Item 1
Supreme Court Ruling in the Appeal regarding the Application for Certification of a Class Action
concerning Ein Bokek regarding Environmental Hazards to the area of Bokek Stream
Further to the Company's immediate report dated June 28, 2022 (Reference no: 2022-02-067200), regarding an appeal filed by the plaintiffs with the Israeli Supreme Court against the Be'er Sheva District Court's decision to dismiss with prejudice the application for certification of a class action (respectively, the “Application for Certification" and the “Appeal”) against the Company’s subsidiaries, Rotem Amfert Negev Ltd. and Periclase Dead Sea Ltd., due to environmental hazards which were allegedly the result of leakage of wastewater to the groundwater aquifer in the vicinity of the Bokek stream which started in the seventies, while the Company was government owned, the Company hereby reports that on October 12, 2023, the Israeli Supreme Court rendered its ruling in the Appeal.
In its ruling, the Israeli Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiffs claim regarding property rights, and therefore dismissed the Application for Certification of the entire public of the State of Israel, yet accepted the Appeal with regards to the statute of limitations claim, and ruled that Application for Certification is approved only regarding the limited class constituting visitors of the Bokek stream (the “Limited Group”). In accordance therewith, the Application for Certification of the Limited Group only shall be reviewed by the District Court.
For additional information regarding the Application for Certification and the proceedings held, see the Company’s immediate reports dated April 25, 2022 (Ref No: 2022-02-050476) and March 11, 2018 (Ref No: 2018-02-023143) as well as Note 18 to the Company’s Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for 2022 filed on February 28, 2023 (Ref No: 2023-02-022020).
