ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 9 (the "AMENDMENT") amends and supplements the Schedule
13D dated October 7, 2002, as amended (the "SCHEDULE 13D"), originally filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Willi-Food Investments Ltd.
("WIL"), Mr. Zwi Williger and Mr. Joseph Williger. On Amendment No 8, dated
September 18, 2007, it was reported that Mr. Zwi Williger and Mr. Joseph
Williger sold the majority of their holdings in WIL to Mr. Arieh Bar Lev (Arcadi
Gaydamak) ("AG"). All references in the Schedule 13D, as amended by this
Amendment, to the "Reporting Persons" refer to WIL and AG.
The Amendment relates to the ordinary shares, NIS 0.10 nominal value per
share (the "ORDINARY SHARES"), of G. Willi-Food International Ltd. (the
"ISSUER"), an Israeli corporation with principal executive offices at 4 Nahal
Harif St., Yavne 81224, Israel. Except as provided herein, none of the
information reported in the Schedule 13D has been modified and the information
reported therein is true and correct as of the date hereof.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D, "Interest in Securities of the Issuer" is
amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) As of January 31, 2008, (i) WIL beneficially owned 6,794,372 Ordinary
Shares, equal to approximately 66.17% of the total number of Ordinary Shares
outstanding as of that date; and (ii) AG beneficially owned 6,794,372 Ordinary
Shares, equal to approximately 66.17% of the total number of Ordinary Shares
outstanding as of that date.
(b) As of January 31, 2008, WIL and AG have shared voting and dispositive
power over the 6,794,372 Ordinary Shares that are beneficially owned by them.
Under Israeli law, AG is deemed to be the controlling shareholder of WIL and has
the ability to control the Issuer's management and policies, including matters
requiring shareholders approval such as election of directors. WIL and AG have
no agreement to act as a group with respect to the shares beneficially owned by
the other.
(f) The following table sets forth all of the transactions in Ordinary
Shares by each of the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 8 to
the Schedule 13D dated September 18, 2007:
