NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE OF CONTROL IN FORMULA SYSTEM (1985) LTD.

Or-Yeuda, Israel – 03 September 2010 – Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (NASDAQ: FORTY), a leading provider of information technology products, solutions and services, today announces that its controlling shareholders, Emblaze Ltd. (LSE:BLZ) informed Formula that it entered today into an agreement for the sale of its entire shareholding in Formula to Asseco Poland SA, the largest Polish IT company (Warsaw Stock Exchange: ACP) and a leader of the Asseco Group.

The closing of the transaction is expected to occur by no later than November 30, 2010 and is subject to certain closing conditions.

Guy Bernstein, Chief Executive Officer of Formula Systems, said:"I see huge potential in this partnership. Asseco provides access to new markets, especially in the region of East Central Europe, where we have had virtually no significant business so far. I am glad that Formula will have a real impact on the shape and direction of the Asseco group. I hope that together we will manage to acquire further valuable software and IT companies to strengthen our position in the existing markets as well as to open opportunities for new ones."
