Initial application of new standards and changes in estimates
|
|
a.
|
Interpretation of the Committee for Interpretations of International Financial Reporting IFRIC 21, Levies (hereunder – “the interpretation”)
|
|
The interpretation provides guidelines for the accounting treatment of liabilities for the payment of governmental levies which are covered by IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as well as governmental levies which are not covered by IAS 37, due to the fact that the timing and amounts of their repayment are certain. A “levy” is defined as a negative flow of resources imposed on an entity by the government through legislation and/or regulation.
|
|
The interpretation affects the accounting treatment of betterment levies in the Group’s financial statements, in a manner whereby the liability for payment of betterment levies is recognized on the exercise date of the rights. Accordingly, the measurement of the fair value of the investment property prior to the recognition of the liability to pay betterment fees, includes the negative cash flows attributed to the levy. The interpretation was adopted retrospectively beginning on January 1, 2014. The effect of the retrospective adoption of the interpretation is that sums in the amount of NIS 92 million were written off from the item for other non-financial liabilities, which is included under non-current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2013, and which were taken into account in the calculation of the fair value of the investment property on that date (as a decrease in value).

Following an immaterial adjustment made by Adama to its financial statements for the inventory and the inventory-related deferred tax balances of Adama as at January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013 (as a result of a change in the balance of unrealized gains in respect of inventory sold between subsidiaries of Adama), an immaterial adjustment of comparative figures was applied to these financial statements, as follows:
|
B.
|
An immaterial adjustment was made to these financial statements, which Koor made to its financial statements, regarding the tax amounts that were included in the derivative embedded in the hybrid financial instrument in respect of the non-recourse loan received by Koor as part of the merger of Adama and ChemChina, as at January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2013, as detailed below:

Consolidated financial statements
|
·
|
The Group recognizes goodwill at acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred including any amounts recognized in respect of rights that do not confer control in the acquired entity as well as the fair value at the acquisition date of any pre-existing equity right of the Group in the acquired entity, less the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred to the previous owners of the acquired entity, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the previous owners of the acquired entity and equity instruments issued by the Group. If the Group makes an acquisition at a low price (acquisition includes negative goodwill), it recognizes the gain arising from it on the income statement upon acquisition. Furthermore, goodwill is not adjusted in respect of the utilization of carry-forward tax losses that existed on the date of the business combination. The adjustment for such losses is recognized in profit or loss.
|
·
|
On the acquisition date the acquirer recognizes a contingent liability assumed in a business combination if there is a present obligation resulting from past events and its fair value can be reliably measured.
|
Note 2 – Principles of the Accounting Policy (cont.)
|
A.
|
Consolidated financial statements (cont.)
|
·
|
In a business combination achieved in stages, the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the Group’s pre-existing equity rights in the acquired entity and the carrying amount at that date is recognized in profit or loss under gain on sale and increase in value of investments and assets, dividends and gain from rise to control. For this purpose, the fair value of a marketable asset is its market value, except when circumstances clearly indicate that the fair value of the aforesaid asset is different from its market value.
|
·
|
The consideration paid includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. After the acquisition date, the Group recognizes changes in fair value of the contingent consideration classified as a financial liability in the Statement of Income, whereas contingent consideration classified as an equity instrument is not remeasured. Changes in liabilities for contingent consideration in business combinations that occurred before January 1, 2010, continue to be applied to goodwill and are not recognized in the Statement of Income.
|
·
|
Costs associated with the acquisition that were incurred by the acquirer in the business combination such as: broker’s fees, consulting fees, legal fees, valuations and other fees with respect to professional or consulting services, other than those related to debt or capital issuance with respect to the business combination, are expensed in the period in which the services are rendered.

Other intangible assets
|
|
a.
|
Intangible assets that are acquired in a business combination are recognized at their acquisition date fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired by the Group are measured at cost (including direct costs required in order to bring the assets to operation), less accumulated amortization (other than intangible assets having an indefinite useful life) and impairment losses.
|
|
b.
|
Subsequent expenditure is recognized as an intangible asset only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in income statement as incurred.
|
|
c.
|
Customer relations - The excess cost that was attributed in subsidiaries to customer relations. These customer relations have a finite useful life.
|
|
d.
|
Brand - The excess cost that was attributed in subsidiaries to a brand. Some of the brands have a finite useful life and some have an indefinite useful life.
|
|
e.
|
Lease agreements - Excess cost attributed in a subsidiary to lease agreements. The lease agreements have a limited period of time. The useful life of this asset also takes into consideration options to extend the lease period.
|
|
f.
|
Other than goodwill, for part of the brands and the agreement with Rafael, which have indefinite useful lives, amortization is calculated in accordance with the expected economic benefit from the assets in each period, on the basis of the estimated useful life of each group of assets, from the date that they are available for use i.e. (brought to the working condition for their intended use). If the intangible assets consist of several components with different estimated useful lives, the individual significant components are amortized over their individual useful lives. Intangible assets created in Group companies are not systematically amortized until they are available for use. Therefore, intangible assets not available for use, such as development costs, are tested for impairment at least once a year, until such date as they are available for use.

Capitalization of borrowing costs
|
|
Specific borrowing costs and non-specific borrowing costs were capitalized to qualified assets over the period required for completion and construction, through the date on which they are ready for their designated use. Non-specific credit costs are capitalized to the investment in qualifying assets, or portion thereof, which was not financed with specific credit by means of a rate which is the weighted-average cost of the credit sources which were not specifically capitalized. Exchange rate differentials due to borrowing in foreign currency are capitalized to the extent considered as adjustment to interest costs. Other borrowing costs are recognized in the income statement when incurred. In the event of suspension of active development of a qualifying asset, the capitalization of the credit costs is suspended during that period.

The data includes sums for an investment in Credit Suisse Emerging Markets Credit Opportunity Fund LP (hereunder “EMCO Fund”), 12.2% of which is held by Koor. It should be noted that although the amount of the Group’s holding in the EMCO Fund is less than 20%, it will be subject to the equity accounting method. Koor has a material influence over the EMCO Fund since it has the power to participate in certain material decisions of the Fund, such as decisions pertaining to investment, through a joint representative of Koor and Clal Insurance group representative. Noted that the EMCO Fund statements were prepared for November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, and Koor made the necessary adjustments in its financial statements for the time gap between the aforesaid statements of the EMCO Fund and the financial statements of Koor as of December 31, 2013-2014, respectively.

In January 2014 Shufersal received a tax arrangement from the Israel Tax Authority, according to which an agreement and a plan to separate Shufersal’s real estate was exempt from income tax and betterment tax, in accordance with the provisions of Part E2 of the Income Tax Ordinance, and subject to the terms set forth therein, and accordingly, the separation entered into force from the effective date (March 31, 2013). According to the aforesaid agreement, Shufersal transferred to Shufersal Real Estate, a wholly owned subsidiary of it (“Shufersal Real Estate”), in effect as of March 31, 2013, in consideration for an allotment of shares, most of its real estate and most of its direct holdings in certain subsidiaries that hold real estate, including that debt that is attributable to the transferred assets, with the transferred debt being on the level of the internal relations between Shufersal and Shufersal Real Estate and there being no change in Shufersal’s liabilities to third parties. The purpose of the split is management focusing, development and enhancement of real estate as an additional business area of Shufersal, and exposing value for Shufersal and its shareholders. See also note 32.H. below.

Non-recurring operating expenses with respect to the closure of branches - as stated in note 2.M.2 above, for the purpose of the impairment test, Shufersal branches are combined into geographical regions which constitute separate cash generating units (hereinafter, in this section: “Cash Generating Unit” or “Region”). According to Shufersal’s strategy, the closure of a losing branch in an area that includes additional branches may result in a reduction of the profitability of other branches located in the same geographical area, in other words, there is a dependence between the cash flows of branches in the same geographical area. In light of the foregoing, the impairment test for retail activity is performed on the level of the region, and the recoverable amount is calculated for the cash generating unit.

Reduction of branches - as part of the increased efficiency program, Shufersal intends to reduce the size of branches, and to sublet the remaining areas in the properties. These branches include equipment and leasehold improvements (the “Property”), and in light of the process involving the reduction of the branches’ area, Shufersal evaluated the recoverable amount of the property in these branches, based on fair value less realization costs, and recognized under the item “sales and marketing expenses” impairment losses in the amount of NIS 15 million before tax. The main assumption in determining the aforesaid recoverable amount was that the leasehold improvements in the reduced areas in these branches will not generate economic benefits subsequent to the reduction, and were therefore fully depreciated.

In January 2014, Koor sold its entire balance of its holdings in Credit Suisse shares, for a total consideration of CHF 312 million (NIS 1,202 million). In respect of these realizations, Koor recorded, in the first quarter of 2014, net profit of NIS 64 million. The Company’s share in the aforementioned profit is NIS 32 million.

In November 2014, Adama published a document to register its shares for trade in the U.S.A (“The Registration Document”), as part of which Adama intended to issue shares to the public at the NYSE stock exchange at a price range of USD 16 to USD 18 per share. Due to the conditions of the capital markets,, at that time, Adama decided not to pursue the aforesaid issue and it intends to consider the timing of the issue according to developments in market conditions.
|
|
In view of the postponement of the issue as aforesaid, the Company performed an impairment review with respect to its investment in Adama in its financial statements as of September 30, 2014.
|
|
In addition, as in every period, in its financial statements as of December 31, 2014, the Company updated the value of the hybrid financial instrument for a non-recourse loan that Koor received (for details regarding the financial treatment of the aforesaid financial instrument, see note 16.F.1.d below), based on an opinion given by an independent appraiser.
|
|
The aforesaid impairment review (as of September 30, 2014) and the base asset that was used to measure the hybrid financial instrument and the (K series) bonds (as of December 31, 2014) are based on a fair value in an amount of approximately USD 14.6 and approximately USD 14.7, respectively, per Adama share according to the value per share reflected in the lower range published as part of the aforementioned registration document (USD 16 per Adama share), after deducting the shares’ non-negotiable component at rates of approximately 8.9% and approximately 8.2%, respectively.
|
|
As a result of all of the aforementioned, in 2014 the Company recorded a net loss in an amount of NIS 345 million, which is made up of its share in the impairment of the investment in Adama in an amount of NIS 348 million and its share of finance income, net, in a sum of NIS 3 million for updating the value of the hybrid financial instrument and the (K series) bonds.

For details regarding the components of the hybrid financial instrument in respect of the non-recourse loan as specified and its value on the books, see note 16.F.1.d. below.

Permit to control Koor Tadiran Gemel Ltd.
|
|
On May 8, 2014, the controlling shareholders of the Company at that time, Messrs. Mordechai Ben-Moshe and Eduardo Elsztain, through corporations controlled by them, received a letter from the Commissioner with regard to Koor’s control over Koor-Tadiran Gemel Ltd. (a management company wholly owned by Koor) (“Koor-Tadiran”). The letter stated, inter alia: that a control permit for Koor-Tadiran is held by Koor and not by the controlling shareholders thereof as required, and that the Commissioner is prepared to consider not regarding the transfer of control in the Company to them as an unlawful transfer and also allowing Koor to retain the control permit over Koor-Tadiran provided that no directors who are employed or who have been employed by the companies controlling Koor or who are or were related to the controlling shareholders in the Company will hold office in Koor-Tadiran, on the conditions stated in the letter, and on the condition that the amount of the holding of the means of control in the corporations controlled by the Company and the persons that directly and indirectly hold means of control in Koor will exceed 50% and Koor’s means of control in Koor-Tadiran will not be pledged, all of which until the examination of the application for a control in Koor-Tadiran is completed, or until July 30, 2014, whichever is the earlier.

On July 31, 2014, the controlling shareholders of the Company at that time, Messrs.

This control permit states, inter alia, certain provisions with regard to the amount of the holdings in the holding companies and the making of issues of means of control in them, and it also provides that at least 50% of the means of control that the Company holds in Discount Investments will be unencumbered and free of charges. In March 2015, a revised control permit was received from the Commissioner, in which the requirement included in the permit, that at least 50% of the means of control that the Company holds in Discount Investments will be unencumbered and free of charges, was cancelled, with effect from March 15, 2015.

Should the Company not fulfill its obligation as set forth in section (3) above, then the trustee will be entitled to act in the specified outline in its place, in accordance with all of the authorities vested in it under the stipulations of the trusteeship letter provided to it.

|
5.

Notwithstanding what is stated in sections (1) to (3) above, insofar as the control is sold to a potential buyer that received a control permit from the Commissioner, and the Company retains means of control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings in an amount that requires a holding permit by law, the Company may file an application to receive a holding permit for the means of control that it holds, but what is stated in this section shall not constitute prior approval for the receipt of such a permit. If the Company does not receive a holding permit as aforesaid within six months of the date on which the permit control is given to the potential buyer, this date will be regarded as a terminating event and the provisions of sections 3 and 4 above will apply, mutatis mutandis.
|
|
6.
|
At the end of each quarter, or upon a request of the Commissioner or the trustee, the Company shall deliver to the Commissioner or to the trustee, as applicable, a status report regarding the progress in the sale outline.
|
|
7.
|
It was further stated in the letter that prima facie the Commissioner did not see any reason why the Company should not sell the control also to its controlling shareholders, or to any of them (alone, or jointly with another third party), however the letter has emphasized that any request to receive a control permit, including a request by one of the controlling shareholders in the Company, will be examined, inter alia, also in light of the stipulations of the Centralization Law, and that that stated in the Commissioner’s letter does not constitute an approval that it is possible to perform the sale as specified in accordance with the stipulations of the Centralization Law.
|
|
8.
|
The Commissioner’s letter clarified that there is no practical possibility as far as the Commissioner is concerned, to examine a number of requests for control permits in the Clal Group simultaneously, and insofar as requests requiring such examination are submitted in the future, the examination of these requests will not be done simultaneously.

As required by the Commissioner’s letter, the Company signed an amended trusteeship letter (in the format attached to the Commissioner’s letter). Additionally, it has been clarified in the letter that as long as no other instruction was given by the Commissioner, the following instructions will apply irrevocably:
|
|
a.
|
The trustee will continue to serve in his role as long as the Company holds means of control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, without a permit, in an amount that requires a permit by law, without holding such a permit, or alternatively the Commissioner instructs in writing of the termination of the trustee’s service.
|
|
b.
|
During the trustee’s term of service, the Company and its controlling shareholders will not activate the voting rights attached to the means of control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and the corporations of the Clal Group listed in the Commissioner’s letter, including Clal Insurance Company (“Clal Group Companies”), and refrain from taking any action which may, directly or indirectly, constitute the direction of the business of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings or the Clal Group Companies, including by way of serving as a senior officer in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings or in Clal Group Companies.
|
|
c.
|
During the term of service of the trustee, appointment of directors in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and in the Clal Group Companies will be done in accordance with the mechanisms stated in the Commissioner’s letter of May 8, 2014 (as stated in note 3.H.5.b. above). In this regard, it has been clarified that appointment of directors in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and in Clal Insurance Company will be made by the Committee for the Appointment of Directors in Insurers with no Controlling Owner, according to the meaning thereof in the Control of Financial Services (Insurance) Law, 5741-1981. Insofar as it is not possible to appoint directors by the committee as specified, the appointment of directors in these companies will be done by a different committee appointed by the Minister of Finance or by the Commissioner, or by any other way instructed by the Commissioner.
|
|
10. Subject to compliance with the conditions and restrictions stated in sections (1) to (6) above and in section (9) above, and subject to the receipt of the consent in writing by the Company to all of the conditions stated in the specified letter, the Commissioner shall not view the continued holding of the means of control in the Company and in the Clal Group Companies, as an unlawful holding.

d. The process involving the sale of the control of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings
|
|
Further to the receipt of the Commissioner’s letter from December 30, 2014, and to the outline for the sale of the control of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, as determined therein, as stated above, the Company conducted together with two international investment banks, who were appointed as joint advisors to the Company, a sale process in connection with a possible transaction for the sale of the control of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, in accordance with the milestones which are the subject of the aforementioned outline.
|
|
In the sale process (second stage), three offers were received from groups of bidders, for the acquisition of the Company’s entire holding in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings. The offers which were received, as stated above (including clarifications and updates which were received for those offers) reflected, for Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, the following values: (A) A first offer, according to a value of NIS 4.783 billion (where the consideration will bear annual interest at a rate of 6%, from the signing date of the acquisition agreement until the completion date of the transaction); (B) A second offer, according to a value of NIS 5 billion (where the consideration will be adjusted downwards (proportionately) in the event that the equity of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, on the completion date of the transaction, is lower than NIS 4.508 billion); (C) A third offer, according to a value of NIS 4.7 billion.
|
|
In December 2015, two groups of bidders notified the Company that they had decided to exit the sale process. In January 2016, following two short extensions which the Company received from the Commissioner, to complete the negotiations and the agreement with the third group of bidders, the third group of bidders announced to the Company that it had decided not to continue the process of negotiations for the acquisition of the control of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, and stated, inter alia, that the uncertainty with respect to the regulatory approval process was of concern to the group, and that recent developments, news and other transactions in the Israeli insurance market had increased the aforementioned uncertainty.
|
|
On January 7, 2016, the Company and Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, the controlling shareholder in the Company, received a letter from the Commissioner, in which the Commissioner clarified, inter alia, that in light of the Company’s notice regarding the departure of the third group from the aforementioned sale process, in accordance with the Commissioner's outline dated December 30, 2014, on January 7, 2016, the terminating event had effectively occurred, and as a result, from that date onwards, the Company is required to act in accordance with the provisions of section 9.3 of the outline (which requires the sale of the control means in the stock exchange or by off stock exchange transactions at a rate of at least 5% in each period of 4 months as specified in Note 3.H.5.c.(3) above, and subject to the timetable specified therein.
|
|
On February 11, 2016, the Company received a copy of a letter from the trustees for the bondholders (Series G, I and J) (the trustees) which was sent to the Commissioner. The trustees raise various allegations in the letter and request so as to prevent the considerable and disproportionate damage that will be caused to the public in Israel holding (in itself or through the institutional entities or the banks) the Company's debts (a damage estimated by the trustees to be hundreds of millions of NIS) that the Commissioner instructs the deferment of the subsequent event for the maximum possible period for such sale according to the centralization law. The trustees further allege in their letter that all of the targets underlying the publication of the outline were achieved and implemented ab initio and today other targets can be achieved that will be required by the Commissioner by various means while mitigating the considerable damage that may be caused to the savers, as above (the trustees also attach to their letter an appendix containing calculations and economic analysis conducted in connection with the possible ramifications of selling the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings as well as a reference to solutions proposed in lieu of the sale of shares as above). In this context it should be noted that on February 14, 2016, the company received a copy of a letter from the Protection of Public Savings Organization, which was sent to the Commissioner and which raised similar claims to those raised in the trustees’ letter to the Commissioner.

For details of a motion for an injunction and an urgent motion for a temporary injunction, in which the plaintiff is petitioning for a stay of the proceedings of selling the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings that are held by the Company through the trustee, pursuant to the outline determined by the Commissioner, as stated above, and the Company’s response to the aforesaid motion, see note 23.C.(1).m below.
|

It is noted that prior to the departure of the three groups of bidders from the aforementioned sale process, the Company received a letter from Bank Hapoalim Ltd. (hereinafter: the “Bank”), which holds, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, approximately 9.5% of the issued capital of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, in which the bank claimed, by virtue of a shareholders’ agreement from 1998 between the bank and the Company, with respect to the parties' holdings in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, that the bank is entitled to join the sale of shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings to a strategic partner, and that it has veto rights with respect to the identity of the strategic partner. In light of the above, the bank requested that the Company inform it, within a reasonable period of time in advance, insofar as the transaction involving the sale of the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings is executed, in order to allow the bank to join the transaction, and to update it regarding the identity of the strategic partner, and to submit to it the text of the sale agreement, if any, in order to formulate its position regarding joining the transaction. The Company responded to the bank that, in light of the entire set of circumstances pertaining to the matter, the provisions of the shareholders agreement which pertain to the addition of a strategic partner do not apply to the aforementioned transaction, and accordingly, the bank does not have rights in connection with the aforementioned transaction. It is noted that a similar inquiry by the bank, from August 2013, in connection with a previous transaction for the sale of the Company’s holdings in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings (a transaction which was signed but not completed, as specified in Note 3.H.5.A above), received a similar response from the Company.
|
|
e.
|
The stock exchange value of the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings held by the Company as of December 31, 2014 was NIS 1,696 million.
|
|
The difference between the value of the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings that the Company held shortly before the date of the approval of these financial statements, which stood at NIS 1,319 million, and the value of the shares as of December 31, 2014, is negative and amounts to NIS 377 million.

In March 2015, the Company wrote to the trustee, Mr. Moshe Tery, asking him to act, by virtue of his position as trustee for the company and within the framework of the powers granted to him, in order that Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, subject to the distribution tests provided in the law, would distribute a dividend to its shareholders, on the earliest possible date. In May 2015 the trustee replied that the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings resolved not to approve the distribution of dividends at this stage.
|
|
The Company contacted Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings with a request for clarifications, which were received. In its financial statements for the second quarter of 2015, Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings clarified that the considerations underlying the decision reached by the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, on the date of its decision, included, inter alia, the uncertainties with respect to the capital ratio of Clal Insurance (the ratio between current capital and required capital), under the Solvency II-based solvency regime. The Company intends to continue monitoring the developments on the matter (see Note 3.K.(3)(D) below).

Capital requirements for insurance companies in Israel (cont.)

