Proposed Director Appointment

Mr Arie Schor, aged 62, has extensive experience in leading substantial manufacturing-based businesses with international sales and operations. From 2009 to 2016, he was CEO of Tnuva Group, the largest food manufacturer and distributor in Israel, which owns multiple food brands and had sales of NIS 6.6 billion in 2015. Mr Schor joined Tnuva from Hogla-Kimberly (now known as Kimberly-Clark Israel), which was the largest non-food consumer company in Israel with manufacturing facilities in Israel and Turkey. Prior to this, he spent six years as CEO of Caniel Industries A.T.G., a leading provider of metal packaging for food and beverage industries. Mr Schor currently serves as the chairman of the board of directors of Tadbik Ltd., an international packaging business, chairman of the business cooperative of Kibbutz Afikim and as an independent director at Paz Oil Company Ltd., the largest oil & gas company in Israel and which is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Mr Schor will serve as a statutory external director of the Company, as required under Israeli law (the "Law"), for a three-year period commencing on 1 April 2018. He will be replacing Mr Simon Olswang who will be finishing his third three-year tenure as an external director on 31 March 2018 and has to retire from the Board of Directors under the provisions of the Law.

Other than set out below, there are no other matters required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph (g) of Schedule Two to the AIM Rules for Companies as regards Mr Schor's appointment. Mr Schor does not hold any shares in the Company.
