In addition, at the Meeting the Company will report on or discuss certain additional matters as noted below under “ADDITIONAL MATTERS TO BE REPORTED ON OR DISCUSSED.”

Shares represented by properly signed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in the manner directed by the persons designated as proxies.

Note that exchange rates used in this Proxy Statement to convert NIS to dollar amounts are based on the rate of one dollar to 3.36 NIS as of September 4, 2025. This exchange rate may change from time to time.

QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on Thursday, September 25, 2025 (the “Record Date”) have the right to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Meeting. Mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials will commence on or about Friday, September 26, 2025.

On September 4, 2025, the Company had 46,351,888 (forty-six million, three hundred fifty-one thousand, eight hundred eighty-eight) Shares outstanding. Each Share is entitled to one vote on each of the matters presented to our shareholders at the Meeting.

The Meeting will be properly convened with a quorum if at least two (2) shareholders are present in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument, holding or representing, in the aggregate, at least one-third (1/3) of the issued voting Shares. If a quorum is not present within one-half (1/2) hour after the time set for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned and will be reconvened one (1) week later at the same time and place unless other notice is given to the shareholders by the Board. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within one-half (1/2) hour of the time for the adjourned meeting, then any two (2) shareholders who together represent at least ten percent (10%) of the shareholders’ voting power, present in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument, will be considered a quorum.


4



Joint holders of Shares should note that, according to the Company’s Restated Articles of Association, the vote, whether in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument, of the senior of the joint holders of any voted Share will be accepted over any vote(s) of the other joint holders of that Share. For this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the joint holders’ names appear in the Company’s Register of Shareholders.

The approval of each of Proposals 1 and 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power in the Company present at the Meeting either in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument, and voting on such Proposal.

The approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power in the Company present at the Meeting either in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument, and voting on the Proposal, provided that either: (i) such majority includes a majority of the Shares voted at the Meeting by shareholders who are not Controlling Shareholders (as defined below) and do not have a Personal Interest (as defined below) in the approval of the Proposal, disregarding abstentions; or (ii) the total number of Shares voted against the approval of the Proposal by shareholders referred to in sub-section (i) does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.
Under the Companies Law 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), “Personal Interest” means a shareholder’s personal interest in an act or a transaction of a company, including the personal interest of his or her Relatives (as defined below) or of an entity in which such shareholder or his or her Relative is an Interested Party (as defined below). Personal Interest excludes a personal interest arising solely from holding a company’s shares and includes a Personal Interest of any person voting pursuant to a proxy provided to him or her by another person with respect to the proposal, even if the person providing the proxy does not have a Personal Interest. The vote of a person who is voting by a proxy provided to him or her on behalf of another who has a Personal Interest will also be seen as a vote of a person with a Personal Interest, whether the discretion to vote is in the hands of the voter or not.
“Relative” means a person’s (a) brother, sister, parent, grandparent or descendant, (b) spouse, or (c) the spouse’s brother, sister, parent or descendant (or in each case the spouse thereof).
“Interested Party” means any person that either:
(a) holds five percent (5%) or more of an entity’s issued share capital or voting rights;
(b) has the right to appoint a director to an entity’s board of directors or the chief executive officer thereof; or
(c) is a member of an entity’s board of directors or serves as the chief executive officer thereof.
“Controlling Shareholder” means, for purposes of Proposal 2 and elsewhere as specifically referenced in this Proxy Statement, any shareholder who has the ability to direct the Company’s activity, including any shareholder holding 50% or more of the “means of control” of the Company. “Means of control” is defined under Israeli law as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company, or (ii) the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer. In addition, solely for purpose of the voting requirement of Proposal 2 “Controlling Shareholders” includes any shareholder holding 25% or more of the Company's voting rights at the general meeting, so long as there is no other person who holds more than 50% of the voting rights in the Company. For the purpose of this definition, two or more persons who hold rights in the Company, and each of whom has a personal interest in approval of the same transaction by the Company, shall be considered as a single holder.
According to the Companies Regulations (exemptions for companies whose securities are listed for trading on a stock exchange outside of Israel) 5760-2000 (the “Exemption Regulations for Companies Listed Abroad”), by signing and submitting the attached Proxy Card, a shareholder declares and approves that he or she has no Personal Interest in the approval of Proposal 2 on the Meeting agenda, except if such shareholder notified the Company of such Personal Interest in writing. If you believe that you have a Personal Interest in Proposal 2 on the Meeting agenda and you wish to inform that Company of such Personal Interest, you should submit such information in advance of voting to the Company at its registered offices, at Elbit Systems Ltd., Advanced Technology Center, Haifa 3100401, Israel, to the attention of Mrs. Adi Pinchas Confino, Corporate Secretary.

