Board Recommendation
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of Proposals 1 through 6.
Quorum
On March 31, 2018, we had 14,738,782 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 176,181 were represented by ADSs. The foregoing number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares excludes 568,620 ordinary shares that we repurchased (24,780 in 2002 and 543,840 in 2011), as under applicable Israeli law, shares that are held by the Company have no voting rights. Each ordinary share (including an ordinary share represented by an ADS) outstanding as of the close of business on the record date, April 16, 2018, is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Meeting. Under our Articles of Association, the Meeting will be properly convened if at least two shareholders attend the Meeting in person or sign and return proxies, provided that they hold shares representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of our voting power. If such quorum is not present within one hour from the time scheduled for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned for one week (to the same day, time and place), or to a day, time and place proposed by the Chairman with the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting on the adjournment. If 25% of our voting power is not present within one half-hour of the time designated for the adjourned meeting, any two shareholders attending in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum, regardless of the number of shares they hold or represent.
Who Can Vote
You are entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting if you are a shareholder of record at the close of business on Monday, April 16, 2018. You are also entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting if you held ordinary shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on Monday, April 16, 2018, or which appear in the participant listing of a securities depository on that date. If you hold ADSs (whether the ADSs are registered directly in your name or are held in street name) as of that date, you are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to direct the depositary for the ADSs, The Bank of New York Mellon, as to how to vote the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs at the Meeting.
How You Can Vote
You can vote your ordinary shares by attending the Meeting. If you do not plan to attend the Meeting, the method of voting will differ for shares held as a record holder, shares held in street name (through a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE, member) and shares underlying ADSs that you hold. Record holders of shares will need to complete and execute proxy cards (accessible at the Companys website) and submit them to the Company. Holders of shares in street name through a TASE member will vote via a proxy card, but through a different procedure (as described below) or by electronic voting via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority. Holders of ADSs (whether registered in their name or in street name) will receive voting instruction forms in order to instruct the Depositary how to vote (as described below).
Shareholders of Record
If you are a shareholder of record (that is, you hold a share certificate that is registered in your name or your shares are registered in your name in book-entry form), you can submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting a proxy card, which will be accessible at the Investor Relations portion of the Companys website, as described below under Availability of Proxy Materials.
Please follow the instructions on the proxy card. You may change your mind and cancel your proxy card by sending us written notice, by signing and returning a proxy card with a later date, or by voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Except if the Chairman of the Meeting determines otherwise, we will not be able to count a proxy card unless our registrar and transfer agent receives it in the enclosed envelope by 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on Sunday, May 20, 2018, or we receive it at our principal executive offices at 5 HaPlada Street, Or Yehuda, 6021805, Israel, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, e-mail: ir@formula.co.il, at least six hours prior to the time fixed for the Meeting (that is, by 8:00 a.m., Israel time, on Monday, May 21).
Shareholders Holding in Street Name, Through the TASE
If you hold ordinary shares in street name, that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee that is admitted as a member of the TASE, your shares will only be voted if you provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee as to how to vote, if you attend the Meeting in person, or vote electronically via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority.
If you hold ordinary shares in street name you may vote your shares in person at the Meeting, by presenting a certificate signed by the TASE Clearing House member through which the shares are held, which complies with the Israel Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership for Voting in General Meetings)-2000 as proof of ownership of the shares, or you may send such certificate, along with a duly executed proxy card (in the form filed by us on MAGNA, the distribution site of the Israeli Securities Authority, at www.magna.isa.gov.il), to the Company at 5 HaPlada Street, Or Yehuda, 6021805, Israel, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. Alternatively, shares held through a member of the TASE may be voted by means of an electronic vote through the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority (votes.isa.gov.il), subject to proof of ownership of the shares on the record date, as required by law. Voting through the electronic voting system will be allowed until six (6) hours before the Meeting, that is, until 8:00 a.m., Israel time, on Monday, May 21, 2018.
If you hold your shares in street name through a TASE member, if you voted electronically via the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority, you may change or revoke your vote using the electronic voting system up to the time by which you may submit a vote using such system. Alternatively, you may contact your broker to change or revoke your voting instructions.
Holders of ADSs
Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement by and among our Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, or the Depositary, and the holders of our ADSs, the Depositary shall endeavor (insofar as is practicable and in accordance with applicable law and the Articles of Association of our Company) to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares represented by ADSs in accordance with the instructions provided by the holders of ADSs to the Depositary. For ADSs that are held in street name, through a bank, broker or other nominee, the voting process will be based on the underlying beneficial holder of the ADSs directing the bank, broker or other nominee to arrange for the Depositary to vote the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs in accordance with the beneficial holders voting instructions. If no instructions are received by the Depositary from any holder of ADSs (whether held directly by a beneficial holder or in street name) with respect to any of the shares represented by the ADSs on or before the date established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall vote the shares represented by such ADSs in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors of our Company as advised by our Company in writing, except that the Depositary shall not vote the shares represented by ADSs with respect to any matter as to which we inform the Depositary (we have agreed to provide that information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) we do not wish the Depositary to vote, or (y) the matter materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of our ordinary shares.
Multiple Record Shareholders or Accounts
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this document and multiple voting instruction forms. For example, shareholders who hold ADSs in more than one brokerage account will receive a separate voting instruction form for each brokerage account in which ADSs are held. Shareholders of record whose shares are registered in more than one name should complete, sign, date and return one proxy card for each name in which shares are held.
