Chief Executive Officer s Review Overview Plus500 has made good progress this year as we continued our strategy which helped deliver strong growth coupled with a high dividend yield. We have increased our market share in most jurisdictions in which we operate by attracting a large number of new customers, while also retaining the majority of our existing active customers who continually use our proprietary, easy to use and robust CFD trading platform. Plus500 successfully completed an AIM listing on the London Stock Exchange and became a public company on 24 July 2013. This process has allowed the company to increase its profile and brand awareness amongst both its existing and new customers. The large growth in customers directly contributed to significant growth in revenues, EBITDA and all other significant KPIs. These include: Number of Active Customers 4 : 85,795 (2012: 58,343) Number of New Customers 5 : 56,819 (2012: 37,050) Average Revenue per User (ARPU): $1,325 (2012: $962) Average User Acquisition Cost (AUAC): $632 (2012: $628) Our CFD product portfolio has also increased in 2013 by over 600 new instruments, bringing our total to more than 1,900 instruments, allowing our customers to access a wide breadth of investment alternatives. Against a challenging economic climate, our performance is a reflection of the efforts and commitment of all our employees across the Group. I would like to thank them all for the hard work and I am confident of the future ahead, together. Growth and Development Plus500 offers an international CFD trading platform for retail customers only. The Company has developed its own in-house proprietary product which is now available for PCs, web browsers, smartphones and tablets (ios and Android). The software has evolved to allow customers to trade CFDs in an easy and cost effective manner spread across CFDs on single stocks from the world markets, ETFs, indices, commodities and foreign exchange pairs. The Company has also developed its proprietary online marketing technology, dubbed the Marketing Machine internally, which allows Plus500 to effectively bid on over 1 million key words in search engines (such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!) and acquire new customers in a cost effective manner. With continual optimisation of the marketing return on investment, we see 4 Active Customers: Customers who made at least one real money trade during the period. 5 New Customers: Customers depositing for the first time ever during the period. 4

it as a strong driver for taking further market share in the future. We have also increased our social media exposure and our affiliate program. Although the Group focuses on online marketing, we have also stepped up our offline efforts with a live-action ad which aired mostly on pan-european channels such as Eurosport during Grand Slam tennis tournaments. The Group has maintained its lean cost structure which in turn allows most expenses to be concentrated on our marketing efforts and allow for an attractive price model to our customers. Plus500 has also received a license by ASIC to operate in Australia where we began offering our retail online CFD platform in January 2013. We intend to focus on increasing our market share in Australia in the future as we believe this to be a key growth opportunity. With the successful IPO behind us, the Group saw improvements in acquiring new customers, better churn and improved ROI across all our Key Performance Indicators. ( KPI s ) We expect this positive trend in growth to continue. Markets Plus500 focuses its efforts primarily in its existing markets which comprise of over 50 key countries. Our software is localised in 31 languages providing customers a native platform in their spoken language. The Group s current core market is Europe where over 90% of its revenues are achieved, with the UK being its largest jurisdiction with 15% of its total revenues in 2013. Due to our low cost structure and highly measurable online marketing efforts, the Group can attract customers from countries with a lower GDP as well and maintain its high profitability ratios. Current Trading and Outlook Plus500 had an exceptional 2013 with results significantly exceeding initial expectations. This strong performance further underpins the Board s commitment to pursuing a dividend policy of paying out 50% of net profit and additional special dividends where the capital needs of the business allow. The new financial year has started particularly robustly and we have seen customer trading run rates and all KPIs at levels ahead of our internal forecasts. We will continue to invest in building our presence in current core markets, including the UK, EU and Australia, and to explore opportunities for expansion into new geographies, which remains an important strategic goal of the Group. With the progress made in 2013, and in view of the strong start to 2014, the Board remains confident of delivering further considerable growth in 2014 and beyond. Gal Haber Chief Executive Officer 10 March 2014 5

Financial Review $115.1m Revenue 2012: $56.1m $67.3m EBITDA 2012: $23.2m $50.6m Net Profit 2012: $17.1m $0.47 EPS 2012: $0.17 6

