Dear Sir or Madam,
RE:Immediate Report
Bank Hapoalim B.M. (hereinafter: "the Bank") is pleased to advise, further to
the immediate report published on 3rd March, 2009 (Number 048738-01-2009), as
follows;
On 18th March, 2009 the Bank received the approval of the Supervisor of Banks
for the payment at their scheduled time of interest payments on account of
Subordinated Capital Notes (Series A) which the Bank issued under a prospectus
which was published in November 2001 (hereinafter: "Capital Notes") and on
account of additional subordinated capital notes which were issued by way of
private issues (Series B and C) in the month of February 2004 and the month of
November 2007 (hereinafter: "the Tier I Capital Notes"), notwithstanding that
there may occur the suspensive circumstance according to which during six
consecutive quarters the Bank did not report a cumulative net profit
(hereinafter: "the Suspensive Circumstance").
The Supervisor confirmed that payment of the interest on account of the Capital
Notes and the Tier I Capital Notes, even if there exists the Suspensive
Circumstance, would not affect their inclusion in the Tier II and Tier I capital
of the Bank (as the case may be).
Further to the aforesaid confirmation of the Supervisor, the trustee gave notice
on 19th March, 2009 to the holders of the Capital Notes and the Tier I Capital
Notes that he gives his consent to the payment of the interest on account of the
Capital Notes and the Tier I Capital Notes, even if there exists the Suspensive
Circumstance.
In the light of having received the confirmation of the Supervisor of Banks and
the consent of the trustee as aforesaid, the Bank will make payment in full to
the holders of the Capital Notes and the Tier I Capital Notes of the interest
due to them on account thereof, such payment to be made at the times fixed for
effecting payment of the interest, even if there exists at such times the
Suspensive Circumstance.
Yours faithfully,
Bank Hapoalim B.M.
