Lipman Electronic Engineering Ltd.

June 10, 2005

Dear Shareholder,

Re:    Proxy Statement - Special Meeting of Shareholders

You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") of Lipman Electronic Engineering Ltd. to be held at Lipman's executive offices at 11 Haamal Street, Rosh Haayin Israel, on July 6, 2005, at 5:00 p.m. local time, for the following purposes:

(i)    To elect the following persons to serve as directors until the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders: Jacob Perry, Meir Shamir, Ishay Davidi, Aharon Lipman, Rami Lipman, Mordechai Gorfung, Jonathan Kaplan and David Rubner.

(ii)    To appoint Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer (a member firm of Ernst & Young Global) as the Company's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2005 and authorize the Board of Directors (or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, if authorized by the Board) to determine the auditors' compensation.

(iii)    To approve an option grant to two non-employee directors and to approve the remuneration of one of these directors.

(iv)    To increase the number of options available for grant under the Company's 2004 Share Option Plan by 150,000.

(v)    To receive and discuss the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Lipman's Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of each of items (i) to (iv). Item (v) does not need an approval, as the Company's audited financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors

We look forward to greeting personally those shareholders who are able to be present at the meeting. However, whether or not you plan to attend in person, it is important that your shares be represented. Accordingly, please sign and date the enclosed Proxy Card and then, at your earliest convenience, mail it in the envelope provided.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
           Jacob Perry
Chairman of the Board

PROPOSAL TWO

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors
and Authorization of Auditors' Compensation

Background

The Board of Directors has selected Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer (a member firm of Ernst & Young Global) as its independent auditors to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for 2005. Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer has been engaged as the Company's auditors since January 1, 2001. Representatives of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer will attend the Meeting and may make a statement if they so desire. They will be available to respond to appropriate questions raised during the Meeting.

Proposal

Shareholders are being asked to ratify the selection of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer as the Company's independent auditors for 2005 and to authorize the compensation of these auditors.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the appointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer (a member firm of Ernst & Young Global) as the Company's independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 be, and it hereby is, ratified, and that the Board of Directors (or the Audit Committee of the Board, if authorized by the Board of Directors) be, and it hereby is, authorized to fix the remuneration of such independent public accountants in accordance with the volume and nature of their services."

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary shares of the Company represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon is necessary for approval of this resolution.

Board Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" adoption of this proposal.

PROPOSAL THREE

Approval of an Option Grant to two Non-Employee Directors and Approval of the
Remuneration of one of these directors

Background

Under Israel's Companies Law, the compensation terms of any director requires the approval of the Company's Audit Committee, Board of Directors and shareholders, in that order. This includes compensation in the form of stock options. Accordingly, compensation to a director, including any grant of stock options or any other remuneration, is subject to approval by the Company's shareholders. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have approved the grant of options to purchase 30,000 of the Company's ordinary shares to each of David Rubner and Mordechai Gorfung. Subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting, these options will be granted under the Company's 2004 Share Option Plan immediately following the Meeting at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in said 2004 Share Plan) on the date of such grant.

The options will vest over a four-year period. In accordance with the accounting policy used by the Company, the Company will be required to record compensation expense based on the fair value of the options granted, assuming shareholder approval of this proposal. This compensation expense will be charged over the vesting period of the options.

5




The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors resolved to pay Mr. David Rubner the same remuneration as the Company pays to the two statutory independent directors in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law. The Company pays to its statutory independent directors an annual fee of NIS 37,500 (equal to approximately $8,500) and NIS 1,365 (equal to approximately $300) for each meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee attended.

Proposal

Shareholders are being asked to ratify the option grant to each of Mr. Rubner and Mr. Gorfung and the independent director remuneration to Mr. David Rubner.

It is proposed that the following resolution be adopted at the Meeting:

"RESOLVED, that the grant to each of David Rubner and Mordechai Gorfung of options to purchase 30,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of such grant, and the payment to David Rubner of the same remuneration the Company pays to its statutory independent directors, in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law, prevailing from the day of the appointment of David Rubner as a director of the Company be, and it hereby is, approved."

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon is necessary for approval of this resolution.

Board Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" adoption of this proposal.

PROPOSAL FOUR

Increase of the number of options available for grant under the Company's 2004 Share Option Plan

The Company believes that its success is predicated on its ability to recruit and retain highly qualified and motivated personnel and that a share option plan is instrumental towards achieving this objective. Furthermore, the Company believes that a share option plan enhances its performance and shareholder value by aligning the financial interests of those employees, officers, directors and consultants who are awarded options with those of its shareholders. On November 16, 2004, our shareholders approved the Company's 2004 Share Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). The Company currently has 375,750 options available for grant. Of the options available for grant, 60,000 options will be used for the proposed grants to Mr. Rubner and Mr. Gorfung, assuming they are approved by the shareholders at this Meeting, and the Company expects to grant approximately 150,000 options to officers and employees in the near future. As a result, the Company expects that it will have only approximately 165,750 options available after these grants.

The Board of Directors believes that the increase in the number of options available for grant will assist the Company in attracting and retaining talented personnel, attract and adequately reward employees, officers, directors and consultants, and enable us to remain competitive in our industry. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has approved an increase of 150,000 ordinary shares to be available for grant under the Option Plan, subject to approval of our shareholders at the meeting.

Nasdaq rules require us to obtain approval for the adoption of material amendments to the Option Plan. In addition, shareholder approval of this increase is required in order for options granted under the Option Plan to qualify as incentive stock options under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Company is asking its shareholders to approve the increase in the number of options available under the Option Plan.