Financial Review An overview of the Group s financial performance is provided in the Chief Executive s Review. The following section provides a more detailed analysis of the Group s financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2013, including a discussion of the KPIs used to monitor and control our business. The Group generates its revenues principally from the dealing spreads on the Trading Platform. In addition, the Group generates revenues from overnight premiums, effectively a financing charge, on certain positions held by customers overnight and gains (offset by losses) on customers trading positions. The Group does not charge customers a commission on trades. 2013 was a record year for Plus500. In 2013, the Company achieved an EBITDA of $67.3 million and revenues of $115.1 million up 190% and 105%, respectively, from 2012. Plus500's total assets grew from $25.3 million in 2012 to $90.1 million in 2013, an increase of 257%, with cash balances increasing to $84.1 million (2012: $22.5 million) and equity of $68.0 million (2012: $11.9 million), representing approximately 75% of the balance sheet. Cash generated from operations was $66.9 million (2012:$23 million), an increase of 191%. Yearly ARPU increased by 38% year-on-year in 2013 driven by several factors including: i) increased brand awareness attracting higher value customers and increasing average deposit sizes and ii) addition of new financial instruments, such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, and several high profile IPOs. Despite significant investment in marketing of $35.9 million (2012: $23.2 million) in the year, the Company still achieved an EBITDA margin of 58% (2012: 41%) due to the automation and improved knowledge of the Group s proprietary Marketing Machine. The stability of the Group has been supported by maintaining a flexible cost structure. The high degree of operating leverage within the business, driven by the efficiency and automation of the Trading Platform, enables the Group to generate a higher average revenue per employee whilst maintaining a relatively and a lower average cost per employee, compared with its peers. The table below shows the consolidated audited results of the Group for the three financial years ended 31 December 2013. 2011 ($ 000) 2012 ($ 000) 2013 ($ 000) Revenue EBITDA Profit before Tax Net Assets 50,028 56,127 115,088 23,743 23,168 67,285 23,051 23,073 67,165 9,422 11,947 68,014 7

Directors Report Plus500 Ltd was incorporated and registered in the State of Israel with registered number 514142140. Activities Plus500 has developed and operates an online trading platform for retail customers to trade CFDs internationally over more than 1,900 different underlying global financial instruments comprising equities, ETFs, foreign exchange, indices and commodities. The Group enables retail customers to trade CFDs in more than 50 countries. The Trading Platform is accessible from multiple operating systems (PCs, web browsers, ios (iphone/ipad) and Android (tablets and smartphones)). The Directors believe that the success of the Group to date has been primarily due to the selfdeveloped, proprietary technology it has developed and continues to develop to support the Trading Platform. The Trading Platform has been designed to be as intuitive and easy to use as possible. The Trading Platform has been localised into 31 languages. The Directors believe that this emphasis on technology, together with the Group s targeted online marketing strategy, has helped to differentiate the Group from its competitors. The Group generates its revenues principally from the dealing spreads on the Trading Platform. Additionally, the Group generates revenues from overnight premiums, effectively a financing charge, on certain positions held by customers overnight and gains (offset by losses) on customers trading positions. The Group does not charge customers a commission on trades. The Group currently conducts operations in the European Economic Area (EEA), Gibraltar, Australia and certain other jurisdictions across Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere. The Group has two subsidiaries which have been granted licences by regulators. In June 2010, the Company's UK subsidiary, Plus500UK, received authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) which regulates its operations in the United Kingdom. Plus500UK also operates in other EEA countries and Gibraltar through a regulatory passporting mechanism. In October 2012, the Company's Australian subsidiary, Plus500AU, received the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) licence which enables it to conduct a financial services business in Australia. Failure to operate in accordance with required authorisations, approvals, licences, permits and/or the regulatory framework as a whole in any jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks. 14

