Elron Announces Changes Regarding Annual General Meeting on September 24, 2009 Due to Announcement by NetVision

Elron Electronic Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ:ELRN) (TASE:ELRN) today announced that further to Elron's previous announcement on August 26, 2009, regarding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of shareholders in which shareholders will be asked, among others, to approve the sale of the Company's holding in NetVision Ltd. ("NetVision") to Discount Investment Corporation Ltd. ("DIC") and Clal Industries and Investments Ltd. ("Clal"), NetVision today announced that it is in very preliminary stages of examining possibilities of a business combination with Cellcom Israel Ltd. ("Cellcom"), which may involve a corporate change relating to NetVision. Cellcom is an affiliate of DIC, Elron's principal shareholder, which currently holds approximately 49% of Elron. DIC and Clal are both majority-owned subsidiaries of IDB Development Ltd., and currently hold approximately 31% and 24% of NetVision.

In its announcement, NetVision indicated that current regulation does not allow such combination, which may be effected only if relevant legislation is changed. NetVision further indicated that at this very preliminary stage of examination and given the regulatory limitations, there is no certainty such potential combination may be effected or as to its advisability, timing, structure and terms (if at all). Any such combination will be subject, among others, to the requisite regulatory and corporate approvals.

As a result of NetVision's abovementioned announcement, Elron today announced that regarding Elron's AGM scheduled for tomorrow, September 24, 2009, it is postponing the discussion and voting on the sale transaction only (Item 2 of the proxy statement published by Elron on August 26, 2009) to a Shareholders Meeting which shall take place on October 29, 2009, 10:30 AM, Israel time, at the Company's offices at 3 Azrieli Center, the Triangular Tower, 42nd Floor, Tel Aviv, Israel.

The proxy materials will be made available at no charge on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov and on the Israel Securities Authority’s website at http://www.magna.isa.gov.il.