6




SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE OPTION PLAN

AVAILABLE SHARES AND ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS.     The Option Plan complies with amended Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), and, subject to shareholder approval at the meeting of the proposed increase, authorizes the grant of options to purchase up to 850,000 of the Company's Ordinary Shares. Employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries ("Service Providers") will be eligible to participate in the Option Plan.

Any option grants to the Company's directors will require an additional shareholder approval under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law").

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.     The Option Plan also authorizes the grant of options which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and options which do not qualify as incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Option Plan through incentive stock options is 200,000 shares.

ADMINISTRATION.     The Board of Directors or, subject to applicable law, a committee of the Board of Directors (the "Option Committee"), if appointed, will administer the Option Plan. The Board of Directors or the Option Committee will have the authority, subject to limitation under the terms and provisions of any applicable law, to:

(i)  determine the fair market value (as defined in the Option Plan) of ordinary shares;
(ii)  select the persons to whom options may from time to time be granted;
(iii)  determine the number of shares to be covered by each such grant and the exercise price per share;
(iv)  approve forms of agreement for use under the Option Plan;
(v)  determine, alter and adjust the terms and conditions of any option granted, including without limitation, to accelerate the right of an optionee to exercise in whole or in part options granted under the Option Plan, or to reprice the exercise price of an Option granted under the Plan; and
(vi)  otherwise interpret and administer the Option Plan.

ISRAELI INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.     Options granted under the Option Plan to Israeli residents who are employees, officers or directors are expected generally to be taxable under the "capital gains path". Pursuant to this path, the profit realized by an employee upon sale of shares acquired as a result of the exercise of an option is taxed as a capital gain (at a tax rate of 25%) if the options or shares are held by a trustee for at least 24 months from the end of the tax year in which such options were granted.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.     In general, for persons subject to U.S. federal income taxes, a holder of an option that does not qualify as an "incentive stock option" under the Code will recognize ordinary income when the option is exercised equal to the excess of the fair market value of the ordinary shares purchased over the aggregate exercise price, and the Company or a subsidiary will receive a corresponding deduction. Upon a later sale of the ordinary shares, the option holder will recognize capital gain or loss generally equal to the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the ordinary shares at the time the option was exercised.

The holder of an option that qualifies as an incentive stock option does not recognize taxable income upon exercise of the option. If the ordinary shares acquired upon exercise of the incentive stock option are sold within two years from the grant date or within one year from the exercise date, then, in general, gain realized on the sale will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the spread between the sale price and the exercise price, and the Company or a subsidiary will receive a corresponding deduction. In general, if the ordinary shares are held for at least two years from the grant date and one year from the exercise date, then gain or loss realized upon the sale will be capital gain or loss and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction.

7




VESTING.     Options granted are generally expected to vest 50% after two years; 25% after three years; and 25% after four years. If an option terminates or expires before it is exercised, the ordinary shares that were issuable under such option will again be available for grant and returned to the pool of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan.

EXERCISE PRICE.     Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value (as defined in the Option Plan) of the Company's ordinary shares. The exercise price per share of an incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value (as defined in the Option Plan) per share of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of grant (110% in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary (a "10% Shareholder")).

TERM.     The Option Plan has a term of ten years and will terminate in October 2014. The term of each option granted under the Option Plan will be specified in the option agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Shareholder, the term of the option will be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the option agreement.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.     In general, unless otherwise provided in an option agreement, an optionee will have a period of one year to exercise his or her vested options (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the options) if the optionee ceases to be a service provider, provided, however, that, in the event an optionee is terminated for "cause" (as defined in the Option Plan) all of his or her options will immediately cease to exercisable and will no longer be of any force or effect. In the case of incentive stock options, unless otherwise provided in an option agreement, an optionee (or his or her estate) will have one year following his or her termination of employment due to death or disability to exercise his or her vested options (but not beyond the expiration of the term of the options) and 3 months to exercise his or her vested options following a termination of employment for any other reason, except a termination for "cause" (in which case, such options will immediately cease to be exercisable). Any options that are not vested when an optionee ceases to be a service provider will immediately terminate.

ADJUSTMENTS IN CERTAIN CASES.     In general, the number of the Company's ordinary shares covered by each outstanding option, and the number of ordinary shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Option Plan or through incentive stock options, as well as the price per share of ordinary shares covered by outstanding options, will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued ordinary shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the ordinary shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued ordinary shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or an acquisition of all or substantially all of the shares of the Company, such that more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting company are owned in the aggregate by persons or entities other than the shareholders of the Company, or in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or by a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. No adjustment will be made for a dividend in cash.

OPTIONS NOT ASSIGNABLE.     Options are not assignable or transferable by the optionee. No options or any right with respect thereto may be assignable, transferable or given as collateral or any right with respect to it given to any third party whatsoever, except as specifically allowed under the Option Plan, and during the lifetime of the optionee each optionee's right to purchase shares may only be exercised by the optionee. Generally, an option may be exercised as long as the optionee is employed by, or providing services to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, to the extent the options have vested.

8




It is therefore proposed that at the Meeting our shareholders adopt the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the proposed increase of 150,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.00 per share, available for the grant of options under the 2004 Share Option Plan be, and it hereby is, adopted and approved".

Under the Companies Law the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary share represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon will be necessary for shareholder approval of the foregoing resolution.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the foregoing resolution.

ITEM FIVE

Presentation of Financial Statements

The Board of Directors has approved and is presenting to the shareholders for discussion at the Meeting, the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December, 31, 2004, which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended.

By Order of the Board of Directors

Chairman of the Board

Dated: June 10, 2005
