TASE-BlueStar Israel Global Technology IndexTM (TA-BIGITechTM): End-Q1 2015 Fact Sheet Index Overview The TASE-BlueStar Israel Global Technology IndexTM provides a benchmark for investors to track Israeli and Israel-linked technology companies trading worldwide. The index is constructed using BlueStar Indexes’ unique methodology and proprietary database of Israeli and Israel-linked companies. In March 2015 the TASE and BlueStar entered into an agreement to add the TA-BIGITechTM to the TASE’s family of indexes. TA-BIGITechTM is a modified market capitalization weighted index, capping the top-weighted constituents at 10%. It includes the largest and most liquid technology companies, as well as mid and small cap companies that display sufficient liquidity for global investors. The methodology allows for the inclusion of Israeli companies listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and other major exchanges such as the London Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange, and NASDAQ. Furthermore the methodology provides for the inclusion of companies that develop, manufacture, and/or deliver innovative technologies in a wide range of tech sectors, including Bio-Tech, Agriculture-Tech, Defense-Tech, Clean-Tech as well as Info-tech. The TA-BIGITechTM provides investors with an investable benchmark that allows them to quickly take advantage of event-driven news, industry trends, market/industry cycles, as well as the potential for capital appreciation driven by Israeli technological innovation, and available for licensees to develop TA-BIGITech™-tracking products.
