THE MATTERS ON THE AGENDA

General Background

On October 31, 2013, the Company's general meeting of shareholders adopted a policy, which sets forth the principles of our office holders' compensation (the "Compensation Policy").
The Compensation Policy applies to office holders of the Company (as defined under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the "Companies Law")), who serve as the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer(s) ("CEO(s)") and other executives who are deemed office holders of the Company, as well as office holders of the Company's Israeli wholly owned subsidiaries, provided they report to the CEO ("Business Unit Managers").  The Compensation Policy also applies to the Company's directors, including with respect to other, non-directorship, services that they provide to the Company.

Therefore, following the approval of the Company's compensation committee and board of directors, the Company is proposing to revise the terms of service of the Company's President, Co-CEOs and Business Unit Manager, such that they shall conform to the principles of the Compensation Policy.

In addition, pursuant to the Companies Law, the terms of service or engagement of the Company's controlling shareholders and/or their relatives should be approved at least once every three years by the Company's compensation committee, board of directors and shareholders (by a special majority).  For this purpose, a "controlling shareholder" is a shareholder who holds twenty-five percent or more of the Company's voting rights if there is no other person who holds more than fifty percent of the Company's voting rights; and two or more persons who each have a personal interest in the approval of a transaction shall be considered to be joint holders.

Accordingly, the Company's controlling shareholder is Moked Ituran Ltd., which holds 26.93% of the Company's voting rights; and by virtue of a shareholders agreement among the shareholders of Moked Ituran Ltd., such shareholders may all be deemed controlling shareholders of the Company.  Consequently, Mr. Izzy Sheratzky is deemed a controlling shareholder of the Company, and Messrs. Yehuda Kahane and Avner Kurz may be deemed controlling shareholders of the Company, among others,
For a description of Moked Ituran Ltd.'s shareholders and the shareholders agreement among them, please see Item 6B of our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2012, under the caption "Shareholders Agreement and Articles of Association of Moked Ituran".

Therefore, this Meeting is asked to consider and approve the terms of service, which have been revised to conform to the principles of the Compensation Policy as noted above, of Mr. Izzy Sheratzky (the Company's President) and his sons - Messrs. Eyal Sheratzky and Nir Sheratzky (the Company's Co-CEOs), and Mr. Gil Sheratzky (the CEO of the Company's Israeli wholly owned subsidiary, E-Com Global Electronic Commerce Ltd.); and to consider and approve the terms of engagement of Mr. Yehuda Kahane and Mr. Avner Kurz.
Furthermore, this Meeting is asked to consider and approve the procurement of directors' and officers' insurance policies, the amendment of the Company's Articles of Association concerning insurance and indemnification of office holders and the amendment of the deeds of indemnity for office holders; all such matters being related to the terms of service of our office holders, including controlling shareholders and their relatives.

PROPOSAL EIGHT
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Background

In 2011, the Israeli Securities Law, 1968 and the Companies Law, among others, were amended to authorize the Israeli Securities Authority to impose administrative sanctions against public reporting companies and their office holders for certain violations of the Israeli Securities Law or the Companies Law.  These amendments prohibit the insurance and indemnification of office holders with respect to administrative sanction. However, provided a company sets forth appropriate provisions in its articles of association, insurance and indemnification are allowed with respect to expenses incurred in the administrative proceedings and with respect to payments charged to injured parties.

The proposed amendments to the Company's Articles of Association as set forth in Annex C hereof are meant to allow for insurance and indemnification of officer holders of the Company to the fullest extent allowed by the law.

The Proposed Resolution

Terms of Cash Incentives

The terms below apply to each of Messrs. Izzy Sheratzky, Eyal Sheratzky, Nir Sheratzky and Gil Sheratzky (the "Executive Offices Holders").
 
1.
"Target-based Cash Incentives" means a cash incentive awarded to the Executive Office Holders for the Company's achievement of the following Profit-Before-Tax targets in each calendar year following the effective date of the Agreements, in which the Minimum Threshold (as defined below) has been achieved:
 
Company's Profit-Before-Tax Targets
(in USD thousands)
Level of Incentive - As a Percentage of the Executive Office Holder's Annual Cost of Pay
24,001 - 27,500
20%

"Minimum Threshold" means, with respect to a particular calendar year, a minimum Company's Return on Equity (as defined below) of 15%, and a minimum Company's Profit-Before-Tax of USD 24 million.
 
"Return on Equity" means,  with respect to a particular calendar year, the ratio between the net income for such year and the average of the shareholders' equity at the beginning of such calendar year and at the end of each calendar quarter of such year; calculated in accordance with the Company's audited or reviewed consolidated financial statements for such year, as the case may be, after taking into account Executive Officers' compensation, but excluding adjustments of the value of assets and obligations to their fair value in accordance with accounting standards.
 
"Profit-Before-Tax" means, with respect to a particular calendar year, the Company's profit before tax for such year in accordance with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for such year, after taking into account Executive Officers' compensation, but excluding adjustments of the value of assets and obligations to their fair value in accordance with accounting standards.
 
"Executive Officers" means Office Holders of the Company ("Nosei Misra", as such term is defined in the Companies Law) who serve as the Company's President, Co-CEOs and other executives who are deemed Office Holders of the Company, as well as Office Holders of the Company's Israeli wholly owned subsidiaries, provided they report to the CEO.
 