The Board of Directors of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings supervises the yield on capital, which the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings group defines as comprehensive income (loss) for the period, which is attributed to its shareholders divided by the equity attributed to the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings decides upon the amounts of the dividends for the shareholders. The Board of Directors of Clal Insurance determined the target capital at approximately 12% above the minimum equity required by law (herein: the “target equity”). It is hereby clarified that the above is not a binding equity requirement, but rather an equity level which Clal Insurance will strive to maintain, and no certainty exists that Clal Insurance will meet this target at all times. As of December 31, 2014, Clal Insurance complied with the target equity. The policy of the management of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings is to hold a strong capital basis in order to retain its ability to continue its operations so that it can produce a return for its shareholders, and in order to comply with external equity requirements to which it is subject by virtue of its holding in Clal Insurance, and in order to support the equity needs of its consolidated companies, some of which are subject to external equity requirements, as stated in this section and in section L below, and future business development.
|
|

|
In addition to the general requirements and the Companies Law, dividend distributions performed out of capital surplus in an insurance company are also subject to liquidity requirements, and to compliance with the terms of the Investment Regulations and additional directives published by the Commissioner of Capital Markets from time to time, including a restriction on the ceiling for secondary and tertiary capital (40%). Accordingly, as at September 30, 2015, the amount of the dividend that can be distributed, without the approval of the Commissioner, is restricted to NIS 1,023 million. As stated in Section D below, the regulatory capital requirements for the insurance companies will be determined as from the time of the implementation of the Israeli solvency regime, which is based on the principles of the Solvency II directive, in accordance with the principles for implementation that will be determined.

In November 2014, the Commissioner published a letter to the managers of insurance companies (the “Letter”) regarding an outline for implementing a solvency regime based on Solvency II in Israel. In the letter, the Commissioner announced her intention of publishing, during 2016, guidelines with respect to adapting the European model for calculating capital and the equity requirements to the local market, which would replace the current guidelines, and the insurance companies would be required to comply with these guidelines, starting from the annual financial statements for 2016 (the “Initial Adoption Period”), while over a period to be determined, the insurance companies would also be required to comply with the equity requirements pursuant to the current regulations. As part of the preparations for implementing the model, the Commissioner gave notice of her intention to instruct the insurance companies to implement further Insurance Quantitative Impact Studies (IQIS) for the figures of 2014 and 2015. The purpose of these exercises is to examine the quantitative effects of implementing the model and to calibrate and adjust the model. Furthermore, the Commissioner declared her intention of developing a framework for quarterly reporting on indications of the solvency ratio.
|
|
Likewise, it was noted that the Commissioner intends to publish guidelines regarding the management of capital and the setting of targets for internal capital, regarding a disparity survey that the Companies must carry out with respect to the risk management system, controls and corporate governance, and regarding a position paper for promoting a process for Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA).
|
|
In April 2015, the Commissioner published an additional letter on the subject of “Outline for implementing the Solvency II based solvency regime, and guidelines relating to an IQIS 4 exercise that will be carried out on the statements of 2014. In the Letter, for the avoidance of doubt and for the avoidance of uncertainty in the preparation process, it was emphasized that the exercise reflects the decision of the Commissioner regarding the required adjustments in the Israeli market and they will be given expression in the new guidelines. It was further noted in the Letter that in preparation for implementing IQIS 5, the Commissioner will continue to monitor developments in the European guidelines, to the extent that there are any, and will consider the adjustments that will be required for Israel.

The committee and the management of Clal Insurance commenced this evaluation, and in the first stage, recommended the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance to raise Tier 2 capital. For details regarding the issuance of deferred liability notes which was performed on July 20, 2015, see section 3.(h) below. The committee, together with the management of Clal Insurance, will continue to evaluate possible methods of action in connection with the capital and the capital requirements, in the solvency regime, in parallel to the clarification of the regulatory directives on the matter, and with reference to the results of the exercises to be performed.
|
|
Clal Insurance prepared an evaluation of the impact of the aforementioned directives on the calculation of its capital ratio as at December 31, 2014 (the “Calculation Date”), in accordance with the instructions for the performance of the IQIS exercise. According to the results of the evaluation, as of the calculation date, Clal Insurance complies with the capital requirements as of the date of initial application of the solvency regime, in consideration of the transitional provisions, before taking into account the positive impact on the capital ratio as of the calculation date of the issuance of the deferred liability notes (as specified in section 3.(h) below). The results of the exercise were submitted to the Commissioner of Capital Markets on August 31, 2015. Clal Insurance will continue preparing for the implementation of the quantitative aspects of the solvency regime, before its entry into effect, and once the details of the final guidelines have been clarified, inter alia, with respect to the data, calculation processes and required controls.
|
|
The ramifications of the Solvency II based solvency regime constitute prospective information which depends, inter alia, on the final version of the provisions that will be received, inter alia, in view of the Commissioner’s position that she intends to continue monitoring developments in the European guidelines, insofar as there will be any, and to consider the adjustments that will be required for Israel, and also the capital position on the date of initial adoption may be different from the capital position as of the calculation date, in view of the inherent sensitivity of the capital calculation model and the capital requirements in the solvency regime, changes in market variables, demographic variables and other variables, and developments in the business operations of Clal Insurance, which may result in fluctuations in the capital ratio from period to period.
|
|
e.
|
The capital requirements under the Capital Regulations will continue to be based on solo financial statements. In order to calculate recognized capital in accordance with the Capital Regulations, an insurance company’s investment in an insurance company or in a controlled managing company, as well as in other investees, will be calculated on an equity basis using the ultimate holding rate for them.

The minimum equity required of Clal Insurance was reduced, with the Commissioner’s approval, in respect of the original difference attributed to the managing companies and to the provident funds which are under its control, at a rate of 35% of the balance of the original aforementioned difference. When calculating the amount permitted for dividend distribution, this reduction will be added to each capital level required (see details in Section 3c above). In September 2013, Clal Insurance received a letter from the Commissioner stipulating that the amount of the reduction that will be added to the minimum required capital, in calculating the amount permitted for distribution as a dividend, will be after deduction of the accumulated tax reserve at Clal Insurance in view of the acquisition of provident fund activity. It is also noted that this authorization will be revoked upon the entry into validity of the capital requirements set forth in the first layer of the Directive (see section d. above) that will replace the Capital Requirements, and does not reflect the control policy for implementation of the above requirements.

In March 2013, Clal Insurance received a letter from the Commissioner according to which, concerning the instructions of the law on credit rating, the rating determined according to the internal credit rating model of Clal Insurance will be considered a rating which corresponds, in terms of risk, to the rating of a rating company, according to the conditions and for the branches determined. In accordance with the Commissioner’s approval, Clal Insurance is permitted to allocate equity in respect of matching loans, which are rated according to the internal model according to the percentages set forth in the Capital Regulations. If a loan exists with an external rating, the allocation of equity will be according to the lower of the ratings. The letter stipulates that Clal Insurance is required to file immediate and periodical reports as detailed in the annex to the letter. Likewise, by March 2 2014, the supplements required by the Commissioner regarding validation and control were provided. Clal Insurance implemented the aforementioned instructions, and, as a result, the capital requirements decreased by NIS 37 million, correct as at the end of 2014.
|
|
On May 29, 2015, Clalbit Finance published a shelf prospectus (the “Shelf Prospectus”). The shelf prospectus allows, inter alia, the issuance of debentures and warrants convertible into debentures, the consideration for which will be deposited in Clal Insurance, which will be responsible for repaying them to the debenture holders, and which will be recognized in Clal Insurance as hybrid Tier 2 capital and/or as hybrid Tier 3 capital, as applicable, in accordance with the definition of these terms as specified in the shelf prospectus.
|
|
On July 20, 2015, Clalbit Finance issued to the public two new debenture series: Debentures (Series I) and Debentures (Series J), by virtue of the shelf prospectus (the “Debentures”).
|
|
As part of the issuance, Clalbit Finance raised:
|
|
-
|
A total of NIS 257 million par value of debentures (Series I). The principal will be repaid in a single payment on July 31, 2028. The principal and interest are linked to the consumer price index for June 2015. The interest on the debentures (Series I) is paid on an annual basis, in two semi-annual payments beginning on January 31, 2016, on January 31 and July 31 of each calendar year between the years 2016-2028. The annual stated interest rate is 2.48%, and the annual effective interest rate is 2.61%.
|
|
-
|
A total of NIS 332 million par value of debentures (Series J). The principal will be repaid in a single payment on July 31, 2027. The principal and interest are not CPI-linked. The interest on the debentures (Series J) is paid on an annual basis, in two semi-annual payments beginning January 31, 2016, on January 31 and July 31 of each calendar year, between the years 2016-2027. The annual stated interest rate is 3.92%, and the annual effective interest rate is 4.09%.
|
|
As specified in the shelf prospectus, the (gross) consideration which was received by Clalbit Finance following the issuance of the new debentures as part of the aforementioned issuance, was deposited in Clal Insurance as a deferred deposit, with repayment and interest terms which are identical to the terms of the debentures. The debentures are recognized as hybrid Tier 2 capital in Clal Insurance, subject to restrictions on the maximum rate of Tier 2 capital and Tier 3 capital, as specified in section (3)(B) above and accordingly, a total of NIS 155 million was not recognized as capital as at September 30, 2015, which will be recognized against future repayments, and against the recording of profits, if any, which will be added to Tier 1 capital.

Clal Insurance is required to supplement the equity required of Clal Credit Insurance according to the Capital Regulations up to 50% of the required capital, only in the event that the equity of Clal Credit Insurance is negative, and will be valid so long as Clal Insurance is the controlling shareholder of Clal Credit Insurance.

Clal Insurance is required to supplement, at any time, the shareholders capital of Clal Pension and Provident, to the amount stipulated in the Income Tax Regulations (Regulations for Approval and Management of Provident Funds), 5724-1964. This undertaking will remain in force so long as Clal Insurance controls Clal Pension and Provident Funds, either directly or indirectly.

Capital requirements in companies that manage pension funds and provident funds

|

|
In February 2012, the Supervision of Financial Services Regulations (Provident Funds) (Minimum Equity Capital Required of a Managing Company of a Provident Fund or Pension Fund) Regulations, 5772-2012, and Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Approval and Management of Provident Funds) (hereinafter: the “New Regulations”) were published. Pursuant to the New Regulations, the capital requirements of managing companies were expanded, and they include capital requirements in accordance with the extent of the assets under management and the annual expenses, but not less than an initial capital of NIS 10 million.
|
|
As of the end of the reporting period, Clal Insurance and the managing companies under its control have a capital surplus with respect to the minimum capital required in the capital regulations regarding the managing companies. In September 30, 2015, subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, Clal Insurance injected NIS 100 million against the allocation of shares of Clal Pension and Provident Funds at its value, in accordance with the approval of the Board of Directors of Clal Insurance on August 30, 2015, for the purpose of financing operating activities and investing activities in the automation systems of Clal Pension and Provident Funds, and the existence of future liquidity.
|
|
2.
|
In view of the publication of the capital regulations for managing companies and for the purpose of financing investing activities and operating activities, which include, inter alia, investment in development of a system to manage member rights in the pension funds, investment in the development of a system to manage member rights in provident funds, as well as repayment of agent commissions (which are charged to deferred acquisition costs (DAC)) to Clal Insurance, the boards of directors of Clal Insurance and Clal Pension and Provident approved the creation of a credit facility from Clal Insurance to Clal Pension and Provident Funds, up to a cumulative total of NIS 150 million, which was used up in its entirety by the end of 2013. The amounts that were withdrawn as part of the updated credit facility, will bear interest until their repayment date at an annual rate of 4.7%.
|
|
On February 5 2014, after a decision was taken to convert the updated credit facility into a capital note, Clal Pension and Provident issued a non-tradable capital note to Clal Insurance, at the level of Clal Pension and Provident’s obligation towards Clal Insurance as at December 31 2013, in a total amount of NIS 156.4 million (“Capital Note”).
|
|
In accordance with its terms, the Capital Note is unlinked and does not bear interest of any kind; the Capital Note is not secured by any sureties and no liens and/or other sureties of any kind will be recorded securing repayment of the Capital Note; Clal Insurance is not entitled to repayment of the Capital Note except in case of the liquidation of Clal Pensions and Provident and after repayment of its debts to its creditors. as part of the signing of the capital note, Clal Pension and Provident’s obligation as part of the updated credit was discharged and it will not be required to any amount to Clal Insurance.
|
|
On April 22, 2014 Clal Insurance converted the capital note, so that the par value of the capital note in the amount of NIS 156.4 million, would be considered as additional investment in the books of Clal Pension and Provident Funds as share premium, without additional Clal Pension and Provident Funds shares being allocated in respect of the conversion.
|
|
In November 2014 Clal Insurance injected a total of NIS 80 million against the allocation of Clal Pension and Provident Funds shares according to its value, in accordance with the approval by the Board dated October 26, 2014 to finance operating activities and investment activities of Clal Pension and Provident Funds and the existence of future liquidity.

Additional information

|
1.
|
The balance of borrowing costs capitalized as part of fixed assets as at December 31, 2014 amounts to NIS 35 million (as at December 31, 2013 – NIS 28 million). It is noted, that Shufersal acquired land with the intention of constructing a logistics center on it, which will be used for fixed assets. Costs invested in the land and equipment during 2014 amounted to NIS131 million, and included borrowing costs which were capitalized to the fixed asset is under construction totaling NIS 7 million. The nominal discount rate used to determine the capitalized borrowing costs is 4.42%. Shufersal has no specific borrowing costs.
|
|
2.
|
The cost of fixed assets as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is presented after the deduction of investment grants received totaling NIS 39 million.
|
|
3.
|
During the ordinary course of business, the Group acquires fixed assets using credit. The cost amounts, which have not yet been paid as at December 31, 2014 are NIS 203 million (as at December 31, 2013 – NIS 99 million).
|
|
4.
|
Fixed assets under construction as at December 31, 2014 amount to NIS 291 million (as at December 31, 2013 – NIS 167 million).
|
|
5.
|
The fair value of fixed assets, recognized as part of a business combination is based on an estimate of the amount for which the fixed assets could have been replaced on the day of the valuation with different assets of similar characteristics of use, in a transaction between a willing seller and a willing buyer, acting rationally in a transaction unaffected by a special relationship between the parties. Accordingly:
|
•
|
The market value of land and buildings was valued by a real estate appraiser.
|
•
|
The market value of leasehold improvements and equipment, facilities and vehicles in the branches was valued according to their depreciated cost on Shufersal’s books, which is a close approximation of their fair value, in light of the reasonable depreciation rates applied to them.
|
•
|
The market value of items located in the factories, equipment and fixtures, as well as facilities, is based on the quoted market values of similar items, insofar as such are available, and replacement costs when such quotes as specified are unavailable. The estimate of reduced replacement costs takes into account adjustments in respect of physical erosion and functional and economical obsolescence of the fixed asset item.

Update of fair value
|
|
1.
|
On December 31, 2014 the fair value of the HSBC Building in New York City was updated to an amount of USD 763 million, according to a valuation prepared by an independent appraiser in the U.S.A. The previous valuation of this property was prepared for March 31, 2014 and amounted to USD 715 million. Consequently, these financial statements include income totaling NIS 272 million, from an increase in fair value of investment property, a provision for payment of consultation services totaling NIS 45 million to a former interested party (included in these financial statements under the item “General and administrative expenses”) and deferred tax expenses totaling NIS 85 million.
|
|
The net profit arising for Property & Building from the update of value of the HSBC Building amounted to NIS 142 million and the Company’s share in this profit amounted to NIS 81 million. For details regarding an update of the fair value assessments with respect to the HSBC Building, as of September 30, 2015, subsequent to the date of the Statement of Financial position, see Note 35.C.6. below.
|
|
2.
|
On June 30, 2014, Property & Building updated the fair value estimates for all of its investment property in Israel as a year had elapsed since the previous estimate. The change in the fair value was primarily due to a significant change in the cash flows expected to arise from its properties, due to the fact that they are leased through CPI-linked contracts (which increased at a rate of approximately 1% from the date of the last update of the fair value estimates of all of Property & Building’s investment property in Israel, which was performed in June 2013), and due to the real increase in rent charged for Property & Building’s revenue-generating properties in Israel.
|
|
3.
|
The valuation of the Tivoli project in Las Vegas was updated to September 30, 2014 to an amount of USD 278 million. As a result, the Company and Property & Building each recognized an impairment of approx. NIS 11 million. The Company’s share in this impairment in the consolidated financial statements amounted to NIS 17 million. For details regarding the value of the Tivoli project in the Financial Statements of GW as at September 30, 2015, subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, see Note 35.C.7. below.

Fair value is estimated using revenue discount techniques*: the valuation model is based on the present value of the estimated NOI (Net Operating Income) arising from the property. The valuation of real estate is based on net annual cash flows, discounted by a discount rate that reflects the specific risks embodied therein, and, as generally accepted, in comparable assets. Actual lease agreements, in respect of which payments differ from appropriate rental, if any, are subject to adjustments in order to reflect actual lease payments in the period of the agreement. Valuations take into account the type of lessees actually occupying the leased property, or responsible for settling the liabilities resulting from the lease terms, or lessees that might occupy the property following the lease of a vacant property, including a general assessment of their credit worthiness; the distribution of responsibility between the Group and the lessee in respect of the maintenance and insurance of the property; the physical condition and the remaining economic life of the property, wherever these parameters are relevant.

Additional details on principal cash-generating units that include goodwill or an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life
|
|
(1)
|
As at December 31, 2014, goodwill and a brand with an indefinite useful life attributable to Cellcom amount to NIS 2.14 billion and NIS 0.231 billion, respectively.
|
|
(2)
|
As at December 31, 2014, goodwill attributable to Shufersal’s retail activity amounts to NIS 755 million. The recoverable amount of Shufersal’s activity as at December 31, 2014, was assessed by an external appraiser on the basis of its value in use, as detailed in section D.2 below.
|
|
(3)
|
The Group has a number of consolidated companies, the operations of which have been attributed goodwill in an amount that is immaterial compared to the balance of goodwill in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The value of Property & Building’s operations is based on Property & Building’s stock exchange value as at December 31, 2014 (and in the required adjustments in respect of the fair value of Property & Building’s financial liabilities) which is higher than the value of the specified operations in these financial statements. The recoverable amount of the operations of other companies was determined on the basis of examinations for impairment performed, including economic studies, performed by external appraisers using the value in use method. The recoverable amount of the specified operations is higher than their value in the financial statements. In those cases where the recoverable amount was found to be lower than the carrying amount, impairment reductions of immaterial amounts were recorded.

|
Examination for impairment in investee companies in 2014
|
|
(1)
|
In view of a decline in Cellcom’s market value and the intensifying competition in the cellular market in Israel, which led to a decline in Cellcom’s profitability, Discount Investments performed an examination for impairment of the goodwill attributed to Cellcom as at December 31, 2014. Further to that stated in note 3.G.3 above with regard to the structural changes being examined, the recoverable amount of Cellcom’s operations as at December 31, 2014 was calculated using the value in use method.
|
|
(2)
|
Discount Investments carried out an examination for impairment of the goodwill attributable to Shufersal as at December 31, 2014. Further to that stated in Note 3.G.3 above with regard to the examined structural changes, the recoverable amount of Shufersal’s operations as at December 31, 2014 was calculated using the value in use method.
|
|
The value of the assets attributable to Shufersal’s activity less the liabilities attributable to its activity in the financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2014 (including deferred tax balances attributable to excess costs created upon the acquisition of Shufersal, against which goodwill was recorded by Discount Investments) (“The value of Shufersal’s operations in the financial statements”), is higher than the middle of the range specified in the aforesaid economic paper for the recoverable amount of Shufersal’s activity at that date. Therefore, the Company recorded its share in an impairment in an amount if NIS 130 million with respect to the impairment of the aforesaid goodwill, based on the middle of the range of the valuation of the recoverable amount as at December 31, 2014, as determined in the specified economic paper.
|
|
The nominal discount rate after tax and the long term growth rate used in the specified economic paper to determine the middle of the range determined within it for the recoverable amount are 8.5% and 2.3%, respectively.

A.

The Company’s registered and issued share capital
|
|
The Company’s registered share capital as at December 31, 2013, consisted of 100 million ordinary “A” class shares with a nominal value of NIS 1 each, and the issued share capital amounted to NIS 57,587,883, of which a total of 11,336,914 ordinary A shares were dormant shares (as defined in section 308 of the Companies Law) (“Dormant Shares”), which did not grant voting rights/ any rights. The remaining shares (46,250,969 ordinary A shares) were held by IDB Holdings on December 31, 2013.
|
|
In January 2014, as a result of the approval of the debt arrangement at IDB Holdings as detailed in Note 16.G.2.a below, the dormant shares were transferred to the trustees for the arrangement, for the purpose of complying with such arrangement.
|
|
On May 1, 2014, the Company decided, in accordance with the stipulations of the debt arrangement at IDB Holdings, to cancel the dormant shares and to cancel the Company’s entire registered unallocated capital of Type A shares, to unify the registered, issued and paid-up capital of the Company, in a manner whereby all of the Company’s 46,250,969 issued shares (the issued and paid-up capital less the dormant shares) will be unified into a single ordinary share, and to cancel the nominal value of the aforementioned ordinary share (“The consolidation of capital”), in a manner whereby, after the capital consolidation, the Company’s issued capital included one ordinary share with no nominal value. The aforesaid ordinary share without nominal value was split to 200 million ordinary shares with no nominal value (“ordinary shares”), and the Company’s registered capital amounted to 500 million ordinary shares.

Irrevocable offer received from Dolphin Netherlands to raise capital for the Company in December 2014 – on January 1, 2015, after having received the recommendations of the independent committee on this matter, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved, on the basis of Dolphin Netherlands’ offer (which was in effect until that date), to raise capital, which was received by the Company on December 29, 2014, that the Company will act to raise capital by way of a rights issue in accordance with the outline of the offer. For details regarding a rights issue performed by the Company in February 2015, in accordance with the outline of the stated offer, see note 15.B.(6) below.
|
|
In the aforementioned offer it was determined, inter alia, that the Company will immediately perform a rights issue of a scope of approximately NIS 800 million (including the public’s share) (“the maximum immediate consideration”), in which the following will be issued to the existing shareholders of the Company: (a) shares of the Company (“the rights offer shares”) and (b) share options (issued for no consideration) exercisable for shares of the Company (“the share options”). The maximum possible consideration for the Company from the exercising of all of the share options is approximately NIS 1.2 billion (including the public’s share).

