Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2 - 6 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.
Ibex Investors is the investment adviser of Ibex Israel 1, Ibex Israel and Ibex Microcap, and consequently may be deemed to have voting control and investment discretion over the securities owned by Ibex Israel 1, Ibex Israel and Ibex Microcap. Justin B. Borus is the manager of Ibex Investors. As a result, Mr. Borus may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Ibex Investors. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Ibex Investors or Mr. Borus as to beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Ibex Israel or Ibex Microcap. Each of Ibex Investors and Mr. Borus disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities set forth in this Schedule 13G except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interests therein.
The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in Item 11 of pages 2-6 was calculated based on 14,938,339 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016 as reported in the Issuer’s Form 20-F/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2017.
Item 5. | Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class. |
As of September 1, 2017, Ibex Israel 1 ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5 percent of the class of securities because on September 1, 2017, in connection with the creation of a master-feeder fund structure, Ibex Israel 1 transferred all of its securities of the Issuer into Ibex Israel in exchange for partnership interests in Ibex Israel.
Item 6. | Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person. |
Not Applicable.
Item 7. | Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company. |

By signing below the undersigned certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, other than activities solely in connection with a nomination under §240.14a-11.
