Appendix 2.34

Adjustments due to Distribution of Bonus Shares, Rights Issue and Distribution
of Dividends
 
The aforesaid adjustments shall apply both to the Put Option in relation to the Company’s shares, i.e. the Remaining Holdings Option as described in Clause 7.1 of the Agreement and also in relation to the Put Option in relation to the Willi International shares as described in Clause 13 of the Agreement, mutatis mutandis, in relation to the latter on a basis that wherever the words “the Company” are written this shall be read as: “Willi International”.  In addition, the contents shall apply to the Sellers jointly and/or severally.

From the Date of Coming into Force of the Agreement and up to the date of exercise of the Put Option, the total number of shares in the Put Option and/or the exercise price of the Put Option shall be subject to the following adjustments, provided that the Effective Date in regard to the events specified below falls before the date of exercise:

a.
If the Company should distribute bonus shares the effective date for the distribution of which falls before the date of exercise of the Put Option, the following provisions will apply:

 
If the Effective Date with regard to the right to participate in a distribution of bonus shares (in this paragraph “the Effective Date”) falls before the date of exercise, the number of exercise shares in respect of which the Purchaser will be entitled to exercise the Put Option shall increase immediately after the Effective Date by adding the number of shares to which the Purchaser would have been entitled as bonus shares had the Put Option been exercised for shares, and the exercise price per share of the Put Option shall be reduced in a manner that the exercise price for the entire Put Option shall not change.

b.
If an offer is made to the shareholders of the Company by way of a rights issue, the rights to purchase any securities (hereinafter: “Rights”), then the contents of sub-clauses (1) to (3) below shall apply in the sole discretion of the Sellers, in accordance with a notice the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser before the date of publication of a prospectus for the rights issue and/or a shelf offer report, as the case may be:

 
(1)
In a case in which the Sellers have taken full advantage of the rights in respect of all the Put Option shares, the number of exercise shares to which the Purchaser shall be entitled as a result of exercising the Put Option, shall be adjusted to the bonus element in the rights, as same is manifested in the ratio between the closing price of the share on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day before the “ex” day and the base price of the share “ex rights”, that is to say, shares shall be added to the number of exercise shares to the extent which is the pro rata portion of the bonus element in the rights as against the total exercised shares and the exercise price of the Put Option per share shall be reduced accordingly, in a manner that the exercise price of the overall Put Option shall not change.
 
 
33

 
 
 
(2)
In a case in which the Sellers do not take advantage of the rights in respect of all the Put Option shares, the exercise price of the Put Option per share to which the Purchaser will be entitled as a result of exercising the Put Option, shall be adjusted to the bonus element in the rights, as same is expressed in the ratio between the closing price of the share on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day before the “ex” day and the base price of the share “ex rights”, in other words, the quantity of the exercise shares shall not change and the exercise price of the Put Option per share shall be reduced to the extent of the bonus element;

 
(3)
The Sellers shall, without consideration, endorse over to the Purchaser all the rights to which the Sellers are entitled and in such case there shall be no adjustment in a manner that the exercise price per share of the Put Option, the total number of Put Option shares and the exercise price of the entire Put Option shall not change.

c.
If the Company makes a distribution of dividend, as defined in the Companies Law, including by way of a buy back (as this term is defined in the Companies Law) and including payment of a dividend which does not meet the tests for distribution in accordance with the Companies Law (hereinafter: “a Distribution”), the effective date for the distribution of which falls before the date of exercise of the Put Option, the following provisions shall apply:

 
Commencing from the first trading day on which the Company’s shares are traded “ex dividend”, the exercise price per share of the Put Option shall be equivalent to the previous exercise price less the amount of the distribution per share gross, that is to say before deduction of tax in respect of such distribution.

d.
If the Company performs a process of splitting/consolidating its shares or a swap of its shares, the number of exercise shares shall be adjusted in a manner that preserves the relative portion of the exercise shares arising from the exercise of the Put Option in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company (as if the Put Option had been exercised immediately prior to the performance of the act) and the exercise price per share of the Put Option shall be reduced or increased in a manner that the exercise price of the entire Put Option shall not change.

e.
In the event of a merger between the Company and Willi International, in a manner that the Company is the company that is liquidated, the adjustment shall apply to the Remaining Holdings Option in such a way that instead of the exercise shares, the option shall apply to the remaining holdings in relation to Willi International shares that will be received instead of the exercise shares, as a result of the merger and the exercise price will be adjusted according to the swap ratio in the merger.
