        release contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
        as amended) regarding Elbit Systems Ltd. and/or its subsidiaries (collectively the
        Company), to the extent such statements do not relate to historical or current fact.
        Forward Looking Statements are based on management&rsquo;s expectations, estimates,
        projections and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe
        harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended.
        These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and
        uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future results,
        performance and trends may differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to a
        variety of factors, including, without limitation: scope and length of customer contracts;
        governmental regulations and approvals; changes in governmental budgeting priorities;
        general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which the Company
        operates or sells, including Israel and the United States among others; differences in
        anticipated and actual program performance, including the ability to perform under
        long-term fixed-price contracts; and the outcome of legal and/or regulatory proceedings.
        The factors listed above are not all-inclusive, and further information is contained in
        Elbit Systems Ltd.&rsquo;s latest annual report on Form 20-F, which is on file with the
        U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements speak only as of
        the date of this release. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking
        statements.</font></p>
