ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds
As of June 15, 2010, the investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts for
which Clough Capital Partners L.P. serves as investment adviser (the Clough Client Accounts) had
invested $6,255,323 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in ordinary shares of the Issuer. The
source of these funds was the working capital of the Clough Client Accounts.
ITEM 4. Purpose of the Transaction
The Ordinary Shares were purchased for the Clough Client Accounts on various dates between February
24, 2005 and April 9, 2010 based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, represented an
attractive investment opportunity. Although the Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal
to acquire or dispose of the Ordinary Shares (for their own benefit or for the benefit of the
Clough Client Accounts), consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons at any
time and from time to time may acquire additional Ordinary Shares or dispose of any or all of their
Ordinary Shares (for their own benefit or for the benefit of the Clough Client Accounts) depending
upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Ordinary Shares, prevailing market conditions,
other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons or the Clough
Client Accounts and/or other investment considerations.
The purpose of the acquisition of the Ordinary Shares was for investment, and the acquisitions of
the Ordinary Shares were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose
of acquiring control of the Issuer.
The Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one
or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer
and/or one or more representatives or regulators of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including, but
not limited to, its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected, may
result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Ordinary Shares of the
Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer and/or changes in the board of
directors or management of the Issuer.
Specifically, the Reporting Persons, along with certain other shareholders of the Issuer
(collectively, the Proposing Shareholders), have submitted a letter to the Chairman of the Board
of the Issuer, a copy of which is attached to this Schedule 13D as Annex A, requesting that an
Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer be convened promptly in order to
consider certain matters proposed by the Proposing Shareholders that are set forth in the letter.
These matters include the termination of the service as directors of the Issuer of all of the board
of directors, excluding Nathan Kirsh and the then serving external directors, and the replacement
of such directors with those nominees proposed by the Proposing Shareholders. The Proposing
Shareholders believe that it would be desirable to make these changes in order to lead a recovery
plan that would improve the Issuers performance and enhance shareholder value.
Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or
could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the
instructions to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from

time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate
plans or proposals with respect thereto.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) The aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares reported to be owned by the Reporting Persons is
based upon 10,396,548 Ordinary Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Ordinary Shares
outstanding as of December 31, 2009, as reported in the Issuers Form 20-F filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2010.
As of June 14, 2010, the Clough Client Accounts beneficially owned 704,042 Ordinary Shares,
representing approximately 6.8% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
The shares reported above include shares beneficially owned by the Clough Client Accounts for which
Clough Capital Partners L.P. serves as investment adviser. Such shares may be deemed beneficially
owned by (a) Clough Capital Partners L.P., (b) Clough Capital Partners LLC, the general partner of
Clough Capital Partners L.P., and (c) Messrs. Clough, Canty and Brock, the managing members of
Clough Capital Partners LLC. Each such reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of such
shares except to the extent of its respective pecuniary interest therein.
(b) By virtue of their positions with Clough Capital Partners, LP and the Clough Client Accounts,
Messrs. Clough, Canty, and Brock have the sole power to vote and dispose of the Ordinary Shares
owned by the Clough Client Accounts reported in this Schedule 13D. The filing of this Schedule 13D
shall not be construed as admission that Clough Capital Partners, LP or Messrs. Clough, Canty, and
Brock are, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any of
the 704,0427 Ordinary Shares owned by the Clough Client Accounts. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Clough
Capital Partners, LP and Messrs. Clough, Canty, and Brock disclaim all such beneficial ownership
(c) There have been no transactions in the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer during the past sixty (60)
days by the Reporting Persons.
(d) No other person other than the Reporting Persons or the Clough Client Accounts is known to have
the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the
sale of, the Ordinary Shares.
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Other than as represented by the letter described in Item 4 above, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting
Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

