Elbit Systems Announces Resignation of its External Director, Moshe Kaplinsky
Haifa, Israel, June 17, 2020 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT and TASE: ESLT) ("Elbit Systems" or the “Company”) announced today
that Mr. Moshe Kaplinsky, who was elected as an External Director of the Company’s Board of Directors in March 2020, has tendered his resignation to the Company. Mr. Kaplinsky indicated that the reason for his resignation was as a matter of caution
to avoid any potential conflict of interests due to his recent nomination as the CEO of Oil Refineries Ltd. (Bazan). The Company has accepted Mr. Kaplinsky’s resignation and thanked him for his contribution during his tenure. The Company has
provided Nasdaq with a notice that it would be temporarily out of compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) requiring that Independent Directors constitute a majority of the Company’s Board. The Company will promptly proceed with the process
of identifying a suitable candidate for election as an External Director and convening a shareholders meeting for his or her election, within the periods set forth in the Companies Law and Nasdaq Listing Rules.
