Board Recommendation
Our board of directors unanimously
recommends that you vote "FOR" Proposals No. 1 and 2.
Only shareholders and ADS
holders at the close of business on June 30, 2021, shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting.
You can vote your ordinary
shares by attending the special meeting. If you do not plan to attend the special meeting, the method of voting will differ for shares
held as a record holder, shares held in "street name" (through a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, member) and shares underlying
ADSs that you hold. Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in "street name") will receive voting instruction
cards in order to instruct their banks, brokers or other nominees on how to vote.
Shareholders of Record
If you are a shareholder of
record, you can submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting an applicable proxy, which has been published at www.magna.isa.gov.il
and www.maya.tase.co.il and which will be accessible at the "Investor Information" portion of our website, as described
below under "Shareholder Meetings".
Shareholders Holding in
"Street Name," Through the TASE
If you hold ordinary shares
in "street name," that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee that is admitted as a member of the TASE, your shares will
only be voted if you provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee as to how to vote, or if you attend the special meeting
If voting by mail, you must
sign and date a proxy and attach to it a certificate signed by the TASE Clearing House member through which the shares are held, which
complies with the Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership for Voting in General Meetings)-2000 as proof of ownership of the shares,
as applicable, on the Record Date, and return the proxy, along with the proof of ownership certificate, to us, as described in the instructions
If you choose to attend the
special meeting (where ballots will be provided), you must bring the proof of ownership certificate from the TASE's Clearing House
member through which the shares are held, indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares, as applicable, on the Record Date.
Under the terms of the Deposit
Agreement between the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, or BNY Mellon, and the holders of our ADSs, BNY Mellon shall
endeavor (insofar as is practicable) to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions
provided by the holders of ADSs to BNY Mellon. For ADSs that are held in "street name", through a bank, broker or other nominee,
the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange
for BNY Mellon to vote the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holder's voting instructions.
If no instructions are received by BNY Mellon from any holder of ADSs (whether held directly by a beneficial holder or in "street
name") with respect to any of the shares represented by the ADSs on or before the date established by BNY Mellon for such purpose,
BNY Mellon shall not vote or attempt to vote the shares represented by such ADSs.
Multiple Record Holders
You may receive more than
one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this document or voting instruction cards. For example, shareholders who hold
ADSs in more than one brokerage account will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which ADSs are held.
You should complete, sign, date and return each voting instruction card you receive.
Our board of directors urges
you to vote your shares so that they will be counted at the special meeting or at any postponements or adjournments of the special meeting.
Shareholders and ADS holders
may vote at the special meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy is received by us at least 48 hours prior to
the special meeting (and received by BNY Mellon no later than the date indicated on the voting instruction card, in the case of ADS holders),
all of the shares represented by the proxy shall be voted as indicated on the form or, if no preference is noted, shall be voted in favor
of the matter described above, and in such manner as the holder of the proxy may determine with respect to any other business as may come
before the special meeting or any adjournment thereof. Shareholders and ADS holders may revoke their proxy at any time before the deadline
for receipt of powers of attorney by filing with us (in the case of holders of ordinary shares) or with BNY Mellon (in the case of holders
of ADSs), a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date.
Proxies are being distributed
to shareholders and ADS holders on or about June 23, 2021. Certain officers, directors, employees, and agents of ours, none of whom will
receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for
the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms
and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares and ADSs.
To the extent you would like
to submit a position statement with respect to the proposals described in this proxy statement pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999
("Israeli Companies Law"), you may do so by delivery of appropriate notice to our offices (Attention: Motti Farbstein, Chief
Financial Officer) located at 10 Bareket Street, Kiryat Matalon, PO Box 7537, Petach -Tikva 4951778, Israel, not later than ten days before
the special meeting. Response of the Board to the position statement may be submitted not later than five days before the Special Meeting.
