EXPLANATORY NOTE

The board of directors of Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd. (the “Company”) approved, following the approval of the Company’s audit committee in accordance with the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relieves for Transactions with Interested Parties) of 2000 (the "Regulations"), the acceptance of a special grant from Kibbutz Sdot –Yam (the “Kibbutz”) by a waiver of lease payments due to the Kibbutz in the amount of NIS 1 million (the “Grant”).

The Grant was made in favor of the Company's employees (other than employees who are members of the Kibbutz, executive officers and directors), based on principles set by the Kibbutz for its distribution. The audit committee and the board of directors determined that the Grant complies with the terms of Section 1(2) of the Regulations as an extraordinary transaction solely for the benefit of the Company.

Under Section 1C of the Regulations, each shareholder that holds at least 1% of the Company's issued share capital or voting rights is entitled to object to the approval of the Grant; provided, however, that such objection has been submitted to the Company within 14 days as of the date of this announcement (i.e., by March 7, 2016). If such objection is received by the Company within such 14-day period, the Grant will require shareholders’ approval pursuant to Section 275 of the Israeli Companies Law 5759- 1999.
