QUORUM AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 (the "Record Date") have the right to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting, and any adjournments of the Meeting. Malling of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials will be made on or about March 10, 2021. 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 (i) 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."

On February 24, 2021, the Company had forty-four million two hundred thousand one hundred and sixtyfour (44,200,164) Shares outstanding, each giving a right of one vote with respect to each Proposal.

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 time set for 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.

Joint holders of Shares should note that, according to the Company's Articles of Association, the vote, whether in person, by proxy or by a voting instrument, 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 ioint holders' names appear in the Company's Register of Shareholders.

The approval of each Proposal 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, provided that, in the case of Proposals 1, 2 and 3(a), one or both of the following must also occur: (i) the majority includes at least 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 such Proposal, disregarding abstentions; or (ii) the total number of Shares voted against such Proposal by shareholders referred to in the foregoing item (i) does not exceed two percent (2%) of the total voting rights in the Company.

Under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"):

"Controlling Shareholder" means, for purposes of Proposal 1, any shareholder who has the ability to direct the Company's activity (other than by means of being a director or other office holder of the Company), including any shareholder holding 50% or more of the "means of control" of the Company. "Means of control" is defined under Israeli law as either: (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.

"Controlling Shareholder" means, for purposes of Proposals 2 and 3(a), the criteria set forth in the preceding paragraph for Proposal 1, or any shareholder holding, by itself or together with others who also possess a Personal Interest in the approval of the transaction, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting rights of the Company if no other shareholder holds or controls more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights of the Company.

"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 spouse, brother, sister, parent, grandparent, descendant, such person's spouse's descendant, brother, sister or parent, or the spouse of any of the above.

"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

In connection with the above and for the purpose of each of Proposals 1, 2 and 3(a) described in this Proxy Statement, each shareholder who attends the Meeting in person, by a voting instrument will advise the Company or indicate in the proxy card or the voting instrument, as the case may be, whether or not that shareholder is a Controlling Shareholder or has a Personal Interest in the approval of each of Proposals 1, 2, and 3(a), respectively. Failure to advise or indicate as described above will require the Company to assume that such shareholder has a Personal Interest in the approval of each of Proposals 1, 2 and 3(a), respectively, and disqualify such shareholder's vote on each of Proposals 1. 2 and 3(a), respectively. The Company may not assume that a shareholder who signs and returns a proxy card without a specific indication as to the lack of Personal Interest of such shareholder, has no Personal Interest with respect to each of Proposals 1, 2 and 3(a).

VOTING BY PROXY AND ELECTRONIC VOTING

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

A form of proxy card for use at the Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy card are 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 four (4) hours prior to the Meeting, 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 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 as described above), 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.

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 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 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; provided that such Shares will only be counted for purposes of the additional majority requirements of Proposals 1, 2 and 3(a) set forth above, if the criteria relating to Controlling Shareholders and Personal Interest are met.

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 in their discretion on any matters other than the Proposals that may properly come before the Meeting.

The Israel Securities Authority ("ISA") has set up an electronic voting system for shareholders 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 six (6) hours before the Meeting.

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 four (4) hours prior to the Meeting), or by voting through the electronic voting system on a later date (if done at least six (6) 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 solicitation of proxies, including the cost of preparing, assembling 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 Israeli Companies Regulations (Concessions for Companies Whose Shares are Listed on a Stock Exchange Outside of Israel), 5760-2000 (the "Concessions Regulations").

POSITION STATEMENTS

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 businesday, March 10, 2021. 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

The following table shows, as of February 24, 2021, to the best of the Company's knowledge, the number of Shares owned by (i) all shareholders known by the Company to own 5% or more of the Company's Shares and (ii) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group. Shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of February 24, 2021 through exercise of options under the Equity Incentive Plan (as defined 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 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

Federmann Enterprises Ltd.	19,580,342 (2)	44.3%
99 Hayarkon Street
Tel-Aviv, Israel

All executive officers and directors as a group (24 persons)	321,909(3)	0.72%(3)

(1) Based on forty-four million two hundred thousand one hundred and sixty-four (44,200,164) Shares outstanding as of February 24, 2021.
(2) I Includes 3,836,458 Shares held by Heris Aktiengesellschaft (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 Elbit Systems Board and the chair of the chief executive officer of FEL. Therefore. Mr. Federmann controls. directly and indirectly, the vote of Shares owned by Heris and FEL. In addition, Michael Federmann is the trust on behalf of his sister, Irith Federmann-Landeau, that holds an indirect non-voting interest of approximately 7.76% in Elbit Systems' Shares through an indirect approximately 17.5% non-voting interest in FEL. Michael Federmann and his sons, David (who also serves as a member of the Elbit Systems Board), Gideon and Daniel Federmann, collectively hold an indirect economic interest equivalent to approximately 27.4% of our outstanding ordinary shares, with Michael Federmann holding an approximately 7.7% economic interest and each of his sons approximately 6.6 % economic interest. In connection with loans obtained from time to time by FEL from two Israeli banks, FEL has pledged to the banks an aggregate of 3,000,000 Shares as security for the loans.
(3) The amount 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. In addition, the number of Shares beneficially owned reflects outstanding options that were granted to certain Executive Officers under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan for Executive Officers, as approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board and as may be amended from time to time (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The Equity Incentive Plan includes a mandatory "Net Exercise Mechanism" (as such term is defined in the Equity Incentive Plan). Due to the Net Exercise Mechanism, the number of Shares that will actually be owned following the exercise of the options by the Executive Officers cannot be determined at this point.

PROPOSAL 1 - APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S AMENDED COMPENSATION POLICY

As required by the Companies Law, the Company has adopted a compensation policy regarding the terms of office and employment of its "office holders" (as such term is defined in the Companies Law). The members of the Board (the "Directors"), the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and the Company's Executive Vice Presidents (the "EVPs") (the CEO and the EVPs are collectively referred to as the "Executive Officers") are considered "office holders". A compensation policy was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on April 11, 2018, and amended with regards to the Company's D&O insurance policy at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on February 26, 2020 (the "Current Compensation Policy").

Pursuant to the Companies Law, a compensation policy of a publicly traded company such as the Company needs to be periodically reviewed by the compensation committee and the board of directors and needs to be reapproved every three (3) years by (i) the board of directors, following the recommendations of the compensation committee and (ii) by the applicable majority of the company's shareholders. In the event that the compensation policy is not so approved by the shareholders, the board of directors may nonetheless approve it, provided that the compensation committee and the board of directors, following further discussion of the matter and for specified reasons, determine that the approval of the compensation policy is in the best interests of the company.

In determining the Amended Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered various factors, including the Company's global business activities, the competitive environment in which it operates, and the recent changes in such. The Committee and the Board noted the progress made by the Company since the approval of the Current Compensation Policy in 2018.

At the end of 2019, the Company reported a record backlog of approximately \$10 billion, compared to a backlog of approximately \$7.56 billion at the end of 2017 (an increase of approximately 33%). This backlog further increased to \$10.9 billion as of September 30, 2020, providing the Company with good visibility for future revenues. The large backlog reflects marketing efforts that were led by the Company's senior management. The growth in the backlog was also supported by the acquisitions in the period, which acquisitions were also led by senior management.

The amount of revenues in 2019 was approximately \$4.5 billion, growing significantly from annual revenues of approximately \$3.4 billion in 2017 (an increase of approximately 33%). This growth was both organic and includes contribution from acquisitions.

Along with the growth in the business activities, the total number of employees increased from approximately 12,781 at the end of 2017 to approximately16,575 at the end of 2019 (an increase of approximately 30%).

In the first nine months of 2020, the Company's revenues increased by 3%, compared to the first nine months of 2019. During this period the Company also reported improvement in additional financial parameters. This was achieved under senior management leadership despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, including an approximately \$60 million one-time write-off in the third quarter of 2020 relating to the Company's commercial aviation activities. For further information as to the Company's financial parameters in the recent years, please see the Company's presentation as of November 2020, at: https://elbitsystems.com/in-category/investorrelations/presentation-webcasts/

Since the approval of the Current Compensation Policy in 2018, the Company also made significant strategic acquisitions, one of which was the purchase of IMI Systems Ltd. ("IMI") from the Israeli Government at the end of 2018. IMI's acquisition enhanced the Company's portfolio of precision guided munitions as well as active protection systems for ground vehicles, including the market leading Iron Fist system. IMI's profitability in the years before the acquisition was significantly lower than that of the Company's management initiated a five-year turnaround plan to raise profitability levels to those of the Company. Another significant acquisition in this period was the acquisition by Elbit Systems of America, LLC, of the night vision business of L3Harris Technologies in 2019. This business is one of two suppliers of image intensification systems to the US Army and US Marine Corp. and enhances the Company, particularly in the strategically important U.S. market, with synergistic technologies and capabilities.

The Compensation Committee conducted a thorough review of the Current Compensation Policy and evaluated the need for adjustments. The process was carried out with the assistance of both legal and financial experts. and also included a review of benchmark information relating to the executive compensation of peer group companies, based on an analysis made by PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisors Ltd. (PWC Israel) (the "Benchmark Analysis"). The Benchmark Analysis included information relating to six companies with the highest average market cap listed on the TASE TA-35 index that published detailed information regarding their executive compensation, excluding companies from the financial sector and companies with headquarters outside of Israel. In addition, the Benchmark Analysis included information relating to six U.S. publicly traded defense company considers as competitors, also taking into account the fact that approximately 28% of Elbit Systems' revenues in 2019 and approximately 32% of its revenues in the first nine months of 2020, derived from sales to North America. In each case, the Benchmark Analysis included three companies with average market caps higher than that of Elbit Systems and three companies with average market caps lower than that of Elbit Systems. The Benchmark Analysis (including the information regarding market caps) was based on information published for fiscal year 2019. The analysis was made with respect to three components: annual salary (in Israel - cost of salary; and in the U.S. - base salary), annual bonus and longterm incentive for the applicable vesting year.

Comparing the information relating to the actual executive compensation of such peer companies as published for 2019 with the corresponding actual compensation of the Company's Executive Officers as published for 2019, the Compensation Committee and the Board noted that the CEO's total compensation (comprised of the three components mentioned above) was lower than the average and median of the Company's peers both in Israel and in the U.S., with the most significant gap in the long-term incentive component. The Compensation Committee and the Board further noted, based on such comparison, that the total compensation of the Company's EVPs in 2019 (an average of the amounts relating to the Company's four most highly compensated EVPs as set forth in the 2019 Annual Report, defined under "Executive Compensation" below, based on the same three components) was below the average and slightly above the median of the compared Israeli peers, and median of the compared U.S. peers. The Compensation Committee and the Board noted that in light of the comparison group, the parameter of average might be more appropriate for comparison than the median. The Benchmark Analysis was used for the Compensation Committee and the Board's internal review and included further details as to the methodology, which is not detailed in this Proxy Statement.

The Compensation Committee and the Board have determined that the Amended Compensation Policy is desirable, among other factors, in light of:

(a) the Company's unique characteristics as a multi-billion-dollar global technology company that is publicly traded on the NASDAQ and TASE;
(b) the Company's achievements in recent years including strategic acquisitions, growth in revenues and backlog of orders and addressing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic:
(c) the continuous growth of the Company over the years, the increased complexity of its business and the greater responsibilities and duties of the Company's Executive Officers;
(d) the growing competition over talented managers in the technology sector and the Company's need to continue to attract, retain, reward and motivate over time highly skilled individuals with the necessary capabilities to promote creativity, manage the Company's long-term business and worldwide operations and execute the Company's strategy in the best interest of the Company and its employees, shareholders and other stakeholders;
(e) the aim to provide the Company's Executive Officers a balanced compensation package, including competitive salaries, performance-motivating compensation and equity-based incentive programs and benefits, reflecting both short and long-term incentives; and
(f) the proper alignment of the Executive Officers' compensation with the Company's long-term goals and risk management strategy.

After such process and consideration and in view of the gained experience implementing the Current Compensation Policy, the Board, with the recommendation Committee, determined that it is desirable to retain the Current Compensation Policy, with the following amendments:

Variable Compensation Ratio: Pursuant to the Current Compensation Policy, the "Variable Compensation" (cash bonuses and equity-based awards) will not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of an Executive Officer's total compensation package, on an annual basis. In order to allow greater flexibility in structuring the performance-based compensation of the Company's Executive Officers and to further strengthen the alignment with shareholders, the Amended Compensation Policy amends this ratio so that the Variable Compensation will not exceed eighty percent (80%) of an Executive Officer's total compensation package, on an annual basis.

Monthly Base Salary: The Current Compensation Policy establishes maximum monthly gross base salaries for Executive Officers as follows: (i) for the CEO, two hundred thousand shekels (NIS 200,000) (equal to approximately sixty-one thousand two hundred and seventy dollars (\$61,270), with such amount adjusted to reflect any increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (the "CPI"), and (ii) for an EVP, one hundred sixty thousand shekels (NIS 160,000) (equal to approximately forty-nine thousand and twenty dollars (\$49,020), with such amount adjusted to reflect any increase in the CPI.

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded salary costs with respect to the CEO of approximately one million and forty-three thousand dollars (\$1,043,000). As of February 24, 2021, the CEO's monthly gross base salary is approximately two hundred and two thousand, eight hundred shekels (NIS 202,800) (equal to approximately sixty-two thousand one hundred and thirty dollars (\$62,130).

The Amended Compensation Policy raises the maximum monthly gross base salary payable to the CEO to two hundred and fifty thousand shekels (NIS 250,000) (equal to approximately seventy-six thousand five hundred and ninety dollars (\$76,590), with such amount adjusted to reflect any increases in the CPI, and the monthly gross base salary payable to an EVP to one hundred and eighty thousand shekels (NIS 180,000) (equal to approximately fifty-five thousand one hundred and fifty dollars (\$55,150), with such amount adjusted to reflect any increases in the CPL

Exchange rates used in this Proxy Statement to convert NIS amounts to US dollars, are based on the rate of one US dollar equals 3.264 NIS as of February 24, 2021. This exchange rate may change from time to time. Exchange rates relating to costs recorded with respect to the year ended December 31, 2019, are based on the exchange rate of 3.555 which represents the average weighted U.S. dollar - NIS exchange rate for the date of payments for each of the months during 2019.

