LET T ER F R O M T H E C E O DEAR SHAREHOLDER, You are cordially invited to attend ICL Group Ltd.’s (ICL) 2025 Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. (Israel time). The notice of the meeting, as well as items of business and voting instructions, are included in this document. I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update on ICL’s performance in 2024, as well as on the situation in Israel during the year, and to address more recent developments. Despite ongoing challenges related to the security situation in Israel during 2024, we successfully managed to minimize the impact of war-related disruptions throughout the year. As of July 2025, we remain focused on operational continuity and, above all, the safety and well-being of our employees. For 2024, we delivered adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1.5 billion, with our specialties-driven businesses contributing 70% of that amount, as we continued to focus on increasing market share across Industrial Products, Phosphate Solutions and Growing Solutions. We remain committed to growing our leadership position for these three businesses. In total, we reported sales of $6.8 billion for 2024 and maintained our overall momentum, despite persistent potash pricing headwinds. We continued to focus on strong cash generation, which resulted in free cash flow(1) of $758 million dollars for the full year. For 2024, we delivered $0.38 of adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) and wrapped up the year by delivering a total of $242 million dollars in dividend distributions, in accordance with our longstanding policy to pay out up to 50% of adjusted net income to our shareholders. Our industryleading dividend yield for 2024 was 3.8%, and once again – even in a challenging year – we delivered a total return ahead of our peers. We had several significant wins in 2024, as we expanded strategic relationships and accelerated the launch of innovative, new products across all of our specialties-driven businesses. We also successfully delivered on our efficiency plans for targeted cost savings. While there has been a change in leadership at ICL, there has not been a shift in our overall strategy. We will continue to drive growth in our specialty businesses, which help to differentiate ICL from our more commodity-based peers. We will also continue to maximize our potash sales volumes, by prioritizing the markets with the highest prices – when possible – as we have done in the past. Innovation remains central to ICL’s future growth, and we will continue to develop new products – in partnership with existing clients and to provide solutions to new clients. Our non-organic growth will continue to be supported by transformational acquisitions and complimentary M&A activity. We will also continue to benefit from our truly global workforce, which enables us to look to our trusted coworkers in different regions for their insights. We will always work together to find the right solutions for our customers and to support one another – no matter what the challenge. Thank you for your continued trust and support. Sincerely yours, Elad Aharonson CEO and President Non-IFRS financials measures and reconciliation to IFRS measures are described in the accompanying proxy statement for the ICL 2025 Annual General Meeting and Appendix A thereto.

EX EC U T IVE SU M M A RY COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND POLICIES As an Israeli public company, we are required to adopt a compensation policy for Office Holders, as such term is defined in the Israeli Companies Law, once every three years. Our current Compensation Policy, which reflects our executive compensation philosophy and creates a coherent system of rules and principles for compensation and incentives for these executives, was approved in 2024 by our HR & Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and our shareholders by a special majority (of non- controlling and disinterested shareholders), in that order. WHAT WE DO? A majority of the targeted total direct compensation is at-risk and tied to performance. We maintain an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term compensation to provide appropriate balance between short- and long-term decision making and discourage excessive risk taking. Our executive compensation is governed by a strict compensation policy, approved by our shareholders by a special majority once every three years. Our HR & Compensation Committee is an independent committee, comprised of independent directors only. Our Compensation Recoupment Policy (“claw back”) requires us to reasonably promptly recover incentive-based compensation received by executive officers in the event of certain restatements of the Company’s financial statements.

SE C TI O N 1 | VO T I N G I N F O R M ATI O N WHO CAN VOTE You are entitled to notice of, and to vote in person or by proxy at, the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, if you are a holder of record of our Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on July 24, 2025 (“Record Date”). You are also entitled to notice of the Meeting and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof if you held Ordinary Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee that is one of our shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date, or which appeared in the participant listing of a securities depository (such as the Depository Trust Company) on that date, and if you held your shares through a member of the TASE on that date. See below “How You Can Vote.” OUTSTANDING ORDINARY SHARES There were 1,290,672,524 Ordinary Shares outstanding on July 1, 2025. MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON You will be asked to vote on the following items of business: 1. Re-election of Yoav Doppelt, Aviad Kaufman, Avisar Paz, Sagi Kabla, Reem Aminoach, Lior Reitblatt, Tzipi Ozer Armon, Gadi Lesin, Michal Silverberg and Shalom Shlomo to serve as directors, effective as of the date of the Meeting, until the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company or until any of their earlier resignation or removal; 2. Reappointment of Somekh Chaikin, a Member Firm of KPMG International, as the Company’s independent auditor until the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company. 3. At the Meeting, following the matters to be voted on as detailed above, we will also present and discuss our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as previously made available to our shareholders as part of our 2024 Annual Report, which may be accessed via the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the ISA’s website at www.magna.isa.gov.il (reference number 2025-02-016733), as well as via the “Investor” section of our Company’s website, www.icl-group.com. The Company currently is not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the persons designated as proxies may vote in accordance with the judgment on such matters. 17

 

 

SE C TI O N 1 | VO T I N G I N F O R M ATI O N QUORUM Two or more shareholders holding in the aggregate more than 50% of the outstanding voting power in the Company, present in person or by proxy, written ballot or via the ISA’s electronic voting system, and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. If within half an hour from the time scheduled for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall be adjourned to Thursday, September 11, 2025, at the same time and place. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time scheduled for the adjourned meeting, then two shareholders with voting rights, who hold in the aggregate at least one-third of the Company’s issued share capital, who are present, in person or by proxy, written ballot or via the ISA’s electronic voting system, shall constitute a quorum. This notice will serve as notice of such reconvened meeting if no quorum is present at the original date and time and no further notice of the reconvened meeting will be given to shareholders. In the case of joint holders of Ordinary Shares, pursuant to Article 75 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the vote of the most senior of such joint holders who tenders a vote, in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s). For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Company’s shareholders register. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum. Broker non-votes occur when brokers that hold their customers’ shares in street name sign and submit proxies for such shares, and vote such shares on some matters but not on others. This occurs when brokers have not received any instructions from their customers, in which case the brokers, as the holders of record, are permitted to vote on “routine” matters, but not on non-routine matters. Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for quorum purposes. VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSALS Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote upon each of the proposals to be presented at the Meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power in the Company represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, written ballot or via the ISA’s electronic voting system, and voting on the matter, is required for the approval of each of the proposals. In tabulating the voting results for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast on that proposal. Unsigned or unreturned proxies, including those not returned by banks, brokers, or other record holders, will not be counted for voting purposes. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its shares if the shareholder wants its shares to count towards the vote tally for a given proposal. 18

 

 

SE C TI O N 1 | VO T I N G I N F O R M ATI O N HOW YOU CAN VOTE How you vote depends on whether you are shareholder of record, shareholder in “street name” or shareholder who holds shares that are traded on the TASE. You are a shareholder of record if the share certificate or book-entry position is registered in your name at our transfer agent. You are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” if your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee. You are considered a shareholder who holds shares that are traded on the TASE if your shares are held through a member of the TASE. SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD You may attend and vote in person at the Meeting or may submit your vote by completing, signing and submitting (in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope) the enclosed proxy card. Unless otherwise indicated specifically on the form of proxy, Ordinary Shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form will be voted in favor of all the matters to be presented at the Meeting, as recommended by the Board of Directors. To be valid, a proxy must be properly executed and received by our transfer agent or at the offices of the Company no less than 48 hours prior to the time scheduled for the Meeting (i.e., 10:00 a.m. (Israel time) on Tuesday, September 2, 2025), unless a shorter period is determined by the chairman of the Meeting. SHAREHOLDER IN “STREET NAME” Your broker, bank or nominee will provide you with instructions that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. If you are a beneficial holder and wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must first obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. HOLDER OF SHARES TRADED ON TASE You may vote your shares in person or by delivering or mailing (via registered mail) your completed Hebrew written ballot (in the form filed by the Company via MAGNA, the online platform of the ISA), to the offices of the Company no less than four hours prior to the time scheduled for the Meeting, at the address set forth above, attention: Aya Landman, VP, Chief Compliance Officer & Corporate Secretary. Shareholders who hold shares through members of the TASE (whether attending the Meeting in person or voting through a voting ballot) must deliver to the Company an ownership certificate confirming their ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date from the applicable TASE member, as required by the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meeting) of 2000, as amended. Alternatively, shares held via a TASE member may be voted electronically via the ISA’s electronic voting system, up to six hours before the time fixed for the Meeting. Shareholders should receive instructions about electronic voting from the TASE member through which they hold their shares. 19

 

 

SE C TI O N 1 | VO T I N G I N F O R M ATI O N CHANGE OR REVOCATION OF PROXY Shareholders of record may revoke the authority granted by their execution of proxies by delivering to the Company or its transfer agent a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date, provided such revocation notice or later-dated proxy is received by the Company or its transfer agent at least 48 hours before the Meeting, unless a shorter period is determined by the chairman of the Meeting, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. If your shares are held in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee or nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and voting in person. If your shares are held through a member of the TASE and you wish to change your voting instructions, you may change your vote (i) by attending the Meeting and voting in person, by presenting a valid ownership certificate (as of the Record Date); (ii) by delivering a later-dated duly executed Hebrew written ballot, together with a valid ownership certificate (as of the Record Date), to the Company’s offices no later than four hours prior to the designated time of the Meeting, or (iii) by following the relevant instructions for changing your vote via the ISA electronic voting system by no later than six hours before the time set for the Meeting. SOLICITATION OF PROXIES Proxies for use at the Meeting are being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company. Proxies are being mailed to shareholders on or about July 28, 2025, and will be solicited mainly by mail. The Company will bear the cost for the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares. In addition, certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, e-mail or other personal contact.

SE C TI O N 3 | C O R P O R AT E GOV E R N A N C E SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION 2 OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY The design and philosophy of our executive compensation program closely links financial performance and strategy execution to resulting awards, supporting our efforts to attract, motivate and retain the brightest talent with skills across a diverse range of capabilities. An emphasis on longterm incentives (equity-based compensation) focuses our executives on long-term success and aligns compensation with shareholders’ interests. The compensation structure is designed to support the delivery of financial performance while demonstrating a commitment to operating safely, reliably and in a manner that is proactively consistent with our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments. ESG performance targets are regularly included as part of the annual short term incentive plan of all executive officers, to reflect our commitment to create impactful solutions for humanity’s sustainability challenges. Accordingly, for 2024, our HR & Compensation Committee and Board of Directors set annual key performance indicators (“KPIs”) for our executive management, that incorporate improvement of specific ESG targets, including: health & safety performance (IR improvement targets), environmental performance (water savings, waste reduction, greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions reduction targets, aimed to eventually achieve science based targets, as further detailed in “Item 4 – Information On The Company — B. Business Overview - Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)" of the 2024 Annual Report), suppliers sustainability performance (related to TfS / Ecovadis assessments), climate-change and climate related disclosures and rankings, diversity and gender equality improvement targets, energy efficiency, green products, product carbon footprints calculations, and more. COMPENSATION AND RECOUPMENT POLICY At the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on October 9, 2024, our shareholders approved a new compensation policy for office holders (the “New Compensation Policy”), for a period of three years, replacing the previous compensation policy that was approved by our shareholders in March 2022 (the “Previous Compensation Policy”). The New Compensation Policy contained a few adjustments in comparison to the Previous Compensation Policy, reflecting the experience that was gained from the implementation of the Previous Compensation Policy since its adoption. A copy of the New Compensation Policy is attached as Exhibit 4.3 to the 2024 Annual Report. The New Compensation Policy refers, among other things, to the Compensation Recoupment Policy that was adopted by the Company in 2023, as required under, and in accordance with, the requirements of Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. A copy of the Compensation Recoupment Policy is attached as Exhibit4.7 to the 2024 Annual Report. 2024 SENIOR MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION The aggregate compensation amount incurred by us with respect to all of the members of our senior management (Global Executive Committee – GEC) as of December 31, 2024, was approximately $17 million for the year 2024. This amount includes an annual provision for pension or other retirement benefits for our senior management of approximately $1 million. 2 All amounts in this section are taken as reported in the Company's 2024 Annual Report, including the conversion from NIS to USD. 33

SE C TI O N 3 | C O R P O R AT E GOV E R N A N C E SHORT TERM INCENTIVE – THE ANNUAL BONUS COMPONENT Our Annual Short Term Incentive Plan is a key element in supporting our pay-for-performance philosophy. Each Executive Officer’s annual incentive opportunity is determined by performance in certain components, with an emphasis on key operating and financial metrics, including ESG targets. The Annual Incentive Plan for 2024 continued to include strategic metrics at both ICL and operating segment levels to measure and reward initiatives critical to the longer-term success of the organization. For most of our executive officers, other than for Mr. Zoller (our departing President and CEO) and Mr. Doppelt (our Executive Chairman of the Board), the STI targets continue to be set as a percentage of salary, with actual STI payouts based on a performance multiplier dependent on the achievement of predetermined annual goals. ESG performance targets are included as part of the annual short term incentive plan of all executive officers, to reflect our commitment to creating impactful solutions for humanity’s sustainability challenges, including: health & safety performance (IR improvement targets), environmental performance (water savings, waste reduction and GHG emissions reduction targets, aimed to eventually achieve science-based targets (SBTi)), suppliers sustainability performance (related to TfS /Ecovadis assessments), climate-change and climate related disclosures and rankings, diversity and gender equality improvement targets, energy efficiency, green products, product carbon footprints calculations, and more. On January 20, 2025, and January 22, 2025, our HR & Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, respectively, approved the payouts of the annual STI awards to our executive officers for 2024, including the top-five earners in 2024 among ICL’s senior officers, in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy, and according to the criteria set forth above. CEO STI FORMULA, AS SET FORTH IN THE PREVIOUS COMPENSATION POLICY IN EFFECT IN 2024 • The target STI (“STI Target”) for the CEO represents the payout amount for achieving a 100% performance level (i.e., meeting 100% of all targets) in a given year. The STI Target for the CEO for any given fiscal year may not exceed 120% of the CEO’s annual base salary. • 80% of the CEO's STI Target will be measured against the performance level of annual measurable financial and non- financial goals determined by the HR & Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors at the beginning of each fiscal year, as detailed in the Compensation Policy. • Out of the 80% STI Target, at least 60% of the STI Target will be based on financial goals included in the annual budget, and the remaining 20% (or less) of the STI Target will be based on other measurable non-financial goals. The achievement level of each goal, whether measurable financial goals or measurable non-financial goals, will be assessed independently of other goals, according to the rating scale set forth in the Company’s Compensation Policy, and then translated into payout factors. The measurable financial goals are calculated based on the figures from ICL's annual reports, as adjusted in accordance with the predefined list set forth in the Compensation Policy (the "Predefined List"). • If the actual performance of ICL’s operating income and/or net income, as adjusted according to the Predefined List, does not meet the threshold performance level (60% of budgeted level), there will be no payout for the 80% portion of the STI award that is based on measurable financial and nonfinancial goals. • The remaining 20% of the CEO's STI Target will be determined based on a qualitative evaluation by the HR & Compensation Committee and Board of Directors. The maximum payout for this component cannot exceed three monthly base salaries. • The maximum STI payout for the CEO according to the Company's Compensation Policy cannot exceed, for any given year, the lower of 130% of the CEO's STI Target for such year and $1.5 million. • Mr. Zoller’s STI Target for fiscal year 2024 after adjustment to the CPI as per his employment agreement, was NIS 3.5 million (approximately $959,000), with a maximum STI payout of NIS 4.56 million (approximately $1.2 million). • For details regarding Mr. Zoller’s STI performance and payout in 2024, see ”FIVE-HIGHEST EARNERS STI PERFORMANCE AND PAYOUT IN 2024” below. 38

 

 

SE C TI O N 3 | C O R P O R AT E GOV E R N A N C E EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD (CoB) STI FORMULA, AS SET FORTH IN THE PREVIOUS COMPENSATION POLICY IN EFFECT IN 2024 • The STI Target for the CoB represents the payout amount for achieving a 100% performance level (i.e., 100% of all targets) in a given year. The STI Target for the CoB for any given fiscal year may not exceed 120% of the CoB's annual base salary. • If the actual performance of ICL’s operating income and/or net income, as adjusted according to the Predefined List, does not meet the threshold performance level (60% of the budget), no payout will be made under the CoB STI plan. • Of the CoB's STI Targets for any given year, 30% will be based on the performance level of ICL EBITDA; 30% on the performance level of ICL Operating Income; 20% on the performance level of ICL Net Income, and 20% on the performance level of ICL’s Revenues. These goals will be derived from ICL’s budget for the relevant fiscal year, and the achievement level of each goal will be assessed independently, according to the rating scale set forth in the Company's Compensation Policy and then translated into payout factors. Such financial goals are calculated according to the figures from ICL's annual reports, as adjusted in accordance with the Predefined List. • The maximum STI payout for the CoB shall not exceed, for any given fiscal year, the lower of 150% of the CoB's STI Target and $1 million. • Mr. Doppelt’s STI Target for 2024, which was also his potential maximum STI payout, was NIS 1.2 million (approximately $329,000). • Mr. Doppelt’s overall STI score for 2024 representing the performance against the STI targets for 2024, was 139.5%. His payout was NIS 1.2 million (approximately $329,000), which represents a 100% score and is the maximum STI payment possible under Mr. Doppelt's compensation terms. AMENDMENTS TO STI FORMULAS OF CoB AND CEO AS SET FORTH IN THE NEW COMPENSATION POLICY IN EFFECT COMMENCING 2025 • Pursuant to the New Compensation Policy that was approved by our shareholders on October 9, 2024, effective as of the STI for 2025, the CEO STI formula has been amended to provide that out of the measurable 80% STI Target, between 50%-100% will be measured against financial goals included in the annual budget for the relevant fiscal year, and the remaining measurable STI Target will be measured against non-financial measurable goals. The list of financial and non-financial measurable goals remains unchanged. In addition, the payout factor for non-financial measurable goals for excellent performance by the CEO has been expanded to a range between 100%-125%. • The Predefined List of financial goals’ adjustments for purposes of calculating the STI of the CoB and the CEO for any given year in the New Compensation Policy includes an adjustment for force majeure events, including pandemics, natural disasters, war (including related geopolitical developments), strikes and shutdowns, general emergency situations, an offensive event against ICL or against its facilities (including cyber-attacks), etc., that were not considered for purposes of determining the annual budget. According to shareholders approval, this adjustment applies as of 2024 reporting year period for purposes of calculating the payout of the STI awards for 2024 for the CoB and the CEO. 39