 
17

 
 
"Cost of Pay" means, with respect to independent contractors – their invoice amount plus company car and related expenses; and with respect to employees - their base pay (i.e. fixed gross amount payable to the employee in return for his services, excluding expenses, benefits and bonuses) plus 40% thereof.
 
2.
Target-based Cash Incentives shall become payable upon the lapse of 30 days from the date of publication of the Company's audited annual financial statements (the "Entitlement Date"); and such cash incentive shall be paid on such date. However, if an Executive Office Holder's Target-based Cash Incentives exceed an amount equal to 100% of such Executive Office Holder's annual Cost of Pay (the "100% Threshold"), then 20% of the amount by which the Target-based Cash Incentives exceed the 100% Threshold (the "Deferred Portion") shall not be paid on their Entitlement Date, but rather shall be deferred and paid in two equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the Entitlement Date, provided that the Minimum Threshold was achieved during the first calendar year (for the first installment) and during the second calendar year (for the second installment) following the Entitlement Date, respectively. The Deferred Portion shall be linked to the consumer price index known on the Entitlement Date.
 
3.
The Company may pay to the Executive Office Holders advances on account of expected Target-based Cash Incentives, based on the Company's reviewed financial statements, prior to the Entitlement Date; provided that if on the Entitlement Date, it turns out that such advances exceed the Target-based Cash Incentives to which the Executive Office Holders are entitled, then the excess amounts shall be returned to the Company or shall be deducted from the payment of the remainder Target-based Cash Incentives on the Entitlement Date, as the case may be.
 
4.
"Excess Return Cash Incentives" means a cash grant based on the Company's Stock Yield as compared to the TA 100 Index's Yield, as set forth below.  In the event that the Company shall de-list from the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, then the Company's board of directors and compensation committee shall select a comparable NASDAQ index for the purpose of this Excess Return Cash Incentive and the provisions hereof shall apply with respect thereto mutatis mutandis.
 
"Company's Stock Yield" means the percentage of increase or decrease of the Company’s stock price on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange over an Examined Period (as defined below), as adjusted for dividend distribution, calculated based on the average adjusted closing price of the Company's shares on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange during the 5 business days prior to and the 5 business days after the commencement and end of such Examined Period.
 
"TA 100 Index's Yield" means the percentage of increase or decrease of the TA 100 Index over an Examined Period, calculated based on the average TA 100 Index closing quotes during the 5 business days prior to and the 5 business days after the commencement and end of such Examined Period.
 
At the end of each calendar year, the Company shall examine the Company's Stock Yield since January 1 of such year or, with respect to the first year of such grant – since the date of its approval (an "Examined Period"), as compared to the TA 100 Index's Yield over such Examined Period; and to the extent that the Company's Stock Yield exceeds the TA 100 Index's Yield for such period, each of the Executive Office Holders shall receive an amount equal to 50% of his monthly Cost of Pay for each 1% of excess return (in percentage points' terms), or a relative amount in the event of a partial excess return. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Company's Stock Yield during such period is negative, no grant shall be awarded.
 
The Excess Return Cash Incentive for each year shall not exceed an amount equal to the Executive Officer Holder's annual Cost of Pay.
 
5.
In the event that an Agreement is terminated during a calendar year, the Company's compensation committee and board of directors shall determine the relative amounts out of the Target-based Cash Incentives and/or Excess Return Cash Incentives to which the relevant Executive Office Holder is entitled for the portion of the year during which the Agreement was in force; and these amounts shall be paid within 30 days after the termination of service/employment, as the case may be.
 
 
18

 
 
6.
On the date of determination of each Executive Office Holder's entitlement for a Target-based Cash Incentive for a particular year, the Company's compensation committee shall examine whether the total amount of grants to which Executive Officers are entitled with respect to such calendar year and which constitute variable components of their terms of services (the "Total Amount of Grants to Executive Officers"), exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Company's EBITDA for such year (the "EBITDA's Threshold"), as calculated in accordance with data extracted from the Company's audited consolidated annual financial statements, after taking into account the Executive Officers' fixed compensation but excluding their variable compensation. In such event, the amount by which the Total Amount of Grants to Executive Officers exceeds the EBITDA's Threshold shall be referred to as the "Excess Amount".
 
In the event that the Total Amount of Grants to Executive Officers exceeds the EBITDA's Threshold, then the Target-based Cash Incentive and the Excess Return Cash Incentive to which an Executive Office Holder is entitled (together, the "Grants") shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Executive Office Holder's Rate of Grants (as defined below) out of the Excess Amount. The term "Executive Office Holder's Rate of Grants" means, with respect to a particular Executive Office Holder, the percentage which such Executive Office Holder's Grants constitute out of the Total Amount of Grants to Executive Officers.
 
7.
The Company's board of directors shall have the right, under special circumstances at its discretion, to reduce the amount of Grants to which the Executive Office Holders are entitled, upon a 60 days prior notice.
 
8.
The Executive Officer Holders shall be required to return any compensation paid to them on the basis of results included in financial statements that turned out to be erroneous and were subsequently restated in the Company's financial statements published during the three year period following publication of the erroneous financial statements; to the extent they would not have been entitled to the compensation actually received had it been determined based on the restated financial statements. In such case, compensation amounts will be returned within 60 days from the date of publication of the restated financial statements, net of taxes that were withheld thereon. If the Executive Office Holder has a right to reclaim such tax payments with respect to Grants which were paid in excess, from the relevant tax authorities, then the Executive Office Holder shall reasonably act to reclaim such amounts from the tax authorities and upon their receipt, shall remit them to the Company.