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that such changes reflect the increased complexity of managing a larger and more diverse business portfolio and the increasing responsibilities of the Executive Officers over the years. They also believe that the Company's ability to attract and retain talented, qualified and experienced managers is essential for its future growth.

The Compensation Committee and the Board considered the continuous growth and success of the Company under the leadership of the Company's President and CEO, Mr. Bezhalel Machlis, the fact that his monthly gross base salary has not changed since 2016 (other than due to increases in the CPI), as well as the fact that under the Amended Employment Terms as proposed under Proposal 2 of this Proxy Statement, the next review of his employment terms will be made three years from the approval of the Amended Employment Terms.

The Compensation Committee and the Board also considered the Company's EVPs represent a relatively small group of senior managers with substantial expertise, most of whom have been employed by the Company for many years. The EVPs' salaries are individually determined taking into account their specific roles, responsibilities, backgrounds and other characteristics. Review of the EVPs' salaries is usually conducted on a periodic basis and changes are made gradually and with the specific approvals as required by law. In 2020, as part of the Company's cost control measures in light of COVID-19, no raises were made to the EVPs' monthly base salaries, and all EVPs, as well as the CEO, voluntarily agreed to a temporary decrease in their compensation (either by reduction of the salary or the number of vacation days).

Annual CEO Bonus: The Current Compensation Policy provides that, with respect to the CEO, the most appropriate quantitative financial objective, determined by the Committee and the Board to most alien the interests of the CEO with the long-term performance of the Company's Non-GAAP Net Profit (as defined below). Accordingly, and as also reflected in the CEO's Current Employment Agreement (as defined below), subject to the entitlement pre-conditions and the claw back provision as set forth in the Current Compensation Policy, the Company will pay to the CEO an annual bonus in an amount equal to four-tenths of a percent (0.4%) of the Non-GAAP net profit attributable to shareholders, as reflected in the Company's annual financial results for the relevant fiscal year (the "Non-GAAP Net Profit"). Furthermore, the Current Compensation Policy sets forth a ceiling amount of one million five hundred thousand dollars (\$1,500,000) for an annual bonus payable to the CEO.

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded bonus costs with respect to the CEO of approximately one million, one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars (\$1,115,000).

The Compensation Committee and the Board determined that, with respect to the CEO, it is appropriate to consider the Operating Cash Flow (as defined below) as a quantitative financial measure in addition to the Non-GAAP Net Profit, in the determination of the CEO's annual bonus, because these two quantitative objectives most closely align the CEO's compensation with the long-term performance of the Company. Accordingly, under the Amended Compensation Policy, subject to the entitlement pre-conditions and the claw back provision as set forth in the Amended Compensation Policy, the Company will pay to the CEO an annual bonus in an amount equal to the aggregate of the following: (i) four-tent (0.4%) of the Non-GAAP Net Profit, and (ii) if both the Operating Cash Flow Goal and the Actual Operating Cash Flow (as both terms are defined below) are positive - onetenth of a percent (0.1%) of the Non-GAAP Net Profit multiplied by the Operating Cash Flow Factor (as defined below). The Amended Compensation Policy also raises the ceiling amount for an annual bonus payable to the CEO to two million dollars (\$2,000,000) ("Maximum CEO's Annual Bonus").

The "Operating Cash Flow Factor" is defined as the amount of net cash provided by operating activities (the "Operating Cash Flow") as reflected in the Company's annual financial results for the relevant fiscal year (the "Actual Operating Cash Flow"), divided by the Operating Cash Flow in Elbit's annual budget as approved by the Board for such fiscal year (the "Operating Cash Flow Goal").

The Compensation Committee and the Board considered the Company's ambitious internal targets for growth and operational improvement as well as the feedback from the Company's shareholders, leading to the introduction of an additional metric which reflects the Company's emphasis on the cash flow parameter, in addition to the profit parameter. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that adding the operating cash flow metric and increasing the annual bonus's ceiling will together create a proper incentive for the CEO to meet the Company's goals and an alignment of pay with performance and shareholder value. The Compensation Committee and the Board also noted that the CEO's annual bonus is determined in accordance with clear financial parameters rather than on the Board's general discretion.

Special Bonus: Pursuant to the Current Compensation Policy, the Company may, with the approval of the Compensation Committee and the Board, grant a special bonus to an EVP for special achievements based on quantitative criteria. The amount payable as a special bonus may not exceed, for an individual EVP, the higher of (i) one percent (1%) of the added value generated to the Company in light of the EVP's contribution as reflected from a valuation conducted by the Company or (ii) twelve (12) monthly base salaries. The Current Compensation Policy also provides that the aggregate amounts payable to an EVP as special bonus and managerial evaluation bonus (as such terms are defined in the Current Compensation Policy) will not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to fifteen (15) monthly base salaries.

The Amended Compensation Policy provides that the Company may, with the approval of the Compensation Committee and the Board, grant a special bonus to an Executive Officer, meaning either an EVP or the CEO, for special achievements based on quantitative and/or non-quantitative criteria. The amount payable as a special bonus may not exceed, on an annual basis, for an individual Executive Officer of (i) one percent (1%) of the added value generated to the Company in light of the Executive Officer's contribution as reflected from a valuation conducted by the Company or (ii) twelve (12) monthly base salaries.

Also, under the Amended Compensation Policy, a special bonus may be granted to any Executive Officer in addition to an annual bonus and/or a managerial evaluation bonus (as such terms are defined in the Amended Compensation Policy), provided that on an annual basis (a) the aggregate amounts payable to an EVP as annual bonus, managerial evaluation bonus and special bonus will not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to fifteen (15) monthly base salaries and (b) the Variable Compensation of the CEO will not exceed the aggregate of the Maximum CEO's Annual Bonus and Maximum CEO's Equity Amount (as defined below). In addition, a special bonus to the CEO based on non-quantitative criteria will not exceed (a) on an annual basis, an amount equal to the higher of three (3) monthly base salaries or 25% (twenty-five percent) of the Variable Compensation and (b) for every period of three calendar years, beginning in 2021, an aggregate amount equal to twelve monthly base salaries (i.e., 2021 -2023; 2024 - 2026; etc.).

The Compensation Committee and the Board considered, among other factors, the need to maintain a managerial tool for incentivizing excellence, subject to specific approvals as required by law, as well as the limited grants of special bonuses during the period of the Current Compensation Policy. It was also noted that certain special achievements of Executive Officers may not be rewarded under their respective annual bonuses. Specifically, certain special achievements of the CEO that may generate value to the Company may not be rewarded as part of the CEO's annual bonus as such bonus is based on the Company's Non-GAAP Net Profit, which factors out events that that are not considered to be part of the Company' regular ongoing business and core operating results.

The Compensation Committee and the Board also considered the market practice in Israel, where various compensation policies allow the grant of special bonuses to CEOs. It was emphasized that any grant of a special bonus to the CEO will be subject to specific approvals under the Companies Law and that such grant will not increase the ceiling of the CEO's Variable Compensation (comprised of the Maximum CEO's Annual Bonus and the Maximum CEO's Equity Amount).

