THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018
NOTE 35:- AGREEMENTS, CLAIMS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND LABOR DISPUTES (continued)
b. Contingent Claims and Liabilities (continued)
198
6) Other financial demands: (continued)
d) Financial demands by fixed assets contractors: As of the date of the statement of financial position, the Company has received financial demands from various contractors, mainly with respect to disputes relating to construction of fixed assets, in amounts exceeding the amount of the provision included in the financial statements by approximately NIS 98 million. The management of the Company estimates that the provision adequately reflects the costs with respect to the said claims that it is more likely than not that they will be paid. During 2018, approximately NIS 28 million were paid with respect to monetary demands of fixed-asset contractors in the amount of approximately NIS 254 million.
7) Legal Proceedings on the Subject of GIS Arrays On December 29, 2013, the Company submitted a claim to the District Court of the Central District against foreign companies that supplied the company with GIS arrays (gas insulating voltage arrangements): Siemens AG (hereinafter: “Siemens”), ABB Ltd. (hereinafter: “ABB”), Alstom Societe Anonyme (hereinafter: “Alstom”), Alstom Grid AG and Alstom Grid SAS (hereinafter together: the “Defendants”). Regarding the application to approve a class action against the Company on this subject ("Application for Approval") see section 1) above. The claim is based on the determination of the General Director of the Israel Anti-Trust Authority of September 16, 2013, which exposed that the global cartel that was conducted in the GIS market between the years 1988 - 2004 was also implemented by the Defendants in Israel towards the Company, and that the acquisition proceedings conducted by the Company to purchase GIS during the active years of the cartel were coordinated in advance by the Defendant, who presented to the Company a fraudulent representation of competition between them. Within the claim, damages caused by the Defendant to the Company are being claimed, as well as the return of illegitimate profits extracted by the Defendant at its expense, within the framework of approximately 20 acquisition proceedings conducted by the Company during the active years of the cartel. The Company estimates that the damage caused it, as aforesaid, amount, as of the date of submission of the claim, to approximately NIS 3.8 billion. On March 26, 2015, the Supreme Court determined that the hearing of the claim should be partially consolidated with the hearing of the Application for Approval, for the purpose of deciding the liability of the Defendant. On December 24, 2018, the parties submitted to the Court an application for approval of a compromise arrangement. As part of the arrangement, it was agreed that the defendants will pay the Company a final and comprehensive sum of NIS 465 million. On February 2019, three objections to a compromise arrangement were submitted by various entities from among the public, and the Company submitted responses to these objections. On March 10, 2019, a lengthy hearing was held on the application for approval of the compromise arrangement and the objections submitted to it. During the hearing, the court clarified that for the purpose of examining the approval of the compromise arrangement, and as a precondition for doing so, it must know the net compromise amount that will be recognized by the Authority through the electricity rate. At the end of the hearing, the Court ruled that after receiving the positions of the Attorney General, the Competition Authority and the Electricity Authority (the current date for their submission is April 7, 2019), it will give instructions regarding the continuation of the proceedings in the case. The Company's legal advisors are of the opinion that as on the statement of financial position date, the likelihood that the compromise agreement will be approved in principle by the Court is higher than the likelihood that it will not be approved, despite the objections that were submitted. However, it is not possible to rule out the possibility that the Attorney General, the Competition Authority, and/or the Electricity Authority will have objections to the compromise agreement and/or that the Court will disagree with some of the provisions of the agreement, whether due to objections submitted to it, to the position of the Attorney General, the Competition Authority and the Electricity Authority (including with regard to the net compromise amount that will be recognized by it), or for other reasons. In accordance with the aforesaid, the Company did not record income and/or liability for a refund to customers as a result of the compromise agreement.

8) The Company’s claim regarding engagements with Siemens
On April 9, 2017, the Company submitted to the Central District Court an amended statement of claim against Dan Cohen, a former director of the Company, as well as against five former employees of the Company, all of whom were convicted, by their own admission, of taking a bribe from the Siemens AG Company and the Siemens Israel Ltd. Company. The claim was also submitted against additional entities, through which the bribe sums were paid to the recipients of the bribes. Within the claim, the Company is demanding to receive the sums of the bribes that were paid in practice to each of the recipients of the bribe, as well as additional sums intended to pay bribes even if not actually paid. The total claim amounts to approximately NIS 110 million. A pretrial was held on October 16, 2018, in which evidentiary hearings in the case were scheduled for May and June 2019. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, a mediation proceeding is being conducted between the Company and two of the defendants that served as middlemen for the bribery.
9) E.M.G
In August 2005, the Company entered an agreement with E.M.G. (the Company’s Egyptian supplier of natural gas) for the supply of natural gas. Additionally, the Company had signed a tripartite agreement with EMG and the gas owners, the national Egyptian companies EGAS and EGPC (hereinafter: “EGAS” and “EGPC”), under which the Egyptian companies have undertaken towards the Company to place the gas it has undertaken to supply to the Company at the disposal of EMG. Due to the continuing disruptions in the supply, the Company's Board of Directors decided in September 2011, that the Company will enter an international arbitration process versus the EGAS and EGPC gas supply companies and EMG, to receive compensation for the heavy damages incurred and that will be incurred by the Company by non-delivery of the gas from Egypt due to their breach of the agreements with the Company. The sum claimed by the Company was approximately USD 4.15 billion. The arbitration ended in the middle of 2014 and on December 4, 2015, the Company received the arbitration award, within which it was ruled, inter alia, that EGAS and EGPC breached their obligation in the tripartite agreement. The Egyptian companies were ordered to pay the Company approximately USD 1.76 billion plus interest and legal costs, which are estimated, as on December 31, 2018, at approximately USD 600 million. On February 11, 2016, the Company received an application to appeal the arbitration award that was granted, which was submitted by EGAS and EGPC to the Superior Court in Switzerland. On April 27, 2017, the Court rendered its decision, rejecting the appeal submitted by EGAS and EGPC, and determined that they must pay the court fees and indemnification to the Company with respect to the proceeding at court, in the amount of CHF 250,000.
The Company is acting to collect amounts to which it is entitled under the Arbitration Award, by examining a range of possible alternatives, some of which are prior to the date of this report, and which may include, inter alia, the use of various collection methods and/or agreement alternatives. Nevertheless, as of the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company is unable to estimate the chances of collection of the amount which was awarded in its favor as part of the arbitration, in whole or in part.

NOTE 35:- AGREEMENTS, CLAIMS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND LABOR DISPUTES (continued)
c. Labor disputes
200
1) Labor disputes relating to the advancement of the reform outline in the company –
On May 17, 2018, a collective agreement was signed, anchoring the consents reached in the area of labor relations following the expected reform in the electricity sector in general and the Company in particular, including the implications of the Structural Change and the efficiency plan in the Company on the employees, and the updating of the labor relations in the Company. On November 4, 2018, an amendment agreement was signed with regard to the collective agreement of May 17, 2018. Upon signing the agreement, all the contingent conditions for the entry into effect of the collective agreement, as set in it, were fulfilled. With the agreement’s entry into effect, all the declared labor disputes existing between the Histadrut and the Company were cancelled. On 8 July 2018, the “Ecclesiastes Forum” submitted a petition to the High Court of Justice against the Minister of Energy, the Government of Israel, the Government Companies Authority, the Electricity Authority and the Company against the Government's resolution of June 3, 2018 regarding the reform in the Company. On December 27, 2018, the Supreme Court rejected the petition.
2) Following the Company's intention to transfer the Head of the Human Resources Division to a personal contract
and recruit additional senior managers for employment by personal contract, in February 2017, the employees' union imposed sanctions among which, inter alia, the Company's recruitment center and training activities for employees intended to be employed in the Company's 103 call centers was discontinued. Following the sanctions, the Company applied to the Haifa Regional Labor Court for temporary remedies to prevent the sanctions. After consent was reached between the parties regarding the recruitment of the additional managers (excluding the Head of the Human Resources Division), the Regional Court ruled, accepting the Company's position regarding the employment of the Head of the Human Resources Division in a personal contract, and determined that in this context, the employees' representatives do not have the option to impose sanctions. This judgment was appealed by the employees' union to the National Court of Labor. A hearing of the appeal took place on May 3, 2017. On July 22, 2017, the National Court of Labor gave its decision regarding the inclusion of the issue of the transfer of the VP of Human Resources to a personal contract in the proceeding. The hearing of the consolidated proceedings was held on October 24, 2017. On May 31, 2018, the parties notified the court of the signing of the collective agreement of May 17, 2018, which arranges, inter alia, the employment of senior officers of the Company in personal contracts, so that when the agreement enters into force, the judicial decision will be redundant. On November 26, 2018, the proceedings were terminated at the parties’ request.
3) Following the advancement of work plans in the Customers Division for the unification of districts and outsourcing
of various matters, the employees' union implemented sanctions in the framework of which, inter alia, various works were disrupted in the Haifa District, in the Organization and Methods Division, in the Project Execution Division, and more. Furthermore, the employees’ union disrupted employees’ work-related trips abroad due to a dispute over the payment terms paid with respect to the trips. On March 20, 2017, the Company applied to the Haifa Regional Court of Labor for temporary relief to prevent the sanctions. Following the application, consent was reached under which the parties will hold discussions, the sanctions will be suspended, and the parties will update the Court regarding the results of the discussions. On March 31, 2019, the Company notified the Court that the parties are in advanced stages of formulating understandings in the remaining issues and will update the Court regarding the results of the talks by May 30, 2019.
THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018
NOTE 36:- SEGMENTAL REPORTING
a. General
201
The Company implements the International Financial Reporting Standard 8 (hereinafter: “IFRS 8”) as of January 1, 2009. 1) On January 8, 2018, the Electricity Authority published a resolution regarding the basis of electricity rates for the
transmission, distribution and supply segments, in which the Electricity Authority identified and measured each segment's costs and revenues separately for consumer services – supply, which mainly consist of the Company's billing, collection and service systems, including the preparation and production of invoices and billing expenses, installation, operation and meter reading, consumer services that include a customer call center, public reception and customer portfolio coordination. For additional information see Note 3e above. This activity was previously presented under the distribution segment.
2) Further to Note 1e2 above, as part of the Structural Change discussions, the system management operation will
be sold and/or transferred to a separate Government company. The activities of this segment were previously presented under the generation segment and the transmission segment.
As of the first quarter of 2018, the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (Company CEO) ("CODM") separately reviews the operating results of the system management and consumer services-supply segments down to the profit and loss level for the period. Consequently, the Company has presented two new segments as aforesaid.
Comparative figures were restated to reflect the change in the structure of the Company's reportable segments.
b. Detailed Reportable Operation Segments The operations of the Company are comprised of five main operational segments making up the entire electricity chain. These operations are:
Generation Segment - includes the operations at 17 sites of the electricity generating power stations.
Transmission Segment - includes the transmission and transformation system of the high and ultra-high long distance electricity.
System Management Segment – includes the operating and capital costs of the following services: supervision of unit loading, short-term and long-term planning of power generation, long-term planning of the transmission network, and electricity market statistics. In addition, this segment includes costs relating to the purchase of electricity from private producers of extra-high voltage, including producers of renewable energy at extra-high voltage, overload management arrangements and social rates.
Distribution Segment – includes the electricity grids system and the transformation stations which supply the electricity to the end consumers, except a limited number of customers that purchase extra-high voltage electricity directly from the transmission systems, as well as meter reading services (the cost of the meters and the reading of them) and costs and services related to communication with distribution consumers. In addition, this segment includes the costs of purchasing electricity from high voltage and low voltage private producers, including high-voltage and low-voltage renewable energy facilities.
Consumer services - supply segment – includes the customer service and collection system of the Company.
c. Income and Results according to Operational Segments Segmental revenues are calculated based on a price model that was used by the Electricity Authority to determine the electricity rates for the Company. Segment revenues are calculated by multiplying these rates by the sold quantity (kW/h) to the end consumer, while making the required adjustments based on the activities defined by the Company for each of the 5 segments: generation, transmission, system management, distribution and consumer services-supply. The revenues of the consumer services–supply segment for comparative periods were calculated based on the network segment electricity rate in effect in 2017. Segmental expenses that can be specifically identified are charged directly to the appropriate items. In addition, certain indirect expenses are recorded according to an allocation, which serves as a reasonable estimate for attributing these expenses, while adjusting to the electricity rate base. The CODM receives the operational results of each segment up to the profit or loss level for the period. The separation of income and expenses in comparative figures was made according to the aforementioned criteria.
THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018
NOTE 36:- SEGMENTAL REPORTING (continued)
c. Income and Results according to Operational Segments (continued)
202
The results of the Assets Arrangement, including the related tax effect, constitute non-recurring income that is not directly related to the segments of activity, and therefore was included as income not allocated to the operating segments. In addition, the results of the reform agreement and the movement in the regulatory asset in respect of the reform and the tax effect thereon are not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker by operating segments and accordingly were not allocated to the operating segments
For additional information, in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Authority, see Note 37 below.

