ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 24, 2002
The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the board of directors (the "Board
of Directors") of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (the "Company" or "Tower") for use at
our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on
November 24, 2002, or at any adjournment thereof. The record date for
determining shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting is

date, we had outstanding and entitled to vote 43,435,933 of our ordinary shares,
par value New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") 1.00 (the "Ordinary Shares").
The Proxy solicited hereby may be revoked at any time prior to its

proxy bearing a later date or by a request for the return of the proxy at the
Meeting. We expect to solicit proxies by mail and to mail this proxy statement

expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners.
Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed, the
persons named as proxies therein will vote the Ordinary Shares covered thereby
in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder executing the Proxy. With
respect to the proposal set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting, a
shareholder may vote in favor of the proposal or against the proposal or may
abstain from voting. Shareholders should specify their choices on the
accompanying proxy card. If no specific instructions are given with respect to
the matters to be acted upon, the shares represented by a signed proxy will be
voted FOR the election of all nominees for election as directors and FOR each of
the other proposals set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Management
is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Meeting.
Any shareholder returning the accompanying proxy may revoke such proxy at
any time prior to its exercise by (i) giving written notice to us of such
revocation, (ii) voting in person at the Meeting or requesting the return of the
proxy at the Meeting or (iii) executing and delivering to us a later-dated
proxy. Written revocations and later-dated proxies should be sent to: Corporate
Secretary, Tower Semiconductor Ltd., Hamada Avenue, Ramat Gavriel Industrial
Park, Post Office Box 619, Migdal Haemek 23105, Israel.
Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on
at the Meeting. Two or more shareholders present, personally or by proxy, who
hold or represent together at least 33% of the voting rights of our issued share
capital will constitute a quorum for the Meeting. Each of the proposals to be
presented at the Meeting requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present
in person or by proxy and holding Ordinary Shares amounting in the aggregate to
at least a majority of the votes actually cast with respect to such proposal. If
within half an hour from the time appointed for the Meeting a quorum is not
present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned for one week, to November 31, 2002 at
the same
hour and place, without it being necessary to notify the shareholders. If a
quorum is not present at the adjourned date of the meeting within half an hour
of the time fixed for the commencement thereof, the persons present shall
