Q3 Dividend Distribution

 

 

 




 Item 1

 

Q3 Dividend Distribution

 

The Company hereby reports that its Board of Directors yesterday declared a quarterly dividend of US$ 60 million or US$ 0.04701 per share.

 

Some shareholders will receive the payment in NIS and need to take into account the following: the amount of the dividend per share is not final and will be subject to changes due to the need to convert the amount from US Dollars to Israeli Shekels (NIS), according to the Bank of Israel's representative exchange rate known on December 19, 2016. 

 

The dividend will be paid only to registered shareholders entitled to US$2 or above.

 

The record date is December 20, 2016; the payment date is January 4, 2017. In the current quarter, the tax will be calculated as follows: (1) 79% of the dividend will be calculated so that Israeli companies are exempted from tax and individuals residents in Israel will pay 25% tax; for foreign residents, the dividend will be taxable at a rate of 25% or according to International Tax Treaties, at the lower. (2) 16% of the dividend will be calculated so that Israeli companies will pay 15% tax, and individuals residents in Israel will pay 15% tax; for foreign residents, the dividend will be taxable at a rate of 4% or according to International Tax Treaties, at the lower. (3) 5% of the dividend will be calculated so that Israeli companies and Israeli individuals will pay 15% tax; for foreign residents, the dividend will be taxable at a rate of 15% or according to International Tax Treaties, at the lower.
