|

Record Date and Right to Vote
Only shareholders of record as of the close of trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 3, 2011 (“Record Date”) are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. You are also entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting if you held our ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee which was one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date.
A shareholder whose Ordinary Shares are registered in his, her or its favor with a member of a stock exchange and are included in the Ordinary Shares which are registered in the register of shareholders of the Company under the name of such member of a stock exchange, shall be required to prove ownership of such shares as of the Record Date, by providing the Company at least 72 hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting with an ownership certificate in the form attached hereto or other form satisfactory to the Company, issued by a member of a stock exchange, or a copy of the shareholder's Identification Card, passport or Incorporation Certificate, if such shareholder is registered in the register of shareholders of the Company.
Legal Quorum
Under the Articles of Association of the Company (“Articles”), no business may be transacted at any shareholders meeting, unless a quorum is present when the meeting begins. The quorum required for a meeting is at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy holding in the aggregate at least 33 1/3% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (“Quorum”) as of the Record Date for the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as explained below) are counted in determining if a quorum is present. If within half an hour from the time appointed for holding a meeting a Quorum is not present, the meeting shall be dissolved and it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week (or the business day following such day, if such day is not a business day) at the same time and place, and if at such adjourned meeting a Quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting, the shareholders then present at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum.
Under applicable regulations, a"broker non-vote" occurs on an item when a broker identified as the record holder of shares is not permitted by applicable rules, to vote on that item without instruction from the beneficial owner of the shares and no instruction has been received. We believe the proposal on the agenda of the meeting is "routine", and therefore, a broker may vote with respect to such proposal even if a beneficial shareholder did not instruct the broker how to vote with respect to the proposal. It should be noted that the proposal on the agenda may be determined not to be “routine” matters, in which case, a broker may not vote on such matter without instructions from the shareholder.
Proxy
You can vote your shares by attending the meeting or by completing and signing a proxy card. Attached is the proxy card for the meeting that is being solicited by our board of directors. Please follow the instructions on the proxy card.
We are mailing copies of this invitation and the proxy card to our shareholders of record on the Record Date, and we will solicit proxies primarily by mail and e-mail. The original solicitation of proxies by mail and e-mail may be further supplemented by solicitation by telephone, mail, e-mail and other means by certain of our officers, directors and employees, but they will not receive additional compensation for these services. We will bear the cost of external solicitors and of the solicitation of the proxy cards, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of our ordinary shares.
We will not be able to count a proxy card unless we receive it at our principal executive offices at Z.H.R. Industrial Zone, P.O. Box 32, Rosh-Pina, Israel, 12000, or our registrar and transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, receives it, in the enclosed envelope, by June 22, 2011 at 9:00 A.M. Israel time, which is June 22, 2011 at 2:00 A.M. Eastern standard time. If you sign and return the enclosed proxy card, your shares will be voted in favor of all of the proposed resolutions, whether or not you specifically indicate a “FOR” vote, unless you abstain or vote against a specific resolution. On all matters considered at the Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes (to the extent applicable) will be treated as neither a vote “FOR” nor “AGAINST” the matter, although they will be counted in determining if a quorum is present.
