Further to note 18 of the Company's Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the Year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 23, 2022 (Ref No: 2022-02-018666), and to the Company's immediate reports regarding the various applications for certification of claims as class actions that were filed against the Company’s subsidiary, Rotem Amfert Israel Ltd. (“Rotem”), and other defendants (see references below), as a result of an unexpected collapse of a dyke in an evaporation pond at Rotem  in 2017, which caused contamination of the Ashalim Creek Bed and its surrounding area (the “Ashalim Event”), the Company wishes to report, that today, the mediation process was completed and a settlement agreement was signed between Rotem and the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority, as well as all the other applicants in the aforesaid proceedings (the "Settlement Agreement"). The Settlement Agreement will be submitted to the Israeli court, and, pending its approval, will conclude the proceedings between the parties.
 
According to the Settlement Agreement, Rotem will pay the public and the class groups, NIS 115 million (approximately $33.5 million), including legal and other expenses, as compensation for, among other things, the restoration of the Ashalim River and its surroundings.
