Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Omrix Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") has appointed Asaf Alperovitz, age 38, as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company, effective October 23, 2008.

Before joining the Company, Mr. Alperovitz most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Tefron Ltd. ("Tefron"). Mr. Alperovitz joined Tefron in 2005. From 2003 until 2005, Mr. Alperovitz was CFO of Corigin Ltd., an international enterprise software company. Prior to 2003, Mr. Alperovitz held a variety of management positions with Ernst & Young in Israel and the United States. Mr. Alperovitz is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Economics and a Masters in Business Administration from Tel-Aviv University.

In connection with Mr. Alperovitz’s appointment as CFO, on August 6, 2008, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Alperovitz, effective October 23, 2008. The agreement shall continue until either the Company or Mr. Alperovitz gives 150 days’ prior written notice to the other party of the intent to terminate the agreement. Under the agreement, Mr. Alperovitz is entitled to receive a U.S. equivalent annual base salary of $268,672, and an annual bonus award of up to 40% of his annual base salary based on the Company’s and individual performance measures established each year by the Company’s CEO and board of directors. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Alperovitz was granted stock options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock options are scheduled to vest in equal annual installments over four years (with accelerated vesting upon our change of control, as such term is defined in the agreement), generally subject to Mr. Alperovitz’s continued employment with the Company.

Mr. Alperovitz has agreed that he will not compete with the Company for a period of one year following termination of his employment for any reason. Mr. Alperovitz is also bound by a separate employee undertaking, which contains the Company’s standard confidentiality, proprietary information, assignment of inventions, and non-solicitation covenants.

During the term of Mr. Alperovitz’s employment agreement with the Company, if the Company terminates Mr. Alperovitz’s employment without "cause," Mr. Alperovitz is entitled to receive during the 150 day notice period all of the salary and benefits afforded to him under the agreement, other than paid vacation and sick leave.

A copy of the press release announcing these events is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
