Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: On June 17, 1999, the legal representatives of Messrs. Genger and Barnard J. Gottstein ("Gottstein") filed three motions in an Israeli court, seeking declaratory relief on the validity of their proxies, for an injunction against the trustee of the Company's stock option plans from voting the Shares purportedly held by the trustee, and for an order of contempt of court for the Company's failure to deliver in a timely manner to Messrs. Genger and Gottstein a complete list of all shareholders of the Company. The hearing on at least one of the motions is scheduled to occur on June 22, 1999. In addition to filing the motions, Messrs. Genger and Gottstein have questioned the legal representative of the Company as to why, if the Company seeks to have the trustee vote such Shares at the June 23 meeting of shareholders, the Company has failed to file any Schedule 13D or 13G with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the Company's ownership and intentions with respect to such Shares. Other than as described above and as previously described in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (although they reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals) any transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D.
