Risk Factors |
• |
As the raw materials used to produce energy in the WtE market are not freely available (as is the case with wind and solar energies),
the success of a WtE plant depends, among other things, on the prices of feedstock required in order to maintain the optimal mix of feedstock
necessary to maximize performance of the plants and meet a certain of range of energy (gas, electricity or heat) production levels. In
order to ensure a continuous supply of raw materials, both in terms of the quantity and the quality and composition of the raw materials,
a WtE plant is required to enter into supply relationships with several feedstock suppliers, such as farmers, food manufacturers and other
specialized feedstock suppliers and to continuously monitor the proposed transactions to locate the most efficient and beneficial offers.
Any increase in the price of feedstock or shortage in the type or quality of feedstock required to produce the desired energy levels with
the technology used by the plant could slow down or halt operations, causing a material adverse effect on the results of operations. The
price and quality of the feedstock mix might also increase the plant’s operating costs, either due to the need to purchase a more
expensive feedstock mix to meet the desired energy production levels, or due to an increase in residues and the resulting increase of
surplus quantities that require removal. In addition to the impact of the quality of the feedstock on the production levels, maintaining
and monitoring the feedstock quality is crucial for preventing malfunctions in the process, for example due to high levels of certain
chemicals that might harm the CHP engines. Additionally, a wrong feedstock mix and/or low feedstock quality might create biology problems
such as lower bacteria population, which directly adversely impacts biogas production. Therefore, any shortage of quality feedstock and
changes in the feedstock mix available for use could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of our WtE plants. As
a result of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict, our WtE plants experienced a shortage of raw materials and feedstock, which impacted
the composition of the materials used by the facilities and their production. |
• |
The operation of WtE facilities is highly complex and requires ongoing supervision and maintenance. Several factors may impact the
efficiency of the facilities, including the availability and cost of feedstock, the composition of feedstock, malfunctions and damages.
In addition, following a correction of malfunctions that disables the system, the facility does not generally return to maximum capacity
immediately and the startup is implemented gradually. Although we have insurance policies that cover damages and loss of revenue upon
certain events, these insurance policies may not cover all damages or be available to us in the future, on acceptable terms or at all.
|
• |
The expense level and profitability of WtE plants depends on many factors, many of which are not within our control. For example,
the recent increase in fuel prices increased transportation costs and operating expenses of our WtE plants and the increase in electricity
prices increased the costs of operations of our Gelderland biogas plant, that did not produce electricity for self-use during 2022. Any
future increase in expenses could materially impact the results of operations and financial condition of our WtE plants. |
• |
The WtE industry is subject to many laws and regulations which govern the protection of the environment, quality control standards,
health and safety requirements, and the management, transportation and disposal of different types of waste. Environmental laws and regulations
may require removal or remediation of pollutants and may impose civil and criminal penalties for violations. The costs arising from compliance
with environmental laws and regulations may increase operating costs for our WtE plants and we may be exposed to penalties for failure
to comply with such laws and regulations. In addition, existing regulation governing waste management and waste disposal provide incentives
to feedstock suppliers to use waste management solutions such as the provision of feedstock to WtE plants. Any regulatory changes that
impose additional environmental restrictions on the WtE industry or that relieve feedstock suppliers from the stringent regulation concerning
waste management and disposal could increase our operating costs, limit or change the cost of the feedstock available to us, and adversely
affect our results of operations. |
• |
Electricity tariffs, which are determined and updated solely by the Israeli Electricity Authority, have a material impact on the
results of operations of Dorad. |
• |
The operation of the Dorad Power Plant is highly complex and depends upon the continued ability: (i) to operate the various turbines,
and (ii) to turn the turbines on and shut them down quickly based on demand. The profitability of Dorad also depends on the accuracy of
the proprietary forecasting system used by Dorad. Any defects or disruptions, or inaccuracies in forecasts, may result in an inability
to provide the amount of electricity required by Dorad’s customers or in over-production, both of which could have a material adverse
effect on Dorad’s operations and profitability. |
• |
Dorad’s operations depend upon the expertise and success of its operations and maintenance contractor, who is responsible for
the day-to-day operations of the Dorad Power Plant. If the services provided by such contractor will cause delays in the production of
energy or any other damage to the Dorad Power Plant or to Dorad’s customers, Dorad may be subject to claims for damages and to additional
expenses and losses and therefore Dorad’s profitability could be adversely affected. Dorad also depends on certain sole suppliers
for services, including the IEC, which distributes the electricity manufactured by Dorad to Dorad’s customers and Israel Natural
Gas Lines Ltd., who delivers the gas required for Dorad’s operations. Any disagreement or disruption of these services could adversely
impact Dorad’s operations. |
• |
Significant equipment failures may limit Dorad’s production of energy. Although damages from equipment failures generally covered
by insurance policies, any such failures may cause disruption in the production, may not all be covered by the insurance and the correction
of such failures may involve a considerable amount of resources and investment and could therefore adversely affect Dorad’s profitability.
|
• |
Dorad’s operations depend on the availability and accurate function of its information technology, communications and data
retrieval and analysis systems. As such, Dorad is exposed to risks of cyber-attacks, either directed specifically at Dorad or at infrastructure
or Israeli sites in general. The occurrence of a cyber-attack may halt Dorad’s operations and result in damages to Dorad’s
financial results and reputation. |
• |
The construction of the Dorad Power Plant was mainly financed by a consortium of financing entities pursuant to a long-term credit
facility and such credit facility provides for pre-approval by the consortium of certain of Dorad’s actions and contracts with third
parties and further includes a list of events that may enable the lenders to demand immediate repayment of the credit facility. Changes
in the credit ratings of Dorad and its shareholders, non-compliance with financing and other covenants, delays in provision of required
pre-approvals or disagreements with the financial entities, material changes in Dorad’s licenses or a loss of license by Dorad and
additional factors may trigger certain rights granted to the lenders under the financing documents and may adversely affect Dorad’s
operations and profitability. |
• |
Dorad entered into a long-term natural gas supply agreement, or the Tamar Agreement, with the partners in the “Tamar”
license located in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel, or Tamar. This agreement includes a “take or pay” mechanism,
subject to certain restrictions and conditions that may result in Dorad paying for natural gas not actually required for its operations.
In addition, in November 2022, Dorad started purchasing natural gas from Energean Israel Ltd., or Energean. Dorad’s operations depend
on the timely, continuous and uninterrupted supply of natural gas from Tamar and Energean and on the existence of sufficient reserves
throughout the term of the agreements with Tamar and Energean. Any disruptions in the gas supply, could adversely impact Dorad’s
operations and results of operations. In addition, the price of natural gas under the supply agreements with Tamar and Energean is linked
to production tariffs determined by the Israeli Electricity Authority but cannot be lower than the “final floor price” included
in the agreements. In the event of future reductions in the production tariff, the price of gas may reach the “floor price”
and thereafter will not be further reduced. Any delays, disruptions, increases in the price of natural gas under the agreement, or shortages
in the gas supply from Tamar or Energean will adversely affect Dorad’s results of operations. |
• |
The Dorad power plant is subject to environmental regulations, aimed at increasing the protection of the environment and reducing
environmental hazards, including by way of imposing restrictions regarding noise, harmful emissions to the environment and handling of
hazardous materials. Currently the costs of compliance with the foregoing requirements are not material. Any breach or other noncompliance
with the applicable laws may cause Dorad to incur additional costs due to penalties and fines and expenses incurred in order to regain
compliance with the applicable laws, all of which may have an adverse effect on Dorad’s profitability and results of operations.
|
• |
Due to the agreements with contractors of the Dorad Power Plant and the indexation included in the gas supply agreement, Dorad is
exposed to changes in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against the NIS. To minimize this exposure Dorad executed forward transactions
to purchase U.S. dollars against the NIS. In addition, due to the indexing to the Israeli consumer price index under Dorad’s credit
facility, Dorad is exposed to fluctuations in the Israeli CPI, which may adversely affect its results of operations and profitability.
For example, Dorad’s financing expenses increased during 2022 due to an increase in the Israeli CPI of approximately 5.3% during
the year. Dorad entered into hedging transaction in order to minimize the risk. |
• |
Dorad is involved in several arbitration and court proceedings initiated by Dorad’s shareholders, including Dori Energy. Disagreements
and disputes among shareholders may interfere with Dorad’s operations and specifically with Dorad’s business plan and potential
growth. |
• |
The electricity production sector in Israel has expanded and evolved during recent years, with the introduction of privately held
electricity production facilities. Dorad is subject to competition from existing or new electricity producers, who will attempt to sell
electricity directly to private customers, including Dorad’s customers or potential customers. The added competition may reduce
the rates received by Dorad and therefore decrease its revenues and profitability. |
• |
Dorad is required to make payments to various third parties, including the financing consortium, the gas suppliers, the O&M contractor
and the gas transmission service provider. In the event Dorad will not have sufficient liquidity to comply with its payment obligations,
its operations and financial results may be materially adversely impacted. |
• |
The Covid-19 crisis affected Dorad’s customers (which include hotels and other industrial customers), and therefore any decrease
in electricity consumption by Dorad’s customers and in Israel generally (affecting the amount of electricity purchased by the IEC
from Dorad), may affect Dorad’s financial results. Dorad is monitoring the re-spreading of the virus and continuously examines the
options for dealing with damage to its income. |
• |
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or business conditions and cross currency movements and limiting our flexibility
in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our industry and the economy in general; |
• |
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thus reducing the funds available
for operations and future business development; and |
• |
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to operate, develop and expand our business. |

