Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On June 27, 2000, BackWeb Technologies Ltd. ("BackWeb" or the "Company")
completed its acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the software and intellectual
property owned, licensed or developed by Mobix Communications Ltd., a company
incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel ("Mobix") pursuant to a
Software and Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company, Mobix and Ester Hemli,
the principal shareholder of Mobix. As consideration in the Acquisition, Mobix
received (i) a cash payment of $9.6 million, and (ii) a number of ordinary
shares of BackWeb equal to $2.9 million in value, based on the average daily
closing price of BackWeb ordinary shares for the 15 consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the closing of the Acquisition, such shares to be
deposited in escrow together with an additional $2.4 million in cash to satisfy
Mobix's and the principal shareholder's indemnification obligations and to
secure the retention of certain key employees of Mobix.

        Purchased assets include all registered patents, designs, copyrights and
trademarks, all applications for registration thereof, all computer programs,
all hardware, algorithms, utilities, flowcharts, processes, experimental
methods, specifications, engineering drawings, test protocols, and all other
works of authorship, inventions, concepts, ideas, and discoveries developed or
used by Mobix and all intellectual property rights therein.

        The ordinary shares of BackWeb issued in the Acquisition have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are therefore
subject to certain restrictions on resale.