NOTE 37:- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT
COMPANIES AUTHORITY REGARDING THE ATTRIBUTION OF THE STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS & COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ACCORDING TO ACTIVITY SEGMENTS: GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, DISTRIBUTION AND CONSUMER SERVICES-SUPPLY (SEE NOTE 3 d, e, k ABOVE) (Continued)
m. The principles used in attributing the statements of income are as follows:
217
1) General
a) The principles that the Electricity Authority used for determining the rate for the aforesaid activities
segments, were implemented in these statements of operations. b) Since the Company is one legal entity, complete separate entries are not actually recorded for the segments
of the electricity chain. The attribution of the expenses and income of the statement of operations to the level of the segments is performed as applicable, as will be described below. The statements of operations as they are presented in this note do not necessarily reflect the results of operations of the various segments if they had been managed as separate economic entities, as signified by generally accepted accounting principles.
c) As of the first quarter of 2018, the Company presents two new segments. d) The methodology used by the Company to distribute the income and expenses to the generation,
transmission, distribution, transmission, system management and consumer services-supply segments is based on the Electricity Authority's resolutions regarding a new cost base for network segments as of January 8, 2018, other than the attribution of revenues in respect of the "system management" segment and electricity purchases from private consumers. The attribution of these revenues differs from the price methodology of the Electricity Authority and is made by the Company in line with the principles of the department handling/responsible for each of the activities.
2) Below are the principles for attributing the revenues between the various segments
a) Revenues from the sale of electricity: The gross revenues for the segment are calculated based on the rate model that was used by the Electricity
Authority to determine the rates for the Company. In this model, the rate for each segment is calculated separately for every consumer. The final rate published by the Authority for every consumer is a scheme of rates that were calculated in
every segment. The revenues per segment are calculated by the product of the segment rate multiplied by the sales (kWh) for
the end consumer, while making the necessary adjustments in line with the activities defined by the Company for each of the 5 segments: generation, transmission, system management, distribution and consumer services-supply.
(1) Amount sold per segment
The amount sold by each segment is calculated based on data of the amount of sales to the end customers according to the type of the customer and rates according to load and time (hereinafter: "LTR").
(2) Rate for the segment The electricity rates that were determined by the Electricity Authority are divided into two categories:
(a) LTR - rate that varies according to the season of the year and the time of day, where it is split to
each of the segments of the electricity chain (5 types of consumers, 9 rates at an hourly level for each type of consumer).
(b) A uniform rate according to type of consumer that is supposed to reflect over an entire year, the LTR according to the expected level of demand by those paying that same rate during the various seasons and time of day (6 types of uniform rates).
The uniform rate, in accordance with the various types of consumers, is calculated for the various segments, in accordance with the model that was used by the Electricity Authority in determining the rates for the Company.

m. The principles used in attributing the statements of income are as follows: (continued)
218
2) Below are the principles for attributing the revenues between the various segments (continued)
a) Revenues from the sale of electricity: (continued)
(3) Calculation of the revenues for the electricity chain segments
The calculation of the revenue for the segment is calculated by multiplying the amount of sales calculated for each segment by the various types of consumers at the appropriate rates. The difference, which derives from the Company's actual revenue and the calculated revenue obtained, is distributed among the segments mainly based on the scope of their calculated revenue.
(4) In addition, in view of the matter discussed in section m2a3 above, revenues from usage fees are
calculated for substations and connections. These revenues are collected through the generation and distribution segment rates and transferred to the transmission segment for the usage fees for the segment's properties. Revenues from usage fees of substations and connections are calculated at a rate per kWh multiplied by the sales to the end consumer.
(5) Additionally, it is clarified that various adjustments are carried out for the revenues calculated in each
segment, such as: attribution of system-related costs and distribution of revenues from the purchase of electricity to the relevant segment, addition of the fixed component in the electricity bill, giving various discounts, decrease of revenues with respect to non-recognition of the revenues of the East Jerusalem Electricity Company and the Palestinian Authority etc.
b) Other revenues - are attributed to the appropriate segment, according to its nature.
3) Below are the principles for attributing the expenses to the various segments
The specifically identifiable expenses are charged directly to the appropriate items. Certain indirect expenses are recorded for those items according to distribution bases that, in the Company's assessment, constitute a reasonable estimate for the attribution of those expenses. a) Cost for operating the electricity system - in the Company's financial statements it reflects the operating
expenses for the generation, transmission, system management and distribution segments. Fuels costs are fully attributed to the generation segment. Costs with respect to the purchase of extra-high voltage electricity are attributed to the "system management" segment. Costs with respect to the purchase of high and low voltage electricity are attributed to the "distribution" segment.
b) Other revenues, net – Expenses with respect to the impairment of KARAT companies were attributed to
segments in accordance with the ratio of distribution of the expenses in the item of administrative and general expenses (see also section d below). Update of the Rogozin land value, pursuant to the appraiser’s assessment, was attributed to segments in accordance with the ratio of common property.
c) Selling and marketing expenses - include the expenses for services to consumers that are attributed to the
"distribution" segment and to the "consumer services-supply" segment.

accordance with the nature of the activities of the Company's various units, whose costs are attributed to general and administrative expenses; see the following details:
(1) The expenses of the General Administration, Finance and Economic Division (except for the Department
of Statistics, see section 6 below) and asset maintenance expenses - are presented according to the distribution ratio of the operating expenses in the electricity chain during the reported year.
(2) The expenses for the human resources department are presented according to the distribution ratio of
the operating expenses in the electricity chain during the reported year. (3) Doubtful accounts and bad debts - are presented according to the ratio of the gross revenues from

management" segment. (6) The Statistics Department's expenses - are fully attributed to the "system management" segment.
e) Expenses (income) from liabilities, to pensioners, net - These expenses (income) are presented according to
the distribution ratio of the salary expenses in the electricity chain during the reported year. f) Financial expenses (income), net - Primarily derive from the operated fixed assets and, therefore, they were
attributed according to the average ratio of the operated fixed assets, net, as presented in the Company’s books in the electricity chain during the reported year.
g) Income Taxes - The tax expenses attributed to the segments according to the rate of taxes on income from
profit (loss) before taxes on income at the Company level. The effect of the change in tax rate is attributed to segments according to the ratio of the fixed assets of each segment out of the fixed assets of the Company.
h) Movements and net balances in regulatory deferral accounts net balances after tax effect - movements and balances of regulatory deferral accounts are attributed to the segments in relation to the nature of the income or expense, in accordance with the guiding principles for determining the electricity rate in the segment. The division into stations in the generation segment and into districts in the transmission segment was executed according to the ratio of active fixed assets.