Business Overview |
• |
Reliability - Solar energy production does not require fossil fuels and is therefore less dependent on this limited natural resource
with volatile prices. Although there is variability in the amount and timing of sunlight over the day, season and year, a properly
sized and configured system can be designed to be highly reliable while providing long-term, fixed price electricity supply. |
• |
Convenience - Solar power systems can be installed on a wide range of sites, including small residential roofs, the ground, covered
parking structures and large industrial buildings. Most solar power systems also have few, if any, moving parts and are generally guaranteed
to operate for 20-25 years, resulting in low maintenance and operating costs and reliability compared to other forms of power generation.
|
• |
Cost-effectiveness - While solar power has historically been more expensive than fossil fuels, there are continual advancements in
solar panel technology which increase the efficiency and lower the cost of production, thus making the production of solar energy even
more cost effective. |
• |
Environmental - Solar power is one of the cleanest electric generation sources, capable of generating electricity without air or
water emissions, noise, vibration, habitat impact or waste generation. In particular, solar power does not generate greenhouse gases that
contribute to global climate change or other air pollutants, as power generation based on fossil fuel combustion does, and does not generate
radioactive or other wastes as nuclear power and coal combustion do. It is anticipated that environmental protection agencies will limit
the use of fossil fuel based electric generation and increase the attractiveness of solar power as a renewable electricity source.
|
• |
Security - Producing solar power improves energy security both on an international level (by reducing fossil energy purchases from
hostile countries) and a local level (by reducing power strains on local electrical transmission and distribution systems). |

