Item 1

  

 

Class Action Concerning ICL's IT (Harmonization) Project

 

Further to the Company’s immediate report dated October 14, 2018 (reference no. 2018-02-095787), in connection with denial of the application for permission to appeal filed with the Israeli Supreme Court by a shareholder of the Company regarding an application for discovery and perusal of documents as part of a preliminary proceeding prior to filing an application for certification of a derivative action related to the manner of management and termination of the IT project (the “Harmonization” project), the Company today reports that the same shareholder has yesterday filed an application with the Tel Aviv District Court for certification of a class action against the Company, Israel Corporation Ltd. and officeholders, including directors, who served in the Company at the periods specified in the statement of claim (the “Application”).

 

According to the allegations made in the Application, the Company failed to properly report (negative) developments that occurred at several times during the IT project, and failure of the project has caused the Company immense financial damages.

 

The represented class is defined in the Application as including all persons who acquired Company shares at any time during the period beginning on June 11, 2015, and who did not sell such shares until September 29, 2016. The aggregate claim amount for all members of the represented class is estimated between $113 million (ILS 426 million) maximal damages and $7 million (ILS 26 million) minimal damages.

 

The Company, with the assistance of its legal advisors, denies the allegations made in the Application and will file its position with the Court as required by law.