Equity-Based Compensation:

Equity in Start-up Entities

The Current Compensation Policy includes provisions allowing the Company to grant its Executive Officers. with the approval of the Compensation Committee and the Board, shares and/or options in start-up entities held by the Company, with regards to their activities in connection with such entities.

The Amended Compensation Policy no longer includes such provisions allowing the grant of shares and/or options in such start-up entities to the Executive Officers.

Company Equity

The Current Compensation Policy provides that the aggregate value of the benefit embedded in the granted equity-based awards, calculated in acceptable valuation method (such as the Monte Carlo, Black-Scholes and Binominal options pricing models), at the date of grant, will not exceed: (i) with respect to the CEO nine hundred thousand dollars (\$900,000) per year, and (ii) with respect to an EVP - five hundred thousand dollars (\$500,000) per year.

The Amended Compensation Policy amends the aforementioned amounts so that the aggregate value of the benefit embedded in the granted equity-based awards, calculated in acceptable valuation method (such as the Monte Carlo, Black-Scholes and Binominal options pricing models), at the date of grant, will not exceed:(i) with respect to the CEO - one million eight hundred thousand dollars (\$1,800,000) per year (the "Maximum CEO's Equity Amount"), and (ii) with respect to an EVP - nine hundred thousand dollars (\$900,000) per year.

In the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded stock options costs with respect to the CEO of approximately seven hundred sixty-three thousand dollars (\$763,000).

In approving the changes in respect of the equity-based awards, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered among other things the ongoing investor feedback and the Company's goals to (a) enhance alignment between the Executive Officers' interests and the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders, and (b) strengthen the retention and motivation of Executive Officers over the long term. The Compensation Committee and the Board also took into consideration (i) the fact that, according to the Amended Compensation Policy (as well as the Current Compensation Policy), during its term, the maximum dilution as a result of equity-based awards granted to Executive Officers under any equity-based compensation plan of the Company will not exceed three percent (3%) of the Company's issued and outstanding share capital, on a fully-diluted basis, and (ii) that the existing Equity Incentive Plan includes a mandatory "Net Exercise Mechanism" under of underlying shares to be issued upon exercise of options reflects only the benefit amount embedded in the option. It was further considered that the Amended Compensation Policy provides for a gradual vesting period of a minimum of five years from the respective grant, thus strengthening the retention effect.

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the proposed increase in the limits for equity-based awards is required in in order for the Company to be competitive and properly equipped to attract and maintain qualified and experienced Executive Officers, who can continued growth and success of the Company. They also considered the Benchmark Analysis and the fact that grants of equity in start-up entities held by the Company will no longer be permitted under the Amended Compensation Policy. The Compensation Committee and the Board also noted that in 2018, Executive Officers of the Company, including the CEO, were granted Options under the Plan, with a vesting period of five years. Therefore, in case of an additional grant of Options within the remaining vesting period, the value of the benefit embedded in the Options granted in 2018 will be added to the value of the benefit embedded in the additional Options. For this reason, an increase of the limits of equity-based awards is also required.

Exemption: The Amended Compensation Policy authorizes the Company, subject to applicable law and the Company's Articles of Association, to exempt our Executive Officers and Directors, from liability for violating their duty of care towards the Company. However, such exemption will not apply with respect to any decision or transaction in which a Controlling Shareholder, Executive Officer or Director of the Company (even a different one than the one who is exempted) has a personal interest.

The Current Compensation Policy does not allow the Company to grant such an exemption to our Executive Officers and Directors; however, our Articles of Association do permit the grant of such exemption. For additional details regarding the Exemption Letters, see Proposals 3(a) and 3(b) to this Proxy Statement and Exhibit B attached hereto.

Insurance: Under the Current Compensation Policy, the Company is entitled to purchase directors and officers liability insurance for our Executive Officers and Directors. The coverage limit under each such insurance policy that is purchased by the Company may not exceed two hundred million dollars (\$200,000,000) and the annual premium to be paid by the Company may not exceed three million dollars (\$3,000,000). The Amended Compensation Policy removes the annual premium limitation under which the Company may purchase such insurance policies.

The Company was advised by its insurance consultant that, due to general changes in the insurance market, there has been a significant increase in the premiums for policies of D&O liability insurance. As a result, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on February 26, 2020, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the compensation policy increasing the maximum annual premium to be paid by the Company under each D&O insurance policy to three million dollars (\$3,000,000). Since the Company is advised that changes in the general insurance market are ongoing, and after considering the market practice, the Compensation Committee and the Board believe it is advisable to remove the annual premium limitation from the Amended Compensation Policy, in order to allow the Company flexibility in the renewal/purchase of its D&O insurance policies from time to time, provided that the annual premium is in accordance with the market conditions at the date of renewal/purchase and it is in an amount that is not material for the Company.

The Compensation Committee and the Board determined it is advisable to retain all other provisions of the Current Compensation Policy. The above is a brief overview of the amendments in the proposed Amended Compensation Policy. Further details regarding the various components and principles are detailed in the Amended Compensation Policy, which is attached as Exhibit A hereto and prevails in case of any contradiction with the description in this overview.

In light of all of the above, the Compensation Committee and the Board, in their respective decisions, determined that the Amended Compensation Policy complies with the Company's strategies, goals and risk management principles.

Based upon the above determination, the Board, with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the Amended Compensation Policy.

If the Amended Compensation Policy is approved, then according to the Companies Law, the Amended Compensation Policy will be in effect as of the date of its approval for a three (3)-year period thereafter or as otherwise may be required by the Companies Law.

At the Meeting, the Board will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

"RESOLVED, that the Amended Compensation Policy of the Company substantially in the form of Exhibit "A" attached to the Proxy Statement, be approved."

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of this resolution.

PROPOSAL 2 - APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY'S PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Mr. Bezhalel Machlis has served as the Company's President and CEO since 2013, under a personal employment agreement for a three-year period, ending on March 31, 2016. On March 8, 2016, the Company's shareholders approved the extension of the personal employment agreement of Mr. Machlis, effective from April 1, 2016 (the "Current Employment Agreement").

From 2008 until 2012, Mr. Machlis served as executive vice president and general manager - land and C4I, after serving as corporate vice president and general manager - land systems and C41 since 2004. In 2003, he served as corporate vice president and general manager - ground, C41 and battlefield systems. From 2000 until 2002, he served as vice president - battlefield and information systems. Mr. Machis joined Elbit Ltd. in 1991 and held various management positions in the battlefield and information systems area. Prior to that, he served as an artillery officer in the IDF, where he holds the rank of colonel (reserves). Mr. Machlis holds a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering and a bachelor of arts degree in computer science from the Israel Institute of Technology (the Technion) and a MBA from Tel-Aviv University. He is a graduate of Harvard University Business School's Advanced Management Program.