Note 15 – Equity and Reserves (cont.)
|
|
It should be noted that Dolphin Netherlands and Dolphin Fund exercised the full rights inrespect of31.27% of the issued share capital in their possession at that time, and Dolphin Netherlands alsoacquired additional rights units within the ordinary trade on the stock exchange, which constituted approximately 17.28% of the rights units, and exercised the additional rights units it acquired as specified and as a result increased its investment in the Company, and the percentage of its holdings in the Company’s shares (together with Dolphin Fund) to approximately 61.48% (approximately 70.33% with full dilution). In light of CAA not participating in the rights issue, CAA’s rate of holding in the Company was diluted to a rate of approximately 16.20% (approximately 12.43% in full dilution). (For details regarding the completion of the buy me buy you process in which CAA ceased being a shareholder in the Company, see Note 15.b.(9) below).

Prior to the publication of the shelf offering dated January 19, 2015, the Company, Mr. EduardoElsztain and corporations under his control, including Dolphin Netherlands, submitted to the AntitrustCommissioner, in the interest of caution, a request to exempt them of the duty to file a merger notice, insofar as such is required, in case that as a result of the rights issue in accordance with the aforesaid shelf offer report, the rate of holding by corporations under Mr. Elsztain’s control in the issued share capital of the Company exceeds 50%, and that at the date of publication of the specified shelf offer report the Antitrust Commission’s reply was received, the meaning of which is that the Company and corporations under Mr. Elsztain’s control as specified, are exempt from the duty to file a merger notice in circumstances as specified, insofar as this arises, and so long as Mr. Elsztain has no business activity in Israel, apart from the Company’s operations.

|
|
In a meeting which was held in April 2015, between Company management, the representatives of its controlling shareholders, and the trustees for the holders of the Company’s debentures, the trustees for the debentures requested, inter alia, to schedule an earlier date, in June 2015, for the performance of an injection into the Company in the amount of approximately NIS 159 million, by Dolphin Netherlands, on account of Dolphin Netherlands’ undertakings as part of the rights issue which was performed by the Company in February 2015 (see Notes 15.B.(5) and (6) above). The trustees for the debentures agreed to wait for the Company’s response and to delay the sending of a letter of demand to the Company, and insofar as the aforementioned letter will be sent, in case the demands will not be met, they noted that they may convene a meeting of debenture holders for the purpose of receiving instructions.
|
|
Further to the above, on May 6, 2015, a letter was submitted to the Company by the trustee for the Company’s debentures (Series I), in which the aforementioned trustee announced, inter alia, that if, by May 8, 2015, a written notice has not been received from Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, or from a corporation under his control, addressed to the Company and to the trustees for the debenture holders, stating that he or companies under his control will invest a total of NIS 159 million no later than May 20, 2015, the trustee will convene an urgent meeting of the debenture holders to receive instructions from the debenture holders regarding the appropriate method of action, in light of the circumstances.

|
|
(2) Dolphin Netherlands will agree to schedule an earlier date for its obligation to exercise the warrants (Series 4), in the amount of NIS 150 million (the “Warrants”), in a manner whereby the Company will be entitled to demand that Dolphin Netherlands exercise the warrants, beginning on May 20, 2015 (instead of July 19, 2015); provided that, prior to May 20, 2015, the Company will receive from the trustees for the Company’s debentures (the “Trustees”) an irrevocable undertaking in writing, stating that by July 20, 2015, and except if they are required to do so by law, the trustees will not independently initiate, or will not convene a meeting of debenture holders, the agenda of which will include any of the following subjects: (A) The appointment of any advisors whatsoever (financial, legal or others); (B) The appointment of a representative committee on behalf of the debenture holders; (C) The initiation of any legal proceedings against the Company; and (D) A demand for early or immediate repayment of any of the Company’s debts; or any other subject which is similar to the aforementioned subjects. Dolphin Netherlands will be entitled to exercise the warrants, independently or through another entity under the control of Mr. Eduardo Elsztain.
|
|

(12) Resolution of the Board of Directors of the company of January 24, 2016, to act to raise capital by way of an offering to the public and increasing the nominal capital of the company in February 2016
|
|
On January 24, 2016, the Board of Directors of the company resolved, in view of the Company’s cash flow and capital needs, to act swiftly, and no later than February 2016, in order to raise capital by way of an offering to the public of approximately 700 million ordinary shares, at a share price that will not be less than 71.4 agorot per share (a price that reflects an offering on a scale of approximately NIS 500 million). Further to the aforesaid, on February 1, 2016, the company received a letter that was sent to the Company and the directors of the Company, from the attorney of shareholders of the Company, which claimed that the Company’s resolution to offer the shares as aforesaid requires approval pursuant to the provisions of section 275 of the Companies Law, including the approval of the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders with a majority that includes a majority of the shareholders that have no personal interest in the offering (‘triple approval’). It is claimed in the letter, inter alia, that the controlling shareholder and the directors have a personal interest in making the offering, on the scale of the offering, on the date of making the offering and at the minimum price at which the offering will be made. In addition, it is claimed in the letter that the offering will cause economic harm to the (current) minority shareholders of the Company. It is further claimed in the letter that in the absence of a triple approval the offering can be cancelled and the Company is required to give notice as to whether it intends to approve the offering with a triple approval. Following the resolution of the Board and the letter from the attorney for the shareholder, as above, on February 2, 2016, the Company received a letter that was sent to the Company and the directors of the Company by the trustees for the holders of 3 bond series in which they claimed, inter alia, that there neither is nor can there be any doubt regarding the need for an immediate capital injection into the Company. It was further claimed in the aforesaid letter that all that the minority shareholders want is to prevent the dilution of their holdings when they have the right to participate in the raising of capital and thereby to try to maintain or even increase their share in the Company. It is further claimed that any resolution that the Board will make, apart from sticking to or even expanding the resolution to raise significant capital by way of an offering of shares, is likely to lead to a creditor preference when making any payment of the company to its financial creditors. The trustees for the bonds claimed that insofar as the making of the offering will be stopped, they shall be compelled to act immediately to protect the rights of the bondholders. The trustees of the bonds also said that the IDB Holdings’ arrangement did not include, expressly or by implication, any dilution protection of the minority shareholders against future offerings, and moreover within the framework of the amendment to the arrangement between the parties, which was approved by the court after approval of the minority shareholders (see details regarding the interim arrangement in note 16.G.(2)(l) below), consent of the minority shareholders was given to a compensation mechanism in the event of the raising of capital by the Company.
|
|
Further to the aforesaid, on February 9, 2016, the Company received a letter that was sent to the Company’s attorney by the attorney of the Company’s series 4 option holders, in which it was claimed that further to the decision of the court regarding the postpone of the date for exercising the Company’s series 4 options (as stated in note 15.B.(11) above), the Company was requested to join the series 4 option holders in any negotiations relating to the tender officer that the controlling shareholder is liable to make and/or the offering of the Company’s securities and/or any arrangement relating to the Company. In addition, according to the letter the Company is requested to perform the tender offer in its original format and to refrain from making any offering before the tender offer, since according to the series 4 option holders, the Company is prohibited from doing this in the present circumstances, including in view of the fact that owners of securities have an improper personal interest therein without obtaining their consent in a manner that is prohibited by law and/or that it will involve an improper personal interest of the controlling shareholder that was not settled in a suitable proceeding and/or that it will constitute prohibited trading in an asset that belongs to the holders of the Company’s securities, and in any case it will constitute a prohibited prejudice of the reliance of the holders of the Company’s options. In response to their letter, the Company rejected the demands that were raised therein for the reason that the decision of the court does not give the series 4 option holders the right to the aforesaid demands and that they have no legal basis.

(12) Resolution of the Board of Directors of the company of January 24, 2016, to act to raise capital by way of an offering to the public and increasing the nominal capital of the company in February 2016 (cont.)
|
|
Further to the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company in January 2016 to raise capital on February 15, 2016, by way of an offering to the public on a scale that will not be less than a sum of NIS 15 million (as stated in note 16.H.(8) below), the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company as stated above to act no later than the end of February 2016 to raise capital by way of an offering to the public at a share price that reflects an offering on a scale of approximately NIS 500 million, and in view of the postponement of the date for exercising the Company’s series 4 options (as stated in note 15.B.(11) above), on February 15, 2016, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company gave their approval that the Company may receive from Dolphin Netherlands, no later than February 18, 2016, a loan in a sum of NIS 15 million (‘the subordinated debt’), by way of a subordinated debt, on identical terms to the subordinated debt that was given to the Company by Dolphin Netherlands on December 8, 2015 (as stated in note 16.G.(2)(l) below), but without a right to convert it into shares of the Company. This amount (or a part thereof) shall be automatically converted into share capital within the framework of the offering (or within the framework of any other type of capital that the Company will raise, in an amount that will not be less than NIS 15 million, if it raises any), such that the amount that will be converted into capital as aforesaid will be the amount of the difference between NIS 15 million and (1) the amount of the capital that will be raised by the Company within the framework of the offering (or any other raising of capital, as aforesaid), and (2) any amont that will be injected into the Company as capital prior to the date of the offering (or the raising of other capital, as aforesaid), and the balance will be returned to Dolphin Netherlands in such a way that does not conflict with any other undertaking of the Company. Since Dolphin Netherlands has a personal interest in the aforesaid resolution by virtue of the fact that it is a party to the subordinated debt agreement, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the subordinated loan is a beneficial transaction and therefore it was approved pursuant to regulation 1(2) of the Companies (Concessions in Transactions with Interested Parties) Regulations, 5760-2000. On February 18, 2016, a sum of NIS 15 million was received in the Company’s account from Dolphin Netherlands.
|
|
Further to the aforesaid resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company regarding the offering of shares as aforesaid, on February 18, 2016, the general meeting of the Company approved the increase of the registered share capital of the Company by 700,000,000 ordinary shares with no nominal value, so that the registered share capital of the Company after the increase is 2,700,000,000 ordinary shares with no nominal value.
|
|
For details of an agreed outline that was signed on February 25, 2016 (as amended on March 1, 2016), between the trustees of the debt arrangement in IDB Holdings, Dolphin Netherlands and the Company, for the injection of money into the Company instead of the undertaking to make tender offers for the shares of the Company within the framework of the debt arrangement in IDB Holdings and instead of the making of an offering to the public in an amount of NIS 500 million pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company of January 24, 2016, as stated above, see note 16.G.(2)(m) below.

In December 2010, the Company signed an agreement with a banking institution that previously provided it with a loan of NIS 750 million. As part of the agreement, each of the (equal semi-annual) principal payments of the loan will be deferred for three years, so that instead of the payments being executed semi-annually commencing from March 2011 through March 2015, they will be executed semi-annually commencing from March 2014 through March 2018. In addition, each of the principal payments will bear, commencing from their initial dates of payment until the new dates of payment (i.e., for a three-year period), interest on the basis of the Prime rate plus a margin of 1.3% instead of the fixed interest that was paid until the original repayment dates. In accordance with the aforementioned consent, additional refinancing of current principal payments in respect of this loan were also performed in March and September of 2014, and a final refinancing was made in March 2015. For information pertaining to financial restrictions and covenants in connection with the aforementioned loan and additional loans of the Company, see note 16.E. below.

In accordance with the Court’s decision from October 17, 2013, 65% of the aforementioned funds were released in favor of the creditors to which they were due, including the income accumulated in the deposit account in respect of these amounts, and as of that date the Company was required to continue to pay its payments to its financial creditors, so that 65% of them will be transferred to the creditors to which they are due, and 35% will continue to be transferred to the aforesaid trusteeship account.
|
|
In January 2014, the full balance of these funds was released by the observer, in accordance with the Court’s decision dated January 15, 2014.
|
|
As of the date of release of the balance of funds, the Company transferred and is transferring to its financial creditors, the full payments to which they are due, in accordance with the payment schedules of their loans.
|
|
In 2013 the Company received letters from its lending corporations according to which their position is that the Company has violated the loan agreement with them and that they are entitled, inter alia, to arrears interest payment with respect to any payment unpaid and/or not expected to be paid to them at its due date.
|
|
As part of a motion filed with the Court in November 2013 by a bank creditor of the Company (whose loan was finally repaid according to its payment schedule in January 2014), the Company was required to pay all of the interest payments (including excess interest) to which the aforesaid bank creditor is entitled according to the loan agreement in respect of the funds held in trusteeship by the observer as stated above. The Company’s position is that the payment transfers made to the observer, in accordance with the Court’s decision, constitute full repayment of its liabilities, and accordingly the relevant creditors are not entitled to arrears interest payment in respect of them and the Company has claims also with regard to the non-entitlement to interest and linkage beyond the interest on the deposit which was held by the observer. On March 27, 2014, the observer filed, following the Official Receiver’s offer to authorize the observer to manage the negotiations between the parties, a settlement proposal, subject to the consent of the Company and the creditors, according to which the Company will bear approximately one third of the difference between the contractual interest (which does not include arrears interest) and the interest on the deposit accumulated on the observer’s account, meaning in total the Company will pay approximately NIS 7 million to its creditors, beyond the interest on the deposit which has been paid to them. On September 21, 2014, a hearing was held on the aforementioned motion, in which the Court instructed that it would be appropriate for the parties to reach a settlement. The parties were requested to notify the representative of the parent company whether they accepted the aforementioned proposal by the observer. On September 30, 2014, the trustees for the Company’s bonds Series G, I and J announced, in light of the Court’s position, as expressed in the hearing dated September 21, 2014, their intention to notify the Court on October 7, 2014 of their agreement for the Court to determine the matter of the interest payment by way of a settlement.
|
|
Additionally, in a meeting of the holders of the Company’s Series C bonds, held on October 1, 2014, a decision was reached to instruct the trustee for the series C bonds to agree to the observer’s settlement proposal. Further to the creditor’s aforementioned notices, on October 20, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to accept the settlement proposal, with respect to the creditors who had agreed to it. In light of the above, the Company requested the Court to approve the settlement proposal with those of the Company’s creditors who have agreed to it (Bank Hapoalim, Israel Discount Bank, Bank Mizrahi Tefahot, HSBC Bank, BNP Bank, Harel Insurance Company, and the holders of the Company's bonds (Series C, G, H, I & J) in a manner whereby they will be paid a total of NIS 6.4 million, in accordance with the proportion of the distribution between the creditors, as set forth in the observer’s settlement proposal, while determining in its decision that the Company’s consent does not derogate from its rights and claims regarding any entities which have not agreed to the settlement – Sky Fund. On October 26, 2014, a ruling was given on the settlement by the Court, with respect to the dispute between the Company and all of the parties, excluding Sky Fund.

Payment of interest to the Company’s creditors in respect of amounts deposited in the observer’s trusteeship account (cont.)
|
|
The Court stated that the proposal weighed, in a balanced manner, all of the risks and rewards of each of the parties to the request, and ordered payment to the creditors (excluding Sky Fund) in the total amount of NIS 6.4 million, by December 1, 2014.
|
|
This amount was paid in full by the Company during November 2014, and accordingly, the Company reversed, in the fourth quarter of 2014, a provision in an amount of NIS 15 million.
|
|
With respect to Sky Fund, due to the fact that it has not filed a motion with the Court on the matter, the Court determined that its claims should not be heard, and insofar as it will file a motion with the authorized Court, such claims will be heard. The balance of the provision on the books as at December 31, 2014 in respect of the interest for the period in which payments for the creditors were deposited into the trust account, amounted to a total of NIS 1.5 million.

In connection with the funds which were deposited in the observer’s account and which were released in accordance with the Court’s decisions dated October 17, 2013 and January 15, 2014, as stated above, it is noted that the trustees for the Company’s bonds Series G, I and J offset, from the payments which had been released and transferred to them, as stated above, amounts for the purpose of covering the expenses of the relevant trustee and his agents, and covering additional expenses, which according to the specified trustees, it was the Company’s duty to bear. During the reporting period, the Company reached agreements with the trustees to the bonds, and paid a total of NIS 890 thousand, net, in respect of the trustee’s expenses, as stated above. On September 17, 2014, each of the trustees for the aforementioned bonds announced that, following negotiations between the trustee’s service providers, the trustee and the Company, agreements had been reached regarding the reduction of the payments to the service providers, and payment of their fees by the Company, and that such agreements allowed repayment, to the aforementioned bond holders, some of the amounts which had been offset, as stated above. In light of the above, on September 30, 2014, the trustees for the aforementioned bonds repaid to the holders of the aforementioned series of bonds, who held the bonds on the relevant specified dates( with respect to Series G and I - July 4, 2014 and with respect to Series J – November 28, 2013), NIS 1,280 thousand out of the amounts that had been offset by the trustees to cover the aforementioned expenses.

In January 2014, Discount Investment Corporation issued to the public, according to its shelf offer report of January 2014, which was published pursuant to its shelf prospectus of December 2013 (which amended its shelf prospectus of June 2013), series F linked bonds with a nominal value of NIS 898 million, by way of an expansion of the series, in return for the acquisition of series D linked bonds with a nominal value of NIS 794 million.
|
|
The series F bonds issued as aforesaid were listed on the stock exchange and the series D bonds that were acquired by Discount Investments as aforesaid expired and were delisted from the stock exchange.
|
|
b.
|
In July 2014, two banking corporations that provided loans to Discount Investments, the principal balances of which as at December 31, 2014 amount to NIS 271 million and NIS 250 million, with regard to their right to place the stated loans for immediate repayment in case of a change in control, agreed that the change of control as part of the completion of the debt arrangement of IDB Holdings, as stated in Note 16.G.2 below, shall not constitute grounds for demanding immediate repayment of their loan to Discount Investments if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) Messrs. Eduardo Elsztain and Mordechai Ben-Moshe shall each hold, directly and/or indirectly through Companies controlled by them, at least 26.65% of the issued and paid up share capital of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) and the rights attached to the aforesaid shares; (b) the Company shall itself control Discount Investments directly and/or indirectly (on a fully diluted basis). It should be noted, that each of the stated lenders is entitled to place its loan for immediate repayment in case another creditor of Discount Investments places for immediate repayment a debt of Discount Investments towards it. The decrease in Mr. Mordechai Ben Moshe's holding rate in the issued capital of the Company to a rate of less than 26.65%, following the rights issue that was performed in February 2015, as detailed in Note 16.B.6 above, as well as the completion of the BMBY process in the company, as part of which Mr. Ben Moshe ceased to hold shares in the Company, may constitute grounds for any of the banking corporations, which provided loans to Discount Investments to put his loan for immediate repayment. Discount Investments contacted each of the said banking corporations and requested their consent such that the changes in the percentage holdings of the control group in the Company as a result of the rights issue will not constitute grounds to put their loans for immediate repayment as long as Mr. Elsztain and Ben Moshe will continue to hold cumulatively (directly or indirectly through corporations they control) over 53.3% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital and alternatively, non holding of the controlling shareholder of the above minimum threshold of 26.65% of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital will not constitute grounds to put the loan for immediate repayment during the period until June 30, 2015 and in this period the bank and DIC will discuss the issue of updating the loan provisions relating to the composition of the control group of the Company. As at the date of approval of this report, the banking corporations have not yet responded to the request of Discount Investments and there is no certainty that agreements will be achieved with the banking corporations or any of them on this matter.
|
|
c.
|
In December 2014, the Board of Directors of Discount Investments approved a plan for repurchase of its bonds, as outstanding from time to time, by Discount Investments or a wholly owned subsidiary, in a total scope of NIS 200 million during a period of 12 months. The acquisitions will be made from time to time on the stock exchange and/or off of the stock exchange, directly and/or by a third party, in different scopes and prices, according to the discretion of the management of Discount Investments and with note, inter alia, to the market conditions and to the price of its bonds on the stock exchange, and only so long as no acquisition will cause a loss to Discount Investments at the time of its performance. In December 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of Discount Investments acquired its bonds in an immaterial amount and subsequent to the date of the Statement of Financial Position, the aforesaid subsidiary acquired on the stock exchange series D bonds of Discount Investments with a nominal value of NIS 46 million, series F bonds with a nominal value of NIS 53 million and series I bonds with a nominal value of NIS 5 million, for a total consideration of NIS 110 million. The aforesaid bonds will not be delisted from trade on the stock exchange. As a result of the aforesaid acquisitions, the Company recorded in the first half of 2015, its share in the profit in an amount of NIS 13 million.

As part of completion of the merger agreement between Adama and ChemChina in October 2011, Koor was given, through a Chinese bank (‘the Chinese bank’) a non-recourse loan in a sum of $960 million, secured by a charge on Adama’s shares held by Koor immediately after the completion of the merger transaction (hereafter in this section, ‘the charged shares’ and ‘the non-recourse loan’), which is repayable by means of Adama shares as stated below. The non-recourse loan was given to Koor and its wholly owned subsidiary, and was divided between Koor and the aforesaid subsidiary in proportion to the number of charged shares held by each one of them.
|
|
The following are details regarding the main terms of the non-recourse loan:
|
·
|
Payment of principal and interest: the principal of the non-recourse loan will be paid in full at the end of seven years from the date on which the loan is given. In the first four years from the date on which the non-recourse loan is given (hereafter ‘the period of the first four years’), the interest is not paid (apart from dividends received on the charged shares) but is added to the principal every three months and will be paid with the principal at the end of the seventh year. After the period of the first four years, the current interest will be paid in case at the end of each interest period (the interest period is every three months on fixed dates).
|
·
|
Interest: the non-recourse loan bears interest at a rate that does not exceed the finance cost that ChemChina will take for the purpose of paying the overall merger consideration, and in any case will not exceed the Libor rate (for six months) plus 4.5% per annum that will be fixed for each two consecutive quarters in advance. (Taking into account the Libor rate shortly before the date of approval of these financial statements, the effective interest (after grossing up the deduction of taxes insofar as any will be payable and before commissions) is estimated at approximately 5.89%). Insofar as there will be a liability to deduct tax at source in Israel for the interest payments, Koor will pay these payments and will gross up the full tax. In addition, Koor undertook to indemnify ChemChina for business taxes that ChemChina will be liable to pay pursuant to the law in China for such interest payments (insofar as there will be no exemption for such taxes) up to an amount of 5% of the interest (plus grossing-up, insofar as it applies). It should be noted that the payment of the business tax in China is likely to be charged also during the period when the interest is accumulated (i.e., during the period of the first four years).
|
·
|
‘Breach event’: the non-payment of the loan principal or interest; Koor’s liquidation or insolvency, suspension of proceedings or creditors’ arrangements, or the filing of proceedings for liquidation, insolvency, a suspension of proceedings or creditors’ arrangements that are not cancelled within the stated period; an incorrect declaration on a material aspect or a material breach of the terms of the loan agreement; if the performance of Koor’s undertakings pursuant to the loan agreement will become unlawful.

The charged shares: realization of the charge on the charged shares will be the only remedy available to the Chinese bank for the purpose of repaying the loan and securing the liabilities pursuant to the loan, except in certain cases where the validity of the charge in favor of the Chinese is prejudiced during the period of 90 days from the date of transfer of Adama’s shares to an authorized transferee, insofar as they will be transferred, pursuant to agreements with ChemChina, in which case the loan will become a recourse loan (with a right of recourse against Koor for the lower of the balance of the debt for the loan or the value of the charged shares), but only as long as the defect is not remedied. Should the loan become a recourse loan, such a defect will constitute grounds for the Chinese bank to demand immediate repayment of the loan, if the defect is not remedied within the period of time determined.

As of December 31, 2014 – the future value of Adama shares was calculated by discounting the base asset value (less the non-marketability component of the shares) until the date of delivery of the shares (and alternatively the date of repayment of the loan) at the rate of return on capital as at December 31, 2014. Based on the findings of a binomial model it was estimated that the date of delivery of the shares (and alternatively the date of repayment of the loan) is approximately one year after the date of the estimate.
|
·
|
As at December 31, 2013 – the value of Adama’s shares expected at the end of loan term was calculated based on the rate of return on the capital as of December 31, 2013, which was used in estimating the value of Adama’s shares. The value of Adama’s shares, which was estimated in accordance with a capitalization of Adama’s operating cash flow forecast for the aforesaid date, is capitalized with Adama’s weighted cost of capital, less Adama’s net financial liabilities.

Non-marketability discount *
|
For the purpose of estimating the discount rate for non-marketability until the date of registration for trade or the making liquid of the base asset, a put option model was used (Average Put Option). Accordingly, a fixed discount rate was estimated at 8.2%.
|
For the purpose of estimating the discount rate for non-negotiability, the average put option model was used for various possible listing dates (see above). The discount rate was reduced to its minimum value throughout the model in accordance with the various probabilities for negotiability of the shares on future dates. The weighted amount of the discount as of the date of the estimate stood at 8.1%.

The estimates regarding the date of a future issuance or the making liquid of the shares were changed at the date of valuation as at December 31, 2014 subsequent to the postponement of the issuance as aforesaid. In the valuation as at December 31, 2013, the non-marketability discount that decreases until the expected listing date is consistent with the valuation methodology that was used with regard to scenario method valuation and is consistent with the treatment for the host contract, whose value was based inter alia on the main scenario of listing by the end of the option period, and therefore a non-marketability discount was not deducted in that scenario.
|
|
**
|
The valuation as at December 31, 2014 was based on the value per share reflected in the lower range published within the registration document as aforesaid and as the aforesaid value does not reflect a control value, no control premium deduction was required at this date.
|
|
***
|
The control premium inherent in the value of the benefit as of the date of completion of the Adama-ChemChina transaction is estimated at a sum of $169 million. In May 2011 a decision was made by the court in a legal proceeding against Koor and Adama with regard to the aforesaid transaction, according to which the value of the surplus benefit should be divided between all of the shareholders of Adama, and the settlement in the aforesaid legal proceeding in which Koor paid $45 million to the other shareholders of Adam was given the force of a final judgment.

In June 2012, a corporation that is wholly owned by Property & Building, which directly holds the HSBC building (“the building corporation”) and a special purpose American corporation that directly holds all of the rights in the building corporation (“the additional corporation,” and jointly, “the property companies”) entered into loan agreements (jointly, in this section: “the agreement”) with the American bank, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Morgan Bank”), in which Morgan Bank gave the property companies a loan in a total amount of $400 million for a period of ten years. The loan is comprised of a main loan in an amount of $300 million, which was given to the building corporation (‘the main loan’), and a secondary loan in an amount of $100 million, which was given to the additional corporation (“the secondary loan,” and jointly with the main loan hereafter in this section, “the loan”). The following are details of the main terms of the loan:

·
|
A mechanism that adjusts the interest rate as a result of a change in the rating of the bonds: the bonds were rated by Maalot with an A+ rating. In the event that the bond rating will be two ratings lower than an A+ rating (or a corresponding rating), the annual interest will increase by an amount of 0.25%. In any case of an additional decrease in the rating, the annual interest rate will increase by an additional 0.25% for each additional rating as aforesaid. In any case, the additional annual interest for the reduction in the rating as aforesaid shall not exceed 1% in addition to the annual interest determined on the date of issuing the bonds. If the bonds are rated lower than (BBB-) (or any corresponding rating) and the rating is not increased within 60 days to above the aforesaid level, it shall constitute a ground for demanding immediate repayment.

|
Cross-default: grounds for demanding immediate repayment of the bonds was determined in a case where immediate repayment of another debt that Shufersal took from a banking corporation or a financial institution was demanded (except for a debt where there is no right of recourse against Shufersal), provided that the total amount of the demand for immediate repayment as aforesaid exceeds NIS 300 million; or immediate repayment is demanded (not on Shufersal’s initiative) for another series of bonds that was issued by Shufersal and which is in circulation, provided that the total amount for which the demand for immediate repayment was made exceeds NIS 40 million.
|
·
|

Shufersal undertook not to expand the series of bonds, insofar as an expansion of a series as aforesaid will prejudice its existing rating at that time.
|
·
|
Restrictions on distributing dividends: Shufersal undertook not to make a distribution of dividends to its shareholders and/or a self-purchase of its shares and/or any other distribution as defined in the Companies Law: (1) insofar as the result of a distribution as aforesaid is that Shufersal’s total capital (including rights that do not grant control), according to its consolidated financial statements, will fall below NIS 750 million; (a) insofar as in consequence of such a distribution, the ratio between Shufersal’s net debt (as defined above), calculated in accordance with Shufersal’s most recent audited or reviewed (as applicable) consolidated financial statements prior to the date of the distribution and its annual EBITDA (as defined below), taking into account such a distribution, will exceed 7.

During the period, Israir reached non-bonding agreements with the bank with regard to the deferral of the repayment of the loan. Israir is not in compliance with the financial covenants which were specified in the agreement with the bank. Subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, at the beginning of November 2015, the management of Israir reached oral agreements with the bank whereby the Bank will extend the renewal of the loan and will not call for its immediate repayment, until the end of March 2016, to allow the management of Israir to complete the financing transaction with the foreign bank as stated in section 2 below. As part of the understandings for the extension of the loan period, Israir undertook to make bi-monthly repayments of the principal in an amount of USD 1 million, as from November 2015 until March 2016.
|
|
Since the beginning of 2015, Israir has repaid principal balances in a total amount of USD 7 million and as at the approval date of the report, the balance of the aircraft loan amounts to USD 50 million.

On March 3, 2015, IDB Tourism and Israir, two wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (directly and indirectly) engaged with a foreign banking corporation with a letter of commitment (“letter of commitment”) according to which the foreign banking corporation will act to arrange finance at an estimated scope of US$90 million (“the credit”) in favor of Israir, which will be secured by a charge on the fleet of aircraft owned by Israir (the finance, if received, is intended in part to repay existing credit secured by the same fleet of aircraft) as well as a charge on a new Airbus aircraft which is planned to be delivered to Israir during the first quarter of 2016 (“the new aircraft”). Within the commitment letter, the foreign banking corporation was provided an agreed exclusivity period to place and arrange the credit as stated. The commitment letter does not bind the foreign banking corporation to provide the credit.

In November 2015, the foreign bank informed Israir that it was able to arrange financing in the amount of USD 70 million, to be secured by Israir’s two existing Airbus airplanes and the new airplane, which is expected to be received in 2016, for which the foreign bank sent a draft revised letter of undertaking that as of this date has not yet been signed between the parties.
|
|
As a part of finding additional financing possibility, in February the management of Israir reached oral agreements with the current financing bank (“the bank”) to finance the existing fleet of aircraft. As a result of the consents with the bank for the financing of the existing fleet of aircraft, Israir will sell and lease back the third Airbus aircraft, and as a result, in February 2016, the management of Israir signed a letter of intent with a foreign company (‘the lessor’) for a sale and lease transaction for the third Airbus aircraft. According to the terms of the letter of intent, after the purchase of the aircraft, which is expected to occur in May 2016, Israir will sell the aircraft to the lessor in return for $42.5 million and will lease it back for a period of 12 years.
|
|
The consents with the aforesaid financing entities have not yet materialized into binding agreements and the completion of the finance processes described above are not certain.

As part of the financial covenants that were determined in loan agreements of the IDB Tourism group with banks, the balance of which as of December 31, 2014, stands at a sum of approximately NIS 250 million, it was determined that in the event of a change of control in the Company, directly or indirectly, the aforesaid banks have the right to demand immediate repayment of the loans that were given to IDB Tourism and/or to companies controlled by it.
|
|
IDB Tourism and companies of the group are in continuous contact with the aforesaid banking corporations. In the opinion of the management of IDB Tourism, even in a case of a change of control, IDB Tourism will not be required to pay the aforesaid loans immediately.

Legal proceedings regarding the Company’s financial position; the creditors’ arrangement in IDB Holdings and additional proceedings relating thereto
|
|
a.
|
On April 21, 2013, a “Motion for the Recovery of IDB Development Corporation Ltd.” (“the involuntary arrangement motion”) was filed pursuant to section 350 of the Companies Law, in the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court, by Hermetic Trust (1975) Ltd., as trustee for the Company’s series G and I bonds and by Strauss Lazar Trust Company (1992) Ltd., as trustee for the Company’s series J bonds (jointly “the applicants”), against the Company and inter alia against IDB Holdings, the lending banks and the Company’s unsecured and secured financial creditors, the trustees for the Company’s series C and H bonds, and S.H. Sky Investments (T.R.) Limited Partnership. In the aforesaid motion it was claimed that the Company is in a state of insolvency without any practical possibility of raising capital and without any ability to comply with all of its future liabilities, and therefore the court was requested to order the convening of meetings in order to approve a creditors’ arrangement. At the same time, the applicants filed an urgent motion for temporary remedies in which the court was requested to appoint an officer of the court who would be authorized to supervise the management of the Company and whose consent would be required for carrying out certain operations and to instruct that the payments to the Company’s financial creditors will be deposited in a trust account opened by the officeholder. Accordingly, on April 30, 2013, the Court ordered the appointment of Attorney Hagai Ulman as an officeholder who was given powers of an observer (“the observer”) and Mr. Eyal Gabbay as economic expert. On June 9, 2013 the Court order, inter alia, that the amounts intended for paying the Company’s creditors should be deposited with the observer. On October 17, 2013, the Court ordered the release of 65% of the funds deposited in the observer’s account to the creditors entitled to them and the continued making of payments to the creditors at the aforesaid percentage. On January 7, 2014 a motion was filed with the Court by the trustees for the Company’s bonds (series G, I and J) to order the release of the funds deposited in the observer’s trust account.
|
|
b.
|
On January 8, 2014 a notice was filed to the Court by the trustees to the aforesaid bonds, according to which in light of the approval of the creditors’ arrangement at IDB Holdings, as suggested on behalf of Dolphin Group and on behalf of Extra Group, as described in Note 16.G.(2) below, the trustees to the aforesaid bonds agree to the deletion of the motion for an involuntary debt arrangement. On January 14, 2014 the observer’s response and the Official Receiver’s response to the deletion motion were filed to the Court.
|
|
Both of the aforesaid responses expressed, inter alia, the position that it would be right to close the case on the involuntary debt arrangement motion against the corporation only after implementation of the arrangement in IDB Holdings and that all of the money deposited with the observer should be released to the corporation’s creditors, and an order should be made that the payments should continue to be made to the creditors by the corporation according to schedule. On the same date, the expert who was appointed by the Court also filed his position, according to which, in view of the approval of the debt arrangement in IDB Holdings and the change in circumstances, it was possible to transfer the payments from the observer’s account to the creditors.
|
|
Moreover, it was stated that there might be a basis for concluding both proceedings, in IDB Holdings and in the corporation, at the same time. On January 15, 2014, the Court ruled on the striking-out motion and held that, as at that date, the proceeding relating to the involuntary debt arrangement motion would remain as it was, in order, inter alia, to complete the creditors’ arrangement in IDB Holdings, which was also relevant to the corporation, and in order to allow the observer to supervise what was being done in the corporation. With regard to the motions to release the money, the court ordered the observer to transfer the balance of the money that was deposited in the trust account to the corporation’s creditors, according to their proportional shares.
|
|
For additional details regarding the funds in the observer’s account which were released to the Company’s financial creditors, and regarding a ruling on a settlement given in October 2014 by the Court, which ratifies a settlement offer by the observer on the matter of interest payments to the Company’s creditors in respect of the funds deposited with the observer as stated, see Note 16.

The net proceeds, in a sum of approximately NIS 48 million, for a settlement with the Manor family and the Livnat family (former controlling shareholders of the Company and IDB Holdings), which was approved by the court on October 31, 2013, in a claim for the return of amounts of dividends that were distributed to them by IDB Holdings in the years 2008-2010 (“the dividend settlement”).

It is noted that in accordance with the provisions of the arrangement, had the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings transaction been completed before the last date for completion of the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings transaction, the beneficiaries of the arrangement would have held, subsequent to the completion of the arrangement, a total of 29.95% of the Company’s issued and paid-up capital, and the consideration for the acquired IDB Development shares would have been NIS 800 million and in such a case the capital injection to the Company would amount to only NIS 150 million
|
21
|
Subject to the instructions of the court, all of the rights of claim in the name of and on behalf of IDB Holdings only will be assigned to the trustees for the arrangement, in such a way that will ensure that the rights of claim of IDB Holdings against third parties (shareholders, officers and so on) (hereafter: ‘the claims’) will be exhausted, and the receipts from the claims, net, after covering all of the fees and expenses involved in the various legal proceedings, will be allocated to persons who were beneficiaries of the arrangement and will be paid to the beneficiaries of the arrangement shortly after they are received. It is noted that to the best of the Company's knowledge, in July 2015 the Courts ruling was handed down, approving the motion of the arrangement trustees for the sale of the shell of IDB Holdings in consideration of NIS 10 million, whereby, inter alia, every right of IDB Holdings shall be transferred in favour of the trustee's coffers and shall remain in their hands and they shall be entitled to act with respect to every right as aforementioned, as a company, for all intents and purposes, including in connection with the right of claim of IDB Holdings against any third party.

The arrangement stipulated that if on the first completion date it will not yet be known whether the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings transaction will be completed or not, then the following provisions shall apply:23
|
|
a.
|

|
b.
|
A sum of NIS 150 million out of the money for the arrangement will be invested by the investors in the Company, as stated in Note 16.G.(2).(f) below, a sum of NIS 150 million out of the amount of the bridging loan was converted into an investment in the capital of the Company and a sum of NIS 20 million out of the bridging loan became a part of the Clal loans and in June 2014 this amount was also converted into an investment in the Company’s capital.
|
|
c.
|
Moreover, according to this alternative it was determined in the arrangement offer that the investors will buy shares of the Company from the beneficiaries of the arrangement. The purchase of the shares will be implemented by means of a payment in cash in a sum of NIS 150 million to the arrangement trustees, to be transferred by them to the trustees of the arrangement on the first completion date. After the first completion date, the shares of the Company in the possession of the investors amounted to 53.3% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company.
|
|
d.
|
It was determined that the shares of the Company that constitute 20.75% of the issued and paid up capital of the Company after the first completion date (‘the Clal alternative shares’) will be deposited with the arrangement trustees in trust for the investors. The investors and the arrangement trustees will act with regard to the Clal alternative shares in accordance with the instructions of the investors for all intents and purposes.
|
|
e.
|
It was determined that the shares of the Company that constitute 25.95% of the issued and paid-up capital of the Company after the first completion date will be distributed among the beneficiaries of the arrangement.

|
23
|
It is noted that as at the first completion date of the debt arrangement (May 7, 2014) it was not yet known whether the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings transaction would be completed, so in reality the initial provisions were implemented on the first completion date.

In the report filed by the trustees for the settlement with the Court on April 6, 2014, the trustees stated, inter alia, that upon the receipt of the aforementioned approval from the Ministry of Communications, all of the conditional terms for the completion of the creditors’ settlement had beencomplied with; however, following the request by the investors to establish a designated corporation under their control, which will constitute the investor in accordance with the provisions of the creditors’ settlement, changes were required to some of the permits which had already been received, in order to complete the settlement. For developments on this matter, see notes 16.G.2.e and f below.

On March 25, 2014, a letter was sent by the trustees for the implementation of the arrangement to Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, further to his notice that the investor on behalf of the Dolphin Group would be a special-purpose corporation wholly owned and controlled by Dolphin Fund, directly or through another foreign corporation wholly owned and controlled by Dolphin Fund (‘the special-purpose company’). In their letter, the trustees emphasized that the founding of the special-purpose company for the purpose of implementing the arrangements did not derogate from the liabilities of Mr. Elsztain and Dolphin Fund pursuant to the provisions of the arrangement, including future liabilities, and including the tender offers and rights issue.
|
|
e.
|
On April 8, 2014, a letter of understanding was signed between all of the aforementioned entities (“the Letter of Understanding” or “the updated arrangement outline”), according to which Dolphin Fund, Mr. Eduardo Elsztain and Extra notified the trustees of the arrangement, in accordance with the provisions of the arrangement, that:
|
|
a.

The trustees for the settlement were notified of the designated company’s decision and announcement that the Company’s shares to which it is entitled under the settlement (including on the first completion date, according to the meaning thereof in note 16.G.2 above) should be transferred to the two corporations specified below (“the holding corporations”):
|

1.

|
|
b.
|
In the event of a rights issue performed by the Company prior to the distribution of the “Clal alternate shares” (see note 16.G.2.b.4.d. above), then a mechanism will be agreed between the trustees for the settlement, and the Holding Corporations and the Designated Company, to secure the entitlement of the Holding Corporations or the entitlement of the beneficiaries of the settlement (as applicable) to rights which were due to them on the date of the rights issue, with respect to Clal alternate shares, in a manner which will not prevent the beneficiaries of the settlement, if entitled to receive the Clal alternate shares, or from the Holding Corporations, if entitled to receive the Clal alternate shares, from purchasing rights, in accordance with their share, or in any other manner which will be agreed upon with the Holding Corporations and the trustees for the settlement.
|

On April 8, 2014, the trustees for the settlement filed a report with the Court, in which they requested approval for the Letter of Understanding (“the report of the trustees for the settlement”), and on the same date, the Court approved the Letter of Understanding, in accordance with the contents of the report of the trustees for the settlement. In accordance with the Court’s decision, the trustees for the settlement signed the Letter of Understanding, and accordingly, confirmed that in light of the foregoing, the entities obligated under the provisions of the settlement are only the designated company, due to its status as the “Investor,” as defined in the settlement, and the holding corporations.

Performance of the creditor’s arrangement in IDB Holdings and the distribution of the consideration for the arrangement. On April 29, 2014, all of the conditions precedent for the completion of the arrangement were fulfilled. Between May 7 and May 12, 2014, the creditors’ arrangement at IDB Holdings was completed.

On January 18, 2015 the Company received a letter from the trustees to the arrangement, in which they raised claims against the rights issue the Company performed in accordance with a shelf offer report dated January 19, 2015 (as specified in note 15.B.6 above), which included claims that the rights issue of the Company does not reflect the value of control of the Company, rather the value of the interest of the minority shareholders derived from the obligation of the Company’s controlling shareholders to perform tender offers on the Company’s shares in accordance with the provisions of the debt arrangement at IDB Holdings and that the interest of the minority shareholders will be diluted if minority shareholders participate in the rights issue; and that dilution of the entitlement of the minority shareholders to participate in the tender offers and the increase of the Company’s issued share capital amount to an interested parties’ transaction that benefits the controlling owners and requires the approval of the general meeting. The trustees of the arrangement asked the Company to act to carry out only a private placement of rights, with the approval of the shareholders’ meeting, in accordance with the Company’s liquidity needs, and they requested that the controlling owners would undertake to refrain from trading their shares until the date of realizing their whole undertaking to carry out tender offers or until the end of 2016, whichever is the earlier. Alternatively, the Company was requested to examine a possibility of separating the entitlement to participate in the tender offers from the Company’s shares prior to the rights issue, so that the right to participate in the tender offers would be given solely to the existing minority shareholders in the Company. Moreover, the Company was requested to give notice of its consent to release the shares deposited in trust with the trustees of the arrangement, unconditionally.
|
|
On January 22, 2015, the Company responded to the trustees of the arrangement in a letter in which it rejected all of their claims against the rights issue, and it stated in the letter, inter alia, that: while the need to raise capital for the Company immediately could not be in dispute, the other possibilities that the trustees of the arrangement proposed (such as making a private placement or separating the entitlement to participate in the tender offers from the Company’s shares prior to the rights issue so that the right to participate in the tender offers would belong only to the minority shareholders that existed prior to the rights issue) are not within the Company’s ability, are not within its exclusive control and were not proposed to the Company by its controlling shareholders; that the beneficiaries of the arrangement were not given protection that the undertakings to make tender offers would be solely to them, but from the outset it was clear that the right would belong to all of the minority shareholders on the date of making the offers; that the rights issue is beneficial and by its nature treats the shareholders equally and is not an interested parties’ transaction; to the request of the trustees of the arrangement that the Company would agree unconditionally to release the shares which were deposited with them in trust, the Company replied that it already gave its conditional consent to the release of these shares, there is no reason why the trustees of the arrangement should not agree to the Company’s offer and that the trustees of the arrangement are fully liable for the release of the shares which were deposited with them to the beneficiaries of the arrangement and they will be liable for all of the damage that will be caused to them, if any, as a result thereof. The Company emphasized that if the trustees of the arrangement would apply to the court with regard to the rights issue, they should take into account the huge damage that might be caused as a result thereof to the Company and the derivative liability for that.

