MAGAL Announces a Change to the Board of Directors and a Grant of $1.2 Million
to the Company's Employees Paid by its Major Shareholders

Monday June 21, 12:51 pm ET

YAHUD, Israel, June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magal Security Systems, Ltd.
(NASDAQ NM:MAGS, TASE:MAGS) today announced that Mr. Shlomo Yanai resigned from
his position on the company's board of directors.

Magal also announced that the company's major shareholders Mr. N. Kirsh and Mr.
J. Even-Ezra have declared, as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary
of Magal's founding, to personally allocate an award of $1.2 million to the
company's employees worldwide, in gratitude of the employees' efforts and
participation in the company's growth and achievements. The award will be
allocated among the employees according to the discretion of management.

In accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States such an award will be recorded in Magal's second quarter statement of
income as an expense, although it will not effect the total shareholders' equity
or its statement of cash- flows. As a result of the above accounting treatment
the company expects to record a loss for the second quarter of 2004.
