THE TRENDLINES GROUP LTD. (Incorporated in Israel) (Company Registration No. 513970947) RESULTS OF THE SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

All capitalised terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the definitions ascribed to them in the circular to shareholders of the Company dated 7 January 2019.

Pursuant to Rule 704(15) of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) Listing Manual Section B: Rules of Catalist (“Catalist Rules”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Trendlines Group Ltd. (the “Company”) wishes to announce that at its Special General Meeting (the "SGM") held on 13 February 2019, all the resolutions as set out in the Notice of SGM dated 7 January 2019, was duly passed by shareholders of the Company by way of poll. Voting Requirements under Israeli Law Resolutions 1 to 3 as set out in the Notice of SGM require the following to carry the resolutions: (i) A simple majority exceeding 50% of the votes cast (abstentions are disregarded); and (ii) A special majority of votes of the shareholders which satisfies one of the following conditions: (a) such majority includes at least a majority of the shares held by all shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal interest in the resolution, present and voting at such meeting (and without including any abstaining votes); or (b) the total number of shares of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in such resolution voting against the resolution does not exceed 2.0% of the aggregate voting rights in the Company (i.e. 12,174,835 voting ordinary shares). For Resolutions 2 and 3 only, the votes of shareholders with personal interest are counted for the simple majority and are not counted for the special majority requirement. Therefore, the outcome and poll results for (ii)(a) and (ii)(b) above for the resolution as set out in the Notice of SGM differed and both scenarios are presented below. Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice of SGM requires only a simple majority exceeding 50% of the votes cast (abstentions are disregarded). Results of Poll Voting The information as required under Rule 704(15) of the Catalist Rules is as set out below:
