G. Willi-Food International Ltd. (NASDAQ: WILC) (the “Company” or “Willi-Food”), a global company that specializes in the development, marketing and international distribution of kosher foods,
announces that on February 14, 2024, the Company received a notification from the Israel Competition Authority, according to which, after examining the evidence, the Israeli Competition Authority is considering filing an indictment against the
Company subject to a hearing, for the suspicions listed in the "Letter of Suspicions" attached to the notification ("Letter of Suspicions").
A similar notice has been provided to Mr. Zwi Williger, the controlling shareholder of the Company, who serves as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Willi-food Investments.
The Letter of Suspicions refers to several interviews given by Mr. Williger to the media, that the Israeli Competition Authority is considering as an attempt to reach a restrictive agreement (the
Company and Mr. Williger), and, in the case of Mr. Williger a violation of an officers' liability under the Economic Competition Law, 5748-1988.
According to the notices, the Company and Mr. Williger have been given the opportunity to present their arguments orally and in writing and to explain why indictment against them should be avoided.
To avoid any doubt, it is clarified that no decision has been made regarding the legal action against any of the aforementioned parties, and the decision on this matter is subject to the right to a
hearing as mentioned above.
