Blue Square-Israel Ltd. (NYSE:BSI) today announced that the entire membership of the Secretariat of the Co-Op Blue Square Consumer Cooperative Society Ltd. (the "Co-Op"), which owns approximately 78% of the outstanding shares of the Company, resigned on August 15, 2000. The resignations came, inter alia, after the Supreme Court had rejected a petition to prevent the Cooperative Societies Registrar from appointing a Management Committee for the Co-Op. On August 16, 2000, the Registrar appointed a Management Committee for the Co-Op ("the Committee"). The members of the Committee include Justice (Ret.) Miriam Porat, Mr. David Brodet and Dr. Lipa Meir, Advocate. The Committee was granted the power to manage the Co-op pursuant to the regulations of the Cooperative Societies Ordinance and the Co-Op Articles of Association. The Committee is authorized to direct the Co-Op representatives regarding their voting during the Company's Extraordinary General Meeting scheduled for August 24, 2000. The Company continues to operate in the ordinary course of business under the direction of its management and its Board of Directors. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine how, if at all, the appointment will impact the Company. On August 17, 2000, acting Chairman Benjamin D. Gaon submitted a letter of resignation to the Company's Board of Directors. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Gaon expressed his good will toward the Company and wished future success to the Company, its management and employees. The Company's Board of Directors and its President & CEO expressed their deep appreciation for Mr. Gaon's important contributions to the development and success of the Company and the Co-op group.
