The presence of two or more shareholders in person or by proxy representing not less than 25% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.  Under the Company’s Articles of Association, if a quorum is not present within one-half hour of the commencement time of the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned automatically until one week thereafter at the same time and place, or at any other time and place as the Directors may designate and state in a notice to the shareholders.  If, within one-half hour after the adjourned Meeting is reconvened, a quorum of two or more shareholders representing at least 25% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote is not present, then the Meeting shall be held with any number of participants who may discuss all the matters for which the first meeting was convened.
 
Proxies will be solicited primarily by mail; however, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefore, may solicit proxies by telephone, fax or other personal contact.  Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage firms, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians holding Ordinary Shares in their names for others to send proxy materials to and obtain proxies from the beneficial owners of such Ordinary Shares.  The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
APPROVAL OF CERTAIN TERMS OF THE TERMINATION AGREEMENT FOR THE MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENTS BETWEEN COMPANIES CONTROLLED BY MESSRS. ZWI WILLIGER AND JOSEPH WILLIGER AND THE COMPANY
 
At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to approve certain terms in the termination agreement, dated November 12, 2015, between the Company and companies controlled by each of Mr. Zwi Williger, who currently serves as Company's Co-Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Joseph Williger (brother of Mr. Zwi Williger), who currently serves as a director and the Company's President (collectively, the “Williger Management Companies”), with the purpose of terminating of the Management Services Agreements (as defined below) (the "Termination Agreement").
 
The Termination Agreement will become effective upon shareholder approval of certain of its terms. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, within 180 days of the execution of the Termination Agreement (i.e., May 11, 2016), each of the Management Services Agreements will terminate. The Termination Agreement is set forth on Appendix A attached to this Proxy Statement.
 
Background
 
On June 1, 1998, the Company entered into Management Services Agreements with the Williger Management Companies, pursuant to which Messrs. Joseph and Zwi Williger were to provide management services on behalf of the Williger Management Companies to the Company and to its subsidiary, Gold Frost Ltd. (the “Management Services Agreements”). These agreements were subsequently amended in August 2005, February 2006, March 2008 and August 2011.
 
The Management Services Agreements, as amended, were for a period of five years commencing on July 20, 2005.  Under the terms of the Management Services Agreements, each of the parties could terminate the agreement at any time, and for any reason, by prior written notice, which was to be delivered to the other party as follows:
 
 
·
The Company could terminate the agreement at any time, and for any reason, by prior written notice of at least 18 months.
 
 
·
Each Williger Management Company could terminate its agreement at any time, by prior written notice of at least 180 days.
 
In addition, under the terms of the agreements, if a Williger Management Company terminated its applicable Management Services Agreement, such Williger Management Company was entitled to receive the management fees for a period of six (6) months, beginning after the aforementioned required notice period, whether or not it continued to provide the Company with management services during such six-month period.
 
Each of the Management Services Agreements provided for monthly service fees equal to USD 24,500 (excluding VAT) and an annual bonus at a rate of 3% of the Company’s pre-tax annual profits, if such profits were equal to or less than NIS 3.0 million, or at a rate of 5% if such profits exceeded such level (the "Annual Bonus").  The Management Services Agreements provided that benefits in general, including the social benefits of Messrs. Joseph or Zwi Williger, and income tax payments, national insurance payments and other payments due to employees in respect of their employment, were to be paid for at the sole expense of the Williger Management Companies. The Management Services Agreements further provided the Williger Management Companies with vehicles for the use of Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger, and full reimbursement (of an unlimited sum) of expenses incurred by Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger while providing management services to the Company.
 
The Williger Management Companies undertook to indemnify the Company with respect to any claims against the Company relating to employer/employee relations. In addition, each of the Management Services Agreements included confidentiality and non-competition provisions for the duration of the Management Services Period.