Vote Required for Approval of Each Proposal
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (which excludes abstentions) is necessary for the approval of each proposal.
If you provide specific instructions (mark boxes) with regard to any of the proposals, your shares will be voted as you. If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board, FOR each of the Proposals. The proxy holders will vote in their discretion on any other matters that properly come before the Meeting.
If you are a shareholder of record and do not return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted. If you hold shares (or ADSs representing shares) beneficially in street name, your shares will also not be voted at the Meeting if you do not return your proxy card or voting instruction form to instruct your broker or the Depositary how to vote. This will be true even for a routine matter, such as Proposals 5 and 6 (the ratification and approval of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and payment of its annual compensation for 2017, and the approval of the re-appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and the authorization of the Board of Directors and/or its Audit Committee to fix their annual compensation for 2018, respectively), as your broker and the Depositary will not be permitted to vote your shares in their discretion on any proposal at the Meeting. For all proposals, a broker (and the Depositary) may only vote in accordance with instructions from a beneficial owner of shares or ADSs.
Where a beneficial owner has not provided voting instructions with respect to particular proposal(s) only, and a broker may not, therefore, instruct the Depositary to cast a vote with respect to those proposal(s) (commonly referred to as broker non-votes), the shares held by the beneficial owner will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting, but are not considered present for the purposes of voting on the proposals for which instructions were not provided. Such shares have no impact on the outcome of the voting on any proposal for which instructions were not provided.
Solicitation of Proxies
A form of proxy for use at the Meeting or a voting instruction form for directing the Depositary, has been filed publicly or mailed to you (as appropriate). If your shares are held via our Israeli registrar for trading on the TASE, you should deliver or mail (via registered mail) your completed proxy to our offices at 5 Haplada Street, Or Yehuda, Israel, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, together with a proof of ownership (ishur baalut), as of the Record Date, as defined below, issued by your broker. Shareholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies at any time before the effective exercise thereof by filing with us a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting. Unless otherwise indicated on the form of proxy, shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, if the proxy is properly executed and received by the Company at least six hours prior to the Meeting, will be voted in favor of all the matters to be presented to the Meeting, as described above. The Chairman of the Meeting may waive the requirement of deposit of the proxy six hours before the Meeting. If you vote using the electronic voting system of the Israel Securities Authority, you may also vote up to six hours prior to the Meeting.
Proxies are being made available to shareholders on or about Tuesday, April 17, 2018. Certain officers, directors, employees, and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, emails, or other personal contact. We will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing, and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares and ADSs.

PROPOSAL 4:
APPROVAL OF RENEWAL OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE
Background
Under the Companies Law, the procurement of directors and officers, or D&O, insurance coverage for each of our directors and officers and each of our subsidiaries (excluding Matrix IT Ltd.) directors and officers requires approval of our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors and our shareholders. For additional information regarding our current subsidiaries, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, which we expect to file with the SEC before the Meeting, which will then be available through the EDGAR website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Our current D&O insurance policy provides coverage for directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries against liabilities up to a maximum amount of $40,000,000, both per claim and in the aggregate, plus $10,000,000 of Side A DIC coverage, for a total annual premium of $190,000.
Our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders to enable the Companys and its subsidiaries officers (those constituting office holders under the Companies Law) and directors to make and implement decisions that are in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders, without fear of undue liability for doing so. Consequently, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors have approved, subject to shareholder approval, that we should obtain one or more renewals of our D&O insurance policy, which will reflect certain increases in the insurance coverage, for a period of up to three years.
The renewed insurance coverage will be subject to the following terms: (i) the coverage will be no less than $10,000,000, both per claim and in the aggregate; (ii) the annual premium to be paid by the Company and its subsidiaries will not exceed an amount representing an increase of 20% or more in any year, as compared to the previous year, and in any event no more than $400,000 per year; and (iii) any renewal, extension or substitution will be for the benefit of the Companys and its subsidiaries officers and directors and will otherwise be on terms substantially similar to or better (from the perspective of the directors and officers) than those of the then-effective insurance policy.
The approval by the shareholders of the below proposed resolution pursuant to this Proposal 4 at the Meeting will extend to any renewal or substitution of the D&O insurance policy then in effect, from time to time, within the foregoing limitations.
Proposed Resolution
It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting, the following resolution be adopted pursuant to this Proposal 4:
RESOLVED, that one or more renewals, extensions and/or replacements of the current D&O insurance policy during a period of up to three years be, and hereby are, approved, subject to the following terms: (i) the coverage will be no less than $10,000,000, both per claim and in the aggregate; (ii) the total annual premium amount to be paid by the Company and its affiliates shall not exceed an amount representing an increase of 20% or more in any year, as compared to the previous year, and in any event no more than $400,000 per year; and (iii) any renewal, extension and/or replacement thereof or other similar arrangement will be for the benefit of the directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and will otherwise be on terms substantially similar to or better (from the perspective of the directors and officers) than those of the then-effective insurance policy.
Required Vote
Under the Companies Law and our Articles of Association, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) is required to approve the renewal of the D&O insurance policy as described above.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution approving the renewal of our D&O insurance policy.
