NOTE 3 – LIABILITY FOR EMPLOYEE RIGHTS UPON RETIREMENT

Prior to the three months ended June 30, 2026, Protalix Ltd., the Company’s Israeli subsidiary, was required in certain circumstances to make a severance payment upon retirement of certain employees. The Company recorded the liability resulting from this obligation on its balance sheets under “Liability for employee rights upon retirement.” The Company funded this liability, in part, through the purchase of insurance policies or by the establishment of pension funds, and the amounts so funded were recorded in the Company’s balance sheets under “Funds in respect of employee rights upon retirement.” During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company amended its agreements with the relevant employees to be consistent with the Company’s agreements with the remainder of its employees. Giving effect to such amendments, the Company makes deposits to certain insurance companies or pension funds for accounts controlled by each applicable employee in order to secure the employee’s rights upon retirement in lieu of severance. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any remaining funds or liabilities for employee rights upon retirement recognized in its balance sheet and has no subsequent liabilities for severance. The liability accrued and the amounts funded are not recorded in the Company’s balance sheets as the amounts funded are not under the Company’s control or management, and the liability has been irrevocably transferred to the applicable insurance companies or pension funds.
