Max Stock Limited Provides Clarifications regarding the Resignation of Erez Nahum as a Director

CAESAREA, Israel, March 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Max Stock Limited (TASE: MAXO) (the "Company"), further to its announcement on Sunday, March 15, 2026, regarding the resignation of Mr. Erez Nahum as a director on the Company's Board of Directors, provides the following additional information in response to the position of the Israel Securities Authority whereby the resignation is due to circumstances that must be disclosed:

In his notice of resignation as a director of the Company, Mr. Erez Nahum stated that he is resigning for the following reasons:

First,  in connection with a dispute between himself, Apax (the Global Fund) and Apax Israel (together: "the Apax Funds") and Ms. Zahavit Cohen, Chairperson of the Board (in her capacity as CEO of Apax Israel) ("the dispute"), Mr. Nahum claims that Ms. Cohen improperly used her position as Chairperson of the Board, together with the Apax Funds,  to prevent him from participating in a board meeting held in January 2026, and that, in his view, the resolutions adopted at such meeting are therefore null and void.

Second, following the aforementioned meeting, Mr. Nahum requested documents and information from the Company and, according to his claim, received only a partial response by the Company to his subsequent requests for documents and information, and that the Company had thereby breached applicable corporate governance requirements.

The Company clarifies that these claims were thoroughly examined, including with its legal advisors, and were also discussed in a dedicated meeting of the Board of Directors held in February 2026, in the absence of both Mr. Nahum and the Chairperson. Following such review, the Board determined that Mr. Nahum's claims are unfounded and false.

The Board further determined that Mr. Nahum's requests were driven by personal considerations arising from the dispute and are not in the best interests of the Company, and therefore were not accepted.

The Company is not a party to the dispute and does not intend to take any part therein. The Company further clarifies that neither the Company nor any of its representatives, including the Chairperson, officers or other directors, prevented Mr. Nahum from participating in the aforementioned board meeting, and that the Company did not breach the applicable corporate governance requirements.