SE C TI O N 4 | B OA R D O F D I R E C T O R S EXTERNAL DIRECTORS As a public Israeli company, we are required by the Israeli Companies Law to have at least two external directors who meet certain independence criteria to ensure that they are not related to the Company or to our controlling shareholder. The definition of an “external director” or "independent director" under the Israeli Companies Law and the definition of an “independent director” under the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules are very similar, and thus, we would generally expect a director who qualifies as one to also qualify as the other. However, since the definitions provided in Israeli law and U.S. laws are not identical, it is possible for a director to qualify as one but not necessarily as the other. An external director is required to have either financial and accounting expertise or professional qualifications, as defined in the relevant regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law, and at least one of the external directors is required to have financial and accounting expertise. Our external directors, Ms. Dafna Gruber and Dr. Miriam Haran, have financial and accounting expertise as defined in such regulations. An external director is entitled to reimbursement of expenses and compensation as provided in the Compensation Regulations promulgated under the Israeli Companies Law but is otherwise prohibited from receiving any other compensation from us, directly or indirectly, during his or her term of office and for two years thereafter. Under the Israeli Companies Law, external directors must be elected at a shareholders’ meeting by a simple majority of the votes cast, provided that either of the following conditions is met: (i) such majority includes a majority of the votes cast by noncontrolling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the election (excluding a personal interest that did not result from the shareholder’s relationship with the controlling shareholder), excluding abstentions, or (ii) the votes cast by noncontrolling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the election opposing the election (excluding a personal interest that did not result from the shareholder’s relationship with the controlling shareholder) did not exceed 2% of our aggregate voting rights. Generally, external directors may serve for up to three terms of three years each, and as a company whose shares are traded on the NYSE, our Audit and Accounting Committee and Board of Directors may nominate external directors for additional three-year terms under certain circumstances for election by the shareholders by the same majority required for election of an external director as described above. Even if an external director is not nominated by our Board of Directors for reelection for a second or third term, an external director may be nominated for reelection for up to two additional three year terms, by (a) one or more shareholders holding at least 1% of our voting rights (provided the external director is not an "affiliated or competing shareholder", or a relative of such a shareholder, at the time of the appointment, and is not "affiliated" with such a shareholder at the time of the appointment or within the two years preceding the date of appointment, as such terms are defined in the Israeli Companies Law). In such circumstances, the reelection of the external director requires the approval of our shareholders by a majority of the votes cast by noncontrolling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the election (excluding a personal interest that did not result from the shareholder’s relationship with the controlling shareholder and excluding abstentions) and the votes cast by such shareholders approving the reelection must exceed 2% of our aggregate voting rights; and (b) the external director him or herself, in which case the election by the shareholders is by the same majority required for the initial election of an external director, as described above. The term of office of an external director may be terminated prior to expiration only by a shareholder vote, by the same threshold required for election, or by a court, but in each case only if the external director ceases to meet the statutory qualifications for election or if the external director breaches his or her duty of trust to the Company. Under the Israeli Companies Law, each committee of the Board of Directors that exercises power of the Board of Directors must include at least one external director and all external directors must be members of the Company’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. We have two external directors: Dr. Miriam Haran, whose second three-year term commenced on July 17, 2024, and Ms. Dafna Gruber, whose second three-year term commenced on January 27, 2025. 47

 

 

SE C TI O N 4 | B OA R D O F D I R E C T O R S BOARD EFFECTIVENESS REVIEW Our Board of Directors is committed to continuous improvement and recognizes the fundamental role a robust Board of Directors and committee evaluation process play in ensuring that our Board of Directors maintains optimal composition and functions effectively. In the annual selfevaluation process, the members of the Board of Directors conduct a confidential assessment of the performance, risk oversight and composition of the Board and its committees, as relevant. As part of the evaluation process, the Board of Directors reviews the effectiveness and overall composition of the Board of Directors, including director tenure, board leadership structure, diversity and skill sets, the quality and scope of the materials distributed in advance of meetings and the board's access to Company executives and operations, to ensure the Board of Directors serves the best interests of shareholders and positions the Company for future success. After the evaluations, the board and committees, in conjunction with the corporate secretariat function, work to improve upon any issues presented during the evaluation process and to identify opportunities that may lead to further improvement. While this formal self-evaluation is conducted on an annual basis, the evaluation process is an ongoing process throughout the year. Directors continuously share their perspectives, feedback, and suggestions throughout the year, whether during the board’s executive sessions or otherwise. NEW DIRECTOR ON BOARDING & DIRECTORS' TRAININGS The Company has a tailored and robust onboarding program for new directors, aimed to familiarize the new directors with key topics, such as the board’s structure, governance and responsibilities, the Company’s organizational structure, the Company’s strategic objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs), the Company’s business environment and market overview, financial reporting and legal proceedings. The program is formalized and tailored to take into account the unique backgrounds, experiences and expected committee responsibilities of each new director. The program includes an educational overview of the Company's public disclosures, including website, regulatory filings, governance documents, investor presentations, and annual and long-term budget materials. In addition, we schedule meetings for the new directors with other directors, key executives and business leaders to gain business insights about the Company, and the culture of the board and how it operates. Additional onboarding activities (such as site visits) are calendared throughout the year to foster an ongoing onboarding program. The board operates according to annual and long-term plans, which include, among other things, trainings on various issues (such as climate change, sustainability, governance, compliance, HR, people trends, etc.), in addition to educational sessions on the business environment, our products, competition view, compliance, and other topics. 48
