Israel’s bourse is seeking a new chief executive officer after Yossi Beinart resigned for health reasons.

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange announced his departure in a statement on Wednesday, the same day a senior Nasdaq OMX executive said it needed to reform quickly or it might cease to exist. The TASE board will meet on Thursday to appoint a search committee to find a replacement for Beinart.
