Voting by Mail. You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed,
postage-paid envelope, or, for shares held in street name, by following the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank trustee or nominee. The proxy must be received by our transfer agent or at our registered office in Israel at
least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the appointed time of the Meeting to be validly included in the tally of Ordinary Shares voted at the Meeting. If directions are not given or directions are not in accordance with the options listed on
a proxy card, such shares will be voted FOR the proposal for which the Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR.
