1. Application for Certification of a Class Action

Item 1

Application for Certification of a Class Action

The Company hereby reports that it was today served an application filed with the Central District Court, for certification of a class action against the Company and its subsidiaries Rotem Amfert Negev Ltd. and Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd. (jointly hereinafter: the “Defendants”).

The causes of action are the alleged exploitation of the Defendants’ monopolistic position in order to charge consumers in Israel excessive and unfair prices for products classified as “solid phosphate fertilizer”, all this during the years 2011-2018 and contrary to the provisions of the Restrictive Trade Practices Law, as well as in an unjust enrichment at the expense of the plaintiff and the represented class.

The plaintiff is a Kibbutz member growing various plants and trees in his yard and in an adjacent orchard. The represented class includes all consumers who have purchased solid phosphate fertilizer products, directly or indirectly, produced by the manufactured by the Defendants, or farming produce fertilized with solid phosphate fertilizer or food products that include such farming produce, during the years 2011-2018 (the “Class”).

According to the statement of claim, the plaintiff requests, among other things, that the Court rules in his favor and in favor of the Represented Class, awarding them compensation for the damages allegedly caused them, in a total amount of ILS 56 million (approximately $15 million), based on a calculation pursuant to the “difference test” (measuring the difference between the price of a product and its cost), as described in the statement of claim, or in the amount of ILS 73 million (approximately $20 million) based on the “comparison test” (comparing the price of a product to its price in other markets), as described in the statement of claim.

It would be noted that total sales of solid phosphate fertilizer in 2017 are negligible.

The Company, with the assistance of its legal advisors, is reviewing the application and will deliver its position to the Court as required by law.