VOTING BY PROXY AND ELECTRONIC VOTING

Shareholders may vote their Shares by attending the Meeting and voting their Shares in person, by completing the enclosed proxy card or a voting instruction form (if applicable), or by casting an electronic vote, as described below.

A form of proxy card for use at the Meeting is enclosed. By appointing a “proxy” or, with respect to “street name” beneficial owners, by returning a properly completed voting instruction form, shareholders may have their Shares voted at the Meeting whether or not they attend. If a properly executed proxy card in the attached form is received by the Company at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Meeting (i.e., before 2:00 p.m. Israel time, on Tuesday, October 28, 2025), the Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in the manner directed by the persons designated as proxies. “Street name” beneficial owners of Shares should return their voting instruction form by the date and time set forth therein. Shareholders who, at the close of business on the Record Date, either (i) hold Shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record that itself is a Company shareholder or (ii) appear on a participant list of a securities depository with respect to Shares, are considered to be beneficial owners of Shares held in “street name.”

Shareholders who hold their Shares in “street name” may either direct the record holder of their Shares how to vote their Shares (by completing a voting instruction form), or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote at the Meeting on behalf of the record holder together with proof of such record holder’s Share ownership on the Record Date. Shareholders who hold their Shares through a member of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”) and intend to vote their Shares at the Meeting in person or by proxy must deliver to the Company, via messenger or registered mail, proof of ownership issued by the applicable bank or broker, confirming their ownership of the Shares as of the Record Date, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Regulations (Proof of Ownership of Shares for Voting at General Meetings), 5760-2000. A shareholder whose shares are registered with a member of the TASE may also direct the relevant TASE member to deliver the ownership certificate to the Company through the Electronic Voting System.

Shareholders are requested to complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card or (as applicable) the voting instruction form, and return them promptly. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy card or voting instruction form as described in this Proxy Statement so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Meeting.

If you receive a proxy card and provide specific instructions (by marking a box on the proxy card) with regard to a Proposal, your Shares will be voted as you instruct. Unless otherwise indicated on the proxy card or in the electronic vote, and to the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange requirements, Shares represented by a properly signed and received proxy card in the enclosed form or in an electronic form will be voted in favor of the Proposals. Abstentions will not be treated as either a vote “for” or “against” a Proposal, although they will be counted to determine if a quorum is present. Thus, if you sign and return your proxy card (or complete your electronic vote) without giving specific instructions with respect to a Proposal, your Shares will be voted in favor of such Proposal.

If you are a “street name” holder and you sign and return your voting instruction form without giving specific instructions with respect to a Proposal, your broker will not be permitted to vote your Shares with respect to such Proposal (commonly referred to as a “broker non-vote”). In such circumstances, your Shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting but will not be considered “present” for the purpose of voting on such Proposal. Such Shares have no impact on the outcome of the voting on such Proposal.
If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form, the persons named as proxies will vote on such matters as instructed.
The Israel Securities Authority (the “ISA”) has set up an electronic voting system for shareholder meetings of Israeli companies whose shares are listed on the TASE via its online platform. Shareholders are able to vote their Shares through the system, following a registration process, no later than twenty-four (24) hours before the Meeting (i.e., before 2:00 p.m. Israel time, on Tuesday, October 28, 2025).


6




Shareholders may revoke any proxy card or electronic vote prior to their exercise by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or a properly signed proxy card of a later date (if received by the Company at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Meeting), or by voting through the electronic voting system on a later date (if done at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Meeting), or by voting in person at the Meeting. If you hold your Shares in “street name,” you may change your voting instructions by following the directions provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee.


Solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail; however, in some cases proxies may be solicited by telephone or other personal contact. The Company will pay for the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding proxy materials to shareholders.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card also constitute a “voting deed” (Ktav Hatzba’a) for the purpose of Regulation 3(c) of the Exemption Regulations for Companies Listed Abroad.

