The Board of Plus500 notes that there have been a number of votes (20%) cast against Resolution 5. The Company understands that the size of the vote against resolution 5 is due in part to the desire of certain shareholders to see greater diversity on the Board, particularly around female representation; the Board

believes this would be a positive development.  With this in mind, while ensuring that future Board members are selected primarily on ability and the balance of skills required, the Company's nomination committee will seek to increase the female representation, where possible, with any future appointments to the Board.

At 18 June 2019, the issued share capital of the Company was 114,888,377 Ordinary Shares of NIS 0.01 each (including 1,598,609 Ordinary Shares held by the Company as treasury shares).

The Notice of EGM and the voting results are also available on the Plus500 Ltd. website at www.plus500.com
