Notice of Special Meeting

Orad Hi-Tec Systems 01 May 2008 Orad Hi-Tec Systems 1 May 2008 Orad Hi-Tec Systems Ltd. ('Orad' or the 'Company') Proposed Cancellation of Admission to Trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares of the Company Notice of Special Meeting Orad Hi-Tec Systems Limited (Symbol: OHT) announces that it has today posted a circular to shareholders regarding the proposed cancellation of admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares (of nominal value NIS 0.01 each) of the Company (the 'Cancellation' or the 'Ordinary Shares' as appropriate), subject to shareholder approval at a special meeting to be held at 11.00 a.m. (Israel time) on Wednesday 4 June 2008 ('Special Meeting'). The circular (the 'Circular') gives shareholders details of, and seeks approval for, the Cancellation. The Circular includes a notice of Special Meeting, at which, a resolution will be proposed to effect the Cancellation. A copy of the Circular is available on the Company's website at www.orad.tv Shareholders are urged not to take any action until they have taken the opportunity to consider the Cancellation in full as set out in the Circular. The Cancellation is conditional upon the approval of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast at the Special Meeting by shareholders of the Company (whether present in person or by proxy) including a shareholder directed to vote by holders of depositary interests in accordance with a validly submitted form of direction. Background to the Cancellation The directors of the Company have applied to the London Stock Exchange plc (the 'Exchange') pursuant to Rule 41 of the AIM Rules to cancel (subject to the passing of the resolution at the Special Meeting) the admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares. In arriving at this decision, the Directors have considered (1) the significant ongoing expenses associated with maintaining a listing on AIM (in addition to its listing on Frankfurt's Wertpapierborse Prime Standard ('WPS')), (2) the relative inactivity, in Ordinary Share trading volume terms, of the AIM market, and (3) the lighter regulatory burden which would be faced by the Company following the Cancellation. The Cancellation should, therefore, result in the Company reducing its administrative cost burden. Accordingly, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the shareholders generally to seek Cancellation at the earliest opportunity. The Company has separately notified the Exchange of its preferred date for the Cancellation, being 12 June 2008. Following Cancellation, the Ordinary Shares will not be listed on any publicly quoted market in the UK. The Ordinary Shares, however, will continue to be traded on the WPS segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (with ticker symbol: WKN 928634). The Ordinary Shares have been traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 1999. The ISIN of the Company remains: IL0010838071. If you are a holder of depositary interests, then within 90 days of receiving notice from Capita IRG Trustees Limited ('CIRGT') of the termination of the Depositary Agreement, you must request from CIRGT a 'CREST Withdrawal form' and notify CIRGT to whom, within the Clearstream banking system, you wish to transfer your Ordinary Shares. The Ordinary Shares may be transferred to Clearstream Banking Frankfurt (CBF), Clearstream Banking Luxembourg (CBL) or Euroclear (EC). If you do not have an account with any of the above, you should contact a custodian bank like Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt (contact person: Ruth Burgermeister, Domestic Custody Service, Deutsche Bank Frankfurt, Tel.: +49 (0) 69 910 63454, Fax: +49 (0)69 910 69817, email: ruth.buergermeister@db.com) in order to set up custody services. If you do not send CIRGT notification to whom to transfer your Ordinary Shares, then at the expiration of the 90 day notification period, CIRGT shall sell your Ordinary Shares and send you the proceeds after deducting expenses. In accordance with Rule 41 of the AIM Rules for Companies, the Cancellation will only take effect five (5) clear business days after shareholder approval for the Cancellation has been obtained and once a dealing notice has been issued by the Exchange. Accordingly, it is currently anticipated that the Cancellation will take place with effect from June 12, 2008.
