INSTRUCTIONS AS TO USE OF
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATES
 
The following instructions relate to a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Pointer Telocation Ltd., an Israeli company (“Pointer”), to the holders of its ordinary shares, pat value NIS 3.00 per share (“Ordinary Shares”)  as described in Pointer’s prospectus supplement dated June 19, 2012 (the “Prospectus”).  Each holder of record of Ordinary Shares at the close of business on June 29, 2012 (the “Record Date”) will receive one non-transferable subscription right (the “Subscription Right”) for each 7.626 Ordinary Shares held by it at the Record Date.  Subscription Rights to purchase up to an aggregate of 644,034 Ordinary Shares are being distributed in connection with the Rights Offering.  Each whole Subscription Right entitles the holder, upon payment of $2.90 in cash (the “Subscription Price”), to purchase one Ordinary Share (the “Basic Subscription Right”).  In addition, each Subscription Right also carries the right to subscribe at the Subscription Price for an unlimited number of additional Ordinary Shares (to the extent available, and subject to proration) (the “Over-Subscription Right”).  See “The Rights Offering” in the Prospectus.
 
No fractional Subscription Rights or cash in lieu thereof will be issued or paid.  Fractional Subscription Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, with such necessary adjustments, as may be determined at the sole discretion of Pointer, to ensure that Pointer offers 644,034 Ordinary Shares in the Rights Offering.

The Subscription Rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time (midnight Israel time), on July 26, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”). Any rights not exercised at or before that time will expire worthless without any payment to the holders of those unexercised rights.
 
The number of Subscription Rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your Subscription Rights Certificate.  You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise of your Subscription Rights by completing the appropriate section on the back of your Subscription Rights Certificate and returning the Subscription Rights Certificate to the Subscription Agent in the envelope provided.
 
Your Subscription Rights Certificate must be received by the Subscription Agent on or before the Expiration Date.  Payment of the Subscription Price of all Subscription Rights exercised, including Subscription Rights pursuant to the Over-Subscription Right, must be received by the Subscription Agent on or before the Expiration Date.  You cannot revoke your exercise of either your Basic Subscription Right or Over-Subscription Right at any time prior to the expiration of the Rights Offering.  In case you hold Subscription Rights through a broker or other nominee, you should verify with your broker or nominee by when you must deliver your instruction.  See also Section 9 below.

(b)           Execution By Person OtherThan Registered Holder.  If the Subscription Rights Certificate is executed by a person other than the holder named on the face of the Subscription Rights Certificate, proper evidence of authority of the person executing the Subscription Rights Certificate must accompany the same unless the Subscription Agent, in its discretion, dispenses with proof of authority.

(e)           Over-Subscription Right.  As soon as practicable after the Issuance Date and after all prorations and adjustments contemplated by the terms of the Rights Offering have been effected and taking into account any delays or extensions in closing the Over-Subscription purchases, the Subscription Agent will mail to each Subscription Rights holder who validly exercises the Over-Subscription Right who is a record holder certificates representing the number of Ordinary Shares allocated to such Subscription Rights holder pursuant to the Over-Subscription Right.
 
(f)            Excess Payments.  If you exercised your Over-Subscription Right and are allocated less than all of the Ordinary Shares for which you wished to oversubscribe, then your excess Subscription Price payment for Ordinary Shares that were not allocated to you will be returned to you by mail, without interest or deduction, as soon as practicable after the Issuance Date.
 
 
 

 
 
6.             To Exercise Subscription Rights through a Bank or Broker.  If you are a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares and hold them through a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee (including a member of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)), rather than in your own name, you should expect your broker, dealer or other nominee to notify you of this Rights Offering and the procedures for exercising or transferring your Subscription Rights.  If you wish to exercise your Subscription Rights, you should contact your nominee to exercise your Subscription Rights sufficiently in advance of the expiration date of the Rights Offering in order to ensure timely delivery of a Subscription Rights Certificate reflecting your exercise.  Your nominee will instruct you as to the proper time and form of payment of the Subscription Price.  In that case, the nominee will complete the Subscription Rights Certificate on behalf of the record date shareholder and arrange for proper payment.
 
7.             Procedures for DTC (The Depository Trust Company)Participants.  In the case of holders of Subscription Rights that are held of record through DTC, exercises of the Basic Subscription Right and the Over-Subscription Right may be effected by instructing DTC to transfer Subscription Rights from the DTC account of such holder to the DTC account of the Subscription Agent, together with certification as to the aggregate number of Subscription Rights you are exercising and the number of Ordinary Shares you are subscribing for under your Basic Subscription Right and your Over-Subscription Right, if any, and your Subscription Price payment for each Ordinary Share that you subscribed for pursuant to your Basic Subscription Right and your Over-Subscription Right.
 
8.             Substitute Form W-9.  Each Rights holder who elects to exercise the Subscription Rights through the Subscription Agent and who is a U.S. person should provide the Subscription Agent with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) and, where applicable, certification of such Rights holder’s exemption from backup withholding on Substitute Form W-9, which is included in this package of subscription materials.  Each Rights holder who elects to exercise the Subscription Rights through the Subscription Agent and who is not a U.S. person should provide the Subscription Agent with certification of such Rights holder’s foreign status on a Form W-8.  Additional copies of the Substitute Form W-9 and copies of Form W-8 may be obtained upon request from the Subscription Agent at the address indicated above.  Failure to provide the information on the form may subject such holder to 30% federal income tax withholding with respect to any proceeds received by such Rights holder.
