| NEW YORK,
NY-- Medis Technologies Ltd. (MDTL) announced today that it has completed
the issuance of 1.5 million shares of its common stock in an offering registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares of common stock
were loaned to an affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., the sole
book-running manager of the offering, under a 5-year share lending agreement.
The common stock is being used by the affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets
Inc. to facilitate hedging transactions undertaken by purchasers of Medis'
Series A preferred stock which were sold by Medis in a concurrent private
placement.
The shares that Medis has loaned
to the affiliate of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. are expected to be reflected
as issued and outstanding in stockholders' equity and such affiliate's

of outstanding shares. Medis does not expect that such shares will be considered
outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share.