The actual capacity of a photovoltaic plant is generally subject to a degradation of approximately 0.5% per year, depending on climate
conditions and quality of the solar panels. |
2. |
These results are not indicative of future results due to various factors, including changes in the regulation and in the climate
and the degradation of the solar panels. |
3. |
The initial tariff of NIS 0.9631/kWh was fixed for a period of 20 years and is updated once a year based on changes to the Israeli
CPI of October 2011. The tariff was NIS 0.9946/kWh in 2021 and increased to NIS 1.0185/kWh in 2022. |
4. |
As a result of the accounting treatment of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant as a financial asset, out of total proceeds from the sale of
electricity of approximately €4.3 million and €4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively, only
revenues related to the ongoing operation of the plant in the amount of approximately €1 million and €1.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. |
5. |
The Talasol PV Plant is 51% owned by us and the revenues included in the table reflect 100% ownership. |
6. |
As the Ellomay Solar PV Plant was connected to the Spanish national grid during June 2022, no revenues were recorded in connection
with this PV Plant for the year ended December 31, 2021 and during the year ended December 31, 2022 until connection to the national grid.

(ii) |
identified some suitable areas. |
(i) |
the sites where plants of the same source are already installed and where non-substantial modification works are carried out, as
well as, for PV plants only, the sites where, on the date of entry into force of the provision, there are photovoltaic plants on which,
without change in the occupied area or otherwise with changes in the occupied area within the limits referred to in (vi)(a) below, substantial
modification work is carried out for refurbishment, repowering or complete reconstruction, including with the addition of storage systems
with a capacity not exceeding 8 MWh for each MW of power of the photovoltaic plant; |
(ii) |
the areas of sites undergoing reclamation; |
(iii) |
quarries and mines that have ceased, not reclaimed or abandoned or are in an environmentally degraded condition; |
(iv) |
sites and facilities at the disposal of Italian State Railways Group companies and rail infrastructure managers as well as highway
concession companies; |
(v) |
sites and facilities in the availability of the airport management companies within the perimeter of relevance of the airports of
the smaller islands subject to the necessary technical verifications by the National Civil Aviation Authority; |
(vi) |
exclusively for photovoltaic plants, including those with ground-mounted modules, in the absence of constraints under Part Two of
the Legislative Decree no. 42 of January 22, 2004, or the Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code: |
a) |
areas classified as agricultural, enclosed within a perimeter whose points are not more than 500 meters from areas of industrial,
artisanal and commercial use, including sites of national interest, as well as quarries and mines; |
b) |
areas within industrial plants and establishments, as defined in Legislative Decree no. 152/2006, as well as classified agricultural
areas enclosed within a perimeter whose points are no more than 500 meters from the same plant or establishment; |
c) |
the areas adjacent to the highway network within a distance not exceeding 300 meters; and |

(i) |
Enrolment in Registers – PV plants with a power capacity of more than 20 kW and less than 1 MW that belong to Groups A and
A-2 must be enrolled in the Registers, through which the available power quota is allocated on the basis of specific priority criteria.
With respect to plants below 1 MW, the first criterion is the installation of the plant in areas such as closed dumps or mines, or (for
A-2 plants) on public buildings such as schools or hospitals. This is aimed at giving preference to environment-friendly plants and therefore,
for the avoidance of doubt, such plants will be preferred to other plants even if the tariff reduction set out in the application is lower.
|
(ii) |
Participation to Auction Procedures – PV plants with a power capacity greater than or equal to 1 MW that belong to Groups A
must participate in the Auction Procedures, through which the available power quota is allocated, according to the highest discount offered
on the incentive level and, at equal discount, applying further priority criteria. Incentives are awarded for a period of 20 years at
the outcome of seven tenders held between September 2019 and September 2021, whereby the effective granted tariff will be equal to the
reference tariff as reduced by the percentage reduction offered by the applicant. With respect to plants above 1 MW, the first criterion
is instead the tariff percentage reduction. |
(i) |
the All-in Tariff (Tariffa Onnicomprensiva, or TO) consisting of a single tariff, corresponding
to the incumbent tariff, which also remunerates the electricity withdrawn by the GSE; and |
(ii) |
an incentive calculated as the difference between the incumbent tariff and the hourly zonal energy price, since the energy produced
remains at the operator’s disposal. |
b. |
Red II Decree Incentives |
(i) |
as to small plants with a power capacity equal to or less than 1 MW, incentives will be awarded: |
a) |
as to plants with market competitive generation costs and plants belonging to energy communities or self-consumption configuration,
through direct access to incentives; and |
b) |
as to innovative plants and plants with higher generation costs, through tender procedures.
|
(ii) |
as to big plants, with power capacity above a threshold of at least 1 MW, incentives will be awarded through downward auction procedures.
|
(i) |
the combination of renewables with storage systems is promoted, so as to enable greater programmability of sources, also in coordination
with mechanisms for the development of centralized storage capacity; |
(ii) |
priority access is established for PV plants to be built on suitable areas (aree idonee),
with the same economic offers; and |
(iii) |
participation in incentives is facilitated for those who install PV plants following asbestos removal, with bonus facilities and
the widest possible participation modalities. |
(i) |

per technology established in accordance with criteria defined by ARERA, taking into account investment and operating costs and a fair
return on investment. To this end, in the case of plants incentivized with one-way mechanisms other than those substituting green certificates,
the reference price is equal to the maximum value between the amount of 180 euros per MWh and the tariff payable; |
(ii) |
a market price equal to the monthly average of the hourly zonal market price, calculated as a weighted average for non-programmable
plants, based on the production profile of the individual plant, and as an arithmetic average for programmable plants, or, for supply