In addition, on January 26, 2015, a motion was filed with the court by the Organization for Protection of the Public’s Savings and Mr. Ohad Aloni, in which the court was requested to approve the publication of a specification of an ordinary/ involuntary tender offer for the purchase of ordinary shares with no nominal value of the Company, issued to the minority shareholders of the Company in accordance with the shelf offer report published by the Company on January 19, 2015, in order to protect the aforesaid minority shareholders from the dilution of their entitlement to participate in the tender offers which Dolphin Netherlands and CAA undertook to perform in accordance with the provisions of the debt arrangement at IDB Holdings (as specified in note 16.G.(2).b.6 above) (“the Motion to Publish a Tender Offer”). On January 28, 2015, the Court approved the motion by Hermetic Trust (1975) Ltd., in its role as a trustee for the bond holders (Series G and I) of the Company, an urgent motion to join the procedure in light of the expected implications of the motion to publish a tender offer on the rights of the bond holders of the Company and on the Company’s ability to serve its debt. On January 29, 2015 the Israeli Securities Authority filed its position on the motion to publish a tender offer, in which the Authority gave notice that the petitioners’ motion is not legally possible. At the same date the Company filed its response to the motion to publish a tender offer, as part of which it was claimed that the motion is bound to be rejected both due to lack of authority of the Court to discuss the motion as well as the fact that the motion contradicts the Companies Law. It was also claimed, that the motion adversely impacts the Company’s ability to raise capital.

On February 9, 2015, the trustees to the arrangement filed to the Court a motion to instruct the distribution of consideration to the beneficiaries to the arrangement, despite the Company’s objection and the granting of a warrant preventing the Company from objecting to the settlement agreement with regard to the derived claims against IDB Holdings (for details regarding the aforesaid derived claims and the settlement agreement as specified, see Note 23.C.1.d. below). As part of the aforesaid motion, the Court was requested to approve the distribution of the remaining consideration to which the beneficiaries of the arrangement are entitled in accordance with the debt arrangement at IDB Holdings and which have not yet been distributed and which were held, on that date, in trust by the trustees to the arrangement (apart from the amounts paid in accordance with the settlement agreement with regard to the specified derived claims, subsequent to its approval, at an amount of NIS 7 million to the Company).

A motion to provide an injunction to copy the IT materials of IDB Holdings and a motion to remove the investigators regarding IDB Holdings from their function – further to the motion by the trustees to the arrangement, a legal adviser was appointed to conduct investigations and represent the trustees to the arrangement in legal proceedings of IDB Holdings (the legal firm Naor-Gersht) (‘the legal adviser” or “the investigators”). On January 21, 2015, a motion was filed with the Court to grant an injunction for the copying of IDB Holdings’ computer material by the aforesaid legal adviser, as part of which the Court was requested to grant an injunction ex parte, which allows the aforesaid legal adviser or anyone on his behalf to copy, through a skilled professional, all of the magnetic media relating to IDB Holdings saved on the computer servers at the offices of IDB Holdings, and this, inter alia, because of the mixed use of the servers of the Company and IDB Holdings. On February 1, 2015, the Court granted the motion as requested. Pursuant to a decision of the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, on February 4, 2015, the Company filed with the Court an urgent motion to clarify the Court’s decision with regard to the copying of IDB Holdings’ IT material with regard to the manner of its application, in light of that in order to comply with the Court’s decision and to transfer to copy all of the material belonging to IDB Holdings, screening and filtering work must first be done between the material belonging to IDB Holdings and the material belonging to the Company (which, in the Company’s opinion, the aforesaid legal adviser is not entitled to receive).

Further to the contacts that took place between Dolphin Netherlands and the trustees of the debt arrangement in IDB Holdings to change the terms of the undertaking to make tender offers pursuant to the terms of the debt arrangement, on February 24, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved, after a resolution of the Audit Committee and after a recommendation of the independent committee, to suspend the proceedings with regard to the offering to the public pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company on January 24, 2016 (as stated in note 15.B.(12) above) and to approve a proposed outline for an injection of cash by Dolphin Netherlands into the company within the framework of a proposed amendment of the debt arrangement in IDB Holdings Ltd., including by means of an offering of the Company’s bonds, as stated below. It was further resolved that this resolution regarding a suspension of the offering proceedings would be valid until the aforesaid outline would be cancelled or expire, whether pursuant to its terms or pursuant to a resolution that will be adopted at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company or by the District Court.
|
|
On February 25, 2016, Dolphin Netherlands and the trustees of the arrangement signed an amendment to the debt arrangement, which the Company signed as a party to it with regard to the provisions that relate to it. In addition, on the same day the trustees of the debt arrangement filed an urgent motion for instructions, with the consent of the parties, in which the court was petitioned to order the urgent convening of a meeting of the Company’s shareholders and option holders for March 2, 2016, in order to vote on the amendment to the debt arrangement, and a meeting of shareholders for approval of the amendment to the debt arrangement pursuant to section 275 of the Companies Law (as a transaction in which the controlling owner of the Company has a personal interest).
|
|
On March 1, 2016, Dolphin Netherlands, the trustees of the debt arrangement and the Company (with regard to the provisions that concern it) signed a revised version of the aforesaid amendment of the debt arrangement which was submitted for the meeting’s approval.
|
|
The following is a description of the main points of the consents between the parties within the framework of the aforesaid amendment to the debt arrangement (as updated on March 1, 2016):
|
(1)
|
On March 31, 2016 (“the effective date”), Dolphin Netherlands will acquire from the minority shareholders all of the shares of the Company that they held on March 29, 2016, in such a way that Dolphin Netherlands (or any corporation related to it) shall hold 100% of the Company’s shares, which shall become a private bond company (according to the meaning thereof in the Companies Law), and all of the options of the Company (series 4, 5 and 6) shall expire.
|
(2)
|
The consideration for the minority shareholders for the acquisition of the acquired shares and the cancellation of the tender offer undertakings shall be paid by Dolphin Netherlands and shall be made up of the following components:
|
(a)
|
A cash payment – which shall be paid on March 31, 2016, in an amount of NIS 1.25 for each acquired share (‘the cash payment’).
|
(b)
|
A payment in the Company’s series I bonds, which shall be paid on March 31, 2016, at the adjusted liability value of the bonds (i.e., principal plus accrued interest up to the date of making the payment and linkage differentials for the principal and interest) in a sum of NIS 1.20 for each of the acquired shares (‘the bond payment’). In accordance with Dolphin Netherlands’ instructions, the aforesaid bonds will be issued by the Company directly to the minority shareholders, in return for a transfer by Dolphin Netherlands to the Company of a sum equal to the adjusted liability value of each bond that the Company will issue as aforesaid (a total sum of approx. NIS 165-180 million, where the precise amount depends on the number of option holders that exercise the options that they own before the effective date).

Additional payment in a sum of NIS 1.05 for each acquired share, which is conditional upon the sale of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings (‘the Clal payment’). Pursuant to the amendment to the arrangement, the Clal payment is subject to the fulfilment of one of the following conditions: (1) a control permit will be received from the Commissioner of the Capital Market or from any other competent party to control Clal Insurance Company Ltd. (such that Dolphin Netherlands controls Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings); (2) the completion of a sale of control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings by the company to any party (which will receive a control permit from the Commissioner of the Capital Market), such that the Company shall no longer be a part of the control chain in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and within this framework the Company will actually receive consideration in an amount that reflects a share price of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings of 75% or more of the equity of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings attributed to its shareholders, as it was on the date of sale of the control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings as aforesaid (i.e., on the date when a bidning sale agreement will be signed). The equity of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings on the date of sale of the control will be calculated in accordance with the most recent financial statements published by Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings before the date of sale of the control, less any amount that it will distribute as a dividend or as a self-purchase from the date of the aforesaid financial statements until the date of sale of control, plus any capital amount that it will raise between the date of the aforesaid financial statements and the date of the sale of control; (3) if the sale of control is made by or at the request of the trustee for the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings (for details regarding the aforesaid trustee, see note 3.H.5.b. above) or will be made by the Company after some of the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings held by the Company were sold by the aforesaid trustee or at his request (‘involuntary sale’), then (i) insofar as the average share price that the Company will receive for the sale of all of its shares in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings will exceed a price that reflects a share price of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings of 75% or more of the equity of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, as it will be on the date of signing an agreement for the sale of control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, Dolphin will pay the full amount of the Clal payment; (ii) insofar as the condition stated in section (i) above is not fulfilled, but the sale of the control of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings is done at a price that reflects a share price of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings of 75% or more of the equity of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings as it will be on the date of signing an agreement for the sale of control in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, then the minority shareholders will be entitled to receive a proportional part of the Clal payment, which reflects the ratio between the amount of the Company’s holdings that was sold within the framework of the sale of the control nucleus in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and 54.92%.

In connection with the offers of Dolphin Netherlands and the trustees for the settlement, from May and August 2015, accordingly, as specified in Note 16.g.(2)(k) above, both of which included an issuance of Company debentures to its shareholders, the trustees for the Company’s debenture holders (Series G, I and J) demanded, in October 2015, that: the Company refrain from any undertaking towards the trustees for the settlement or the Company’s controlling shareholders to issue any debt whatsoever of the Company, or to provide any compensation not in the form of shares to the trustees for the settlement or any other party on their behalf through the use of the Company’s assets or increasing its debts, to involve the trustees and the representatives of the debenture holders in any negotiations with the trustees for the settlement whose results may have implications as to the rights of the Company’s debenture holders, and to announce the objection of the trustees for the debenture holders to any issuance of debt by the Company in the legal proceedings.

On November 12, 2015, the Company and its Board members received a letter from the trustee for the Company’s debentures (Series I), in which, inter alia, the aforementioned trustee announced that the outline in accordance with Dolphin's notice in connection with the tender offers is not acceptable to the debenture holders (Series I), that the debenture holders (Series I) demand the convention of an urgent meeting of debenture holders on the matter; and that insofar as the aforementioned outline is not immediately ruled out by the Company’s Board of Directors, the trustee will convene the debenture holders for a discussion in order to reach operative decisions on the matter, including initiating proceedings, insofar as may be required.

On November 15, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved as follows: (1) To appoint the two outside directors who are serving in the Company as members of the independent committee which will participate and represent the Company (with respect to the relevant aspects) in the negotiations regarding the outline for the conversion of the tender offers. (2) The Company will undertake towards the trustee for the Company’s debentures (Series I) to issue notice to him, and to report to the public, immediately upon the Company’s receipt for discussion of an outline regarding the conversion of the tender offers (by means of an issuance of debentures and any other similar outline in connection with the aforementioned tender offers), and that no decision will be reached, by any of the Company’s various organs, before the passage of 7 business days after the date of the aforementioned notice and report, if and insofar as such decisions will be reached. Against the aforementioned undertaking, the trustee changed, at that time, his intention of convening an urgent meeting of debenture holders (Series I) on the matter.

On November 16, 2015, a letter was sent to the Company and to its Board members from the trustee for the Company’s debentures (Series I), in which, inter alia, the Company was required to complete, immediately and without any delay whatsoever, the capital raising for the Company in the amount of NIS 200 million, in accordance with Dolphin Netherlands’ proposal from June 29, 2015 (as specified in Note 15.b.(8) above).

On November 18, 2015, a letter was sent to the Company and to its Board members and to Dolphin Netherlands by the trustee for the Company’s debentures (Series I), in connection with Dolphin Netherlands’ proposal to the trustees for the settlement from November 2015, which included an amended arrangement with respect to the undertakings to perform tender offers in accordance with the debt settlement in IDB Holdings.
|
|
In the letter it was noted, inter alia, that the amended outline which was proposed by Dolphin Netherlands is not acceptable to the Company’s debenture holders (Series I), and that the Company and its corporate officers are required to sign, verify and report to the public, without delay, that any amount which will be injected into the Company by the controlling shareholder, in accordance with its undertaking with respect to the raising of capital for the Company, will be provided as a capital investment, or alternatively, against an allocation of debt which is fully subordinated to the terms of the debentures (Series I), and that the Company will be entitled, at all times, to convert the aforementioned debt into capital, insofar as the Company’s requirements and liabilities to its creditors require the above.

After the Company reported that consent had been reached with regard to the alternative outline for an injection, by way of the injection of subordinated debt bv Dolphin Netherlands, as detailed in Note 16.G.2.l above, on December 3, 2015, the Company received a letter from the representatives of the trustee for the holders of the Company's bonds (Series I), in which it was claimed, inter alia, that the liability that the debt will be subordinate to all of the Company's debts must be given opposite all of the creditors (and not only between the parties to the outline as is written in the ouline) and also that Dolphin Netherlands' offer, within the context of the alternative outline for an injection is not equivalent to its commitment to inject equity in to the Company as part of Dolphin Netherlands’ offer of June 29, 2015. Accordingly, it is claimed in the letter, the Company is required to reject the outline for an alternative outline and to take action immediately for the completion of the public offering. Dolphin Netherlands clarified on December 3, 2015, that the Company's creditors will have the right to claim that the debt is subordinated.

In an additional letter that was sent by the trustee for the series I bonds on February 23, 2016, to the Company, the members of its Board of Directors and Mr. Eduardo Elsztain, it was stated that on the basis of express representations of the Company and the controlling shareholder, the trustee for the series I bondholders and his advisers agreed to delay the convening of meetings of the aforesaid bondholders and receiving clear instructions to begin proceedings in order to prevent the making of payments to short-term creditors. However, in view of the Company’s notice that instead of raising capital for the Company from the public it intends to issue capital and bonds to the controlling shareholder, and the issue of the bonds is expected to be done by way of expanding the long term series I bonds (see the amendment to the arrangement that was signed on February 25, 2016, as amended on March 1, 2016, as stated in note 16.G.(2)(m) above), the trustee for the series I bonds decided to convene a meeting of the bondholders as aforesaid. In addition, within the framework of his aforesaid letter, the trustee for the series I bondholders repeated his demand to make any payment to the short-term creditors conditional upon finding a secure mechanism that will be able, by way of ‘reverse engineering,’ to ensure that no preference of creditors will take place. and he claimed that the company is insolvent and therefore it should use all of its rights and assets, including its ability to raise capital from the public or from the controlling shareholders, for the benefit of all of the creditors.
|
|
In an additional letter of the trustee for the series I bonds to the Company, the members of its Board of Directors and Mr. Eduardo Elsztain dated February 25, 2016, the trustee for the aforesaid bonds reiterated, inter alia, his opposition to an expansion of the Company’s series I bonds pursuant to the amendment to the arrangement as aforesaid, and demanded, inter alia, the sending of copies of his aforesaid letters to the insurance company that insures the liability of the Company’s officers.

In November 2014 The Israel Securities Authority published accounting staff position document number 21-1 relating to the existence of a deep market in high quality corporate bonds in Israel, for the determination of the discount rate of obligations for defined benefit denominated in NIS in accordance with IAS 19, Employee Benefits. According to the aforesaid position document, the proper implementation manner for transition from use of the rate of return of government bonds to a rate of return of high quality corporate bonds is on a prospective basis. As a result of the specified change in the discount rate, Adama recorded actuarial gains under other comprehensive income, amounting to USD 10 million. The Company’s share in the aforesaid actuarial gains recorded by Adama amounts to NIS 11 million.
|
|
C. Significant changes to employee benefits at a consolidated company – Shufersal
|
|
1.
|
Change to measurement according to a discount rate derived from the returns on corporate bonds – as a result from the change in the discount rate as specified in section B. above. As a result of the specified change, a decrease occurred in the liability (gross) of Shufersal with respect to a defined benefit plan totaling NIS 29 million (the Company’s share in the aforesaid amount is NIS 10 million). The gap between the corporate discount rate and the government discount rate as of December 31, 2014, according to which the liability was calculated at Shufersal is approximately 0.85% on average.
|
|
2.
|
The increasing of the minimum wage in Israel – in January 2015 an amendment to the Minimum Wage Law was approved, according to which the minimum wage will be increased to NIS 5,000 per month in three stages: on April 1, 2015 the minimum wage will be increased to NIS 4,650, on August 1, 2016 the minimum wage will be increased to NIS 4,825 and on January 1, 2017 the minimum wage will be increased to NIS 5,000. As of April 2016 the minimum wage will be 47.5% of the average wage in the market at April in each relevant year. Shufersal estimates, that the increase of the minimum wage as stated may have an adverse effect on its business results and cause an addition to its payroll expenses. As a result of the aforesaid increase in the minimum wage, in increase occurred in the liability (gross) of Shufersal with respect to a defined benefit in the amount of NIS 4 million (the Company’s share in the aforesaid amount was NIS 1 million).
|
|
3.
|
Update of employee turnover rate – in 2014 Shufersal updated the turnover rate, including the expected rate of employees leaving in a manner that entitles them to severance supplements by law. As a result, an increase occurred in the liability (gross) of Shufersal with respect to a defined benefit plan, at an amount of NIS 18 million (the Company’s share in the stated amount is NIS 7 million).

|
|
Market risks - The Company is directly exposed to market risks as a result of changes in the tradable value of its holdings, including for the Company's holding in shares of Clal Holdings Insurance Enterprises changes in the consumer price index, and changes in interest rates, which may affect its assets and liabilities and impair the business results, shareholders’ equity, cash balances and cash flows, and the value of the Company. Considering the situation of the Company and the restrictions applying to it, the ability of the Company to manage market risks has significantly decreased, since as at the reporting date the Company is not able to engage in new hedge contracts.
|
|
The Company is exposed to the various market risks, also indirectly, due to the impact thereof on its investee companies.

Expected dividends from investee companies - in such respect, Discount Investments monitors the profitability of the investee companies, the available cash flows thereof and their ability to distribute dividend.
|

|
Sale of holdings in investee companies - it should be noted, that Discount Investments controls major public companies, leading their fields of operation, whose shares are highly tradable, and the holdings of Discount Investments therein are not pledged under specific pledge. Discount Investments is able to realize limited percentages of the share capital of investee companies thereof, and is also able to realize all or most of its holding in the shares of one of the investee companies.
|
·
|
Debt recycling - Discount Investments examines periodically the possibility of enlarging an existing bonds series, replacing existing bonds series of short duration with existing bonds series of longer duration (similar to the replacement carried out in January 2014, as detailed in Note 16.F.1.a. above), or issuing a new bonds series. In addition and if necessary, Discount Investments will act in order to raise loans from financial institutions. The ability to recycle the debt and the raising if DIC are effected, among others, by its net asset value and by its leverage level (debt ratio to total assets). In the first half of 2015, the market value of Discount Investments main assets has declined (mainly as a result of the competitive environment in which they operate) and as a result the net asset value has declined and its leverage has increased accordingly.

In May 2015, subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, Israir reached an understanding with Airbus, inter alia, with respect to the amounts and dates of the payments for completing the purchase of the third airplane, which is expected to be delivered to Israir in the second quarter of 2016. The payments reflect a discount relative to the price of the airplane pursuant to the purchase agreement of 2007, in exchange for Israir’s agreement to buy a fourth Airbus-320 airplane for which significant advance payments are supposed to be executed only starting in August 2016 and which is supposed to be delivered in the third quarter of 2018. If Israir does not complete the purchase of the fourth airplane, the discount for the third airplane will be canceled, except in a case of structural changes in certain circumstances. The total sum of the advance payments paid by Israir with respect to the airplanes proximate to the approval date of the report amount to USD 13.5 million.

In May 2009, a lawsuit was filed with the Tel Aviv District Court (“the Court”) against the Company, seeking cancellation of the Company’s full buy-back offer issued by the Company in January 2009, with the share buy-back pursuant to this offer completed in March 2009 (“the tender offer”) and, alternatively, an assessment relief, pursuant to Section 338 of the Companies Law, 1999 (“The Companies Law”). The fair value of the Company has been estimated by the plaintiffs at NIS 79 per share, and accordingly, the amount of the lawsuit for the entire group has been estimated at an amount of approximately NIS 260 million. along with a motion for class action status for this lawsuit. The class which plaintiffs seek to represent includes all offerees in this tender offer.
|
|
On January 28, 2016, the Supreme Court rendered its decision under which it rejected the appeal with no order for expenses while it determined that since flaws were found in the tender offer, now the burden of proof rests with the Company that the share price that was offered will reflect its fair value and the Company met such burden.

