ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND OF FILING PERSON

 

The disclosure in Item 2 of the Schedule 14D-9 under the heading “(b) Tender Offer—Offer and Post Offer” is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph after the last paragraph of such section:

 

“On July 14, 2017, the Company announced the receipt of the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority. As a result of the receipt of the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling from the Israeli Tax Authority and the previously disclosed adoption of the Conversion Resolutions and the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Resolutions at the EGM, the Minimum Condition has now been automatically lowered to require that there have been validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not properly withdrawn a number of Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to the Expiration Time) that, together with the Shares then owned by Parent or its affiliates, represents at least 67% of the Company’s issued capital immediately prior to the Expiration Time.

 

In connection with the receipt of the Pre-Wired Asset Sale Ruling and the lowering of the Minimum Condition, Parent and the Company have agreed that Purchaser will extend the expiration of the Offer to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 28, 2017, unless the Offer is further extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 20, 2017.

 

On July 14, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the extension of the Offer. The full text of the press release is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K filed by the Company on July 14, 2017 and filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(J) hereto.

 

ITEM 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

The disclosure in Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 under the heading “Certain Shareholder Approvals Required in Connection with the Post-Offer Reorganization” is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the last sentence of the first paragraph of such section with the following sentences:
