Amiad Filtration Systems Ltd. 
("Amiad" or "the Company") 
 
 
Proposed Acquisition of Arkal Filtration Systems Cooperative 
Agricultural Society Ltd. 
 
 
The Board of Amiad, a producer and global supplier of automated water filters 
and filtration systems for the industrial, municipal and irrigation markets, 
announces that it has signed a non-binding term sheet to acquire Arkal 
Filtration Systems Cooperative Agricultural Society Ltd. ("Arkal") from its 
existing shareholders - Kibbutz Beit Zera and Bermad Industries. The acquisition 
is subject to the signing of definitive agreements, the approval of the relevant 
regulatory authorities in Israel and of the creditors of Kibbutz Beit Zera, and 
the completion of due diligence. 
 
 
Under the terms of the non-binding term sheet, Arkal has agreed to enter into an 
exclusive period of 90 days, to allow for the preparation of definitive 
agreements, receipt of the requisite approvals and a fuller legal and accounting 
due diligence on Arkal to occur. There is no certainty that a transaction will 
be concluded. 
 
 
Rationale for Acquisition 
Arkal is a leading supplier of water filtration solutions, with particular 
presence in the irrigation market. It is expected that the addition of Arkal's 
product range, and sales and marketing infrastructure would considerably enhance 
Amiad's offering in the irrigation market, as well as in the industrial and 
municipal markets. The enlarged group would have a greatly expanded product 
portfolio, geographical spread and sales team. 
 
 
Proposed Terms of the Transaction 
Under the terms of the non-binding term sheet, the consideration for Arkal would 
be satisfied by a combination of cash payment and the issue of new ordinary 
shares of 0.5 NIS, to be finalised on the closing of the transaction. 
 
 
Amiad will provide a further update in due course.
