Stock Exchange in Israel, provided the capital gain is not attributable to a permanent establishment in Israel. If the acquisition date of the security was prior to its listing on the Stock Exchange and the foreign resident was not entitled to a tax exemption upon its sale as provided in Section 97(b3) of the Ordinance, the portion of the gain that would have accrued had the security been sold prior to its listing shall be taxed under the conditions specified in Section 97(b2) of the Ordinance. The above exemption does not apply to a foreign-resident corporation if Israeli residents are controlling shareholders, beneficiaries, or entitled to 25 percent or more of the income or profits of such foreign-resident corporation, directly or indirectly, as provided in Section 68A of the Ordinance. If the exemption does not apply, the exemption under an applicable tax treaty between Israel and the foreign resident’s country of residence may apply, if such treaty exists, all subject to its provisions.

 

7.3.5.With respect to withholding tax on real capital gain from the sale of the Offered Securities, under the Income Tax Regulations (Withholding from Consideration, Payment or Real Capital Gain in the Sale of a Security, in the Sale of a Unit in a Mutual Fund or in a Future Transaction), 5763-2002 (in this Section, the “Withholding Regulations”), the “obligor” who pays the seller consideration for the sale of securities shall withhold tax at a rate of 25 percent of the real capital gain, and for non-index-linked securities at a rate of 15 percent of the gain, where the seller is an individual, and at the rate set forth in Section 126(a) of the Ordinance where the seller is a corporation. This is subject to a withholding tax exemption (or reduced rate) certificate issued by the Israel Tax Authority, and subject to offsetting losses that the withholding agent is permitted to offset. No withholding tax shall be deducted from a foreign resident if certain conditions in the regulations are met. Likewise, no withholding tax shall be deducted for provident funds, mutual funds and other entities exempt from withholding tax under law. It should be noted that if, on the date of sale, the full withholding tax is not deducted from the real capital gain as set out above, the provisions of Section 91(d) of the Ordinance and the regulations thereunder concerning reporting and advance tax payments shall apply.

7.4.Offset of losses from the sale of the Offered Securities

 

7.4.1.As a general rule, a capital loss that would have been taxable had it been a capital gain, incurred in the tax year from the sale of a security, may be offset against capital gains and real estate appreciation arising from the sale of any asset, in Israel or abroad (excluding taxable inflationary capital gain, which may be offset at a ratio of 1 to 3.5).

 

7.4.2.Under Regulation 9 of the Withholding Regulations, in calculating capital gain for purposes of withholding tax by the obligor (including from the sale of traded securities), the obligor shall offset the capital loss incurred from the sale of traded securities under its management, provided the gain was realized in the same tax year in which the loss was incurred, whether before or after the loss. The assessing officer may, in certain cases, approve the offset of losses from a securities portfolio not managed by the obligor, for purposes of withholding tax.

 

7.4.3.Pursuant to Section 92(a)(4) of the Ordinance, a capital loss incurred in the tax year may also be offset against interest or dividend paid in respect of the same security and/or against interest or dividend paid in respect of other securities in the same tax year (provided that the tax rate applicable to interest and dividend from such other security does not exceed the rate prescribed under Section 126(a) of the Ordinance for a corporation, and under Sections 125B(1) or 125c(b) for an individual). The loss offset shall be carried out by offsetting the capital loss against capital gains, or against interest or dividend income as stated above.

 

7.4.4.A loss that cannot be offset as described above shall be offset only against capital gains, as provided in Section 92(b) of the Ordinance, in subsequent tax years following the year in which the loss was incurred, provided that a tax return was filed with the assessing officer for the tax year in which the loss was incurred.

 

7.4.5.With respect to the offset of losses from the sale of traded securities incurred prior to 2006, additional restrictions apply regarding the manner of offset, as set out in the transitional provisions applicable to Section 92 of the Ordinance prior to its amendment.

 

7.4.6.Pursuant to Section 94B of the Ordinance, and subject to the conditions set out therein, where the seller of a share is a corporation or an individual who was a substantial shareholder of the Company at the time of the sale of the Offered Securities or at any time during the 12 months preceding the sale, and who purchased the shares prior to January 1, 2003, the Section shall apply such that the portion of the distributable profits7 attributable to the seller’s relative share in the profits shall be taxed at the dividend tax rate, and not at the rate set out in Section 91 of the Ordinance.

 

 

14 

7.4.7.Pursuant to Section 94C of the Ordinance, in the sale of a share by a corporation, the amount of capital loss incurred from the sale of the share shall be reduced by the amount of dividend received in respect of that share during the 24 months preceding the sale, but not more than the amount of the loss, excluding dividend on which tax was paid (other than tax paid outside Israel) at a rate of 15 percent or more, but not more than the amount of the loss.

 

7.5.Tax rate applicable to dividend income in respect of the Company’s shares

 

7.5.1.A dividend derived from the Company’s shares, provided it is not a dividend derived from an Approved Enterprise, a Privileged Enterprise, a Preferred Enterprise or a Preferred Technological Enterprise, as defined in the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, 5719-1959 (the “Encouragement Law”), shall generally be taxable, pursuant to Section 125B(1) of the Ordinance, at a rate of 25 percent for Israeli-resident individuals, except for an individual who is a substantial shareholder of the Company at the time of receipt of the dividend or at any time during the preceding 12 months, for whom the tax rate shall be 30 percent pursuant to Section 125B(2) of the Ordinance.

 

7.5.2.Section 126(b) of the Ordinance provides that, in calculating the taxable income of a corporation (other than a family company) subject to corporate tax, income from the distribution of profits or from dividend derived from income produced or accrued in Israel received directly or indirectly from another corporation subject to corporate tax shall not be included, except for dividend derived from an Approved Enterprise or a Privileged Enterprise that has not filed a waiver notice under Amendment No. 68 to the Encouragement Law. Dividend derived from income produced or accrued outside Israel, as well as dividend sourced outside Israel, shall be subject to corporate tax at the rate of 23 percent (or as applicable from time to time). Dividend received by a family company shall be taxed at a rate of 25 percent, unless the “representative taxpayer” is a “substantial shareholder” of the distributing company, in which case the dividend shall be taxed at a rate of 30 percent. Dividend received by a foreign resident (individual or corporation) who is not a substantial shareholder shall be taxed at a rate of 25 percent. Dividend received by a foreign resident individual or corporation who is a substantial shareholder at the time of receipt of the dividend or at any time during the preceding 12 months shall be taxed at a rate of 30 percent. Tax rates applicable to dividend distributed to a foreign resident may vary under an applicable double-taxation treaty between Israel and the foreign resident’s country of residence, subject to the treaty.

 

 

7 The expenses include, among else, legal fees and the fee payable to the Israel Securities Authority.

 

15 

7.5.3.Notwithstanding the above, dividend distributed by the Company out of dividend derived from “Preferred Income,” “Benefited Income” and/or “Technological Income” (as applicable), from an enterprise entitled to tax benefits under the Encouragement Law, shall generally be taxable at a rate of 20 percent for both individuals and foreign-resident corporations. Subject to the conditions set out in the Encouragement Law, dividend received by a foreign-resident corporation from a “Privileged Enterprise” and/or a “Preferred Technological Enterprise,” as defined in the Encouragement Law, shall be entitled to a tax rate of 4 percent. As noted above, tax rates applicable to dividend distributed to a foreign resident (individual or corporation) may vary under an applicable double-taxation treaty, if any exists between the State of Israel and the country of residence of the foreign resident, subject to the treaty.

 

7.5.4.Dividend received by a taxable mutual fund shall be taxed at the rate applicable to an individual whose income does not constitute income from a business or profession, unless explicitly provided otherwise. A tax-exempt mutual fund, as well as provident funds and other entities exempt from tax under Section 9(2) of the Ordinance, shall be exempt from tax on such dividend, provided that such income does not constitute income from a “business” or “profession,” and subject to the conditions of Section 9(2) of the Ordinance.

 

7.5.5.Pursuant to the Income Tax Regulations (Withholding from Interest, Dividend and Certain Profits), 5766-2005, the withholding tax rate applicable to dividend paid to an individual or to a foreign resident (individual or corporation), including dividend paid to such a substantial shareholder at the time of receipt of the dividend or at any time during the preceding 12 months, whose shares are registered and held through the Nominee Company, shall be 25 percent. For an individual or foreign resident (individual or corporation) who is a substantial shareholder and whose shares are not registered and not held through the Nominee Company, withholding tax shall be deducted at a rate of 30 percent. For the avoidance of doubt, the withholding tax rate applicable to a foreign resident shall be subject to the provisions of an applicable double-taxation treaty, if one exists between Israel and the foreign resident’s country of residence, in accordance with the treaty.

 

7.5.6.No withholding tax shall be deducted in respect of payments to provident funds, mutual funds and other entities exempt from withholding tax under law. If a limited tax rate is prescribed by law regarding the dividend, withholding tax shall be deducted at the prescribed rate, if the shareholder is an Israeli-resident corporation. For a foreign resident, the withholding tax rate shall also be subject to the provisions of the applicable double-taxation treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence, if one exists, and subject to receipt of an appropriate certificate from the Israel Tax Authority in advance.

 

7.5.7.As of January 1, 2013, withholding tax on dividend paid by an Israeli-resident corporation whose shares are listed for trading on a Stock Exchange, in respect of shares held through the Nominee Company, shall be performed through a financial institution.

7.6.Tax on high income

 

7.6.1.Pursuant to Section 121B(a) of the Ordinance, an individual whose taxable income in the tax year (2025) exceeds NIS 721,560 shall be liable for an additional tax at a rate of 3 percent on the portion of taxable income exceeding such amount. It is noted that an individual’s taxable income, for purposes of the additional tax, includes all taxable income as defined in Section 1 of the Ordinance and as defined in Section 89 of the Ordinance, excluding the inflationary amount as defined in Section 88 of the Ordinance and as defined in Section 47 of the Real Estate Taxation (Appreciation and Purchase) Law, 5723-1963.

 

7.6.2.Pursuant to Section 121B(a1) of the Ordinance, as of January 1, 2025, an individual whose taxable income from capital sources in the tax year (2025) exceeds the amount set forth in Section 121B(a) (NIS 721,560) shall be liable for an additional tax at a rate of 2 percent on the portion of his or her taxable income from capital sources exceeding such amount. It is noted that taxable income from capital sources for purposes of this additional tax includes all taxable income, excluding income from personal exertion.
