Becker ("Mr. Becker"), constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13G originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 1, 1995 (the "Schedule 13G"). The Schedule 13G relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Electric Fuel Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Item 1(b). Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices: 120 Wood Avenue South Suite 300 Iselin, NJ 08830 Items 4. Ownership. During the months of January and February 2000, Mr. Becker disposed all of the 1,746,904 shares (the "Shares") of the Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by him. Prior to such disposition, the Shares were held in the name of the Becker Family Trust of which Mr. Becker is the sole trustee and sole beneficiary during his lifetime. Such disposition was the result of the sale by the Becker Family Trust of 800,000 of the Shares in a series of transactions on the open market, as well as gifts of a total of 946,904 of the Shares made by the Becker Family Trust to the Newton & Rochelle Becker Family Foundation (the "Foundation"), a foundation controlled by Mr. Becker. Subsequent to such gifts, the Foundation sold all of such Shares in a series of transactions on the open market. As of February 22, 2000, Mr. Becker ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock. Currently, Mr. Becker does not own beneficially any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The Shares are exclusive of 35,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by the Newton Becker Irrevocable Trust No. 1 (the "Irrevocable Trust"), as to which shares Mr. Becker disclaims beneficial ownership. The Irrevocable Trust's beneficiaries are Mr. Becker's children and stepchildren, and its co-trustees are David E. Becker and Bryan Gordon, Mr. Becker's son and stepson, respectively.