Pursuant to the Companies Law, any arrangement between a publicly traded company and its general manager in relation to the terms of office and employment of the general manager, that conforms with the compensation policy of that company, is subject to the compensation committee, the board of directors and the applicable majority of the company's shareholders. Mr. Machis' position meets the definition of general manager under the Companies Law. In accordance with the Companies Law, in the event the terms of the amended employment agreement of Mr. Machlis as the Company's President and CEO (the "Amended Employment Agreement") are not so approved by the shareholders, the Board may nonetheless approve them, provided that the Compensation Committee and the Board, have determined based on detailed reasoning and a re-evaluation of the matter, that the proposed Amended Employment Agreement is in the best interests of the Company despite the opposition of the shareholders.

The Company's Compensation Committee and the Board, approved (subject to the approval of the Amended Compensation Policy), the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement, as set forth below, and recommended that the Amended Employment Agreement be approved by the Company's shareholders.

In making their recommendation to approve the Amended Employment Agreement, the Compensation Committee and the Board considered, among other factors, (a) the Amended Employment Agreement with the provisions of the Company's Amended Compensation Policy, as recommended for approval in Proposal 1 of this Proxy Statement and the rationales raised in connection therewith; (b) the Benchmark Analysis and fact that the CEO's employment terms have not changed since 2016 and the fact that, according to the Amended Employment Agreement, the next review of the CEO's employment terms will be made three years following the approval of the Amended Employment Agreement; (c) the need to link the CEO's compensation and performance targets, which are aligned with the Company's business strategy and the interests of its shareholders, with the responsibilities and duties to be performed by the CEO; (d) the growth and profitability of the Company under the leadership of the CEO; and (e) the Company's unique characteristics as a multi-billion-dollar global technology company operating in the field of development, production and enhancement of sophisticated defense, homeland security and commercial systems, as well as a company that is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and on the TA-35 Index on the TASE.

The Compensation Committee and the Board further considered the qualities, skills, background, experience, business responsibilities and past performance of Mr. Machlis, and emphasized his successful leadership of the Company during his tenure during which the Company has grown and become more complex, and has also faced new challenges and risks related to COVID-19. In this regard, reference was made to the fact that as part of the cost control measures taken by the Company in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Machlis' compensation was temporarily reduced as mentioned under Proposal 1 of this Proxy Statement, although as the Company's President and CEO, his responsibilities, tasks and engagement increased. The Committee and the Board believe that it is highly important for the Company to maintain a competitive compensation package for the Company's President and CEO, that will (i) be linked to the Company's achievements, (ii) promote long-term retention, and (iv) create an incentive to continue leading the Company to achieve new goals.

Following such consideration, the Compensation Committee and the Board determined that the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement are consistent with the Amended Compensation Policy and align with the Company's strategy.

As stipulated in the Amended Employment Agreement, the CEO's terms of employment will be discussed every three years, and any amendment thereof will be subject to all necessary approvals.

The following are the material amendment to the Amended Employment Agreement of Mr. Machlis as the President and CEO of the Company:

Monthly Base Salary: Under the Current Employment Agreement, Mr. Machis is entitled to a gross monthly salary of one hundred ninety-eight thousand shekels (NIS 198,000) (equal to approximately sixty thousand six hundred and sixty dollars (\$60,660), linked to the increase in the CPI published on April 15, 2016 in comparison to the CPI published on January 15, 2016. The salary is updated once every 12-month period, starting from April 1, 2017 in accordance with the increase in the CPI, provided that, unless otherwise may be permitted under any future compensation policy, the Compensation Committee has approved, prior to any such update, that the update complies with the applicable compensation policy.

Under the Amended Employment Agreement, Mr. Machlis will be entitled, starting from the salary for April 2021, to a gross monthly salary of two hundred forty-three thousand shekels (NIS 243,000) (equal to approximately seventy-four thousand four hundred and fifty dollars (\$74,450), linked to the increase in the CPI published on March 15, 2021 in comparison to the CPI published on January 15, 2021. The salary will be updated once every 12-month period, with the first update to be made with respect to the salary of April 2022, in accordance with the increase in the CPI, provided that, unless otherwise may be permitted under any future compensation policy, the Compensation Committee has approved, prior to any such update complies with the applicable compensation policy.

Annual Bonus: The Current Employment Agreement provides that subject to the entitlement pre-conditions and the claw back provision as set forth in the Company's compensation policy, Mr. Machlis will receive an annual cash bonus, for each calendar year, in an amount equal to four-tenths of a percent (0.4%) of the Non-GAAP Net Profit, with a ceiling amount for the annual bonus payable to Mr. Machlis of one million five hundred thousand dollars (\$1,500,000).

The Amended Employment Agreement provides that subject to the entitlement pre-conditions and the claw back provision as set forth in the Company's compensation policy, Mr. Machlis will receive an annual cash bonus for each calendar year starting with calendar year 2021, in an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) four-tenths of a percent (0.4%) of the Non-GAAP Net Profit, and (ii) in case both the Operating Cash Flow Goal and the Actual Operating Cash Flow are positive - 0.1% of the Non-GAAP Net Profit multiplied by the Operating Cash Flow Factor, with a ceiling amount for an annual bonus payable to Mr. Machlis of two million dollars (\$2,000,000).

Special Bonus: The Current Employment Agreement does not allow the Company to grant Mr. Machlis a special bonus. The Amended Employment Agreement allows for the Company, subject to requisite approvals under law, of a special bonus to Mr. Machlis for special achievements based on quantitative and/or nonquantitative measures to be determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board. The amount payable as a special bonus may not exceed the higher of (i) one percent (1%) of the added value generated to the Company in light of Mr. Machlis' contribution as reflected from a valuation conducted by the Company or (ii) twelve (12) monthly base salaries.

Under the Amended Employment Agreement, a grant of a special bonus to Mr. Machlis is also subject to the following conditions: (i) on an annual basis, the Variable Compensation of the CEO will not exceed the aggregate of the Maximum CEO's Annual Bonus and one million eight hundred thousand dollars (\$1,800,000); and (ii) a special bonus to M. Machlis based on non-quantitative criteria will not exceed (a) on an annual basis, an amount equal to the higher of three monthly base salaries or 25% of the Variable Compensation and (b) for every period of three calendar years, beginning in 2021, an aggregate amount equal to twelve monthly base salaries.

Equity-Based Compensation: According to the Current Agreement, in case the Company adopts at any time after the effective date of the Current Agreement, a new employee option plan or a new phantom option plan for office holders (as defined in the Company will grant Mr. Machlis, subject to any approval required by applicable law, up to 15% of the entire amount of the options and/or phantom units (as the case may be) provided under such plan(s).

The Amended Employment Agreement replaces such provision entitling Mr. Machlis, subject to the required approvals under law and the Company's compensation policy, after the Amended Employment Agreement comes into force, to a one-time grant of one hundred fifty thousand (150.000) options to purchase the Company's Shares in the framework of the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Options").

Accordingly, subject to approval of the Amended Employment Agreement, the CEO will be granted one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) Options. This grant was approved by the Board on February 1, 2021 (the "Date of the Board's Resolution"), following approval of the Compensation Committee, and is subject to the approval of the Amended Compensation Policy. The main terms of the grant are as follows:

Type - The Options are exercisable using a "Net-Exercise Mechanism." The Options will be granted pursuant to the terms of the capital gains route under Section 102 of The Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961, as amended from time to time (the "Ordinance"), which includes, among other things, a requirement that the Options and the underlying Shares be held by a trustee with lock-up conditions as set forth in the Ordinance.

