The Newton Becker Irrevocable Trust No. 1 (the "TRUST") is the beneficial owner of 633,350 shares (the "SHARES") of the common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of Electric Fuel Corporation (the "COMPANY"). The Shares represent approximately 4.4% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. The co-trustees of the Trust, David E. Becker and Bryan Gordon, may be deemed beneficial owners of the Shares and possess shared investment and dispositive power with respect to all of the Shares (and together, possess sole investment and dispositive power with respect to all of the Shares). The beneficiaries of the Trust are Mr. Becker, Mr. Gordon and their respective siblings. Mr. Becker and Mr. Gordon are step-brothers. On December 19, 1996, the Trust sold 160,000 shares of Common Stock to Leon S. Gross. Consequently, as indicated above, the Trust now holds 633,350 shares of Common Stock which represents 4.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon the number of shares outstanding as of November 5, 1996, as reported in the Company Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Thus, as of December 19, 1996, the Trust, David E. Becker and Bryan Gordon each ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock. The Shares are exclusive of 1,746,904 shares of the Company's Common Stock held in the name of the Becker Family Trust (the "FAMILY TRUST"), as to which shares the Trust disclaims beneficial ownership. Newton D. Becker (the father and step-father of Mr. Becker and Mr. Gordon, respectively) is the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Family Trust during his lifetime. None of the reporting persons assumes any responsibility for information contained in this statement with respect to the other reporting persons except to the extent set forth in Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
