·To check the box marked “U.S. GAAP” under the words “Indicate by check mark which basis of accounting the registrant has used to prepare the financial statements included in this filing:” which was not checked on the cover page of the 2011 Form 20-F due to a clerical error;

 

·To check the box marked “No” under the words “If this is an annual report, indicate by check mark whether the registrant is a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act):” which was not checked on the cover page of the 2011 Form 20-F due to a clerical error; and

Significant changes in holdings of major shareholders

 

From time to time, Formula has increased its beneficial shareholding in our Company through market purchases of additional Common Shares. From January 2010 through July 10, 2011, Formula increased its holding of our Common Shares by approximately 1,198,431 additional Common Shares through purchases on the public market and in private transactions. See the Schedule 13D/As filed by Formula with the SEC on July 26, 2010, June 14, 2011and July 13, 2011 with respect to such purchases. On August 21, 2011, KCPS Technology Investments (2006) Ltd. acquired 3,759,806 Common Shares in connection with our acquisition of IDIT and FIS. See the Schedule 13G filed by KCPS Technology Investments (2006) Ltd. with the SEC on July 25, 2011 with respect to such acquisition. On August 21, 2011, Kardan acquired shared beneficial ownership of 7,536,243 Common Shares and Formula Vision Technologies (F.V.T.) Ltd. (“FVT”) and Dan Goldstein acquired shared beneficial ownership of 9,638,337 Common Shares. See the Schedule 13D filed by Kardan and other parties with the SEC on July 29, 2011 with respect to such acquisition. From July 11, 2011 through August 25, 2011, Formula purchased 356,555 Common Shares in private transactions. See the Schedule 13D/As filed by Formula with the SEC on August 18, 2011 and August 25, 2011 with respect to such purchases.

Voting rights of major shareholders

 

The major shareholders disclosed above do not have different voting rights than other shareholders with respect to the Common Shares that they hold.

 

Holders of Record

 

As March 1, 2012 there were 100 holders of record of the Company’s Common Shares, including 51 holders of record with addresses in the United States who hold a total of 19,586,563 Common Shares, representing approximately 49% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares.  The number of record holders in the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders, nor is it representative of where such beneficial holders are resident, because many of these Common Shares were held of record by nominees (including CEDE & Co., as nominee for a large number of banks, brokers, institutions and underlying beneficial holders of our Common Shares). 

 

Control of the Company

 

Based on Formula’s beneficial holding of over 50% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, and based on Asseco's beneficial holding of 51.7% of the outstanding share capital of Formula, both Formula and Asseco may be considered to control the Company. We are unaware of any arrangements the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.
