to re-appoint Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer (a member of Ernst & Young Global)

to fix the remuneration of the auditors in accordance with the volume and nature

The proposal requesting the approval of the grant of share options to Dr. Orna Berry,
an outside director of the Company, was not approved by shareholders at the annual
general meeting. Following the meeting, Dr. Orna Berry has agreed to serve as an
outside director without obtaining share options. Subject to the provisions of the
Companies Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder, in light of Dr. Berry's
re-appointment as an outside director of the Company, Dr. Berry will receive the
compensation previously approved by the 2006 annual general meeting. In a related
matter, Dr. Menahem Gutterman, the Company's other outside director, has also agreed
to forfeit options going forward in order to bring in line the compensation of both
outside directors, as required by Israeli law.
