This Amendment to Annual Report on Form 20-F/A is filed on behalf of
Elbit Systems Ltd. to clarify two points inadvertently not fully reflected in
Item 6 of the registrant's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14,
2004 (the "Report").
In Item 6 - Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Compensation
of Directors and Officers, the table under the column "Salaries, Directors Fees,
Commissions and Bonuses" reflects the amount actually paid to the registrant's
President in 2003 but does not include a bonus in the amount of $459,000 that
accrued but was not paid to the President in 2003.
The registrant hereby amends the foregoing to provide that the amount
of Salaries, Directors Fees, Commissions and Bonuses of the registrant's
President for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 is $828,190, including a
bonus in the amount of $459,000, payment of which was deferred.
In Item 6 - Directors, Senior Management and Employees - Share
Ownership - Elbit Systems' Stock Option Plans - 1996 Plan, it is indicated that
all of the options under the 1996 plan were vested and exercised in 2002,
whereas a small portion of those options were actually granted in 1998 and were
vested and exercised by May 2004.
The registrant hereby amends the foregoing to provide that the small
number of options that were granted in 1998, under the 1996 plan, all were
vested and exercised by May 2004.
All other information contained in Item 6 is correct and remains
unchanged.
