The second agenda item for the meeting— ratification of the appointment of Somekh Chaikin— has been approved by the audit committee of the Company's Board of Directors and by the Board, and is being brought before the shareholders for approval pursuant to requirements under the Israeli Companies Law.

At the annual meeting, the Company will also discuss its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

We are currently not aware of any other matters that will come before the meeting. If any other matters are presented properly at the meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously recommends that the Company's shareholders vote in favor of each of the proposals.