n. The principles used in attributing the aforesaid statement of financial position items are as follows:
220
1) The Company is one legal entity and, in effect, the Statement of Financial Position balances are not separated
according to the Company's activities segments in its accounts (except for direct fixed assets). Therefore, the Company reallocates the Balance Sheet balances for the purpose of this note, in every reporting year, based on allocation keys, as described below.
2) The Statement of Financial Position as presented in this note does not necessarily reflect the financial position of
the various segments, should they have been managed as separate economic entities, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
3) Below are the principles for attributing the statement of financial position balances to the various segments:
a) Working capital items The working capital items were attributed to the segments in accordance with those principles that the Electricity Authority used in determining the electricity rates (principally for the purpose of determining the coverage of the working capital's financial expenses) where the principal allocation keys are: Fuels inventories and balance for fuels suppliers - were fully attributed to the generation segment, divided between the units according to the fuel costs in practice. The trade receivables balance was allocated according to the distribution ratio for revenues. Trade payables and other items were allocated primarily according to the ratio of the operating expenses and salary for the segments.
b) Fixed assets Fixed assets that are specifically identifiable are included in the appropriate segment. Joint assets (about 3% of the entire assets) were distributed according to distribution keys that, in management's opinion, constitute a reasonable estimate for attributing these assets.
c) Other assets Other assets which can be specifically identified were included in the appropriate segments. Other assets which could not be specifically identified were allocated according to the ratio of active fixed assets.
d) Shareholders' equity and deferred taxes Shareholders' equity and deferred taxes were allocated according to the ratio of the active fixed assets, net.
e) Loans and debentures The loans and debentures were allocated to the segments in accordance with the other statement of financial position items, and principally according to the distribution ratio of fixed assets to segments, pursuant to the nature of the financing for the Company's assets under the rate principles.
f) Balances of regulatory deferral accounts The balances of regulatory deferral accounts were divided into segments in accordance with the rate division of these assets. The division into generation stations and Company districts was calculated according to the ratio of the active fixed assets. Balances of Regulatory deferral accounts results of the reform agreement cannot be specifically identified and therefore were not allocated to the Company's segments of activity.
g) The remaining statement of financial position items were distributed according to distribution keys that, in
the Company's estimation, constitute a reasonable estimate for attributing these items.

o. Information regarding the attribution of the income statement and statement of financial position according to 20
221
reporting units
1) General In addition to the aforesaid in section m.1 above, the Company was required to provide disclosure in the form of a note that is to include condensed statements of operations and a statement of financial position, in reference to 20 activities that are included in the five electricity chain segments, as follows:
Generation segment 11 generation sites: Rutenberg, Orot Rabin, Haifa, Reading, Eshkol,
Gezer, Hagit, Alon Tavor, Ramat Hovav, Zafit and the other gas turbines.
Transmission segment The electricity transmission and transformation system. System management segment Day-to-day management of the generation, transmission and
transformation systems. Distribution segment The Company's five districts: Northern, Haifa, Jerusalem, Dan,
Southern. Consumer services-supply segment Includes the Company's customer services and collection system. The 20 operations segments shall hereinafter be referred to as: "reporting units".
2) Below are the primary principles for attributing the revenue
The revenue at the level of the reporting unit is calculated by stages since presently there is no electricity rate at the reporting unit level, and the Authority's current rates, at the level of the electricity chain's segments, do not allow for their attribution to a level that is lower than the segment level. The revenue is calculated based on the following principles:
a) Calculation of the revenue from electricity at the level of the electricity chain segments, which is based
on the electricity rates and agrees with the total of all revenues from electricity at the total Company level.
b) Determination of the required revenues at the reporting unit level for each reporting year. Required revenue - coverage of the actual costs during the reported year (operating costs including fuel
and depreciation) neutralized by the various other revenue and expenses, and with the addition of normative financing costs of assets recorded in the books and the normative rate of return on capital.
The required revenues are structured based on the principal elements of the rules and principles that served the Electricity Authority for determining the electricity rate for the various segments.
c) The difference between the total required revenues for the reporting unit in the segment and the revenues of the appropriate segment was distributed among the reporting units according to the ratio of required revenue of the segment.
d) The revenues from electricity at the reporting unit level were not designated in order to estimate the revenues that will be obtained from the electricity if and when electricity rates are determined at the reporting unit level and, therefore, statements of operations according to the 20 reporting units do not necessarily reflect the results of their operations if they were managed as separate economic entities, as signified by generally accepted accounting principles.

o. Information regarding the attribution of the income statement and statement of financial position according to 20
222
reporting units (continued)
3) The principles for the attribution of expenses are as follows: The principles for attributing the expenses at the level of the reporting units agree with the principles that were applied in the reporting according to the five electricity chain segments (see section m above). Joint expenses for a segment (such as segment management) were attributed to the reporting units, generally on the basis of the direct operating costs for each reporting unit. Other expenses that are not allocated in the Company's books of account (such as general and administrative and financial expenses) were attributed to the reporting units in accordance with the loading bases used in the reporting according to the electricity chain segments.
4) Principles that were used in attributing the statement of financial position items according to 20 reporting
units According to that stated in section m1b above, the Company is one legal entity and, in effect, the statement of
financial position balances are not segregated in the Company's books according to the segments of the Company's activities. Therefore, the Company re-attributes the statement of financial position balances for the purpose of this note for each reported year based on allocation keys, as described above in section m, while providing additional details for the 20 reporting units.

