Filing Explained
The group reports shared voting power over 17.41% of the stated share base, but its special-meeting effort remains incomplete.
This amendment updates the reporting group's ownership mechanics and confirms that its special-meeting effort remains a demand: the filing describes requested meeting and proxy materials, not a completed meeting.
Pure Capital reports sole dispositive power over 1,752,000 ADSs and 56,100 ordinary shares, while Invest Pro reports sole dispositive power over 500,000 ADSs; voting power over 2,252,000 ADSs and 56,100 ordinary shares is shared under an oral voting agreement.
Kfir Silberman and Ron Yair Peled do not directly own the reported securities, but the filing says each may be deemed a beneficial owner through the entity each controls and disclaims beneficial ownership beyond the applicable pecuniary interest.
The filing identifies drafts of meeting and proxy materials as requested items; progress on the special-meeting demand would therefore be established by those materials, issuer action, or a later filing.