On February 24, 2016, the appellants filed with the Supreme Court a motion for a further hearing on the judgment. Within the framework of the Motion for a Further Hearing, it was claimed, inter alia, that in view of the decision of the Supreme Court in the appeal, according to which there were defects in the manner of the tender offer, and in view of the fact that we are speaking merely of a proceeding of a motion for approval of a class action, the whole proceeding should be returned to the District Court in order to conduct the action or to hear and reexamine the facts in view of the impropriety of the acquisition process; that in view of the importance of the existing case law rulings and the change in and difficulty of the rulings in the judgment, the fact that they conflict with previous and well-known rulings of the Supreme Court and their effect on other proceedings in a manner that will make it difficult to conduct them, there is an objective justification for holding a further hearing on the matter; that the judgment of the Supreme Court is based on a material accounting error in an amount of NIS 2 billion, and constitutes a change of the common rule in class action law and creates an insuperable barrier for class actions in the field of the remedy of valuation and in general; and that the data that was brought before the court in this case, after the acquisition proceeding was disqualified, lead to the conclusion that the tender offer was made with a value that was not the fair value of the Company during the period relevant to the tender offer.
|
|
In the Company’s opinion, based on the position of its legal advisers, there is no basis for the aforesaid Motion for a Further Hearing.

In October 2010, a lawsuit was filed with the Central District Court by Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) and by Ness Energy of Israel Inc. (“Ness Israel”) (jointly: “the plaintiffs”) against the Company, Noya Oil and Gas Exploration Ltd. (which owns a 75% controlling stake in the Modi’in General Partner) (“Noya”) and Du-Tzach Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Yitzhak Sultan (“Du-Tzach”) (jointly: “the defendants”). In this lawsuit, the plaintiffs seek declarative injunction against the share allocation (“the allocation”) made by Noya to Du-Tzach, which resulted in Du-Tzach becoming a 95% owner of Noya’s issued share capital and against sale of half of Du-Tzach’s holding stake in Noya to the Company.

Based on the opinion of legal counsel - which was based on information provided there to during this proceeding, on the manner of testimony by witnesses of the parties and on the aforementioned proposed settlement by the Court - the Company believes that the likelihood of the claim against the Company being rejected is higher than the likelihood of it prevailing.

These letters list a string of alleged deeds and omissions in the affairs of IDB Holdings and/or the Company and/or investees (present or past) thereof, which the aforementioned Trustees allege were made or caused by officers of IDB Holdings and which the Trustees allege are partly concerning the conduct of IDB Group at times, other than in the best interest of Group companies (and in particular, the Company and IDB Holdings) - but rather in the best interest of controlling shareholders thereof. The letters further allege that the aforementioned Trustees intend to have launched appropriate legal proceedings, whether by IDB Holdings, by an officer or by any other party (including by the Trustees) in order to ensure full payment for damage allegedly caused by the events listed in the letters.

For details of the filing of an action and a motion for approval of the action as a class action by a shareholder in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, who also holds bonds of the Company (“the plaintiff”), on February 10, 2016, with the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court against Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and against the members of its Board of Directors, in which it is claimed, inter alia, that Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and the members of its Board of Directors should have tried to sell its assets (the main one being its holding in Clal Insurance) to other insurance companies in Israel, by way of a tender, where each asset of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings would be put up for sale separately, see note 23.C.(2).c below.
|
|
In this context it should be noted that on February 11, 2016, the plaintiff contacted the Company with a request that it should join the action and the motion for a stay of proceedings that was filed with it, and it gave notice that insofar as it would not join, it would file a motion for a derivative action in its name on this matter.
|
|
At the same time as the filing of the action and the motion for approval of the action as a class action, the plaintiff filed with the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court, against the defendants and additional defendants, including the Company, the members of its Board of Directors, the trustee for the Company’s shares in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, Mr. Moshe Tery (as stated in note 3.H.5.b above) (“the trustee”), and the Commissioner, a motion for an injunction and an urgent motion for a temporary injunction, in which the plaintiff petitions the court to order a stay of the proceedings for the sale of the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings held by the Company through the trustee, in accordance with an outline that was determined by the Commissioner, as stated in note 3.H.5.c above) (“the motions”). The plaintiff is requesting a stay of the aforesaid sale proceedings until an absolute decision is made in the action. The main ground stated in the motions for a stay of the sale proceedings is that a sale of the shares in accordance with the aforesaid outline before hearing the action may cause irreversible damage to the Company and its bondholders. On February 24, 2016, the court held that the motion for a temporary injunction would be sent for the respondents’ response within seven days. On March 2, 2016, the Company filed with the court its response to the motion for an injunction, in which framework, inter alia, the Company claimed that in the current market conditions, action should not be taken to sell the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings in accordance with the outline ordered by the Commissioner; that there was a basis for making an alternative outline, which would allow the Company to seel its shares in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings within the framework of a transaction for the sale of the control nucleus, or any other outline that would prevent the destruction of the value that would be caused to the Company if the Commissioner’s outline were implemented; that implementation of the provisions of the outline and performing the involuntary sale was expected to cause the writing off of a huge, disproportionate and unnecessary amount, and had extreme ramifications on the Company and additional parties, as stated in the response; and that the circumstances of the case justify an examination of whether, in view of all of the considerations, the sale of the shares as aforesaid lies within the margin of reasonableness in a manner that strikes a proper balance between the needs and best interests of the persons insurer by Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, on the one hand, and the series and real harm that is expected to be caused to the shareholders of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, the Company, the shareholders of the Company and the creditors of the Company, on the other. In addition, on March 2, 2016, Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings filed its response to the motion for an injunction, in which it opposed the motion, in view of the existence of weighty claims that justified denying the motion for approval of the action as a class action on its merits, and the connection between the two proceedings.

The financial institutions in the group are involved on a regular basis in learning, identification and handling of issues which may derive from the aforementioned complexities, both in relation to individual cases and in relation to types of customers and/or products. The coming into effect of the Control of Financial Services (Provident Funds) (Payments to Provident Funds), 5774-2014 (the Payments Regulations), in general, and specifically the revision of the collection interface and the receipt of money, are expected, in the short term, to increase the aforesaid complexity, even if in the long term they are expected to moderate it. Moreover, further to the provision of the Commissioner’s circular of November 2012 regarding an improvement of the details of the rights of members of financial institutions, the purpose of which is to ensure that by June 2016 the registration of the rights of policyholders and members in the data systems of the financial institutions will be reliable, complete, accessible and retrievable, the companies in the Group are engaged in a comprehensive process of data cleansing in the systems dealing with long-term savings and opposite customers in connection with product data and customer data, both on the level of the policy and by means of wide-ranging computer handling.

The financial institutions in the group made certain provisions in their financial statements as needed, but at this stage the companies of the group cannot estimate the full scope and costs of the treatment and cleansing processes and the full consequences thereof, including in relation to their past activity, inter alia because of the complexity involved in dealing with and locating cleansing gaps and the difficulty in making an assessment of the financial repercussions deriving from the correction of the cleansing gaps, including the difficulty in estimating a potential offset between cleansing gaps that increase the rights of the customers and cleansing gaps that reduce those rights. Moreover, it is also not possible to predict all of the types of claims that will arise in connection with the above and/or the exposure that derives from them in connection with the activities in these areas which could arise through, among other ways, the procedural mechanism of the class action suit and/or wide-ranging decisions made by the Commissioner.

In October 2015, the respondents filed an application for leave to appeal in the Supreme Court, the main point of which was to object to the determination by the District Court that the previous compromise arrangement that Clal Insurance had made on a similar question, does not create an act of a court, which blocks the presentation of the present application for approval, and that it does not afford Clal Insurance protection under Section 6 of the Torts Ordinance. The respondents have made it clear that they retain the right to appeal on the other determinations that were made in the decision by the District Court at the end of the proceedings. In November 2015, the Court handed down its decision, in accordance with which the leave to appeal required a response and this was presented that month. In February 2016, the Supreme Court upheld the motion of Clal Insurance and the defendants from January 2016 to stay the deliberation procedures of the claim in the District Court until a ruling is rendered in the motion for leave of appeal and further instructed to hold a hearing in the motion for leave of appeal before 3 judges.

In July 2015, a claim was filed with the District Court of Tel Aviv, as well as a motion to approve the claim as a class action, against Clal Insurance and another insurance company. The plaintiff contends that Clal Insurance does not take into account (allegedly), in its determination of the premiums in comprehensive motor insurance, subjective historical data regarding the insured vehicle which affect its value, but does take into account such data in its calculation of the amount of compensation to which the policyholder is entitled, and also does not specify, in its insurance policy, the value of the vehicle as the basis for the calculation of the amount of compensation paid upon the occurrence of an entitling event. The requested remedies include ordering Clal Insurance to cease establishing insurance premiums without taking into account the history of the policyholder’s vehicle, to repay to the class members the amounts which were unlawfully overcollected by it, with the addition of duly calculated linkage differentials and interest, from the collection date until the date of its actual repayment; to order Clal Insurance to change its premium amounts in a manner whereby, from now on, they will include the value of the insured vehicles as the basis for the calculation of the premiums. The class which the plaintiff wishes to represent includes policyholders who, in the last seven years, or in some part of that period, insured their vehicle by comprehensive motor insurance, and where, with respect to the insured vehicle, there is a difference between the basic price list price, and the weighted price list price.

The personal damages claimed by the plaintiff with respect to Clal Insurance amounts to NIS 1,300, for each year during which his vehicle was insured by Clal Insurance. According to the plaintiffs’ estimate, the total damages incurred by all members of the class which they wish to represent amounts to NIS 1.17 billion. The plaintiffs have not specified the amount claimed from Clal Insurance only, if the claim is approved as a class action.

In September 2015, a lawsuit was filed against Clal Pensions and Provident Funds Ltd. as well as against four additional companies that are managers of pension funds ("The defendants") in the District Court in Tel-Aviv. The application was filed by policy holders in the pension funds that are managed by the defendants ("The plaintiffs").
|
|
The plaintiffs allege that the mechanism for remunerating agents and brokers with commissions, as a percentage of the management fees that are collected from the policy holders, as is customary among the defendants, constitutes a breach of the duty of faith opposite the policy holders in the provident funds that are managed by the defendants, and leads to the collection of higher than appropriate management fees by the defendants.
|
|
The group which the plaintiffs seek to represent is that of the policy holders in the provident funds that are managed by the defendants, from whom management fees were collected with a commission being given to the agents, which are derived from the level of the management fees, the remedies that are being claimed as part of the application are, inter alia, to require the defendants to change the remuneration mechanism for the agents and to refund to the policy holders the excess management fees that were collected.
|
|
The amount of the class action against all of the defendants is estimated at an amount of approximately NIS 2 billion, reflecting damage at a rate of approximately NIS 300 million a year since 2008. It should be noted on this matter, that the Association of Life Assurance Companies has presented an opening motion action in the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court, and that as part of those proceedings, a declarative remedy has been sought in accordance with which the remuneration of the insurance agencies as a percentage of the management fees that are collected from the insurees is not prohibited under the law.

In February 2016, a claim and motion for approval as class action were filed against Clal Pension and Provident Funds Ltd., as well as against the other four companies managing pension funds (the "defendants") with the Central District Court in Lod,. The action was filed by an association claiming that its goal is to work for vulnerable populations and people with special needs (the "plaintiff").

Moreover and in general, in addition to the general exposure that the financial institutions of the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings group have with respect to future actions, from time to time, including as a result of complaints of policyholders, audits and requests to receive information, there is also an exposure for warnings regarding the Commissioner’s intention to impose on those bodies financial sanctions and/or instructions of the Commissioner regarding an amendment and/or restitution and/or the implementation of certain operations with regard to operations that were carried out by financial institutions in the group in the past, with regard to a policyholder or group of policyholders and/or exposure for wide-ranging decisions in which framework the Commissioner can also order the making of restitution to customers for the defects addressed by the warnings or the decisions and/or position papers published by supervisory bodies whose status and degree of influence are uncertain.
|
|
Moreover, from time to time the financial institutions are subject to hearings and/or discussions with the Commissioner of Insurance’s office with regard to the aforesaid warnings and/or rulings and occasionally enforcement powers are exercised against them, culminating in the imposition of monetary sanctions. The financial institutions in the Group are examining the need to make provisions in the financial statements with regard to the aforesaid warnings on the basis of an opinion of their legal advisers and/or are in the process of studying the warnings, according to need as the case may be. In addition, in the reported period of 2015, monetary sanctions were imposed on Clal Insurance and Clal Pension and Provident, each in immaterial amounts.
|
|
The following are details regarding the Commissioner’s position or fundamental decisions that have or may have an effect on the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings group, as aforesaid:
|
|
1.
|
In August 2013, the Commissioner published a fundamental decision with regard to raising management fees without giving notice and on December 17, 2014, an amendment to the decision was published, postponing the dates for completing its implementation (‘the decision’).
|
|
Pursuant to the provisions of the decision, management companies are required to examine all of the accounts in which management fees were raised in the period between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2009 (hereinafter: ‘the restitution period’) and to return to each member, who was charged management fees during that period other than pursuant to the provisions of regulation 53B(a) of the Income Tax Regulations, the amounts that he was overcharged, unless an examination exception and/or a restitution exception applies to that member, as stated below. The amounts standing to the member’s credit according to the decision will bear annual interest at a rate of 5.1%, starting from the date on which the management fees were overcharged until the date of making the payments pursuant to the provisions of the decision.
|
|
The decision determined cases in which an exemption will be given with regard to the examination and restitution of money, and other cases in which an exemption will be given with regard to the restitution of money only. Moreover, various provisions were determined with regard to the manner of carrying out the restitution, documentation of the restitution, giving notice to members and reporting to the Commissioner with regard to the implementation of the restitution instructions.
|
|
Pursuant to the provisions of the decision, by August 31, 2015, management companies are required to complete the making of the examination and the restitution, and by December 31, 2015, the companies are required to send the Commissioner a summary report of the internal auditor of the companies, confirming the implementation of the provisions of the decision.
|
|
Clal Pension and Provident implemented the provisions of the decision. It is indicated that in March 2015, a class action was filed against Clal Insurance in the matter, the object of the commissioner's decision in connection with raising management fees without an advance notice.

In May 2015, a fundamental decision was published with respect to joining collective life insurance. The decision was published following cross inspections carried out by the commissioner on collective life insurance in insurance companies under which certain cases were revealed where insured persons were joined to collective life insurance without their written consent, this despite the fact that the insured persons paid the insurance cost (fully or partly) (the insured). According to the provisions of the decision it was determined, that as to existing group life insurance policies on the decision date for which the insurance company cannot present a consent letter, the insurance company must ascertain the existence of a written consent of those insured to join such policies no later from the upcoming renewal date of the policy or 12 months from the publication date, whichever is earlier (the effective date). If the insurance company did not obtain the consent of a certain insured in such policies until the effective date, the insurance will not be renewed for that insured person in the insured group and a notice in this regard will be sent to the insured person a month before the renewal date (the policy continues for the other insured).
|
|
The aforesaid will not apply to (1) insured group for which the commissioner's approval was granted exempting the insurance company from the duty of keeping a list of policyholders, for example, as a result of the security classification of that group of policyholders or as a result of the policyholder being a provident fund management company; (2) collective life insurance policies that were issued pursuant to an obligation in the law; (3) life insurance policies that were marketed before January 1, 2006 (‘old policies’) and were not renewed. On the next renewal date of old policies, the insurance company is required to obtain consents from the aforesaid policyholders.The decision will enter into effect 60 days after the date of its publication. Clal Insurance operates according to the provisions of the decision so as to identify the relevant insured and obtain their consent as required by the provisions of the decision.
|
|
In February 2015, a fundamental decision was published with regard to the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, 5758-1998 (“the Equal Rights Law”). As part of the decision, it is clarified, inter alia, that the insurance company is liable to deliver to a policyholder with disabilities that is given different treatment, as defined in the law, or a person with disabilities who was refused insurance, a reasoned notice in writing that will state that the insurance company’s decision derived from the fact that in its estimation the particular insurance risk as a result of the disability is greater in comparison to the insurance risk of persons who do not have that disability. The aforesaid notice shall also include a synopsis of at least one of the following matters: the actuarial figures, statistical figures, medical information or other information regarding the increase of the specific insurance risk, which formed the basis for the aforesaid decision of the insurance company, and a summary of the information on which it relied with respect to that person (such as: a reference to professional articles or a reference to a reinsurer’s guidelines, with regard to the underwriting terms on which Clal Insurance relied for the purpose of its decision). The decision gives the Commissioner authority with regard to the implementation of the provisions of the law.

Following the draft of the principle decision that was published in March 2015 regarding the payment of VAT and impairment of a vehicle that was not repaired,,in June 2015, the Commissioner published a binding version of the principle determination, in which it was determined that if the insurer chose to compensate the policyholder through payment of the damage value, as specified in section 4 of the Addendum to the Control of Insurance Business Regulations (Contract Terms in Private Motor Insurance), 5746 - 1986, or in the event that a third party claims its direct damages with respect to the repair of the vehicle, and if the amount of damages was determined by a loss adjuster, and the insurance company did not appeal the loss adjuster's decision, it is required to pay insurance benefits which include, inter alia, the decrease in the vehicle’s value, if any, and the value added tax which applies in that case (provided that they are not entitled to a deduction of input tax), including if the plaintiff has not actually repaired his vehicle. In Clal Insurance's estimation, the aforementioned determination is not expected have to significant implications on Clal Insurance regarding motor property policies.
|
|
It is noted that, in May 2015, a class action was filed against Clal Insurance and additional insurance companies regarding the subject of the principle determination, in connection with apartment insurance and motor insurance, in a claimed amount which is immaterial for Clal Insurance.

Clal Insurance is holding discussions with the Commissioner within the framework of a draft decision concerning one-time deposits of policyholders in policies that guarantee a yield (‘the policies’). Pursuant to the draft, Clal Insurance is required to carry out certain operations with regard to policyholders where the actual yield of the one-time deposits, which bore the yield of a profit-participating portfolio, was equal to or exceeded the guarantees yield in the policies, and certain operations with regard to policyholder where the actual yield on the one-time deposits was lower than the guaranteed yield. Clal Insurance is holding discussions with the Commissioner with regard to the draft decision. Therefore, at this stage, in view of the fact that it is not known that the final wording of the decision will be, if and insofar as one will be made, Clal Insurance is unable to estimate the ramifications and the extent of its impact on Clal Insurance, if and insofar as it will be published.

In January 2015, the “Commissioner’s Position – Definition of the Insurance Event in Nursing Insurance” was published, with the purpose of clarifying the Commissioner’s interpretation of the definition of a nursing insurance event that appears in the Nursing Circular. Pursuant to the position paper, when resolving claims, an insurance company is required to examine whether a policyholder is capable of carrying out by himself a material part of the action, so that the examination will be made in accordance with the purposive interpretation described within the framework of the position paper. It is noted that in August 2015, a class action was filed against Clal Insurance in the matter, the object of the Commissioner’s position with regard to the manner of defining an insurance event in nursing insurance.
|
|
In addition, in January 2015, the Commissioner published a wide-ranging position of the Commissioner with regard to the payment of a financial institution to a licensee (‘the position paper’). Pursuant to the position paper, the Commissioner objects to financial institutions paying licensees commissions that are based on the management fees paid by the member or the policyholder, according to which the commissions that will be paid to the licensee will be higher insofar as the management fees that will be paid by the customer will be higher.
|
|
The insurance companies contacted the Commissioner with regard to the status and legality of the position paper. In March 2015, the Commissioner issued a notice and a clarification that the position paper does not constitute a new positive regulation of the manner in which the commissions should be calculated, that the Commissioner did not intend to exercise the enforcement power given to her pursuant to the provisions of the law in all that concerns the activity of the institutional entities and pension insurance agents with respect to customers joining the institutional entities before the publication of the position paper and even in the period immediately thereafter according to the system of contracts that existed as of the publication date.

In January 2015, the Commissioner published the Commissioner's across the board position regarding a payment by a financial institution to a license holder ("The position paper"). In accordance with the position paper, the Commissioner objects to financial institutions paying agency fees to license holders, which are derived from the management fees that the policy holders or insurees pay and where accordingly, the higher the management fees that the customer pays, the higher the agency fees that will be paid to the license holder. The insurance companies have referred to the Commissioner in connection with the status of the position paper and its legality. In March 2015, the Commissioner issued an announcement and a clarification, according to which the position paper does not constitute a positive new regulation on the manner in which the agency fee is to be calculated, that it is not the Commissioner's intention to exercise the enforcement powers that are afforded to her, in accordance with the provisions of the law, on any matter relating to the activity of the institutional bodies and the pension insurance agents, in relation to customers who joined the financial institutions before the publication of the position paper, and even in the period shortly afterwards, in accordance with the set of contracts that existed at the time of its publication. The financial institutions in the group are studying the implications of the position paper, inter alia with regard to its legality, its effect on agreements with agents and marketers, including the need to construct a new remuneration model and the ability to create a connection between income and expenses in these marketing channels. According to the Commissioner’s position, if changes do not take place, there may be implications for the field of pension savings in general, on the amount of the management fees that will be charged to the customers, on contracts with agents and marketers and the financial institutions and the possibility of the financial institutions linking income to expenses. In June 2015, The Israel Insurance Association filed with the District Court a claim for declaratory relief in which the Court was requested to declare and determine that the compensation derived from the management fees per se is not prohibited by law, and that the institutional entities, by engaging in agreements which include compensation which is derived from management fees, have not committed a breach of their legal duty. In February 2016, the District Court decided that the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to hear the case and therefore it ordered the lawsuit to be summarily dismissed, because the District Court did not have issue jurisdiction to hear it.
|
|
Regarding a class action filed on the subject of decision in principle, see Section (a) (4) above. It should be noted that in January 2016 the draft Control of Financial Services (Provident Funds) (Amendment – Severing the Calculation of the Distribution Commission from Management Fees) Law, 5776-2016, was tabled in the Knesset. According to this, it is proposed that the distribution commission paid to the agent will not be calculated in relation to management fees the Company collects from its members. After considering all the procedures outlined above, the financial institutions are unable to estimate, at this stage, the full implications of the Commissioner's position for the past and for the future.

