Nature of the Event: Immediate Report
Bank Leumi le-Israel B.M. (the "Bank") announces as follows:
1. In the wake of the deepening of the global financial crisis, continuing declines on stock exchanges worldwide and in Israel, the collapse of the Lehman Brothers investment house (see the Bank's Immediate Reports of 16 September and 18 September 2008) and the US bank Washington Mutual (see the Bank's Immediate Report of 28 September 2008) and the deterioration in the state of the Israeli economy, and the effect of all the above on the business of the Bank, the Bank estimates that there will be a significant adverse effect on its business results for the third quarter of 2008, as compared with the first half of 2008.

The above report is based on estimations and on data presently available to the Bank, but which is not final and has not yet been fully processed, and therefore this data is likely to change. In addition, the business results may vary from those forecasted as of the date of this report, inter alia, due to developments in the financial markets, as they materialize.
