By executing this Notice of Objection, the undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has read, and agrees to, the terms and conditions of the instructions accompanying
this Notice of Objection.
THIS NOTICE OF OBJECTION SHOULD ONLY BE EXECUTED BY YOU IN THE EVENT THAT YOU OBJECT TO THE OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ALL OR ANY PORTION OF YOUR SHARES.

Shareholders of Gilat who wish to object to the Offer must complete this Notice of Objection unless an agent’s message is utilized. Delivery of documents to The Depository Trust Company or any other party does not constitute delivery to the U.S. Depositary.

Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer
1. Explanation of Notice of Objection. Under Israeli law, you may respond to the Offer by accepting the Offer and tendering all or any portion of your Shares in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal or by notifying us of your objection to the Offer with respect to all or any portion of your Shares by executing and delivering this Notice of Objection. Alternatively, you may simply do nothing and not tender your Shares or object to the Offer. It is a condition to the Offer that at the completion of the Initial Offer Period (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), the aggregate number of Shares validly tendered in the Offer is greater than the number of Shares represented by Notices of Objection. In making this calculation, we exclude Shares owned by us or by our affiliates. We will make this calculation and announce the results promptly after the
Initial Completion Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). If this and the other conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by us, shareholders will be afforded an additional four calendar days to tender their Shares in the Offer, but Notices of Objection will no longer be accepted.
2
If, with respect to all or any portion of your Shares, you object to the Offer during the Initial Offer Period and the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived by us, you may tender such Shares during the Additional Offer Period (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).
Do not send any stock certificates with this Notice of Objection.
2. Delivery of Notice of Objection. If you wish to object to the Offer and you hold your Shares directly, complete and sign this Notice of Objection and mail or deliver it to the U.S. Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the front of this document prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Initial Completion Date.
If you wish to object to the Offer and you hold your Shares through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, request such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to submit for you the Notice of Objection to the U.S. Depositary prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Initial Completion Date.
The method of delivery of this Notice of Objection is at the option and risk of the objecting shareholder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the U.S. Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
No alternative, conditional or contingent Notices of Objection will be accepted.
3. Signatures on Notice of Objection. If this Notice of Objection is signed by the registered holder(s) of Shares, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) evidencing the Shares without alteration, enlargement or any other change whatsoever.
If any Shares are registered in the name of two or more persons, all of those named persons must sign this Notice of Objection.
If any Shares are registered in different names, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Notices of Objection as there are different registrations of those objecting Shares.
If this Notice of Objection is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to us of that person’s authority so to act must be submitted.
4. Withdrawal of Notice of Objection. You may withdraw a previously submitted Notice of Objection at any time prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Initial Completion Date. For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the U.S. Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the front of this document. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person(s) who submitted the Notice of Objection to be withdrawn and the number of Shares to which the Notice of Objection to be withdrawn relates. Following the withdrawal of a Notice of Objection, a new Notice of Objection may be submitted at any time prior to 10:00 a.m., New York time, or 5:00 p.m., Israel time, on the Initial Completion Date by following the procedures described above. If Notices of Objection have been delivered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry
transfer as set forth above, any notice of withdrawal must also specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be adjusted to reflect the withdrawal of such Shares and otherwise comply with DTC’s procedures.

5. Determination of Validity. All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of Notices of Objection will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law. None of us or our affiliates or assigns, the U.S. Depositary, the Information Agent, our Israeli counsel or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU SUBMIT A NOTICE OF OBJECTION WITH RESPECT TO SHARES AND THEREAFTER YOU DELIVER TO US A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY WHICH YOU TENDER THOSE SHARES, WE WILL DISREGARD YOUR NOTICE OF OBJECTION. SIMILARLY, IF YOU SUBMIT TO US A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL BY WHICH YOU TENDER SHARES, AND THEREAFTER YOU DELIVER TO US A NOTICE OF OBJECTION WITH RESPECT TO THOSE SHARES, WE WILL DISREGARD YOUR LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. IF YOU SUBMIT A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND A NOTICE OF OBJECTION CONCURRENTLY WITH RESPECT TO THE SAME SHARES, THE NOTICE OF OBJECTION WILL BE DISREGARDED.
