The Special Purpose Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary (100%) of the Foreign Company, and was incorporated in Israel for the purpose of executing the Merger Agreement. It has no operations, assets or liabilities, other than in relation to its being a party to the Merger Agreement.
The Special Purpose Company is expected to merge, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1 of Part 8 of the Companies Law, 5759-1999, into and with the Company, such that, upon the closing of the transaction, the Special Purpose Company will cease to exist whereas the Company will survive, and all of the rights, assets, obligations and liabilities of the Special Purpose Company will be transferred, assigned and granted to the Company, and the Company will become wholly-owned by the Foreign Company.
The closing of the merger is expected to be executed subject to the fulfillment of various preliminary conditions over the upcoming months, including the receipt of various regulatory approvals, and chiefly approvals by antitrust authorities in several countries around the world (the “Closing Date”). It is noted that the Company’s shareholders approved the Transaction and the Merger Agreement on July 12, 2018.