In October 2015, draft instructions to correct deficiencies in the marketing of personal accident policies (the "Draft") were published. The draft refers to policyholders in personal accident policies, who joined the personal accident insurance by insurers after they had a previous insurance policy by the same insurer and by the process of telephone sale initiated by the insurer, and this is from January 2014 under the terms in the draft (below, respectively: "insurance" and "policyholders "or" policyholder"). According to the draft, the insurance company must contact the policyholders and obtain their explicit consent to continue to be insured by such insurance and cancel the coverage and return the premiums paid plus interest and linkage differences, if the insured has not approved it. Clal Insurance discusses with the Commissioner regarding the draft.

On February 10, 2016, a claim and a motion to approve the claim as class action (the claim) was filed against Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and its board members (the defendants) with the Tel Aviv District Court by a shareholder in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings who holds also the Company's bonds. The main argument contained in the claim is that in view of the fact that the activity value of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings is not reflected in its value quoted in the stock exchange and is even significantly greater than its equity and in view of the duty of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and its board members to act so as to increase the value for Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings shareholders, Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and its board members should have attempted to sell its assets (the majority of which is holding in Clal insurance) to other insurance companies in Israel by a tender when each asset of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings is offered for sale separately. The causes of action alleged against the defendants, among others, are lack of activity on their part to increase the value for the shareholders of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and their negligence on acting to mitigate the damage caused to the plaintiff and the group members due to the difference between the stock exchange value of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and its economic value or at least the difference between the stock exchange value and the equity of the Company. The group the plaintiff seeks to represent is the shareholders of Clal who hold the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings that are listed for trade in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. It is indicated that on February 11, 2016, the plaintiff addressed the Company requesting the latter to join the claim and the stay of proceedings motion filed therewith and notify that if it will not join, he will file in its name a motion for a derivative claim in this regard. The amount of the class action for the damage caused to the group members is NIS 2,125 million. This amount represents the difference between the stock exchange market value of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings and the equity of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings according to its financial statements. The main relief sought under the claim, among others, are: require the defendants compensate the group members for the damages caused that derive from the omission of the defendants to act to increase the value for the shareholders of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings by selling its operations or alternatively require Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings to act to sell such assets so as to mitigate the damage caused to the group members. It is indicated that the directors of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings have indemnification letters from Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings. At the same time the claim and the motion to approve the claim as class action were filed, the plaintiff filed with the Tel Aviv District Court against the defendants and other defendants, including the Company, its board members, the trustee for the Company's shares in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, Mr. Moshe Tery, (as stated in Note 3.H.5.B above) (the trustee) and the Commissioner a motion for injunction and an urgent motion for temporary injunction under which the plaintiff requests to instruct the stay of sale procedures of the shares of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings that are held by the Company through the trustee and this is pursuant to an outline set forth by the commissioner as stated in Note 3.H.5.C above) (the motions). The plaintiff requests to stay the above sale procedures until a conclusive decision is made in the claim. The key cause of action indicated in the motions for stay of the sale procedures is that the realization of the shares under such outline prior to hearing the claim may cause irreparable damage to the Company and its bond holders.

In addition to the lawsuits set out in sections a, b and c above, there are immaterial lawsuits against investee companies of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings Group, totaling NIS 66 million.

In September 2012, a motion to certify the filing of a derivative action in an amount of NIS 370 million in the name of Discount Investments against its directors was filed with the Tel-Aviv-Jaffa District Court (in this section, “the Motion for Certification”), by applicants claiming to be minority shareholders of Discount Investments (hereinafter in this section, “the applicants”). Together with the motion for approval, a draft of the derivative claim was also filed with the Court.
|
|
The Motion for Certification relates to investments made by Discount Investments in Maariv Holdings Ltd. ("Maariv") at both the initial stage that Discount Investments invested in acquiring control of Maariv and at various later stages, and it alleges, inter alia, that the directors named in the motion acted negligently and recklessly, and breached their duty of skill and caution towards Discount Investments with regard to their care and/or involvement in those investments, and therefore they should compensate the Discount Investments for the damage it incurred, which according to the plaintiffs, on the basis of an expert opinion on their behalf, is estimated at NIS 370 million. In August 2015, subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, the Central District Court - Lod decided to approve the aforementioned motion. According to the Court’s decision, inter alia, a basis has supposedly been established for the existence of cause of action for Discount Investment against the aforementioned directors, with respect to breach of their duty of care towards Discount Investment, by acting in a negligent and rash manner regarding their decision to acquire Ma’ariv, and as a result, caused Discount Investment to incur damages which were comprised of both the initial acquisition cost of Ma’ariv, and of the additional investments therein.

|
·
|
The following are the relevant tax rates in Israel in the years 2013-2014:
|
·
|
In August 2013, the Knesset passed legislation, increasing the tax rate for companies to 26.5% (an increase of 1.5%) from January 1, 2014, and also amending the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments such that as from that date, the tax that will apply to a preferred company in Development Area A will stand at 9% and the tax rate that will apply to companies in the rest of the country will stand at 16%. The current taxes for the reported periods are calculated in accordance with the tax rates presented above.
|
·

|
|
2.
|
The balance of the losses for tax purposes of consolidated companies amounts to approximately NIS 13.2 billion as of December 31, 2014, and deferred taxes have not been recorded in respect of NIS 11.2 billion of these losses since there is no certainty that they will be utilized in the foreseeable future.

In 2013, the Group recognized a deferred tax asset in an amount of NIS 108 million and a deferred tax liability in an amount of NIS 15 million, in respect of timing differences relating to Given and in respect of unutilized tax losses, which are expected to be utilized at the time of the completion of the transaction that is mentioned in note 3.H.6.a. above. As a result, in 2013 the Group recorded net deferred tax income of NIS 100 million (the Company's share of the aforesaid income amounted to NIS 23 million) and a capital reserve on translation differences of NIS 5 million, which is attributed to the Company. In 2014, the Group recorded a reversal of the amounts of the aforesaid deferred taxes on the date of the actual disposal of Given.

Further to that stated in note 3.H.3.a. above with regard to a program for the spin-off of Shufersal’s real estate, the spin-off was implemented as a spin-off exempt from Income Tax and Land Appreciation Tax pursuant to the provisions of part E.2 of the Income Tax Ordinance and subject to the terms provided therein. The main restrictions that were imposed on Shufersal Real Estate and Shufersal as a result of the spin-off, which mostly terminate on March 31, 2015, mainly concern the issue of the shares of the Shufersal Real Estate Company and the sale of assets by Shufersal Real Estate, and reduced Income Tax and an exemption from real estate taxation for real estate for which construction has not yet begun or real estate/branches whose construction is in progress and where the utilized building rights, prior to the spin-off, were less than 30% of the building rights that can be utilized.

In July 2015, subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position , a ruling was given by the Supreme Court on the appeal filed by Tadiran Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Koor (“Tadiran”), in connection with a tax assessment which was determined by the tax assessment office with respect to 1999, in which the Supreme Court accepted the appeal, and ordered that the tax assessment office is required to reimburse Tadiran for taxes paid in accordance with the ruling of the District Court regarding the aforementioned assessment, with the addition of interest and linkage differentials. As a result, the Company recorded, in 2014, its share in the net profit in the amount of NIS 23 million with respect to the net amounts which are expected to be received in accordance with the aforementioned ruling.

A.
|
Insignificant transactions that are not extraordinary
|
|
1.
|
The Audit Committee (and in previous years, the Company’s Board of Directors) determined guidelines and rules for classifying a transaction of the Company or of its subsidiary with an interested party as an insignificant transaction as provided in regulation 41(a3)(1) of the Securities Regulations (Annual Financial Statements) 5770 - 2010 (“the Financial Statements Regulations”). These rules and guidelines are used to examine the scope of the disclosure required in a periodic report and in the prospectus (including in shelf prospectus reports) with respect to a transaction of the Company, an entity controlled by it and a related company with a controlling shareholder or in which the controlling shareholder has an interest in the approval of the aforementioned transaction, as specified in regulation 22 of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730 - 1970 (“the Periodic Reports Regulations”) and in regulation 54 of the Securities Regulations (Details of a Prospectus and Draft of a Prospectus – Structure and Form), 5729 - 1969 (hereunder – “the Prospectus Details Regulations”), for examining the need to provide an immediate report on the said transaction of the Company as specified in regulation 37A(6) of the Periodic Reports Regulations, for the purpose of approving transactions with a controlling owner or in which the controlling owner has personal interests, which are not extraordinary and are not negligible, pursuant to the provisions of section 117(2a) of the Companies Law and for the purpose of approving negligible transactions with an interested party or in which an interested party has a personal interest (all of which as stated in section 126 of the Company’s Articles).30 (The types of transactions specified in the aforementioned Financial Statement Regulations, Periodic Reports Regulations and Prospectus Details Regulations are hereafter referred to as “interested party transactions”).
|

|
It should be noted that (a) as part of the approval of the creditors’ arrangement in IDB Holding Corporation Ltd. by the court on January 5, 2014 (in accordance with the outline of Mr. Eduardo Elsztain and a corporation controlled by him (Dolphin Fund Limited) together with E.T.H. M.R.M. Extra Holdings Ltd. (which is controlled by Mr. Mordechai Ben-Moshe)), the control of IDB Holdings (and indirectly also the Company) was taken from the previous owners, Nochi Dankner, Shelly Bergman, Ruth and Isaac Manor and Avraham Livnat (including parties related to any of the above) (“the previous controlling shareholders”). Consequently, starting from the aforesaid date, the Company no longer regards transactions in which the previous controlling shareholders have or had a personal interest as transactions in which a current controlling shareholder in the Company has a personal interest or as transactions with related parties; (b) Until July 5, 2012, the date of completion of the sale of most of the Company's holdings in Clal Industries Ltd. (“Clal Industries”), Clal Industries was a (consolidated) subsidiary under the control of the Company. As from the aforesaid date and in respect of 2012 and 2013, and until March 6, 2013, Clal Industries, for the sake of caution and for the purpose of this note, is considered a related party of the Company. On March 6, 2013, IDB Development sold the rest of its holdings (approx. 10.6%) in Clal Industries. For the sake of caution, from March 6, 2013 until the end of 2013, transactions of the Company and/or of companies under its control with companies in the Clal Industries Group may have been considered transactions in which the controlling shareholder in the Company during the relevant periods (Mr. Avraham Livnat) might have a personal interest due to business ties of companies controlled by him with a company controlled by Clal Industries; and (c) as a result the appointment of a trustee for the Company’s holdings in Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, as described in note 3.H.5.b. above, the Company discontinued the consolidation of the financial statements of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings in the Company’s financial statements for the third quarter of 2013, and therefore, this note includes transactions of the Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings Group with the Company and with its related parties in respect of 2013 and 2014.

According to the covenants and guidelines, if no special qualitative considerations arise from the overall circumstances of the matter, an interested party transaction that is not an extraordinary transaction (i.e., it is executed in the ordinary course of business, at market terms and is not supposed to have a material effect on the profitability, assets or liabilities of the Company) will be considered insignificant if the relevant ratio calculated for the transaction is less than 0.5% and the amount of the transaction does not exceed NIS 8 million (with this amount being adjusted from time to time according to the rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index from the index known at the beginning of 2010). As of December 31, 2014, this amount stands at NIS 8.7 million (‘the amount of the negligibility ceiling”). In every interested party transaction that is being examined for insignificance, one or more of the ratios relevant to the specific transaction will be calculated on the basis of the most recent audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements of the Company: (a) for purchases of fixed assets (“non-current asset”) – the amount of the transaction compared to total assets in the statement of financial position that is included in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company; (b) for sales of fixed assets (“non-current asset”) – the gain/loss from the transaction compared to the average annual profit (meaning for four quarters) in the last 12 quarters for which audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements of the Company were published.

In accordance with the manpower arrangement, the Company is the employer of the relevant employees, and IDB Holdings participated in their manpower expenses at the rate of 20% from the said expenses, up to an annual maximum amount which amounted, as of May 2014, to NIS 23.4 million. The manpower arrangement also stipulated that it did not apply to any payments paid by the Company to the Chairman of the Board of the Company and/or his deputies, and it provides, after an amendment to the manpower arrangement was approved in March 2011 by the Board of Directors of the Company, after having been approved by the Company's Audit Committee, that when Mr. Haim Gavrieli begins to serve as the Company’s CEO on April 1, 2011, the manpower arrangement would also apply to amounts paid by the Company to the Company’s CEO as from that date.

For the period from January 1, 2014, until May 2014 (inclusive), the Company paid expenses for joint manpower in a sum of NIS 4.6 million; IDB Holdings contributed to these expenses in an amount of 20%, i.e., a sum of NIS 0.92 million.

According to understandings reached between the Company and IDB Holdings, since June 2014 the aforesaid agreement and the arrangement stated in subsections (2) and (3) below no longer apply, and new consents applied between the Company and IDB Holdings, according to which IDB Holdings will pay from that time fixed monthly amounts for management services that are provided by the Company to IDB Holdings. For the period from June 1, 2014, until December 31, 2014, IDB Holdings paid the Company a sum of NIS 850 thousand for the management services. On March 30, 2015, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company’s transaction with IDB Holdings (through the trustees of the arrangement) in the agreement (in this section b – “the Management Services Agreement”), according to which management services will be provided to IDB Holdings by the Company or someone acting on its behalf (“the service providers”), from January 1, 2015, until August 31, 2015 (or earlier, insofar as the sale of the shelf corporation of IDB Holdings will be completed before that date). As part of the Management Services Agreement, there are provisions, inter alia, with regard to granting a release from liability, pursuant to the law, to the service providers for any damage resulting from a breach of a duty of care in an act done in good faith when providing the services, starting from January 2014. The Management Services Agreement was subject to the approval of the court. Subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, on April 27, 2015, the Court approved the engagement by the trustees for the settlement in a management services agreement with the Company as aforementioned.
|
|
On August 9, 2015, the trustees for the settlement notified the Company regarding the completion, on the same date, of the sale of the shell of IDB Holding, and therefore, beginning from that date, the aforementioned management services were discontinued, in accordance with the management services agreement, and the aforementioned agreement was terminated. For providing the services pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, it was determined that IDB Holdings shall pay the Company for the first quarter of 2015 a fixed monthly sum of NIS 80 thousand (plus VAT) and for the remainder of the months until the agreement ends, a fixed monthly sum of NIS 65 thousand (plus VAT).

For this purpose, it should be noted, that the annual amount of the depreciation on the furniture and equipment, based on figures in the books of IDB Holdings as of May 31, 2014, amounted to NIS 8.6 thousand (in 2013, the amount stood at NIS 23.3 thousand).

In August 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Clal Industries (through a wholly-owned subsidiary)31, as well as with DIC and Property & Building, regarding the division of the use of the space leased by the Company at the Azrieli Center in Tel Aviv that includes offices, parking spaces and storage space, which is used by the said companies as well as the Company (“the leasehold”), and regarding the breakdown of the rental and related fees in respect of the leasehold as from May 1, 2004 (“the expense breakdown agreement”). The Company’s undertaking in the Expense Breakdown Agreement was approved by the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders in September 2004, after it was approved by its Audit Committee and Board of Directors. The Expense Breakdown Agreement provides, inter alia, that additional companies of the IDB Group may request to join the arrangements between the parties, following which, at the terms provided in it. In July 2005, K.B.A. Townbuilders Group Ltd. (a company which was controlled by Clal Industries and was held by Property & Building) joined the Expense Breakdown Agreement;32 as of September 2006, Koor joined the Expense Breakdown Agreement; and as of May 2010, Modiin – Energy Management (1992) Ltd., a company controlled (indirectly) by the Company, joined the agreement33 (the aforesaid companies together with the Company, Clal Industries, DIC and Property & Building are hereinafter called: “the participating companies”).
|
|
Under the Expense Breakdown Agreement, the Company places parts of the leasehold at the disposal of the participating companies and each one of the participating companies bears the relative share of the rental and related expenses pertaining to the leasehold, on the basis of the ratio of the number of employees employed by that company in the leasehold’s premises, to the total number of employees employed by all of the participating companies in the office space, without taking into consideration the operating staff that serves all the participating companies in the leasehold’s premises and the payment for parking spaces and storage space included in the leasehold, which is based on the space actually used by each company.
|
31
|
As at January 1, 2014, this agreement was assigned to Clal Industries Ltd., with the consent of the parties to the agreement.
|
32
|
It is noted that in August 2013, Property & Building sold its holdings in this company, and as from September 30, 2013, this company does not make use of the leasehold, and accordingly, does not participate in the distribution of expenses.

After the date of the Statement of Financial Position, the Company and Modiin – Energy Management (1992) Ltd. reached understandings with regard to a past debt of Modiin that was in dispute with regard to this agreement.

In January 2004, after receiving the approval of the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders approved arrangements between the Company and IDB Holdings regarding the breakdown of the rental and related payments in respect of certain areas the Company leases at the Azrieli Center in Tel Aviv (as described in section (a) above). In accordance with these arrangements, commencing on January 1, 2004, the Company paid 80% of the rental and related payments that were payable by it in accordance with the arrangements described in subsection a above, while IDB Holdings paid 20% of the said amounts, until May 2014 (inclusive). Since June 2014, new consents come into effect between the Company and IDB Holdings (through the trustees of the arrangement), according to which IDB Holdings will pay fixed monthly amounts (for further details, see subsection 1 above).

In December 2005, after receiving the approval of its Audit Committee and Board of Directors, the Company’s general meeting approved the registration of the Company and of a wholly owned subsidiary as a “single dealer” together with IDB Holdings in accordance with the Value Added Tax Law, 5736 - 1975. The registration as a single dealer is not supposed to change the overall tax liability of the consolidated dealers. Nevertheless, such a registration creates a partnership for VAT purposes that can create a joint obligation of the single dealer for all the debts accumulated in the consolidation period by each one of the dealers included in the dealers’ consolidation. The Company and IDB Holdings have undertaken towards each other (“the other company”) to indemnify the other company for any amount the other company is required to pay (if at all) by the tax authorities, which is due to a debt not relating to a transaction executed by the other company, and therefore the other company is not required to pay VAT on it at source. In June 2014, the registration of the Company and IDB Holdings as one dealer as aforesaid was separated, and each of the companies was registered as a separate dealer. As of the date of separating the registration as aforesaid and as of the date of publishing the report, there were no liabilities between the Company and IDB Holdings. However, in view of the state of IDB Holdings, it is possible that the Company will have an exposure in an immaterial amount for the aforesaid.

The 2013-2014 policy – According to the decisions of July 2013, companies of the IDB Holdings Division purchased an officers’ liability insurance policy with respect to the period of one year beginning on December 1, 2013, the terms of which are in accordance with the principal terms of the engagement as determined in the resolutions from July 2013, with liability limits of $ 50 million per incident and cumulatively, at a total cost of $990 thousand (the Company paid half of the cost).
|
|
As part of the aforesaid policy, it is stipulated inter alia that the provision regarding “transaction” events (as mentioned below) will not apply with respect to any event which was under the auspices of the Court’s decision. Following the taking out of a “run off type policy”, the coverage under the policy was limited solely to claims that will be filed during the insurance period for acts done after December 1, 2013.

|
In this regard, a ‘transaction’ event is one of the following events: (1) a consolidation or merger into another entity or a sale of the main assets to another; (2) a purchase by any person or entity (whether separately or together with others) of more than 50% of the voting rights or the right to appoint directors; (3) becoming a subsidiary of another entity or a change of control; or (4) insolvency, receivership, bankruptcy or liquidation.

|
|
In view of the aforesaid, the Company and IDB Holdings entered into an agreement on May 7, 2014, with regard to changes in the policy relating to settling the continued insurance cover of officers in the Company, according to which the cover will continue to apply as it was at the time that the Company was a subsidiary of IDB Holdings during the balance of the insurance period of the policy, provided that liability for the listing of the Company’s shares on the Stick Exchange will be excluded and liability for the expected publication of the shelf prospectus by the Company and the issues of securities pursuant thereto will be excluded (‘the agreement’).

IDB Holdings and the Company undertook, inter alia, that throughout the whole of the insurance period they would not act in a manner that will derogate from the insurance cover that is provided by the policy or in any manner that will prejudice their rights and the rights of the policyholders pursuant to the policy, and that they will assist one another with regard to the realization of their rights as part of the policy, insofar as their involvement is required pursuant to the terms of the policy, and they confirmed that subject to the law and without derogating from any right of the insured pursuant to the policy, they will coordinate between them a request to an insurance company with regard to the policy in the case of a claim that includes claims both against the officers and/or the directors in IDB Holdings and against the officers in the Company; (c) the policy will be changed in such a way that the liability of the insurer with regard to the listing of the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange or with regard to the expected publication of the shelf prospectus and the issue of securities pursuant thereto will be excluded by the Company; (d) the Company and IDB Holdings will act to reach an agreement between them, with regard to the insurance cost according to the policy from the date of completing the arrangement, taking into account the significance of the creditors’ arrangement and in it the scope of the assets of the group under the Company as compared with the scope of the activity and the assets of IDB Holdings after the completion of the creditors’ arrangement. Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and IDB Holdings, whereby IDB Holdings paid 1/3 of the premium expenses, while the company paid 2/3 of the premium expenses (as opposed to an equal division between them), for the period starting on the day of completing the first stage of the debt arrangement, namely May 7, 2014, until the end of the insurance period. The consent of the insurers to the changes required in the policy (see sections (a) and (c) in the paragraph above) was received.