On March 13, 2008 the General Meeting of Shareholders, following the unanimous approval of the Audit Committee and the Board dated January 2, 2008, approved the amendment of the Management Services Agreements as follows:
 
 
(a)
The monthly service fees according to the Management Services Agreements ceased to be linked to the US Dollar and were to be converted into NIS 102,900 (excluding VAT) linked to changes in the Israeli consumer price index that was known at January 2008.
 
 
(b)
The terms of the Management Services Agreements were extended indefinitely, subject to clause (c) below; provided however that in the event the Williger Management Company provides the management services to the Company without the presence of Messrs. Zwi Williger or Joseph Williger, as the case may be, and/or in the case of the death and/or permanent disability of Messrs. Zwi Williger or Joseph Williger, the Company would be entitled to terminate the Management Services Agreement immediately.
 
 
(c)
Each of the parties to the Management Services Agreements could terminate the agreement at any time, and for any reason, by prior written notice which was to be delivered to the other party as follows:
 
 
·
The Company could terminate the agreement at any time, and for any reason, by prior written notice of at least 36 months.
 
 
·
The Williger Management Company could terminate the agreement at any time, by prior written notice of at least 180 days.
 
 
(d)
If a Williger Management Company was to terminate the Management Services Agreement, the Williger Management Company would be entitled to receive the management fees for a period of twelve (12) months, which would begin after the prior notice period, whether or not it provided the Company with any management services during such twelve-month period.
 
 
(e)
In addition, the Management Services Agreements contained provisions entitling each of Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger to 30 vacation days per year, during which days the applicable Williger Management Company would not provide management services to the Company. Unused vacation days could be accumulated and paid for in lieu of taking such days as vacation.
 
On October 6, 2011, the General Meeting of the Shareholders approved the extension of the Management Services Agreements described above, for three years, from September 15, 2011 until September 14, 2014, following an amendment of the Management Services Agreements to (A) provide that Mr. Zwi Williger would serve as active Chairman of the Board and no longer serve as Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Joseph Williger would serve as President of the Company and no longer serve as Chief Executive Officer and (B) reduce from 36 months to 18 months the prior notice that the Company must provide to a Williger Management Company in the event that the Company wishes to terminate the Management Service Agreement.
 
On August 21, 2014, the General Meeting of the Shareholders approved the extension of the Management Services Agreements described above, for three years, from August 21, 2014 until August 20, 2017.

The Companies Law requires that the terms of office and employment of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") be approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee, the Board and then by a special majority of the shareholders of the Company. The terms of office and employment must also be in accordance with the Company's Compensation Policy.

Below is a summary of Mr. Admon's background and qualifications:
 
Ilan Admon, age 65, has served as the Chairman of the board of directors of Nachshonit Ltd., a water and attraction park in Kibbutz Nachsonim, Israel since April 2012. Mr. Admon also serves as a member of the board of directors of Levinstein Properties Ltd., a construction and real estate company traded on the TASE, Termokir Industries Ltd., a manufacturer of grouts, adhesives, and plasters, and Plastnir Ltd., a manufacturer of flexible plastic packaging.

Mr. Admon earned an MBA from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
 
The decision of the Compensation Committee and the Board to approve the terms of office and employment of Mr. Admon as the interim CEO was based on the following reasons:
 
 
 1.
The Terms of Office and Employment of Mr. Admon as the interim CEO of the Company are fair and reasonable, among other things, with regard to the scope of the Company’s operations and the complexity of the role and reflect his level of education, abilities, and professional experience, in the field of operations of the Company.

 3.
The proposed remuneration terms of Mr. Admon are acceptable market rates for CEO's filling similar roles in companies comparable to the Company. It is particularly important to consider that the appointment of Mr. Admon as interim CEO for a period of 30 days until the commencement of the role of the new CEO, allows for a smooth transition while preserving the Company’s operations during this period of transition.

