The following paragraph is hereby added to this Item 3:

This Amendment No. 1 to this Statement relates to warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares granted to the Banks in connection with separate equipment finance facilities respectively provided by the Banks to the Issuer.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The following paragraph is hereby added to this Item 4:

The purpose of the acquisition of the warrants was to permit Tower to provide non-cash consideration to the Banks in connection with the provision by the Banks of the respective equipment facility agreements requested by Tower.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The following paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this Item 5 are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

 

(a)

  (1)    Leumi is the beneficial owner of 31,567,372 Ordinary Shares, consisting of 25,986,842 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of its currently convertible Capital Note and 5,580,530 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of its currently exercisable warrants. Leumi’s ownership represents approximately 20.5% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding based on the most recently available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by Tower and calculated in accordance with rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).
  (2)    Hapoalim is the beneficial owner of 32,037,960 Ordinary Shares, consisting of 25,986,842 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of its currently convertible Capital Note and 6,051,118 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable warrants (including warrants to purchase 5,602,820 Ordinary Shares held by Hapoalim and a warrant to purchase 448,298 Ordinary Shares held by Tarshish, its wholly-owned subsidiary). Hapoalim (and Tarshish’s ownership, as aforesaid) represents approximately 20.8% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding based on the most recently available filing with the Commission by Tower and calculated in accordance with rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).
  (3)    Tarshish is the beneficial owner of 448,298 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of its currently exercisable warrant, representing less than 0.01% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding based on the most recently available filing with the Commission by Tower and calculated in accordance with rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).


Page 6 of 17

The following paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this Item 5 are hereby amended to read in their entirety as follows:

 

(b)

  (1)    Leumi has sole voting and dispositive power over 31,567,372 Ordinary Shares consisting of 25,986,842 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a currently convertible Capital Note and 5,580,530 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares.
  (2)    Hapoalim has sole voting and dispositive power over 31,589,662 Ordinary Shares consisting of 25,986,842 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of a currently convertible Capital Note and 5,602,820 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of currently exercisable warrants and Hapoalim and Tarshish share voting and dispositive power over 448,298 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of a currently exercisable warrant held by Tarshish.

The following paragraph is hereby added to the end of this Item 5:

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person (as defined above) that any such Reporting Person and any other persons or entities constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Further, the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any Ordinary Shares other than those Ordinary Shares over which the Reporting Person has voting and dispositive power, as reported herein. Other than Hapoalim’s interest in Tarshish, each Reporting Person disclaims any pecuniary interest in any securities of Tower owned by any other Reporting Person, and expressly disclaims the existence of a group.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The following is hereby added to the end of this Item 6:

2007 Warrants

On September 10, 2007, Tower issued a warrant to purchase 1,470,588 Ordinary Shares to Hapoalim and a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares to Leumi, in each case, at an exercise price of $2.04 per Ordinary Share (collectively, the “2007 Warrants”) in connection with the equipment finance facilities provided by Hapoalim and Leumi, respectively to Tower. The warrants expire on March 31, 2010, which is the final maturity date of each facility (the “Expiration Date”), but the Expiration Date for Leumi and Hapoalim, as the case may be, will automatically be extended to be the date, if any, after March 31, 2010 upon which all of Tower’s obligations to said Bank under said facility have been fully discharged.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the 2007 Warrants is intended to derogate from the provisions of each equipment facility agreement, including, inter alia, establishing March 31, 2010 as the final maturity date for each such equipment facility.


Page 7 of 17

As is the case with respect to the previous warrants held by the Reporting Persons, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2007 Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, such as dividends and distributions, share splits and combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations and mergers. In addition, each holder of a 2007 Warrant will be eligible to participate in rights offerings that may be made by Tower on the same basis and at the same time as such rights may be exercised by shareholders of Tower (in such number as to which the holder would be entitled had the holder exercised its entire 2007 Warrant into shares immediately prior to the record date for such rights offering).

Each of the 2007 Warrants also contain registration rights provisions similar to those applicable to the previous warrants.

The foregoing summary of the 2007 Warrants is qualified in its entirely by reference to the full texts of the 2007 Warrants filed as Exhibits 15 and 16 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

II. Information regarding Persons Controlling Bank Leumi le-Israel B.M.

The Government of Israel on behalf of the State of Israel is currently the only shareholder of the Bank holding 10% or more of the means of control, with 11.94% of the issued share capital of the Bank (19.78% of the voting rights). Pursuant to Israeli law, the Government is required to avoid involvement in the ongoing management of the Bank’s affairs, and the Bank shall not be deemed to be a corporation with governmental participation in its management for the purposes of any law and for all intents and purposes. Further, under Israeli banking legislation, since September 2004 no person may control a banking corporation without receiving a control permit from the Bank of Israel, and no person may hold 5% or more of the means of control of a banking corporation without receiving a holding permit from the Bank of Israel (until that date, 10%). As of the date of this report, no such control permit has been granted to any of the Bank’s shareholders.

In November 2005, Barnea Investments B.V. was chosen by the State as the preferred bidder for the State’s holdings in the Bank and acquired from the State 9.99% of the Bank’s share capital (5% of the voting rights) with an option to purchase a further 10.01% of the capital of the Bank, subject to receipt of all necessary permits from the Bank of Israel and the other relevant supervisory authorities in Israel and overseas. An application for a control permit was made by Barnea to the Bank of Israel. The option expired on 24 May 2007 and Barnea is required to sell at least 4.99% of its shares in the Bank within a year. The State undertook that on expiration of the option as mentioned above, it would refrain from selling its remaining shares in the Bank for a period of 90 days from the date of expiration of the option.
