Achievement of Operational Synergy
Expenses are expected to be saved, as similar functions at the two banks will be merged.
Acting to take advantage of the merged bank could reduce operational expenses.
Synergy is expected in computer expenses, after Union disconnects from its current computer
systems and transfers its data to Mizrahi Tefahot’s systems.
The bank estimates that merging Union with Mizrahi Tefahot could create operational synergy,
which would increase the group’s competitiveness.
Understandings will be reached on an efficiency outline, so that some of Union’s employees would
be absorbed into the merged bank, supporting its activity, including as a result of its organic
growth.
The merger will be accompanied by an investment of financial resources in efficiency measures,
including: adjustments to the labor force, adjustments to the branch network and headquarter units
and a transfer of data from Union’s systems to Mizrahi Tefahot’s systems.

Union’s branch network includes 36 branches. The acquisition transaction may allow achieving
synergy through the merger of Mizrahi Tefahot’s branches with Union’s branches.
Union’s size allows for a merger which is not highly complex
Union constitutes less than 20% of Mizrahi Tefahot Group’s size. In light of this, the merger process
can be done without disrupting the advancement of Mizrahi Tefahot’s strategic plan, while preserving
Mizrahi Tefahot’s unique organizational culture.