OTHER MATTERS

Currently, the Company is not aware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons designated as proxies in the proxy card intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. One or more shareholders holding at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s total voting rights may present proposals for consideration at the Meeting, by submitting their proposals to the Company at its registered offices, at Elbit Systems Ltd., Advanced Technology Center, Haifa 3100401, Israel, to the attention of Mrs. Adi Pinchas Confino, Corporate Secretary, no later than the close of business on Thursday, September 25, 2025. If the Company determines that a shareholder’s proposal is appropriate for inclusion in the Meeting agenda, a revised agenda will be published by the Company.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

BY CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

As of September 4, 2025, we had 46,351,888 (forty-six million, three hundred fifty-one thousand, eight hundred eighty-eight) Shares outstanding. The following table sets forth specific information as of September 4, 2025, to the best of our knowledge, concerning:

beneficial ownership of more than 5% of our outstanding Shares; and
the number of Shares beneficially owned by all of our executive officers and directors as a group. Shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of September 4, 2025 through the exercise of options under the 2018 Equity Plan Plan or the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Employees (see footnote (4) below) are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all executive officers and Board members as a group.

Name of Shareholder
Number of Shares Beneficially Owned
Percentage of Ownership(1)
Federmann Enterprises Ltd. 99 Hayarkon Street
Tel-Aviv, Israel
19,580,342(2)
42.2%
All executive officers and directors as a group (23 persons)
61,034(3)(4)
less than 1%

(1)    Based on 46,351,888 Shares outstanding as of September 4, 2025.
(2)    Includes 3,836,458 Shares held by Heris Aktiengesellschaft (“Heris”). Heris is owned, directly and indirectly, by Federmann Enterprises Ltd. (“FEL”). FEL is controlled by Beit Federmann Ltd. (“BFL”). BFL is controlled by Beit Bella Ltd. (“BBL”) and Beit Yekutiel Ltd. (“BYL”). Michael Federmann is the controlling shareholder of BBL and BYL. He is also the chair of the board and the chief executive officer of FEL. Therefore, Mr. Federmann controls, directly and indirectly, the vote of Shares owned by Heris and FEL (approximately 42.2% of our outstanding Shares). In addition, Michael Federmann is the trustee of a trust on behalf of his sister, Irith Federmann-Landeau, that holds an indirect non-voting economic interest of approximately 7.4% in our outstanding Shares through an indirect approximately 17.5% non-voting interest in FEL. Michael Federmann and his sons, David (who also serves as chair of the Elbit Systems Board), Gideon and Daniel Federmann, collectively hold an indirect economic interest equivalent to approximately 26.2% of our outstanding Shares, with Michael Federmann holding an approximately 5.2% economic interest, David Federmann holding an approximately 8.4% economic interest, and each of Gideon and Daniel Federmann holds an approximately 6.5% economic interest.
(3)    This amount (i) does not include any Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Michael Federmann or David Federmann as described in footnote (2) above and (ii) includes Shares held by the spouse of a director, but the director disclaims beneficial ownership over the spouse's Shares.
(4)     The Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan for Executive Officers and 2022 Equity Incentive Plan for Employees, as amended from time to time, include a “Net Exercise Mechanism” that entitles the recipients to exercise options for the number of shares determined based on the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares underlying such options over the exercise price of such options, calculated based on the date of exercise. The number of Shares reflected above as owned by all executive officers and directors as a group was calculated based on a hypothetical exercise on September 4, 2025, which is a theoretical date. The number of Shares that will actually be issued will vary, depending on the date of exercise and the market price of the Shares on such date. The aggregate number of options granted to executive officers that are exercisable on or within 60 days following September 4, 2025, is 87,183 options.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE HIGHLIGHTS

We place significant emphasis on our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices, including in the areas of environmental, health and safety; corporate governance, ethics and anti-corruption; fair labor practices and human rights; supply chain compliance; and social responsibility to the communities in which we operate. We conduct our business activities and develop Company policies based on a firm commitment to ethical practices and corporate governance best practices. Our ESG policies are overseen by our Board and managed by our senior management. We establish multi-year ESG-related goals and our ESG activities support our involvement as active members in leading sustainability and ethics organizations. Further information is available in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the ISA on March 20, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”) and in our latest ESG sustainability report, each of which is available on our website at www.elbitsystems.com.

For more information, please refer to our Board skills matrix, available on our website. The 2024 Annual Report, ESG sustainability report and Board skills matrix are not a part of the Proxy Statement.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

None of our directors serves as an executive officer of the Company and a majority of our directors is “independent” as defined in applicable Nasdaq Marketplace Rules (the “Nasdaq Rules”) and under the Companies Law, with such criteria heightened for members of our Compensation Committee and Audit and Financial Statements Review Committee (the “Audit Committee”), which performs the functions of an audit committee under the Companies Law and applicable rules of the SEC. Each of our Board committees is composed exclusively of directors who are independent, including our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee which, among other functions, makes recommendations to the Board of qualified candidates for election or appointment to the Board and periodically reviews Board corporate governance guidelines.

Each of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board has determined that three of the nominees for election as members of the Board (Mr. Ehud (Udi) Adam, Mrs. Tzipi Livni and Prof. Ehood (Udi) Nisan) and both External Directors (Mr. Noaz Bar Nir and Mrs. Bilha (Billy) Shapira, who is nominated for an additional three-year term in Proposal 2 at this Meeting) satisfy the independence criteria under the Nasdaq Rules.

In addition, in accordance with the Companies Law, a majority of the members of our Audit Committee must qualify as “Independent Directors” under the Companies Law, and the Audit Committee must also include all “External Directors” of the Company, one of whom must serve as chair of the Audit Committee. The chair of our Compensation Committee is also required to be an External Director.

Each of the Audit Committee and the Board has determined that Mr. Adam, Mrs. Livni and Prof. Nisan satisfy the criteria of an “Independent Director” under the Companies Law and that the External Directors Mr. Bar Nir and Mrs. Shapira satisfy the independence criteria for External Directors under the Companies Law.

Our independent directors also conduct periodic “executive sessions” without the presence of management and non-independent directors.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Meeting, the following seven individuals, who are not External Directors, are nominated to be elected to the Board: Mr. David Federmann, Mr. Ehud (Udi) Adam, Mrs. Rina Baum, Mr. Michael Federmann, Mrs. Tzipi Livni, Mr. Dov Ninveh and Prof. Ehood (Udi) Nisan.

The Companies Law requires that a person cannot be elected and serve as a director in a public company if he or she does not have the required qualifications and the ability to dedicate an appropriate amount of time for the performance of his or her director position in the company, taking into consideration, among other factors, the specific needs and size of the company.

A general shareholders’ meeting of a company whose shares are publicly traded, at which the appointment of a director is to be considered, cannot be convened unless the nominee has declared to the company that he or she complies with the above-mentioned requirements and provides details of his or her applicable qualifications.

Each of the proposed nominees, Mr. David Federmann, Mr. Adam, Mrs. Baum, Mr. Michael Federmann, Mrs. Livni, Mr. Ninveh and Prof. Nisan, has declared to the Company that he or she complies with the required qualifications under the Companies Law for appointment as a member of the Board, detailing his or her applicable qualifications, and that he or she is capable of dedicating the appropriate amount of time for the performance of his or her role as a member of the Board, taking into consideration, among other factors, the specific needs and size of the Company. In addition, Mr. Adam, Mrs. Livni and Prof. Nisan, each has also declared that he or she complies with the criteria of an Independent Director under the Companies Law.

As mentioned above under “DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE” above, three of these nominees (Mr. Adam, Mrs. Livni and Prof. Nisan) satisfy the independence criteria for board members under the applicable Nasdaq Rules as well as the criteria of an Independent Director under the Companies Law.

The Companies Law generally requires that Independent Directors not serve as directors in a company for more than nine consecutive years. In accordance with the Israeli regulations with respect to “dual-listed” companies (for example, traded on a stock exchange in both Israel and the U.S.), such companies, including Elbit Systems, may elect an Independent Director for additional terms beyond the nine-year period, provided that the audit committee and the board as a whole have determined that, in light of such Independent Director’s expertise and unique contribution to the work of the board and its committees, his or her nomination for an additional term of office is to the best interest of the company.
Prof. Nisan has served as an Independent Director of the Company since November 2016 and is a member of the Board’s Audit Committee. Prof. Nisan is considered by the Board to have accounting and financial expertise. The nine-year term of office of Prof. Nisan expires in November 2025.

The Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Board as a whole discussed Prof. Nisan’s expertise and unique contribution to the work of the Audit and Financial Statements Review Committee and Board. They further considered Prof. Nisan’s extensive understanding of the Company’s activities, his financial and business expertise and his extensive experience serving in significant financial roles throughout his career, including at the national budget department of the Israeli Ministry of Finance and as a member of the board, financial committee and/or investment committee of other public and private institutions and companies.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Board noted recent macro-economic changes affecting the Company, due among other factors to ongoing world-wide conflicts, and in particularly the “Swords of Iron” war, which has widely impacted the Company, its ongoing activities and future prospects. It was further noted that the Company is in a strategic position due to the increased demand for its products and recent Company investments in expanding its production capacity, including the construction of a new munitions production site in Ramat Beka in southern Israel. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Board believe that Mr. Nisan’s understanding of and continued involvement in these endeavors are important and valuable to the Company. Prof. Nisan has also made other unique contributions to the Board, including as a member of its designated pricing committee in connection with the Company’s May 2025 public offering, which raised gross proceeds of approximately $588 million.

