The number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned and the percentage of outstanding Ordinary Shares represented thereby for each of the Reporting Persons have been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The percentages of ownership are based on 15,306,712 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of September 12, 2011, as disclosed by the Issuer (including 1,000 restricted shares of the Reporting Persons which vested on September 21, 2011).
(a) As of September 21, 2011:

Excluding the CIEH and Epsilon Shares, IDB Development may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 8,877,390 Ordinary Shares, constituting approximately 58.0% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.
(3) IDB Holding Corporation Ltd. (“IDB Holding”), Nochi Dankner, Shelley Dankner-Bergman, Avraham Livnat and Ruth Manor may be deemed to beneficially own 8,877,390 Ordinary Shares (excluding the CIEH and Epsilon Shares), constituting approximately 58.0% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by IDB Development.
(4) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the executive officer and directors listed on Exhibits 1 through 3 to Amendment No. 19 to the Statement filed on July 5, 2011 beneficially owns any Ordinary Shares.

(2) Each of the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to have (excluding the CIEH and Epsilon Shares) shared voting power with respect to 8,877,390 Ordinary Shares and shared dispositive power with respect to 8,876,390 Ordinary Shares.
(c) On September 11, 2011, CIEH sold 817 Ordinary Shares for 6,179 NIS (approximately $1,656.57, based on an exchange rate of 3.73 NIS to one US dollar as of September 12, 2011, rounded to the nearest whole cent) on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange. Other than as set forth in the previous sentence, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of the executive officers and directors named in Exhibits 1 through 3 to Amendment No. 19 to the Statement, filed on July 5, 2011, purchased or sold any Ordinary Shares in the past 60 days. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing transaction was not effected by Clal Industries or any of its subsidiaries.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Exchange Act, each of the Reporting Persons (other than Clal Industries) disclaims beneficial ownership of all Ordinary Shares reported in this Amendment No. 20, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 16, 2011, Fundtech Ltd. ("Fundtech") and S1 Corporation agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of June 26, 2011, among S1 Corporation, Finland Holdings (2011) Ltd. and Fundtech (the “S1 Merger Agreement”). As a result of the termination of the S1 Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2011, between Clal Industries and S1 Corporation, was automatically terminated in accordance with its terms.
Also on September 16, 2011, US FT Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), F.T. Israeli Mergerco Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Fundtech entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “GTCR Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the GTCR Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Fundtech, with Fundtech surviving as the continuing corporation in the merger and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “GTCR Merger”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the GTCR Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the GTCR Merger, each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and converted into the right to receive $23.33 in cash, without any interest thereon, and subject to applicable withholding taxes, if any.
In connection with the execution of the GTCR Merger Agreement, Clal Industries entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2011 (the “GTCR Voting Agreement”), with Parent, pursuant to which it has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at every meeting of the shareholders of Fundtech called, and at every postponement or adjournment thereof, to vote: (i) in favor of the approval of the GTCR Merger Agreement, the GTCR Merger and all the transactions contemplated by the GTCR Merger Agreement; and (ii) against any alternative business combination transaction. The GTCR Voting Agreement will terminate on the first to occur of (a) the termination of the GTCR Merger Agreement pursuant to Article VIII thereof, (b) the occurrence of a “Company Change of Recommendation” (as defined in the GTCR Merger Agreement) pursuant to Section 6.6(e) of the GTCR Merger Agreement or (c) the effective time of the GTCR Merger. Clal Industries has also agreed under the GTCR Voting Agreement not to transfer any of its Ordinary Shares. In connection with the execution of the GTCR Voting Agreement, Clal Industries executed and delivered to HFN Trusts Company 2010 Ltd. an irrevocable proxy solely to vote in accordance with the GTCR Voting Agreement (the “GTCR Proxy”). The GTCR Proxy will expire and terminate upon the termination of the GTCR Voting Agreement.
In addition, Clal Industries has agreed not to seek, in certain circumstances, payment for Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it having an aggregate value not to exceed $20 million until the second business day following the effective time of the GTCR Merger, subject to a reasonable guaranty to be delivered to Clal Industries.
The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the GTCR Merger Agreement and the GTCR Voting Agreement (including the GTCR Proxy, which is attached as Exhibit A thereto), each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
