Reason for which reporting was delayed:

The report on the Transaction was delayed in accordance with Regulation 36 (b) of the Israel Securities' Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, due to Cloudyn's assessment, based on information provided to it by the Acquirer, that publication of the report prior to the signing of the definitive agreement could prevent the signing of the definitive agreement and the consummation of the Transaction.

On June 29, 2017, at 15:00. the impediment was removed due to the signing of the definitive agreement.