7. |
Order TED/1232/2022, of December 2, 2022, which updates the remuneration parameters for its application to the year 2022. |
a) |
The Specific Remuneration is calculated by reference to a “standard facility”
during its “useful regulatory life”. Order 1045/2014 characterized the existing renewable
installations into different categories (referred to as IT-category). These categories were created taking into account the type of technology,
the date of the operating license and the geographical location of renewable installations. |
b) |
According to RD 413/2014, the calculation of the Specific Remuneration of each IT-category shall be performed taking into account
the following parameters: |
(i) |
the standard revenues for the sale of energy production, valued at the production market prices (currently set at €54.42/MWh,
€52.12/MWh and €48.82/MWh for 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively); |
(ii) |
the standard exploitation costs; and |
(iii) |
the standard value of the initial investment. For this calculation, only those costs and investments that correspond exclusively
to the electricity production activity will be taken into account. Furthermore, costs or investments determined by administrative rules
or acts that do not apply throughout Spanish territory will not be taken into account. |
c) |
Order 1045/2014 established the relevant parameters applicable to each IT-category. Therefore, to ascertain the total amount of the
Specific Remuneration applicable to a particular installation it is necessary to (i) identify the applicable IT-category and (ii) integrate
in the Specific Remuneration formula set forth in RD 413/2014 the economic parameters established by Order 1045/2014 for the relevant
IT-category and the relevant update regulation (i.e., Order 171/2020). |
d) |
The Specific Remuneration is calculated for regulatory periods of six years, each divided into two regulatory semi-periods of three
years. The first Regulatory Period commenced July 14, 2013 and terminated on December 31, 2019. The second Regulatory Period commenced
January 1, 2020 and terminates December 31, 2025 (the corresponding first Regulatory Semi-Period ends December 31, 2022). |
e) |
The Specific Remuneration is designed to ensure a “reasonable rate of return” or profitability that during the first
regulatory period (i.e., until December 2019) shall be equivalent to a Spanish 10-year sovereign bond calculated as the average of stock
price in the stock markets during the months of April, May and June 2013, increased by 300 basis points (7.398% for plants prior to RDL
9/2013). RDL 17/2019 has fixed the reasonable rate of return for the second Regulatory Period at 7.09%. However, for plants prior to RDL
the reasonable rate of return will remain at 7.398% if the conditions set forth in RDL 17/2019 are met (mainly to withdraw from any arbitration
procedure, or to renounce any compensation, in connection with the regulatory changes in Spain that modified the remuneration regime).
|
f) |
Pursuant to RD 413/2014, the revenues from the Specific Remuneration are set based on the number of operating hours reached by the
installation in a given year and adjusted to electricity market price deviations. Furthermore, the economic parameters of the Specific
Remuneration might be reviewed by the Spanish government at the end of a regulatory period or semi-period, however the standard value
of the initial investment and the useful regulatory life will remain unchanged for the entire Regulatory Useful Life of the installation,
as determined by Order 1045/2014. |
a. |
Tamar has committed to supply natural gas to Dorad in an aggregate quantity of up to approximately 11.2 billion cubic meters (BCM),
or the Total Contract Quantity, in accordance with the conditions set forth in the Tamar Agreement. |
b. |
The Tamar Agreement will terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) sixteen (16) years following the commencement of delivery of natural
gas to the Dorad power plant or (ii) the date on which Dorad will consume the Total Contract Quantity in its entirety. Each of the parties
to the Tamar Agreement has the right to extend the Tamar Agreement until the earlier of: (i) an additional year provided certain conditions
set forth in the Tamar Agreement were met, or (ii) the date upon which Dorad consumes the Total Contract Quantity in its entirety.
|
c. |
Dorad has committed to purchase or pay for (“take or pay”) a minimum annual quantity of natural gas in a scope and in
accordance with a mechanism set forth in the Tamar Agreement. The Tamar Agreement provides that if Dorad did not use the minimum quantity
of gas as committed, it shall be entitled to consume this quantity every year during the three following years and this is in addition
to the minimum quantity of gas Dorad is committed to. |
d. |
The Tamar Agreement grants Dorad the option to reduce the minimum annual quantity so that it will not exceed 50% of the average annual
gas quantity that Dorad will actually consume in the three years preceding the notice of exercise of the option, subject to adjustments
set forth in the Tamar Agreement. The reduction of the minimum annual quantity will be followed by a reduction of the other contractual
quantities set forth in the Tamar Agreement. The option described herein is exercisable during the period commencing as of the later of:
(i) the end of the fifth year after the commencement of delivery of natural gas to Dorad in accordance with the Tamar Agreement or (ii)
January 1, 2020, and ending on the later of: (i) the end of the seventh year after the commencement of delivery of natural gas to Dorad
in accordance with the Tamar Agreement or (ii) December 31, 2022. In the event Dorad exercises this option, the quantity will be reduced
at the end of a one year period from the date of the notice and until the termination of the Tamar Agreement. This option was exercised
by Dorad (see below for additional details). |
e. |
The natural gas price set forth in the Tamar Agreement is linked to the production tariff as determined from time to time by the
Israeli Electricity Authority, which includes a “final floor price.” Any delays, disruptions, increases in the price of natural
gas under the agreement, or shortages in the gas supply from Tamar will adversely affect Dorad’s results of operations. In addition,
as future reductions in the production tariff will not affect the price of natural gas under the agreement with Tamar, Dorad’s profitability
may be adversely affected. |
f. |
Dorad may be required to provide Tamar with guarantees or securities in the amounts and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Tamar Agreement. |
g. |
The Tamar Agreement includes additional provisions and undertakings as customary in agreements of this type such as compensation
mechanisms in the event of shortage in supply, the quality of the natural gas, limitation of liability, etc. |
h. |
The Tamar Agreement provides that during an “interim period” (as such term is defined in the Tamar Agreement), the supply
of the gas to Dorad will be subject to the quantities of the natural gas that will be available to Tamar at that time after supply of
natural gas to other customers of Tamar with which contracts were signed for supply of natural gas prior to the signing of the agreement
with Dorad. The Tamar Agreement further provides that the interim period will end when Tamar completes, should it ultimately complete,
a project for expansion of the supply capacity of a system for treatment and transfer of natural gas from the Tamar reserve, subject to
the fulfillment of preconditions detailed in the agreement. In April 2015, Dorad received a notification from Tamar whereby the “interim
period” will begin on May 5, 2015. In November 2016, Dorad received notification from Tamar whereby the interim period will end
on September 30, 2020. On January 22, 2020, Dorad received a notification from the partners in the Tamar license that the “interim
period” will end on March 1, 2020. According to the notification and the terms of the Tamar Agreement, Tamar considers Dorad as
a permanent customer commencing from the end of the “interim period”. |

