Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 18 (this “ Amendment No. 18 ”) to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (the “ Statement ”), which Statement was last amended by Amendment No. 17 thereto, filed on March 14, 2016 (“ Amendment No. 17 ”), is being filed by the Reporting Person (as defined in Item 2 below), in respect of its holdings of ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.1 per share (“ Ordinary Shares ”) of Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (“ Magic ” or the “ Issuer ”).

The Issuer is an Israeli company, whose principal executive offices are located at 5 Haplada Street, Or Yehuda 60218, Israel.

This Amendment No. 18 is being filed by the Reporting Person to update the Statement to reflect changes to the beneficial ownership by the Reporting Person of Ordinary Shares relative to the amount set forth in Amendment No. 17. As a result of the Private Placement (as defined in paragraph (ii) below) entered into by the Issuer, the percentage beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Person has decreased by more than one percent (1%), in the aggregate. The transactions by the Reporting Person that have changed the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it relative to that reflected in Amendment No. 17 consist of the following:

(i)

The purchase by the Reporting Person of an aggregate of 95,000 Ordinary Shares in March 2016 in open market transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $662,788, as a result of which the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership percentage increased from 47.1% (as reported in Amendment No. 17) to 47.3%; and

(ii)

The purchase by the Reporting Person of 1,117,734 Ordinary Shares in an Israeli private placement consummated by the Issuer on July 12, 2018 (the “ Private Placement ”) (out of a total of 4,268,293 Ordinary Shares issued and sold by the Issuer in the Private Placement), for an aggregate purchase price of $9,165,419, which overall issuances by the Issuer to various investors in the Private Placement decreased the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership percentage to 45.3%.

Item 2: Identity and Background

The name of the reporting corporation is Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (“ Formula ” or the “ Reporting Person ”), which is organized under the laws of the State of Israel.

Formula’s principal office is located at 5 Haplada St., Or-Yehuda, 6021805, Israel.

There are no criminal convictions or civil judgments or injunctions to report under Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D.

Item 3: Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source of funds for Formula’s purchases reported in this Amendment No. 18 (as described in Item 1 above) was Formula’s working capital.

Item 5 is amended and restated as follows:

(a), (b) Formula is the beneficial owner of and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 22,080,468 Ordinary Shares, which represent 45.3% of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. This percentage of beneficial ownership was calculated on the basis of 48,757,496 outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer as of July 12, 2018.
