Such an offer shall be in writing and shall include details as determined by the Company from time to time (the “Offer”). In addition, the Offer shall be simultaneously delivered to the registered office of the Company.
     
  (ii) Each of the Offerees shall be entitled to notify the Offeror, within 30 days as of the receipt of the Offer, of his interest or lack of interest to accept the Offer and to purchase all or any part of the Offered Shares on the terms of the Offer (“Notice of Acceptance”).

In his notice, the Offeror shall specify the number of shares with respect to which no Notice of Acceptance has been received (hereinafter: the “Re-Offered Shares”). Such Offerees shall be entitled to notify the Offeror within three (3) business days of the receipt of such notice regarding their interest to purchase an additional number of shares (hereinafter: the “Additional Notice of Acceptance”).
     
  (v) Should the number of shares with respect to which the aforesaid Offerees have announced their interest in the purchase thereof by means of an Additional Notice of Acceptance exceed the number of the Re-Offered Shares, the Offerees that have submitted an Additional Notice of Acceptance shall receive their portion of the Re-Offered, according to their holdings in the Company (pro-rata) on the date of the acceptance of the Offer.