Attention: Mr. Jacob Perry, Chairman of the Board
By Facsimile no. 03-539-1478 and Courier
Dear Sir,
Re: General Meeting of Shareholders
This letter is provided to you on behalf of (a) Clough Investment Partners I, L.P., Clough
Investment Partners II, L.P., Clough Offshore Fund, Ltd., Clough Global Equity Fund, Clough Global
Allocation Fund and The Flatley Foundation (collectively, Clough), (b) Prescott Group Aggressive
Small Cap, L.P. and Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P. (collectively, Prescott), and
(c) Diker Micro-Value Fund, L.P., Diker Micro-Value QP Fund, L.P., Diker Micro and Small Cap Fund,
L.P. and Diker M&S Cap Master, Ltd. (collectively, Diker, and together with Clough and Prescott,
the Shareholders). In accordance with Section 63(b) of the Israeli Companies Law, 1999 (the
Companies Law), the Shareholders hereby request that an Extraordinary General Meeting of the
shareholders of [ ] Ltd. (the Company) be convened promptly to consider the matters further set
forth below. Alternatively, in light of the upcoming annual shareholders meeting of the Company
that is scheduled to take place on June 23, 2010, you may comply with the foregoing request by
postponing such annual general meeting and revising the agenda thereof such that it would include
the proposals set forth below.
Clough, acting through Clough Capital Partners, L.P., investment advisor to the accounts
holding shares of the Company, currently holds, in the aggregate, 704,042 ordinary shares, par
value NIS1.0 per share of the Company (the Ordinary Shares) which constitute approximately 6.77%
of the issued and outstanding share capital and the voting rights of the Company, Prescott
currently holds, in the aggregate, 544,427 Ordinary Shares which constitute approximately 5.24% of
the issued and outstanding share capital and the voting rights of the Company, and Diker currently
holds, in the aggregate, 604,495 Ordinary Shares which constitute approximately 5.81% of the issued
and outstanding share capital and the voting rights of the Company.
The Shareholders believe that in light of the Companys recent performance, it would be
desirable to change the composition of the Board of Directors in order to lead a recovery plan that
would improve the Companys performance and enhance shareholders value. The Shareholders therefore
propose that certain nominees who bring with them experience and professional capabilities be
appointed as directors of the Company in place of the current members of the Board of Directors,
other than Mr. Nathan Kirsh and the then serving external directors, who may continue to serve as
external directors. The Shareholders believe that the proposed change should be implemented as soon
as possible.
Accordingly, we hereby request that notice, in accordance with all applicable legal
requirements, shall be provided as soon as possible (and in any event no later than 21 days from
the date hereof) to all shareholders of the Company of a General Meeting to be held in Israel 35
days from the date of such notice (the Meeting), to consider and vote on the matters set forth
below, and that the Company and the directors take all action necessary or advisable to cause the
Meeting to be held as promptly as possible and facilitate the orderly conduct of the Meeting,
including, without limitation, the administration of the shareholder vote.
The agenda for the Meeting shall consist of the following proposals: (a) effective as of the
close of the Meeting the service of all members of the Board of Directors, including without
limitation, Mr. Jacob Perry, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Mr. Zeev Livne, Mr. Jacob Nuss and Mr. Barry
Stiefel, but excluding Mr. Nathan Kirsh and the then serving external directors, shall terminate
and they shall, as of such time and thereafter, cease to serve as a directors of the Company, and
(b) effective as of the close of the Meeting, Mr. Yoav Stern, Mr. Avihu Ben-Nun, Mr. Zivi R.
Nedivi, Mr. Ami Amir and Mr. Israel (Relik) Shafir shall be elected to serve as directors of the
Company.
We note that to the extent the service of Mr. Barry Stiefel as a director shall terminate
pursuant to the aforementioned proposals, we have no objection to his appointment by the new Board
as an observer on the Board of the Company, until otherwise determined by the Board.
It is proposed that the following resolutions be adopted at the Meeting:
To terminate the service as directors of the Company of all members of the Board of Directors,
including without limitation, Mr. Jacob Perry, Mr. Jacob Even-Ezra, Mr. Zeev Livne, Mr. Jacob
Nuss and Mr. Barry Stiefel, but excluding Mr. Nathan Kirsh and the then serving external
directors, effective as of the close of the Meeting.
Provided that resolution no. 1 above is adopted:
|
A) |
|
To appoint Mr. Yoav Stern as director of the Company effective
as of the close of the Meeting. |
|
|
B) |
|
To appoint Mr. Avihu Ben-Nun as director of the Company
effective as of the close of the Meeting. |
|
|
C) |
|
To appoint Mr. Zivi R. Nedivi as director of the Company
effective as of the close of the Meeting. |
|
|
D) |

|
|
E) |
|
To appoint Mr. Israel (Relik) Shafir as director of the Company

Attached as Exhibit A please find a short biography of each of the new nominees to be
elected as directors of the Company.
Also attached as Exhibit B is a statement by each nominee containing his consent to
serve as a director of the Company and that he is qualified to serve as a director of the Company.
The Shareholders believe that they have thus provided all information that is required under the
Companies Law with respect to the Meeting and the proposed resolution.
We note that the Company has not, in the past, sent Written Ballots to its shareholders
pursuant to Section 87 of the Companies Law, and we assume therefore that you are of the view that
the Company is not obligated to do so under applicable law. Nonetheless, to the extent that the
Company concludes otherwise, and in accordance with the applicable Regulations, we hereby attach as
Exhibit C a form of Written Ballot for use in such circumstances. In addition, we also
intend to provide the Company with a Position Statement within the timetable permitted under
applicable law.
Please contact our attorney, Dan Shamgar Adv. of Meitar Liquornik Geva & Leshem Brandwein, at
