This Amendment No. 15 on Schedule 13D/A (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements to the extent specified herein the Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended, with respect to the ordinary shares, par value New Israeli Shekel 0.05 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of Given Imaging Ltd. (the “Issuer”), previously filed by RDC Rafael Development Corporation Ltd. (“RDC”), DEP Technology Holdings Ltd. (“DEP”), Elron, DIC, IDB Development, IDB Holding Corporation Ltd. (“IDB Holding”), Nochi Dankner, Shelly Bergman, Ruth Manor and Avraham Livnat (“the Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Statement”) . Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without being defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Statement.

The Amendment is filed by the Reporting Persons in connection with certain actions to be taken regarding the voting and disposition of the Ordinary Shares held by DIC, Elron and RDC as described in Item 6 below in this Amendment..
 
The following amends and supplements Items 2, 5, 6 and 7 of the Statement

Item 2.     Identity and Background

 (a), (b) and (c):    The Reporting Persons.

The following information in this Item 2 amends the information previously provided in Item 2 of the Statement. See the Statement for additional information provided in Item 2 of the Statement that is not being amended.

As of December 8, 2013:

The name, citizenship, residence or business address and present principal occupation of the directors and executive officers of (i) RDC, (ii) DEP, (iii) Elron, (iv) DIC, (v) IDB Development and (vi) IDB Holding are the same as set forth in Schedules A, B, C, D, E and F, respectively, attached to amendment No. 14 of the Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2013, and incorporated herein by reference, except that Mr. Gideon Lahav ceased to be a director of DIC.

 (d)           None of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any director or executive officer of RDC, DEP, Elron, DIC, IDB Development and IDB Holding as set forth above has, during the last five years, been convicted in any criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors, except as follows:

In February 2010, the Supreme Court of Israel reversed, in appeal proceedings initiated by the prosecution in December 2004, the acquittal of DIC, several past executive officers of DIC and one of its other officers by the Tel Aviv District Court in November 2004 in appeal proceedings initiated by them in June 2002, and reinstated their conviction by the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court back in February 2002, of criminal offenses under the Israeli Securities Act, 1968, regarding the inclusion of a misleading detail in DIC’s annual and quarterly financial statements in order to mislead a reasonable investor by not attaching the financial statements of certain companies to DIC’s financial statements in respect of the financial reporting periods from 1990 through the first quarter of 1995 filed with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the Israeli Registrar of Companies. In April 2010, the Supreme Court imposed on DIC a fine penalty of NIS 800,000 (then approximately $215,900). None of the activities underlying the legal proceedings described above, which activities ended in May 1995, relate to or involve the Issuer or its business in any way.

(e)           None of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any director or executive officer of RDC, DEP, Elron, DIC, IDB Development and IDB Holding as set forth above has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
