Dear Sirs,
Re: Immediate Report
Bank Hapoalim BM. (the "Bank") respectfully notifies as follows:
In the afternoon hours of April 1, 2009, the Supervisor of Banks informed Bank
Hapoalim BM. that a sum of approximately U.S. $145 million raised by Hapoalim
International N.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank (the "Subsidiary"), in
a non-public issue of subordinated notes, will be deemed as secondary capital of
the Bank.
Prior to receipt of the Supervisor's approval, the Subsidiary issued five series
of unlisted subordinated notes, in a non-public issue under the Global Medium
Term Note Programme (the "Programme"). The Programme was approved by the U.K.
Financial Services Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act. The
Subsidiary's undertakings with respect to each one of the series are backed by
the Bank's guarantee, as specified in the Programme's Offering Circular.
The main terms of the said series of subordinated notes are as follows:

The proceeds of the issue will be deposited at the Bank, on a subordinated
basis, subordinate to other liabilities of the Bank, other than liabilities
which have been or will be ranked pari passu with, or inferior to, the said
subordinated notes.
Yours faithfully,
Bank Hapoalim B.M.