There was an agreement between the Company and each of Discount Investments and Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings, according to which the Company provided management services to those companies, which included, inter alia, appointments of employees of the Company, IDB Holdings, or their subsidiaries as directors in those companies, in return for management fees. In view of the provisions of Amendment no. 16, in November 2011 the general meeting of Discount Investments approved once again, and in May 2012 the general meeting of Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings approved once again, after the approval of the Audit Committees and Boards of Directors of each of them, the making of such an agreement by each of them with the Company.
|
|
Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings Group, and in view of the restrictions which were imposed on the Company as part of the Commissioner’s letter of November 2013 (see note 3.H.5.b. above), Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings gave notice to the Company of the suspension of the management agreement between them. Consequently, as of the date of publication of the report, Clal Insurance Enterprise Holdings does not pay management fees to the Company.

In November 2014, three years expired from the approval of the aforesaid transaction by the general meeting of Discount Investments. Therefore, in view of the provisions of the Companies Law, since December 2014 and as of the date of publication of the report, Discount Investments does not pay management fees to the Company and such a payment is subject to the approval of the competent organs of Discount Investments, including the approval of its general meeting with a special majority. It should be noted that from March 2014 until the date of publication of the report, no employees of the Company held office on the Board of Directors of Discount Investments. In the years 2014 and 2013, the Company received management fees from the aforesaid companies in a total amount of approximately NIS 1 million and NIS 3.85 million, respectively

On August 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved, after obtaining the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company for this purpose, to approve the Company’s position with regard to a settlement between the parties (not including the Company) in the derivative actions, not to oppose the settlement, except what is stated in the provisions that deprive the Company of the right to take legal action in other actions that also relate to distributions of dividends, which the Company made during the years 2010-2011, on account, inter alia, of Discount Investments’ claims (see note 23.C.1.h above). The resolution was ratified in January 2015. Subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, on March 5, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved, after obtaining the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company for this purpose, to agree to an amendment of the settlement between the parties in the derivative actions. According to the aforesaid amendment that is being formulated, if the Discount Investments’ claim is successful, the Company will retain the right of suing the directors and officers of the Company and IDB Holdings for a cause of action arising from that claim, on certain conditions. On July 1, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, following the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company, an amended settlement agreement to which IDB Holdings is also a party. On November 5, 2015, the Court approved the amended compromise agreement, and determined that in order to remove any doubt, the approval of the compromise agreement is solely and exclusively in relation to the claims and the grounds that were brought up in the derivative actions and solely and exclusively in relation to the plaintiffs that are included in them.

|
·
|
A loan in a sum of NIS 200 million will be given to Cellcom in June 2016 and will bear annual fixed interest at a rate of 4.6%.

In February 2015, Cellcom entered into an engagement through a collective labor agreement with the employees’ representatives and with the New General Federation of Workers for a period of three years (from 2015 until 2017). This agreement applies to Cellcom’s employees and those of Netvision Ltd., a subsidiary of Cellcom, apart from management positions and other particular positions.
|
|
The agreement pertains to employment policy and conditions involving different aspects, including minimum wage, annual salary increase, incentives, benefits and one-time payments or other annual payments to employees, welfare budget, as well as to procedures for staffing positions, mobility and dismissal and the authority of Cellcom’s management and that of the employees’ representatives in relation to those procedures.
|
|
The agreement includes new conditions according to which employees have the right to participate in Cellcom’s operating income over and above a certain threshold and to enjoy additional payments under certain conditions. Cellcom is of the opinion that the cost of this agreement to Cellcom over the years 2015-2017 is estimated at NIS 200 million, before tax. In the first quarter of 2015, Cellcom accounted for a one-time expense of NIS 30 million in respect of the aforesaid agreement, and the Company’s share in said expense amounts to NIS 10 million. In April 2015, Cellcom launched, in collaboration with the employees’ committee, a voluntary retirement program for employees. As a result, Cellcom recorded, in the second quarter of 2015, a non-recurring expense in the amount of NIS 25 million, with respect to the total bonuses for employees who joined this plan, and the Company’s share in the aforementioned expenses is NIS 7 million.

|
In the second quarter of 2015, Cellcom extended the estimated useful lifetime of the passive components in the cellular sites which primarily include construction works and antennas, as part of the re-evaluation, beginning from the start of the second quarter of 2015, such that the end date of their depreciation will occur in 2025. As a result of this change, Cellcom’s depreciation expenses decreased in each of the second and third quarters of 2015 by NIS 9 million.

Discount Investment performed an annual evaluation of the impairment of the goodwill attributed to Cellcom as at June 30, 2015. Further to that stated in Note 3.G.3. above, regarding the structural changes that are being evaluated, the recoverable value of the activity of Cellcom as at June 30, 2015 was calculated based on value in use. The value of the assets attributed to the activity of Cellcom, net of the liabilities attributed to Cellcom’s activities in the Company’s financial statements as at June 30, 2015 (including deferred tax balances attributed to the excess costs which were created upon the acquisition of Cellcom, against which Discount Investment recorded goodwill) (hereinafter: the “Value of the Cellcom Activity in the Financial Statements”), was within the range determined in the aforementioned economic paper for the recoverable value of Cellcom's activity as at that date. In light of the foregoing, impairment in respect of the goodwill was not recognized in the financial statements for the second quarter of 2015.
|
|
The real discount rate after tax, and the long-term growth rate used in the aforementioned economic paper to determine the upper threshold of the recoverable value, are 8.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The real discount rate after tax, and the long-term growth rate used in the aforementioned economic paper to determine the lower threshold of the recoverable value, are 9.25% and 1.25%, respectively.

In August 2015, Cellcom signed an agreement with the Bank of Israel (in this section below: "the Lender"), whereby the Lender agreed, subject to certain standard conditions, to provide Cellcom with an unlinked deferred loan amounting to NIS 140 million in December 2016, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.9%. The loan principal will be repaid in five equal payments, in June of each of the years 2018 to 2022.
|
|
The interest rate is subject to certain adjustments. Until the loan is provided, Cellcom is required to pay the Lender a commitment fee, and if it does not take out the loan - certain agreed compensation. Cellcom may bring forward the date of the loan, and in such case, the repayment dates of the loan will be brought forward. In addition, Cellcom may make early repayment of the loan, subject to payment of a premature repayment fee. The agreement also includes certain events, which, if not approved by the Lender, allow the Lender to inform Cellcom of acceleration of the loan repayment date.

In November 2015, Cellcom signed an agreement with Golan Telecom Ltd. ("Golan") and its shareholders, for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Golan, in consideration of a total of NIS 1.17 billion, subject to certain adjustments with respect to payables and receivables of Golan and to adjustments with respect to certain material changes for the worse in Golan, if any. In accordance with the aforementioned agreement:
|
·
|
Up to NIS 400 million of the acquisition price will be paid by means of a capital note convertible into shares, for a period of five years, which will be issued to the sellers by Cellcom. The note will be repaid by the issuance of ordinary shares of Cellcom, in an amount which will be determined according to the principal amount of the capital note, divided by the average price of Cellcom stock on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., shortly after the completion date of the transaction, less a certain discount. The sellers will be entitled to request conversion of the capital note into Cellcom shares, as stated above, or to assign the capital note to a third party, at any time following the passage of two years after the completion date. Until the conversion is performed, the note will entitle its holder to receive a fixed deferred payment equal to 3.5% of the principal, per year, to be paid on a semi-annual basis, and additionally, the note will be updated with respect to other conventional adjustments. Upon the conversion of the capital note, or upon the conclusion of the note period, Cellcom will be entitled to choose, in its exclusive discretion, whether to repay the note to the sellers by means of a cash payment in an amount equal to the market value of Cellcom shares at that time, as stated above, instead of issuing Cellcom shares. Golan shareholders will receive limited conventional and restricted rights regarding listing for trading with respect to those shares.
|
·
|
The network sharing agreements between Cellcom and Golan, as mentioned in Note 23.B.(6) above, which are subject to the approvals of the Ministry of Communication and the Antitrust Commissioner, which were not received, were terminated. In accordance with a previous agreement between Cellcom and Golan, had the aforementioned approvals not been received by December 31, 2015, Golan would have been required to pay to Cellcom the difference between the reduced payment which it actually paid, and the full payment which it was required to pay in accordance with the intra-national roaming agreement, with respect to the intra-national roaming services which were provided and will be provided by Cellcom to Golan from July 2014 to December 31, 2015. Cellcom and Golan agreed to postpone the payment date of this difference, which was determined as NIS 600 million, until the earlier of either the date of lawful termination of the agreement, or following the passage of 12 months after the signing date of the agreement without the transaction being completed.
|
·
|
Golan will continue purchasing intra-national roaming services from Cellcom until the earlier of either the completion date of the transaction or a certain date which was determined in the agreement after the date of its termination, and beginning from January 2016, Golan will increase its monthly payment to Cellcom to NIS 21 million. After the completion of the transaction, Cellcom will not receive from Golan intra-national roaming services.
|
·
|
The agreement includes, in general, declarations, undertakings, indemnification arrangements, conditions for the completion of the transaction and conventional conditions for termination. Specific conditions for the completion of the transaction include the receipt of approvals from the Ministry of Communication and the Antitrust Commissioner, and the absence of any material change for the worse in the position of Golan, as defined in the agreement. The agreement can be terminated by each of the parties if the transaction is not completed by 12 months after the signing date of the agreement.

3. On June 30, 2015, Property & Building updated the fair value assessments with respect to all of its revenue-generating properties and real estate under construction in Israel, as part of its policy to prepare, at least once per year, valuations for all of its investment property. The valuations were performed by external, independent appraisers, possessing the appropriate professional skills. The valuations were primarily performed by discounting the cash flows that are expected to arise from the assets. The discount rates used by the appraisers are mostly 7.25% - 10.75% per year, and were determined in consideration of the type and designation of the property, the location of the property and the amount of rent, as compared with the market price and the quality of the lessees. When determining the value of office buildings, buildings designated for hi-tech industries and commercial buildings (which are primarily located in the central regions and in hi-tech parks, and which are rented by high quality lessees), a discount rate of 7.25% - 9.0% per year was primarily used, whereas the warehouse, storage and industry buildings (which are mostly located in the peripheral areas) were primarily evaluated based on discount rates of 8.25% - 10% per year.
|
|
The evaluation of the returns embodied in real estate transactions which were performed in the market with respect to properties which are similar to the properties of Property & Building, and the stability of the high occupancy rate of these properties, caused a decrease in the discount rates which were used by the external appraisers, primarily at rates of 0.15% - 0.25% per year, as compared with the discount rates which were used in the previous valuation of all properties of Property & Building in Israel, which was prepared in June 2014. In addition, in the third quarter of 2015, the fair value was adjusted for yielding properties under construction and for a number of vacant properties owned by Property & Building in Israel. As a result of the aforementioned fair value updates, the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the second and third quarters of 2015 includes revenues in the amount of NIS 147 million and NIS 31 million, respectively.

GW is working to obtain external financing for the project, although there is no certainty that such financing will indeed be received. In light of the restrictions which apply to the Company at present, it is unable to provide its share of the facility required by IDBG until external financing has been received for the project and/or for the purpose of receiving it, as stated above. Therefore, the provision of the facility must be performed by Property & Building only.

In September 2015, the audit committees and the boards of directors of the Company and of Property & Building approved the adjustments to the agreement. On September 20, 2015, the general meeting of the shareholders of Property & Building, approved the agreement (after the adjustment), and accordingly, all the preconditions for completion of the transaction in accordance with the agreement were fulfilled.

The amounts withdrawn on account of the facility will be referred to as the “Used Amounts”. The facility will be used by IDBG for the purpose of the construction and operation of the project and/or for various financing needs involving the aforementioned construction and operation.

Repayment of the debt in case of a transfer of rights in IDBG - In case of a transfer of 50% or more of the Company’s rights in IDBG as of the signing date of the agreement, the Company will provide to IDBG funds as a loan, which will settle the priority amount, in a manner whereby the priority amount will be reduced to zero. In case of a transfer of the Company’s rights in IDBG at a lower rate than 50% of its rights in IDBG as of the signing date of the agreement, the Company will provide to IDBG funds as a loan in an amount which will be no less than the consideration with respect to the aforementioned transfer, and IDBG will use these funds to repay to Property & Building amounts on account of the priority amount, such that the share of Property & Building in the debt balance will not exceed the aggregate rate of holding of Property & Building and the Company in the share capital of IDBG following the transfer.
|
|
Conversion mechanism - At the end of the loan period, or before then, upon the occurrence of a breach event (“Loan Termination Date”), insofar as there will still be a priority amount which has not been repaid to Property & Building, the entire balance of the debt will be converted into share capital of IDBG, and to the right to receive repayment of the shareholder’s loans which will be allocated to the Company and to Property & Building, in accordance with their proportional part in the debt balance, according to the value of IDBG at the time. The value of IDBG, as stated above, as well as the conversion ratio, will be determined by a reputable external appraiser, whose identity will be agreed upon by the Company and Property & Building.
|
|
The agreement includes a mechanism to determine the appraiser's identity, in case agreement has not been reached on the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as of the loan termination date, a breach event has occurred, Property & Building will be entitled to give notice regarding its desire not to act in accordance with the aforementioned conversion mechanism, but rather to demand the full and immediate repayment, in cash, of the priority amount, and as part of the above, to dispose of all IDBG’s assets, in any manner permitted for this purpose by law, and to perform all actions required for the purpose of the full and immediate repayment of the priority amount.

Under the agreement, it was agreed that, insofar as may be required, Property & Building will agree to lift the pledges which have been given to it with respect to the shares of GW and QT, and will agree that the pledges, which have been given to it with respect to IDBG’s rights to the repayment of the shareholder’s loans which were provided to GW and QT, will be made subject to securities which will be given to an external entity.

The fair value of the HSBC building in New York was adjusted on September 30, 2015 to $ 820 million, based on a valuation received from an independent appraiser in the United States. The valuation was prepared mainly by discounting the future cash flows expected to arise from revenue. The current discount rate used by the appraiser is 6.75% per year. Following the above, the third quarter of 2015 includes revenue of $ 200 million from the increase in fair value of investment property, a provision of $ 31 million (included in these financial statements under General and administrative expenses), and deferred tax expenses of $ 64 million.

The value of the Tivoli project in the financial statements of GW as at September 30, 2015 was reduced to $ 281 million, based on the valuation prepared for the project by an independent outside appraiser.

For this reduction, in the third quarter of 2015, the Company and Property & Building recognized a loss of NIS 45 million, each. The Company's share in the consolidated financial statements amounts to a loss of NIS 70 million.

Further to that stated in Note 3.H.3.B above, in the first nine months of 2015, Shufersal performed a re-evaluation of branches with operational and cash flow losses in geographical areas, and reached the conclusion that 8 branches (which are mainly leased through operational leases) out of all evaluated branches no longer contribute, either in operational and/or strategic terms, to the geographical region (the cash generating unit) with which they are associated, and therefore decided to close them, and also decided to reduce the size of an owned branch. As a result, non-recurring operating expenses were included in the financial statements for the nine months of 2015 as follows:
|
Non-recurring expenses (millions of NIS)
|
||||
First half of 2015
|
||||
Closure and reduction of branches - impairment losses (*)
|

Closure of branches - provision for onerous contracts

Total non-recurring expenses recorded by Shufersal
|

Total non-recurring expenses after attributing taxes recorded by Shufersal
|

Total non-recurring expenses after attributing taxes in the Company’s consolidated statement of income (with the addition of the amortization of excess cost attributed in Discount Investment to the relevant properties)
|
(25 | ) | ||
Share of the Company’s owners in the aforementioned expenses after the attribution of taxes
|
(9 | ) |
|
(*)
|
Regarding the 8 branches which are designated for closure, Shufersal performed an evaluation of the recoverable value in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, separately from the cash generating unit to which they were associated, andcalculated a recoverable value for each branch independently, based on the fair value (level 3), less disposal costs. The basic assumption which was used in the calculation of the recoverable value of the aforementioned branches was that these branches would not generate economic benefits until their closure dates, and therefore, equipment and leasehold improvements regarding which the company believes that they cannot be sold or transferred to another branch, were fully depreciated, while the other assets were evaluated based on Shufersal’s expectation regarding the economic benefits which it will generate from them in its other branches. The recoverable value of the branches which are intended for closure is lower than their book value, and therefore, impairment loss was recognized with respect to fixed assets which are located in those branches.
|
|
The recoverable value of the reduced area in the owned branch was measured based on the fair value (level 3), less disposal costs, according to an assessment prepared by an external assessor.

In September 2015, under the shelf offering memorandum of September 2015, which was published under its shelf prospectus of June 2015, Shufersal issued debentures (Series F) (new) to the public, with a total par value of NIS 317 million, bearing annual interest at a rate of 4.3%, payable annually as from October 2016 up to October 2028. Debentures (Series F) are linked (principal and interest) and their original principal will be repaid in nine equal annual payments each year from 2020 to 2028. The total consideration received by Shufersal for the issuance of these debentures amounted to NIS 317 million. In respect of the issue of the new debentures, Shufersal undertook, under the deed of trust, to comply with financial and other covenants, including:
|
·
|
An interest rate adjustment mechanism due to change in the debenture rating: Maalot granted these debentures a rating of A. In the event of a change in the rating of the debentures, such that it will be one notch lower than Class A (or an equivalent rating), the annual interest ("the Base Interest") will be raised by a rate of 0.25%. If there is a further downgrade, the rate of the annual interest will increase by an additional 0.25% for each additional rating. In any case, the additional annual interest for the downgrade will not exceed 1% beyond the annual interest set when issuing the debentures. If the debentures are rated lower than -BBB (or an equivalent rating) and the rating is not upgraded within 60 days beyond the above level, this will be grounds to call for immediate repayment.
|
·
|
Right to early repayment: As from September 2016, Shufersal may, at its own initiative, call for early repayment of the debentures, in whole or in part.
|
Note 35 – Events Subsequent to the Date of the Statement of Financial Position (cont.)
|
·
|
Shufersal undertook to comply with the following financial covenants (Shufersal will be considered as being in breach of its undertakings below only if it fails to comply with the relevant financial covenant for two consecutive quarters):
|
a.
|
The ratio between Shufersal's net debt to total balance sheet at the end of each quarter, based on the information in its audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements, as the case may be, for the relevant quarter, will not exceed 60%. In this matter, "net debt" - the cumulative amount of the following items in the statement of financial position: Current maturities for long-term loans, current maturities for debentures, long-term liabilities to banks and other long-term liabilities for debentures; less - cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, and marketable securities.
|
b.
|
The total capital of Shufersal (including non-controlling interests) at the end of each quarter, based on the information in the audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements, as the case may be, for the relevant calendar quarter, will not be less than NIS 550 million.
|
·
|
Commitment not to create a floating charge: Shufersal has undertaken not to create a floating charge on all its assets in favor of any third party, without receiving approval in advance from the general meeting of debenture holders (Series F), by a special resolution.
|
·
|
Cross default: Grounds were established to call for immediate repayment of the debentures if another debt provided to Shufersal is called for immediate payment (which is not a debt to the holders of debentures of any series of Shufersal) by a bank or financial institution (including from an institution) (other than a non-recourse debt to Shufersal), provided that the total amount called for immediate payment exceeds NIS 300 million; or another series of debentures issued by Shufersal, and which are in circulation, was called for immediate repayment (not at the initiative of Shufersal).
|
·
|
Restrictions on the distribution of a dividend: Shufersal has undertaken not to distribute dividends to its shareholders and/or to buy back its shares and/or any other distribution, as defined in the Companies Law to the extent that:
|
§
|
The result of the distribution is that the total capital of Shufersal (including non-controlling interests), based on the consolidated financial statements, is less than NIS 750 million;
|
§
|
Following the distribution, the ratio between the net debt of Shufersal (as defined above), based on Shufersal's most recent audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements (as the case may be) preceding the distribution date, and its annual EBITDA, 36taking into account the distribution, exceeds 7.
|
§
|
On the date that the board of directors of Shufersal decides on a distribution, in accordance with the provisions of the law, Shufersal is in breach of any of its undertakings to comply with the financial covenants in the deed of trust or there are grounds to call for immediate repayment as established in the deed of trust.
|

In February 2016, the Board of Directors of Shufersal resolved to pay a dividend in a sum of NIS 100 million, which will be paid on April 4, 2016. Discount Investments’ share of the aforesaid dividend is NIS 53 million.
|

|
In this regard, "annual EBITDA" means the cumulative amount in a period of twelve months of Shufersal's operating income (before other income and expenses), plus depreciation and amortization, based on the information in Shufersal's reviewed or audited consolidated financial statements (as the case may be), for the last four quarters preceding the distribution date.

As at September 30, 2015 - according to the discounting of the forecasted operating cash flows of Adama as at the above date, discounted by Adama’s weighted cost of capital, less the net financial liabilities of Adama, and less the non-marketability component of the shares and the control premium with respect to them: $ 13.8 per Adama share. Based on the findings of the binomial model, it was estimated that the share transfer date (and alternatively, the repayment date of the loan) is approximately 0.45 years after the valuation date. The valuation of the underlying asset as at the above date did not take into account a possible transaction that is being evaluated in connection with Adama shares, as specified in Note 3.H.4.A. above, due to the fact that the negotiation process and the approval of the aforementioned evaluated transaction is expected to continue for several months, and there is uncertainty regarding whether they will mature into binding agreements, and regarding the exact structure and terms of such agreements.

In February 2015, Elron invested in Pocared Diagnostics Ltd. (Pocared), an Israeli company that is developing an advanced technological system to automatically and swiftly diagnose infectious diseases using an optical technology, and that was being held by Elron at the rate of 50.3% of its issued share capital and which was accounted for by the equity method, invested a sum of $4.5 million (out of a total investment of $5 million that Elron and other of its shareholders invested in Pocared.
