1.Dividend Distribution Announcement

 

 

 

Item 1

 

Dividend Distribution Announcement

 

The Company hereby reports that on July 30, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to declare a cash dividend in the amount of $0.05700 per share or about $74 million.

 

Some shareholders will receive the dividend payment in New Israeli Shekels (NIS) and need to take into account that the amount of the dividend per share is not final and is subject to changes due to the need to convert the amount from US dollars to NIS according to the Bank of Israel's representative exchange rate on September 9, 2019.

 

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

 

The record date is September 10, 2019 and the payment date is September 24, 2019. From the current dividend payment, Israeli tax will be withheld at the following rates: (1) with respect to 56.58% of the dividend, an Israeli resident company will not be charged for withholding tax; an Israeli resident individual will be charged for withholding tax at a rate of 25%; and foreign residents (individuals and companies) will be charged for withholding tax at a rate of 25% or in accordance with the applicable international tax treaties – whichever is lower; (2) with respect to 43.42% of the dividend, an Israeli resident company will not be charged for withholding tax; an Israeli resident individual will be charged for withholding tax at a rate of 20%; and foreign residents (individuals and companies) will be charged for withholding tax at a rate of 20% or in accordance with the applicable international tax treaties – whichever is lower.

 

For additional information as to a possible refund procedure for taxes withheld in excess of the withholding tax rates described above, from shareholders holding shares that are traded on NYSE not through an Israeli bank, please visit the Company's webpage, by clicking this link: http://iclgroupv2.s3.amazonaws.com/corporate/wp-content/uploads/sites/1004/2019/01/NYSE-dividend-Israeli-withholding-tax-ruling-1.1.2019.pdf
