COMPANY STATUS UPDATE

// TEL AVIV ( Israel )

_________________________________________

Mr. Yoel Gilead

CEO

ATLAS LOGISTICS LTD.

Email: yoel@atlaslogistics.co.il

Greetings to all our GTO Partners and Friends -

We have received a number of inquiries from GTO Members asking for an update as to our present situation here in Israel.

Based upon news reports, we are confident everyone is aware of the fact Israel is now basically engaged in a War Situation. This message is not designed to present any political or other positions. We wish to simply provide an update with regard to the status of Atlas Logistics relative to the safety of our personnel and any disruption of supply chains.

At present, all employees of Atlas Logistics and their families are safe and accounted for and we are doing all in our power to support them during this period.

At this time, Israel’s major ports continue to function normally and that includes terminals in Ashdod and Haifa. Likewise, inland services – both road and rail – are fully operational in and around the country.

Therefore, bookings will continue to be accepted to and from Israel, and cargo already booked to and from the country will be facilitated.

Tel Aviv Airport remains open and operational, and a number of our partner airlines are continuing to use the hub. Some carriers have cancelled flights to and from Tel Aviv in the wake of the ongoing situation, and we will reach out to affected air freight customers directly to discuss options for their cargo.

The circumstances are subject to change at very short notice. But please rest assured our teams are working hard to draw up contingency plans in the event of any operational instability to keep supply chains moving seamlessly.

We will communicate all new information and any changes to our customers as soon as possible. The staff of Atlas Logistics in Israel are continuing to work in order to provide optimal service to our customers,

Anyone with any questions or that may require assistance is asked to contact us without hesitation.

Best regards to all -

Yoel Gilead

CEO

Atlas Logistics
