EXPLANATORY NOTES
 
Caesarstone Sdot-Yam Ltd. (the “Company”) announced the resignation of its director, Avner Naveh, effective immediately. Mr. Naveh is affiliated with Kibbutz Sdot Yam, which owns approximately 32.4% of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares.  Mr. Naveh informed the board that he was resigning due to a difference of opinion over matters related to the board’s work and material resolutions.  The board reaffirmed its confidence in its processes and resolutions.

Following the resignation of Mr. Naveh, the Company regained compliance with the NASDAQ rule requiring that a majority of its board be comprised of directors that satisfy NASDAQ’s independence requirements.