AUTHORITY
a. For information about attributing the statement of profit and loss and comprehensive income according to the generation, transmission, distribution, system management and consumer supply services segments, see Note 37 above.
b. Disclosure about Reports on Internal Controls
223
According to Government Companies Regulations (additional report on actions taken and representations given to assure additional reports on the effectiveness of internal controls over the financial reporting) – 2007, all Government companies, including the Company, were obligated to attach to their annual and Interim Financial Statements an additional report of the actions taken in order to assure effectiveness of Internal controls over the Financial Reporting, including setting up an entire array of internal controls.
The Company established Administration, Control and Work, integrated a mechanized dedicated system and units and elected a consultant to assist in the implementation of the said regulations. The system allows documentation of risks and controls in any process, documentation of the performed tests and their results. The system also provides the ability to monitor faults corrections and to generate various control and administration reports, in order to enable the office holders signing the Financial Statements and the Report of the Board of Directors to declare in the additional report that the Financial Statements and the Report of the Board of Directors do not contain false representation of a material fact and that they properly reflect, in all material aspects, the financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the days and periods presented in the reports. . The Company established a procedure to verify: absence of weaknesses which may affect the correctness of the report, implementation of all disclosure controls enacted, including implementation of a methodical mechanism from managing and monitoring information gathering from position holders and statements of intermediate managers on the implementation of the disclosure controls in their spheres of responsibility and also applying suitable controls over amended work processes.
The Companies Authority required the Company to conduct audits according to the Government Companies Regulations (Additional Reports on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Statements) – 2007 and according to the Government Company Regulations (Additional Report on Actions Taken and Representations Given to Ensure the Correctness of the Financial Reports and the Board of Directors’ Report) – 2005, and according to the circular of the Companies Authority on the subject of risk management in Government companies, of June 11, 2009, and present disclosure of them in the notes to the financial statements on the internal controls over the financial reporting related to assets / liabilities / activities / trusts / projects and services managed through service providers assets / liabilities / activities / trusts / projects and services, as these are defined in SAS 70 (Statements on Auditing Standards 70). In the framework of the controls tested as listed above, also tested were controls relating to service providers' assets / liabilities / activities / trusts / projects and services, as these are defined in SAS 70.
The Companies Authority wished to ensure that within the framework of the chain of signings and backing the declarations carried out for the purpose of implementing the above stated regulations regarding SOX 302 and SOX 404 and the Government Companies Risk Management Circular, all the key advisors and other service providers relevant to the internal controls over the financial reporting in the Company in the stated spheres will provide a statement regarding the audits they executed and their findings with respect to the existence or non-existence of weaknesses or faults in accordance with the stated Regulations regarding SOX and the Risk Management Circular, SAS 70 including its amendments, including SSAE 16 (“Statements on Standards For Attestation Engagements 16”), as well as regarding the issue of conflict of interests, this in addition to the chain of signings and backing the declarations of those responsible for the processes, sub-processes and additional controls relevant to the internal controls over the financial reporting of the Company.
The position of the Company: SAS 70 deals with an opinion of an auditor on the reliability of the controls that exist in service bureaus. The key advisors and other service providers relevant to the internal controls over the financial reporting of the Company are experts and not service bureaus and therefore they are not included in SAS 70. For the purpose of relying on the work of the expert, the Company examines his professional qualifications, his professional authorization by an appropriate professional entity, his experience and reputation, and also carries out tests in order to verify the use he makes of the data, assumptions and the methods he uses, and examines the outcome of his work.
THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018
NOTE 38:- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT COMPANIES
AUTHORITY (continued) The Authority is not accepting the Company’s position and is of the opinion that in the absence of declarations as aforesaid, weaknesses or defects may exist according to the SOX Regulations and the Risk Management Circular or they will not be disclosed as required. So, for example, as stated in the non-implementation of the instructions of the Authority on execution of a risk survey in accordance with the Risk Management Circular. Moreover, under the SSAE 16 the interpretation included in the position of the Company is overly limited and the term “Service organization” is defined as: “An organization or segment of an organization that provides service to user entities, which are likely to be relevant to those user entities' internal controls over financial reporting". A similar definition is also included in the ISAE 3402 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3402).
c. On January 11, 2017, the Director of the Companies Authority instructed the Company’s auditor, in a letter with a copy sent to the Company, to execute a special audit under section 45 of the Government Companies Law, and to examine the Company's controls over the management of the tender proceedings and the Company's conduct with the various service providers, with an emphasis on the examination of procedures and their implementation as regards prevention of bribery, compliance, integrity, preventing conflicts of interest and violation of good governance. In his letter, the Director of the Authority noted that on August 30, 2016, the Tel Aviv District Attorney (Taxation and Economics) applied to the Companies Authority, pointing to the need to conduct an extensive and thorough examination in relation to the organizational culture that exists today in the Company with regard to the prevention of conflicts of interest with bodies associated with the company, especially with regard to preventing bribery.
d. Government Companies are required to ensure that a misleading item will not be included in the Financial Statements
and the accompanying information they submit, including information that might mislead a reasonable reader of the Financial Statements and their accompanying information.
e. The Company will provide proper disclosure in the Financial Statements of significant assets for which it believes there
is a material gap between their fair value and their carrying amount in the Financial Statements, which are not recorded at their full amounts in the Company's books, including on the basis of appraisals or evaluations performed, or insurance appraisals, if performed.
The Company does not have valuations of specific material assets under which the book value is lower than the fair value according to an appraiser’s assessment. The Company annually reviews signs of impairment of its assets according to IAS 36 and if needed performs a valuation of all its assets, which is attached as an annex to the financial statements. See also Note 2 ad 2 f above.
f. The Government Companies Authority required the Company to ascertain and provide disclosure, that the rights recorded in the financial statements related to liabilities with respect to employee-employer relations did not deviate from the current binding rights from aspects of Labor laws and that these liabilities were recorded accurately.
The Company's position is:
224
In the past, legal proceedings were conducted with respect to a number of salary components regarding which the Commissioner of Wages at the Ministry of Finance determined that he did not give his approval for them to be paid, and consents were reached in these matters, for details see Note 35b3 to the Financial Statements.
The Company tightened controls over salary and pension payments and established a procedure, approved by the Company's Board of Directors, on the subject of the manner of updating changes in employee rights and benefits. The Company estimates that these steps strengthened internal controls over financial reporting for subjects related to handling the employees’ wages rights section from now onwards. Regarding rights of wages deriving from the past, the Company received an opinion of its legal advisers, and in 2011 the Company applied to the Commissioner of Wages to receive his approval for validity of wage rights that had not yet received approval. The Commissioner of Wages stated that he cannot provide an approval as requested, and that he intends to conduct an examination of the salary components of the Company. Following the decision of the Commissioner of Wages regarding deviations in Company salaries in 2013, a legal proceeding was conducted regarding four salary components in the Company, following which a collective agreement was signed on December 11, 2016. The collective agreement determines, inter alia, repayment with respect to payment of the deviating components in the period beginning on the date of the Commissioner's decision and arrangement of the deviating components from August 1, 2016. A group of employees, the Company's engineers' union, and a group of pensioners filed claims to the Court of Labor regarding the collective agreement of December 11, 2016. As of the date of approval of the financial statements, the claim of the group of employees was rejected and the other two proceedings are being conducted at the District Court.
THE ISRAEL ELECTRIC CORPORATION LIMITED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018
NOTE 38:- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT COMPANIES
AUTHORITY (continued) g. On December 11, 2013, the Law to Promote Competition and Reduce Centralization - 2013 (the “Centralization Law”)
was published. Chapter B of the Centralization Law deals with weighing pan-economy centralization considerations and sectorial competition considerations when allocating rights. As part of the Centralization Law, a “Committee for Reducing Centralization” (hereinafter: the “Committee”) has been established, and its members are the General Director of the Competition Authority (as Chairman of the committee), the Director General of the Ministry of Finance acting as Head of the Economics Division (if the Minister of Finance appointed him as a member of the committee) and the Head of the National Economic Council acting pursuant to the Government’s decision or one of his deputies (if the Prime Minister appointed him as a member of the committee). The Centralization Law may have a significant impact on the Company dye to the determination of the Committee under the law that the Company is a “Centralized Entity” as is defined in the Centralization Law, due to it being a real significant corporation, under the definition appearing in section 4 of the law, and because its accumulated extent of activity in the field of essential infrastructure (as this term is defined in the Centralization Law) exceeds half of all the activity in that field. Defining the Company as a Centralized Entity may impact the Company as detailed below: 1) Allocating rights and renewing or extending rights given to the Company - according to the provisions of the
Centralization Law, every entity that is authorized to allocate a right, renew or extend it (a right means license, contract or significant holding as they are defined in the Centralization Law) in the field of essential infrastructure should weigh pan-economic centralization considerations when allocating the right. The regulator allocating the right is permitted not to allocate it to a Centralized Entity. If it wishes to allocate it to a Centralized Entity or to enable a Centralized Entity to participate in the process of allocation, it must first conduct consultation with the Committee for Reducing Centralization. Additionally, Part C of Chapter B of the Centralization Law requires the regulator to consider considerations of promoting sectorial competition when allocating certain rights. In addition, if the allocated right will be included in a list that will be published by the General Director of the Israel Competition Authority, he will have to consult with him before the allocation. Regarding Part C, the definition of “right” also includes, in addition to the aforesaid, a license in a field of activity which is not an essential infrastructure if the number of those operating in that field is naturally limited.
2) Expanding the operation of the Company to an additional field of essential infrastructure in a process pursuant to
the Government Companies Law - the Centralization Law requires the consideration of pan-economy centralization considerations when making a government decision which enables a Government company which is a Centralized Entity to operate in an additional field of essential infrastructure. Additionally, according to the Centralization Law, the Government Companies Authority has to consult with the Committee for Reducing Centralization prior to formulating its opinion for the Government in this matter.
Furthermore, as the Company is a Government company, the Centralization Law affects the Company as detailed below:
3) Allocating a right in essential infrastructure by the Company - according to the provisions of the Centralization

The perpetual debentures bore interest at a rate of 5% and 5.75% per annum, fully linked to the CPI. The principal amount of the perpetual debentures is not linked to the CPI. The perpetual debentures are secured by fixed charges on certain deposits of the Company, at a total nominal value of NIS 92 (Old Shekel 92,000), payable to the State of Israel. According to the terms of the perpetual debentures, they have priority only over non-guaranteed loans or loans guaranteed by a floating lien only in the amounts deposited in charged deposits. Commencing January 1, 2006, the classification of the perpetual debentures was changed to extended-term liability and the interest with respect to these perpetual debentures is charged as financing expenses in the statement of operations. For details, see Note 22 in the financial statements.
Pursuant to the assets’ arrangement agreement regarding the assets of the Electric Company dated January 3, 2018 (hereinafter: “the Arrangement Agreement”), it was determined that upon fulfillment of the conditions stipulated in the Arrangement Agreement, the Electric Company will be entitled to repay all the perpetual debentures in exchange for payment of NIS 15,467,138.59 which will constitute a full, final and absolute settlement of all of the Company's obligations under the perpetual debentures to the State. For details regarding agreements entered into by the Company relating to the assets arrangement see Note 1f to the Financial Statements.
In its financial statements as of December 31, 2018, the Company included the perpetual debentures at their nominal value of approximately NIS 15.5 million and accordingly, the difference between this sum and their revaluated nominal value, as was in its financial statements as of December 31, 2017, of approximately NIS 2.5 billion was attributed to the statement of profit and loss. Subsequent to the date of the statement of financial position, on January 17, 2019, after the suspending conditions as specified in the assets’ arrangement agreement were fulfilled, the Company repaid the perpetual debentures at their nominal value.

End Notes:
Note to question number 2: Since the authority to appoint directors of the Company is in the hands of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Energy, and following consultation with
26
the Appointment Review Committee, the Company on February 8, 2009 approached the Government Companies Authority to obtain their position and guidelines regarding the adoption of
provisions and regulations of the Company regarding the Independent Director, the rate of Directors and their terms in office. The Government Companies Authority’s position as of
February 24, 2009 is that the binding stipulating regulation is that a public government company requires the appointment of a certain number of independent directors, as defined in
Amendment No. 8 to the Companies Law may impose significant limitations on the appointment of directors of that company, due to the strict requirements which meet the "independent
director" regarding his relationship with the state and the entities it controls. On the other hand, the position of the Government Companies Authority does not deem that such a provision
will significantly improve the activity of the Company's directors and reinforce independent status, beyond current measures of protection in accordance with the provisions of the
Government Companies Law and the principles of administrative law. Therefore, the company adopted the provisions regarding the number of independent directors.
Note to question number 6: By virtue of section 27(b) of the Government Companies Law - 1975, invitation to meetings of the board of directors will also be delivered to the Government
Companies Authority, and it may send a representative to every meeting who will be allowed to participate in the meeting, and his standing will be as a director, but he will not be counted
as part of the quorum and he will not have a right to vote.
Note to question 7: The appointment of certain directors and termination according to the guidelines of the Government Companies law 1975. Furthermore, although the company
regulations contain instructions according to which the company is entitled to relieve a member of the board of directors of his duties at the end of his term in an extracurricular decision
considering that the State of Israel holds 99.85% of the Company’s share capital, effectively there is nothing in the guidelines that limits the possibilities of immediate removal of directors
from their position.
Note to question 19: Based on sections 27(b) and 29(b) of the Companies Law 1975, invitation to a meeting of the Audit Committee will be issued to the Authority of Government
Companies and the latter is entitled to send a representative to each of the meetings at Director status; however, he will not be considered of the legal quorum and will not have voting
rights.
Note to question 24: The Electric Company as a government company has no influence over the appointment and the remuneration of the external Auditor and these are decided upon by
the Authority for Government Companies, in accordance with Government Company regulations (appointing Accountants and their remuneration), 1994. Notwithstanding, the Committee
for Reviewing the Financial Statements held a discussion on March 16, 2015 that focused on the scope of engagement of the External Auditor.
Note to question 26: The Company's external auditor was invited to all meetings at which the financial statements were discussed and participated in practice in 9 out of 10 of them. In one
meeting in which the external auditor was unable to participate, a written review on behalf of the external auditor was read to the members of the Board of Directors.
Note to question 29: According to the provisions of the Companies Law, and since the Company is a government company, the conditions of the term in office and the employment
conditions of some of the members of the Compensation Committee are in accordance with the Government Companies Regulations (Rules of Compensation and Expenses for a Director
from the Public in Government Companies), 1994.
Note to question 31: See note to question 19 above.
Note to question 38: The Controlling shareholder established and owns two government companies, which were predicted to work in the electricity sector: The System Management
27
Company Ltd. is planned to receive all the Electric Company’s activity in the field of system management and pursuant to Government Resolution number 3859 of June 3, 2018, it is
expected to begin operating as a system management license owner, as it is defined in the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, in December 2019; , and new Power Generation Stations Israel
Ltd., the liquidation thereof under section 14 to the Government Companies Law, 1975, was decided in the Government's Resolution 2223 of December 29, 2016,

