Arotech Files Shelf Registration Statement

Flexibility for Growth the Objective, says Chairman
Company Also Files Registration Statement on Previously-Announced Debenture Sale

November 25, 2003 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) today filed a registration statement enabling it to offer up to $20 million in shares of common stock and/or warrants. The Company also filed a separate registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying last month's previously-announced issuance of $5 million in 8% convertible debentures and warrants, which it was obligated to do under its agreements with the purchasers of those securities.

Arotech Chairman and CEO Robert S. Ehrlich commented, "In order to support our internal and external growth, we believe that being positioned to finance rapidly is an advantage for us. Therefore, we feel it is important to have a shelf registration statement available in order to have the flexibility to raise capital quickly and easily at some future date, at prices that we deem acceptable given market conditions prevailing at the time," continued Ehrlich. "We would use the proceeds of any such offering to support production and sales expansion and to enable strategic acquisitions," concluded Ehrlich.
