STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY The enclosed Statement is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the 'Board') of Electronics Line 3000 Ltd. (the 'Company') for use at the Company's Annual and special General Meeting of Shareholders (the 'Meeting') to be held at 14:30 on Wednesday, October 10, 2012, at the Company's offices at 14 Hachoma Street, Rishon LeZion, Israel or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein. It is proposed that at the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company ('Shareholders') approve the following resolutions: (1) To re-appoint Mr. Moshe Alkelai, Mr. Yigal Fatran and Ms. Mazal Alkelai to continue to serve as directors of the Company until the next Annual General Meeting. (2) To re-appoint the accounting firm of Kost, Forer, Gabbay & Kasierer (Ernst & Young Group), as the Company's auditor until the next Annual Meeting, and to authorize the Board to determine the auditor's fees following recommendation of the Audit Committee, according to the nature and the scope of services given to the Company. (3) To approve that the Company will enter into a non-exclusive distribution services agreement with Risco Ltd. ('Risco') the largest and controlling shareholder of the Company for the provision of distribution services (the 'Agreement') by the Company to Risco. Currently, Risco distributes the Company's products pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between Risco and the Company dated August 12, 2010 that has been authorized by the General Meeting of Shareholders (the 'Existing Distribution Agreement'). The Company requests to enter into an Agreement with Risco, materially identical to the Existing Distribution Agreement. Pursuant to this Agreement, Risco, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to receive from the Company distribution services for the following Territories: a. UK. b. USA + Latin America. c. Far East and Asia Pacific. d. Risco in its sole discretion shall have the right to request to receive Distribution Services from the Compay for other Territories. * Purchase prices will be in accordance with arm's length basis. * Sales Commission to the Company for introduction of new customers to Risco in non-Western European markets. * For sales to new customers in non-Western European countries, which will be introduced to Risco by the Company, Risco will pay the Company a sales commission of 3.5% + VAT of the annual turnover with such customers for a period of 5 years. * This Agreement shall be in effect for a term of 3 years. After the lapse of 2 years from its effectuation date, either party may terminate it on a 6 month notice. The Audit Committee of the Company and its Board of Directors have approved the transaction. (4) To approve an extension to the Existing Distribution Agreement for a 3 years period as of the approval of this General Meeting. The Existing Distribution Agreement determines that it shall be in effect for a term of 5 years, and after the lapse of 2 years from its effectuation date, either party may terminate it on a 6 months notice. However, according to a recent amendment to the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, an extraordinary transaction of a public company with a holder of control which is for a period exceeding 3 years, will need to be reapproved every 3 years. Hence, the suggested resolution. (5) (a) To approve the replacement of the current Directors and Officers liability insurance policies for the Company's Directors and Officers (except for Mr. Moshe Alkelai and Mrs. Mazal Alkelai, the controlling shareholders of Risco, the controlling shareholder of the Company) with directors and officers liability insurance policies of diminished coverage and in consideration for a lower premium. The current D&O insurance for Directors and Officers as approved by the General Meeting on August 12, 2010, covers a total liability of US$ 20 Million, for a current annual premium of US$ 27,000. Renewal of this policy insurance for the same coverage shall cost an annual premium of approximately US$ 29,000. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved, subject to the approval of this General Meeting, to reduce the total liability coverage to US$ 10,000,000 in consideration for an annual premium of US$ 18,300 (the 'Basis Premium'). The period covered by this Resolution will be of five (5) years, as of the date of approval by this General Meeting ('the 'Term'). Annual insurance premium may either increase up to the higher of: 25% over the Basis Premium or the previous year paid premium (b) To approve the replacement of the current Directors and Officers liability insurance policies of Mr. Moshe Alkelai and Mrs. Mazal Alkelai, the controlling shareholders of Risco (the controlling shareholder of the Company), with directors and officers liability insurance policies on the same terms as the