Following the approval by the Company's Compensation Committee and the Board, it is proposed to approve the terms of office and employment of Mr. Admon with respect to Mr. Admon's service as the interim CEO of the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 6
APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES TO THE COMPENSATION POLICY FOR THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
On November 28, 2013 the General Meeting of Shareholders approved the Compensation Policy for a term of three years. A convenience English translation of the Compensation Policy may be found in Exhibit B to the following link: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1030997/000117891313002995/zk1313793.htm
 
At the Meeting, the shareholders will be asked to adopt changes to the Compensation Policy which will become effective upon shareholder approval. The changes are proposed to be made to the Compensation Policy in order to allow the Company to compensate directors other than external and independent directors for annual salaries and meeting participation fees and to allow for the same compensation principles currently applicable to the Company's Chairman and President to apply to the new CEO (see proposal no. 7) and the deputy Chairman (see proposal no. 8). The proposed changes to the Compensation Policy are set forth on Appendix B attached to this Proxy Statement (the "Updated Compensation Policy").
 
The decision of the Compensation Committee and the Board to adopt changes to the Compensation Policy was based on the following reasons:
 
 
 1.
The existing Compensation Policy is based, among other things, on the previous management structure of the Company, under which Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger, the founders of the Company, managed as Chairman and President, the core business of the Company and the activities of Mr. Gil Hochboim.
 
 
 2.
On November 2015 the Williger Management Companies, Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger signed the Termination Agreement, which is subject to the approval of the General Meeting of the Company by way of special majority, pursuant to which their Management Services Agreements will reach the end of their term no later than May 2016, and they are expected to leave the management of the Company no later than this period.
 
 
 3.
Together with the termination of the Management Services Agreements, as said, there is a need to appoint a CEO. The new CEO will fulfill the roles of both Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger, and of Mr. Gil Hochboim (as CEO) and will effectively run the core operations of the Company, a role that until now was fulfilled by the roles of President and Chairman. As a corollary of such, the role of the new CEO of the Company, including his authorities and areas of responsibility, will be much greater than that of the previous CEO in the said circumstances.
 
 
 4.
In light of the above, a new CEO was appointed (in place of Mr. Gil Hochboim as CEO), who will, in effect, be performing the tasks of both Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger, and that of Mr. Gil Hochboim. Additionally, the following officers were appointed over the Company: CFO and interim CEO.
 
 
 5.
Additionally, in light of these changes, there is a need to appoint an officer, who understands,  among other things, the food industry and is able to assist both the Company CEO and Company chairman. Therefore the Company appointed an Active Deputy Chairman
 
 
 6.
In light of the changes that occurred in the management structure of the Company at the time of the approval of the Compensation Policy in November 2013, the Compensation Committee and the Board  has resolved that it is necessary to reflect said changes to match management's needs in the Compensation Policy, such that the terms of employment of the Company's CEO, interim CEO and Deputy Chairman will be similar to those of the Chairman and President.
 
 
10

 
 
 
 7.
Similarly, in light of the changes in the Board, the members of the Compensation Committee and the Board believe that when considering the state of the Company, the complexity of its operations and scope of its business, and the responsibility of the Company directors, it is necessary to effect changes in the Compensation Policy, particularly with regards to director compensation, in such a way that the directors (excluding external directors and independent directors), will also be entitled to compensation that is appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances, as is acceptable in public companies.
 
It is proposed that at the Meeting, the following resolution be adopted:
 
“RESOLVED, to approve the changes to the Compensation Policy and to extend the policy for a term of three years from approval by this Meeting.”
 
The approval of Proposal 6 requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Company’s shareholders holding Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that such majority includes: (i) at least a majority of the shares of the voting shareholders who are not controlling shareholders of the Company and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (in counting the total votes of such shareholders, abstentions shall not be taken into account) or (ii) the total number of votes against the proposal among the shareholders mentioned in paragraph (i) does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting power in the Company.
 
Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, the Companies Law enables the Board to approve the Updated Compensation Policy despite the objection of the shareholders provided that the Compensation Committee and the Board determine that it is for the benefit of the Company, following additional discussions and supported by detailed arguments.
 
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors recommend that the shareholders vote for proposal No. 6.

Below is a summary of Mr. Greiver's background and qualifications:
 
Iram Greiver, age 49, has served since April 2015 as Manager of Business Development for Ness TSG, a company specializing in integration of command-and-control solutions for a wide-range of military and civilian defense, telecommunication and homeland security applications. From December 2013 to March 2015, Mr. Greiver served as Vice President of Supply Chain Management and Operations for the Company.

 2.
The Terms of Office and Employment of Mr. Greiver are on acceptable market terms for Chief Executive Officers of companies comparable to the Company.
 
 
 3.
Although the Terms of Office and Employment of Mr. Greiver are relatively higher than the terms of office and employment of the former CEO of the Company (not only is the new CEO replacing the former CEO, but also is also assuming the primary responsibilities of the President and Chairman), they are proper and reasonable and are not greater than the terms of the Chairman and President of the Company – that of the Williger brothers who managed the core business operations of the Company, and that, subject to shareholder approval of the Termination Agreement Terms to be Approved by Shareholders, Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger are expected to leave the management of the Company in the near future and Mr. Greiver will be handling various tasks previously performed by Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger in their capacity as President and Chairman of the Company; accordingly, it should be compared to those standards.
 
 
 4.
Since Mr. Greiver will fulfill the roles of Messrs. Zwi Williger and Joseph Williger and that of the CEO, in effect, Mr. Greiver will perform the roles of three people (after the termination of their roles in the Company).

The approval of Proposal 7 requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Company’s shareholders holding Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, provided that such majority includes: (i) at least a majority of the shares of the voting shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the proposal (in counting the total votes of such shareholders, abstentions shall not be taken into account) or (ii) the total number of votes against the proposal among the shareholders mentioned in paragraph (i) does not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting power in the Company.
 
Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, the Companies Law enables the Board to approve the Terms of Office and Employment of Mr. Greiver despite the objection of the shareholders, provided that the Compensation Committee and the Board approve of the Terms of Office and Employment of Mr. Greiver, following additional discussions and supported by detailed arguments, including consideration of, inter alia, the opposition of the general assembly.

The decision of the Compensation Committee and the Board to approved the Terms of Service of Mr. Admon was based on the following reasons:
 
 
 1.
The Terms of Service of Mr. Admon, in the position of Active Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, reflect his level of education, abilities, and professional experience, in the field of operations of the Company, and are on acceptable market terms for similar positions in comparable companies, and the scope of work is consistent with the terms of employment of the incoming CEO as well as the Updated Compensation Policy, subject to the approval of the General Meeting, as detailed in Item 6 above
 
 
 2.
The Terms of Service of Mr. Admon are fair and reasonable considering the scope of operations of the Company, the scope of work of Mr. Admon and the complexity of his role.
 
Further, at the time Mr. Admon begins the positions of Interim CEO and Active Deputy Chairman, as the case may be, Mr. Admon will not be entitled to directors remuneration and participation fees, as set by the Company’s Updated Compensation Policy, subject to its approval as detailed in item 6 above. Following the approval by the Company's Compensation Committee and the Board and subject to the approval of the Updated Compensation Policy by the shareholders as described in proposal 6, it is proposed to approve the Terms of Service of Mr. Admon with respect to Mr. Admon's service as an Active Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted:
 
"RESOLVED, subject to shareholders approval of the Updated Compensation Policy as described in proposal 6, to approve the Terms of Service of Mr. Admon, the incoming Active Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company."
 
The approval of Proposal 8 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s shareholders holding Ordinary Shares present, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter.
 
Under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions, the Companies Law enables the Board to approve the Terms of Service of Mr. Admon despite the objection of the shareholders, provided that the Compensation Committee and the Board approve of the Terms of Service of Mr. Admon, following additional discussions and supported by detailed arguments, including consideration of, inter alia, the opposition of the general assembly.
 
The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors recommend that the shareholders vote for proposal No. 8.

1.            The Objective of the Document

The objective of this document is to define and describe the Company’s officer compensation policy as required in Amendment 20 to the Companies Law – 1999 (hereinafter: “Amendment 20” and “the Companies Law”, respectively).

It is emphasized that this policy does not grant rights to the Company’s officer, and the adoption of this compensation policy in itself does not grant the right to any officer of the Company to receive any of the compensation components described in the compensation policy. The compensation components that the officer will be entitled to receive will be only those that are specifically approved for the officer by the Company’s authorized bodies, subject to the provisions of any applicable law.

If an officer should receive compensation that is less than the compensation provided in this policy, it will not be considered a deviation or exception from this policy, and the officer’s terms of employment as aforesaid shall not require the approval of the general shareholders’ meeting that is required for approving terms of service and employment that deviate from the compensation policy.

The compensation policy will apply to compensation approved as of the date of adoption of the policy by the Company’s general shareholders’ meeting. The masculine form is used in this policy for convenience purposes only and it refers to both women and men equally.

2.            Background

According to the requirements of Amendment 20, on November 28, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed a Compensation committee, whose members are the Company’s two external directors and an independent director whose terms of service are identical to those of the Company’s external directors. The compensation committee is headed by an external director.

3.            The Objective of the Compensation Policy

The purpose of the proposed compensation policy is to help in achieving the goals and work plans of the Company, including for the long term, by:

 
3.1
Creating a reasonable and appropriate set of incentives for the Company’s officers while taking into consideration, inter alia, the Company’s characteristics, business activity, risk management policy and work relations.
 
 
3.2
Providing the tools necessary for recruiting, motivating and retaining talented and skilled officers in the Company, who will be able to contribute to the Company and maximize its profits in the long term.
 
 
3.3
Putting an emphasis on performance based compensation, and tying the officers to the Company and its performance, by matching the officers’ compensation to their contribution to achieving the Company’s goals and maximizing its profits, from a long-term point of view and according to their position.
 
 
3.4
Creating proper balance between the various compensation components (such as fixed versus variable components and short-term versus long-term).

The combination of the various compensation components described in this document is intended to create a balance and appropriate ratio between the fixed compensation and the variable compensation so as to create a performance based compensation system that promotes the Company’s goals and corresponds with its risk management policy.
 
 
B - 3

 

4.            Parameters for Examining the Compensation Policy

Presented hereunder are the general parameters that will be considered when examining the compensation terms of the Company’s officers:
     
 
4.1
The officer’s education, skills, expertise, professional experience and achievements.
 
 
4.2
The officer’s position and level of responsibility and previous employment agreements that were signed between the Company and the officer.
 
 
4.3
The officer’s contribution to the Company’s performance, profits and stability.
 
 
4.4
The level of responsibility borne by the officer due to his position in the Company.
 
 
4.5
The need of the Company to retain the officer in view of the officer’s special skills, knowledge and/or expertise.
 
5.            Ratio between the Officers’ Compensation and Compensation of other Company Employees

When determining the compensation terms of the Company’s officers, one of the aspects that will be examined is the ratio between the terms of service of each one of the Company’s officers and the average and median cost of employment of the Company’s employees (including contract workers) while taking into consideration the nature of the officer’s position, his seniority, his level of responsibility and the number of the Company’s employees. In the course of preparing the compensation policy described hereunder, the compensation committee and Board of Directors examined the ratio between the service terms of officers that derive from the adoption of this policy and the average and median cost of employment of the Company’s employees. The compensation committee and Board of Directors decided that these ratios are reasonable and will not have a negative effect on work relations in the Company. Presented hereunder are the aforesaid ratios (according to the compensation ceilings) (*):