Because of his level of professional knowledge and experience and deep understanding of the managerial and strategic objectives and financial developments of the Company, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Board believe that Prof. Nisan is a valuable asset to the Board and will continue to play an important role in implementing the Company’s future plans and meeting its unique challenges. In light of the above, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Board believe that it is advisable and in the best interest of the Company to extend the term of office of Prof. Nisan for an additional year.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have recommended that each of the above-named nominees, Mr. David Federmann, Mr. Adam, Mrs. Baum, Mr. Michael Federmann, Mrs. Livni, Mr. Ninveh and Prof. Nisan, be nominated for election to the Board.
Each nominee so elected as a director will hold office until the close of the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, unless any Director’s office is vacated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law and the Company’s Restated Articles of Association.
In accordance with the Company’s compensation policy, the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief from Related Parties’ Transactions), 5760-2000 and the Israeli Companies Regulations (Relief for Companies whose Securities are Listed on a Stock Exchange outside of Israel), 5760-2000 (collectively, the “Relief Regulations”), the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board have approved compensation to the Company’s current and future directors (including Mr. Michael Federmann, who may be considered a direct or indirect Controlling Shareholder of the Company, and his son, Mr. David Federmann) in accordance with the maximum regulatory rates payable to External Directors in dual-listed companies where the applicable foreign law imposes additional duties or requirements on the independent or External Director beyond those imposed by Israeli law.
As a result, if elected, each of the Company’s Directors would be entitled to an annual fee of NIS 154,945 (equal to approximately $46,115) and a per meeting fee of NIS 4,660 (equal to approximately $1,387), which reflect the current fee levels mentioned above, linked to the Israeli consumer price index. Compensation payments to directors are made either directly to the director or to his or her employing company.
All nominees will continue to be covered by the indemnification letters and exemption letters previously approved by the Company’s shareholders. As required under the Companies Law, the granting of indemnification and exemption letters to Mr. Michael Federmann, who may be considered a direct or indirect Controlling Shareholder of the Company, and his son, Mr. David Federmann, must be re-approved by the Company’s shareholders every three years. At the Annual General Meeting held in August 2023, the Company’s shareholders re-approved the granting of indemnification letters (originally granted in 2011) to Messrs. Michael Federmann and David Federmann, for an additional period of three years commencing on December 1, 2023, and the granting of exemption letters to each of them for an additional period of three years commencing on April 7, 2024.

PROPOSAL 2 – RE-ELECTION OF MRS. BILHA (BILLY) SHAPIRA FOR AN ADDITIONAL THREE-YEAR TERM AS AN EXTERNAL DIRECTOR
Under the Companies Law and regulations promulgated thereunder, each Israeli public company is generally required to appoint at least two External Directors. Among other requirements for public companies such as Elbit Systems, which is considered to have a Controlling Shareholder, a person may serve as an External Director if that person is not a Relative of the Controlling Shareholder of the company and if each of that person’s Relatives, partners and employers, or any person to whom that person is directly or indirectly subordinate, or any entity controlled by that person, did not have, on the date of the person’s appointment or at any time during the two years preceding that person’s appointment as an External Director, any Affiliation (as defined below) with (i) the company, (ii) any entity or person controlling the company on the date of the appointment, (iii) a Relative of the Controlling Shareholder or (iv) any entity controlled by the company or by the company’s Controlling Shareholders on the date of the appointment or at any time during the two years preceding his or her appointment.