As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the
sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct the disposition of any security. For purposes of this table,
a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired within 60 days from March 31, 2023 through the exercise
of any option or warrant. Ordinary shares subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days
are deemed outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding such options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding
for computing the ownership percentage of any other person. The amounts and percentages are based upon 12,852,585 ordinary shares outstanding
as of March 31, 2023. This number of outstanding ordinary shares does not include a total of 258,046 ordinary shares held at that date
as treasury shares under Israeli law, all of which were repurchased by us. For so long as such treasury shares are owned by us they have
no rights and, accordingly, are neither eligible to participate in or receive any future dividends which may be paid to our shareholders
nor are they entitled to participate in, be voted at or be counted as part of the quorum for, any meetings of our shareholders.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

As the Company directs the operations of Talasol and the rights granted to the Talasol Partners are minority protective rights, these changes in the Company’s ownership interest in Talasol did not result in loss of control and were accounted for as equity transactions. The Company therefore recognized in equity an amount of approximately €6.1 million, less associated expenses in the amount of approximately €0.7 million on the date of the Talasol SPA.

On February 11, 2021, the Manara PSP Project Finance achieved financial closing. The Manara PSP Project Finance facilities are provided by a consortium of Israeli banks and institutional investors, arranged, and led by Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank Ltd. The Manara PSP Project Finance long term facilities were in the aggregate amount of approximately NIS 1.27 billion (approximately €338 million). This aggregate amount represents the real (non-indexed) value of the Long Term Facilities as of the date of Financial Closing. Such amount, as well as the standby facilities, is linked to a synthetic composite index comprising a weighted average of the indices and currencies applicable to the Manara PSP’s construction costs (the “Project Index”), on a yearly basis during the first 4 years of construction, and thereafter semi-annually until construction end. According to the linkage mechanism set out in the loan agreements, the amount of the Long Term Facilities is linked to the Project Index.

On February 1, 2023, the Company issued NIS 220 million (approximately €58.5 million, as of the issuance date) of the Series E Secured Debentures, due March 31, 2029, through a public offering in Israel. The net proceeds of the offering, net of related expenses such as consultancy fee and commissions, were approximately NIS 218 million (approximately €56 million as of the issuance date). The Series E Debentures are secured by pledges on the shares of Dori Energy held by Ellomay Energy LP and on Ellomay Energy LP’s rights and agreements in connection with shareholder’s loans provided by Ellomay Energy LP to Dori Energy. The Deed of Trust governing the Series E Secured Debentures includes several limitations and requirements applicable to the Company’s holdings in Dori Energy and additional provisions that may limit the Company’s ability to sell the Company’s holdings in Dori Energy or to revise arrangements with Dori Energy. The principal amount of Series E Secured Debentures is repayable four equal installment on March 31 from 2026 through 2029 (inclusive). The Series E Secured Debentures bear a fixed interest at the rate of 6.05% per year (that is not linked to the Israeli CPI or otherwise), payable semi-annually on March 31 and September 30, commencing March 31, 2023 through March 31, 2029 (inclusive).

