Applied Materials

Four years after stepping down, Ofer Greenberger has returned as CEO of the Israeli division of Applied Materials, a company described by the New York Times as one of the "most important in the world." With revenue forecasts exceeding $10 billion, Greenberger highlights the pride of local production in Rehovot.

Henry Shaul Schwarzbaum requested that profits from the sale of Applied Materials shares, received via options, be taxed at a rate of 25%. However, the District Court rejected his claim, ruling that the marginal tax rate must apply, as demanded by the tax assessor. The judge noted that Schwarzbaum benefited from the tax deferral under the agreement and cannot now disavow its terms.