Business Review For the operating and financial review of the business during the year please refer to the Chief Executive Officer s Review on pages 4 to 5 and the Financial Review on page 6 to 8 included within the Annual Report. For future developments please refer to the outlook section on the Chief Executive Officer s review on page 5. Financial The 2013 financial year was a record year for Plus500. Revenues totalled $115.1 million (2012: $56.1 million), representing 105% growth compared to 2012. Particularly pleasing was the growing number of active users and growth in ARPU, up 38% to $1,325 (2012: $962). EBITDA in 2013 was $67.3 million (2012: $23.2 million), an increase of 190%, with EBITDA margins increasing from 41% in 2012 to 58% in 2013. Results have benefited from the scalability of the Group's business model with the combination of revenue growth and further improvements in the operational cost structure driving the excellent performance. 2013 Net Profit After Tax was $50.6 million (2012: $17.1 million), an increase of 196%. Dividend Policy The Group s stated dividend policy is to pay no less than 50% of retained profits in each financial year out as dividends. Therefore, the Board has declared a final dividend of $0.1504 per share which will be paid on 1 May 2014 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 14 March 2014; the shares will be marked ex-dividend on 12 March 2014. The Group also declared $8.0 million in dividends to shareholders during the first half of the year. This represents a total dividend pay-out of $25.3 million, or 50% of net profit for the 12 months ended 31 December 2013. In addition, the Board has declared a special dividend of $0.1369 per share which will be paid on 1 May 2014 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 14 March 2014; the shares will be marked ex-dividend on 12 March 2014. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) KPIs, which are set at Group level, have been devised to allow the Board and shareholders to monitor the Group as a whole, as well as the operating businesses within the Group. The Group has financial KPIs that it monitors on a regular basis at Board level and where relevant at divisional management meetings as follows: Number of Active Customers 6 : 85,795 (2012: 58,343) Number of New Customers 7 : 56,819 (2012: 37,050) Average Revenue per User (ARPU): $1,325 (2012: $962) Average User Acquisition Cost (AUAC): $632 (2012: $628) 6 Active Customers: Customers who made at least one real money trade during the period. 7 New Customers: Customers depositing for the first time ever during the period. 15

Research and Development The Group s trading platform, which acts as a key differentiator and competitive advantage against its peers, has been specifically developed to be as intuitive and user friendly as possible providing customers with real-time prices, allowing users to monitor their open positions and trading activity continuously, execution facilities and a multitude of order types. Customers are able to trade and access all of their account information online through a variety of different channels, which results in increased traffic to the trading platform. As a result of Plus500 s self-developed proprietary technology, the Group pays no external licence fees for its core trading platform technology. This allows the Group to operate without limiting the amount of time that a customer can use a demo account or placing high thresholds on the minimum amount with which a customer can open a real-money trade. The trading platform also provides, free of charge, real-time price and data analysis features to customers, which provides the Group with a significant competitive advantage. The development of the trading platform continues to evolve in order to meet the growing demands of Plus500's active customer base. For example, following the launch of ios 7, the Group immediately released a new interface for users. Plus500 is constantly updating and introducing new financial instruments to its supported portfolio to meet customer demand across the geographies where it operates. The industry-wide trend for trading CFDs on smartphones and tablets continued to gather pace in 2013. Plus500 s mobile platforms for both smartphones and tablets now account for about 50% of revenues and customers. The Plus500 mobile app is consistently the highest ranked in its sector with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 on both Apple s AppStore and Android s Google Play store. It has also received more reviews than competitors. The Group s web trading platform has been updated with the removal of Flash components for usage of HTML5 and Java Script exclusively. This enables it to run optimally on all mobile phones and tablets. In addition, it is in the process of receiving user interface updates for better accessibility. The Group is currently also considering offering native apps for additional platforms such as Windows Phones. Supplier Policy of the Company Group creditors relate mainly to costs associated with marketing, financial information and payment processing services. Due to the nature of these creditors, the Company does not have a specific supplier payment policy. Average creditors days for the year ended 31 December 2013 is 30 days (2012: 30 days). Employees Plus500 is committed to the creation of a work environment in which fairness, trust and individual responsibility are valued. We believe that talented and dedicated employees are our most valuable asset and that everyone should be given an equal opportunity to succeed. The Group is committed to equal opportunity in employment and to creating, managing and valuing diversity in its workforce. 16