Dear Sir,
Re: Actuarial Liabilities for Employee Benefits as at December 31, 2018 in Accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 19 Employee Benefits
1. General
1.1 This report consists of the following sections and appendices:
1. General
2. Benefits included in the valuation
3. Methodology as well as actuarial and accounting principles underlying the
valuation
4. Data on which the valuation is based
5. Assumptions on which the valuation is based
6. Valuation changes in the current reporting year
7. Valuation results
8. Uncertainties and risks
Appendix A – Additional reports for disclosure in the financial statements
Appendix B – Presentation of expected benefit cash flows
Appendix C – Additional details regarding financial assumptions
Appendix D – Additional details regarding data
Appendix E – Valuation changes made prior to the current year (in addition to changes that
were made by the previous actuary)
Appendix F- Details regarding Benefits
1.2 We were asked by the Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. ("the Company") to prepare this
actuarial valuation of the Company's employee benefit liabilities for the purpose of financial
statement reporting in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 19
Employee Benefits ("IAS 19"). The valuation was requested by Mr. Avi Doitchman, Senior
Vice-President, Finance and Economics. Our engagement agreement was signed on May 26,
2016. We agree that this report be published with the Company's financial statements.
1.3 On May 26, 2016, the Company also granted us a letter of indemnity in respect of the services
that we are providing to the Company. Our position is that the letter of indemnity does not
create a presumption of dependence of the Company, since the granting of a letter of indemnity
and valuations of this kind are accepted practice and do not create a specific dependency on
the Company.
We will receive fees for this engagement and for other consulting services that we provide to
the Company, and this in no way changes our position regarding the absence of dependency
as stated. Likewise, we confirm that the fees we receive from the Company are not dependent
on the results of our work.
1.4 This valuation was performed solely for the purpose stated above and this report may not be
used, nor may conclusions be based upon it, for any other purpose such as determining the
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
level of contributions required for the funding of benefits, valuations of the net worth of the
Company, etc. The actuarial results appropriate for any other purpose may differ materially
from the results reported in this document.
1.5 This report is intended to present valuation results and to provide explanations regarding the
valuation. The report is prepared for the purpose of its inclusion in the Company's financial
statements.
1.6 The amounts reported herein were calculated in accordance with the Company's interpretation
of IAS 19 and its accounting policies regarding its implementation (see section 3 below). The
Company is solely responsible for any such interpretation and policies.
1.7 According to this valuation, there is a surplus of assets over liabilities in the pension plan.
Based on the Company's instructions, this surplus is presented as an asset of the Company in
whole. According to legal regulations of the Central Pension Fund for Employees of the Israel
Electric Corporation Ltd. ("the Fund"), under certain circumstances a surplus will be returned
to the Company, where the surplus is determined according to an actuarial valuation of the
Fund. The actuarial valuation of the Fund differs from the Company’s valuation presented in
this report, primarily due to different actuarial assumptions regarding discount rates.
According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Fund (as of December 31, 2018),
liabilities were higher than those calculated in this valuation, and there were no surplus assets.
1.8 In order to calculate the amounts presented in this report, we relied on information concerning
employee benefit terms and conditions (including constructive obligations) and on historical
and current employee data, as provided to us by the Company, that were not verified by us.
The Company bears full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the information
and data provided to us.
1.9 Valuation results are highly sensitive to actuarial assumptions. Actual demographic and
economic experience is likely to differ from the assumptions, and assumptions are likely to
change in future, which will affect the valuation of the liability for accrued benefits. Additional
information is provided in Section 8 below.
1.10 The valuation was performed by Mr. Alan Fefferman, a qualified actuary, and his actuarial
team at Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd. Mr. Fefferman has a B.Sc. in mathematics
(with Distinction) from the University of Alberta in Canada, an M.B.A. (Beta Gamma Sigma)
from the Booth School of Business of the University of Chicago in the United States, is a
Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) in the United States, and is a Fellow of the Israel
Association of Actuaries (FILAA). His approximately thirty four years of professional
experience include actuarial valuations of employee benefits similar to those of the Company,
actuarial valuations of pension plans, and the determination of actuarial methods and
assumptions for pension plans and insurance companies, in his various roles of valuation
actuary, peer reviewing or audit actuary, and regulatory actuary.
1.11 This report has been prepared in accordance with the following standards:
International Standard of Actuarial Practice 1 – General Actuarial Practice, approved
by Council of the International Actuarial Association on November 18, 2012;
International Standard of Actuarial Practice 3 – Actuarial Practice in Relation to IAS
19, adopted by Council of the International Actuarial Association on April 11, 2015.

2.2 The valuation relates to benefits in respect of permanent employees, pensioners (including
those who retired because of disability) and surviving spouses and orphans (for convenience

2.5 The valuation does not take into consideration the possible payment of other benefits or
increases to existing benefits at Company discretion, except for the allowance for early
retirements requiring Company approval that is based on assumed early retirement rates
(please see section 5.4 below).
3. Methodology and Actuarial and Accounting Principles
5
3.1 In accordance with IAS 19, liabilities were calculated using the projected unit credit method.
Under this method, the liability is calculated as the present value of projected payments to
employees and pensioners in respect of the relevant benefits based on the accrued rights of
employees and pensioners as of the valuation date (the "past obligation"). The calculation
projects each employee and pensioner's expected benefit payment amounts and dates, while
taking into account the projected salary growth rate, mortality, termination and disability rates
of employees and pensioners, as well as the labor agreements and the Company's benefit
payment policy.
3.2 The liabilities and additional disclosures in this report were calculated and presented in
accordance with the Company's accounting policy as detailed in sections 3.3-3.10 below.
3.3 Benefits are attributed to periods of employment, as follows:
Benefit Benefit Accrual Percentage as at
the Date of Valuation
Post-employment pension (including Based on the benefit formula in the pension plan,
disability pension) and social welfare including the pension percent per year of service and
activities the number of years of past service.

(including VAT) and holiday gifts service and age 40 (age 60 for Generation C
for pensioners, grossed up to cover employees). Until the age and service criteria are

According to the number of unutilized sick leave Grant for unutilized sick leave
days as of the valuation date.
Based on the number of years of past service, up to a Grant for disability retirement

Based on the ratio of accrued service to 20 years.
(There is no liability in respect of employees with 20-year grant

number of years of past service to the number of Supplementary severance pay for

Additional retirement pension Each part of the pension is accrued on a “straight (separation from employment for line” basis, from November 4, 2018 until the
reasons other than death, disability implementation date of a particular milestone (as
or early retirement under the defined in the collective bargaining agreement), or
special retirement program) until the date of statutory retirement if earlier.
53.4 For post-employment benefits , actuarial gains or losses are credited or charged directly to
owners' equity.
For employee benefits that are not post-employment benefits, actuarial gains or losses are
credited or charged to profit and loss.
3.5 Valuation results are presented in Appendix A on a nominal basis. Consequently, the interest
cost and the expected return on assets are calculated according to nominal interest rates at the
beginning of the year.
3.6 Current service cost is calculated in respect of benefits accrued during the reporting period
using the method described in section 3.3. For example, for the post-retirement pension
benefit:
until an employee reaches 35 years of service, the current service cost reflects the
incremental pension percent;
after an employee reaches 35 years of service, the current service cost reflects the
incremental grant.
After a benefit is accrued fully, the current service cost for that benefit is zero. The current
service cost for a calendar year is calculated once a year, based on the actuarial assumptions
in effect as at the end of the previous year. At the end of each calendar quarter, one-quarter of
the annual current service cost is charged to profit and loss. Any difference between the current
service cost charged to profit and loss, and the actual current service cost based on updated
actuarial assumptions and plan experience, constitutes an actuarial gain or loss.
3.7 The interest cost and expected return on plan assets, are based on a nominal annual interest
rate of 3.92%; that is, the uniform discount rate inherent in the defined benefit obligation as at
December 31, 2017.
3.8 The current service cost presented in this report has been reduced in respect of employees' 6contributions . That is, a net service cost is presented.
3.9 The value of assets presented in Appendix A was disclosed to me by the Company and was
not checked by me.
5 As the term is defined in IAS 19 6 Data regarding the sum of employees’ contributions was received from the company.
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
73.10 Termination benefits presented in Appendix A, are defined as payments to existing pensioners
until they reach the expected average age of retirement (as derived from actuarial assumptions
regarding the probability of retirement at each age). Actuarial gains or losses from termination
benefits are not included in those presented in appendix A, but are credited or charged to the
Company's profit and loss statement.
4. Data on which the Valuation is Based
8
The valuation is based on data that we received from the Company. We have not performed detailed
checks of the data nor have we compared them to the original data source. We have checked the
reasonability of the data in general and by comparison to the previous quarter's data. The primary data
that we received is described as follows (for additional details, please see Appendix D):
84.1 Employee and pensioner data – we received files on January 8, 2018 containing data for each
employee and pensioner entitled to their relevant benefits. The data includes information
regarding age, gender, pension or salary components, rank, service, etc. as at the valuation
date. In addition, these files include data for the average monthly value of the holiday gift
(grossed up to cover the cost of taxes).
94.2 We made the following adjustments to the data as per the Company's instructions :
4.2.1 Increase of salaries and pensions by 0.49% to cover the cost of social welfare
activities. This increase applies to all components of salary and pension, except
for convalescence pay, the Arava addition, home service, holiday gifts and
reductions in the cost of electricity.
4.2.2 We received a file from the Company, containing a list of employees who retired
soon before the date of the valuation, and whose status needed to be changed from
"employee" to "pensioner". The file also included their pension benefit amounts.
4.2.3 On December 11, 2016, a collective bargaining agreement was signed by the
Company. This agreement includes the “managerial increment” component and
the "global overtime" component of salary that employees and pensioners will be
entitled to. According to the company, the data we received as at December 31,
2018 contained components that were adjusted in accordance with paragraphs 35-
37 and 53-63 of the collective bargaining agreement.
4.2.4 Salary adjustments to senior employees of salary-grade 70, as per Company
instructions.
7 As the term is defined in IAS 19 8 There are possibly a few pensioners who may have died, and whose death has not yet been reported to the Company. Such a possibility
is not expressed in the actuarial valuation. 9 The manner and rates of adjustment, were stipulated in the Company's instructions, and were not determined or checked by us.

th thaddition, convalescence pay, 13 salary (one-twelfth of the annual amount), 14
salary (one-twelfth of the annual amount) and value of holiday gifts (grossed up for th thtax). The amounts of the 13 and 14 salaries were calculated by dividing the regular
salary by 12 in respect of all those qualifying based on service data.
** The generation C salary (for the purpose of calculating grants and severance pay)
include all the components to which the employee or pensioner is entitled, including thregular salary, 13 salary (one-twelfth of the annual amount) and grossed up value
thof holiday gifts. The amount of the 13 salary was calculated by dividing the regular
salary by 12.
*** The displayed salary for non-permanent employees who are employed under a
special agreement, is the salary eligible for severance pay only. (In the data file there
are two salary fields – regular salary and severance pay. The field that is used for
calculations is the severance pay.)

5. Actuarial Assumptions
11
The assumptions detailed below represent the Company's assumptions – the Company being the entity
authorized to set assumptions according to IAS 19. The financial assumptions (please see section 5.1
below) are based on generally accepted market data as published by an external party. The remaining
assumptions were set by the Company, partially with the advide of the previous actuary, and in my
opinion they are reasonable.
In the future, there may be changes to the assumptions, because of checks of demographic data regarding
employees and pensioners or of other relevant data, that are performed from time to time, and/or because
of the publication of new mortality or morbidity tables by the ministry of finance or other relevant body,
to the extent that it will be decided that such tables are relevant to the Company.
5.1 Financial assumptions
5.1.1 Inflation rate – the difference between the nominal spot interest rate (rate of return
on non-indexed, high quality government bonds) and the real spot interest rate
(rate of return on indexed, high quality government bonds). For the actuarial
valuation there is essentially no requirement for an explicit assumption for
inflation, since, according to the Company’s accounting policy, the interest
discount rate is set according to CPI-indexed bonds (please see below), and since
the assumed salary increases are mostly set in real terms. The rate of inflation is
relevant for calculating the erosion in value of pension payments and the
electricity discount, convalescence pay and holiday gift components of salary,
since they are all linked to CPI on a yearly basis (and not monthly). The future
rate of inflation that was derived for the purpose of evaluating the erosion in real
values, is based on a duration of 15.8 years, and stands at 1.6%.
An adjustment to pension amounts and to the electricity discount, convalescence
pay and holiday gift components of salary, is made in respect of the change in the
CPI index from the time of their last update until the date of valuation.
From a technical perspective, the cash flows that we calculated for the valuation
are the projected future payments of pensions and other benefits, without the
effect of future inflation. Therefore, the real discount rates described below (based
on the CPI-indexed corporate bonds) are appropriate for discounting the cash
flows.
5.1.2 Discount rates – on November 25, 2014, the Israel Securities Authority published
its position that in Israel there exists a deep market in high quality CPI-indexed
corporate bonds. According to the accounting policy of the Company, the
discount rates used in the valuation are taken from a yield curve based on market
data for high quality, CPI-indexed corporate bonds as at December 31, 2018, as
determined by Mervach Hogen Ltd. The use of these interest rates is required by
IAS 19, given the Company's opinion (which coincides with that of other Israeli
corporations) regarding the existence of a deep market in high quality corporate
bonds in Israel.
If plan assets yield lower real returns than the discount rates, based on their fair
value, the net liabilities (total liabilities minus the value of plan assets) will
increase, and vice versa.
See Appendix B for details of the projected benefit cash flows.
See Appendix C for information regarding the interest rates.
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
5.1.3 The interest cost and expected return on plan assets and trust assets for the 11reporting period were based on a yearly interest rate of 3.92% until 4/11/2018
and of 4.22% after that, as explained in paragraph 3.7 above.
5.2 Salary and Benefit Increases
12
The actuarial valuation was performed in accordance with IAS 19, which requires that
liabilities should be calculated based on existing labor and pension agreements on the
valuation date. Accordingly, the valuation took into consideration that salary components will
increase according to the framework of salary increases and increases in rank which is found
in the Company's existing labor agreements and policies (as described in Appendix F of this
report) and according to general salary and cost-of-living agreements (as described in
paragraph 5.2.1.1), without the possibility of creating new ranks or other changes to
employment terms and to the existing system of salary increases and increases in rank.
5.2.1 For employees covered by the defined benefit pension plan and for generation C
employees, it is assumed that future salary and benefit increases will be as
follows:
5.2.1.1 The annual increase in respect of general salary and cost-of-living
allowance agreements will be as follows:
In respect of the years 2013 - 2017: On December 11, 2016
the company signed a collective bargaining agreement which
gives the employees a cumulative increase of 7.25%. One-
half of the increase would be provided in the form of a
uniform shekel amount and the rest would be provided as a
percentage increase. According to the above agreement, the
cumulative uniform shekel increase will be 357.73 NIS a
month per employee and an additional cumulative percentage
increase of 3.625% in nominal terms.
In respect of the period starting in year 2018: the annual
salary increase will be at the rate of the annual increase in
CPI, less 0.3% (that is, a 0.3% per year erosion of real
values).
This assumption affects virtually all salary components, but does not
affect the electricity discount, holiday gifts and convalescence (it is
assumed that the Arava and home service components of salary will
be included in future salary agreements).
5.2.1.2 It is assumed that the average annual salary increase resulting from
promotions (including promotion to senior management rank) and
from changes in eligibility to new or increased salary components
related to the "managerial increment", master's degree, "shift work",
"home service", and additional salary grade at Eilat, will be at the
following annual rates:
11 The date that the collective bargaining agreement of May 17, 2018, went into effect.

57 – 62 0.20% 0.91%
Over 62 0.17% 0.76%
5.2.1.3 For employees who at the valuation date are not entitled to
continuing-education-payment A and/or continuing-education-
payment B, the annual rate of eligibility is as follows:
Eligible for Eligible for
Age payment A payment B
Until 40 7.8% 3.5%
40 – 50 3.5% 1.5%
50 – 60 1.1% 0.8%
Over 60 0.0% 0.4%
5.2.1.4 It is assumed that the ceiling for continuing-education-payment B for
employees at professional salary grade 44 and above will be linked
to salary and cost-of-living allowance agreements. As at the 12valuation date, the ceiling stands at NIS 1,050 .
5.2.1.5 According to labor agreements, the value of holiday gifts (grossed-
up for the cost of taxes) and convalescence pay will increase by the
actual rate of increase in the CPI, and that the update (for CPI) of
convalescence pay takes effect in June of each year, and the update
of holiday gifts takes effect in January of each year. The cost of
holiday gifts for pensioners is increased to cover the cost of taxes, at
a rate of 14.81% (at all ages), and for pensioners who retired before
statutory retirement age the cost is also grossed-up for National
Insurance tax at a rate of about 19.26%, until they reach statutory
retirement age.
5.2.1.6 The cost of the electricity discount is calculated according to the
electricity tariff for a domestic consumer at the valuation date (the 13fixed monthly fee before VAT is NIS 19.2 , fixed monthly KVA fee
before VAT is NIS 1.24 and the variable rate per kilowatt-hour before
VAT is NIS 0.4716) and according to the following, forward-looking
assumptions:
12 This amount was received from the company. 13 Weighted average of NIS 18.28 for a single-phase base meter, and NIS 19.43 for a triple-phase base meter.
Approximately 20% of employees/retirees use a single-phase base meter and 80% use a triple-phase base meter.
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
The change in the electricity discounts tariff (including VAT and
grossing-up for other taxes) is in accordance with the forecast that
we received from the Company, which is an approximation of
cost.
Towards the end of year 2016, we performed an experience study
of subsidized electricity consumption among Company
pensioners during the years 2006-2015. Actuarial assumptions
were updated based on the results of the study, including
assumptions regarding subsidized electricity consumption (in
terms of kilowatt-hours) that vary according to age and type of
pensioner: (a) old-age or disability pensioner, (b) recipients of
survivors’ pensions (widows and orphans). It is assumed that the
average level of electricity consumption for a pensioner at any
given age will remain constant:

5.2.1.7 It is assumed that there were no changes, and will not be any changes
in future, to each employee's level of full or part-time employment,
and that each employee's current level of full or part-time
employment applied in the past and will also apply in the future.
5.2.1.8 There is a group of employees who were entitled in the past to a "shift
work addition" to their salary, and who are classified as entitled to
this addition as part of their pensionable salary. It is assumed that
their pensions will be increased accordingly.
5.2.1.9 An update for pension amounts takes place in the month of January
each year, in accordance with the rate of annual change in the
Consumer Price Index (the ratio of the index for the most recent
month of December to the index for the previous December). In cases
when the change in CPI is negative, pension amounts are not revised
downwards. Instead, a future pension adjustment in respect of a
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
positive change in the CPI index will be implemented only after
offsetting the negative change in CPI that had accumulated since the
previous pension update.
5.2.2 In respect of non-permanent employees under special agreements, a real annual
salary growth of 2.0% is assumed, that covers both general salary increases as
well as individual employee salary increases.
5.3 Mortality and Disability rates
16
5.3.1 See Appendix E below regarding changes made in the past to mortality
assumptions.
5.3.2 Life Expectancy Improvements (Decline in Mortality Rates)
The mortality assumption is a significant assumption for the valuation of actuarial
liabilities. Life expectancy changes with changes in medical practice and
lifestyles. The actuarial assumptions take into account a continuing increase in
life expectancy for the future.
The base mortality rates detailed below are correct as at December 31, 2008. The
assumed rate of decline in mortality rates (leading to extended life expectancy)
after December 31, 2008, is according to Pension Circular 2013-3-1 on the subject
of "the Manner of Calculating Actuarial Balance Sheets and Annuitization
Factors for Pension Funds" published in 2013 by the Capital Markets, Insurance
and Savings Division of the Israeli Ministry of Finance (referred to below as ."Pension Circular 2013").
It should be emphasized that there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding future
changes in mortality rates, and that an alternative assumption may be just as
reasonable (please see section 8.4 below).
5.3.3 Pensioner mortality tables
In the year 2015, a study was made of mortality experience among employees and
pensioners of the Company during the years 1996-2015 (referred to below as "the
study"), with comparisons to the mortality tables published in Pension Circular
2013. On the basis of the study, the Company adopted the tables published in
Pension Circular 2013, with adjustments that take into account the mortality
experience of the Company. More weight was given to Company mortality
experience (and less weight to the tables of Pension Circular 2013) to the extent
that Company mortality experience was more credible statistically.
Regarding pensioners the mortality assumption is:
for males –table P3 of Pension Circular 2013, without adjustment
for females –table P3 of Pension Circular 2013, without adjustment
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
Below is a sample of the remaining life expectancies of pensioners, based on the
assumptions above, including assumed future improvements in life expectancy:
Age and Year Male Female
17
Age 67 at end of year 2010 19.52 21.94
Age 67 at end of year 2020 20.31 22.84
Age 67 at end of year 2030 20.93 23.53
5.3.4 Mortality Tables for Survivors
Based on the study described above, the mortality assumptions for survivors are:
for males – before age 60, according to table P2 of Pension Circular 2013,
reduced by 2%; starting at age 60, table P5 of Pension Circular 2013, reduced
by 2%.
for females – before age 55, according to table P1 of Pension Circular 2013;
starting at age 55, according to table P3 of Pension Circular 2013.
5.3.5 Mortality Tables for Active Employees
Based on the study described above, the mortality assumptions for employees are:
for males – according to table P1 of Pension Circular 2013, reduced by 22%.
for females – according to table P1 of Pension Circular 2013, reduced by
16%.
5.3.6 Mortality Tables for Disabled Employees
Based on the study described above, the mortality assumptions for disabled
employees are:
for males – before age 67, a mortality rate of 17% in the first year after
disability retirement, and 1.6% in each year thereafter; starting at age 67,
according to table P3 of Pension Circular 2013 increased by 21%.
for females – before age 67, a mortality rate of 17% in the first year after
disability retirement, and 1.6% in each year thereafter; starting at age 67,
according to table P3 of Pension Circular 2013 increased by 15%.
5.3.7 Disability Incidence
According to Table P8 of Pension Circular 2013.
5.3.8 Recovery from Disability
There are no assumed recoveries.

5.4 Retirement Age, Termination of Employment and Early Retirement
18
5.4.1 As stated in section 5, these assumptions were determined by the Company.
5.4.2 It is assumed that normal retirement will occur at the mandatory retirement age
of 67 for both men and women. Employees over age 67 are assumed to retire
immediately.
5.4.3 Termination of Employment (prior to normal retirement age), for Generation C
Employees:
At year-end 2016, we performed an experience study of withdrawal rates among
Generation C employees during the years 2013-2016. Actuarial assumptions were
updated based on the results of the study, including assumed rates of termination
of employment, both voluntary and involuntary, that vary according to age and
gender:
Rates of Voluntary Rates of Involuntary Termination
Termination (From age 60 and 10 years of service, with
(without benefit eligibility for all benefits relevant to Generation
entitlements) C. Under age 60, with eligibility only for
supplementary severance pay at the rate of

5.4.4 Terminations and Early Retirements (Prior to Normal Retirement Age), for
19
Employees Covered by the Defined Benefit Pension Plan:
It is assumed that there will be no employment terminations, except for early
retirement.
Rates of early retirement constitute an assumption regarding early retirements that
are not categorized as "termination benefits" under IAS 19. According to IAS 19,
it is not permitted to recognize in advance the cost of terminations from
employment, except under certain conditions. In practice, it is difficult to
distinguish between early retirements that must be categorized as “termination
benefits” and other early retirements, so that it is very difficult to set the actuarial
assumption. It is even more difficult to set the assumption because employees'
behavior regarding retirement is greatly affected by past special retirement
programs and anticipated future special retirement programs.
The early retirement assumption is based on Company experience during the
years 2002-2016, not including employees who retired under special early
retirement programs. Assumed rates of early retirement vary by age and sex, as
detailed in the two tables below:
Early Retirement Rates for
Employees Covered by the Defined Benefit Pension Plan
Age Female Male Age Female Male
Up to 40 0.0% 0.0% 53 0.2% 0.1%

51 0.1% 0.1% 65 4.4% 1.9%
52 0.1% 0.1% 66 7.3% 2.3%
On November 4, 2018, a collective bargaining agreement went into effect,
including a special retirement program under which 1,803 employees will
retire by the end of the year 2025. At the time of retirement, employees must 14be above age 55 and below age 64 in order to be eligible for the program.
Therefore, it is assumed that there will be no other early retirements between
ages 55-63, until the year 2026.
14 Younger ages are allowed under special circumstances.
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
5.4.5 Termination of Employment for Non-Permanent Employees Employed Under Special Agreements:
20
Assumed rates of termination with eligibility for the benefits included in this
valuation, by service, are detailed in the following table:
Service Rates of Involuntary Rates of Voluntary
Termination Termination
(eligible for benefits) (not eligible for benefits)
0 3.0% 0.0%
1 1.5% 0.0%
2+ 0.0% 0.0%
For non-permanent employees employed under special agreements, it is also
assumed that their employment will be terminated at the end of the maximum

5.6 Orphans
23
The assumed number of children and their ages are in accordance with table P11 of Pension
Circular 2017-3-6. As mentioned, this assumption was set by the Company.
5.7 Utilization of Sick Leave Days (for calculating the grant for unused sick leave)
15It is assumed that every employee's sick-leave utilization rate in the future will be equal to
his average utilization rate in the past. As mentioned, this assumption was set by the Company.
5.8 It is assumed that all non-permanent employees employed under special agreements will
receive increased severance pay.
5.9 Future Company expenses for the administration of the pension plan were not taken into
account.
5.10 Additional actuarial assumptions for the valuation of employee benefits arising from the
collective bargaining agreement of May 17, 2018:
Special retirement program - assumed distribution of employees who will retire in the
years 2019-2025, according to retirement year, age and service at the time of
retirement, employee generation (A, B or C), company division, etc.), in accordance
with detailed eligibility requirements in the collective bargaining agreement.
Special early retirement pension – assumed commencement date of agreement with
insurer, and assumed purchase price of life annuities.
Additional disability pension – assumed commencement date of agreement with
insurer, and assumed purchase price of disability annuities.
5.11 Below are a number of matters that were not given expression in the valuation. In my opinion
their impact overall would be immaterial:
pensions for future "dependent orphans" over the age of 21;
pensions for "dependent parents" of future deceased employees or pensioners;
increases in pensions to future orphans of both parents; th th the actual dates on which pensions are paid for 13 and 14 salaries (we assumed that
one-twelfth of the annual amount is paid monthly);
possible grant of electricity discount and holiday gifts to orphans (we assume that all
orphans have a parent receiving such benefits);
a few pensioners receive a temporarily reduced monthly pension in exchange for a
lump-sum amount that was paid in the past. The valuation does not reflect any such
temporary reduction;
additional severance pay or grants in respect of the difference between the salary
reported in the data file and minimum wage, to be paid to a small number of generation
C employees who retire or leave with salary lower than minimum wage;
the supplement to the disability pension in respect of dependents was not taken
into account for future disabled pensioners. On the other hand, for existing disabled
pensioners, no reduction in the supplement to the disability pension with respect to
dependents was taken into account (such a reduction would apply upon the future
death of dependents);
the liability in respect of the additional benefit for life insurance in the event of an
accident;
15 number of sick-leave-days actually taken, divided by the number of sick-leave-days to which the employee was entitled
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
the increased bereaved parent pension, in respect of active employees;
the following additional benefits for pensioners or survivors:
o bonuses upon marriage and the birth of a child (including grossed-up taxes);
o gifts for children of pensioners or survivors, who are serving in the Israel
Defense Forces (including grossed-up taxes);
o Company participation in the cost of a tombstone and a bouquet of flowers –
in cases of death as a result of a work accident;
o compensation in cases of death as a result of a work accident, to the amount
of 36 months of salary;
o meals partially subsidized by the Company at Company facilities – up to 10
meals per month;
o Higher Education grants for children of widows of employees who died while
working for the Company;
o an outing for widows of workers who died while working for the Company;
o discount from cost of connecting electricity to the pensioner's apartment as
well as transfer or increase of existing connection; and
o for a very small number of employees and pensioners, any possible effect of
"the Division of Pension Savings Among Separated Spouses Law".
6. Changes to the Valuation in the Current Reporting Year
24
For changes made prior to the current valuation, see Appendix E.
In the first quarter of 2018:
There was an update of the assumed tax rate by which pensioner benefits will be grossed-up, which
resulted in an increase in liabilities of approximately NIS 4 million.
In the fourth quarter of 2018:
On November 4, 2018, there went into effect the collective bargaining agreement of May 17, 2018.
The terms of the agreement resulted in an increase in liabilities of approximately NIS 3,901 million.
Updated assumptions regarding future electricity tariffs (as per Company expectations) and the
structure of the fixed monthly electricity fee, resulted in an increase in liabilities of approximately
NIS 17 million.
In the year of this report there were no additional changes to assumptions or to the rules according to
which the liability is calculated, except for changes to the discount rate and the changes detailed above.

