Item 1
 
Immediate Report re Tax Authority Notification

Pursuant to the Company's immediate report dated December 31, 2013 (reference number 2013-01-113563), regarding an assessment by the Tax Authority stating that the Company is required to make an additional tax payment in the amount of $230 million, over and above the amount paid for the years 2009 to 2011, the Company hereby wishes to announce that following an opposition that it has submitted against the assessment, on January 27, 2015, it received an order from the Tax Authority which puts the additional tax amount at about $200 million. As mentioned, the Tax Authority’s main contention is that the ICL subsidiaries, Dead Sea Works and Rotem Amfert Negev, are not entitled to benefits under the Encouragement of Capital Investments Law, as of the effective date of Amendment No. 60 of the said Law in 2005.

The Company disagrees with the Tax Authority's position and with the assistance of its legal counsels is planning to appeal the order.
