Mr. Zvika Naggan today informed the Board of Directors of Cimatron Ltd. that he intends to leave his position as President and CEO of the Company, effective immediately, citing personal reasons.

The Board of Directors of Cimatron accepted Mr. Naggan's resignation and appointed the Company's Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Danny Haran, 47, as the new President and CEO.

Danny Haran joined Cimatron as Vice President of Marketing and Chief Operating Officer in 2003 after having been employed by Comverse Technology where he held several senior management positions, most recently as Chief Operating Officer of the Intelligent Network Division. Prior to Comverse, Mr. Haran managed Medcon Systems, an Israeli-based start-up company.

Zvika is leaving behind him a strong and committed management team that will continue to lead the company in its future challenges. We wish him good luck in his future endeavors.

"We are proud to nominate Danny Haran as the new CEO. In the last two years, Danny has proved his capabilities as COO and VP Marketing. Danny played a key role in the company's effort of creating a world class product for the tooling industry. Having worked closely with Zvika Naggan, I believe the transition of Danny to the CEO position will be smooth.

"Speaking as Chairman of the Board of Directors, as well as on behalf of the two major groups of shareholders in the company (Koonras and DBSI), we remain fully committed to the success and future growth of the company, as well as the success of its partners and distributors' network."
