ELBIT SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES THE RESULTS OF ITS
------------------------------------------
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS HELD ON NOVEMBER 27, 2005
----------------------------------------------------------------
On November 28, 2005, Elbit Systems Ltd. (the "Company") (Nasdaq NM: ESLT)
announced that at its Annual General Meetings of Shareholders (the "Meeting")
held on November 27, 2005 at the Company's offices in Haifa, the proposed
resolutions described in the Proxy Statement to Shareholders dated November 2,
2005 (the "Proxy") were approved by the required majority, as follows:
1. Election of seven directors to the Company's Board of Directors;
2. Appointment of the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2005;
3. Amendment of the Company's Articles of Association. All proposed
amendments were voted on approved by the required majority, with the
exception of the proposed amendment relating to the number of
directors, which was not voted on.
4. Approval of providing Company directors amended letters of
indemnification revised in a manner consistent with the amendment to
the Company's Articles of Association as approved in item (3) above,
and subject to the following two clarifications. First, such amended
letter of indemnification covers events occurring from the date of
grant of the initial indemnification letter, which was approved by the
Company shareholders in December 2001 (the "Initial Indemnification
Date"). Second, in the event it is proposed to indemnify retroactively
a director of the Company or the Company's chief executive officer for
an event that is not covered by letters of indemnification and such
event occurred prior to the Initial Indemnification Date, then such
indemnity will be subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders
at a general meeting, which approval will require a majority similar to
that required when voting on transactions with controlling
shareholders.
