Schedule TO
Exhibit (a)(1)(A) – Offer to Purchase
Summary Term Sheet, page 1
2. Provide a brief statement of the accounting treatment for the offer. See Item
1004(a)(1)( xi) of Regulation M -A and Item 4 of Schedule TO.
Information Concerning Maga l, page 23
3. Include the address of Magal Security System Ltd.’s princip al executive offices in Israel .
Currently your disclosure indicates that its offices are “near Tel Aviv. ” See Item 1002(a)
of Regulation M -A and Item 2 of Schedule TO -T.
Sources and Amount of Funds , page 25
4. We note the disclosure in the first paragraph of this section that Bidders may borrow
funds to purchase tendered shares. If so, they must amend the disclosure document to
provide the information required by Item 1007 (b) and (d) of Regulation M-A. This
information must be provided with sufficient time remaining in t he initial offer period
such that shareholders may absorb the information after it is disclosed. Please confirm
your understanding in your r esponse letter.
Conditions of the Offer, page 25
5. All offer conditions must be objective and outside the control of bidders in a tender offer.
Conditioning an offer on events that the Bidder Group could or did foresee raises issues
of an illusory offer prohibited under Regulation 14E because shareholders cannot know
what Bidder Group anticipated . Please revise.
6. See our last comment above. We have simil ar concerns about the definition of “event ” in
this section, which is defined in reference to someth ing that “would ca use the terms of the
offer as a result of such ‘event ’ to become materially different from the terms whi ch a
reasonable offeror would have proposed had it known of such ‘event ’ on the date of this
offer to purchase. ” It is not clear to us how a shareh older could discern what events a
reasonable offeror would or could anticipate. Please revise.
7. Revise to c larify what is meant by a “limitation on pric es” on the NASDAQ for purposes
of these offer conditions.
8. In the second to last bullet point on page 26, clarify what is meant by an adverse effect on
“the trading of Magal shares. ” If you are referring to a drop in the price of Magal shares,
quantify the percentage change and specify from what trading price the change will be

measured. In addition, your revised disclosure should make clear as of what date this
change would be measured (at expiration or at any time while the offer is pending).
9. Refer to the second to last sentence in this section and the reference to any tendered
shares “not theretofore accepted for payment .” It is not clear h ow payment could occur
before conditions to t he offer had been satisfied. Please revise or advise.
Schedule I, page 31
10. For each identified individual, disclos e the material occupations, positions, offices or
employment during the past five years including the start and end dates of each .