7. Valuation Results
25
The values of liabilities (in million NIS) as at December 31, 2018, without offsetting the value of benefit
plan assets, are as follows:
7.1 The liabilities, for all the benefits included in this valuation, except for liabilities in respect of
special agreements for early retirement, for the "20 year grant", and for enhanced severance
pay for non-permanent employees covered under special agreements:
Active employees 16,853.1
Pensioners and survivors 15,078.1
Total 31,931.1
7.2 Liability in respect of special early retirement agreements:
Pensioners and survivors 361.1
7.3 Liability for the “20 year grant”:
Active employees 12.4
7.4 Liability for enhanced severance pay for non-permanent employees under special agreement
– in respect of the past:
Active employees 20.8
In Appendix A, additional information is provided for financial statement disclosure, as required by IAS
19.

8. Uncertainties and Risks
26
8.1 Due to the nature of the employee benefits and the long future period over which they will be
paid, the level of future payments is uncertain and there may be a material difference between
actual payments in the future and those assumed payments that underlie this valuation, despite
the efforts made to assess the benefits as accurately as possible. For this reason, the Company
is exposed to risk that the estimated liability does not properly represent future payments and,
consequently, that additional costs will be incurred in the future for accrued benefits that are
under-estimated or that additional revenues will be realized from accrued benefits that are
over-estimated. Below are the main drivers of uncertainty and risk, in our opinion.
8.2 Interest, Inflation and Investment Returns
Future fluctuations in the market interest rates that are used to value liabilities (market interest
rates are used to calculate the present value of forecasted future benefit payments) will change
the gross value of the liabilities. Higher or lower rates of return on plan assets, by comparison
to these interest rates, will lead to a decrease or increase in the net liabilities, respectively. At
times, the effect of changes in market interest rates may be offset to a certain extent by the
effect of changes in the rate of return on plan assets, depending on the level of matching
between assets and liabilities.
Sensitivity analysis:
a) If the discount rate should fall by 1%, the liability would increase by
approximately NIS 5,267 million (16.3%).
b) If the discount rate should fall by 0.1%, the liability would increase by
approximately NIS 474 million (1.5%).
c) If the discount rate should increase by 0.1%, the liability would decrease by
approximately NIS 463 million (-1.4%).
Actual changes in the rate of inflation, affect the value of the liability (indirectly due to the
connection between salary / pension and inflation) and the value of plan assets (due to index-
linked assets). The two effects may offset one another to a certain extent.
Anticipated changes in the future rate of inflation may affect the value of the liability and the
value of plan assets, depending on the effect of the anticipated change in inflation on current
market interest rates and on the current values of unlinked assets.
8.3 Future Salary Increases
Assumed general salary increases (in respect of salary and cost-of-living-allowance
agreements) have considerable effect on cash flow projections. The assumption (described in
section 5.2.1.1 above) is as follows: For the years 2013-2017: a cumulative increase of NIS 357.73 per month for each
employee, and a further nominal increase of 3.625%.
For each year starting in 2018: an annual salary increase equal to the rate of change in
CPI less 0.3%.
Alan Fefferman – Actuarial Services Ltd.
Sensitivity analysis:
a) If starting from December 31, 2018, actual general salary increases were higher
than what is assumed by 0.5% per year, then the liability would increase by
approximately NIS 534 million (1.6%).
b) If starting from December 31, 2018, actual general salary increases were lower
than what is assumed by 0.5% per year, then the liability would decrease by
approximately NIS 505 million (-1.6%).
27
8.4 Life Expectancy
Although mortality rates are relatively stable, and the mortality assumption corresponds with
current experience relatively well, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the level of
mortality that will emerge in the long-term future, owing to the fact that future changes in life
expectancy are very difficult to predict (and may differ significantly from the assumption
underlying the valuation). The rate of change in life expectancy is affected by behavioral and
social changes and by medical developments, both past and future, and any such future
changes or developments are themselves difficult to predict.
Sensitivity analysis:
a) If annual rates of change in mortality rates would be double the assumed rate
of change, then the life expectancy of a 67 year-old male at the end of 2020
(for example) would rise from 20.3 to 23.1 years, (and the life expectancy of a
67 year old woman would rise from 22.8 to 26.2 years) and the liabilities
would rise by approximately NIS 2,242 million (6.9%).
b) For comparison sake: if actual mortality rates would be 20% lower than
assumed, then the life expectancy of a 67 year-old male at the end of 2020
(for example) would rise from 20.3 to 22.0 years, (and the life expectancy of a
67 year-old woman would rise from 22.8 to 24.4 years) and the liabilities
would increase by approximately NIS 1,414 million (4.4%).
8.5 Early Retirement
As stated in paragraph 5.4.3 above, early retirement constitutes a significant but unstable
phenomenon, and setting the assumption regarding future rates of early retirement is highly
problematical. Early retirements have a significant effect on the level of benefit payments and
on the valuation of liabilities, because at the time of early retirement, the employee begins to
receive his full pension without any deferral or reduction that could offset the extra cost of
making pension payments in the years until normal retirement age.
Sensitivity analysis: in the event that actual early retirement rates are double the
assumed rates (see paragraph 5.4.3 above), then liabilities would increase by
approximately NIS 101 million (0.3%).

employees, insured in a pension out of the Company's budget, namely, permanent employees who began
to work at the Company before June 11, 1996 (employees insured in the budgetary pension arrangement).

of the employees (in a dedicated bank account that was opened for this purpose) with respect to each
pensioner (without survivors) who is entitled to budgetary pension only, an annual sum for the following
welfare activities:

The sum is paid once a year, in the month of December, and is transferred with respect to a pensioner who
receives pension in the month of December and has retired during that calendar year (will entitled to a
pension for the period in which he was a pensioner only), will be calculated proportional to the period in
which he is was a pensioner. It is clarified that only a pensioner entitled to a pension from the employer in
the month of December of every year will be considered for the purpose of calculating the total sum with
respect to that year. Therefore, a pensioner who is not entitled to a pension in the month of December as
stated (for example: a pensioner who has passed away during the year will not be taken into account as
entitled to receive any sum from the fund) will not be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the
total sum each year.
The objective of the fund is to act for the welfare of pensioners in the cultural, health, recreation and leisure
fields.
The fund is managed according to accounting measures from aspects of detailed audit and reporting of all
actions made by the fund and funds expended by the fund, respectively.

total amount is allocated to the welfare of pensioners entitled to budgetary pension, until the CPI
calculation increment, detailed in section 5 above under section “Pension Updating mechanism”, is fully
financed.

will be frozen upon the transition to a personal contract, and his pension rights for the period of his
employment by personal contract will be insured in a cumulative pension.
The outline includes an increase in the determining salary for each actual year of employment by
personal contract at the rate of 2%, plus the rate of change in the CPI in that year, for a period of up to 7

In the event of dismissal of the transferring employee before he reaches mandatory retirement age, the
employee will be entitled to a “bridge pension” and grants as follows:
1. “Bridge” pensions
From the date of the employee’s dismissal until the age of mandatory retirement, the employee will be
paid a “bridge” pension (hereinafter: the Bridging Period), which will be calculated in the following
manner:
1.1 A weighted average of the determining salary for a budgetary pension as aforesaid will be
calculated and the total salary of the employee will be the weighted average starting from the
ratio of 25:75 (the determining salary for the budgetary pension: total salary) and will
increase by 5% on each year of employment by personal contract, up to a ratio of 50:50 at
most. For example: an employee who will be dismissed after 4 years of employment by
personal contract, his determining salary for pension will be calculated according to 55% of
his pension salary in accordance with section 15 and 45% of his total salary. It is clarified
that the ratio of 50:50 can be reached only after 5 years of employment by personal contract
and not earlier.
1.2 The actual pension will be the multiplication of the percentage of the employee's accrual for
pension by the weighted average calculated in the section above.
1.3 The “Bridge” pensions will be paid by the Company. Notwithstanding that stated in
subsection 1.1, regarding an employee who, on the day of transition to a personal contract,
has been employed for at least three years as Deputy Head of Section and above, the weighted
average will start at a ratio of 30:70 (Determining Salary for a Budgetary Pension: total
salary) and will increase by 5% on each year of employment by personal contract, up to a
ratio of 50:50 at most.
1.4 Pension provisions during the bridging period – provision for pension will be carried out
during the bridging period according to the following mechanism:
1.5 During the bridging period, a provision will be made on the basis of NIS 15,000 or on the
basis of the difference between the employee's pension during the period of the “Bridge”
pensions and his pension in the budgetary pension as of the date of retirement, whichever is
higher.
1.6 If the employee is dismissed up to 7 years from the date of the transition to the personal
contract, a provision of 100% of the employee's pension will be carried out with respect to
the first year only during the bridging period, according to the rates customary for employees
insured in a cumulative pension fund.

Appendix F – Details of Benefits
2.1 The ceiling of the grant will be calculated on the day of transition to the personal contract as
the difference between the mandatory retirement age (67 years) and the employee's age prior
to the transition, multiplied by the total salary in the personal contract, but in any event not
more than NIS 1 million. For example: an employee who will be transferred to employment
by a personal contract at the age of 57 and was dismissed will be entitled on the day of the
transition to a grant of 10 salaries.
2.2 Severance grant will be calculated in a downward route from the date of transition, and for
each year of employment by personal contract the grant will be decreased, over 7 years, up
to a value of 3-month acclimation at least (accordingly, under the above example, the grant
will be decreased each year by one salary, so that after seven years of employment by
personal contract, the grant will be 3 salaries).
2.3 It is clarified that the employee will not be entitled to a severance grant as aforesaid in the
event of circumstances for which, if he had not transitioned to personal contract, he would
have been denied severance pay in accordance with the provisions of sections 16 or 17 of the