Grant Date - In accordance with the Amended Compensation Policy and Equity Incentive Plan, the grant date of the Options (the "Grant Date") will be the later of (i) the Date of the Board's Resolution and (ii) the date on which the required corporate approvals were obtained.

Exercise Price - In accordance with the provisions of the Amended Compensation Policy and the Equity Incentive Plan, the exercise price of an Option is one hundred thirty-four cents (\$134.34), which is the higher of (a) the average of the closing prices of a Share on the TASE during the period of thirty (30) trading days prior to the Date of the Board's Resolution and (b) the closing price of a Share on the TASE on the last trading day preceding the Date of the Board's Resolution. The exercise price as aforesaid is denominated in U.S. Dollars, calculated as set out in the Equity Incentive Plan.

Vesting - The Options will vest gradually over a five (5)-year period: forty percent (40%) thereof will vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date and the remaining sixty percent (60%) in three (3) tranches of twenty percent (20%) each, will vest on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary, respectively, of the Grant Date.

Expiry Date - In accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan, the expiry date of the Options will be sixty-three (63) months after the Grant Date.

Value of Benefit- The value of the benefit embedded in the Options on the Date of the Board's Resolution, calculated in accordance with "Black-Scholes" valuation method, is approximately eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars (\$870,000) per year, for a period of five years.

Other Terms - The Options are subject to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, which sets forth customary terms such as adjustments for capital modifications (reverse stock split, etc.). Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan the vesting of the Options will be accelerated in case the CEO's employment is terminated by the Company without cause within a period of twelve (12) months following any change of control over the Company. The Equity Incentive Plan also allows, subject to approvals by the Compensation Committee and the Board, acceleration, continued vesting and exercisability of the Options, as well as post-termination exercise periods, in case of termination of employment not for cause, or as a result of death or disability.

The last time Mr. Machlis was granted options to purchase Shares was in 2018, as approved by the Company's shareholders at the Extraordinary and Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on October 18, 2018.

Exemption: According to the Amended Employment Agreement, subject to the provisions of and required approvals under the applicable law, the Company's policies relating to the grant of exemptions from liability of office holders will apply to Mr. Machlis. The Current Employment Agreement does not address such exemption policies. For additional details regarding the Proposal to grant an Exemption Letter to the CEO see Proposal 3(a) to this Proxy Statement and Exhibit B attached hereto.

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the Amended Employment Agreement reflects the appropriate compensation for a leading CEO of a global technology company, the size of the Company, considering the increased complexity of managing its business and its recent challenges and achievements. The Compensation Committee and the Board determined that in light of Mr. Machlis' key role in the Company's operation, it is in the best interests of the Company to approve the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement in order to retain Mr. Machlis as its CEO for the future success of the Company. The Compensation Committee and the Board emphasized that during his tenure as President and CEO of the Company, Mr. Machlis has successfully led the Company and strengthened its business and that considering, inter alia, the size of the scope, complexity and nature of its operations, the complexity of the office and the degree of responsibility imposed on the President and CEO, the terms of the Amended Employment Agreement of Mr. Machlis are beneficial to the Company and are reasonable under the circumstances and aligned with the Company's goals as set forth in the Amended Compensation Policy.

At the Meeting, the Board will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

"RESOLVED, that subject to the approval of the Amended Compensation Policy, the Amended Employment Agreement of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bezhalel Machiis, be approved."

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of this resolution.

PROPOSAL 3- APPROVAL OF THE PROVISION OF EXEMPTION LETTERS TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY

The Companies Law and our Articles of Association authorize us, subject to the receipt of requisite corporate approvals and certain conditions and limitations, to agree to exempt our Executive Officers and Directors, from any liability to the Company attributed to damage caused by a breach of the Executive Officer's or Director's duty of care owed to the Company. According to the Companies Law, the provision letters to the CEO of a company or members of the board of directors of a company requires the approval of the company's compensation committee, the board of directors and the applicable majority of the company's shareholders. Furthermore, according to the Companies Law, the provision of exemption letters to a director that may be considered a direct or indirect controlling shareholder of that company, or his or her relative, requires re-approval every three vears by the company's compensation committee, the board of directors and the applicable majority of the company's shareholders.

The Exemption Letters proposed to be provided by the Company in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, contain the Company's undertaking, subject to any applicable law and the Company's Articles of Association, to exempt the Executive Officers and Directors of the Company from violations of such Executive Officers' and Directors' duty of care to the Company, provided that an exemption will not apply to a decision or transaction in which a controlling shareholder, Executive Officer or Director of the Company (even a different one than the one who is exempted) has a personal interest.

The Company's Compensation Committee and the Board approved (subject to the approval of the Amended Compensation Policy) the provision of Exemption Letters to the current and future Directors of the Company, including to Mr. M. Federmann, who may be considered a direct on indirect controlling shareholder of the Company, and to his son, Mr. D. Federmann, as well as the provision of Exemption Letters to current and future Executive Officers of the Company who are not members of the Board, on the basis that (i) the Exemption Letters are in the best interests of the Company, as they generally assist the Company in attracting and retaining qualified Directors and Executive Officers, and (ii) the provision of such letters to Directors and Executive Officers is a common practice among companies similar to the Company. With respect to the grant of such Exemption Letters to Mr. M. Federmann and Mr. D. Federmann, the Compensation Committee and the Board also considered the fact that the terms and conditions of the Exemption Letters are identical to the terms of the exemption letters to be provided to all other Directors of the Company.

At the Meeting, the Board will propose that the following resolution be adopted:

"RESOLVED, that

(a) subject to the approval of the Amended Compensation Policy, the provision, by the Company, of Exemption Letters, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached to the Proxy Statement, to Mr. B. Machlis, Mr. M. Federmann and Mr. D. Federmann, be approved.
(b) subject to the approval of the Amended Compensation Policy, the provision, by the Company, of Exemption Letters, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached to the Proxy Statement, to current and future Directors of the Company who are not direct controlling shareholders of the Company or relatives thereof, be approved."

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval of this resolution.

Overview and Objectives

Introduction

Elbit Systems Ltd. ("Elbit" or the "Company") is an international high technology company with headquarters in Israel, engaged in a wide range of defense, homeland security and commercial programs throughout the world, operating businesses in Israel, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Approximately 80 75% of Elbit's revenues derive from international sales. Elbit's major customers are governmental agencies as well as major global companies engaged in the supply of defense, homeland security and commercial aviation systems to governmental agencies and platform manufacturers. Elbit's main competitors are international global companies based in Israel, the U.S. and Europe.

This document ("Compensation Policy" or "Policy"), sets forth the Compensation Policy for Elbit's Executive Officers and Directors, in accordance with the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law").

For purposes of this Policy, "Executive Officers" shall mean Elbit's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Elbit's Executive Vice Presidents ("EVPs"), who are "office holders" as such term is defined in Section 1 of the Companies Law, but excluding, unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, the members of Elbit's Board of Directors (the "Directors" and the "Board", respectively).

Appropriate and balanced compensation are key components of Elbit's overall human capital strategy to attract, retain, reward and motivate highly skilled individuals to act in the Company, including its shareholders and other stakeholders and assist Elbit in reaching its business and financial long-term goals.

In preparing this Compensation Policy, the Compensation Committee and the Board, using the assistance of external advisors, have taken into account, among other factors:

· Elbit's unique characteristics as a Company operating in the field of development, manufacturing and enhancement of defense and other high technology systems, and as a Company which is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, as well as on the TA-35 index on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange;
· The qualities, skills, background, experience, business responsibilities and past performance of the current Executive Officers as well as the qualities, skills, background experience and other parameters that Elbit's deems appropriate for any new Executive Officer;
· The terms of the employment agreements and arrangements with the Company's current Executive Officers.

This Compensation Policy shall apply to compensation agreements entered into by the Company with an Executive Officer or a Director following approval of the Policy as required by the Companies Law and will continue to be in effect until the Policy's expiration in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law. This Compensation Policy is not intended to affect current agreements nor affect obligating customary practices (if applicable) between the Company and its Executive Officers or Directors as such may exist prior to the approval of this Compensation Policy.

The Compensation Committee and the Board shall periodically review and reassess the adequacy of this Policy to ensure that its provisions and implementation are aligned with Elbit's compensation philosophy and regulatory requirements.

Elbit's Values

Elbit is an international high technology company engaged in a wide range of programs throughout the world, aspiring to be a world leading source of innovative technology-based systems for diverse defense and commercial applications.

Throughout the course of its business, Elbit follows its guiding values of integrity, excellence, innovation, leadership, teamwork and synergy. These values enable Elbit to foster an environment that nurtures innovation, creativity and technological leadership, enabling Elbit to thrive as a leading company in its areas of operation, developing and manufacturing best in class systems and maintaining customer satisfaction.

Elbit's values caused Elbit to emphasize the welfare of its employees and their importance to Elbit's success, including its Executive Officers, since the Executive Officers are tasked with leading the implementation of the Company's strategy and driving its day-to-day behavior and decisions. Elbit believes that excellent people are the key to achieving its vision and therefore employs a world-class, motivated, team-spirited workforce, creating a dynamic atmosphere in which employees may flourish and reach their highest potential.

Compensation Objectives

The Compensation Policy, as approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, is a reflection of the longtime practices and strategy of Elbit and is intended to align with Elbit's strategy to attract, motivate and retain highly experienced personnel who will provide leadership for Elbit's success and act in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders while supporting a performance culture that is based on merit, differentiates and rewards excellent performance, while recognizing Elbit's core values, including the value of integrity and ethics of Elbit's management personnel. To that end, this Policy is designed, among other purposes:

· To promote attraction, retention and motivation of Executive Officers: Elbit competes with local and global companies to attract and retain highly skilled professionals with the necessary capabilities to promote creativity, manage its complex business and worldwide operations and execute its strategy. To that end, this Policy aims to provide Elbit's Executive Officers with a structured compensation package, including competitive salaries, performance-motivating cash and equity-based incentive programs and benefits, in order to promote retention and provide each Executive Officer with motivation to advance within the organization;
· To incentivize superior individual excellence: Elbit aims to incentivize its Executive Officers by creating a strong link between their compensation and performance. Therefore, a portion of the total compensation package provided to Elbit's Executive Officers is based on measures that reflect Elbit's short and long-term goals and performance, as well as the Executive Officer's individual performance and the impact on the Company's value. In order to strengthen such link, Elbit defines clear, measurable quantitative objectives that, together, are designed to improve Company results;
· To align the interests of the Executive Officers with the long-term performance of the Company: In order to motivate Executive Officers to focus on long-term objectives and performance of the Company, a portion of the compensation package granted to Elbit's Executive Officers is awarded in the form of equity-based compensation, thus creating a direct link between the interests of Executive Officers and the long-term performance of the Company; and
· To provide a risk management tool: This Policy is structured in a manner that creates an incentive to deliver high performance (both short and long-term) while taking into account Elbit's risk management philosophy and avoiding undue pressure to take excessive risks, thus encouraging a balanced and effective risk taking approach. Elbit's compensation elements are designed to reduce incentives to expose the Company to imprudent risks that may harm Elbit or its shareholders in the short and long-term. This is achieved by using tools such as (i) placing maximum thresholds on eligibility for short and long-term incentives; (ii) using compensation vehicles with diverse performance measures; (iii) granting equity-based compensation that has long-term vesting schedules, which tie the awards to a longer performance cycle; and (iv) requiring clawback of compensation payments in certain circumstances.

The Compensation Policy is intended to provide a framework which is broad enough to allow the Compensation Committee, the Board and the CEO, as applicable, to determine a personal compensation plan or a certain compensation component for each of Elbit's Executive Officers, in light of the specific circumstances and the requirements of the Company, which would be in the best interests of the Company, its employees, its shareholders and other stakeholders, all in accordance with Elbit's long-term strategy as provided in this Compensation Policy.

Compensation Structure and Instruments

Compensation instruments under this Compensation Policy may include the following:

Monthly base salary;
. Benefits;
. Cash bonuses;
Equity-based compensation; and .
Retirement and termination of service arrangements.

Variable Compensation Ratio

Elbit aims to balance the mix of "Fixed Compensation" (comprised of Base Salary and Benefits, on an annual basis) and "Variable Compensation" (comprised of cash bonuses and equity-based compensation) in order to, among other things, appropriately incentivize Executive Officers to meet Elbit's short and long-term goals while taking into consideration Elbit's need to manage a variety of business risks.

The pay mix ratio between the Fixed Compensation is such that the total that the total Variable Compensation of each Executive Officer shall not exceed 75 80% of the total compensation package of such Executive Officer, on an annual basis. This pay mix ratio supports the core principles of Elbit's compensation philosophy of compensating for performance and aligning Executive Officers' interests with those of the Company and its shareholders. The above pay mix ratio may vary somewhat in any given calendar year due to fluctuations in the NIS/USD exchange rate. The Compensation Committee and Board believe that such ratio expresses the appropriate compensation mix in the event that all performance objectives are achieved and assumes that all compensation elements are granted with respect to a given year.

Intra-Company Compensation Ratio

In the process of formulating this Policy, Elbit's Compensation Committee and the Board have examined the ratio between employer costs associated with the engagement of the Executive Officers and the average and median employer costs associated with the engagement of the other employees of Elbit, as required pursuant to the Companies Law, (the "Ratio"). The Compensation Committee and Board believe that the current Ratio does not adversely impact the work environment in Elbit.

The possible ramifications of the Ratio in the work environment of Elbit will continue to be examined from time to time in order to ensure that levels of executive compared to that for the overall workforce, will not have a negative impact on work relations in Elbit.

Monthly Base Salary

The monthly base salary ("Monthly Base Salary") provides stable compensation to Executive Officers, allowing Elbit to attract and retain competent executive talent and maintain a stable management team. Monthly Base Salaries vary among Executive Officers, and are individually determined taking into account the educational background, prior vocational experience, qualifications, role, business responsibilities and the past performance of the Executive Officer.

The maximum Monthly Base Salary paid to Elbit's Executive Officers shall not exceed:

(a) With respect to the CEO 200 250,000 NIS, linked to the increase in the Israeli Consumer Price Index (the "CPI"); and
(b) With respect to an EVP 460 180,000 NIS, linked to the CPI.

The following benefits may be granted to Elbit's Executive Officers ("Benefits"), in order, among other things, to comply with legal requirements and to attract, motivate and retain high level professionals:

Elbit may provide advance payments to its Executive Officers in connection with work-related expenses.

Cash Bonuses

Annual Bonuses

General

Elbit has implemented an annual pay-for-performance bonus plan ("Annual Bonus") based on quantitative and qualitative criteria which has proved to be efficient in incentivizing its employees. The Annual Bonus component aims to align and unify Elbit's Executive Officers in reaching Elbit's short and long-term goals. Annual Bonuses are, therefore, a strictly pay-for-performance element, as payout eligibility and levels are determined based on financial, business and operational results, as well as individual performance.

Elbit's policy is to allow Annual Bonuses, which may be awarded to an Executive Officer, for each fiscal year, upon the attainment of pre-set periodical objectives and personal targets taking into consideration the Executive Officer's educational background, prior vocational experience, qualifications, role, business responsibilities and performance. The Annual Bonuses objectives are intended to drive motivation and performance continuously higher, while considering a maximum payout ceiling which is intended to provide a risk management tool.

Pre-Conditions for the Payment of Annual Bonus

The payment of the Annual Bonus to Executive Officers for any particular fiscal year shall be subject to the fulfillment (in addition to the fulfillment of the applicable objectives set forth below as the case may be) of any one of the following criteria ("Awarding Criteria"): (a) that the Non-GAAP Net Profit attributable to shareholders ("Non-GAAP Net Profit") of Elbit for that fiscal year as reflected in Elbit's published full-year financial results ("Annual Financial Results") is at least 80% of Elbit's Non-GAAP Net Profit for the preceding fiscal year; or (b) that Elbit's Non-GAAP Net Profit for that fiscal year is at least 80% of the Non-GAAP Net Profit in Elbit's annual budget as approved by the Board for such fiscal year.

Annual Bonus - CEO

The Compensation Committee and the Board have determined that with respect to the most appropriate quantitative objectives, which most align the interests of the long-term performance of the Company, is are the financial objectives of Non-GAAP Net Profit and Operating Cash Flow.

Accordingly, subject to the Company reaching the Awarding Criteria the CEO will be awarded an Annual Bonus in an amount equal to the following ("CEO's Annual Bonus"), but not exceeding \$2,000,000 ("Maximum CEO's Annual Bonus"):

· 0.4% of Elbit's Non-GAAP Net Profit as reflected in Elbit's Annual Financial Results for the relevant fiscal year("CEO's Annual-Bonus"), plus
· if both the Operating Cash Flow Goal and the Actual Operating Cash Flow (as both terms are defined below) are positive - 0.1% of the Non-GAAP Net Profit as reflected in Elbit's Annual Financial Results for the relevant fiscal year, multiplied by the Operating Cash Flow Factor (as defined below).

The Operating Cash Flow Factor shall mean the amount of net cash provided by operating activities ("Operating Cash Flow") as reflected in Elbit's Annual Financial Results for the relevant fiscal year ("Actual Operating Cash Flow"), divided by the Operating Cash Flow in Elbit's annual budget as approved by the Board for such fiscal year ("Operating Cash Flow Goal").

but not exceeding \$1,500,000("Maximum CEO's Annual Bonus").

The CEO's Annual Bonus amount shall be calculated on the date that the Board approves the applicable Annual Financial Results ("Annual Determination Date").

Upon approval by the Board of the financial results for the first half of an applicable fiscal year ("Semi-Annual Financial Results"), Elbit may provide its CEO with an advance payment on account of the CEO's Annual Bonus for that respective vear. in an amount which shall not exceed a sum equal to 0.4% of Elbit's Non-GAAP Net Profit as reflected in Elbit's Semi Annual Financial Results ("CEO's Advance Payment").

In the event that on the Annual Determination Date the Compensation Committee determines that the paid CEO's Advance Payment exceeded the amount of the CEO's Annual Bonus for that fiscal year, the CEO shall return the excess amount within thirty (30) days from the Annual Determination Date.

Annual Bonus - EVPs

Elbit's EVPs Annual Bonuses shall be based on achievement of personal performance measures determined for each EVP. The personal performance measures will be recommended by the CEO on the basis of the following objectives and be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board:

. Financial Objectives such as, without limitation, revenue, profit, sales, cash flow, order backlog and generation of additional value, which shall account for 50% - 100% of the performance measurements.
. Business, operating and other objectives such as, without limitation, initiation of new markets, growth of certain business fields, facilitation of transactions, acquisitions/sales of business operations, human resources development, managing legal proceedings and customer satisfaction, which shall account for up to 50% of the performance measurements.

For each of the EVPs the weight of the objectives detailed above shall total 100%. In circumstances determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board to be special (e.g., in case of regulatory changes or significant changes in Elbit's business environment), the Compensation Committee and the Board may modify the objectives and/or their relative weights during the fiscal year.

Simultaneously with the determination of the personal objectives and their respective weight for each EVP, the Compensation Committee and the Board, based on the recommendations of the CEO, shall also set forth the amount that will be paid to the respective EVP for achieving 100% of his or hers performance measures ("EVP's Target Annual Bonus").

On the Annual Determination Date, the Annual Bonus payable to each EVP will be calculated by multiplying the score of that EVP with respect to meeting his or that year with his or her Target Annual Bonus. Subject to the Company reaching the Awarding Criteria, the amounts accruing from the above calculations, with respect to each EVP, shall be paid to the applicable EVP.

The Company may pay to an EVP an Annual Bonus in an amount exceeding the EVP's Target Annual Bonus in case the EVP's achievement exceeds 100% of his or hers performance measures for that fiscal year provided however that the maximum Annual Bonus amount payable to an EVP will not exceed an amount equal to nine (9) Monthly Base Salaries ("EVP's Maximum Annual Bonus").

Upon approval by the Board of the Semi-Annual Financial Results, Elbit may provide the EVPs with an advance payment on account of their Annual Bonuses, which shall be calculating the score of that EVP with respect to meeting his or her objectives on an half year basis and provided that the amount paid shall not exceed a sum equal to 50% of the respective Target Annual Bonus ("EVP's Advance Payment").

In the event that on the Annual Determination Date the Compensation Committee determines that any paid EVP's Advance Payment exceeded the amount of the EVP's Annual Bonus for that fiscal year, the respective EVP shall return the excess amount within thirty (30) days from the Annual Determination Date.

Pro Rata Annual Bonus Payments

Should the employment of an Executive Officer terminate prior to the end of a fiscal year, the Company may pay such Executive Officer his or her pro rata share of that year's Annual Bonus, based on the period such Executive Officer was employed by the Company.

Managerial Evaluation Bonus

Elbit may grant an EVP an annual managerial evaluation bonus in an amount of up to three (3) Monthly Base Salaries ("Managerial Evaluation Bonus").

Managerial Evaluation Bonuses may be granted to EVPs in addition to their respective Annual Bonuses.
