ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP.
The Newton Becker Irrevocable Trust No. 1 (the "TRUST") is the
beneficial owner of 633,350 shares (the "SHARES") of the common stock,
$.01 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of Electric Fuel
Corporation (the "COMPANY"). The Shares represent approximately 4.4% of
the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. The co-trustees of
the Trust, David E. Becker and Bryan Gordon, may be deemed beneficial
owners of the Shares and possess shared investment and dispositive power
with respect to all of the Shares (and together, possess sole investment
and dispositive power with respect to all of the Shares). The
beneficiaries of the Trust are Mr. Becker, Mr. Gordon and their
respective siblings. Mr. Becker and Mr. Gordon are step-brothers.
On December 19, 1996, the Trust sold 160,000 shares of Common Stock
to Leon S. Gross. Consequently, as indicated above, the Trust now holds
633,350 shares of Common Stock which represents 4.4% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, based upon the number of shares outstanding as
of November 5, 1996, as reported in the Company Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Thus, as of December 19,
1996, the Trust, David E. Becker and Bryan Gordon each ceased to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Common
Stock.
The Shares are exclusive of 1,746,904 shares of the Company's
Common Stock held in the name of the Becker Family Trust (the "FAMILY
TRUST"), as to which shares the Trust disclaims beneficial ownership.
Newton D. Becker (the father and step-father of Mr. Becker and Mr.
Gordon, respectively) is the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Family
Trust during his lifetime.
None of the reporting persons assumes any responsibility for
information contained in this statement with respect to the other
reporting persons except to the extent set forth in Rule 13d-1(f) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The reporting persons hereby agree
that this statement is filed on behalf of each of them and constitutes
their agreement to such filing, as contemplated by said Rule 13d-1(f).
