served as RRsat's MSS Managing Director as well as Corporate General Counsel and Company

Organizational Development. Ms. Golan has held executive HR positions in leading high-tech
companies such as AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), where she served as Head of International HR,
and VP HR at Orbit Technologies Ltd (TASE: ORBI).



In addition, RRsat has appointed Mr. Shmulik Koren as CFO as of May 1, 2013. Mr. Koren
is an experienced executive leader who served as CFO and CEO of public companies. Prior to
joining RRsat, Mr. Koren served as CFO and COO of Orbit Technologies Ltd. (TASE: ORBI)
where over the last three years he was responsible for worldwide finance, facility, IT,
legal, IR and operations departments. Prior to Orbit, between 2006 to 2009, Mr. Koren

together at Orbit as CEO and CFO for more than three years. Mr. Itzik Zion, who has served
as the company's CFO since December 2011, will be leaving the company in May to pursue
personal interests. Mr. Zion will work with Mr. Koren to facilitate a smooth transition.



"We are excited with the appointments of Ohad, Tzurit and Shmulik, three talented and
experienced executives," said Avi Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of RRsat. "Each of these
proven executives brings to the job outstanding industry knowledge as well as impressive
leadership and professional abilities. Ohad's new role and the addition of Tzurit and
Shmulik, both of whom I had the pleasure of working closely together at Orbit, to the
RRsat management team, are among the organizational changes we are implementing toward
executing on our growth strategy in general. Specifically, our goal is to increase our
North American business, and these appointments will facilitate our efforts to focus on
target geographies, particularly the United States, create local leadership, expand our
sales organization, and add local origination capabilities. These strategic initiatives
will further improve our offerings and make us more attractive to major U.S. customers and
support our increased focus on live sports and events, leveraging the SM2 acquisition. We
are confident that they are the right people to help drive our successful journey going
forward."