On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the “JDA”) for the development of solar photovoltaic projects in the State of Texas. The JDA was executed with a project development company experienced in the development of energy projects, site acquisition, capital markets and commercial management. The JDA provides for the initial development, design, construction and finance of two solar PV projects with aggregate projected DC capacity of 23 MW (the “First Projects”). The First Projects are in advanced stages of development and the estimated capital costs of the First Projects are in the range of $25-$27 million. The Company’s share of the capital costs of the First Projects is estimated at approximately $18-$20 million and the balance is intended to be provided by tax equity sources with whom the Company is currently in discussions. The sites for the First Projects will be leased under long-term leases from special purpose companies (“Landcos”) controlled by the development team. One of the First Projects, with a DC capacity of approximately 13 MW, is expected to achieve Ready to Build status within six months. The JDA also provides for the development of three additional solar PV projects up to Ready to Build status with aggregate DC capacity of approximately 30 MW. The projects to be developed under the JDA will be subject to the ERCOT Distributed Generation (“DG”) Scheme for projects of up to 10 MW AC capacity and the applicable electricity market is the “ERCOT North” zone market. Under the DG Scheme, ERCOT (the electricity regulator of the State of Texas), allows owners of generation assets to sell electricity to Qualified Service Entities (QSE’s) at market rates under Real Time or Day Ahead prices at the local nodes where the projects are located and/or to designated “Behind the Meter” clients under Power Purchase Agreements.

Debentures, the Debentures shall be set a uniform discount rate in accordance with a formula weighting the various discount rates in the Debentures (Series E), inasmuch as there shall be any. In the event of receiving an approval as stated,

the highest discount rate that was created for the series. The members of the Stock Exchange shall deduct withholding tax at the time of repayment of the Debentures in Circulation, in accordance with the discount rate that shall be reported

it is the responsibility of the Debenture Holder (and the Debenture Holder only) who held the Debentures before the series was expanded and until their repayment and who is entitled, in light of their payment, to a refund of withholding
tax, for the over-discount, to submit a report to the tax authority on this matter insofar as he shall wish to receive a tax refund as stated and inasmuch as he is entitled to a tax refund by law.

holding office, pursuant to the instructions of the Competition Authority as stated above, as the case may be. With regards to a declaration regarding a conflict of interests, the Trustee shall inspect the existence of the conflicting
matters, and if necessary shall decide whether the conflict of interests disqualifies that Holder from holding office in the Urgent Representing Body. It is clarified, that the Trustee shall rely on the declarations as stated and shall not
be required to hold an additional inspection or independent investigation. The Trustee’s decision on these matters shall be final.