Subject to certain exceptions, “Affiliation” means: (i) an employment relationship, (ii) a business or professional relationship maintained on a regular basis (excluding insignificant relationships), (iii) control and (iv) service as an office holder, excluding a director appointed in order to serve as an External Director of a company that is about to offer its shares in an initial public offering. For the definitions of “Relative” and “Controlling Shareholder” under the Companies Law, please see above “– QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS.”
A person may not serve as an External Director if that person or that person’s Relative, partner, employer, any person to whom he or she is directly or indirectly subordinate or any entity controlled by that person, has business or professional relationships with an entity with which an Affiliation is prohibited, even if such relationship is not on a regular basis (other than a negligible relationship). Furthermore, a person who directly or indirectly received compensation for his or her service as a director of a company, other than the compensation permitted for an External Director under the Companies Law, may not serve as an External Director of that company.
A person may serve as an External Director if and so long as (i) no conflict of interest exists or may exist between his or her responsibilities as a member of the board of directors of the company and his or her other positions or business activities, and so long as such positions or business activities do not impair his or her ability to serve as a director, (ii) no director of the company is an External Director of another company in which that person is a director and (iii) the person is not an employee of the Israel Securities Authority or of the TASE.
Any committee of the Board authorized to exercise powers of the Board must include at least one External Director, and all External Directors must be members of the audit and the compensation committees.
In general, at least one External Director must have “accounting and financial expertise” and the other External Director(s) must have either “accounting and financial expertise” or “professional competence.” However, in dual-listed companies such as Elbit Systems, if one or more other directors who meet the independence criteria applicable to members of the audit committee under applicable foreign law (including stock exchange rules) have been determined by the board of directors to have “accounting and financial expertise”, then it is permissible for each of the External Directors to have only “professional competence.” The evaluation of a director’s “accounting and financial expertise” and “professional competence” is made by the board of directors taking into account, among other factors, parameters specified in regulations under the Companies Law. A director has “accounting and financial expertise” if, based on education, experience and qualifications, he or she has a high level of proficiency in, and understands, business accounting matters and financial statements, in a manner that enables him or her to have an in-depth understanding of the company’s financial statements and to stimulate discussion regarding the manner in which the financial data is presented. A director has “professional competence” if he or she has (i) an academic degree in either economics, business administration, accounting, law or public administration, (ii) an academic degree or has completed another form of higher education in the company’s primary field of business or in an area which is relevant to his or her office as an External Director or (iii) at least five years’ experience in a senior position in the business management of a corporation with a substantial scope of business, in a senior position in public service or in the field of the company’s business.
External Directors serve for three-year terms following which they may stand for re-election for up to two additional terms of three years each. Dual-listed companies such as Elbit Systems may elect External Directors for additional terms of up to three years each, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions.

Mrs. Shapira is one of two External Directors of the Company. The other External Director, Mr. Noaz Bar Nir, is not currently standing for re-election and will continue to serve as an External Director until August 20, 2026.
The Companies Law requires that a person cannot be elected and serve as a director of a public company, including as an External Director, if he or she does not have the required qualifications and the ability to dedicate an appropriate amount of time for the performance of his or her director position in the company, taking into consideration, among other factors, the special needs and size of the company. A general shareholders’ meeting of a company whose shares are publicly traded, at which the appointment of a director is to be considered, including an External Director, cannot be convened unless the nominee has declared to the company that he or she complies with the above-mentioned requirements and provides details of his or her applicable qualifications which, in case of an External Director, includes additional independence criteria applicable to service as an External Director.
Mrs. Shapira, the proposed nominee for re-election, has declared to the Company that she complies with the required qualifications under the Companies Law for election as an External Director, detailed her applicable qualifications and stated she is capable of dedicating the appropriate amount of time for the performance of her role as a member of the Board.
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Board have each determined that Mrs. Shapira meets the applicable criteria for External Directors under the Companies Law and that, as mentioned under “DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE” above, she also meets the director independence criteria under Nasdaq Rules. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have each recommended that Mrs. Shapira be nominated for re-election as an External Director for a three-year period.
If re-elected as an External Director, Mrs. Shapira will hold office for an additional three-year period commencing as of November 20, 2025, unless her office is vacated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law and the Company’s Restated Articles of Association. If for any reason she should be unable to serve, another person will be elected in accordance with applicable law.
In accordance with the Company’s compensation policy and the Relief Regulations, and as approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board for all current and future directors, Mrs. Shapira will receive compensation in accordance with maximum regulatory rates payable to External Directors in dual-listed companies where the applicable foreign law imposes additional duties or requirements on the independent or External Director beyond those imposed by Israeli law.
As a result, if elected for a third three-year term as an External Director, Mrs. Shapira will be entitled to an annual fee of NIS 154,945 (equal to approximately $46,115) and a per meeting fee of NIS 4,660 (equal to approximately $1,387) which reflect the current fees levels mentioned above, linked to the Israeli consumer price index.
In addition, if elected as an External Director, Mrs. Shapira will continue to be covered by any D&O liability insurance in effect as of the date of her election and thereafter obtained by the Company from time to time in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy. Also, if elected as an External Director, she will continue to be covered by indemnification and exemption letters as previously approved by the Company’s shareholders.
