EXPLANATORY NOTE:
This report on Form 6-K shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in
the prospectus, dated April 19, 2000, of G. Willi-Food International Ltd.
("Registrant") included in Registrant's Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File
No. 333-11848), and to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is
filed, to the extent not superceded by documents or reports subsequently filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On June 20, 2006, our principal shareholder, Willi-Food Investments Ltd.,
reported the following to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Israeli Securities
Authority, as required by Israeli law:
The Registrant is currently examining the possibility of raising funds through a
private placement from investors in the United States. For that purpose, the
Registrant has engaged a U.S. investment bank as its placement agent to assist
it in the process. The Registrant is presently discussing the potential private
placement with potential investors in the United States.
The amount to be raised in such a private placement has not been finalized, and
there is no assurance that the private placement will in fact be completed. It
is the intention of the Registrant that the proceeds from such private placement
would be used for the expansion of the Registrant's activities.
----------
This announcement shall not be deemed an offer of securities or a solicitation
of an offer to buy securities of the Registrant. The securities that may be
offered in such transaction will not be registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