Securing the Debentures
|
3. |
4. |
4.1. |
The unpaid balance of the Principal of the Debentures (Series E) shall bear interest at a fixed annual rate to be determined in a tender (the “Base Interest”), without linkage to any linkage
basis. It is emphasized that the Base Interest is subject to additions of interest, to the extent that there are any, in respect of failure to meet financial covenants in the manner set out in clause 4.3.1 hereunder and interest in arrears
in the manner set out in clause 8 hereunder.
|
4.2. |
Withholding tax that must be deducted shall be deducted from any payment.
|
4.3. |
Adjustment mechanism of the interest rate:
|
4.3.1. |
Changing the interest rate due to failure to meet certain financial covenants
|
a. |
In case the Company fails to meet any of the financial covenants set forth in clauses 2(b), 3(b) and 4(b) of Appendix 6.2 of the Deed of Trust (hereinafter in this clause 4.3.1: “the Covenants”),
the annual interest rate which the unpaid balance of the Debenture Principal shall bear, shall increase by an annual rate of 0.25% beyond the annual interest rate as it shall be at that time, for breaching each of the Covenants (hereinafter
in this clause 4.3.1: “the Additional Interest”) in such manner that the total addition of maximal Additional Interest is at a rate of 0.75%, for the period of time beginning upon publishing the
financial statements or the financial results, as the case may be, according to which the Company has failed to meet any of the Covenants, and until the full repayment date of the unpaid balance of the Debentures Principal or until the
Company meets the covenant, the deviation from which has led to the Additional Interest (as stated in sub-clause (d) hereinafter), the earlier of these dates. It is clarified, that increasing the interest rate as stated above shall be done
only once for breaching each of the Covenants, inasmuch as it shall occur, and that the interest rate shall not increase once more in case the deviation from that Covenant continues, inasmuch as it shall continue.
|
b. |
No later than five (5) Business Days from the day of publishing the financial statements or the financial results, as the case may be, according to which the Company has failed to meet any of the Covenants, the Company shall publish an
Immediate Report, in which it shall state: (a) the fact that it has failed to meet the Covenant, while specifying the calculation of the Covenant which the Company has failed to meet, and the date on which the failure to meet the Covenant
has begun; (b) the exact interest rate which the balance of the Principal of the Debentures (Series E) shall bear for the period of time beginning on the current Interest Term and until publishing the financial statements or the financial
results, as the case may be (the interest rate shall be calculated according to 365 days a year) (hereinafter in this clause 4.3.1: the “Original Interest” and the “Original
Interest Term” respectively); (c) the interest rate which the balance of the Principal of the Debentures (Series E) shall bear as of the day of publishing the financial statements or the financial results, as the case may be, and
until the actual nearest interest payment day, namely: the Original Interest plus the Additional Interest annual rate (the interest rate shall be calculated according to 365 days a year) as a result of failure to fulfill the Covenants
(hereinafter in this clause 4.3.1: “the Updated Interest”); (d) the weighted interest rate which the Company shall pay the Holders of Debentures (Series E) upon the nearest interest payment day,
pursuant to the stated in sub-clauses (b) and (c) above; (e) the annual interest rate reflected from the weighted interest rate; (f) the annual interest rate and the semi-annual interest rate for the coming periods.
|
c. |
If the day of publishing the financial statements or the financial results, as the case may be, according to which the Company is required to pay Additional Interest in accordance with this clause 4.3.1, shall occur during the days
beginning four days prior to the record date for paying any interest whatsoever and ending upon the interest payment day closest to the aforementioned record date (hereinafter in this clause 4.3.1: “the
Deferral Period”), the Company shall pay the Holders of Debentures (Series E), upon the nearest interest payment day, the Original Interest, prior to the change, alone (subject to previous changes which have occurred, if any have
occurred, to the interest rate in light of the stated in this clause), when the interest rate pursuant to the Additional Interest during the Deferral Period, shall be paid upon the next interest payment day. The Company shall notify, in an
Immediate Report, the accurate Semi-Annual and Annual interest rate for payment upon the next interest payment day.
|
d. |
It shall be clarified, that in case of deviation in one or more Covenants, in a way which has affected the interest rate which the Debentures (Series E) shall bear, following which a Covenant shall be corrected in a way that the
deviation ceases to exist (thus, the Debenture Holders shall cease to be entitled to Additional Interest for the deviation from that Covenant), there shall be a decrease in the interest rate which shall be paid by the Company to the
Debenture Holders, provided that it shall not fall below the Base Interest, applying as of the day of publishing the financial statements or the financial results, which show that the deviation was corrected, so that in case the stated
Covenant was corrected, the interest rate which the unpaid balance of the Principal of the Debentures (Series E) shall bear, shall be, inasmuch as the interest rate was not previously increased due to a deviation from another Covenant,
equal to the Base Interest rate. In this case, the Company shall act in accordance with the stated in sub-clauses (a) to (d) above, mutatis mutandis.
|
e. |
In any case, the Additional Interest shall not increase, as a result of failure to meet the Covenants, over 0.75%. Interest in arrears, to the extent applicable in accordance with the provisions of clause 8 hereunder, shall be added to
the said interest and shall not constitute a part thereof.

payment date, as follows: March 25 (with respect to payment dated March 31) and September 24 (with respect to payment dated September 30) (hereinafter: the “Record Date”) except for the last payment

registered letter to the Company. The Company shall fulfill the instruction if it shall reach its registered office at least 30 days before the record date for paying any payment according to the Debentures.
|
7.4. |
In the event that the notice shall be received by the Company late, the Company shall act according to it only with respect to payments scheduled after the payment date that is in proximity to the date the notice was received.
|
7.5. |
If the Debenture Holder entitled to such payment did not deliver details to the Company regarding his bank account, any payment on account of the Principal and interest shall be made by check which shall be sent by registered mail to his
last address written in the registry of Debenture Holders or by bank transfer crediting the bank account of the Debenture Holder, according to the Company’s choice. Sending a check to a person entitled by registered mail as aforementioned
shall be considered for all intents and purposes as payment of the sum stipulated in it at the date of sending it by mail provided that it was paid upon lawfully presenting it for payment.
