Item 1

Update regarding Neot Hovav and the Magnesium plant

In connection with the Company's notes offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as published by the Company today, and pursuant to pages 13-14 of the F-1 registration statement for the listing of the Company’s shares on the NYSE dated September 23, 2014, and to note 6 of the Company’s financial statements dated September 30, 2014, the Company wishes to update as follows:

 
1.
Pursuant to the instruction of the Company’s Board of Directors to develop and implement an efficiency plan designed to improve the profitability of the subsidiary, Bromine Compounds Ltd., on November 16, 2014, the Bromine Compounds' management gave notice to 144 employees of their inclusion in a list of candidates for potential employment termination on the basis of efficiency and  cost reduction plans. Concurrently, the employees’ union has begun implementing sanctions in the Bromine Compounds' plants in Neot Hovav and there is a possibility of deterioration in employment relations, including the possibility of strike in such plants.
 
 
2.
Pursuant to the resolution of the Social-Economic Cabinet of the Israeli government dated November 10, 2014, whereby the “Natural Resources Tax” bill memorandum shall express the Cabinet’s resolution according to which “a special mechanism shall be established to ensure that the Committee’s recommendations shall not directly or indirectly affect the feasibility of the continued existence of the magnesium plant”, the Company’s management will consider recommending to the Board to revisit its resolution regarding the continued operation of the magnesium plant after January 2017, insofar as the practical expression of the Cabinet’s resolution in legislation does not harm the contribution and value of the synergy deriving from the operation of the magnesium plant. As of the date of this Report, the Board resolution dated August 27, 2014 remains in effect.
