Top Alpha Capital S.M. Ltd. Commences Cash Tender Offer for Shares of Metalink Ltd.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / January 13, 2016 / Top Alpha Capital S.M. Ltd., an Israeli corporation, (“Top Alpha”), announced today that it has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to 550,000 ordinary shares, NIS 1.00 par value per share, of Metalink Ltd. (“Metalink” and the “Metalink Shares”) (OTCQB: MTLK) for $1.30 per Metalink Share.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Order are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated January 13, 2016, and the related Letter of Transmittal.

If more than 550,000 Metalink Shares are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Top Alpha will purchase a pro rata number of Metalink Shares from all tendering shareholders, so that Top Alpha would purchase no more than 550,000 Metalink Shares. If less than 550,000 Metalink Shares are validly tendered, but at least 135,000 Metalink Shares are validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, Top Alpha will purchase a pro rata number of Metalink Shares from all tendering shareholders, so that Top Alpha would purchase no more than 135,000 Metalink Shares.

Top Alpha currently owns 670,000 Metalink Shares, representing approximately 24.9% of Metalink’s outstanding shares. If Top Alpha purchases 550,000 Metalink shares in the Tender Offer, Top Alpha will own approximately 45.34% of Metalink’s outstanding shares.

The initial period of the Tender Offer will expire at 10:00 a.m. New York time, or 5:00 p.m. Israel time on February 17, 2016, unless the initial period of the Tender Offer is extended (the “Initial Offer Period”). As required by Israeli law, if prior to the completion of the Initial Offer Period all the conditions of the Tender Offer are satisfied, Top Alpha will provide an additional period of four calendar days during which shareholders may tender their shares (the “Additional Offer Period”). However, shareholders will have no withdrawal rights during the Additional Offer Period.

The Tender Offer is conditioned upon: (1) Metalink Shares representing 5.0% of Metalink’s outstanding shares having been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the completion of the Initial Offer Period, (2) as required by Israeli law, at the completion of the Initial Offer Period, the aggregate number of Metalink Shares tendered in the Tender Offer being greater than the number of MetaLink Shares represented by notices of objection to the Tender Offer, and (3) certain other conditions specified in the Offer to Purchase relating to the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is not conditioned on the receipt of financing or the approval of the board of directors of Metalink.

Top Alpha has retained VStock Transfer LLC to serve as the Information Agent and as the Depositary for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the Tender Offer should be directed to VStock Transfer LLC at 855-9VSTOCK.
