PROPOSAL 2

ELECTION OF EXTERNAL DIRECTORS

 

The Companies Law requires Israeli companies with shares that have been offered to the public in or outside of Israel to appoint two external directors. No person may be appointed as an external director if the person is a relative of the controlling shareholder, or if such person or the person’s relative, partner, employer or any entity under the person’s control, has or had, on or within the two years preceding the date of the person’s appointment, to serve as external director, any affiliation with the company, with the controlling shareholder, or at the date of appointment to a relative of the controlling shareholder or to Another Corporation, and in respect of a company in which there is no controlling shareholder or a shareholder holding a controlling block – also an affiliation, at the date of appointment, to the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, a substantial shareholder or the most senior financial officer. The term “affiliation” includes:

 

9

 

 

·an employment relationship;

 

·a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis;

 

·control of the company; and

 

·service as an office holder.

 

The term “Another Corporation” means a corporation in which the controlling shareholder, at the date of appointment or during two years preceding the appointment, is the company or its controlling shareholder.

 

No person may serve as an external director if the person’s position or other business activities create, or may create, a conflict of interest with the person’s responsibilities as an external director or may otherwise interfere with the person’s ability to serve as an external director. Additionally, no person may serve as an external director if the person, the person’s relative, spouse, employer or any entity controlling or controlled by the person, has a business or professional relationship with someone with whom affiliation is prohibited, even if such relationship is not maintained on a regular basis, except negligible relationships, or if such person received from the company any compensation as an external director in excess of what is permitted by the Israeli Companies Law.

 

The initial term of an external director is three years and may be extended for additional two terms of three years each. External directors may be removed only by the same percentage of Shareholders as is required for their election, or by a court, and then, only if the external directors cease to meet the statutory qualifications for their appointment or if they violate their duty of loyalty to the company. Each committee of a company’s board of directors must include at least one external director and all external directors must be members of the company’s audit committee.

 

Subject to the Shareholders' approval, the external directors shall be entitled to receive indemnification letters in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

 

A copy of each of Mr. Arieh Ben-Yosef and Mr. Ofer Wolf declarations of meeting the requirements of the Companies Law to serve as an external director may be viewed at the offices of the Company.

 

Our Board of Directors recommends electing Mr. Arieh Ben-Yosef and Mr. Ofer Wolf as external directors of the Company. Certain information concerning Mr. Arieh Ben-Yosef and Mr. Ofer Wolf appears below.

PROPOSAL ‎6

 

APPROVAL OF ENTERING INTO A MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH D.B.S.I. INVESTMENTS LTD., THE COMPANY'S CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER

 

On May 27, 2014 the Shareholders of the Company approved the Company entering into a Management Services Agreement with DBSI, pursuant to which DBSI provided the Company with management services with respect to the Company's business as agreed upon by the parties from time to time, including, among others, provisions of directors services, consulting services, conducting negotiations with the banks and review of potential mergers and acquisitions. In consideration for such management services the Company paid to DBSI an aggregate annual management fee in the amount of $180,000, which was paid in equal quarterly installments of $45,000 each. The Management Services Agreement is to expire on July 31, 2017. Pursuant to the proposed resolution, the Company wishes to enter into a new Management Services Agreement, under similar terms to the Management Services Agreement entered into on May 27, 2014. The new Management Services Agreement shall be effective as of August 1, 2017. A copy of the Management Services Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

15

 

 

In accordance with the Companies Law, an extraordinary transaction between a company and its controlling shareholder, such as the Management Services Agreement between the Company and DBSI, is limited for a period of three years and will thereafter automatically terminate on July 31, 2020, unless reapproved by the Shareholders.

 

The Audit Committee appointed an independent consultant (the "Consultant") to conduct a comparison between the consideration paid under the Management Services Agreement, including with respect of provision of the position of active chairman of the Board of Directors, and other companies in the market with similar market cap and which are active in similar fields of business. The Consultant determined that the consideration paid under the Management Services Agreement is within the average range paid by such companies.

 

Based on the Consultant's findings, on April 27, 2017 the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to approve the entering into the Management Services Agreement with DBSI for a period of three years, commencing on August 1, 2017, based, inter alia, on the following:

 

·The level of familiarity of DBSI with the Company's business, customers and strategy is unique and therefore provides the Board of Directors and its committees meaningful assistance in its decision making process.
·The contribution of DBSI's and the office holders related to DBSI to the Company.
·The Company's need to preserve the services provided by DBSI.
·The fair consideration under the Management Services Agreement.

 

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL PRESENT THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION AT THE MEETING AND RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE FOR SUCH RESOLUTION:
