However, we are providing all of our stockholders with the information in the enclosed information statement.  Please read the information statement carefully.  It includes important information about the new share issuance, the proposed share exchange and a series of related transactions.  If completed, we expect these transactions to change our corporate organizational structure and the composition of our stockholder base.  The share exchange and related transactions will only be completed if various conditions are satisfied, as described in the enclosed information statement.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY

ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT

This information statement is being provided by Ormat Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ormat,” “we,” “us,” “the Company” or “our Company”), to notify our stockholders of the approval, pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual rules, of our anticipated issuance of approximately 30,200,000 shares of our common stock (the “share issuance”).  The share issuance was authorized on November 10, 2014 by written consent of Ormat Industries, Ltd., an Israeli company (“Ormat Industries”), which owns approximately 59.75% of our outstanding common stock.

The share issuance was authorized in connection with our proposed acquisition of Ormat Industries and related transactions described in this information statement.  If certain conditions are satisfied, that acquisition will be effected by exchanging the newly-issued shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ormat Industries at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.2592 new shares of Ormat common stock for each ordinary share of Ormat Industries (the “share exchange”).  The share exchange will be made under an Israeli court-approved plan of arrangement under Sections 350 and 351 of the Israel Companies Law (the “plan of arrangement”), on terms and conditions in the plan of arrangement and a share exchange agreement and plan of merger, dated November 10, 2014 (the “share exchange agreement”), by and among Ormat, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems Ltd., an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat (“Ormat Systems”).  The share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the share issuance and share exchange, were approved unanimously on November 10, 2014 by a special committee of the board of directors of the Company consisting solely of independent directors, by the audit committee of the board of directors of the company and by the full board of directors of the Company.

This information statement is being mailed on or about December [___], 2014 to stockholders of record of the Company as of November 28, 2014, and is being delivered to inform you of the corporate actions described herein before they take effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  We encourage you to review this information statement for a more complete description of the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement.

The share issuance will not be made prior to December [__], 2014, which is twenty (20) calendar days following the date on which the definitive form of this information statement is first mailed to our stockholders.

Our principal executive offices are located at 6225 Neil Road, Reno, Nevada 89511, and our main telephone number is (775) 356-9029.

SUMMARY

This is a summary of more detailed information you will find in other sections of this information statement and in documents we have incorporated by reference in this information statement.  We encourage you to read the entire information statement and the documents we have incorporated by reference and not rely on this summary.  A Glossary of certain defined terms is included in Annex D to this information statement.

Overview of  the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

If certain conditions summarized below are satisfied, we plan to engage in a series of related transactions that will change the ownership and corporate structure of the Ormat Industries, Ormat, Ormat Systems and their subsidiaries, which we refer to as the “Ormat group.”

· Ormat Industries.  Ormat Industries Ltd. is an Israeli company whose ordinary shares are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or “TASE.” Ormat Industries’ assets consist primarily of its 59.75% interest in Ormat common stock. Ormat Industries’ other significant assets are (i) certain real estate properties, including production facilities and business offices located in Israel which are currently subleased to Ormat Systems, and (ii) cash, cash equivalents and tradable securities (other than Ormat Industries ownership of Ormat common stock) which, as of September 30, 2014, had an aggregate fair market value (on a standalone basis) of approximately $14.8 million.  As of September 30, 2014, Ormat Industries’ total liabilities (on a standalone basis) were equal to approximately $2.2 million.  

· Ormat Systems.  Ormat Systems Ltd., is an Israeli company, that is our direct wholly-owned subsidiary. Since 2004, Ormat Systems has been engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and selling equipment for geothermal and recovered energy-based electricity generation, remote power units and other power generating units and provide services relating to the engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance of geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants. It is essentially the entity within the Ormat group in charge of our product segment and is the owner of the Ormat group’s intellectual property rights associated with our products. The managerial and operational activities of Ormat Systems are conducted primarily, if not exclusively, in Israel.  

· Ormat.  Ormat Technologies, Inc., is a Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE.”  We are a leading vertically integrated company engaged primarily in the geothermal and recovered energy power business. We design, develop, build, sell, own, and operate clean, environmentally friendly geothermal and recovered energy-based power plants, in most cases using equipment that we design and manufacture.  

· Ormat Subsidiaries.  We conduct most of our operations through direct and indirect subsidiaries, most of which are wholly-owned.  Except for Ormat Systems, the transactions will not affect the ownership or corporate structure of our subsidiaries.

The diagram below shows the current ownership and corporate structure of the Ormat group (excluding any subsidiaries of the Ormat group other than Ormat Systems) prior to consummating the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement.

If these transactions are all completed:

· We will be owned approximately 62.24% by then-current shareholders of Ormat Industries (rather than 59.75% by Ormat Industries) and approximately 38.76% by our then-current shareholders (other than Ormat Industries).  

o The number of shares of our common stock held by non-affiliated, “public” shareholders will increase from approximately 40.25% to approximately 76.08%.  

o The number or shares of our common stock held by entities that are currently affiliates of Ormat Industries, which we refer to as Bronicki Investments and FIMI, will be approximately 23.92%.  

· We will initially own all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ormat Industries and later merge it into Ormat Systems, so that Ormat Industries will no longer exist and Ormat Systems will continue with the combined assets, liabilities, business and operations of both of those companies.

Reasons for the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

We and Ormat Industries believe the transactions will provide a number of benefits to the Ormat group and its shareholders.  Among other things, from Ormat’s perspective, the transactions are expected to:

· unlock value for Ormat’s minority stockholders;  

· enhance the liquidity of Ormat common stock by significantly increasing the public float, improve the market’s perception of Ormat and increase institutional investors’ interest in Ormat;

· result in Ormat no longer being a majority-controlled company;  

· eliminate the inefficiencies and complexities associated with having two separate public companies in two different jurisdictions reporting under different accounting standards;  

· make it easier for Ormat to raise capital and to obtain financing; and  

· enhance Ormat’s identity as a multinational company and ability to penetrate new markets.

We have carefully considered these and other factors in deciding to proceed with the transactions.  As discussed in more detail below, we evaluated the transaction using a special committee of our board of directors.  The special committee engaged independent financial and legal advisors to help evaluate the transactions. See “The Share Exchange and Related Transactions—Background of the Share Exchange.” We received an opinion from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to herein as J.P. Morgan, that, subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the proposed exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to Ormat. The full text of the written opinion of J.P. Morgan dated November 9, 2014, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex A to this information statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Ormat’s stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. J.P. Morgan’s written opinion is addressed to the Ormat board of directors, is directed only to the exchange ratio in the share exchange and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of Ormat. The transactions were unanimously approved by the special committee, audit committee and board of directors of Ormat.  Our board of directors has recommended that our stockholders approve the stock issuance.

Structure of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

The transactions involve a series of related steps that will be implemented through:

· contractual arrangements described below among members of the Ormat group and, in some cases, Bronicki Investments and FIMI.  These include:  

o A Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 10, 2014 among Ormat Industries, Ormat and Ormat Systems.  This agreement, which we refer to as the “share exchange agreement” is the principal contract governing the terms and conditions for the transactions and is described in more detail later in this information statement.  See “The Share Exchange Agreement.”  

4

o Several agreements involving principally our relationship with Bronicki Investments and FIMI, before and after the transactions occur, including:  

§ Voting and Undertaking Agreements between Ormat and each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI.See “Additional Agreements—Ormat Industries Shareholder Undertaking Agreements.”  

§ Voting Neutralization Agreements between Ormat and each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI. See “Additional Agreements—Voting Neutralization Agreements.”  

§ An agreed form of escrow agreement to be entered into by Bronicki Investments, FIMI and an Israeli escrow agent satisfactory to the Israeli Tax Authority or reasonably satisfactory to us. See “Additional Agreements—Ormat Industries Shareholder Undertaking Agreements.”  

§ An agreed form of registration rights agreement to be entered into by us, Bronicki Investments and FIMI, upon request by Bronicki Investments and FIMI.  See “Additional Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement.”  

o A Voting Agreement between Ormat and Ormat Industries.  See “Additional Agreements—Ormat Stockholder Undertaking Agreement.”  

· a court-approved scheme of arrangement implemented through procedures under Sections 350 and 351 of the Israel Companies Law, which among other things, provide for the District Court of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, which we refer to as the “Court,” to approve the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, which we refer to as the “Court approval,” and a special vote of Ormat Industries shareholders, which we refer to as the “Section 350 voting approval.” See “The Share Exchange and Related Transactions—The Section 350 Voting Approval and Court Approval.”  

· a ruling by the Israel Tax Authority, or “ITA,” which, as described below, generally makes the transactions income tax-free to the Ormat group and shareholders of Ormat Industries, if certain conditions described below continue to be satisfied.  See “Material Consequences of Israeli Tax Ruling.”  

· a structure that is intended to qualify as a tax-fee reorganization under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, or “Code.”  See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions.”  

Share Exchange

The first and primary step of this series of transactions, which we refer to as the “share exchange,” will involve, among other things, Ormat issuing approximately 30.2 million new shares of its common stock to Ormat Industries shareholders in exchange for all the outstanding ordinary shares of Ormat Industries.

The share exchange will be based on the “exchange ratio” that has been agreed upon in the share exchange agreement.   That exchange ratio is 0.2592 shares of our common stock for each ordinary share of Ormat Industries, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the share exchange agreement.  This exchange ratio was established taking into account various factors described in more detail below.  See “The Share Exchange and Related Transactions—Background of the Share Exchange.”

If various conditions are satisfied, the share exchange is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.  We refer to the date when this happens as the “effective time” or “closing date.”

5

The share exchange will only be completed if various conditions set forth in the share exchange agreement are satisfied.  Some of these conditions have already been satisfied, including the receipt of the tax ruling from the Israel Tax Authority referred to above, and the approval by Ormat Industries, as our stockholder, of the share exchange and related transactions.  However a number of conditions still must be satisfied before the share exchange can be completed, and there is no assurance when, if at all, that may occur.  These include:

· The Court approval.  

· The Section 350 voting approval.  

· Various “closing conditions” under the share exchange agreement which are described in more detail below.  See “The Share Exchange Agreement—Conditions to Share Exchange.”  

Internal Reorganization Steps

After the share exchange is completed, we will effect a series of internal restructuring steps, culminating in the merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems on March 31, 2015.  These steps are:

· The transfer to us by Ormat Industries of all its shares of our common stock, which will be retired immediately upon receipt.  This transfer is expected to occur within three business days after the share exchange is completed.  

· The transfer by us to Ormat Industries of all the ordinary shares of Ormat Systems we hold in exchange for one ordinary share of Ormat Industries.  This transfer is expected to occur shortly after the first transfer referred to above (but no sooner that one business day after that transfer) and will result in Ormat Systems becoming a subsidiary of Ormat Industries.  

· The merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems, which will result in:  

o Ormat Industries ceasing to exist; and  

o Ormat Systems surviving as our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary with all the assets, liabilities, business and operations of the two combined companies.  

Accounting Treatment of Share Exchange and Related Transactions

The share exchange will be accounted for as the acquisition of Ormat Industries by Ormat, with Ormat as the continuing reporting entity. The historical carrying values of Ormat’s assets and liabilities will not change. The net assets of Ormat Industries, other than its equity interests in Ormat, will be transferred to Ormat at their historical carrying values.

Material Consequences of the Israeli Tax Ruling

The receipt of shares of Ormat common stock by a holder of Ormat Industries ordinary shares in connection with the share exchange is generally a taxable transaction for Israeli income tax purposes.  However, the Ormat group has obtained a ruling from the ITA, which we refer to as the Israeli tax ruling, confirming that, subject to certain conditions stipulated in the Israeli tax ruling, the taxable event related to the capital gains tax to be imposed on holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares in connection with the share exchange will be deferred until the holder subsequently transfers the Ormat common stock it receives in the share exchange.  However, the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Ormat common stock will be a taxable transaction for Israeli income tax purposes for holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares.

Provided that all of the conditions of the Israeli tax ruling are satisfied, including the ongoing restrictions imposed by that ruling, under the income tax laws of Israel, the share exchange will not have any tax consequences for Ormat Industries or Ormat Systems and the related corporate restructuring transactions, including the merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems, will also not be treated as taxable transactions for any member of the Ormat group.

6

The Israeli tax ruling has a number of conditions that must be satisfied.  Some of those conditions will affect the Ormat group for several years after completing the share exchange.  For a more complete discussion of the Israeli tax consequences of the share exchange and related transactions and the conditions imposed on Ormat by the Israeli tax ruling, see “Material Consequences of the Israeli Tax Ruling.” Tax matters are complicated and the consequences of the share exchange to you will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of the share exchange to you, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local, Israel and other foreign and other tax laws.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

The share exchange and related transactions should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.  As such, the transactions will not result in the taxable recognition of any material income, gain or loss to Ormat Industries or to us.  In any event, whether or not the transactions so qualify, since our stockholders do not participate in the share exchange, our stockholders will not recognize taxable gain or loss in connection with the transactions.

For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the share exchange and related transactions, see “The Share Exchange—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions.” Tax matters are complicated and the consequences of the share exchange to you will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences of the share exchange to you, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local, Israeli and other foreign and other tax laws.

Interested Persons

You should be aware that Ormat Industries, certain of our directors and officers, by virtue of their interests in Bronicki Investments and FIMI or otherwise, Bronicki Investments and FIMI have interests in the share exchange and related transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally.  See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The following sets forth certain summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information that gives effect to the share exchange. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth below is presented for informational purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the share exchange been completed on the dates indicated. In addition, the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information set forth below assumes that the share exchange occurred on September 30, 2014 in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations information set forth below for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 assumes that the share exchange occurred on January 1, 2013 in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the share exchange, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, which can be found under “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” As discussed in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Ormat reports its financial results under GAAP and Ormat Industries reports its financial results under IFRS. In addition, the summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for each of Ormat (which are incorporated by reference into this information statement) and Ormat Industries (which are included elsewhere in this information statement) for the applicable periods.

Comparative Per Share Data

The historical net income (loss) per share from continuing operations and net book value per share of Ormat and Ormat Industries shown in the table below are derived from their unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Ormat’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and Ormat Industries’ audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The historical financial information for Ormat has been recognized and recorded in accordance with GAAP and the historical financial information for Ormat Industries has been recognized and recorded in accordance with IFRS. The pro forma comparative per share data for Ormat common stock and Ormat Industries ordinary shares was derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this information statement. The pro forma net book value per common share information as of September 30, 2014 was computed as if the share exchange had been completed on September 30, 2014. The pro forma equivalent information shows the effect of the share exchange for an owner of Ormat Industries ordinary shares. The information was computed by multiplying the pro forma combined income (loss) per share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and pro forma combined net book value per common share as of September 30, 2014 by the exchange ratio. You should read this information in conjunction with such pro forma financial statements and the related notes and with the historical financial information of Ormat and Ormat Industries included or incorporated elsewhere into this information statement, including Ormat’s and Ormat Industries’ financial statements and related notes thereto.

The pro forma shares outstanding as of September 30, 2014 assumes that (1) 116,524,664 ordinary shares of Ormat Industries are converted into 30,203,193 shares of Ormat common stock and (2) the 27,206,580 shares of Ormat common stock currently held by Ormat Industries are canceled in connection with the completion of the share exchange.

The basic and diluted pro forma combined earnings per share for Ormat is computed by dividing the total net income attributable to Ormat's stockholders by basic and diluted weighted average shares, respectively. The basic and diluted pro forma equivalent earnings per share for Ormat Industries is computed by dividing the pro forma total net income attributable to the Ormat’s stockholders by basic and diluted weighted average shares, respectively.

The historical net book values per common share are computed by dividing total stockholders’ equity, before noncontrolling interests, by the number of shares of common stock (in the case of Ormat) and ordinary shares (in the case of Ormat Industries) outstanding at the end of the period. The pro forma net income (loss) per common share of the combined company is computed by dividing the pro forma net income (loss) from continuing operations by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding. The pro forma net book value per common share of the combined company is computed by dividing total pro forma stockholders’ equity by the pro forma number of shares of common stock (in the case of Ormat) and ordinary shares (in the case of Ormat Industries) outstanding at the end of the period.

The pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of actual results had the share exchange occurred during the periods indicated and is not necessarily indicative of future operations of the combined entity.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements discussed in this information statement constitute forward-looking statements, which include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, statements of future economic performance, and statements of assumptions relating thereto. Forward-looking statements are often identified by future or conditional words such as “will,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” or “anticipates,” or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. There can be no assurances that forward-looking statements will be achieved. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause Ormat’s actual results or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause Ormat’s actual results or conditions to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, among others:

With respect to the share exchange:

• risks associated with Ormat’s and Ormat Industries’ ability to satisfy the conditions and terms of the share exchange agreement, and to consummate the transactions in the estimated timeframe, or at all;

• uncertainties regarding the expected benefits of the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated under the share exchange agreement (including realizing any of the potential synergies);

• risks associated with the limitations imposed by the Israeli tax ruling;

• risks arising as a result of unknown or unexpected obligations or liabilities of Ormat Industries;

• the costs and outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us and others relating to the share exchange agreement;

• the inability to complete the share exchange due to the failure of Ormat Industries to timely obtain shareholder approval or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completing the share exchange;

• the failure to complete the share exchange for any other reason; and

• the distraction of our management resulting from the proposed transaction.

With respect to Ormat, please see the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is incorporated by reference into this information statement.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Ormat makes no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws. If Ormat were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that Ormat would make additional updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.

You should carefully review the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this information statement and the other risk factors set forth in the periodic and other filings of Ormat with the SEC, for a discussion of these and other risks that relate to Ormat’s business, an investment in shares of Ormat common stock and the share exchange agreement.

21

RISK FACTORS

Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our business, operating results or financial condition, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

Risks Relating to the Share Exchange

There can be no assurance that the share exchange will be completed or what the impact on Ormat’s business or Ormat’s stock price will be if it is not completed.

The share exchange is subject to conditions to closing and termination rights if certain events do not occur prior to agreed upon dates, including the receipt of the Section 350 voting approval and the Court approval. If these or any other condition to the share exchange is not satisfied or, if permissible, waived, the share exchange will not be completed. We cannot predict what the effect on Ormat’s business or the market price of Ormat common stock will be if the share exchange is not completed. Uncertainty regarding whether the share exchange will be completed (including uncertainty regarding whether the conditions to closing will be met) may result in a negative impact on Ormat’s business and the market price of Ormat common stock. If the share exchange is not completed for any reason, we will not realize any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the share exchange.  This could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  In any event, the share exchange involves a number of risks, including the following:

·       we will be required to pay certain expenses relating to the share exchange, including substantial legal, financial advisor and accounting fees, whether or not the share exchange is completed;

·       under the share exchange agreement, we are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to completing the share exchange that may affect our ability to execute certain of our business strategies; and

·       during the period before completion of the share exchange, our management’s attention, which could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us, will be diverted from our day−to−day business, and there may also be unavoidable disruptions to our relationships with our employees, customers and suppliers.

Completion of the share exchange would result in a substantial increase in the number of shares of Ormat common stock available for trading, which could negatively impact the price of Ormat common stock and/or increase the volatility of the price of Ormat common stock, both before and after completion of the share exchange.

Completion of the share exchange will greatly increase the number of shares of Ormat common stock available for sale in the public markets. As of November 20, 2014, 45,536,867 shares of Ormat common stock were outstanding, of which 27,206,580 shares were held by Ormat Industries. Upon completion of the share exchange, the shares of Ormat common stock held by Ormat Industries will be canceled, but approximately 30.2 million new shares of Ormat common stock will be issued to then former holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares.

Sales of large amounts of newly issued or other shares of Ormat common stock could negatively impact the market price of Ormat common stock. In addition, the potential that such sales may occur could negatively impact prices even in advance of such sales. Ormat cannot predict the effect that the share exchange would have on the price of Ormat common stock, both before and after completion of the share exchange.

22

The Israeli tax ruling imposes conditions that may limit our flexibility in operating our business and our ability to enter into certain corporate transactions following the consummation of the Transaction.

In order for the transaction to be treated as a non-taxable event for Israeli income tax purposes, the Israeli tax ruling imposes a number of conditions that limit our flexibility in operating our business and in engaging in certain corporate transactions during the applicable restricted periods following the consummation of the transaction.  These conditions include, among others, that:

·       until the end of the second calendar year following the receipt of the Ormat stockholder approval and the Ormat Industries shareholder approval (i.e., December 31, 2016 if we obtain these approvals by December 31, 2014):

o      Ormat must continue to hold a majority of the assets that it and Ormat Industries held immediately prior to the consummation share exchange and continue to use them in the ordinary course of business;

o      each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI may not sell their shares of common stock of Ormat that they receive in the share exchange, except in certain limited circumstances; and

o      in connection with the sale limitations imposed on Bronicki Investments and FIMI, we cannot engage in a sale of Ormat (through a merger or otherwise), certain private placements of our common stock or public offerings of our common stock that will result in a decrease of their stockholdings to less than 51% of their holdings immediately following the share exchange;

·      for a period of two years following the closing of the merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems (i.e., until March 31, 2017, assuming the closing occurs on March 31, 2015), Ormat Systems, among other things, must continue to hold a majority of the assets that it and Ormat Industries held immediately prior to the merger closing and continue to use them in the ordinary course of business; and

·      until the end of the fourth calendar year after the date that each of the Ormat stockholder approval and Ormat Industries shareholder approval have been obtained, (i.e., until December 31, 2018 if we obtain these approvals by December 31, 2014), Ormat and its subsidiaries must maintain (and, to the extent that the Ormat group’s operations expand, likewise expand) the production activities currently carried out in Israel through Ormat Systems and may not open a production factory outside of Israel that produces the same items that are currently produced by Ormat Systems in Israel (except in the field of evaporative cooling).

Under certain circumstances, these conditions may not allow us the flexibility that we need to operate our business and may prevent us from taking advantage of strategic opportunities that would benefit our business and our stockholders.  See “Material Consequences of the Israeli Tax Ruling” below.

If Ormat Industries’ liabilities are greater than expected, or if there are unknown Ormat Industries obligations, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

As a result of the share exchange, Ormat Industries’ liabilities, including contingent liabilities, will be consolidated into Ormat’s financial statements. Ormat may learn additional information about Ormat Industries’ financial condition or pre-share exchange business that adversely affects Ormat, including, among others, unknown or underestimated liabilities, additional tax liabilities, or legal compliance issues. If Ormat Industries’ liabilities are greater than expected, or if there are obligations of Ormat Industries of which Ormat is not aware at the time of completion of the share exchange, Ormat’s business and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

23

Ormat and Ormat Industries may be subject to litigation in connection with the share exchange and/or the merger.

Lawsuits may be filed against Ormat, Ormat Industries, their respective subsidiaries, and/or their respective directors or officers in connection with the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated under the share exchange agreement. If any such lawsuit is filed, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition, or results of operations of Ormat, whether or not a settlement or other resolution is achieved.

In addition, one of the conditions to the closing of the share exchange is that no order, injunction, decree or other legal restraint or prohibition will be in effect that prevents completion of any of the transactions contemplated under the share exchange agreement. Consequently, if a lawsuit is filed and the plaintiffs secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the share exchange agreement, that may prevent the share exchange from becoming effective within the expected time frame or at all.

Future results of the combined company may differ materially from the pro forma financial information presented in this document.

Future results of the combined company may be materially different from those shown in the pro forma financial statements, which are based on the historical results of Ormat and Ormat Industries and on the assumptions provided in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements.

Some of Ormat’s directors and officers have financial interests in the share exchange that may differ from the interests of Ormat shareholders.

In considering the recommendation of the Ormat board of directors and special committee with respect to the share exchange agreement, you should be aware that some of Ormat’s directors and executive officers have interests in the share exchange agreement that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Ormat shareholders generally. Such interests include the affiliation of four of our directors with Bronicki Investments or FIMI and the fact that members of our senior management also serve as members of the senior management of Ormat Industries. These interests, to the extent material, are more fully described in this information statement.

Following the share exchange, Bronicki Investments and FIMI will own a substantial percentage of our shares.

As a result of the share exchange, Bronicki Investments and FIMI are expected to beneficially own, collectively, approximately 23.92% of our outstanding common stock.  Bronicki Investments and FIMI are parties to a shareholder rights agreement that, among other things, includes joint voting and other arrangements that affect Ormat and our subsidiaries, as described below in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”  As a result of these shareholders’ expected beneficial ownership of our outstanding common stock following the share exchange, and taking into consideration the shareholders rights agreement between them, they could exert significant influence on the election of our directors and on decisions by our shareholders on matters submitted to shareholder vote, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership of our shares could delay or prevent proxy contests, mergers, tender offers, or other purchases of our shares that might otherwise give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for our shares. This concentration of ownership may also adversely affect our stock price. For a discussion of Ormat’s voting neutralization agreements with Bronicki Investments and FIMI and the conditions imposed therein on the voting of our voting securities by Bronicki Investments and FIMI, see “Additional Agreements—Voting Neutralization Agreements.”

24

We may be unable to obtain some third-party consents in connection with the transactions.

We and Ormat Industries identified a number of consents, waivers or approvals that are or may be required to complete the transactions, apart from the Court approval and the Section 350 voting approval, under the terms of various contractual arrangements or applicable laws.  In the case of Ormat and Ormat Systems, most of these are financing arrangements with banks or institutional lenders, under which lenders could assert pre-payment, redemption, acceleration, termination or other similar rights as a result of the transactions, absent a consent or waiver by the affected lenders.

The share exchange agreement requires each of the parties to use reasonable best efforts to obtain certain third-party consents, and certain other third-party consents may be requested without any obligation to do that under the share exchange agreement.  It is possible, however, that one or more third-party consents will not be obtained.

Under the share exchange agreement, the transactions could be completed without some or all of those consents.  Ormat Industries could require us and Ormat Systems to complete the transactions, or we and Ormat Systems could require Ormat Industries to complete the transactions, notwithstanding the failure to obtain some or all of those consents, and notwithstanding the impact that failure could on the Ormat group.  We do not expect these circumstances to occur.  However, no assurance can be given that all third-party consents will be obtained or what impact the failure to obtain one or more of those consents might have, either on the completion of the transactions or on the business, operations or financial condition of the Ormat group if the transactions are completed without one or more of those consents.  For example, we might be required to repay or refinance credit facilities if one or more of our lenders refused to provide a consent or waiver, notwithstanding our efforts to procure it.  If that occurs, no assurance can be given that replacement financing would be available on terms comparable to any credit facility that needs to be refinanced, or at all.

Risks Relating to Ormat

For a description of other risks associated with Ormat, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is incorporated by reference into this information statement. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

25

GENERAL

This information statement is being delivered to our stockholders in connection with the share issuance for the share exchange.

Requirement to Obtain Stockholder Approval

We are subject to the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual rules (the “NYSE rules”) because shares of our common stock are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).  Under NYSE rules, stockholders representing a majority of the shares of our common stock must approve the issuance of additional shares of our common stock under certain circumstances, which include the share issuance for the share exchange.  On November 10, 2014, we obtained that approval.  Ormat Industries, which owns approximately 59.75% of our common stock, signed a written consent, in accordance with Section 2.13 of our by-laws, approving the share issuance.

No Voting Required

We are not seeking a vote, authorization or proxies from our stockholders.  Section 2.13 of our by-laws provides that stockholders may take action without a stockholders meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock representing not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to approve such action at a stockholders meeting.  The written consent to the share issuance signed by Ormat Industries satisfied this requirement and we are therefore not seeking a vote, authorization or proxy from our other stockholders with respect to the share issuance, the share exchange, the share exchange agreement or the other transactions contemplated thereby.

Ormat Approval of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

The share exchange and related transactions have been authorized and approved by the Company.  Each of the special committee and the audit committee of our board of directors and our full board of directors unanimously:

· determined that the share exchange and other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement were in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders of the Company, including specifically the stockholders other than Ormat Industries and its shareholders; and

· approved the share exchange agreement, the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the share issuance.

For additional information concerning the evaluation, analysis and approvals by our special committee, audit committee and board of directors, see “The Share Exchange and Related Transactions—Background of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions.”

The share exchange and related transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement are the result of on-going strategic initiatives by management of the Ormat group, in consultation with representatives of stockholders, financial advisors and others.  Among other things, they address certain challenges presented by the current structure of the Ormat group that affect various aspects of its business, operations and financing activities.  For example, maintaining two listed companies subject to differing regulatory requirements involves additional costs for the Ormat group and has, in the past, created issues in obtaining certain types of financing for the Ormat group, including certain government-guaranteed financing arrangements that could reduce some of our borrowing costs.  In addition, for Ormat, the current controlled company structure may not be as attractive for it and its unaffiliated stockholders compared to a corporate structure with increased public float.  The share exchange and related transactions are designed to address these and other issues, and do that in a manner that does not involve a taxable transaction for the Ormat group or its shareholders.

We believe the transactions will provide a number of benefits to Ormat and its shareholders.  Among other things, from Ormat’s perspective, the transactions are expected to:

· unlock value for Ormat’s minority stockholders;

· enhance the liquidity of Ormat common stock by significantly increasing the public float, improve the market’s perception of Ormat and increase institutional investors’ interest in Ormat;

· result in Ormat no longer being a majority-controlled company;

· eliminate the inefficiencies and complexities associated with having two separate public companies;

· make it easier for Ormat to raise capital and to obtain financing; and

· enhance Ormat’s identity as a multinational company and ability to penetrate new markets.

We have carefully considered these and other factors in deciding to proceed with the transactions.  As discussed in more detail below, we evaluated the transaction using a special committee of our board of directors consisting solely of independent directors.  The special committee engaged independent financial and legal advisors to help evaluate the transactions.  We received an opinion from J.P. Morgan that, subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the proposed exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view to Ormat.  The full text of the written opinion of J.P. Morgan dated November 9, 2014, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex A to this information statement and is incorporated herein by reference.  Ormat’s stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety.  J.P. Morgan’s written opinion is addressed to the Ormat board, is directed only to the exchange ratio in the share exchange and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of Ormat.  The transactions were unanimously approved by the special committee, the audit committee and our board of directors.  Our board of directors has unanimously recommended that our stockholders approve the share issuance.

Background of the Share Exchange

As part of the continuous evaluation of its businesses and plans, Ormat’s board of directors and senior management regularly consider a variety of potential strategic options and transactions, all in a continued effort to maximize stockholder value.  In the past few years, these considerations have focused on, among other things,  exploring key strategic objectives related to our corporate structure, including enhancing liquidity, creating synergies and becoming a non-controlled public company, as part of a possible separation from Ormat Industries, which owned, since our initial public offering, a majority stake of our outstanding common stock.

27

Along these lines, commencing in the second half of 2013 and throughout the first half of 2014, our senior management, with the assistance of outside Israeli and U.S. tax advisors, began to explore, including with the ITA, a possible restructuring of the Ormat group that would eliminate or mitigate possible adverse tax implications from both an Israeli and U.S. tax perspective. In parallel, Ormat’s senior management, with the assistance of Chadbourne & Parke LLP, counsel to Ormat, and Goldfarb Seligman & Co., counsel to Ormat Industries, also explored the legal aspects of such possible restructuring.

    On August 5, 2014, following indications from the ITA that it would be willing, in principle, to issue a ruling that would mitigate such possible adverse tax implications along the lines of the Israeli tax ruling (that was eventually obtained on November 9, 2014), Mr. Blachar provided to our Board, as part of a regularly scheduled meeting thereof, a presentation outlining the key principles, benefits, legal process and timeline required in order to initiate a potential transaction through which Ormat would acquire Ormat Industries, with the companies being consolidated into one public company, Ormat, whose shares would continue to be traded on the NYSE. In this section, such transaction is sometimes referred to as the potential transaction.

On September 8, 2014, our board held a meeting, which was attended by representatives of Chadbourne and Goldfarb.  During the meeting, Mr. Blachar updated the Ormat board on the status and next steps concerning the potential transaction.  Mr. Blachar updated regarding the status of the Israeli tax ruling, including the impact of certain limitations that would likely be imposed on FIMI and Bronicki Investments, the principal stockholders of Ormat Industries in connection with that ruling.  Mr. Blachar reported that the board of directors of Ormat Industries had authorized Ormat Industries to continue discussions concerning the potential transaction, including establishing a special committee of Ormat Industries directors and requiring that any such transaction be approved by a non-waivable majority-of-the-minority of Ormat’s stockholders not affiliated with Ormat Industries.  Our board discussed the potential transaction, including, among other things, the strategic rationale for the potential transaction, the risks and benefits of the potential transaction, the structure of the potential transaction, and the potential tax implications and costs associated with it.  A representative of Chadbourne reviewed with our board members their fiduciary duties in connection with their consideration of the potential transaction.

Following discussion, our board concluded that it was in the best interests of Ormat and Ormat’s stockholders, and specifically, the Ormat stockholders other than Ormat Industries and its affiliates, to form a special committee of independent Ormat directors to review, evaluate, and negotiate a potential transaction involving Ormat and Ormat Industries.  Our board then created a special committee consisting of David Granot (as Chairman), Robert F. Clarke, and Dan Falk, each of whom the board concluded was independent, and resolved, among other things, that the board would not approve or authorize a potential transaction involving Ormat and Ormat Industries without the prior favorable recommendation of the Ormat special committee.  The Ormat special committee was authorized, among other things, to retain its own financial and legal advisors, at Ormat’s expense.

On September 9, 2014, the Ormat special committee met telephonically and discussed, among other things, its process for the selection of independent financial and legal advisors.  Following discussion, the Ormat special committee decided to invite seven investment banks and eight law firms to make written proposals to present to the committee.  The Ormat special committee directed that all proposals include full disclosure of any actual or potential conflicts of interests with respect to the potential engagement.

On September 15, 2014, the Ormat special committee met telephonically and reviewed, among other things, written proposals from all of the investment banks and law firms.  Following discussion, the committee invited four investment banks and three law firms to participate in in-person interviews.

On September 17, 2014, the Ormat special committee met in person at Chadbourne’s offices in New York and interviewed the three law firms.  Following these interviews and deliberations, the Ormat special committee selected Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP to serve as its independent legal counsel.  The Ormat special committee notified Davis Polk of its appointment and requested that the firm join the Ormat special committee for interviews with the prospective financial advisors.

On September 18, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with representatives from Davis Polk, met in person at Chadbourne’s offices in New York and interviewed four investment banks.  Following the interviews and deliberations, the Ormat special committee selected J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as its independent financial advisor.  J.P. Morgan’s engagement was finalized in an engagement letter dated October 13, 2014.

28

On September 21, 2014, Mr. Granot and Dafna Sharir, chair of the Ormat Industries special committee, conducted an introductory call, during which they agreed to instruct the financial advisors to the respective special committees to conduct introductory discussions regarding the potential transaction.

During the weeks of September 29, 2014 and October 6, 2014, the Ormat special committee through its financial and legal advisors conducted confidential due diligence on Ormat Industries and evaluated the potential strategic benefits of a transaction.

On October 12, 2014, Goldfarb delivered an initial draft of the share exchange agreement to Davis Polk, which did not specify an exchange ratio.

Also on October 12, 2014, a representative of Trigger-Foresight (2012) LP, an affiliate of Deloitte, the financial advisor to Ormat Industries, contacted a representative of J.P. Morgan to discuss the Ormat Industries special committee’s preliminary views on a potentially acceptable exchange ratio for the transaction.  Deloitte indicated that the Ormat Industries special committee believed that the exchange ratio should reflect a premium to Ormat Industries’ then-current trading price and that any below-market deal would be unlikely to receive Ormat Industries shareholder approval.  J.P. Morgan responded that, if Ormat Industries had a view on valuation, then the Ormat Industries special committee was free to make an initial proposal for the Ormat special committee to review and consider.

On October 15, 2014, the Ormat special committee met telephonically, along with its financial and legal advisors, to review the status of discussions concerning the potential transaction.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan made a presentation to the Ormat special committee concerning the principal areas of financial diligence that it had completed and providing an overview of its preliminary valuation of Ormat and Ormat Industries.  J.P. Morgan reviewed, among other things, the fact that the stock of Ormat Industries trades at a premium to the stock of Ormat (and the potential reasons why) and that, as a result, an “at-market” stock-for-stock exchange would imply a premium for Ormat Industries stockholders.  The Ormat special committee also discussed the strategic rationale for the potential transaction, which includes increasing liquidity, eliminating dual-listing redundancies and realizing potential cost and revenue synergies.  At the conclusion of the meeting, the Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed next steps in connection with due diligence, J.P. Morgan’s ongoing valuation work, certain areas for which the Ormat special committee requested additional financial analysis, and future discussions with the Ormat Industries special committee.  The Ormat special committee confirmed its view that the Ormat special committee should not make the initial proposal concerning an exchange ratio for the potential transaction.

On October 21, 2014, the Ormat special committee met telephonically, along with its financial and legal advisors, to review the status of discussions concerning the potential transaction.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan reported that, shortly before the meeting commenced, Deloitte had contacted J.P. Morgan and verbally communicated an initial proposal on behalf of the Ormat Industries special committee.  The Ormat Industries special committee proposed a transaction valuing Ormat Industries at $7.67 per share, which reflected a roughly 12.0% percent premium to Ormat’s then-current trading price and which would require the issuance of approximately 4.7 million net new shares to be issued by Ormat.  The Ormat special committee directed J.P. Morgan to inform Deloitte that the Ormat special committee would require additional information and details concerning the Ormat Industries special committee’s proposal in order to be able to evaluate and consider such proposal.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan provided a follow-up presentation to the presentation made at the prior Ormat special committee meeting, including a review of the additional information and analyses requested by the Ormat special committee.  The Ormat special committee discussed with its advisors how the potential transaction would increase Ormat’s liquidity, result in potential cost and revenue synergies and offer benefits as a result of Ormat becoming a non-controlled company.  The representatives of J.P. Morgan reviewed with the Ormat special committee various strategies for negotiating an exchange ratio.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed strategies for the upcoming meeting between the Ormat special committee and the Ormat Industries special committee scheduled for October 22, 2014, including with respect to the negotiation of the exchange ratio.

29

On October 22, 2014, the Ormat special committee and the Ormat Industries special committee met in person (with Robert F. Clarke attending telephonically) at Goldfarb’s offices in Tel Aviv, Israel, and telephonically with their respective financial and legal advisors, to discuss the Ormat Industries special committee proposal.  The Ormat Industries special committee reiterated the proposal communicated the prior day and presented its justification for seeking a roughly 12.0% premium to Ormat Industries’ then-current trading price, which included the Ormat Industries special committee’s valuation of certain of the assets of Ormat Industries and potential synergies available through the combination of the two companies.  The Ormat special committee responded and expressed its views why it believed that a transaction at a fixed exchange ratio closer to at-market prices was appropriate, which included comparable historical transactions, certain valuations of Ormat Industries on a net asset value basis and allocations among each company’s stockholders of the cost and revenue synergies.  Both special committees and their financial advisors agreed to reflect further on the other side’s perspectives.

Later on October 22, 2014, the Ormat special committee met telephonically, along with its financial and legal advisors, to discuss the terms of Ormat Industries’ preliminary proposal.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed potential counterproposals and certain corporate governance considerations that the Ormat special committee should take into account while formulating a counterproposal, including the implications of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, NYSE rules regarding “controlled companies”, potentially renewing Ormat’s rights agreement and the ability of certain stockholders to call special meetings.  All parties agreed that it would be constructive to have an in-person meeting in New York to work to formulate the counterproposal.

On October 24, 2014, Mr. Blachar provided to the Ormat special committee and representatives from Davis Polk and J.P. Morgan an update on Ormat’s business, including the potential sale of a minority stake of up to 49% in a small number of its power plants located in the U.S.  Ormat reported that potential sale transaction in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 17, 2014.

As part of its ongoing due diligence, the Ormat special committee also considered the implications of the expected Israeli tax ruling, which provides, among other things, that in order not to violate certain provisions of the ruling, Ormat must continue to hold a majority of the assets it held prior to each of Ormat and Ormat Industries’ stockholder approvals of the share exchange for the two calendar years following such approvals (not including the year in which such approval occurs) and that, without the ITA’s prior approval, Ormat may not take actions (including issuing shares or selling Ormat through a merger) that would reduce the holdings of Bronicki Investments and FIMI to less than 51% of their aggregate holdings of Ormat common stock.  For a detailed description of the Israeli tax ruling, please see “The Share Exchange—Material Israeli Income Tax Consequences of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions.”

On October 28, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with its financial and legal advisors, held an in-person meeting at Davis Polk’s offices in New York.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed the status of negotiations regarding the potential transaction, the preliminary valuation provided by J.P. Morgan on October 28, 2014, the preliminary proposal received from Ormat Industries, potential counterproposals and the timing of next steps.  Representatives of Davis Polk reviewed with the Ormat special committee members their fiduciary duties in connection with the potential transaction.

At that meeting, representatives of J.P. Morgan reviewed with the Ormat special committee a presentation concerning J.P. Morgan’s preliminary valuation of Ormat and Ormat Industries, the potential impact that an increase in liquidity resulting from a transaction could have on the stock price and stockholder base of Ormat.  The Ormat special committee discussed with J.P. Morgan the potential cost synergies estimated by Ormat management that could result from the de-listing of Ormat Industries and the consolidation of Ormat and Ormat Industries, and the potential revenue synergies estimated by Ormat management, including the ability of Ormat to pursue two potential projects in Ormat’s product segment that Ormat currently does not believe it could undertake due to being perceived as a controlled foreign company.  J.P. Morgan presented various preliminary financial analyses regarding the share exchange, including a review of precedent transactions, and the Ormat special committee members discussed the data, assumptions and methodologies underlying these analyses.  J.P. Morgan reviewed different preliminary methodologies for calculating an exchange ratio, including by taking mean and median ratios over certain historical time periods.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan noted that a 20 business day time period for calculating a fixed exchange ratio was used most frequently in the precedent transactions they reviewed.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors reviewed the proposal received from Ormat Industries on October 22, 2014 and the Ormat special committee unanimously agreed to reject the proposal and instead make a counterproposal that would include an exchange ratio using a methodology of taking the twenty-day median of each of Ormat’s and Ormat Industries’ trading prices, which the Ormat special committee determined was reasonable and appropriate and which resulted in a premium of approximately 1.8% to Ormat Industries’ common stock over that period.

Representatives of Davis Polk then reviewed with the Ormat special committee certain corporate governance considerations, including NYSE rules, and Delaware law issues.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed the upcoming expiration of Ormat’s stockholder rights plan, which expired on November 10, 2014, and the directors’ preliminary view that they would not renew the rights plan.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors also discussed the fact that, following the transaction, FIMI and Bronicki Investments, which at that time owned approximately 39.3% in the aggregate of Ormat Industries, would own approximately 15% and 9%, respectively, of the post-transaction Ormat, based on the exchange ratio.  Particularly in light of the possibility that Ormat might pay a premium to Ormat Industries (in part due to the acquisition of control from Ormat Industries and beyond the premium implied by Ormat and Ormat Industries’ relative trading prices), the Ormat special committee discussed its view that FIMI and Bronicki Investments should not be permitted, following the transaction, to re-acquire control of Ormat without paying Ormat and Ormat’s public stockholders an appropriate control premium.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed the advantages and disadvantages of requiring FIMI and Bronicki Investments to enter into a standstill agreement in connection with any potential transaction that would cap their aggregate ownership at 25%.  The Ormat special committee directed Davis Polk to discuss the potential standstill agreement with Goldfarb and counsels to FIMI and Bronicki Investments.

Representatives of Davis Polk summarized the material terms of the proposed share exchange agreement, as well as the Israeli tax ruling.  As noted above and elsewhere in this information statement, under the Israeli tax ruling, certain restrictions will apply to Ormat, certain of Ormat’s subsidiaries and certain stockholders of the post-share exchange combined entity, including with respect to Ormat’s ability to issue shares and engage in mergers and acquisitions transactions.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors also discussed the fact that these restrictions would apply for an additional year through the end of 2017 if the stockholder approvals for the transaction were not obtained before December 31, 2014.  Following this discussion, the members of the Ormat special committee confirmed their view that the restrictions of the Israeli tax ruling would not be overly onerous to Ormat.

The Ormat special committee and Davis Polk discussed the advantages and disadvantages of requiring a majority-of-the-minority approval by Ormat’s stockholders as a condition to the completion of the transaction.  The Ormat special committee discussed its views concerning the importance of maximizing transaction certainty, as well as certain timing issues relating to a solicitation period and the fact that the restrictions imposed in the Israeli tax ruling would apply for an additional year (through the end of 2017) if Ormat were not able to obtain stockholder approval prior to the end of 2014.  The Ormat special committee concluded that requiring such a condition would not be in the best interest of Ormat and Ormat’s stockholders, and specifically the Ormat stockholders not affiliated with Ormat Industries or its affiliates.  At the conclusion of the meeting, the Ormat special committee directed J.P. Morgan to provide a summary of the proposed financial terms, and Davis Polk to provide a summary of the other terms, of the counterproposal for the Ormat special committee’s review prior to presentation to Ormat Industries.

On October 29, 2014, the Israeli press published an article reporting rumors regarding the potential share exchange.  Ormat Industries was required to issue an immediate report that essentially confirmed that the share exchange was being considered.  Later that day in the United States, Ormat issued a press release and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing that it was considering a potential restructuring with Ormat Industries.  The closing price of Ormat common stock was $28.00 per share following the news report, reflecting an increase of approximately 0.50%.  The closing price of Ormat Industries common stock was NIS 26.30 per share following the news report, reflecting an increase of approximately 1.38%.

31

On October 31, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with its financial and legal advisors, met telephonically and discussed, among other things, the proposed terms of Ormat’s counterproposal to Ormat Industries.  The counterproposal included a tax-free exchange of shares with a fixed exchange ratio of 0.2532 shares of Ormat for each share of Ormat Industries. This ratio represents the average exchange ratio over the preceding unaffected twenty trading day period based on the closing price per share for each of Ormat and Ormat Industries, which reflected a premium of approximately 1.8% to Ormat Industries' stock price over that period. The Ormat special committee determined that using a twenty-day median of each of Ormat’s and Ormat Industries’ trading prices was reasonable and appropriate with respect to calculating an exchange ratio for this type of transaction.  The Ormat special committee again discussed and confirmed its view that inclusion of a majority-of-the-minority vote condition was not in the best interests of Ormat or Ormat’s public stockholders, and specifically, the Ormat stockholders not affiliated with Ormat Industries.  Representatives of Davis Polk then reported on their discussions with counsel to FIMI concerning a potential standstill agreement, during which counsel to FIMI indicated that FIMI and Bronicki Investments were unwilling to agree to a standstill in light of their desire to maintain flexibility should they wish to acquire additional shares to, among other things, reduce their cost basis.  The representatives of Davis Polk reported that counsel to FIMI seemed willing to consider certain alternatives to a standstill agreement, including a voting neutralization agreement, which would allow FIMI and Bronicki Investments to acquire additional stock in Ormat but would require any additional shares acquired to be voted proportionally with the votes of the public stockholders of Ormat not affiliated with Ormat Industries.  The Ormat special committee decided to continue its evaluation of a potential voting neutralization agreement at its next meeting.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors then reviewed the combined economic and governance terms of the counterproposal.  At the conclusion of the meeting, the Ormat special committee directed J.P. Morgan to communicate the counterproposal to Deloitte on November 2, 2014.

On November 2, 2014, J.P. Morgan conveyed the principal terms of the Ormat special committee’s counterproposal to Deloitte.

Throughout the week of November 3, 2014, Davis Polk and Goldfarb (and with respect to Bronicki Investments and FIMI, also their respective counsels) negotiated the terms of the share exchange agreement and the ancillary documentation to the share exchange agreement, including the support agreements from Ormat Industries and FIMI and Bronicki Investments, written consents and corporate resolutions.  For a detailed summary of the share exchange agreement, please see “The Share Exchange Agreement” and for a detailed summary of the ancillary agreements, please see “Additional Agreements.”

On November 3, 2014, the Ormat special committee, together with representatives of J.P. Morgan and, attending telephonically, Davis Polk, and the Ormat Industries special committee, together with representatives of Deloitte and Goldfarb, met in person at Goldfarb’s offices in Tel Aviv, Israel.  During this meeting, each special committee presented its respective views on the other side’s proposals.  Following extensive negotiation that occurred at this meeting and through November 5, 2014, the special committees came to an agreement on a fixed exchange ratio of 0.2592 shares of Ormat for each share of Ormat Industries, which reflected a premium of approximately 4.2% to Ormat Industries’ stock price as of October 28, 2014, the last trading day unaffected by rumors of the potential share exchange.

On November 5, 2014, the Ormat board met in person at Ormat’s offices in Yavne, Israel, with representatives of J.P. Morgan, Davis Polk and Chadbourne attending telephonically.  During the meeting, the Ormat special committee provided the Ormat board with an update on the Ormat special committee’s evaluation and negotiation of the fixed exchange ratio and the transaction more generally.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan provided the Ormat  board with an overview of its preliminary financial analyses and the fixed exchange ratio.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan confirmed that, if requested, they were prepared to issue a fairness opinion, subject to the factors and assumptions to be set forth in its opinion, that the proposed exchange ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to Ormat.  Representatives of Davis Polk provided an overview of the principal terms of the share exchange agreement and the current negotiations with representatives of Bronicki Investments and FIMI concerning the draft voting neutralization agreement.

Later on November 5, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with its financial and legal advisors, met telephonically to discuss the status of negotiations and potential next steps.  The Ormat special committee again discussed the benefits of completing the share exchange expeditiously given certain provisions of the Israeli tax ruling that would restrict Ormat for an additional year through the end of 2017 if stockholder approvals were not obtained before December 31, 2014.  The Ormat special committee then discussed certain terms of a proposed draft voting neutralization agreement, including the voting cap (i.e., the level of share ownership above which additional shares acquired by FIMI and Bronicki Investments would be voted proportionally), the economic cap (i.e., the level of economic ownership of Ormat stock above which FIMI and Bronicki Investments would not be permitted to acquire additional shares), and a “bust up” provision (i.e., a provision that would prohibit FIMI and Bronicki Investments from selling shares to a single buyer or group of buyers that would hold more than 10% of Ormat’s stock unless the transferee(s) agreed to be bound by the voting neutralization agreement).

32

Following the meeting, Davis Polk sent the draft voting neutralization agreement to Goldfarb who forwarded it to FIMI and Bronicki Investments and their respective counsels.  Davis Polk and representatives of FIMI and Bronicki Investments continued to discuss and negotiate the terms of the voting neutralization agreement throughout the week.

On November 8, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with its financial and legal advisors, met telephonically and discussed, among other things, the principal open items in the negotiation of the draft voting neutralization agreement.  Representatives of Davis Polk compared and contrasted the Ormat special committee’s proposed voting neutralization agreement with the terms proposed in response by FIMI and Bronicki Investments.  Davis Polk reported that FIMI and Bronicki Investments were unwilling to agree to a “bust-up” provision and believed that the economic cap should be 40% rather than 30%, each as requested by the Ormat special committee.  The Ormat special committee and its advisors discussed a number of potential compromises that could be made with FIMI and Bronicki Investments on each of these issues.

Following the telephonic meeting, representatives of the Ormat special committee, FIMI and Bronicki Investments and their respective advisors, negotiated the terms of the draft voting neutralization agreement.  Representatives for the Ormat special committee and FIMI and Bronicki Investments restated and discussed their respective positions on the “bust-up” provision and the economic cap.  Representatives of FIMI and Bronicki Investments noted that the Israeli tax ruling would restrict their share sales through at least the end of 2016 to less than 10% of their aggregate stock holdings as of the closing of the share exchange and that their shareholders’ agreement would expire in May 2017 at which point FIMI and Bronicki Investments would no longer constitute a group.  The parties discussed potential compromises with respect to the inclusion of a “bust-up” provision proposed by the Ormat special committee, including a rights plan, a “bust-up” provision that would become less onerous to the extent FIMI and Bronicki Investments reduced their shareholdings and an agreement not to coordinate sales of shares unless FIMI and Bronicki Investments provided Ormat with prior notice.  After extensive discussions, the parties agreed to re-consider the various alternatives discussed.

On November 9, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with its legal advisors, met telephonically to discuss the open issues on the voting neutralization agreement, including a proposal received immediately prior to the meeting from the representatives of FIMI and Bronicki Investments.  The Ormat special committee determined that the proposal received from FIMI and Bronicki Investments provided a reasonable basis for resolving the open issues and directed its legal advisors to complete negotiations generally on those terms.  Thereafter, representatives of Davis Polk, Goldfarb and representatives of FIMI and Bronicki Investments finalized the terms of separate voting neutralization agreements with each of FIMI and Bronicki Investments, which terms were approved by the Ormat special committee.  For more information on the key terms of these agreements, please see “Additional Agreements—Voting Neutralization Agreements.

Later in the day on November 9, 2014, the Ormat special committee, along with its financial and legal advisors, again met telephonically and discussed, among other things, the status of negotiations with Ormat Industries.  Representatives of J.P. Morgan presented the Ormat special committee with their final valuation analyses regarding the transaction.  The Ormat special committee discussed the strategic and financial rationales of the transaction, and J.P. Morgan discussed with the Ormat special committee, the valuations of Ormat and Ormat Industries, and the various valuation methodologies underpinning J.P. Morgan’s valuation.  At the conclusion of the meeting, J.P. Morgan rendered its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in writing, that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the exchange ratio in the proposed share exchange and related transactions was fair, from a financial point of view, to Ormat.  Following a review of the negotiations and discussions regarding the share exchange, the Ormat special committee expressed its unanimous view that the share exchange was in the best interest of Ormat and its stockholders, and specifically the public stockholders not affiliated with Ormat Industries, and thus that it would recommend approval of the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement by the Ormat board.  For the basis of the Ormat special committee’s determination in this regard, please see “—The Ormat Special Committee”.

33

On November 10, 2014, the Ormat special committee met telephonically with its financial and legal advisors to approve the separate voting neutralization agreements to be entered into by each of FIMI and Bronicki Investments.

Also on November 10, 2014, the Ormat audit committee, which consists of the directors that are members of the Ormat special committee along with Mr. Robert E. Joyal, met in person, however Mr. Joyal did not attend, and considered the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.  Following its deliberations, the Ormat audit committee expressed its unanimous view that the share exchange was in the best interest of Ormat and its stockholders, and specifically the public stockholders not affiliated with Ormat Industries, and thus that it would recommend approval of the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement by the Ormat board.

Later on November 10, 2014, the Ormat board met in person (with Robert F. Clarke and representatives of J.P. Morgan, Davis Polk and Chadbourne attending telephonically) at Goldfarb’s offices in Tel Aviv, Israel to receive and discuss the Ormat special committee’s recommendation concerning the potential transaction. As requested by the Ormat special committee, J.P. Morgan provided the Ormat board with a brief presentation on the share exchange.  At this meeting, J.P. Morgan confirmed its November 9, 2014 oral opinion by delivering its written opinion to the Ormat board, dated November 9, 2014, that, as of such date, the exchange ratio in the proposed share exchange and related transactions was fair, from a financial point of view, to Ormat.  The Ormat special committee recommended to the Ormat board that it approve the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement.  Following the Ormat special committee recommendation, the Ormat audit committee also recommended to the Ormat board that it approve the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement.  Following these recommendations and its own deliberations, the Ormat board unanimously determined the share exchange to be advisable and fair to and in the best interest of its stockholders.  For the basis of the Ormat board’s determination in this regard, please see “—The Ormat Board of Directors”.  The Ormat board resolved unanimously to approve, adopt and declare advisable the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement, including the share exchange.  The share exchange agreement was executed by Ormat and Ormat Industries later that day on November 10, 2014.

On November 10, 2014, following the close of trading on the U.S. public stock markets, Ormat issued a press release announcing that it would acquire Ormat Industries through a share exchange.

Recommendation of the Ormat Special Committee and the Ormat Board of Directors and Their Reasons for the Share Exchange

Both the Ormat special committee and the Ormat board of directors believe, based on their consideration of the factors described below, that the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the share exchange, are fair, in terms of both substance and procedure, to the holders of Ormat’s common stock (other than Ormat Industries and its shareholders).

The Ormat Special Committee

The Ormat special committee, with the advice and assistance of its independent financial advisor and legal counsel, negotiated and evaluated the proposed share exchange, the terms and conditions of the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.  Over the course of approximately two months, the Ormat special committee held twenty meetings and led negotiations with the Ormat Industries special committee.  At a meeting held on November 10, 2014, the Ormat special committee (i) unanimously determined that the transaction documents, including the share exchange agreement, the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement, were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Ormat and Ormat’s stockholders, and specifically the Ormat stockholders other than Ormat Industries and its affiliates; and (ii) unanimously recommended to the full Ormat board of directors that the Ormat board of directors (x) approve and declare advisable the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the share exchange and the other transaction documents, (y) direct that the share exchange be submitted to Ormat’s stockholders and (z) recommend, subject to the terms of the share exchange agreement, that the holders of Ormat common stock approve the share issuance required to effect the share exchange.

In negotiating and evaluating the share exchange, the share exchange agreement, and the other transactions and agreements contemplated thereby, the Ormat special committee consulted with its independent financial and legal advisors and considered a number of advantages that would result from, as a result of the share exchange, Ormat becoming a non-controlled company, including, but not limited to, the following material factors (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

· Liquidity.  The Ormat special committee considered the fact that the share exchange would result in an increase in the liquidity of Ormat’s stock and the removal of the control overhang associated with Ormat Industries’ approximately 59.75% ownership stake without a need for a secondary offering.

· Cost Synergies.  The Ormat special committee considered the potential cost synergies estimated by Ormat management that likely would result from consolidating Ormat and Ormat Industries into a single publicly traded company, including the reduction of time and costs required to comply with filing and disclosure requirements by two companies for two stock exchanges, the elimination of redundancies related to the maintenance of two boards of directors and audit committees, and removing the intercompany leasing contracts between Ormat and Ormat Industries.

· Revenue Synergies.  The Ormat special committee considered the potential revenue synergies estimated by Ormat management that may result due to Ormat no longer being perceived as a controlled foreign company, including the ability of Ormat to pursue two potential projects in Ormat’s product segment that Ormat currently does not believe it could undertake due to being perceived as a controlled foreign company.

· Control Premium.  The Ormat special committee considered that the economic and structural terms of the share exchange and related transactions would maximize the likelihood that Ormat stockholders could receive a control premium for their shares at a future time, given the elimination of Ormat Industries’ approximately 60% ownership stake and the restrictions placed on the Principal Stockholders through the voting neutralization agreements and the Israeli tax ruling.

The Ormat special committee also considered a number of factors that are discussed below relating to the procedural safeguards that it believes were and are present to ensure the fairness of the share exchange.  The Ormat special committee believes the following factors support its determinations and recommendations and provide assurance of the procedural fairness of the share exchange to Ormat’s minority stockholders:

· Process of the Special Committee.  The Ormat special committee consisted solely of independent directors not affiliated with Ormat Industries.  The Ormat special committee was provided a clear mandate to review and negotiate the share exchange and to retain independent financial and legal advisors.  Moreover, the Ormat board resolved that it would not approve or authorize a potential transaction involving Ormat and Ormat Industries without the prior favorable recommendation of the Ormat special committee.  The Ormat special committee met twenty times, including seven times in person, and solicited the advice of its financial and legal advisors.  During these meetings, the Ormat special committee extensively deliberated and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the share exchange.

35

· Exchange Ratio.  The exchange ratio of 0.2592 shares of Ormat common stock for each share of Ormat Industries stock was only slightly higher than an exchange ratio calculated on an unaffected twenty trading day median of 0.2496.  The Ormat special committee, in consultation with its independent financial advisor, concluded that the calculation of an exchange ratio using a twenty trading day median is consistent with certain precedent transactions and was reasonable and appropriate for a transaction of this type.  In evaluating and negotiating the exchange ratio, the Ormat special committee considered only quantified cost and revenue synergies discussed above.  The exchange ratio resulted in a premium to the trading value of Ormat Industries’ share price on October 28, 2014 (the last trading day unaffected by rumors of the transaction) of 4.2%.

· Opinion of J.P.  Morgan.  The opinion of J.P. Morgan, dated November 9, 2014, to the Ormat board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Ormat of the exchange ratio in the proposed share exchange, based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken by J.P. Morgan (as more fully described below under “—Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Ormat Special Committee”).

· Terms of the Share Exchange Agreement.  The terms and conditions of the share exchange agreement, including Ormat’s ability to terminate (a) after December 31, 2014 if the stockholder approvals are not obtained prior to such date (and thus the restrictions imposed by the Israeli tax ruling would last for an additional year through the end of 2017 see “Material Consequences of the Israeli Tax Ruling”) and (b) after March 31, 2015 if the share exchange has not occurred, allow for Ormat to ensure that the share exchange is consummated as negotiated by the Ormat special committee.

· Terms of the Voting Neutralization Agreements.  The terms and conditions of the voting neutralization agreements ensure that FIMI and Bronicki Investments, after receiving a premium for their stock in Ormat, will be restricted in their ability to subsequently acquire voting control of Ormat.  In particular, FIMI and Bronicki Investments have agreed to (a) vote all of their Ormat voting securities in excess of 16% and 9% of Ormat’s total voting power, respectively, in proportion to votes cast by the other holders of Ormat voting securities, (b) limit the direct or indirect acquisition of Ormat voting securities, if after giving effect to any such acquisition, such stockholder and its affiliates would beneficially own Ormat voting securities representing in the aggregate more than 20% and 12% of Ormat’s total voting power, respectively, (c) not sell, prior to January 1, 2017, Ormat voting securities that, in the aggregate, represent more than 10% of all such voting securities of Ormat owned in the aggregate by both of the stockholders as of the closing, (d) not act in concert, following January 1, 2017, to sell Ormat voting securities without providing Ormat with twenty days’ prior written notice (to which only Ormat’s disinterested directors may respond) and (e) not renew the shareholders’ agreement between them following its expiration in May 2017.

The Ormat special committee also considered a variety of potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following (not necessarily in order of relative importance):

· Interim Restrictions on Business.  The Ormat special committee considered the impacts of the restrictions of the Israeli tax ruling, including the requirements that Ormat hold a majority of its assets for two years and not take certain actions during such time (including a merger, private placement or public offering) that would reduce the equity holdings of FIMI and Bronicki Investments below 51% of their aggregate holdings in Ormat.  The Ormat special committee also considered that any sale of Ormat to a third party by means of a merger prior to December 31, 2016 (if the stockholder approvals are obtained by December 31, 2014) would constitute, absent prior approval by the ITA, a breach of the Israeli tax ruling and the potential impact on Ormat’s stock price due to this sale restriction.

36

· Effect of Failure to Complete Share Exchange Agreement.  While Ormat expects that the share exchange will be consummated, there can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the consummation of the share exchange will be satisfied or the required stockholder approvals of Ormat Industries will be timely obtained.  As a result, it is possible that the share exchange may not be completed in a timely manner or at all.  The Ormat special committee also considered the potential negative effects if the share exchange were not consummated, including that (a) Ormat would have incurred significant transaction and opportunity costs attempting to consummate the share exchange and (b) Ormat’s directors, officers, and other employees would have expended considerable time and effort to negotiate, implement and consummate the share exchange, and their time may have been diverted from other important business opportunities and operational matters while working to implement the share exchange.

· Revenue Synergies Not Achieved.  The Ormat special committee considered that revenue synergies may not be realized despite Ormat no longer being controlled by a foreign company.

The Ormat special committee concluded that the potential benefits that it expected Ormat and Ormat’s stockholders would achieve as a result of the share exchange outweighed the risks and potentially negative factors relevant to the share exchange.  The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Ormat special committee is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material factors considered by the Ormat special committee.  In view of the variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the share exchange, the Ormat special committee did not find it practicable to, and did not quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to, the specific factors considered in reaching its determination and recommendation.  In addition, individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.  The Ormat special committee did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor or any particular aspect of any factor supported or did not support its ultimate decision.  The Ormat special committee based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented.

The Ormat Board of Directors

The Ormat board of directors met on November 10, 2014 to consider the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the share exchange. On the basis of the recommendations of the Ormat special committee and the Ormat audit committee and the other factors described below, the Ormat board of directors unanimously, among other things, (i) approved and declared advisable the share exchange agreement, the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement, (ii) directed that the share issuance be submitted to Ormat’s stockholders, and (iii) recommended, subject to the terms of the share exchange agreement, that the holders of Ormat common stock approve the share issuance. See “—Background of the Share Exchange.”

Among other things, the Ormat board of directors considered:

· the unanimous recommendations of the Ormat special committee and the Ormat audit committee that the Ormat board of directors (i) approve and declare advisable the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the share exchange, (ii) direct that the share exchange be submitted to Ormat’s stockholders, and (iii) recommend, subject to the terms of the share exchange agreement, that the holders of Ormat common stock approve the share exchange; and

· the factors considered by the Ormat special committee as described in “The Share Exchange and Related Transactions—Recommendations of the Ormat Special Committee and the Ormat Board of Directors and Their Reasons for the Share Exchange —The Ormat Special Committee,” including the positive factors and potential benefits of the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and by the other transaction documents, the risks and potentially negative factors relating to the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and the factors relating to procedural safeguards.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Ormat board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Ormat board of directors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Ormat board of directors in evaluating the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Ormat board of directors did not find it practicable, and did not attempt, to quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the foregoing factors in reaching its conclusion. In addition, individual members of the Ormat board of directors may have given different weights to different factors and may have viewed some factors more positively or negatively than others.

Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Ormat Special Committee

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated October 13, 2014, Ormat retained J.P. Morgan as the financial advisor to the Ormat special committee in connection with the proposed transaction and was requested to deliver a fairness opinion in connection with the proposed transaction.

At the meeting of the Ormat special committee on November 9, 2014, J.P. Morgan rendered its oral opinion that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the exchange ratio in the proposed share exchange and related transactions was fair, from a financial point of view, to Ormat.  At the meeting of the Ormat board on November 10, 2014, J.P. Morgan confirmed its November 9, 2014 oral opinion by delivering its written opinion to the Ormat board, dated November 9, 2014, that, as of such date, the exchange ratio in the proposed share exchange and related transactions was fair, from a financial point of view, to Ormat.  No limitations were imposed by Ormat’s board upon J.P. Morgan with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by it in rendering its opinion.

The full text of the written opinion of J.P. Morgan dated November 9, 2014, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex A to this information statement and is incorporated herein by reference.  Ormat’s stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety.  J.P. Morgan’s written opinion is addressed to the Ormat board, is directed only to the exchange ratio in the share exchange and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of Ormat.  The summary of the opinion of J.P. Morgan set forth in this information statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.

In arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan, among other things:

· reviewed a draft dated November 7, 2014 of the share exchange agreement;

· reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning Ormat and Ormat Industries and the industries in which they operate;

· compared the financial and operating performance of Ormat and Ormat Industries with publicly available information concerning certain other companies J.P. Morgan deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices of shares of Ormat common stock and Ormat Industries ordinary shares and current market prices of certain publicly traded securities of such other companies;

· reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the management of Ormat related to its business (for more information about the Ormat projections (as defined below), please see “—Ormat Internal Projections”), as well as the estimated amount and timing of cost savings and related expenses and synergies expected by the management of Ormat to result from the share exchange (the “potential synergies”);

· reviewed certain appraisals, dated October 31, 2014, prepared by a third party regarding the appraised value of certain real estate and related assets of Ormat Industries (the “real estate appraisal”); and

· performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as J.P. Morgan deemed appropriate for the purposes of its opinion.

J.P. Morgan also held discussions with certain members of the management of Ormat and Ormat Industries with respect to certain aspects of the share exchange and related transactions , and the past and current business operations of Ormat and Ormat Industries, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of Ormat, the effects of the share exchange and related transactions on the financial condition and future prospects of Ormat, and certain other matters J.P. Morgan believed necessary or appropriate to its inquiry.

38

J.P. Morgan relied upon and assumed, without assuming responsibility or liability for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with J.P. Morgan by Ormat and Ormat Industries or otherwise reviewed by or for J.P. Morgan.  Other than J.P. Morgan’s review of the real estate appraisal describe above, J.P. Morgan did not conduct or was not provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor did J.P. Morgan evaluate the solvency of Ormat or Ormat Industries under any state, federal or foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to it, including the potential synergies referred to above, J.P. Morgan assumed that they were reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by management as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of Ormat to which such analyses or forecasts relate.  J.P. Morgan expressed no view as to such analyses or forecasts (including the potential synergies) or the assumptions on which they were based.  J.P. Morgan also assumed that the share exchange will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to J.P. Morgan by, representatives of Ormat, that the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement will be consummated as described in the share exchange agreement, and that the definitive share exchange agreement would not differ in any material respect from the draft thereof provided to J.P. Morgan.  J.P. Morgan is not a legal, regulatory or tax expert and J.P. Morgan relied on the assessments made by advisors of Ormat with respect to such issues. J.P. Morgan further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the share exchange will be obtained without any adverse effect on Ormat or Ormat Industries or on the contemplated benefits of the share exchange.

The Ormat projections used in connection with J.P. Morgan’s analysis of the share exchange and related transactions were not prepared with a view to public disclosure. The Ormat projections are subject to significant uncertainties, were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of management, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions that could cause actual results to vary significantly from those set forth in such projections, as described in “Ormat Internal Projections—Cautionary Statement.”

The potential synergies furnished to J.P. Morgan were prepared by Ormat management and include both cost synergies and revenue synergies.  The cost synergies prepared by Ormat management contain certain assumptions regarding the time and cost to achieve such synergies. The revenue synergies provided by Ormat management include potential revenue synergies from two projects in Ormat’s product segment which Ormat  currently does not believe it could undertake due to being perceived as a company controlled by a foreign corporation. Ormat management estimated to J.P. Morgan that, if these projects were to be pursued by Ormat, Ormat would have a 30% probability of securing the contracts for these projects.  The revenue synergies prepared by Ormat management assume (i) depreciation and amortization consistent with the product segment in 2016 as a percentage of revenue, (ii) EBIT (defined as earnings before interest and taxes) margins are 30% and (iii) the new project contracts would not require additional capital expenditures or other working capital requirements.

J.P. Morgan’s opinion is based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to J.P. Morgan as of, the date of such opinion.  Subsequent developments may affect J.P. Morgan’s opinion, and J.P. Morgan does not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm such opinion. J.P. Morgan’s opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio in the proposed share exchange and related transactions, and J.P. Morgan has expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the share exchange and related transactions to, or any consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Ormat or the underlying decision by Ormat to engage in the share exchange.  J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion as to the price at which shares of Ormat common stock or Ormat Industries’ ordinary shares will trade at any future time, whether before or after the closing of the share exchange and related transactions.

In accordance with customary investment banking practice, J.P. Morgan employed generally accepted valuation methods in reaching its opinion.  The following is a summary of the material financial analyses utilized by J.P. Morgan in connection with providing its opinion.

39

Public Trading Multiples Analysis

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared selected financial data of Ormat with similar data for selected publicly traded companies engaged in businesses which J.P. Morgan judged to be similar to Ormat.  The companies selected by J.P. Morgan, based on its professional judgment and experience, were NRG, Calpine, Dynegy, TransAlta and Capital Power Corporation.  These companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies with operations and business that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to Ormat based on sector participation, financial metrics and form of operations.  Among other calculations, the information J.P. Morgan calculated for each of the selected companies included the multiple of firm value (calculated as equity value plus total debt and other adjustments, including non-controlling interest, net of cash and cash equivalents) to publicly available estimates of 2014 and 2015 EBITDA (calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization).  Results of the analysis were presented for the selected companies, as indicated in the following table:

	Trading Multiple
	Firm Value to 2014E EBITDA	Firm Value to 2015E EBITDA
High	11.4x	10.1x
Low	7.2x	7.1x
Median	9.2x	8.4x

J.P. Morgan selected a range for each multiple of 8.0x to 10.0x for 2014 estimated EBITDA and 7.0x to 9.0x for 2015 estimated EBITDA.  These multiples were then applied to Ormat management estimates of 2014 EBITDA and 2015 EBITDA contained in the Ormat projections, yielding implied trading values for Ormat Common Stock of approximately $24.26 to $35.75 per share for estimated 2014 EBITDA and $19.90 to $31.79 per share for estimated 2015 EBITDA.

After applying the multiple reference ranges for Ormat, the analysis indicated implied trading values for Ormat Industries ordinary shares of $6.06 to $8.74 per share for estimated 2014 EBITDA and $5.04 to $7.82 per share for estimated 2015 EBITDA, in each case, (i) based on the sum of (x) the implied equity value of Ormat Industries ownership in Ormat (on a diluted basis), (y) the book value of Ormat Industries tangible assets (other than its ownership in Ormat and the appraised real estate and related assets) as of September 30, 2014 and (z) the appraised value of the appraised real estate and related assets from the real estate appraisal and (ii) using a U.S. Dollar to New Israeli Shekel exchange rate of 3.7417 as of October 28, 2014 (3.695 as September 30, 2014 to convert book value of Ormat Industries tangible assets (other than its ownership in Ormat and the appraised real estate and related assets)).

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis for the purpose of determining the equity value per share for both Ormat and Ormat Industries.  A discounted cash flow analysis is a method of evaluating an asset using estimates of the future unlevered free cash flows generated by the asset, and taking into consideration the time value of money with respect to those cash flows by calculating their “present value.” The “unlevered free cash flows” refers to a calculation of the future cash flows generated by an asset without including in such calculation any debt servicing costs. Specifically, unlevered free cash flow represents unlevered net operating profit after tax, adjusted for depreciation, capital expenditures, changes in net working capital, and certain other one-time cash expenses as applicable. “Present value” refers to the current value of the cash flows generated by the asset, and is obtained by discounting those cash flows back to the present using a discount rate that takes into account macro-economic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital and other appropriate factors. “Terminal value” refers to the present value of all future cash flows generated by the asset for periods beyond the projections period.

40

J.P. Morgan calculated the unlevered free cash flows that Ormat is expected to generate during fiscal years 2015 through 2017 based upon the Ormat projections prepared by Ormat management.  J.P. Morgan also calculated a range of terminal values of Ormat at the end of the three-year period ending 2017 by applying a terminal growth rate ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% of the unlevered free cash flow of Ormat during the final year of the three-year period, which range of terminal growth rates was selected by J.P. Morgan based on its professional judgment and expertise.  The unlevered free cash flows and the range of terminal asset values were then discounted to present values using a range of discount rates from 6.5% to 7.5%, which was chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Ormat.  The present value of the unlevered free cash flows and the terminal values were adjusted for the net present value of Ormat’s tax net operating losses and Ormat’s net debt as of September 30, 2014.  This analysis indicated a range of equity values of between $24.91 and $38.97 per share of Ormat common stock on a stand-alone basis (i.e., without synergies).

After applying the indicated ranges of the equity value per share of Ormat, the analysis indicated the following implied equity value for Ormat Industries ordinary shares of $6.18 to $9.68 per share (i) based on the sum of (x) the implied equity value of Ormat Industries ownership in Ormat (on a diluted basis), (y) the book value of Ormat Industries tangible assets (other than its ownership in Ormat and the appraised real estate and related assets) as of September 30, 2014 and (z) the appraised value of the appraised real estate and related assets from the real estate appraisal and (ii) using a U.S. Dollar to New Israeli Shekel exchange rate of 3.7417 as of October 28, 2014 (3.695 as September 30, 2014 to convert book value of Ormat Industries tangible assets (other than its ownership in Ormat and the appraised real estate and related assets)).

Relative Value Analysis

Based upon the implied equity value per share for Ormat and Ormat Industries calculated in its public trading multiples analysis and discounted cash flow analysis described above, J.P. Morgan calculated an implied exchange ratio of Ormat Industries per share value to Ormat’s per share value, as shown in the table below.  For each comparison, J.P. Morgan compared the highest equity value per share for Ormat Industries to the lowest equity value per share for Ormat to derive the highest exchange ratio implied by each set of referenced ranges. J.P. Morgan also compared the lowest equity value per share for Ormat Industries to the highest equity value per share for Ormat to derive the lowest exchange ratio implied by each set of referenced ranges.The implied exchange ratios resulting from this analysis were:

	Implied Exchange Ratios
	Low	High
Public Trading Multiples Analysis
Firm value to 2014E EBITDA	0.1695x	0.3603x
Firm value to 2015E EBITDA	0.1586x	0.3928x
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis	0.1587x	0.3887x

Value Creation Analysis

J.P. Morgan conducted an intrinsic value creation analysis that compared the implied equity value of Ormat derived from a discounted cash flow valuation on a standalone basis to the implied equity value of the pro forma combined company.  J.P. Morgan determined the pro forma combined company implied equity value by calculating: (i) the sum of (a) the implied equity value of Ormat using a 7.00% discount rate, the midpoint weighted average cost of capital of Ormat, and the midpoint terminal growth rate of 1.0%, (b) the book value of Ormat Industries tangible assets (other than its ownership in Ormat and the appraised real estate and related assets) as of September 30, 2014, (c) the appraised value of the appraised real estate and related assets from the real estate appraisal, and (d) the estimated present value of the potential synergies, discounted to present value using a discount rate of 7.00% and, with respect to the cost synergies, net of costs to achieve and using a terminal growth rate of 1.00% and, with respect to the revenue synergies, a probability weighted percentage of 30%, less (ii) the estimated transaction fees and expenses relating to the transaction.

41

J.P. Morgan also conducted a market based value creation analysis derived from market value of Ormat and Ormat Industries on a standalone basis to the implied market value of the pro forma combined company.  J.P. Morgan determined the pro forma combined company implied market value by calculating: (i) the sum of (a) the market capitalization of Ormat as of October 28, 2014, (b) the market capitalization of Ormat Industries as of October 28, 2014, and (c) the estimated present value of the potential synergies, discounted to present value using a discount rate of 7.00% and, with respect to the cost synergies, net of costs to achieve and using a terminal growth rate of 1.00% and, with respect to the revenue synergies, a probability weighted percentage of 30%, less (ii) the sum of (a) the market value of Ormat Industries ownership of Ormat as of October 28, 2014 and (b) the estimated transaction fees and expenses related to the transaction.

Both the intrinsic value creation analysis and the market based value creation analysis indicated that the transaction created hypothetical incremental implied value for the holders of shares of Ormat common stock. There can be no assurance, however, that the potential synergies, transaction-related expenses and other impacts will not be substantially greater or less than those estimated by Ormat’s management and described above.

Historical Exchange Ratio Analysis

J.P. Morgan compared the per share daily closing market price of Ormat and Ormat Industries for the last five years from October 28, 2014 (the last day of unaffected trading) and calculated the average implied historical exchange ratio during this period.  Specifically, for each trading day, J.P. Morgan divided the daily closing price per share of Ormat Industries by that of Ormat Common Stock. J.P. Morgan calculated (i) the exchange ratio based on the closing stock prices on the last unaffected date of trading on October 28, 2014 and (ii) the average implied exchange ratios for the ten-day, twenty-day, three-month, six-month, one-year, three-year and five-year periods ending on October 28, 2014.  J.P. Morgan also calculated the average implied premium (or discount) of the market capitalization of Ormat Industries ordinary shares (less the market value of Ormat Industries’ ownership of Ormat).  A summary of the historical exchange ratio analysis  is set forth in the table below:

Period	Average Exchange Ratio
Unaffected Date (10/28/2014)	0.2488x
10 days	0.2459x
20 days	0.2532x
3 months	0.2643x
6 months	0.2679x
1 year	0.2672x
3 years	0.2662x
5 years	0.2702x

J.P. Morgan noted that historical exchange ratio analysis is not a valuation methodology but was presented merely for informational purposes.

Miscellaneous

The summary set forth above of certain material financial analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by J.P. Morgan. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. J.P. Morgan believes that the foregoing summary and its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the foregoing summary and these analyses, without considering all of its analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the analyses and its opinion. In arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan did not attribute any particular weight to any analyses or factors considered by it and did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative), considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion.  Rather, J.P. Morgan considered the totality of the factors and analyses performed in determining its opinion. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are inherently uncertain, as they are subject to numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties and their advisors. Accordingly, forecasts and analyses used or made by J.P. Morgan are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by those analyses. Moreover, J.P. Morgan’s analyses are not and do not purport to be appraisals or otherwise reflective of the prices at which businesses actually could be bought or sold. None of the selected companies reviewed as described in the above summary is identical to Ormat.  However, the companies selected were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with operations and businesses that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to those of Ormat. The analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the companies compared to Ormat and the transactions compared to the share exchange and related transactions.

42

As a part of its investment banking business, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.  J.P. Morgan was selected to advise the special committee of the board of directors of Ormat with respect to the share exchange and related transactions and to deliver an opinion to Ormat’s board of directors with respect to the share exchange and related transactions on the basis of such experience and its familiarity with Ormat.

For services rendered in connection with the share exchange and related transactions, Ormat has agreed to pay J.P. Morgan a fee of $2 million, all of which will become payable only if the proposed share exchange is consummated.  In addition, Ormat has agreed to reimburse J.P. Morgan for its expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, and will indemnify J.P. Morgan against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under federal securities laws.

During the two years preceding November 9, 2014, the date of J.P. Morgan’s opinion, neither J.P. Morgan nor any of its affiliates have had any other material financial advisory or other material commercial or investment banking relationships with Ormat or Ormat Industries. One of J.P. Morgan’s affiliates owns 100% of the Class B Membership Interests in ORTP LLC. Ormat Nevada Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat, owns 100% of the Class A Membership Interests in ORTP LLC, and is the Managing Member of ORTP.  ORTP LLC in turn owns 100% of Ormat Funding LLC, Oral Geothermal LLC, and ORNI 44 LLC. These three subsidiary entities in turn own, directly and indirectly all of the equity interests in separate geothermal power projects known as the Ormesa, Heber 1, Heber 2, Heber South, Mammoth, Galena 1, Steamboat 2/3, and Brady power projects.  In addition, one of J.P. Morgan’s affiliates owns 30% of the Class B Membership Interests in OPC LLC. Ormat Nevada Inc. owns 100% of the Class A Membership Interests in OPC LLC, and is the Managing Member of OPC. OPC LLC owns 100% of the following project companies: Orni 3 LLC, Steamboat Hills, LLC, and Orni 14 LLC, which in turn own the Desert Peak 2, Galena 2, Steamboat Hills, and Galena 3 geothermal power projects.

In the ordinary course of their businesses, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of Ormat or Ormat Industries for their own accounts or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, they may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

Ormat Internal Projections

In connection with the Ormat special committee’s evaluation and negotiation of the share exchange, Ormat provided the Ormat special committee and its independent financial advisor, J.P. Morgan, certain prospective financial statement information related to selected income statement line items and selected non-GAAP financial measures, for its fiscal years ended 2014 through 2017 inclusive, together with certain assumptions (summarized below) used in determining those financial metrics, which were prepared by Ormat’s management as of September 30, 2014 for presentations made to certain of Ormat’s commercial lenders (the “Ormat projections”).  With Ormat’s consent, the Ormat projections were used and relied upon by J.P. Morgan in their financial analyses of Ormat in connection with the proposed share exchange (see “—Opinion of Ormat’s Financial Advisor”).

43

Cautionary Statements

The Ormat projections contain certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The Ormat projections, while presented with numerical specificity, are necessarily based on a variety of estimates and assumptions and thus are subjective in many respects and subject to interpretation.  Those estimates and assumptions concern future events and conditions that may not be realized and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, industry, regulatory, market and financial uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are subject to significant economic and competitive uncertainties and beyond Ormat’s control.  Because the Ormat projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year.  Moreover, events and circumstances occurring subsequent to the date on which the Ormat projections were prepared may be different from those assumed, or, alternatively, may have been unanticipated, and thus the occurrence of these events may affect financial results in a materially adverse or materially beneficial manner.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given concerning the accuracy of the Ormat projections or Ormat’s availability to achieve the projected results, inasmuch as some assumptions inevitably will be incorrect.  Actual financial results may differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied by the Ormat projections.

Other than providing earnings guidance for the current fiscal year and, towards the end of a given fiscal year, with respect to the next fiscal year, Ormat generally does not make public disclosures, or include in its reports filed with the SEC, information about its anticipated financial position, results of operations or other prospective financial statement information, or assumptions or estimates about prospective financial statement information, such as the Ormat projections described below, and does not plan to do that unless otherwise required by applicable law.  The Ormat projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure, to comply with the guidelines for prospective financial statements published by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or the rules and regulations of the SEC, and by their nature are not financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Ormat’s independent accountants have neither examined nor compiled the Ormat projections and accordingly do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the Ormat projections, assume no responsibility for the Ormat projections and disclaim any association with the Ormat projections.

Certain Assumptions

Key assumptions underlying the Ormat projections include the following:

· Generation is based on new projects of up to 150MW until 2017;

· Product segment revenues and margins from fiscal year 2014 will be maintained;

· Research and development expenses increase 10% per year;

· A new tax equity transaction in 2016;

· No material impact on results of operations from the Sarulla accounting treatment;

· Excluding write-offs in 2014 and prospectively; and

· Effective tax rate of 26.5% from 2013 will be maintained.

Ormat has not updated and does not intend to update, or otherwise revise, the Ormat projections or underlying assumptions to reflect circumstances existing since their preparation or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even if any or all of the assumptions on which the Ormat projections were based are shown to be in error.  Furthermore, Ormat does not intend to update or revise the Ormat projections to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.  Accordingly, no undue reliance should be placed on any such assumptions or the Ormat projections.

Summary of Projections

The following table presents a summary of the Ormat projections for the fiscal years 2014 through 2017.  As noted above, these financial projections were provided to and used by J.P. Morgan in performing certain analyses described in “—Opinion of Financial Advisor to the Ormat Special Committee” above.

	Fiscal Years Ending December 31, (in millions)
	2014E			2015E			2016E			2017E
Total Revenues	$	563		$	588		$	623		$	678
Total Cost of Revenues	$	(363	)	$	(376	)	$	(393	)	$	(424	)
Operating Income	$	149		$	160		$	176		$	198

Net Income	$	63		$	70		$	81		$	86
Adjusted EBITDA	$	264		$	273		$	293		$	325

Non-GAAP Measures

The Ormat projections include forecasts of “Adjusted EBITDA” among other things.  We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment of long-lived assets and one-time termination fee.  Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net earnings as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented here because:

· the Ormat projections were prepared for a presentation to our commercial lenders, and we understand they find that helpful in evaluating our compliance with financial covenants in certain of our loan agreements with those lenders and, generally, in evaluating our ability to service and/or incur debt; and

· the Ormat projections, in the same form as presented to our commercial lenders, were made available to J.P. Morgan, for its use in performing certain financial analyses of Ormat as described above.

We make no representation about the use of Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the share issuance, share exchange, the exchange ratio or any of the related transactions referred to in this information statement.  Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do.

45

The Parties

As described in “Summary” above, the share exchange and related transactions principally involve Ormat, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems.  For additional information regarding the parties and the Ormat group, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is incorporated by reference into this information statement.

The Ormat Group Reorganization

On November 10, 2014, Ormat, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems entered into the share exchange agreement in order to change the ownership and corporate structure of the Ormat group through the share exchange and several related transactions.  The share exchange agreement specifically provides for:

· the transfer to Ormat of each outstanding Ormat Industries ordinary share in exchange for the right to receive 0.2592 shares of Ormat common stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in the share exchange agreement), so that Ormat Industries will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat;  

· within three business days thereafter, the transfer by Ormat Industries of all of the Ormat common stock held by it to Ormat, which will be canceled immediately upon receipt;  

· promptly following such distribution and in no event earlier than one business day thereafter, the transfer by Ormat of all the ordinary shares of Ormat Systems held by it to Ormat Industries, in exchange for one ordinary share of Ormat Industries, so that Ormat Systems becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat Industries; and  

· on March 31, 2015, the merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems following which Ormat Industries will cease to exist and Ormat Systems will be the surviving company.  

The diagram below shows the current ownership and corporate structure of the Ormat group (excluding any subsidiaries of the Ormat group other than Ormat Systems) prior to consummating the share exchange and other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement.

The Section 350 Voting Approval and Court Approval

The share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement will be effected by way of a court-approved scheme of arrangement, in accordance with Sections 350 and 351 of the Israel Companies Law, which requires that the parties obtain the Court approval (as described below under “The Share Exchange Agreement—Court Approval”) before consummating any of these steps, including that the Court grant an exemption from the prospectus delivery requirements under Section 15A(a)(3) of the Israel Securities Law. Obtaining the Court approval is not assured.

Among other things, receipt of the Court approval will depend on approval of the transactions by Ormat Industries shareholders (and, if ordered by the Court, creditors) by a majority in number (per capita) of shareholders (and, if applicable, creditors) present, by person or by proxy, representing at least 75% of the votes cast at the Ormat Industries shareholders (and, if applicable, creditors) meetings; provided, that, with respect to the Ormat Industries shareholders meeting either (i) the shares voting in favor of such matters include at least a majority of the shares voted by shareholders who are not Bronicki Investments and FIMI, or (ii) the total number of shares voted against the resolution by the shareholders described in clause (i) does not exceed two percent of the outstanding Ormat Industries ordinary shares.

It should be noted that the Court has the authority, and the ISA may direct, a different requisite majority for the approval of the Ormat Industries’ shareholders (and, if applicable, creditors), such as by requiring Ormat Industries to obtain approval of shareholders (or creditors) in several class meetings, if the Ormat Industries shareholders have materially different interests in the proposed share exchange that prompt such classification.

     Following the approval of the arrangement by the shareholders (and, if necessary, creditors) of Ormat Industries, Ormat Industries will request that the Court hold a hearing on the fairness of the arrangement regardless of whether or not any objections to the arrangement have been raised and approve the arrangement and the order of all actions to be taken in accordance therewith.

Certain Effects of the Share Exchange

As a result of the share exchange and related transactions:

· Ormat Industries will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat;  

· Ormat will no longer be a “controlled company” under the NYSE rules and therefore will no longer be able to rely upon certain exemptions from the director independence requirements applicable to our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee under the NYSE rules;

47

· based on the estimated number of shares of Ormat common stock and Ormat Industries ordinary shares that will be outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the share exchange, we estimate that immediately following the consummation of the share exchange:  

o existing Ormat stockholders (other than Ormat Industries) will own approximately 37.76% of the outstanding shares of Ormat common stock;  

o former Ormat Industries shareholders will own approximately 62.24% of the outstanding shares of Ormat common stock;  

o the number of shares of Ormat common stock held by non-affiliated, “public” shareholders will increase from approximately 40.25% to 76.08%;  

o       Bronicki Investments and FIMI will own approximately 8.85% and 15.07%, respectively, of our outstanding common stock. Bronicki Investments and FIMI are parties to a shareholder rights agreement that, among other things, includes joint voting and other arrangements that affect Ormat and our subsidiaries, as described below in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”  As a result, the expected beneficial ownership of our outstanding common stock by these persons following the share exchange, and taking into consideration the shareholders rights agreement between them, Bronicki Investments and FIMI could exert significant influence on the election of our directors and on decisions by our shareholders on matters submitted to shareholder vote, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, subject to the conditions set forth in our voting neutralization agreements with each of them described below in “Additional Agreements—Voting Neutralization Agreements” below;  

·       the share exchange, after giving effect to the issuance of approximately 30.2 million shares of our common stock and the retirement of approximately 27.2 million shares of our common stock held by Ormat Industries, will reduce earnings per share, on a pro forma basis from $1.03 to $0.94 per share on a fully diluted basis;    

·       the conditions imposed by the Israeli tax ruling may limit our flexibility in operating our business and our ability to enter into certain corporate transactions (see “Material Consequences of the Israeli Tax Ruling” below); and

· we will encounter certain risks, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” above.  

Certain Securities Law Matters

By virtue of the Court approval, the issuance of the shares of Ormat common stock to the Ormat Industries shareholders will be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereunder and the Israeli prospectus delivery requirements by reason of Section 15A(a)(3) of the Israel Securities Law.

Listing of Ormat Common Stock

After the share exchange, shares of Ormat common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE under the symbol “ORA.” It is a condition to the completion of the share exchange that the shares of Ormat common stock to be issued in connection with the share exchange be authorized for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

You should be aware that some of Ormat’s directors and executive officers have interests in the share exchange and related transactions that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Ormat shareholders generally, as follows:

Yoram Bronicki, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Yehudit “Dita” Bronicki, a member of our board of directors and the Chairperson of our compensation committee, and other members of the Bronicki family currently beneficially own approximately 14.21% of Ormat Industries’ ordinary shares through Bronicki Investments. Also, as described above Bronicki Investments is a party to, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, an Ormat Industries shareholder undertaking agreement and voting neutralization agreement and will be a party to each of the escrow agreement, which will be signed prior to the closing, and the registration rights agreement (if upon the request of Bronicki Investments or FIMI the parties enter into the agreement). In addition, Bronicki Investments will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, and applicable to them in, the Israeli tax ruling. Each of Lucien Bronicki and Yehudit Bronicki, along with their son, Youval Bronicki, serves as a member of the board of directors of Ormat Industries.  Lucien Bronicki and Yehudit Bronicki were the founders of Ormat Industries, and until June 30, 2014 served as executive officers of Ormat Industries.

48

Each of Gillon Beck and Ami Boehm, members of our board of directors, is a partner of FIMI Opportunity Funds and is an affiliate of FIMI. FIMI currently beneficially own approximately 24.22% of Ormat Industries’ ordinary shares. Also, as described above FIMI is a party to, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, an Ormat Industries shareholder undertaking agreement and voting neutralization agreement and will be a party to the escrow agreement, which will be signed prior to the closing, and that registration rights agreement (if upon the request of Bronicki Investments or FIMI the parties enter into the agreement). In addition, FIMI will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, and applicable to them in, the Israeli tax ruling. Gillon Beck also serves as a member of the board of directors of Ormat Industries, along with Ishay Davidi, the founder and chief executive officer of FIMI Opportunity Funds.

Each of Isaac Angel, our Chief Executive Officer, Doron Blachar, our Chief Financial Officer, and Etty Rosner, our Corporate Secretary, also serves in a similar capacity at Ormat Industries. Each of these individuals holds options and stock appreciation rights to purchase shares of our common stock, but have not been granted options or other rights to purchase ordinary shares of Ormat Industries.

Our special committee and board of directors were aware of these different or additional interests and considered them, among the other factors described in this information statement, in reaching their decision to approve the share exchange agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Accounting Treatment and Considerations

The share exchange will be accounted for as the acquisition of Ormat Industries by Ormat, with Ormat as the continuing reporting entity. The historical carrying values of Ormat’s assets and liabilities will not change. The net assets of Ormat Industries, other than its equity interests in Ormat, will be transferred to Ormat at their historical carrying values.

In the share exchange, Ormat Industries’ shareholders will exchange their Ormat Industries ordinary shares for new shares of Ormat common stock and Ormat Industries’ equity interests in Ormat will be canceled. Upon the issuance of new shares of Ormat common stock to Ormat Industries’ shareholders and the corresponding cancelation of Ormat Industries’ holdings of shares of Ormat common stock, Ormat’s total consolidated stockholders’ equity will be adjusted to reflect the carrying values of Ormat Industries’ net assets, other than its equity interests in Ormat, as increases to additional paid-in capital.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Share Exchange and Related Transactions

The share exchange and related transactions should qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.  As such, the transactions will not result in the taxable recognition of any material income, gain or loss to Ormat Industries or to us.  In any event, whether or not the transactions so qualify, since our stockholders do not participate in the transactions, our stockholders will not recognize taxable gain or loss in connection with the transactions.

No Dissenters’ Rights or Appraisal Rights

Ormat stockholders will not be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights with respect to the share exchange or related transactions.

49

MATERIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE ISRAELI TAX RULING

The receipt of shares of Ormat common stock by a holder of Ormat Industries ordinary shares (including FIMI and Bronicki Investments) in connection with the share exchange is generally a taxable transaction for Israeli income tax purposes.  However, the Ormat group has obtained a ruling from the ITA confirming that, subject to certain conditions stipulated in the Israeli tax ruling and described below (all of which must generally be complied with in order to maintain such tax treatment and the other provisions set forth in the ruling), the taxable event related to the capital gains tax to be imposed on holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares in connection with the share exchange will be deferred until the holder subsequently transfers the Ormat common stock it receives in the share exchange.  However, the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Ormat common stock will be a taxable transaction for Israeli income tax purposes for holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares.

Among the conditions to such tax treatment are a number of conditions that will affect Ormat, including the conditions that, until the end of the second calendar year following the receipt of the approvals of the Ormat stockholders and the Ormat Industries shareholders (i.e., until December 31, 2016 if we obtain these approvals by December 31, 2014):

●      Ormat must continue to hold a majority of the assets that it and Ormat Industries held immediately prior to the consummation of the share exchange and continue to use them in the ordinary course of business;

●      each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI may not sell their shares of common stock of Ormat (and such restriction would be deemed to apply in the case of a sale of Ormat to a third party, such as by way of a merger), other than in certain limited situations (provided that in any such event their respective shareholdings shall not decrease to less than 51% of their holdings in Ormat immediately following the share exchange), including the following:

o      a sale of less than 10% of the shares held by the relevant shareholder or, if Bronicki Investments and FIMI have agreed between themselves, a higher percentage, provided that the total number of shares that may be sold by Bronicki Investments and FIMI does not exceed 10% of all of their holdings in Ormat Technologies);

o      a private placement by Ormat of Ormat common stock is not permitted unless it involves a private placement to investors that were not shareholders of Ormat prior to such issuance and is in an amount that shall not exceed 25% of the number of shares of Ormat common stock prior to such issuance (and 20% on a post-issuance basis); and

o      a public offering of shares of Ormat common stock on a stock exchange pursuant to a prospectus;

provided, that each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI may at any time after one year after the closing of the share exchange sell all (but not less than all) of its respective shares to an unaffiliated third party solely for cash consideration, provided that such transferee will assume and be subject to the conditions imposed by the Israeli tax ruling on the selling shareholder.

50

Provided that all of the conditions of the Israeli tax ruling are satisfied, under the income tax laws of Israel, the share exchange will not have any tax consequences for Ormat Industries or Ormat Systems.  Additionally, the related transactions that occur subsequent to the share exchange would also generally be taxable transactions for Israeli income tax purposes if not for the Israeli tax ruling and the conditions imposed therein.  Some of those conditions, along with additional conditions imposed upon the transactions generally by the ruling, also affect Ormat and its subsidiaries.  Those conditions include, among others, that:

·      for a period of two years following the closing of the merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems (i.e., until March 31, 2017, assuming that the merger closing occurs on March 31, 2015 as contemplated):

o      Ormat Systems must continue to hold a majority of the assets that it and Ormat Industries held immediately prior to the merger closing and continue to use them in the ordinary course of business;

o      Ormat Systems will continue to engage in the principal financial activities in which Ormat Systems and Ormat Industries were engaged immediately prior to the closing; and

o      Ormat may not sell its shares in Ormat Systems, other than in certain limited situations, and in any event its interest in Ormat Systems may not be reduced to less than 51% during such period; and

·     until the end of the fourth calendar year after the date that each of the Ormat stockholder approval and Ormat Industries shareholder approval have been obtained (i.e., until December 31, 2018 if we obtain these approvals by December 31, 2014):

o      The Ormat group must maintain (and, to the extent that the Ormat group’s operations expand, likewise expand) the production activities currently carried out in Israel through Ormat Systems and may not open a production factory outside of Israel that produces the same items that are currently produced by Ormat Systems in Israel (except in the field of evaporative cooling); and

o     to the extent that the Ormat Systems factory in Israel is producing at full capacity during this period, Ormat and its subsidiaries will supplement that production to the extent necessary through subcontractors in Israel and/or abroad and/or through an expansion of the Ormat Systems factory in Israel, provided that such commitment does not apply to the production of air coolers.

The Israeli tax ruling also provides that Ormat Industries’ losses may be offset against Ormat Systems’ taxable income (if any) on a ratable basis only over a period of seven years, beginning with the first tax year following the closing (i.e., assuming the closing will occur in 2015, 2016) and such losses cannot offset more than 50% of Ormat Systems’ taxable income in any one year.

In addition, Ormat Systems must deliver to the ITA an appraisal of the real property assets in Israel being transferred to it by Ormat Industries in connection with the merger and pay purchase tax in respect thereof at a rate of 0.5% of the value of such assets. Finally, pursuant to the ruling Ormat Industries was required to declare that as of the date of the Israeli tax ruling the Ormat group entities did not intend to build a production factory outside of Israel in the fields of production that currently exist in Ormat Industries’ factory in Yavne, Israel (provided that the Ormat group may examine, in light of the significantly high transportation costs in the field of air-coolers, the possibility of engaging in operations in such field outside of Israel).

51

THE SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

The following describes the material provisions of the share exchange agreement, which has been filed with the SEC and is incorporated by reference herein. The description in this section and elsewhere in this information statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the share exchange agreement. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the share exchange agreement that is important to you. We encourage you to read carefully the share exchange agreement in its entirety.

The share exchange agreement and this summary of its terms have been included to provide you with information regarding the terms of the share exchange agreement. Factual disclosures about Ormat or Ormat Industries contained in this information statement or in Ormat’s public reports filed with the SEC or Ormat Industries’ public reports filed with the ISA may supplement, update or modify the factual disclosures about Ormat or Ormat Industries contained in the share exchange agreement and described in this summary.

The share exchange agreement includes, among other things, representations and warranties about certain matters related to the Ormat group. You should not rely on those representations and warranties, or the summary below, as accurate statements of factual information. There are several reasons for this, including:

· Subsequent developments, new information or other changes could affect the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties. The representations and warranties were made as of dates specified in the share exchange agreement, without any obligation of the parties to update or revise them for subsequent developments. This summary only deals with the representations and warranties as they appear in the share exchange agreement, without change for any subsequent developments, new information or other factors that could affect their continued accuracy.  

· The representations and warranties in the share exchange agreement reflect negotiations of the parties. They are negotiated, among other things, as a way of allocating certain risks among the parties, rather than establishing matters as factual or legal information. They are also negotiated based on various materiality or other priorities or the parties. Those contractual materiality or other standards may differ from what would be considered material or otherwise important to shareholders of Ormat or Ormat Industries, under applicable laws and rules or otherwise.  

· The representations and warranties in the share exchange agreement are subject to important exceptions and qualifications that have been negotiated by the parties. Many of those exceptions and qualifications are set forth in disclosure letters exchanged by the parties. Information contained in those disclosure letters can significantly impact what might otherwise be understood just from the terms of the representation or warranty in the share exchange agreement or this summary.

The Share Exchange

The share exchange agreement sets forth the terms and conditions governing a series of transactions to change the ownership and corporate structure of the Ormat group, which are summarized in other sections of this information statement.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the share exchange agreement, the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement will be implemented through an Israeli court-approved scheme of arrangement under Sections 350 and 351 of the Israel Companies Law. See “Summary” and “The Share Exchange and Related Transactions—The Ormat Group Restructuring.”

On November 10, 2014, Ormat, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems entered into the share exchange agreement.  Among other things, it provides for: (i) the conversion of each outstanding Ormat Industries’ ordinary share into the right to receive that number of shares of Ormat common stock equal to the exchange ratio, so that Ormat Industries will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat, (ii) within three business days thereafter, the transfer by Ormat Industries of all of the Ormat common stock held by it to Ormat, following which such shares will be canceled, (iii) promptly following such transfer (but not earlier than one business day thereafter), the transfer by Ormat of all the ordinary shares of Ormat Systems held by it to Ormat Industries, in exchange for one fully paid and nonassessable Ormat Industries ordinary share issued to Ormat, so that Ormat Systems becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat Industries, and (iv) on March 31, 2015, the merger of Ormat Industries with and into Ormat Systems following which Ormat Industries will cease to exist and Ormat Systems will be the surviving company.

52

The Share Exchange Consideration

Upon completion of the share exchange, each ordinary share of Ormat Industries outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the share exchange (other than treasury shares) will be transferred to, and acquired by, Ormat in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive new shares of Ormat common stock at the exchange ratio.  The initial exchange ratio is 0.2592 shares of Ormat common stock for each ordinary share of Ormat Industries.  The exchange ratio will be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any forward or reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of Ormat common stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of Ormat common stock occurring on or after the date of the share exchange agreement and prior to the effective time.

We will not issue any fractional shares of Ormat common stock in exchange for Ormat Industries ordinary shares. Fractional shares of Ormat common stock that would otherwise be allocable to any former record holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares will be aggregated, and no holder of Ormat Industries ordinary shares will receive cash equal to or greater than the value of one full share of Ormat common stock. The exchange agent will promptly cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold, in the open market or otherwise as we direct, and in no case later than 30 business days after the effective time of the share exchange. The exchange agent will make available the net proceeds from those sales, after deducting any required withholding taxes and brokerage charges, commissions, transfer taxes and fees, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of Ormat Industries ordinary shares entitled to receive such cash. Payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Ormat common stock will be made solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Ormat of issuing fractional shares of Ormat common stock and will not represent separately bargained-for consideration.

Upon completion of the share exchange Ormat Industries will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat.

Share Exchange Completion and Effective Time

The share exchange will be completed on a date no later than the second business day (or such other period of time agreed to by the parties) after satisfaction or (where permissible under applicable law) waiver of the conditions in the share exchange agreement, or at such other time as Ormat and Ormat Industries may agree. We refer to this as the “effective time” or “closing date.”

The conditions for completing the share exchange are summarized below in “—Conditions to the Share Exchange.” They include, among other things, approval by the Court.  There is no certainty when, if at all, the Court approval and other conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions to the share exchange are not satisfied (or, where permissible by applicable law, waived), neither the share exchange nor any of the other related transactions will be completed.  If the share exchange is completed the other steps in the restructuring of the Ormat group will, and in accordance with the Israeli tax ruling, must occur later.

Representations and Warranties

The share exchange agreement contains representations and warranties that Ormat Industries made to Ormat and Ormat Systems, on the one hand, and Ormat and Ormat Systems made to Ormat Industries, on the other hand, as of specific dates.

53

Ormat Industries, on the one hand, and Ormat and Ormat Systems, on the other hand, made substantially reciprocal representations and warranties in the share exchange agreement that relate to, among other topics, the following:

• due organization, good standing and corporate power;  

• authority to enter into and perform the share exchange agreement and the other agreements executed in connection therewith as well as the execution, delivery and enforceability of such agreements;  

• the absence of conflicts with or violations of governance documents, material agreements or laws as a result of the execution and delivery of the share exchange agreement and other agreements executed in connection therewith or the completion of the share exchange, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement and the other agreements executed in connection therewith;  

• the absence of investigations, litigation and related proceedings;  

• compliance with applicable laws, including anti-bribery laws, and permits;  

• filings with the ISA (in the case of Ormat Industries) and with the SEC (in the case of Ormat), the absence of any material adverse changes and their respective solvency as of the date the share exchange agreement was signed;  

• the absence of undisclosed brokers’ and financial advisors’ fees;  

• accuracy of information supplied by the parties for inclusion in the Ormat information statement and Ormat Industries proxy statement relating to the applicable meeting of stockholders of Ormat Industries, the information statement to be provided by Ormat and the proxy statement to be provided by Ormat Industries to its stockholders and other filings to be made by the parties in connection with the transactions;  

• tax matters; and  

• that such entity is not subject to any “business combination,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price” or similar anti-takeover statute that applies to the share exchange or any other transaction contemplated under the share exchange agreement.

Ormat Industries has also made certain representations and warranties to Ormat that relate to, among other topics, the following:

• capital structure, subsidiaries and corporate separateness of direct Ormat Industries subsidiaries;

• title to Ormat common stock held by Ormat Industries;  

• title to certain assets;  

• lack of material liabilities;

Ormat has also made certain representations and warranties to Ormat Industries that relate to, among other topics, the following:

• the ownership and operations of Ormat Systems; and  

• the authorized shares of Ormat capital stock and the due issuance of the shares of Ormat common stock to be issued to the Ormat Industries shareholders upon consummation of the share exchange.

Many representations and warranties are qualified by a “material adverse effect” standard. That means they will not be treated as untrue or incorrect unless their failure to be true or correct, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect. In addition, the closing conditions relating to the accuracy of representation and warranties is generally subject to a “material adverse effect” standard as described in greater detail under “—Conditions to the Share Exchange.”

The term “material adverse effect,” when used with respect to Ormat Industries, means any circumstance, change, development, condition or event that with respect to Ormat Industries that (i) would or is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the assets, business, financial condition or results of operations of Ormat and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) materially impairs, prevents or delays the ability of Ormat Industries to consummate the share exchange, the merger and the other transactions to be performed or consummated by Ormat Industries pursuant to the share exchange agreement. Any effect resulting or arising from or relating to an Ormat material adverse effect will not be considered when determining whether an Ormat Industries material adverse effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur.

The term “material adverse effect,” when used with respect to Ormat, means any circumstance, change, development, condition or event that, individually or in the aggregate, (a) has a material adverse effect on the assets, business, financial condition or results of operations of Ormat and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) materially impairs, prevents or delays the ability of Ormat to consummate the share exchange, the merger and the other transactions to be performed or consummated by Ormat pursuant to the share exchange agreement.

Covenants

Efforts to Close

Ormat, Ormat Systems and Ormat Industries agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take actions reasonably necessary under the share exchange agreement and applicable laws and regulations to consummate the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement as promptly as practicable, including obtaining of all necessary consents of governmental authorities or other persons. The required consents include, among other things:

• the Section 350 voting approval;  

• consents required under certain bank financing documents and certain indentures to which Ormat is a party.

In connection with the foregoing, each of the parties has agreed to (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other anti-takeover law or similar law is or becomes applicable to the share exchange or any of the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement and (ii) if any such anti-takeover law or similar law becomes applicable to the share exchange or any of the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by the share exchange agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such law on the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement.

Ormat Stockholder Consent

On November 10, 2014, Ormat Industries took action by written consent to approve the share issuance. That consent authorizes the share issuance, without any vote, consent, approval or other action by our other stockholders.  However, we agreed to mail to all stockholders of record on the record date for the stockholder written consent this information statement, and include in this information statement the recommendation of our board of directors that our stockholders approve the share issuance.

55

Ormat Industries Shareholders (and, if required, Creditors) Meetings

Ormat Industries agreed to seek the required approval of an Israeli court authorizing the share exchange on the terms and conditions set forth in the share exchange agreement.  Specifically, Ormat Industries agreed:

• to file with the court a motion to convene, in the manner and content set forth in the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated pursuant to Sections 350 and 351 of the Companies Law and as shall be ordered by the Court, shareholders meetings (and, if necessary, creditors’ meetings), for the approval of the terms and conditions of the share exchange and to deliver a proxy statement to its shareholders in accordance with applicable law.

Each of Ormat and Ormat Systems agreed to certain restrictions on the operation of their respective businesses pending the closing. Subject to certain exceptions, Ormat will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, conduct its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices. Ormat also agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of Ormat Industries (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) prior to the termination of the share exchange agreement or the closing:

• amend or otherwise change its incorporation documents;  

• declare, set aside, make or pay any dividends or other distribution, payable in stock, property or otherwise, with respect to any of its capital stock, enter into any agreement with respect to the voting of its capital stock, or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any Ormat equity interests, other than (i) dividends declared or payable in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its past practices and (ii) dividends payable by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat to Ormat or another wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat;

Court Approval

As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of the share exchange agreement, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems are required to prepare and submit to the Court a first motion to convene, in the manner and content set forth in the Companies Law and the regulations promulgated pursuant to Sections 350 and 351 of the Companies Law and as ordered by the Court, a shareholders meeting (and, if necessary, a creditors meeting) to obtain the Section 350 voting approval.

Ormat Industries, through its board of directors, is required to recommend to its shareholders the approval of the arrangement, including the share exchange agreement.  Ormat Industries is required to comply with all applicable requirements of the Companies Law, the regulations promulgated pursuant to Sections 350 and 351 of the Companies Law and the Court.  Ormat Industries undertook to use commercially reasonable best efforts to solicit from Ormat Industries shareholders (and, if necessary, creditors) proxies in favor of the approval of the arrangement.

Following the approval of the arrangement by the shareholders (and, if necessary, creditors) of Ormat Industries, Ormat Industries will request that the Court hold a hearing on the fairness of the arrangement, regardless of whether or not any objections to the arrangement have been raised, and approve the arrangement and the order of all actions to be taken in accordance therewith.

We and Ormat Systems agreed to assist with all activities with respect to the preparation and filing of the motions with respect to the Court approval and all other documents prepared with respect to the arrangement as may be requested by Ormat Industries. We and Ormat Systems also agreed to promptly provide to Ormat Industries all such information concerning our respective business and financial statements and affairs as reasonably may be required or appropriate for inclusion in any motions to be filed in connection with the arrangement.

57

Certain Tax Matters

Each of Ormat, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems agreed (i) not to take any action or fail to take any action that would cause the share exchange, the merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) to cooperate with one another and to provide each other any information and documentation necessary for the Transaction to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and comply with the Israeli tax ruling.

Board Recommendation of Ormat Industries

The Ormat Industries board of directors and special committee are obligated to recommend that the shareholders of Ormat Industries approve the share exchange agreement, the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Ormat Industries recommendation”) and include that recommendation in Ormat Industries’ proxy statement. The Ormat Industries recommendation may not be withdrawn or modified in a manner that adversely affects the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement. However, at any time prior to obtaining the Section 350 voting approval and solely in response to an Ormat Industries intervening event, the Ormat Industries recommendation may be withdrawn or modified in a manner that adversely affects the transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement if the board of directors of Ormat Industries or a duly constituted committee thereof (including the Ormat Industries special committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the board of directors of Ormat Industries or such committee under applicable law.

NYSE and TASE Listing

Ormat agreed to use its reasonable efforts to ensure that its common stock issued in the share exchange is authorized for listing on the NYSE as of the effective time of the share exchange, subject to official notice of issuance. Ormat Industries agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions prior to the closing to enable the delisting of the Ormat Industries ordinary shares from the TASE as practicable promptly after the share exchange is completed.

Other Covenants and Agreements

The share exchange agreement contains certain other covenants and agreements by the parties. These include, among others:

• the parties cooperating, with respect to any public announcements regarding the transactions;  

• the parties giving each other notice of a consent that may be required in connection with the transactions, any action commenced or threatened relating to the completion of the transactions and any change that would reasonably be expected to cause any condition, covenant or agreement contained in the share exchange agreement, or the other agreements executed in connection therewith, to fail to be complied with or satisfied;  

• Ormat having access to Ormat Industries’ properties, books, contracts, commitments, management and other personnel;  

• the parties cooperating in the prompt preparation and filing of certain required filings with the SEC or ISA;

58

•       requiring Ormat, for a period of seven years after the effective time, (i) to cause the charter documents of Ormat Systems to contain provisions for indemnification and limitation of liabilities of Ormat Industries directors and officers that are no less favorable than are set forth in the charter documents of Ormat Industries, and (ii) to perform any existing indemnification agreements between Ormat Industries and its current or former directors and officers in a manner that the share exchange will not adversely affect them.  This means, among other things, that the limitation of liability imposed in such indemnification agreements, being 25% of the total equity of Ormat Industries as reported in its last financial statements before the payment for an indemnity claim, would mean that, following the share exchange, such limitation will be capped at 25% of the total equity of Ormat (as the public company surviving the transactions) as reported on our last financial statements before the payment for an indemnity claim;  

• the parties cooperating with respect to stockholder litigation regarding the transactions;  

• Ormat Industries buying, for a premium not to exceed $950,000, a prepaid “tail” to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in amount and scope at least as favorable as Ormat Industries’ existing insurance policies to cover, for at least seven years, claims arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the effective time, which is expected to include coverage for matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the share exchange agreement;  

• the parties not taking any action which would cause the share exchange and related transactions to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” under applicable provisions of the Code;  

• the parties using their  reasonable commercial efforts to obtain and maintain the Israeli tax ruling; and  

• the parties terminating the existing registration rights agreement between Ormat and Ormat Industries.

Conditions to the Share Exchange

The respective obligation of Ormat and Ormat Industries to effect the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Ormat, Ormat Industries and Ormat Systems) of certain conditions, some of which have been satisfied, including obtaining the Ormat stockholder approval and the Israeli tax ruling.  Other conditions which need to be satisfied or waived include the following:

 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

The following describes the material provisions of certain other agreements that are part of share exchange transactions, which have been filed with the SEC and are incorporated by reference herein. The descriptions in this section and elsewhere in this information statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the additional agreements. This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the additional agreements that is important to you. We encourage you to read carefully each of the additional agreements in its entirety.

In connection with the share exchange agreement, we entered into several agreements, summarized below, with Bronicki Investments, FIMI and Ormat Industries.

Ormat Industries Shareholder Undertaking Agreements

Each of FIMI and Bronicki Investments has entered into the Ormat Industries shareholder undertaking agreements with us. Under these agreements each of FIMI and Bronicki Investments has, among other things, agreed:

• to vote, and has provided to Ormat an irrevocable proxy to vote, at the meetings of Ormat Industries shareholders in favor of the approval and adoption of the share exchange agreement and the approval of the share exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the share exchange agreement and against any resolution that would preclude fulfillment of a condition precedent under the share exchange agreement to Ormat’s, Ormat Industries’ or Ormat Systems’ obligation to consummate the share exchange or the other transactions contemplated under the share exchange agreement;  

• to comply with the terms of the Israeli tax ruling applicable to such shareholder;  

• to sign and deliver its counter signature of the Israeli tax ruling;  

• to enter into an agreed-form of escrow agreement, pursuant to which it will deposit the ordinary shares of Ormat Industries it beneficially owns with an escrow agent no later than two business days prior to the closing, and instruct the escrow agent to act under the escrow agreement in accordance with the Israeli tax ruling and perform any actions required for Bronicki Investments and FIMI to comply with the provisions of the Israeli tax ruling.  

These agreements and proxies currently account for approximately 38.43% of Ormat Industries’ outstanding ordinary shares. Bronicki Investments and FIMI have entered into the Ormat Industries shareholder undertaking agreements only in their capacities as shareholders of Ormat Industries and may vote such shares on all other matters submitted to Ormat Industries shareholders for their approval.

The Ormat Industries shareholder undertaking agreements terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the effective time of the share exchange, (ii) the termination of the share exchange agreement, and (iii) 11:59 pm (Israel time) on December 31, 2014 if the Section 350 voting approval (solely of Ormat Industries shareholders) is not obtained by then; provided that the undertaking to comply with the terms of the Israeli tax ruling applicable to each shareholder will survive the effective time of the share exchange. The Ormat Industries shareholder undertaking agreement for Bronicki Investments will expire at 11:59 pm (Israel time) on November 30, 2014, unless the ITA has issued a clarification ruling as described in that agreement.

• Bronicki Investments currently owns approximately 14.21% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ormat Industries.  Based on the exchange ratio in the share exchange agreement, Bronicki Investments would own approximately 8.85% of our outstanding common stock if the share exchange is completed, based on the number of Ormat Industries ordinary shares held by Bronicki Investments as of November 20, 2014.  

63

• FIMI currently owns approximately 24.22% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Ormat Industries.  Based on the exchange ratio in the share exchange agreement, FIMI would own approximately 15.07% of our common stock if the share exchange is completed, based on the number of Ormat Industries ordinary shares held by FIMI as of November 20, 2014.  

• Bronicki Investments and FIMI are parties to the Bronicki Investments FIMI Shareholder Agreement, as described in “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Agreements of Bronicki Investments and FIMI” below.  

Voting Neutralization Agreements

Each of FIMI and Bronicki Investments has entered into the voting neutralization agreement with us. Among other things, the voting neutralization agreements would:

• require each of FIMI and Bronicki Investments to vote all Ormat voting securities owned by them and their respective affiliates in excess of 16% and 9%, respectively, of the combined voting power of Ormat shares in proportion to votes cast by the other holders of Ormat voting securities at any time any action is to be taken by Ormat stockholders;  

• prohibit the acquisition of Ormat voting securities by FIMI and Bronicki Investments and their respective affiliates if after giving effect to any such acquisition FIMI and Bronicki Investments and their respective affiliates would beneficially own voting securities representing in the aggregate more than 20% and 12%, respectively, of the combined voting power of Ormat shares;  

• prohibit, prior to January 1, 2017, the sale of more than 10% of all Ormat voting securities owned in the aggregate by FIMI and Bronicki Investments;  

• allow, following January 1, 2017, the sale of Ormat voting securities owned by FIMI and Bronicki Investments only if FIMI and Bronicki Investments are not acting in concert to sell or, if they are, only with 20 days’ prior written notice to Ormat, subject to certain exceptions for public sales and mergers and acquisitions transactions; and  

•       prohibit FIMI and Bronicki Investments from renewing their shareholder agreement (described below under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Agreements of Bronicki Investments and FIMI—Bronicki Investments FIMI Shareholder Agreement”) beyond its expiration in May 2017.

Each of the voting neutralization agreements terminates upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the share exchange agreement pursuant to its terms, (ii) the written agreement of Ormat (acting at the direction of a majority of the directors not affiliated or associated with the applicable shareholder) to terminate the voting neutralization agreement or (iii) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Ormat. In addition, each of the voting neutralization agreements terminates three months after the applicable shareholder, together with its affiliates, collectively beneficially owns voting securities of Ormat representing less than (x) 4%, in the case of our agreement with Bronicki Investments, and (y) 6%, in the case of our agreement with FIMI, of the aggregate total voting power of Ormat (continuously for such three-month period).

Registration Rights Agreement

We, FIMI and Bronicki Investments have also agreed, upon request by FIMI or Bronicki Investments to enter into an agreed form of the registration rights agreement which generally provides that, subject to the conditions set forth therein:

• each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI will have the right to require Ormat to prepare and file with the SEC, and use its best efforts to cause the effectiveness of, one registration statement to register the resale of the shares of Ormat common stock such shareholder will receive in the share exchange; and  

• in the event that Ormat files a registration statement in connection with any public offering of shares of its common stock it will provide to each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI the opportunity to include in such registration statement any of their shares of Ormat common stock that can be registered under the registration rights agreement.  

64

Ormat Shareholder Undertaking Agreement

In connection with the share exchange agreement, on November 10, 2014, Ormat entered into a voting agreement with Ormat Industries, which we refer to as the Ormat shareholder undertaking agreement.  Under that agreement, Ormat Industries, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, agreed to vote in favor of the issuance of the shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the share exchange and to vote against any action that would preclude fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the share exchange under the share exchange agreement.  On November 10, 2014, Ormat Industries signed a written consent voting its shares of Ormat common stock in accordance with the Ormat shareholder undertaking agreement.

65

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Aside from the share exchange agreement and related agreements, we and Ormat Systems have a number of agreements with Ormat Industries as of the date of this information statement.  Ormat Industries beneficially owns approximately 59.75% of our common stock. Certain of our directors, namely Yehudit Bronicki, Lucien Bronicki, and officers, namely Yoram Bronicki, beneficially own approximately 14.21% of the ordinary shares of Ormat Industries. Certain of our directors, namely Gillon Beck and Ami Boehm, beneficially, through their interests in FIMI, own approximately 24.22% of the ordinary shares of Ormat Industries, in each case as of November 20, 2014, as described in “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

The agreements listed below involve transactions with related persons as defined in SEC regulations.  Each of the related party transactions listed or described below is on terms that we believe are at least as favorable to us as would have been obtained in an arm’s length transaction. The registration rights agreement listed below will terminate at the closing of the share exchange and, when Ormat Industries is merged into Ormat Systems, each of the other agreements listed below to which Ormat Industries is a party will terminate as a result of the merger.

The Bronicki Investments FIMI shareholder agreement has been amended and restated in connection with the share exchange agreement on November 10, 2014.  A summary of the amended and restated agreement follows.

The Bronicki Investments FIMI shareholder agreement, which becomes effective as of, and subject to, the closing of the share exchange, contains various provisions governing matters such as:

·      voting and transfers of the shares of Ormat common stock to be held by Bronicki Investments and FIMI following the share exchange (including a right of first offer, “tag-along” right, a “bring-along” right and, by way of an amendment to the Bronicki Investments sale agreement, a call option right to FIMI);

·      the composition of the board of directors of Ormat and its active subsidiaries and the committees of the board of directors of Ormat;

·      agreements concerning various corporate policies and governance matters relating to Ormat and its subsidiaries, to the extent subject to a vote of Ormat stockholders; and

·      compliance with the Israeli tax ruling, including the internal allocation between Bronicki Investments and FIMI of the amount of shares of Ormat common stock they are permitted to sell under the Israeli tax ruling.

The Bronicki Investments FIMI shareholder agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, Bronicki Investments and FIMI will:

·      subject to any applicable law and fiduciary duties, use their reasonable efforts to cause an equal number of designees of Bronicki Investments and FIMI to be elected or appointed to our board of directors and to the boards of all of our active subsidiaries and to the committees of our board of directors.  Specifically, Bronicki Investments and FIMI agreed that they will each have the right to designate four members to our board of directors.  The number of directors that Bronicki Investments and FIMI may designate is subject to staged adjustments if either Bronicki Investments or FIMI or both cease to own specified minimum numbers of shares of our common stock, within various ranges specified in the Bronicki Investments FIMI shareholder agreement; and

·      subject to any applicable law and subject to continued holding of certain minimum numbers of shares of our common stock, use their best efforts to cause the nomination of Bronicki Investments’ designee as our Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of our board or directors (as Bronicki Investments may decide in its sole discretion), and the appointment of FIMI’s designee as the Chairman of our board of directors (if Bronicki Investments’ designee serves as Chief Executive Officer) or our Chief Executive Officer (if Bronicki Investments’ designee serves as Chairman of our board of directors).

The Bronicki Investments FIMI shareholder agreement also provides that, subject to applicable law, it is the view of Bronicki Investments and FIMI that Ormat should distribute in each calendar year dividends in an amount equal to 20% of our profits available for distribution.

The Bronicki Investments FIMI shareholder agreement will be effective upon the closing of the share exchange and will terminate on May 22, 2017, provided that during the period from January 1, 2017 until May 22, 2017 any exercise of Bronicki Investments’ or FIMI’s rights with respect to the transfer of the shares of our common stock by the other party described above will be subject to the respective voting neutralization agreements entered into between us and each of Bronicki Investments and FIMI in connection with the share exchange, as described above in “Additional Agreements—Voting Neutralization Agreements.”

However, we subsequently determined that stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock (the “Excess Stock Options”) were not validly granted under the plan because they exceeded the limit on the number of stock options that any participant may receive in one calendar year pursuant to the then-current terms of the plan. Accordingly, the attempted grant of these Excess Stock Options was ineffective, and they were never granted to Mr. Blachar. The number set forth for Mr. Blachar in the table excludes the Excess Stock Options.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following sets forth certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information which gives effect to the share exchange. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth below is presented for informational purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the share exchange been completed on the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information set forth below assumes that the share exchange occurred on September 30, 2014 in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations information set forth below for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 assume that the share exchange occurred on January 1, 2013 in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the share exchange, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for each of Ormat (which are incorporated by reference into this information statement) and Ormat Industries (which are included elsewhere in this information statement) for the applicable periods.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

The share exchange will be accounted for as the acquisition of Ormat Industries by Ormat, with Ormat as the continuing reporting entity.  The historical carrying values of Ormat’s assets and liabilities will not change. The net assets of Ormat Industries, other than its equity interests in Ormat, will be transferred to the combined company at their historical carrying values, which are not expected to be significant.  The accounting for the transaction is based on the fact that there are minimal activities of Ormat Industries other than the activities of Ormat (its majority-owned subsidiary).

The adjustments to the pro forma financial statements were made in two columns to more easily explain the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.  The first adjustment column (Adjustment I) was provided to eliminate inter-company amounts given that Ormat Industries consolidates Ormat’s financial results as well as to reclassify amounts between financial statement line items to align with the presentation utilized by Ormat given the fact that Ormat reports its financial results under GAAP and Ormat Industries reports its financial results under IFRS.  The second adjustment column (Adjustment II) was provided to adjust Ormat Industries’ financial results from IFRS to GAAP as well as to reflect the shares issued based on the periods noted above.

The adjustments to the pro forma financial statements were made as follows:

Adjustment (I) column to the Statement of Operations Information for each of the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

This column was provided to show the effects of each of the following:

(3) reclassification of accretion expenses of the asset retirement obligation from interest expense according to Ormat’s presentation of cost of revenues in accordance with GAAP;

(4) reclassification of foreign exchange differences within other non-operating expenses according to Ormat’s presentation of foreign currency translation and transaction gains (losses) in accordance with GAAP; and

(5) reclassification of interest income within other non-operating expenses according to Ormat’s presentation of interest income in accordance with GAAP.

Adjustment (II) column to the Statement of Operations Information for each of the year ended December 31, 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

(c) elimination of the implementation of IAS 19, Employee Benefits;

(d) elimination of the reduction of the Brawley power plant impairment amount for the proceeds of the grant received, which under IFRS can be recorded to the statement of operations;

(g) to adjust earnings per share for the shares issued in connection with the share exchange.

Adjustment (I) column to the Balance Sheet Information as of September 30, 2014:

This column was provided to show the effects of each of the following:

(2) adjustment to the mapping of current maturities of notes and long-term notes according to Ormat’s presentation in accordance with GAAP to current portion of long-term debt (recourse and non-recourse)

(f) elimination of the impairment recorded under IFRS (IAS 36) for the Jersey power plant according to the discounted cash flows of the plant compared to GAAP (since under GAAP, the first step of the impairment analysis is based on undiscounted cash flows, for which there was no impairment);

MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION

 Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ORA.” Public trading of our stock commenced on November 11, 2004. Prior to that, there was no public market for our stock.

Dividends

We have adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which we currently expect to distribute at least 20% of our annual profits available for distribution by way of quarterly dividends. In determining whether there are profits available for distribution, our Board of Directors will take into account our business plan and current and expected obligations, and no distribution will be made that in the judgment of our Board of Directors would prevent us from meeting such business plan or obligations. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the share exchange agreement, we are permitted to declare and pay dividends declared or payable in the ordinary course of business and consistent with our past practices.

Notwithstanding this policy, dividends will be paid only when, as and if approved by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. The actual amount and timing of dividend payments will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations, business prospects and such other matters as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Even if profits are available for the payment of dividends, the Board of Directors could determine that such profits should be retained for an extended period of time, used for working capital purposes, expansion or acquisition of businesses or any other appropriate purpose. As a holding company, we are dependent upon the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries in order to fund any dividend distributions and, as a result, we may not be able to pay dividends in accordance with our policy. Our Board of Directors may, from time to time, examine our dividend policy and may, in its absolute discretion, change such policy. In addition to the required Board of Directors’ approval for the payment of dividends, the Company can declare as dividends no more than 35% of annual net income as dividends due to restrictions related to its third-party debt (see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference into this information statement).

We have declared the following dividends over the past two years:

	Dividend
Date Declared	Amount per Share	Record Date	Payment Date
August 6, 2013	$0.04	August 19, 2013	August 29, 2013

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Householding of Information Statements

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we are permitted to deliver a single information statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, called householding, allows us to reduce the number of copies of these materials we must print and mail. Even if householding is used, each stockholder will continue to be entitled to submit a separate proxy or voting instruction.

The Company is not householding this year for those stockholders who own their shares directly in their own name. If you share the same last name and address with another Company stockholder who also holds his or her shares directly, and you would each like to start householding for the Company’s annual reports and proxy and information statements, please contact us at Ormat Technologies, Inc., 6225 Neil Road, Reno, Nevada 89511, Attention: Corporate Secretary, telephone (775) 356-9029.

This year, some brokers and nominees who hold Company shares on behalf of stockholders may be participating in the practice of householding proxy and information statements and annual reports for those stockholders. If your household receives a single information statement but you would like to receive your own copy, please contact us as stated above, and we will promptly send you a copy. If a broker or nominee holds Company shares on your behalf and you share the same last name and address with another stockholder for whom a broker or nominee holds Company shares, and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of the Company’s disclosure documents, please contact your broker or nominee as described in the voter instruction card or other information you received from your broker or nominee.

If you consent to householding, your election will remain in effect until you revoke it. Should you later revoke your consent, you will be sent separate copies of those documents that are mailed at least 30 days or more after receipt of your revocation.

The Board of Directors

Ormat Technologies, Inc.

Members of the Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Ormat Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) of the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) in the proposed Transaction (as defined below) with Ormat Industries Ltd. (the “Transaction Partner”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange and Plan of Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”), among the Company, Ormat Systems Ltd., a direct subsidiary of the Company (“Ormat Systems”), and the Transaction Partner, (i) each outstanding ordinary share, par value NIS 1.0 per share, of the Transaction Partner (the “Transaction Partner Ordinary Shares”), other than Transaction Partner Ordinary Shares held in treasury or owned by the Transaction Partner, will be exchanged in a share exchange effected through an Israeli court-approved arrangement in accordance with the Israeli Companies Law (the “Share Exchange”) into the right to receive 0.2592 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), and as a result the Transaction Partner will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) within three business days after the Share Exchange, the Transaction Partner will transfer all of the shares of Company Common Stock held by it to the Company, which shares will be automatically cancelled (the “First Internal Transfer”); (iii) promptly following the Internal Distribution, the Company will transfer all of the outstanding ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.0 per share, of Ormat Systems to the Transaction Partner (the “Second Internal Transfer”), and as a result Ormat Systems will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Transaction Partner; and (iv) on March 31, 2015 (or such other time as the Company, the Transaction Partner and Ormat Systems may agree) the Transaction Partner will merge with and into Ormat Systems, with Ormat Systems surviving (the “Merger” and, together with the Share Exchange, the First Internal Transfer and the Second Internal Transfer, the “Transaction”), and as a result Ormat Systems will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In connection with preparing our opinion, we have (i) reviewed a draft dated November 7, 2014 of the Agreement; (ii) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning the Transaction Partner and the Company and the industries in which they operate; (iii) compared the financial and operating performance of the Transaction Partner and the Company with publicly available information concerning certain other companies we deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices of the Transaction Partner Ordinary Shares and the Company Common Stock and the current market prices of certain publicly traded securities of such other companies; (iv) reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by the management of the Company relating to its business, as well as the estimated amount and timing of the cost savings and related expenses and synergies expected to result from the Transaction (the “Synergies”); (v) reviewed certain appraisals, dated October 31, 2014, prepared by a third party regarding the appraised value of certain real estate and related assets of the Transaction Partner (the “Real Estate Appraisal”); and (vi) performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as we deemed appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In addition, we have held discussions with certain members of the management of the Transaction Partner and the Company with respect to certain aspects of the Transaction, and the past and current business operations of the Transaction Partner and the Company, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of the Company, the effects of the Transaction on the financial condition and future prospects of the Company, and certain other matters we believed necessary or appropriate to our inquiry.

In giving our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with us by the Transaction Partner and the Company or otherwise reviewed by or for us, and we have not independently verified (nor have we assumed responsibility or liability for independently verifying) any such information or its accuracy or completeness. Other than our review of the Real Estate Appraisal, we have not conducted or been provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor have we evaluated the solvency of the Transaction Partner or the Company under any state, federal or foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to us or derived therefrom, including the Synergies, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by management as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of the Company to which such analyses or forecasts relate. We express no view as to such analyses or forecasts (including the Synergies) or the assumptions on which they were based. We have also assumed that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to us by, representatives of the Company, will be consummated as described in the Agreement, and that the definitive Agreement will not differ in any material respects from the draft thereof furnished to us. We have also assumed that the representations and warranties made by the Company and the Transaction Partner in the Agreement and the related agreements are and will be true and correct in all respects material to our analysis. We are not legal, regulatory or tax experts and have relied on the assessments made by advisors to the Company with respect to such issues. We have further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Transaction Partner or the Company or on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.

A - 2

Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Exchange Ratio in the proposed Transaction and we express no opinion as to the fairness of the Exchange Ratio to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or as to the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Transaction. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors, or employees of any party to the Transaction, or any class of such persons relative to the Exchange Ratio in the Transaction or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. We are expressing no opinion herein as to the price at which the Transaction Partner Ordinary Shares or the Company Common Stock will trade at any future time.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Company with respect to the proposed Transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for our services, all of which will become payable only if the proposed Transaction is consummated. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. Please be advised that during the two years preceding the date of this letter, neither we nor our affiliates have had any other material financial advisory or other material commercial or investment banking relationships with the Company or the Transaction Partner. One of our affiliates owns 100% of the Class B Membership Interests in ORTP LLC. Ormat Nevada Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies, Inc., owns 100% of the Class A Membership Interests in ORTP LLC, and is the Managing Member of ORTP. ORTP LLC in turn owns 100% of Ormat Funding LLC, Oral Geothermal LLC, and ORNI 44 LLC. These three subsidiary entities in turn own, directly and indirectly all of the equity interests in separate geothermal power projects known as the Ormesa, Heber 1, Heber 2, Heber South, Mammoth, Galena 1, Steamboat 2/3, and Brady power projects. In addition, one of our affiliates owns 30% of the Class B Membership Interests in OPC LLC. Ormat Nevada Inc. owns 100% of the Class A Membership Interests in OPC LLC, and is the Managing Member of OPC. OPC LLC owns 100% of the following project companies: Orni 3 LLC, Steamboat Hills, LLC, and Orni 14 LLC, which in turn own the Desert Peak 2, Galena 2, Steamboat Hills, and Galena 3 geothermal power projects.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion as of the date hereof that the Exchange Ratio in the proposed Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

A - 3

The issuance of this opinion has been approved by a fairness opinion committee of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. This letter is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Transaction. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval. This opinion may be reproduced in full in any proxy or information statement mailed to shareholders of the Company but may not otherwise be disclosed publicly in any manner without our prior written approval.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the shareholders of ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ormat Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ormat Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

NOTE 2  –	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
	a.	Basis of presentation:
		The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which include standards and interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”)and include additional disclosures required by the Israeli Securities (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements) Regulations, 2010. The significant accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluation of amounts funded in respect of retirement benefit obligations, and by revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and derivative instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are presented at their fair value. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.  It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.  Actual results may differ materially from estimates and assumptions used by the Group’s management. The classification of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position is based on division into current assets and liabilities, which pertain to periods not in excess of 12 months, and non-current assets and liabilities, except for projects the revenue from which is recognized by the percentage of completion method, with respect of which the period exceeds 12 months but does not exceed 24 months, since the Group charges advances based on the percentage of completion. The Group analyzed the results set forth in the statements of operations using a classification method based on the operating characteristics of expenses.
	b.	Consolidated financial statements:
		1)	Subsidiaries
			Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Group.  The Group controls an entity when it has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee, is exposed or entitled to variable benefits resulting from its involvement in the entity and can apply its power therein to influence the amount of the yield from such entity.  Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.  They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.  Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless there are circumstances indicating impairment in value of the asset transferred.

		Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group for the purpose of consolidation.
	2)	Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control
		Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are treated as equity transactions.  In such transactions, the difference between the fair value of any compensation paid or received and the amount at which the non-controlling interests is adjusted to reflect changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary are carried directly to equity and attributed to equity holders of the Company.
	3)	Joint arrangements
		Commencing January 1, 2011, the Group has applied IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements.  IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements into only two types: “joint operations” and “joint ventures,” depending on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement.  The joint arrangement in the Sarulla project is classified as a joint operation.
	4)	Associated companies
		Associated companies are companies in which the Group has significant influence, but not control; usually, this means a 20% to 50% share in voting rights.  Investments in associated companies are presented by the equity method and initially recognized at cost.  The book value of these investments varies, as cumulative post-acquisition profits or losses of associated companies and of joint ventures are carried to the carrying amount of the investment. The Group’s share in post-acquisition profits or losses of associated companies is carried to income, and its share in post-acquisition changes in other comprehensive income is carried to other comprehensive income.  Cumulative post-acquisition changes are carried to the carrying amount of the investment.  In the event that the Group’s equity in losses of an associated company is equal to, or higher than, the value of its interest therein (including unsecured receivables), the Group does not recognize losses in excess of the cost of its investment in such associated company, unless it is has a legal or constructive obligation to bear such losses in excess of its investment in the associated company or payments have been made on behalf thereof. The Group determines at each reporting date if there is any indication that the carrying amount of the investment in associated companies is not recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the recoverable amount of the investment in the associated company (the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) exceeds their book value. Such difference is recognized in profit and loss under the “share in losses of associated companies” line item.
c.	Segment reporting
	Business segments are reported on the same basis that is used for the purpose of internal reporting to the chief executive decision maker of the Group, who is in charge of allocation of resources to the various segments and evaluation of their performance.

d.	Translation of foreign currency balances and transactions:
	1)	Functional and presentation currency
		Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).  The dollar is the functional and presentation currency of the Company and of most Group companies.
	2)	Transactions and balances
		Transactions made in a currency different from the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.  Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the end-of-period exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of operations. Exchange differences in respect of financial assets and liabilities which are not monetary assets (such as equity securities, e.g. – shares or share options) classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, are recognized in income as part of changes in their fair value.
e.	Power plants and other property, plant and equipment
	Cost of power plants and other property, plant and equipment are recognized only if: (a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group, and (b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Power plants and other property, plant, and equipment are initially recognized at cost of acquisition or costs of construction, less relevant government grants.  Cost of construction of power plants includes direct expenses incurred in geothermal resource exploration (see also f . below), construction and running until they are put into service, borrowing costs in respect of loans used  to finance the construction, as well as the estimate of anticipated costs for eventual dismantling the asset and restoring the site to its previous condition.  Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.  When part of an asset is replaced, its carrying amount is derecognized.  All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Power plants and other property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.  Depreciation and impairment charges on property, plant, and equipment stated at cost are charged to income. Power plants are depreciated using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives (25-30 years). Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method so as to bring their cost amounts to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

	Years
Buildings	15-50
Machinery and equipment	10
Vehicles	5-7
Furniture, fittings, and computer equipment	3-14

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

	Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the improvements. The residual values and useful lives of the assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis. When impairment in value of an asset occurs, it is written down immediately to the recoverable value, see h. below. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount, and are recognized within “other gains (losses) - net” in the statement of operations.
f.	Geothermal resources exploration and evaluation costs
	The Group capitalizes costs incurred in connection with the exploration and development of geothermal resources beginning when it acquires land rights to the potential geothermal resource.  Usually, prior to acquiring land rights, the Group makes an initial assessment that an economically feasible geothermal reservoir is probable on that land using available data and external assessments vetted through its exploration department and, occasionally, through its outside service providers.  Costs incurred prior to acquiring land rights are expensed as part of cost of revenues.  Such costs were not material in any of the three years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.  It normally takes two to three years from the beginning of active exploration of a particular geothermal resource to the time the Group has an operating production well, assuming the resource is commercially viable.  In some cases, however, the process may be longer due to delays in obtaining permits, preparing transmission infrastructure, or other causes of commercial matters required for the advancement of the process. In most cases, the Group obtains the right to conduct geothermal development and operations on land owned by the Bureau of Land Management of the U.S. Department of the Interior (“BLM”) or by private parties.  In consideration for certain of these leases, the Group may pay an up-front non-refundable payment which is a component of the competitive lease process.  The up-front non-refundable payments and other related costs, such as legal fees, are capitalized.  Upon completion of construction and commencement of operation of a power plant, the Groups pays royalties computed as a percentage of electricity revenue to the owners of the land.  Such royalties are expensed as part of cost of revenues. Once land rights to the potential geothermal resource are acquired, the Group performs further studies and surveys, including water and soil analyses, and augments its database with the results of these studies. The Group then initiates a series of geophysical surveys to assess the resource and determine drilling locations.  If the results of these activities support the initial assessment of the feasibility of the geothermal resource, the Group then proceeds to exploratory drilling and other related activities, which may include drilling of temperature gradient holes, drilling of core holes, building access roads to drilling locations, drilling full size production and/or injection wells and flow tests.  If the slim hole supports a conclusion that the geothermal resource will support a commercially viable power plant, it may be converted to a full-size commercial well, used either for extraction or re-injection or geothermal fluids, or used as an observation well to monitor and define the geothermal resource.  Costs associated with these activities and other directly attributable costs, including interest incurred once physical exploration activities begin, as well costs related to obtaining permits, are capitalized and included in “geothermal resources exploration and evaluation”.

B - 16

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Each geothermal resource is examined separately for the purpose of economic feasibility evaluation.  Accordingly, in the period in which the Group concludes that the geothermal resource found justifies construction of a power plant, costs hitherto capitalized in respect of the geothermal resource are reclassified from “geothermal resources exploration and evaluation” in the statements of financial position to “power plants under construction.” In the event that the Group concludes that the geothermal resource does not warrant the construction of a power plant and resolves to abandon it, the costs hitherto capitalized are charged to income as “write-off of costs of unsuccessful exploration activities” when that decision is taken.

All capitalized exploration and evaluation costs, including a one-off payment for the land, which are attributed to a power plant, are amortized over the useful life of that plant commencing with the date on which the related geothermal power plant is substantially completed and ready for use.  A geothermal power plant is ready for use when it can commence operations in the manner intended by the Group.

g.	Intangible assets:
	1)	Power purchase agreements Power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) are mainly stated on the basis of an allocation of acquisition costs, performed at the time the power plants were purchased by the Group, and are amortized over the terms of the agreements (12-25 years), using the straight-line method.
	2)	Patents and trademarks
		Expenses relating to registration of patents and trademarks that give the Group protection in respect of the use of its technological and production know-how are expensed when incurred.  In the statements of financial position, they are stated at token value.
	3)	Computer software
		Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software.  These costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of such licenses (three to five years), using the straight-line method. Costs of maintenance of computer software are recognized as incurred.
	4)	Research and development
		Research expenditure is expensed as incurred.  Costs incurred in respect of development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are also expensed, since, at the time of completion, the criteria defined in International Accounting Standard 38, “Intangible Assets”, for recognition as an asset are not fulfilled.
	At the end of each calendar year, the Group reviews the estimated useful life of its intangible assets, and the amortization method it uses.  Significant changes, if any, in such estimates are implemented prospectively.  When impairment in value of an asset occurs, it is written down immediately to the recoverable amount, see h. below.

h.	Impairment of non-monetary assets
	Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Factors which could trigger impairment include, among others, significant underperformance or projected future underperformance of a power plant, significant changes in the Group’s use of assets or in its overall business strategy, negative industry or economic trends, a significant increase in costs necessary to complete a project, etc. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).  In the electricity segment, each power plant, or power plant complex which serves a single customer, as well as assets used thereby, are defined as cash-generating units.  For example, the operating power plants in a complex are managed under a combined operation management generally with one central control room that controls all of the power plants in a complex and one maintenance group that services all of the power plants in a complex.  As a result, the cash flows from individual plants within a complex are not largely independent of the cash flows of other plants within the complex.  The Company also tests for impairment operating plants which are not operated as a complex, as well as projects under construction or exploration and evaluation, as described in f. above. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value of an asset less costs to sell, and its value in use.  Non-monetary assets in respect of which impairment loss was recognized are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Fair value and value in use are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  The significant assumptions that are used in estimating undiscounted future cash flows include: (i) projected generating capacity of the power plant or a complex of power plants, and rates to be received under the respective PPA or in cases that the estimated useful lives are longer than the PPA period, in accordance with the estimated rates at those periods; (ii) projected operating expenses of the relevant power plant or complex; and (iii) the interest rate used to determine the discounted future cash flows.
i.	Borrowing costs
	Borrowing costs incurred on specific or general credit directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or manufacture  of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use, commencing when all the following conditions are met: (a) the group incurs expenses in respect of the asset; (b) the Group incurs borrowing costs; and (c) it carries out actions required for the preparation of the said asset for its own use or for sale.  Capitalization is discontinued when all the actions required for the preparation of the said asset for its designated use or for sale are virtually completed. The Group mainly capitalizes borrowing costs pertaining to the construction of buildings and power plants or exploration and evaluation activities, whether for its own use or for sale.  Other borrowing costs are expensed.

	If the Group suspends the development of the qualifying asset for an extended period, it suspends capitalization of the related borrowing costs.
j.	Government grants
	Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the statement of operations over the period necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate. Government grants in respect of property, plant, and equipment are deducted from the cost of the related asset in the accounts and recognized in income by way of reduced depreciation charges over the estimated useful life of those assets.
k.	Financial assets
	The Group has elected December 31, 2009 as the initial application date of International Financial Reporting Standard 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”).  IFRS 9 deals with the classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets. The Group classifies its financial assets into two categories: assets stated at amortized cost and assets stated at fair value. Application of the amortized cost approach is reserved for assets which meet both of the following criteria: (i) the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows, and (ii) the contractual cash flows (principal and interest on the balance of the principal) are collectible at fixed dates.  If one of those criteria is not met, the asset is accounted for using the fair value approach. Assets stated at amortized value are initially recognized at fair value with the addition of transaction costs, and thereafter measured at amortized cost (using the effective interest method), net of any impairment provision.  Such assets include loans, accounts receivable and deposits. Assets stated at fair value are initially recognized at fair value and then remeasured at fair value in subsequent periods.  Acquisition costs and fair value adjustments are carried to income upon occurrence.  This category includes listed securities and derivative financial instruments. Financial instruments are derecognized when the entitlement to receive cash flows in respect thereof has expired or transferred, and the Group has disposed of all ownership risks and benefits deriving therefrom. Maturities of assets presented at amortized cost for periods exceeding 12 months from the date of the statement of financial position, and assets stated at fair value that are not designated for current disposal, are included in the statement of financial position among non-current assets, and the other financial assets are presented as current assets. Fair values of financial assets, which are quoted in an active market, are based on their sale price as of the reporting date.  If the trading market of the financial asset (and also in case that the financial asset is not registered for trading), the Group determines the fair value of these assets using valuation methods.  These methods are based on reported prices in previous transactions at market value, relying on similar financial instruments and analysis of forecasted discounted cash flows, which are based on market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific data, see also note 30 below.

	Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and are presented in a net amount in the statement of financial position, only if there is an enforceable legal right to offset the financial assets against the financial liabilities, and when there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
l.	Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
	Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Method of recognitions of differences in fair value of derivative financial instruments depends on whether they are designated as hedges, and if so, on the nature of the hedged asset.  Changes in fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized directly in the statements of operations.  The Group does not purchase derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, but only in order to hedge the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities and firm commitments, or the anticipated changes in cash flows.  Nevertheless, these derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting.  Consequently, changes in their fair value are recognized directly in the statements of operations within “other gains (losses) - net”. These instruments are classified as current assets if the realization thereof is anticipated within one year of the date of the statement of financial position. The Group entered into several derivatives transactions to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the price of natural gas and oil. The derivatives are not accounted for as hedge transactions and are presented at fair value at each statement of financial position date and fair value differences are recognized within electricity revenues. In addition, in order to hedge its Israeli currency expenses, the Group carries out forward currency transactions and transactions in currency options.  Such transactions are not accounted for as hedges, and therefore they are stated at their fair value as of each balance sheet date, with any differences in such fair value being carried to income under “other income (losses)”.
m.	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Provisions for decrease in value of slow or inactive items are based on management’s estimate. The cost on inventories includes the raw material costs, production costs and other expenses accrued to bring the inventories to the current condition. The Group allocates related fixed production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) to the inventories. Cost of items not ordinarily interchangeable and of goods or services separated for the needs of specific projects is determined based on specific identification of their costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Cost of other inventory items is determined on the following basis:
Raw materials and purchased parts for
Assembly	-	On the moving average basis.
Self-manufactured assembly parts, work in
process and finished products:
Raw material component	-	On the moving average basis.
Labor and overhead component	-	At computed production costs (including labor and other direct and indirect costs), based on the stage of processing.

	Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
n.	Trade accounts receivable
	These balances represent amounts receivable from customers in respect of electricity sales, construction of power plants, equipment sold and services rendered in the ordinary course of business.  They are classified to current assets when the payment is expected within a year or less; otherwise, they are classified to non-current liabilities.
o.	Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, short-term bank deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
p.	Share capital
	Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, net of tax, are shown in equity, as a deduction from issuance proceeds. Where the Company or any Group company purchases the Company’s shares (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until such shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
q.	Trade accounts payable
	These balances represent the Group’s liabilities in respect of goods and services acquired in the ordinary course of business.  They are classified to current liabilities when the payment is expected during the normal operational cycle of business; otherwise, they are classified to non-current liabilities.

r.	Borrowings
	Borrowings (which comprise, among others, project financing senior secured notes, bank credit and loans from banks and from institutional investors) are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.  Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of operations over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down.  In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs.  To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates. Loans are classified to current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer payment for at least twelve months after the date of the statement of financial position.
s.	Current and deferred income taxes
	Taxes on income for the year include current and deferred taxes. Taxes are recognized in the statements of operations, except for taxes in respect of items carried directly to other comprehensive income, which are also recognized in equity with the related item. The current income tax provision is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. The Group’s management periodically examines the tax position under the relevant applicable tax laws and regulations and establishes provisions for the estimated tax amounts payable. The Group fully recognizes deferred taxes on temporary differences arising between the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, using the liability method.  However, deferred income taxes are not accounted for if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, has no effect on the profit or loss, whether for accounting or tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits, against which the temporary differences can be utilized, will be available.  Deferred income taxes are determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the date of the statement of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.  See also note 14b. Deferred income taxes are created in respect of temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

	Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset only if: there is an enforceable legal right to offset current deferred tax assets against current deferred tax liabilities; and such deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same jurisdiction on an entity or entities that intend to discharge the tax balances on a net basis. In the event of distribution of dividend out of tax exempt income from “approved and benefited enterprises,” the distributed amount will be subject to tax at the rates applicable to the Company’s income had it not been tax exempt.  Should this occur, such additional taxes will be charged to income.
t.	Employee benefits:
	1)	Pension and retirement benefit obligations
		Under labor laws and agreements in Israel, as well as accepted practice, the Israeli company in the Group is required to pay retirement benefits to employees dismissed or retiring in certain other circumstances.  This obligation is covered by a defined benefit plan, and for some employees - by a defined contribution plan. The obligation to those Israeli employees for whom there is a defined benefit plan is to pay severance based on the number of years of employment and the employee’s last monthly salary. The obligation to the remaining Israeli employees, and to the U.S. employees for whom there are defined contributions plans, is to make regular contributions to separate and independent entities (insurance policies and pension and severance pay funds in Israel, and 401K plans in the US), while it has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of retirement benefit obligations is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the date of the statement of financial position, less the fair value of plan assets.  The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows (after taking into account the expected rate of salary increases) using interest rates of government bonds denominated in new Israeli shekels (the currency in which the benefits will be paid) and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related retirement benefit obligations. The discount rate used in computation of the anticipated cash flows for the purpose of calculation of the actuarial liability was determined based on interest rates of government bonds denominated in new Israeli shekels because it is the opinion of management that there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds. The Group carries the remeasurement of the net liability (assets) in respect of the defined benefit obligation directly to the statement of comprehensive income and expense, in the period in which they arise.  Such remeasurement results from changes in actuarial valuation, differences between past assumptions and actual results, and differences between the net yield of the plan assets stated at the net interest thereon and the net amount of the liability in respect of that obligation.

B - 23

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

	Past-service costs are currently recognized in income. Severance pay funds are measured at fair value.  These funds represent “plan assets” as defined by IAS 19, and therefore are deducted from the balance of retirement benefit obligations for the statement of financial position presentation purposes. As mentioned above, for part of its Israeli employees, the Group purchases insurance policies and pays contributions to pension and severance pay funds in respect of its obligation to pay pension and retirement benefits. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.  The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses commensurate with the service in respect of which the employees are entitled to those payments.
2)	Vacation and recreation benefits
	In certain countries in which the Group operates every employee is legally entitled to vacation and recreation benefits, both of which are computed on an annual basis.  This entitlement is based on the term of employment.  The Group recognizes liability and expense in respect of vacation and recreation pay based on the benefits accumulated for each employee.  This obligation is measured based on the additional amount expected to be payable for unutilized entitlement to the benefit accumulated at the end of the reported period.
3)	Share-based compensation
	The Group operates a number of share-based compensation plans which are equity-settled to the subsidiary’s equity instruments.  Under these plans, the Group grants its employees, from time to time, stock options, at its discretion, to purchase shares of the subsidiary.  The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense in the statements of operations, with a corresponding credit carried to capital surplus in equity under non-controlling interests. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period (the period in which all the vesting conditions are expected to be fulfilled) is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, at grant date.  Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest.  At each date of the statement of financial position, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest on the basis of such non-market vesting conditions.  It recognizes the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the statements of operations, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Proceeds from exercise of stock options, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital (par value) and additional paid-in capital when the options are exercised.
4)	Profit sharing and bonus plans
	The Group recognizes a liability and expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the net income of the Group and its subsidiary, after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes the said liability where contractually obliged or where there is a constructive obligation.

u.

Provisions

Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs, and legal claims are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.  Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.   A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations is small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.  The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

v.

Revenue recognition

The Group’s revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of products and services in the ordinary course of business.  Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group, and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved.  The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction, and the specifics of each arrangement:

1)

Revenues from sales of electricity

Revenues from sales of electricity comprise a capacity component and a delivered output component.  Revenues from sales of electricity are recorded based upon output delivered, with adjustments for capacity provided, at rates specified under relevant contract terms.  Certain power sale arrangements contain elements of operating lease of the plants, as defined in Interpretation 4 published by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), “Determination Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease” (“IFRIC 4”).  The Group separates the lease fee component of such revenues based on the proportion of the fair value of the service and the lease fees.  Since the revenue recognition process is identical both for the service component and for the lease fees component and revenue is recognized based on actual output, they are not disclosed separately but rather included together in note 24a, as “revenues for sale of electricity;” separation of those components would not add any significant information to the users of the financial statements.

2)	Revenues from construction contracts - revenues from sale and construction of power plants
	The Group uses the “percentage-of-completion method” to determine the appropriate amount to be recognized in a given period.  The percentage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the date of the statement of financial position as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and costs related to the sale and construction contract are recognized as income or expenses, respectively, according to the percentage of completion at the end of the reporting period.  When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately. In the event of fixed price contract, the outcome can be reliably measured when all the following conditions are met: (a) total revenue from the contract can be reliably measured; (b) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group; (c) both costs to completion and the percentage of completion at the end of the reporting period can be reliably measured; and (d) costs attributable to the contract can be clearly identified and reliably measured, so as to facilitate comparison between actual costs and previous estimates. In the event of a cost plus margin contract, the outcome can be reliably measured when all the following conditions are met: (a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group; and (b) costs attributable to the contract, whether or not subject to specific compensation, can be clearly identified and reliably measured. Changes in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer and can be reliably measured. The Group presents as an asset (“receivables in respect of uncompleted contracts”) the gross amount due from customers for contract work for all contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses) exceed progress billings. The Group presents as a liability (“payables in respect of uncompleted contracts”) the gross amount due to customers for contract work for all contracts in progress for which progress billings exceed costs incurred plus recognized profits (less recognized losses).
3)	Contract revenues - revenues from sale and construction of power plants involving the granting of credit
	The Group has entered into a power plant construction contract which involves extension of credit for the financing of construction and sale of the power plant to the customer.  If the Group cannot collect the contractual consideration, it will become the owner of the power plant.
	In the event of uncertainty as to collection of the contractual consideration for such projects, the Group does not recognize revenues or costs in respect thereof based on the percentage of completion, but rather presents the costs incurred as assets (“receivables in respect of uncompleted contracts”) until the consideration is received.

	4)	Sale of products
		Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the significant risks and benefits of ownership have been transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery of the product, the Group does not retain effective control of the products or continuing managerial involvement therein to the degree associated with ownership, and the costs incurred or that will be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
	5)	Warranty provision
		With respect of products sold outside Israel, the Group usually provides a one year warranty from the date of installation.   The annual provision is calculated at the rate of 0.5% of the sales price and is charged to the statement of operations.
	6)	Revenue from engineering and operating services and from sale of spare parts
		Revenue from provision of services is recognized when the service is rendered or the spare parts are delivered.
	7)	Royalty income
		Royalty income is recognized on an accrual basis, according to the nature of the relevant agreement.
w.	Leases
	Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. With regard to arrangements containing lease elements, see v(1) above. The Group has land lease agreements with the Israel Land Administration. Prepaid lease fees are presented in the statement of financial position as “power plants and other fixed assets”, and amortized by the straight-line method over the lease period (disregarding the option to extend the lease period). Buildings erected on that land are classified as fixed assets.
x.	Dividend distribution
	Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s Board of directors.
y.	Earnings (loss) per share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year excluding treasury shares held by a subsidiary.

B - 27

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

	In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, the weighted average number of shares that will be issued, assuming all potentially dilutive convertible instruments are actually converted into shares, is added to the average of ordinary shares used for computing the basic earnings per share.  The potential shares are taken into account only when their effect is dilutive (i.e., reducing the earnings per share or increasing loss per share).
z.	New international financial reporting standards, standard amendments and interpretations:
	1)	New international financial reporting that came into effect and are binding for financial reporting periods commencing January 1, 2013:
		a)	IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements” (hereafter – IFRS 10)
			IFRS 10 replaces all the provisions of IAS 27 – “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (hereafter – IAS 27) and of SIC 12 - “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities” pertaining to control and consolidation of financial statements.  IFRS 10 has changed the definition of “control.” Under IFRS 10, the definition of control includes power over an investee and exposure or rights to variable returns of the investee.  Power means the ability to affect and direct the activities of the investee in such a way as to significantly affect the investor’s returns.  IFRS 10 also contains guidelines distinguishing between participating rights and protective rights, as well as guidelines for instances where an investor acts as principal or as an agent of another party or other parties.  The basic principle that a consolidated entity presents parent company and its subsidiaries as if they were a single entity, as well as the methods of consolidation, remains unchanged. The Group first applied IFRS 10 commencing January 1, 2013. Application of the IFRS 10 for the first time had no material effect on the Group’s financial statements.
		b)	IFRS 11 – “Joint Arrangements” (hereafter – IFRS 11)
			IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31, “Interests in Joint Ventures” (hereafter – IAS 31) and SIC 13, “Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers.”  IFRS 11 classifies joint arrangements into only two types: “joint operations” and “joint ventures,” the type “jointly controlled assets,” recognized under IAS 31, being merged into “joint operations”. The guidelines of IFRS 11 regarding the determination of the type of the joint arrangement focus on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement.  Under IFRS 11, a joint operation is a joint arrangement that gives parties to the arrangement (“joint operators”) direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities. A joint venture gives the parties (“joint venturers”) rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement.  IFRS 11 abolishes the policy choice of proportionate consolidation of jointly held entities, previously allowed by IAS 31. Instead, the joint venturers must account for the joint investments by the equity method. Joint operators, however, are allowed to apply an accounting treatment similar to that currently applicable under IAS 31 to “jointly controlled assets” and jointly controlled operations.” A joint operator will recognize its interest based on its involvement in the joint operation (that is, based on its direct rights in assets, obligations, revenues and expenditures) rather than on the participation interest it has in the joint arrangement.  Inter alia, IFRS 11 also provides guidelines for instances in which some parties to the joint arrangement have no joint control therein.

	The Group first applied IFRS 11 commencing January 1, 2013. Application of the IFRS 11 for the first time had no material effect on the Group’s financial statements.
c)	IFRS 12 – “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” (hereafter - IFRS 12)
	IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under IFRS 10 and IFRS 11; it also replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in IAS 28 and IAS 27.  The disclosure requirements under IFRS 12 pertain to the following issues: significant judgments and assumptions; interest in subsidiaries; interests in joint arrangements and associates; and interests in unconsolidated structured entities.
	The Group first applied IFRS 12 commencing January 1, 2013. Application of the IFRS 12 has extended the disclosures in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
d)	IFRS 13 – “Fair Value Measurement” (hereafter - IFRS 13)
	IFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs.
	The Group first applied IFRS 13 commencing January 1, 2013 on a prospective basis. IFRS 13 does not require the application of the disclosures stipulated thereby to comparative figures for periods preceding its application for the first time.  Application of the IFRS 11 for the first time had no material effect on measurement of items in the Group’s financial statements.
e)	Amendment to IAS 19 - “Employee Benefits” (hereafter - amendment to IAS19)
	The amendment to IAS 19 makes significant changes to the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits, and to the disclosures for all employee benefits discussed by IAS 19.  Following is a summary of the key changes:

-   The term “actuarial gains and losses” has been replaced by “remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset)” which, in addition to actuarial gains and losses include other components defined by the revised IAS 19.  Remeasurements are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income (hereafter - OCI).  Thus, the possibility of recognition of such gains and losses as part of income and loss statement and the use of the “corridor” approach has been eliminated.

B - 29

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

-	Past service costs are to be recognized in profit or loss immediately when a change in the plan occurs, rather than spread over the future-service period until it vests.
-	Employee benefit expenses in cases where plan assets exist will reflect net interest income/expense, based on the net defined benefit asset or liability, using the discount rates applicable under IAS 19 before the amendment for measuring defined benefit liability.  This accounting treatment replaces the “interest cost” and “expected return on plan assets” under IAS 19 before the amendment.
-	The distinction between short-term and long-term benefits for the purpose of measurement in the financial statements will be based on the time when payment is expected rather than when payment can be demanded.
-	Any benefit that has a future-service obligation is not a termination benefit.  A liability for termination benefits will be recognized when an offer of such benefits can no longer be withdrawn or when the related restructuring costs are recognized.
-	Disclosure requirements have been expanded in comparison to those stipulated by IAS 19 before the amendment.
The Group applied the revised IAS 19 for the first time commencing January 1, 2013, retrospectively for all the reported periods, except for:

	1)	An entity need not adjust the carrying amount of assets outside the scope of IAS 19 for changes in employee benefits costs that were included in the carrying amount before the date of initial application of the amendment.
	2)	Presentation of comparative information pertaining to certain disclosures with regard to the sensitivity analysis of the defined benefit obligation stipulated by the amendment to IAS 19 in the financial statements for periods commencing January 1, 2014, is not required.
	Application of the amendment to IAS 19 for the first time had no material effect on measurement of items in the Group’s financial statements, inter alia since the Group had already recognized the remeasurement in other comprehensive income.
f)	Amendment to IAS 1 - “Presentation of financial statements” (hereafter - amendment to IAS 1)
	This amendment changes the disclosure of items presented in OCI in the statement of comprehensive income. Following is a summary of the key provisions of the amendment:

-   The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI into two groups, based on whether or not they may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future.  Accordingly, items that will not be reclassified are to be presented separately from items that may be reclassified in the future.

B - 30

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

-	Entities that choose to present OCI items before tax are required to show the amount of tax related to the two groups separately.
-	The title used by IAS 1 for the statement of comprehensive income has changed to ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’. However, the amended IAS 1 still permits entities to use other titles.
The Group applied the revised IAS 1 for the first time commencing January 1, 2013, retrospectively for all the reported periods. Following the application of amendment to IAS 1 for the first time the Group presents each group of items in OCI in the statement of comprehensive income separately.

	g)	Amendment to IAS 16 - “Fixed assets” (hereafter - IAS 16)
		The Amendment to IAS 16, published in May 2012, clarifies section 8 of IAS 16 directives relating to classification of auxiliary equipment and spare parts as property plant and equipment or as inventories. According to the amendment, servicing equipment and spare part equipment qualify as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment in IAS 16; otherwise, they are classified as inventory. The Group first applied the revised IAS 16 commencing January 1, 2013.  Application of the revised IAS 16 for the first time had no material effect on measurement of items in the Group’s financial statements.
2)	Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group:
	a)	The additional phase of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”)
		In October 2010, guidelines pertaining to financial liabilities were published as a component of the first phase of IFRS 9. Those guidelines leave most guidelines of IAS 39 intact. The main change is with regard to entities which have financial liabilities carried at fair value though profit and loss that will now recognize the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than within profit or loss, unless such treatment would cause accounting imbalance.  Amounts so recognized will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.  However, they may be reclassified from one equity item to another. The second phase of IFRS 9, dealing with impairment in value of monetary assets, has not yet been published. The third phase of IFRS 9, which deals with hedging accounting, was published in November 2013.  The new hedging model differs in some aspects from that of IAS 39, and is designated to enable companies to better reflect their hedging policies, inter alia by adopting the effectiveness “bright line” of 80%-125% required by IAS 39 to an effectiveness range actually used in risk management, hedging of groups of financial instruments in a more flexible manner and, under certain circumstances, permitting hedge accounting for components of non-financial items, provided certain criteria can be satisfied.  Nevertheless, the stringent documentation requirements have been left intact, and certain disclosure requirements have been added.

			In November 2013, additional amendment to IFRS 9 was published, as follows: One change allows recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities deriving from the credit risks of an entity in the statement of comprehensive income, even without applying other provisions of IFRS 9. The said amendment cancelled the effective date of January 1, 2015, as previously required, and has not named another effective date.  The effective application date will only be determined when the other phases of IFRS 9 are completed.  However, early adoption of the phases already published is allowed. The Group has not applied the guidelines of IFRS 9, other than those pertaining to monetary assets.  At this stage, the Group is assessing the possible impact of applying IFRS 9 on the Group’s financial statements in the coming periods and of the timing of such application.
		b)	IFRIC 21 - Levies (“IFRIC 21”)
			IFRIC 21 determines the accounting treatment of the obligation to pay levies imposed by government in accordance with law, that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 and which are not taxes on income.  Under IFRIC 21,  an obligating event in respect of which such a liability should be recognized is the activity triggering the levy as identified by legislation.
aa.	Immaterial adjustment of comparative figures and reclassification
	An error in the financial statements of Ormat Technologies as of December 31, 2012 was identified in the course of preparation of the Group’s financial statements as of June 30, 2013. The error resulted from the calculation of a tax asset in respect of US Federal carryforward losses and credit, in an excess amount of approximately $ 7.1 million which was a direct result of the deferred tax effects of the non-cash asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Management assessed the materiality of this error in accordance with the position of the Staff of the Israeli Securities Authority as per “Update 99-4 Regarding Guidelines for Examination of Materiality of an Error in the Financial Statements” and concluded that the misstatement in the previously issued financial statements was not material as defined by IAS 8 – “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.” The assessment of the materiality of the error in accordance with the guidelines for such assessment showed that it was not material for all the periods to which it pertains taken as a whole. However, if the entire correction of the error was recorded in the current reported period, the impact would be significant to operating results for that period. Ormat Technologies and the Company have rectified the error by way of revision of comparative figures presented in these finacial sttements. Financial statement items affected by such revision are marked as “immaterial revision of comparative figures.” This revision had no impact on the Group’s revenues, loss before taxes and consolidated cash flows for the said period.

NOTE 3 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
	Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated, and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future.  The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.  The estimates and assumptions that involve a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and matters involving material judgment are discussed below:
	a.	Revenue recognition
		The Group uses the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for recognizing revenues generated from the sale and installation of power plants, taking into account that the plants are constructed for the customers, under terms negotiated therewith. The percentage-of-completion method requires estimates of actual costs of services provided as a proportion of the total costs of services to be provided.  Such cost estimates are made by management based on prior experience and the characteristics and engineering design of specific projects. Had the percentage of actual cost out of total cost to completion been 10% higher than management’s estimates, revenues recognized in 2013, 2012 and 2011 would have increased by approximately $12.2 million, $23.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively.  Had such percentage been 10% lower than management’s estimates, revenues recognized in 2013, 2012 and 2011 would have decreased by approximately $3.9 million, $20.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively.
	b.	Power plants and other property, plant and equipment
		The Group estimates the useful life and depreciation expense of the power plants it owns. Such estimates are made by management based on factors such as prior experience, engineering surveys, the terms of the underlying PPAs, geothermal resources that feed the plant, the location of the assets and specific power plant characteristics and designs.  Such estimates may change significantly as a result of changes in the above parameters.  Currently, the useful life of the Group’s power plants ranges between 25 and 30 years.  Should the useful life of an asset prove lower than prior estimates, management will either increase depreciation expense or recognize impairment.  In the event that an asset becomes technologically obsolete, or when non-strategic assets are abandoned or sold, the value of such assets is written off. Should the actual useful life of power plants be 10% higher than management’s estimates, the total carrying amount of power plants and other fixed assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 would increase by approximately $52.9 million and $50.5 million respectively.   Should the actual useful life of power plants 10% lower than management’s estimates, the total carrying amount of power plants and other fixed assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 would decrease by approximately $58.2 million and $55.6 million, respectively.

c.	Impairment of non-monetary assets
	Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).  Non-financial assets that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
	The significant assumptions that the Group uses in estimating the fair value of power plants are: (i) projected generating capacity of the power plant and rates to be received under the respective PPA; (ii) projected operating expenses of the relevant power plant; and (iii) the interest rate used to determine the discounted future cash flows.
	The North Brawley power plant
	As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the North Brawley power plant - approximately $23.7 million - was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8%.
	The following are the effects of different capitalization rates on identical generated output:

Capitalization rate (percent)	10%	9%	8%	7%	6%
Fair value, net of selling costs (millions of dollars)	20.7	22.1	23.7	25.5	27.7
Net effect on the loss on impairment of power plants’ value (millions of dollars)	3.0	1.6	—	(1.8)	(4.0)

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the North Brawley power plant - approximately $32 million - was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8%.

The following are the effects of different capitalization rates on identical generated output:

Capitalization rate (percent)	9%	8.5%	8%	7.5%	7%
Fair value, net of selling costs (millions of dollars)	28.9	30.2	32.0	33.1	34.7
Net effect on the loss on impairment of power plants’ value (millions of dollars)	3.1	1.8	—	(1.1)	(2.7)

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the North Brawley power plant - approximately $156.2 million - was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8% and on a generated output as detailed in note 12 and the probability of obtaining a new PPA with a new customer.

The following are the effects of different capitalization rates on identical generated output:

Capitalization rate (percent)	7%	7.5%	8%	8.5%	9%
Fair value, net of selling costs (millions of dollars)	167.6	161.7	156.2	151.0	146.2

The Jersey Valley power plant

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Jersey Valley power plant - approximately $31.3 million - was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8%.

Following are the effects of different capitalization rates on identical generated output:

Capitalization rate (percent)	9%	8.5%	8%	7.5%	7%
Fair value, net of selling costs (millions of dollars)	28.0	29.6	31.3	33.1	35.2
Effect on the loss on impairment of power plants’ value (millions of dollars)	3.3	1.7	—	(1.8)	(3.9)

The fair value of the Jersey Valley power plant as of December 31, 2013, has not been examined since there was no indication that the impairment loss recognized in 2012 did not exist anymore or was reduced.

The OREG 4 power plant

As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of the OREG 4 power plant - approximately $3.6 million - was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8%.

Since the value of OREG 4 power plant as of December 31, 2012 was only $3.6 million, a change in the capitalization rate would not materially affect the fair value of the plant; thus a sensitivity analysis was not presented.

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the OREG 4 power plant - approximately $7.2 million was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8%.

The following are the effects of different capitalization rates on identical generated output:

Capitalization rate (percent)	10%	9.0%	8.0%	7.0%	6.0%
Fair value, net of installation costs (millions of dollars)	5.8	6.4	7.2	8.1	9.1

The OREG 1 power plant

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of the OREG 1 power plant - approximately $26.1 million - was determined based on an after-tax capitalization rate of 8%.

Since the carrying value of the OREG 1 power plant is lower than its fair value, the carrying value has been changed to $24.6 million.

The following are the effects of different capitalization rates on identical generated output:

Capitalization rate (percent)	10%	9%	8%	7%	6%
Fair value, net of selling costs (millions of dollars)	22.9	24.4	26.1	28.5	31.3
Net effect on the loss on impairment of power plants’ value (millions of dollars)	3.2	1.7	—	*	*

	*Since the book value before loss on impairment amounted to $26.1 million, the discount rate which is lower than 8% has no effect.
d.	Income taxes and deferred taxes
	The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions; accordingly, significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes.  There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.  The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax liability is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, the difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which the final assessment is determined by the tax authorities.
	In addition, the Group recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their amount for tax purposes.  The Group continually assesses the recoverability of the deferred tax assets included in its accounts, based on historical taxable income, expected taxable income, expected timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the application of tax planning strategies.  If the Group is unable to produce sufficient future taxable income, or in case of material change in effective tax rates for the period during which the related temporary differences become taxable or deductible, the Group might be required to eliminate part of the deferred tax assets or to increase its deferred tax liabilities, which may increase its effective tax rate and negatively affect the results of its operations. With regard to the decrease in deferred tax assets in the year ended December 31, 2012, see note 14c.
	The Group does not recognize deferred taxes assets in respect of temporary differences resulting from investments in subsidiaries since the timing of reversal of such temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is not expected to occur in the foreseeable future.

Sale of investment in subsidiary

In May 2013, the Group sold the Momotombo Power Company (“OMPC”), which operates the Momotombo geothermal power plant located in Nicaragua, to a third party (hereafter – the buyer) for approximately $7.8 million,  approximately one year before the scheduled termination of the concession arrangement with the Nicaraguan owner.  In conjunction with the sale, the Group and the buyer have signed a technical support agreement for an undefined period, whereby the Group will provide technical consulting services, which can be terminated by either party. The Group is of the opinion that the expected continuing cash flows from this agreement are insignificant in comparison to those derived from the operation of the plant.  In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Group recognized a gain of $4.2 million in respect of the sale.

		As explained in note 2l, the Group has revenues derived from the sale of electricity from power plants at a variable price in California and Hawaii. The Group’s power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) for the Ormesa complex, the Mammoth complex and the Heber 1 and 2 power plants in California were fixed until May 1, 2012. Thereafter, the energy price component under these PPAs changed from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on Short Run Avoided Costs (“SRAC”) pricing of the off-taker. These PPAs are impacted by fluctuations in natural gas prices. In addition, the prices paid for electricity pursuant to the 25 MW PPA for the Puna complex in Hawaii are impacted by the price of oil and are calculated on a monthly basis and are exposed to material fluctuations during the year. Therefore, the group entered into swap contracts and put transactions in an attempt to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the prices of natural gas and oil until December 31, 2013, as follows:
		1)	Derivatives on oil prices
			On April 18, 2012, the Group entered into two oil swap contracts with a bank, each effective from May 1, 2012 until March 31, 2013, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the price of oil prices under the Group’s 25 MW PPA for the Puna complex, Hawaii, U.S. Under the terms of these contracts, the Group will make floating rate payments to the bank and receive fixed rate payments from the bank on each settlement date ($130.50 per BBL in respect of NYMEX Heating Oil and $115.50 per BBL in respect of ICE Brent). The swap contracts have monthly settlements whereby the difference between the fixed price and the monthly average market price will be settled on a cash basis.
			In addition, on September 27, 2012, the Group entered into European put transactions with two banks effective from January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2013.  The Group entered into these transactions in order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the energy rate caused by fluctuations in oil prices.  The Group paid up-front premiums in the total amount of approximately $2.6 million that were recorded as current assets -derivative financial instrument.  Under these transactions, the Group will receive from the banks on each settlement date the difference between the strike price of $126.63 per BBL in respect of NYMEX Heating Oil and $106.80 in respect of ICE Brent and the respective monthly average market price of the relevant commodity.  If the strike price is lower than the monthly average market price, no payment will be made.
			On October 16, 2013, the Group entered into a swap contract with a bank for a notional volume of 275,000 BBL effective from January 1, 2014 until December 31, 2014 to reduce the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the energy rate caused by fluctuations in oil prices under the 25 MW PPA for the Puna complex.  Under the terms of this contract, the Group will make payments linked to the oil price index to the bank and receive fixed rate payments $125.15 per BBL from the bank.  The swap contract has monthly settlements whereby the difference between the fixed price and the monthly average market price will be settled on a cash basis.
			As explained in note 2l, the derivative instruments have not been presented as hedges and are measured at their fair value as of the balance sheet date and all changes in fair value of these derivatives are recognized directly in the electricity revenues in the statements of operations.  As a result, a net gain (reduction in revenue) of ($2.0 million) and $0.8 million on these derivative contracts was recognized in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

2)	Derivatives on natural gas prices
	On May 24, 2012, the Group entered into a European put transaction with a bank for the period from July 1, 2012 until December 31, 2012.  The Group entered into this transaction in order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the energy rate caused by fluctuations in natural gas prices under the Group’s PPAs with Southern California Edison Company (SCE).  The Group paid up-front premium in the amount of approximately $1.6 million that was recorded as a derivative financial instrument under current assets.  Under the terms of the transaction, each month the Group received the difference between $3.08 and the NGI price per MMbtu at the first day of the month.  If the NGI price was higher than $3.08, no payment was made.
	In addition, on July 13, 2012, the Group entered into another European put transaction with the same bank for the period from August 1, 2012 until December 31, 2012 in order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the energy rate caused by fluctuations in natural gas prices.  The Group paid an up-front premium in the amount of approximately $0.2 million that was recorded as a derivative financial instrument under current assets.  Under the terms of the transaction, each month the Group received the difference between $3.19 and the NGI price per MMbtu at the first day of the month.  If the NGI price was higher than $3.19, no payment was made.
	In October 2012, the Group entered into NGI swap contracts with a bank for a period from January 1, 2013 until December 31, 2013, in order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the energy rate caused by fluctuations in natural gas prices.  Under the terms of these contracts, the Group makes floating rate payments to the bank and receives fixed rate payments from the bank on each settlement date.  The swap contracts have monthly settlements whereby the difference between the fixed price of $4.00 per MMbtu and the market price is settled on a cash basis.
	On September 3, 2013, the Group entered into a NGI swap contract with a bank for a notional volume of approximately 4.4 million MMbtus for settlement effective January 1, 2014 until December 31, 2014, in order to reduce its exposure to NGI. Under the terms of this contract, the Company will make floating rate payments to the bank and receive fixed rate payments from the bank on each settlement date.  The swap contract has monthly settlements whereby the difference between the fixed price of $4.035 per MMbtu and the market price on the first commodity business day on which the relevant commodity reference price is published in the relevant calculation period (January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2014) will be settled on a cash basis.
	On October 16, 2013, the Group entered into a NGI swap contract with a bank for a notional volume of approximately 4.2 million MMbtus for settlement effective January 1, 2014 until December 31, 2014, in order to reduce its exposure to NGI below $4.103 per MMbtu under its PPAs with Southern California Edison.  Under the terms of this contract, the Company will make floating rate payments to the bank and receive fixed rate payments from the bank on each settlement date.  The swap contract has monthly settlements whereby the difference between the fixed price of $4.103 per MMbtu and the market price on the first commodity business day on which the relevant commodity reference price is published in the relevant calculation period (January 1, 2014 to December 1, 2014) will be settled on a cash basis.

NOTE 11  –  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT:

Financial risk management

1) Financial risk factors

The Group’s operations give rise to exposure to financial risks: market risks (including foreign currency exchange rate risks, fair value and cash flow  risks relating to interest rates and price risks), credit risks and liquidity risks.  The Group’s risk management strategy focuses on the assumption that financial markets are unpredictable and on attempting to minimize possible adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Derivative financial instruments (“Derivatives”) are utilized by the Group to reduce those risks.

Risk management is carried out by the Group’s finance department under policies approved by the boards of directors of the Group companies. The Group’s finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The boards of directors of the Group companies provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risks, interest rate risks, credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

a. Market risks:

  1)      Exchange rate risks

The Group is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus the NIS. In order to manage the foreign currency risk, the Group enters into foreign currency Derivatives, mainly forward transaction and currency options, in order to protect the anticipated cash flows relating to salaries of employees of the Israeli subsidiary and trade payables denominated in Israeli currency for periods not exceeding one year. Derivatives are utilized by the Group only for economic hedging purposes.

As of December 31, 2013, had the Group’s operating currency strengthened by 10% against Israeli currency with all other variables remaining constant, profit before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 would have been approximately $2.5 million, $5.7 million and $2.1 million lower, respectively, as a result of the changes in the fair value of the forward transactions.

As of December 31, 2013, had the Group’s operating currency weakened by 10% against Israeli currency with all other variables remaining constant, profit before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 would have been approximately $3.1 million, $6.9 million and $2.4 million higher, respectively, as a result of the changes in the fair value of the forward transactions.

In the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the $-NIS exchange rate increased (declined) by approximately (7.02%), (2.30%) and 7.66%, respectively.

2)     Price risks

As explained in note 7, in 2013 the Group entered into swap contracts and put transactions in an attempt to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in energy prices under the PPAs affected by the fluctuations in the prices of  natural gas and oil.

B - 49

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

As of December 31, 2013, had the indexes that affect the transactions prices increased by 10%, the profit before taxes for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been approximately $7.0 million lower, and if had decreased by 10%, the profit before taxes for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been approximately $7.0 million higher.

3)     Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks

This risk exposure derives mainly from long-term loans.  Loans bearing variable interest expose the Group to cash flow risks, while those with fixed interest rates expose the Group to fair value risks.

Quoted market prices for similar instruments are used for determining the fair value of long-term debt.  Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for other financial instruments.

Details of the book and fair value of long-term loans with fixed interest not reflected in the financial statements at their fair value are given in the following table:

	Carrying amount				Fair Value

(1)   The fair value is based on prices quoted in an active market as of the date of the statement of financial position.

(2)   The fair value of these loans and bonds is based on computation of the present value of future cash flows, discounted at interest rates usually applicable to similar loans and/or debentures, or, where applicable - on market value.

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments included in its working capital (excluding those detailed in the table above) is usually identical, or close to, their carrying amount.

Had the interest rates on long-term credit lines bearing variable interest rates been 0.1% higher/lower, with all other variables remaining constant, after-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, would have been $135,000, $88,000 and $164,000, respectively, higher/lower.

b. Credit risks:

The main financial instruments involving credit risks to the Company are cash, deposits, investments in debentures and accounts receivable.

The Group places its cash investments, usually - in dollars - with high credit quality financial institutions in Israel, in the U.S. and in other foreign countries.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group had deposits in a total amount of approximately $13.8 million and $41.2 million, respectively in seven U.S. financial institutions that were insured for up to $250,000 per account.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group’s deposits in countries other than the U.S. of approximately $56.1 million, and $33.2 million, respectively, were not insured.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, accounts receivable from operations in countries outside of the U.S. were approximately $32.2 million and $17.6 million, respectively.  Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.  Historically, credit losses have been negligible. Consequently, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been made.

Most of the Group’s revenues are from electric utilities.

Sales of electricity to customers outside the U.S. accounted for 26.4, 24.9%, and 22.9%, of total electricity sales in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Revenues from the sale of electricity to three major customers accounted for approximately 43.4%, 42.0% and 50.8% of total consolidated revenues in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.  Accounts receivable from these customers represent approximately 29.8%, 32.4%, and 53.8% of consolidated accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Credit ratings of the major customers as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Customer	Rating by S&P	Rating by Moody’s
Southern California Edison Company	BBB+ (stable outlook)	A3 (stable outlook)
HELCO	BBB- (stable outlook)	Baa1(under review)
Sierra Pacific Power Company	BBB+ (stable outlook)	Baa2 (under review)
Nevada Power Company	BBB+ (stable outlook)	Baa2 (under review)
Southern California Power Public Authority	A-(negative outlook)	Aa3 (stable outlook)
Pacific Gas and Electric	BBB (negative outlook)	Aa3 (stable outlook)

No published credit rating for non-U.S. customers is available.

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

With regard to work for customers under a contract (the product segment) – as a rule, the Group demands advances as work progresses.  Therefore, management considers the credit risk involved to be negligible.

As the counterparties to the Group’s derivatives are Israeli, American and European  banks, the Group considers the inherent credit risks related to these transactions to be remote.

c.  Liquidity risks

The Group maintains sufficient level of cash and marketable securities in order to minimize the exposure to liquidity risks.

Management monitors forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserves (comprised of undrawn borrowing facilities, cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets) on the basis of expected cash flows.  This is generally carried out at a local level in the active companies of the Group in accordance with practice and limits set by the Group.  These limits vary from country to country, so as to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the entity operates. In addition, the Group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these and maintaining debt financing plans.

Interest and liquidity risk tables

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the date of the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date.  The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.  Balances due within twelve months equal their carrying amount as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Financial instruments measured as level 1

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the date of the statement of financial position.  A market is considered active when quoted prices are easily accessible and regularly updated by the stock exchange, brokers, industry bodies, pricing service providers or regulatory bodies, and those prices are determined based on actual transactions carried out regularly between unaffiliated entities.  The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the closing price as of the date of the statement of financial position.  Such instruments are included in level 1. The Groups’s level 1 instruments consist mainly of deposits, designated financial funds and corporate bonds.

Financial instruments measured as level 2

The fair value of instruments that are not listed on active markets (for example – derivatives traded over-the counter) is determined using various valuation techniques.  These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data when available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.  If all the significant inputs required for the determination of fair value are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.  If one or more of the inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

The fair value of foreign currency forward transactions is determined using the exchange rates specified in the relevant agreements as of the date of the statement of financial position, discounted to present value.

The fair value of natural gas and oil price derivatives is determined using the quoted prices thereof as of the date of the statement of financial position, discounted to present value.

Financial instruments measured as level 3

The Group’s level 3 instruments consist mainly of venture capital funds.

The following table summarizes the changes in instruments measured as level 3:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

The consortium has started preliminary testing and development activities at the site and signed an EPC and a drilling contract with an unrelated third party.  Construction is expected to begin after the consortium obtains financing, which is occurred in the first half of 2014.  The first phase is scheduled to commence operations in 2016, and the remaining two phases are scheduled to be completed in stages within 18 months thereafter.

In 2013, the Group made additional investment contributions of $4.6 million to the Sarulla project that were consistent with the consortium ownership structure. Additionally, the Company reclassed its Investment in Associates to Power Plant under Construction in the amount of $2,591 thousand (representing 0.1% of total assets) due to the start of the construction of the power plant.

Heber Solar

A subsidiary of Ormat Technologies is in final stages of the construction of the Heber solar photovoltaic technology power plant located in California, U.S.  Completion is anticipated in the first quarter of 2014.  In January 2014, the board of directors of Ormat Technology resolved to examine the possibility of selling this project.

5)         Cash grant

In 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies received $119.2 million in grants for its investment in the Jersey valley, Tuscarora and McGinness Hills power plants and for the expansion of Puna Complex under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”).  The grant is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the power plants, estimated at 30 years.

In 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies received $14.7 million in grants for its investment in the North Brawley power plant under ARRA.  That part of the grant which is attributable to costs in respect of which an impairment loss has been recognized has been offset from such impairment loss, while the remainder thereof is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the power plant, estimated at 27 years.

In March 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies received $21.8 million in grants for its investment in the Don A. Campbell power plants under ARRA.  The grant is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the power plants, estimated at 30 years.

6)         Loss on impairment of power plants - net:

As explained in note 2h, power plants are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Thereafter, at the end of each reporting period, the Group estimates whether there is any indication that the previously recognized impairment loss does not exist or has diminished.  Should such an indication exist, the Group reexamines the recoverable amount of the said power plants.

The fair value of the following plants was assessed by qualified external valuers using the discounted cash flow model.  For details on the principal assumptions used by the Group in value estimates, see note 3c.  Those assumptions are based on the Group’s experience in construction and operation of geothermal power plants; the Group also uses methods based on unobservable inputs (level 3).

North Brawley power plant

The geothermal North Brawley power plant is located in California, U.S.  In 2010, an impairment test was performed for the first time because of the lower than projected electricity output generated by the plant.  As a result, the Group recognized an impairment loss.

The actions carried out at the power plant in 2011 failed to achieve a break-even point in operating results by the end of 2011 and an additional impairment test was performed.  As of December 31, 2011, the excess of the carrying amount of that plant over its recoverable amount was approximately $11.4 million.  As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2011, the Group recognized an impairment loss of approximately $11.4 million, presented in its consolidated statement of operations under “reduction of impairment (impairment) of power plants -net”.

The recoverable amount was calculated as fair value less costs to sell.

The projected cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 were calculated based on the probability of attaining electricity generation as follows:

Electricity generation (MW)	Probability (%)
37	50.0
40	25.0
45	12.5
50	12.5

In a letter dated January 14, 2013, SCE informed the Group that it is no longer interested in pursuing alternatives to the current power purchase agreement, thus retracting its written permission to the company to explore a replacement power purchase agreement with higher electricity prices.

As a result of SCE’s notification, the resulting continuation of the current low price regime under the existing power purchase agreement, coupled with a further understanding of the cost and probability of success of additional well-field work which has been accumulated in the recent months, the Group concluded that it would not be economically worthwhile to continue to invest the substantial capital required to increase the generating capacity of the North Brawley plant. Accordingly, the Group has decided to operate the plant at the current capacity level of approximately 27 MW and refrain from additional capital investment to expand the capacity.

As a result of the above, an additional impairment test was performed. As of December 31, 2012, the excess of the carrying amount of that plant over its recoverable amount was approximately $128.4 million.  As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2012, the Group recognized an impairment loss of approximately $128.4 million, presented in its consolidated statement of operations under “impairment of power plants -net”.

The recoverable amount was calculated as fair value less costs to sell.

The after-tax discount rate the Group applied to capitalization of projected cash flows from the power plant is 8%.

As of September 30, 2013, the actions carried out at the power plant in 2013 failed to bring the plant to its projected output.  In July 2013, the Group received $14.7 million in grants for its investment in the North Brawley power plant under ARRA.  In view of these developments, the Group reexamined the value of this plant as of September 30, 2013.

The recoverable amount of the plant as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $23.7 million.  As a result, the Group recognized an impairment loss.  A portion of the amount of the grant, in the amount attributable to the impairment loss recognized in previous years, was offset from the impairment loss in the line item “reduction of impairment (impairment) of power plants -net” in the consolidated statement of operations.

The after-tax discount rate the Group applied to capitalization of projected cash flows from the power plant is 8%.

The recoverable amount was calculated as fair value less costs to sell.

The following unobservable inputs were taken into account in measurement of the fair value:

Parameters	Inputs used in measurement
Output	26.8 MW-27 MW
Range of average prices	$84.3-$111.25
Operating expense range	$13.1 million-$20.5 million

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the power plant, after recognition of the impairment in value, is approximately $23.7 million and $32.0 million, respectively.

Jersey valley power plant

The geothermal Jersey valley power plant, located in Nevada, U.S. is still in the development stage. As of December 31, 2012, an impairment test was performed because of the lower than projected electricity output resulted from injection of the geothermal fluid problems.  As of December 31, 2013, the excess of the carrying amount of the power plant over its recoverable amount was approximately $41.0 million.  As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2012, the Group recognized an impairment loss of approximately $41.0 million, presented in its consolidated statement of operations under “reduction of impairment (impairment) of power plants -net”.

The projected cash flows of the power plant for the year ended December 31, 2012, were calculated based on the probability of attaining electricity generation as follows:

Electricity generation (MW)	Probability (%)
10	70.0
12	30.0

Recoverable amount was calculated as fair value less costs to sell.

The after-tax discount rate the Group applied to capitalization of anticipated cash flows from the power plant is 8%.

As of December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the power plant after recognition of the impairment in value was $31.3 million.

As of December 31, 2013, the value of the power plant was not examined, as there was no indication that the impairment loss recognized in 2012 did not exist or was diminished.

OREG 4 power plant

The OREG 4 power plant generates electricity using recovered energy and is located in Colorado, U.S.  Impairment tests were performed because of the plant’s lower than projected revenues due to the decrease in the generating output of the OREG 4 power plant.  Such decrease resulted from lower than expected heat availability due to operation of the compressor stations at a lower than expected load.  As of December 31, 2011 the Group tested the carrying amount of the power plant.  As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2011, the Group cancelled a part of the provision for impairment recognized in the year ended December 31, 2011 and recognized income of approximately $0.3 million which is presented in its consolidated statement of operations under “reduction of impairment (impairment) of power plants-net”.

As of September 30, 2012, the Group retested the carrying amount of the power plant because of the plant’s lower than projected revenues due to the decrease in the generating output of the OREG 4 power plant.  The Group estimated that the operation of the compressor stations at a lower than expected load will continue in the future.  As of September 30, 2012 the excess of the recoverable amount of the power plant over its carrying amount was approximately $2.4 million. As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2012, the Group recognized an impairment loss of approximately $2.4 which is presented in its consolidated statement of operations under “reduction of impairment (impairment) of power plants-net”.

Recoverable amount was calculated as fair value less costs to sell.

The after tax discount rate the Group applied to capitalization of projected cash flows from the power plant is  8%.

As of December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of the power plant, after recognition of the impairment in value, is approximately $3.6 million.

OREG 1 power plant

The OREG 1 power plant generates electricity using recovered energy and is located in North Dakota, U.S.  In 2009, impairment tests were performed because of the plant’s gross loss resulting from lower than projected revenues, and impairment loss was recognized. In 2010, following an increase in the actual generating output of the power plant and in the forecasted cash flows, the Group tested the carrying amount of the power plant and as a result cancelled a part the impairment loss previously recognized.

As of December 31, 2011, following another increase in the actual generating output of the power plant and in the forecasted cash flows, the Group tested the carrying amount of the power plant.  As a result, in the year ended December 31, 2011, the Group recognized income of approximately $5,586,000, which is presented in its consolidated statement of operations under “reduction of impairment (impairment) of power plants-net”.

Recoverable amount is calculated as fair value less costs to sell.

The after-tax discount rate the Group applied to capitalization of anticipated cash flows from the power plant is 8%.

7)         Capitalized lease fees to the Israel Land Administration (the “Administration”)

Under lease agreements with the Administration reached in 1969-2007, the Group has rights to land leased in Yavne (where the Company’s production facilities are located) for terms of between 46 and 49 years, expiring in 2018-2056. The Group has paid capitalized lease fees in the amount of $3,825,000 in respect of these leases.  The said agreements grant a renewal option for an additional period. The capitalized lease fees do not extend to the additional period, as at the time of signing the agreement it was not clear whether the lessee would exercise that option. In accordance with IAS17, this lease is considered a financing lease. Accordingly, the pre- paid lease fees paid to the Administration upon the execution of the agreement (capitalized lease) represent cost of the land and are presented under “fixed assets.”  These lease fees are amortized by the straight-line method over the lease period. See also note 2w.

NOTE 14  –  TAXES ON INCOME:

a. Corporate taxation in Israel:

1)   Commencing in 2008, the operating results of the Company and its Israeli subsidiaries for tax purposes are measured in nominal values.  Through tax year 2007 the results for tax purposes were measured in real terms, having regard to the changes in the Israeli CPI, under the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985 (the “Inflationary Adjustments Law”).

2)   Tax rates

The income of the Company and its Israeli subsidiaries (other than income from “benefited enterprises” and “preferred enterprises”, see (3) below) is taxed at the regular rates, as follows: 2011 - 24%; 2012 – 25%; 2013 and thereafter – 26.5%. The changes in the tax rate did not change materially the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

3)   Encouragement Laws in Israel:

a) Tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Investment Law”)

Ormat Systems Ltd. an Israeli subsidiary (“Ormat Systems”) has been granted “benefited enterprise” status in respect of two expansion projects under the Investment Law.  The benefit period in respect of the first expansion commenced in 2004, and in respect of the second - in 2007.

In an amendment to the Investment Law approved in December 2010 (the “Amendment”), which is effective commencing January 1, 2011 new benefit schemes were introduced instead of those in force prior to that amendment: a grant scheme for enterprises located in Development Zone A and two new tax benefit schemes - “preferred enterprise” and “special preferred enterprise” – whereunder all the preferred income of a company, as defined in that amendment, is subject to a uniform tax rate.  Ormat Systems has elected benefits under the Amendment commencing in tax year 2011 and enjoy the benefits available to “preferred enterprise.”

The main tax benefits available to Ormat Systems are:

  (1)     Reduced tax rates

Under the Amendment, the tax rate applicable to Ormat Systems’ income is as follows: 15% in 2011-2012, 12.5% in 2013-2014, and 12% in 2015 and thereafter.

The Law for the Change of National Order of Preference (Legislation Amendments for the Achievement of the Goals of the 2013 and 2014 Budget), published in August 2013, stipulates, inter alia, the increase in tax rate applicable to “preferred enterprises” to 16%, which is applicable to Ormat Systems in 2014 and thereafter.  As a result, the deferred tax assets of the Group increased by $225,000.  That amount is reported as income in the statement of operations.

B - 69

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Those benefits are not limited in time and will be given to companies which meet the conditions stipulated by the Amendment, which are similar to those stipulated by the previous legislation.

As stated above, through 2010 Ormat Systems enjoyed tax benefits under the Investment Law before the amendment.  Those benefits included tax exemption and reduced tax rate on income from approved and benefited enterprises.

In the event of the distribution of cash dividends (including upon liquidation) out of income that was tax-exempt as above, Ormat Systems would have to pay the 25% tax in respect of the amount distributed.

  (2)     Accelerated depreciation

Ormat Systems is entitled to claim accelerated depreciation as provided by the Investment Law, commencing in the first year of operation of each asset, in respect of buildings, machinery and equipment used by the benefited enterprise.

  (3)     Conditions for entitlement to the benefits

The entitlement to the above benefits is conditional upon fulfillment of the conditions stipulated by the Investment Law and regulations published thereunder.  In the event of failure to comply with these conditions, the benefits may be cancelled and Ormat Systems may be required to refund the amount of the benefits, in whole or in part, with the addition of interest.

b) The Law for the Encouragement of Industry (Taxes), 1969:

Ormat Systems is an “industrial company” as defined by this law.  As such, it is entitled to claim depreciation at increased rates for equipment used in industrial activity, as stipulated by regulations published under the Investment Law, and has done so.

  b.    Subsidiaries outside Israel

Subsidiaries incorporated outside of Israel are assessed for tax under the tax laws in their countries of residence.  The principal tax rates applicable to the major subsidiaries outside Israel are as follows:

Companies incorporated in the U.S. – average tax rate of 38% (federal tax of 35% with the addition of state taxes in the states where to Group operates).

Company incorporated in Kenya –37.5%.

Company incorporated in Nicaragua, the investment in which was realized in 2013, as stated in note 4 –25%.

Company incorporated in New Zealand – 28%.

Companies incorporated in Guatemala – tax exempt due to tax credit for production of electricity from geothermal sources.

The subsidiaries incorporated in the United States file consolidated tax returns.

The U.S. federal government encourages production of electricity from geothermal resources through certain tax benefits. Under a recently revised law, the U.S. subsidiaries are permitted to claim tax credits in their consolidated federal tax returns under one of the following alternatives:

●      “Investment tax credit” for approximately 30% of the cost of each new geothermal power plant when the qualifying facility placed in service until January 1, 2014, and 10% for plants placed in service thereafter, or -

●      “Production tax credit”, for a period of ten years on the electricity output of new geothermal power plants put into service by December 31, 2013.  In 2013, the production tax credit was 2.3 cents per kWh; the credit amount is adjusted annually for U.S. inflation.  Any unused tax credit has a 1-year carry back and a 20-year carry forward.  The U.S. tax laws permits the U.S. subsidiaries to depreciate most of their plants for tax purposes over five years on an accelerated basis.  If those subsidiaries claim the investment tax credit, their “tax base” for depreciation purposes is reduced by half of the tax credit.  Furthermore, companies that placed qualifying renewable energy facilities in service in 2009, 2010 or 2011, or that began construction of qualifying renewable energy facilities during 2009, 2010 or 2011, and placed them in service by December 31, 2013, may choose to apply for a cash grant from the U.S. Department of Treasury in an amount equal to the above “investment tax credit”.   In such a case, their “tax base” for depreciation purposes is reduced by half of the grant amount.

  c.    Deferred income taxes:

    1)   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax jurisdiction.

(1)   Deferred taxes in respect of actuarial gains (losses) carried to other comprehensive income.

(2)   Includes deferred taxes respect of cash flow hedges and remeasurement of the net liability for retirement benefits carried to other comprehensive income.

3)  Losses for tax purposes, investment tax credit and production tax credit carried forward to future years

Utilization of carryforward tax losses and credits is contingent upon earning taxable income in a sufficient amount in the appropriate jurisdiction, before the period in which they can be utilized expires.  The scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies were considered in determining the amount of deferred taxes.

Federal carryforward losses in the United States as of December 31, 2013 aggregated $235.4 million, and the state carryforward losses as of that date aggregated $218.1 million.  The federal carryforward losses expire in 2021-2032, and the state carryforward losses expire in 2014-2032.  The unutilized balance of investment tax credit as of December 31, 2013 is approximately $0.7 million; this balance expires at the end of a 20-year period, in 2022 and 2024; the unutilized balance of production tax credit as of December 31, 2013 is approximately $71.3 million, expiring at the end of 20 years, between 2026 and 2032.

On December 31, 2013 and 2012, in view of recurring losses, Ormat Technologies reexamined the likelihood of utilization of deferred tax assets it previously recorded.  Since it concluded that, at this point in time, it was more likely than not, that part of the deferred tax assets would not be utilized, Ormat Technologies recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $114.8 million and $113.6 million, respectively, against its U.S. deferred tax assets in respect of net operating loss carryforwards and unutilized tax credits (PTCs and ITCs).  That amount was carried to the income tax item in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  If sufficient evidence of Ormat Technologies’ ability to generate taxable income is established in the future, it may be able to reduce this valuation allowance, resulting in income tax benefits in the consolidated statement of operations.

Israeli carryforward capital losses as of December 31, 2013 aggregated $6.9 million.  The Group has not recognized deferred taxes in respect of such losses, since the utilization thereof in the foreseeable future is not anticipated.

4)   As of December 31, 2013, the temporary differences on Group’s investments in investees, which mainly arise from undistributed profits amount to approximately $264 million.  The Group has not recognized a deferred tax liability in respect of such differences, since the utilization thereof in the foreseeable future is not anticipated.

5)  Deferred taxes have been computed at the tax rates expected to apply when such deferred taxes are utilized.

Under an Amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 174 - Temporary Provision for Tax Years 2007, 2008 and 2009), 2010, enacted by the Knesset on January 25, 2010, and published in the Official Gazette on February 4, 2010, and the Amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No. 188), 2012, enacted by the Knesset on January 9, 2012, and published in the Official Gazette on January 12, 2012 (collectively, “the temporary provision”), Standard 29 of the Israeli Accounting Standards Board is not taken into account in determining taxable income for the tax years 2007-2011, even if it was applied in the financial statements for those tax years.

A draft proposal of a Law for the Amendment of the Income Tax Ordinance (hereafter – the draft amendment) was published on October 31, 2011.  The proposed amendment endorses the IFRS and offers amendments designated to clarify and determine the manner of computing taxable income where there are ambiguities or where IFRS does not comply with the Israeli tax system.  The proposed legislation as described above has not been completed and it is doubtful that it will be completed in the near future.

On January 1, 2013, the Israeli Tax Authority published a pronouncement extending the power of the said temporary provision for tax year 2012 (hereafter – “the pronouncement”).  The pronouncement mentions that the Tax Authority intends to promote legislation extending the temporary provision to tax year 2012 as well immediately upon the inauguration of the new Knesset.  In practice, such legislation did not take place.

Taking into consideration that the legislation of the draft amendment has not been completed and the pronouncement, management assumes that the temporary provision enacted for tax years 2007-2011 will be extended for tax years 2012 and 2013.  In view of the foregoing, management estimates that the new legislation will not apply to tax years prior to 2014.

Taking into account the temporary provision, the Group computed its taxable income for the tax years 2013, 2012 and 2011 based on Israeli accounting standards in effect prior to adoption of IFRS in Israel, subject to certain adjustments; therefore, the Amendment has had no effect on the computation of current and deferred taxes in the financial statements.

2)   Additional information:

(a)  Liabilities for financing projects:

(1)  Loan from TCW Global Project Fund II, Ltd. (“TCW”)

In May 2009, Ortitlan  - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies - concluded loan agreements in the amount of $ 42.0 million for the refinancing of some of the Group’s investments in the Amatitlan power plant in Guatemala.  The financing is project-based and was extended to the Group by TCW.  The loan is repayable in 28 equal quarterly payments starting on September 15, 2009 and ending on June 15, 2016.  The loan bears annual interest at the rate of 9.83%.

There are various restrictive covenants under the Amatitlan Loan, including the requirement to comply with the following financial ratios for each calculation period: (a) a projected cumulative DSCR of not less than 1.2 over four consecutive quarters; (b) a long-term debt to equity ratio not to exceed 4.0 and (c) limitations on Ortitlan’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders. If Ortitlan fails to comply with these financial ratios it will be precluded from making distributions to its shareholders. As of December 31, 2013, (a) the actual projected DSCR was 1.61 and (b) the debt to equity ratio was 2.21.

As required under the terms of the loan, Ortitlan is to maintain a limited deposit in cash or backed by a bank guarantee, in an amount covering payment of principal and interest for the next three months. This restricted cash account is classified as current in the consolidated statement of financial position. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of such account was approximately $1.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.  In addition, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, part of the required debt service reserve was backed by a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $3.1 million for both years; see Note 20.

(2)  Loan from Overseas Private Investment Corporation (“OPIC”)

In November, 2012, OrPower 4 - a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies, completed a finance agreement with OPIC, an agency of the United States government, to provide debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of up to $310 million (the “OPIC Loan”) for the refinancing and financing of the Olkaria III geothermal power complex in Kenya.

The OPIC loan is comprised of three tranches:

● Tranche I, in an aggregate principal amount of $85 million, which was drawn on November 9, 2012, was used to prepay approximately $20.5 million (plus associated prepayment penalty and breakage costs of $1.5 million) of the DEG Loan, as described below.  The remainder of Tranche I proceeds was used for reimbursement of prior capital costs and other corporate purposes.

● Tranche II, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $180 million, was used to fund the construction and well field drilling for the expansion of the Olkaria III geothermal power complex to up to 84 MW (“Plant 2”). On November 9, 2012, an amount of $135 million was disbursed under this Tranche II, and in February 2013, the remaining $45 million was disbursed under this Tranche II .

B - 78

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

● Tranche III is a stand-by tranche in an aggregate principal amount of up to $45 million, was disbursed in November 2013 and was applied to a further expansion of the Olkaria III complex of up to an additional 16 MW (“Plant 3”).

In July 2013 the Group completed the conversion of the interest rate applicable to both Tranche I and Tranche II from a floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate.  The average fixed interest rate for Tranche I, which has an outstanding balance of approximately $81.4 million and matures in December 2030, and Tranche II, which has an outstanding balance of $177.4 million and matures in June 2030, is 6.31%.  In November 2013 OrPower 4 fixed the interest rate applicable to Tranche III.  The fixed interest rate for Tranche III, which has an outstanding balance of $45.0 million and matures in December 2030, is 6.12%.

The loan (principal and interest) is payable quarterly on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing with the first such date following the respective disbursement of a Tranche.

OrPower 4 has a right to make voluntary prepayments of all or a portion of the OPIC Loan subject to prior notice, minimum prepayment amounts, and a prepayment premium of 2% in the first two years after the Plant 2 commercial operation date, declining to 1% in the third year after the Plant 2 commercial operation date, and without premium thereafter, plus a redemption premium. In addition, the OPIC Loan is subject to customary mandatory prepayment in the event of certain reductions in generation capacity of the power plants, unless such reductions will not cause the projected ratio of cash flow to debt service to fall below 1.7.

The OPIC Loan is secured by substantially all of OrPower 4’s assets and by a pledge of all of the equity interests in OrPower 4.

The Finance Agreement includes customary events of default, including failure to pay any principal, interest or other amounts when due, failure to comply with covenants, breach of representations and warranties, non-payment or acceleration of other debt of OrPower 4, bankruptcy of OrPower 4 or certain of its affiliates, judgments rendered against OrPower 4, expropriation, change of control, and revocation or early termination of security documents or certain project-related agreements, subject to various exceptions and notice, cure and grace periods.

The repayment of the remaining outstanding DEG Loan (see below) in the amount of approximately $39.5 million as of December 31, 2013 has been subordinated to the OPIC Loan.

There are various financial covenants under the OPIC Loan, which include a required historical and projected 12-month DSCR of not less than 1.4 (measured as of March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year).  If OrPower 4 fails to comply with these financial ratios it will be prohibited from making distributions to its shareholders.  In addition, if the DSCR falls below 1.1, subject to certain cure rights, such failure will constitute an event of default by OrPower 4.

b)   Project financing - senior secured notes:

(1)  Ormat Funding Corp. (“OFC”) Senior Secured Notes

In February 2004, a U.S. subsidiary, of Ormat Technologies, OFC, completed the issuance of $190 million senior secured notes (“OFC Senior Secured Notes”), and received net cash proceeds of approximately $179.7 million, after deduction of issuance costs of approximately $10.3 million.  The OFC Senior Secured Notes bear annual interest of 8.25% and have a final maturity of December 30, 2020. Principal and interest on the OFC Senior Secured Notes are payable in semi-annual payments that commenced on June 30, 2004.  The OFC Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of OFC and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of OFC.  There are various restrictive covenants under the OFC Senior Secured Notes, which include limitations on additional indebtedness of OFC and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Failure to comply with these and other covenants will, subject to customary cure rights, constitute an event of default by OFC.

In addition, there are restrictions on the ability of OFC to make distributions to its shareholders, which include a required historical and projected 12-month DSCR of not less than 1.25 (measured semi-annually as of June 30 and December 31 of each year).  If OFC fails to comply with the DSCR ratio it will be prohibited from making distributions to its shareholders. The Company believes that the transition to variable energy prices under the Ormesa and Mammoth PPAs and the impact of the currently low natural gas prices on the revenues under these PPAs may cause OFC to not meet the DSCR ratio requirements for making distributions, but it does not believe that there will be an event of default by OFC.  As of December 31, 2013 (the last measurement date of the covenants), the actual historical 12-month DSCR was 1.29.

In February 2013, the Group acquired from OFC note holders OFC Senior Secured Notes with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $12.8 million and recognized a gain of $0.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2013.

In January 2014, the Group acquired from OFC note holders OFC Senior Secured Notes with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of $13.2 million and will recognize a gain of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2013.

OFC may redeem the OFC Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at redemption price equal to the principal amount of the OFC Senior Secured Notes to be redeemed plus accrued interest, premium and liquidated damages, if any, plus a “make-whole” premium.  Upon certain events, as defined in the indenture governing the OFC Senior Secured Notes, OFC may be required to redeem a portion of the OFC Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price ranging from 100% to 101% of the principal amount of the OFC Senior Secured Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest, premium and liquidated damages, if any.

(3)  OFC 2 LLC Senior Secured Notes (“OFC 2”)

In September 2011, OFC 2, a subsidiary of Ormat Technologies in the United States, and its wholly owned project subsidiaries (collectively, the Issuers) entered into 20-year financing agreements in an amount of $350 million with OFC 2, to be made available as project financing credit by the American insurance company, John Hancock.

Subject to the fulfillment of customary and other specified conditions precedent, the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes (hereafter – “the Notes”) may be issued in up to six distinct series associated with the phased construction (Phase I and Phase II) of the Jersey Valley, McGinness Hills and Tuscarora geothermal power facilities owned by the Issuers. The OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes will mature and the principal amount of the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes will be payable in equal quarterly installments in accordance with an amortization schedule attached to such Notes and in any event not later than December 31, 2034. Each Series of Notes will bear interest at a rate calculated based on a spread over the Treasury yield curve that will be set at least ten business days prior to the issuance of such Series of Notes. Interest will be payable at the end of each quarter. The DOE will guarantee payment of 80% of principal and interest on the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes (the DOE Guarantee) pursuant to Section 1705 of Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended.  The conditions precedent to the issuance of the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes include certain specified conditions required by the DOE in connection with the DOE Guarantee.

On October 31, 2011 the Issuers completed the sale of $151.7 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.687% Series A Notes.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Series A Notes, after deducting transaction fees and expenses, were approximately $141.1 million, and were used to finance a portion of the construction costs of Phase I of the McGinness Hills and Tuscarora facilities and to fund certain reserves.  Principal and interest on the Series A Notes are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year.

Issuance of the Series B Notes is dependent on the Jersey Valley power plant reaching certain operational targets in addition to the other conditions precedent noted above.  If issued, the aggregate principal of the Series B Notes will not exceed $28.0 million, and such proceeds would be used to finance a portion of the construction costs of Phase I of the Jersey Valley power plant.

The Issuers have sole discretion regarding whether to commence construction of Phase II of any of the Jersey Valley, McGinness Hills and Tuscarora facilities. If Phase II construction is undertaken for any of the facilities, the Issuers may issue up to four tranches of Notes, in respect of each stage of any of the said projects. The aggregate principal amount of all Phase II Notes may not exceed $170.0 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

The OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of OFC 2 and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of OFC 2.

There are various financial covenants placed under the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes, which include limitations on additional indebtedness of OFC 2 and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Failure to comply with these covenants shall constitute, subject to certain circumstances, an event of default by OFC 2.  In addition, there are restrictions on the ability of OFC 2 to make distributions to its shareholders.  Among other things, the distribution restrictions include a quarterly DSCR requirement of at least 1.2 (on a blended basis for all of the OFC 2 power plants) and 1.5 on a pro forma basis.  As of December 31, 2013, the actual DSCR for the fourth quarter of 2013 was 1.79 and the pro-forma 12-month DSCR was 2.25.

In addition, in connection with the issuance of each Series of OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes, Ormat Technologies will provide a guarantee in connection with the issuance of each other Series of OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes, which will be available to be drawn upon if certain trigger events occur.  One trigger event is the failure of any facility financed by the relevant Series of OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes to reach completion and meet certain operational performance levels (the non-performance trigger) which gives rise to a prepayment obligation on the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes.  The other trigger event is a payment default on the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes or the occurrence of certain fundamental defaults that result in the acceleration of the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes, in each case that occurs prior to the date that the relevant facility financed by such OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes reaches completion and meets certain operational performance levels.  A demand on Ormat Technologies’ guarantee based on the non-performance trigger is limited to an amount equal to the prepayment amount on the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes necessary to bring the OFC 2 Issuers into compliance with certain coverage ratios.  A demand on the Ormat Technologies’ guarantee based on the other trigger event is not limited.

Debt service reserve; other restricted funds

Under the terms of the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes, OFC 2 is required to maintain a debt service reserve and certain other reserves, as follows:

 (a) A debt service reserve account which may be funded by cash or backed by letters of credit (see below) in an amount sufficient to pay scheduled debt service amounts, including principal and interest, due under the terms of the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes in the following six months.  This restricted cash account is classified as current assets in the consolidated statement of financial position.  As of December 31, 2013, part of the required debt service reserve was backed by a letter of credit in the amount of $10.4 million, see Note 20.

 (b) A performance level reserve account, intended to provide additional security for the OFC 2 Senior Secured Notes, which may be funded by cash or backed by letters of credit.  This reserve builds up over time and reduces gradually each time the project achieves certain milestones.  Upon issuance of the Series A Notes, this reserve was funded in the amount of $28 million.  As of December 31, 2013, the balance of such account was $45.7 million, and in addition OFC 2 funded $10 million in a letter of credit issued that is required to be maintained at all times until this reserve reduces to zero.

(6)   Credit agreement with Union Bank

In February 2012, Ormat Nevada entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Union Bank (the “new agreement”) to increase the available credit to $50.0 million and extend the termination date to February 7, 2014 (which was subsequently extended to March 31, 2014).  The facility is limited to the issuance of letters of credit.  Union Bank is currently the sole lender and issuing bank under the credit agreement, but is also designated as an administrative agent on behalf of other banks that may, from time to time in the future, join the credit agreement as parties thereto.  In connection with this transaction, Ormat Technologies has entered into a guarantee in favor of the administrative agent for the benefit of the banks, pursuant to which Ormat Technologies agreed to guarantee Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement.  Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement are otherwise unsecured by any of its (or of its subsidiaries) assets.

Various financial covenants were placed on Ormat Nevada under the new credit agreement, which include a requirement to comply with the following financial ratios, which are measured quarterly: (a) 12-month debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 4.5; (b) 12-month DSCR of not less than 1.35; and (iii) a distribution leverage ratio not to exceed 2.

As of December 31, 2013: (i) the actual 12-month debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.58; (ii) the 12-month DSCR was 2.47; and (iii) the distribution leverage ratio was 1.34.  In addition, there are restrictions on dividend distributions in the event of a payment default or noncompliance with such ratios, and subject to specified carve-outs and exceptions, a negative pledge on the assets of Ormat Nevada in favor of Union Bank.

As of December 31, 2013, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $45.6 million remain issued and outstanding under this credit agreement with Union Bank.

(7)   Credit agreement with HSBC

In May 2013, Ormat Nevada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies, entered into a credit agreement with HSBC for one year with annual renewals.  The aggregate amount available under the credit agreement is $25.0 million.  This credit line is limited to the issuance, extension, modification or amendment of letters of credit and $10.0 million out of this credit line for working capital needs.  HSBC is currently the sole lender and issuing bank under the credit agreement, but is also designated as an administrative agent on behalf of banks that may, from time to time in the future, join the credit agreement as parties thereto.  In connection with this transaction, Ormat Technologies entered into a guarantee pursuant to which it agreed to guarantee Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement.  Ormat Nevada’s obligations under the credit agreement are otherwise unsecured.

There are various restrictive covenants under the credit agreement, including a requirement to comply with the following financial ratios, which are measured quarterly: (i) a 12-month debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 4.5; (ii) 12-month DSCR of not less than 1.35; and (iii) distribution leverage ratio not to exceed 2.0.

As of December 31, 2013, letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $20.8 million remain issued and outstanding under this credit agreement.

(8)   The credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument governing the bonds, described above, are unsecured; however, Ormat Technologies is subject to a negative pledge in favor of the banks and the other lenders and certain other restrictive covenants.  These include, among other things, a prohibition on: (a) creating any floating charge or any permanent pledge, charge or lien over Ormat Technologies’ assets without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; (b) guaranteeing the liabilities of any third party without obtaining the prior written approval of the lender; and (c) selling, assigning, transferring, conveying or disposing of all or substantially all of its assets, or a change of control in Ormat Technologies’ ownership structure.  Some of the credit agreements, the term loan agreements, as well as the trust instrument, contain cross-default provisions with respect to other material indebtedness owed by us to any third party.  In some cases, Ormat Technologies has agreed to maintain certain financial ratios, which are measured quarterly, such as: (i) equity of at least $600 million and in no event less than 30% of total assets; (ii) 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term bank deposits to adjusted EBITDA ratio not to exceed 7; and (iii) dividend distribution not to exceed 35% of net income for that year.  As of December 31, 2013: (i) total equity was $745.1 million and the actual equity to total assets ratio was 34.5%, and (ii) the 12-month debt, net of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term bank deposits to Adjusted EBITDA ratio was 4.5.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, Ormat Technologies distributed interim dividends in an aggregate amount of $3.6 million.  Although Ormat Technologies reported net loss for the year, under the credit agreements, the loan agreements, and the trust instrument governing the bonds the Ormat Technologies can distribute interim dividends on the basis of its estimate of its net income for the year.  Since Ormat Technologies incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2012, it made an adjustment of $3.6 million to its 2013 dividends.  The failure to perform or observe any of the covenants set forth in the above agreements, subject to various cure periods, would result in the occurrence of an event of default and would enable the lenders to accelerate all amounts due under each such agreement.

NOTE 17 – DEFERRED LEASE FEES:

a. Ormat Technologies’ wholly owned subsidiary in Hawaii - Puna Geothermal Ventures (“PGV”) entered into a transaction involving the Puna geothermal power plant located on the Big Island of Hawaii (the “Puna Power Plant”).

Pursuant to a 31-year head lease (the “Head Lease”), PGV leased its geothermal power plant to an unrelated company in return for prepaid lease payments in the total amount of $83.0 million (the “Deferred Lease Income”). PGV’s rights in the geothermal resource and the related PPA have not been leased to the lessor as part of the Head Lease but are part of the lessor’s security package. The unrelated company simultaneously leased back the Puna Power Plant to PGV under a 23-year lease (the “Project Lease”).
 

The carrying amount of the leased assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $36.9 million and $39.6 million, respectively, net of accumulated depreciation of $25.5million and $22.8 million, respectively.

PGV’s rent obligations under the Project Lease will be paid solely from revenues generated by the Puna Power Plant under a PPA that PGV has with Hawaii Electric Light Company (“HELCO”). The Head Lease and the Project Lease are non-recourse lease obligations to either the Company or Ormat Technologies.

The Head Lease was classified as an operating lease. The Deferred Lease Income is amortized into revenue, using the straight-line method, over the 31-year term of the Head Lease. Deferred transaction costs amounting to $4.2 million are being amortized, using the straight-line method, over the 23-year term of the Project Lease.

b. Future minimum lease fees payable subsequent to December 31, 2013, are as follows:

	Dollars in thousands
First year		8,647

Third year		8,374
Fourth year		8,747
Fifth year		8,944

c. As required under the terms of the lease agreements, PGV is required to deposit certain amounts in restricted accounts. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, such funds amounted to $4.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively and are classified as current assets in the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

d. Under the lease agreement, PGV is required to deposit its remaining cash, after making all of the necessary payments and transfers as provided for in the lease agreements, in order to make distributions to its parent company. The distributions are allowed only if PGV maintains various restrictive covenants under the lease agreements, which include, inter alia, limitations on additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of such account was zero.

Israeli labor laws and agreements require the Israeli company in the Group to pay severance pay and/or pensions to employees dismissed or retiring from their employ in certain other circumstances.  The severance pay amounts due to the entitled employees are based on the number of years of service and the latest salary of the employee.

Under Israeli labor laws and agreements, including the Extension Order (Combined Text) for Obligatory Pension under the Collective Agreements Law, 1957 (hereafter – the “extension order”), the Israeli company in the Group is also required to make current contributions to provident funds, pension funds or other funds, etc. (hereafter – the “funds”) to cover pension insurance of their employees and a portion of the severance pay liability.

Subject to the provisions of the extension order, current deposits with defined contribution plans come instead of payment of severance pay to employees in Israel under Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law in respect of salary and other entitling pay components in respect of the periods and rates for which such deposits are made (hereafter – Section 14 deposits).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

The Israeli company in the Group makes current deposits in personal severance pay funds in the employees’ names in respect of that portion of the severance pay liability not covered by the Section 14 deposits and in respect of service periods before the extension order came into force.  These amounts constitute the balance of the severance pay liability and do not come instead of that liability.

The funds in which deposits for the pension insurance obligation and the Section 14 deposits are made are defined contribution plans covered by current contributions.  The amounts funded as above are not reflected in the statements of financial position.  The Group has no legal or implied obligation to make any additional payments in respect of the defined contribution plans in the event that the amounts accumulated therein are not sufficient for the disbursement of all the benefits for the employees’ service in the current period and in previous periods.
 

The balance of the severance pay liability is a defined benefit plan which exposes the Israeli company in the Group to an actuarial risk (in particular – that the labor costs are higher than anticipated) and to an investment risk (that the yield on the assets of the personal provident funds is lower than estimated).  The investments in such funds are managed by the fund managers and are subject to various regulations and to supervision by the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Department of the Ministry of Finance (including their investment policies).

b. Defined contribution plans

The liability of the Israeli company in the Group to pay employee pensions, and the Group’s liability to pay severance pay to employees in Israel under Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law, as well as the severance pay liability to employees outside of Israel, is covered by current deposits with defined contribution plans.  The amounts funded as above are not reflected in the statements of financial position.

The amounts expensed in respect of deposits with the defined contribution plans in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

c. Defined benefit plans

As mentioned above, the Israeli Group company has an obligation to pay severance pay to some employees under defined benefit plans.  This liability is mainly covered by regular deposits with severance pay funds and by purchase of managerial insurance policies.  The net liability presented in the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2013 and 2013, reflects the difference between the liability for severance pay and plan assets, as detailed in d. hereafter.

f.       Actuarial assumptions

The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2013	2012	2011
Discount rate	3.62%	3.95%	4.73%
Inflation rate	2.24%-2.28%	2.49%-2.63%	2.44%-2.51%
Expected rate of retirement	1%-10%	1%-10%	1%-10%
Future salary increases	3.27%	3.52%	3.47%

Following is analysis of sensitivity of the defined benefit plans to changes in weighted material actuarial assumptions which were probable at the end of the reported period:

	Increase (decrease) in the defined benefit liability
	December 31, 2013
	Dollars in thousands
	+10%	-10%
Capitalization rate	(492)	336
Future salary increases	312	(264)
Retirement rate	74	(70)

The sensitivity analyses were made by changing one assumption at a time, the other assumptions remaining constant.  This is unlikely to happen in practice, as there may be correlation between changes in several assumptions.

The sensitivity of the defined benefit liability to changes in material actuarial assumptions was measured using the same method which was applied in measurement of that liability in the statement of financial position (measurement of the fair value of the liability based on entitlement unit at the end of the reporting period).

g.      Plan assets

The Group’s defined benefit plan assets are invested in qualifying insurance policies the prices of which are quoted on active market.

h.      Risk exposure resulting from the defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plans expose the Group to several risks, the most significant being fluctuations in plan assets, which include a substantial number of equity instruments, changes in the yield of government bonds, and the possibility that payroll increases will be larger than assumed in actuarial calculations.

As mentioned above, investments in personal severance pay are managed by the fund managers and are subject to various regulations and to supervision by the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Department of the Ministry of Finance (including their investment policies).

NOTE 20   –   COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS RELATING TO LIABILITIES, PLEDGES ON ASSETS AND SECURITIES:

  Commitments:

In respect of acquisition and construction of power plants

In the ordinary course of its business, the Group enters into agreements with producers and suppliers for the timely supply of goods and services, based ondetailed specifications, for raw material inventories and for use in manufacture and construction of power plants.  Such commitments as of December 31, 2013 aggregated $57.3 million (approximately $26.6 million of which in respect of power plants under construction).

 In respect of geothermal resources

The Group, through Ormat Technologies’ subsidiaries in the United Sates, controls certain rights to geothermal fluids through certain leases with BLM or through private leases. Royalties on the utilization of the geothermal resources are computed and paid to the lessors as defined in the respective agreements. Royalties’ expense under the geothermal resource agreements were approximately $13.9 million $12.0 million, and $10.1 million, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

As regards the operating lease agreement of the Puna power plant, see note 17.

Royalty commitments

The Group is committed to pay royalties to the Government of Israel on proceeds from sales of products in the research and development of which the Government participates by way of grants. Under the terms of the Group’s funding from the Israeli Government, royalties of 3.5%-5% are payable on sales of products developed from a project so funded, up to 100% of the amount of the grant received by the Company (dollar linked); as from January 1, 1999 - with the addition of annual interest at the LIBOR rate).  In the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group did not pay royalties to the Israeli Government.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the maximum royalty amount payable by the Group is $1.5 million.

Letters of credit

In the ordinary course of business with customers, vendors, and lenders, the Group is contingently liable for performance under letters of credit totaling $248.9 million at December 31, 2013. Management does not expect any material losses to result from performance failure and, therefore, is of the opinion that the fair value of these letters of credit is zero.

B - 96

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Under an agreement between the subsidiary Ormat Technologies and certain banks, the banks allocated credit lines in a total amount of approximately $485.1 million, which can be used to draw letters of credit (see note 15).

For power purchase agreements, see note 22.

Contingent liabilities

There is a contingent liability to pay taxes in Israel on capital gains, in the event of the sale of shares in non-Israeli subsidiaries, including a substantial dilution as a result of issuance of shares by such subsidiaries that are considered a sale for this purpose.  This liability is based on the guarantee the Company issued to the Israeli income tax authority in connection with the transfer of shares of a non-Israeli subsidiary to another non-Israeli subsidiary, under Section 104 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has no intention to sell such shares.

Legal proceedings

1)      On December 24, 2012, Laborers’ International Union of North America Local Union No. 783 (“LiUNA”), an organized labor union, filed a petition in Mono County Superior Court, naming Mono County and Ormat Technologies as defendant and real party in interest, respectively. The petitioners brought this action to challenge the November 13, 2012 decision of the Mono County Board of Supervisors in denying Petitioners’ administrative appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”), adoption of findings under the California environmental quality reports  for the Mammoth Pacific I replacement project. The petition asks the court to set aside the approval of the CUP and adoption of the environmental quality reports and cause a new environmental quality report to be prepared and circulated.

The Group responded to LiUNA’s petition. Filing of the petition in and of itself does not have any immediate adverse implications for the Mammoth 1 enhancement.

The Group believes that the petition is without merit and is of the opinion that its chances of being dismissed exceed its chances of being accepted.

2)      In January 2014, the Group learned that two former employees of Ormat Technologies alleged in a qui tam complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California that the latter submitted fraudulent applications and certifications to obtain grants.  While the United States Department of Justice has declined to intervene, the former employees may proceed on their own.

While the Group  believes the allegations are without merit, it is investigating the allegations and evaluating and assessing the exposure to the Group, if any.  The Group does not believe that the allegations of the lawsuit have any merit and will defend itself vigorously if served.

3)      On February 19, 2012, a stockholder lodged a claim in the Tel Aviv District Court to recognize the claim as a derivative claim under section 198 of the Companies Law, 1999 against Gazit Israel (established by Gazit Inc., Panama) a subsidiary of Norstar Holdings Ltd. (formerly Gazit Inc.) (hereafter, collectively - “Gazit”) regarding alleged use of inside information by Gazit when it purchased Company shares in 2007.  The claim alleges that the Gazit purchases of Company shares during that period were made with the intention of acquiring control over the Company and the shareholders claim that Gazit should have reported this to the public in real time, because publication of that information would have caused a significant change in the price of the Company’s shares.  Therefore, the allegation is that the said purchase was based on illegal use of inside information.  The amount of the claim against Gazit is approximately NIS 365 million. On March 5, 2012 a request to approve a consensual motion was filed to the court requesting to approve procedural arrangement, according to which the respondents (Gazit and the Company) response to approve the derivative claim would be filed through May 15, 2012, and plaintiff’s response to the respondents response would be filed by June 15, 2012. On March 6, 2012 the procedural arrangement was validated by the court and a hearing was scheduled to June 25, 2012. Following an extension granted by the court, on May 20, 2012 the Company filed its response to the motion, in which it objected on legal and factual grounds, to approval of the claim as a derivative claim.  On November 12, 2012, the plaintiff filed a request for discovery and for shifting the burden to the respondents. The Company and Gazit filed their response to this request and the plaintiff filed its reply to their response. On December 11, 2012, a pre-trial was held. In this hearing it was determined that with respect to the motion for discovery of documents, a protocol referring to Gazit’s decision to purchase up to 20% of the Company’s shares will be transferred  and would be confidential. As to the motion for shifting the burden it was determined that such motion will be decided within the determination of whether to approve the claim as a derivative claim. A hearing of evidence took place on March 24, 2013.  Following the court decision, the parties submitted their summings-up in writing: the plaintiff – on May 12, 2013, and the defendant – on August 8, 2013.  The plaintiff submitted the rejoinder to the defendant’s summing-up on September 30, 2013.  On October 3, 2013, the court rejected the request to recognize the claim as a derivative claim and adjudged the plaintiff to pay legal costs of NIS 25,000 to each defendant.  The plaintiff was given 45 days to appeal that judgement.  To the best of the Group’s knowledge, no appeal was lodged and the time to do so has expired.

NOTE 21  –   OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE TAX MONETIZATION TRANSACTION IN THE UNITED STATES

The OPC transaction

On June 7, 2007, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ormat Technologies, Ormat Nevada Inc. (“Ormat Nevada”), concluded a transaction to monetize production tax credits and other favorable tax attributes, such as accelerated depreciation, generated from certain of its geothermal power plants. Pursuant to the transaction, affiliates of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Lehman Brothers Inc. became institutional equity investors (the “Institutional Investors”) in a newly formed subsidiary of Ormat Nevada. The power plants involved in the transaction include Desert Peak 2, Steamboat Hills, and Galena 2, all located in Nevada.  The said subsidiary is taxed in the U.S. as a partnership.

B - 98

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

The first closing under the agreement occurred in 2007 and covered the Company’s Desert Peak 2, Steamboat Hills and Galena 2 power plants.  Under the transaction structure, Ormat Nevada transferred the aforementioned geothermal power plants to the newly formed subsidiary, OPC LLC (“OPC”), and sold limited liability company interests in OPC to the Institutional Investors.  The Institutional Investors paid $71.8 million at the first closing. The second closing under the agreements occurred in 2008 and covered the Galena 3 power plant.  The Institutional Investors paid $63.0 million at the second closing. Ormat Nevada will continue to operate and maintain the power plants and will receive initially all of the distributable cash flow generated by the power plants until it recovers the capital that it has invested in the power plants, while the Institutional Investors will receive substantially all of the production tax credits and the taxable income or loss (together, the “Economic Benefits”), and the distributable cash flow after Ormat Nevada has recovered its capital. The Institutional Investor’s return is limited by the term of the transaction. Once the Institutional Investors reach a target after-tax yield on their investment in OPC (the “Flip Date”), Ormat Nevada will receive 95% of both distributable cash and taxable income and the Institutional Investors will receive 5% of both distributable cash and taxable income on a going forward basis. Following the Flip Date, Ormat Nevada also has the option to buy out the Institutional Investors’ remaining interest in OPC at the then-current fair market value or, if greater, the Institutional Investors’ capital account balances in OPC. Should Ormat Nevada exercise this purchase option, it would thereupon revert to being sole owner of the power plants.

On October 30, 2009, Ormat Nevada acquired all the Class B shares owned by Lehman-OPC LLC, which constitute a thirty percent interest in the Class B membership units of OPC.  The membership units were acquired from Lehman-OPC LLC pursuant to a right of first offer for a price of $18.5 million.  Since the initial sale of the Class B membership units by Ormat Nevada was accounted for as a financing transaction, the repurchase of these interests at a discount resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $14.4 million. Following the purchase of the Class B shares Ormat Nevada share in the cash flows and tax income was increased until the Flip Date from 95% to 96.5%.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, Ormat Nevada recovered its capital investment in the power plants and therefore the institutional investors will get their portion in the distributable cash and tax credit.

From October 30, 2009 to February 3, 2011, Ormat Nevada held all the Class A shares, representing approximately 75% of the voting rights in OPC, and 30% of the Class B shares, representing approximately 7.5% of the voting rights in OPC.  Ormat Nevada therefore held approximately 82.5% of the voting rights in OPC.  During that period, the Institutional Investors held approximately 70% of the Class B shares, representing approximately 17.5% of the voting rights in OPC.  Aside from the restrictions applicable under the terms of the transaction, all the operational decisions in OPC are governed by the majority of shareholders.  As from the Flip Date, the voting rights of Ormat Nevada would have been approximately 96.5% and those of the Institutional Investors - 3.5%.

On February 3, 2011, Ormat Nevada sold JPM Capital Corporation (“JPM”) all of the Class B membership units of OPC that it had acquired on October 30, 2009 for a sale price of $24.9 million in cash. The Group did not record any gain from the sale of its Class B membership interests in OPC to JPM.  Following the sale of the Class B shares Ormat Nevada share in the cash flows and tax income was decreased as from the Flip Date from 96.5% to 95.0%.

The ORTP transaction

On January 24, 2013, Ormat Nevada entered into agreements with JPM under which JPM purchased interests in a newly formed subsidiary of Ormat Nevada, ORTP, entitling JPM to certain tax benefits (such as PTCs and accelerated depreciation) associated with certain geothermal power plants in California and Nevada.

B - 99

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

Under the terms of the transaction, Ormat Nevada transferred the Heber complex, the Mammoth complex, the Ormesa complex, and the Steamboat 2 and 3, Burdette (Galena 1) and Brady power plants to ORTP, and sold class B membership units in ORTP to JPM. In connection with the closing, JPM paid approximately $35.7 million to Ormat Nevada and will make additional payments to Ormat Nevada of 25% of the value of PTCs generated by the portfolio over time.  The additional payments are expected to be made until December 31, 2016 and total up to a maximum amount of $11.0 million.

Ormat Nevada will continue to operate and maintain the power plants. Under the agreements, Ormat Nevada will initially receive all of the distributable cash flow generated by the power plants, while JPM will receive substantially all of PTCs and the taxable income or loss (together, the Economic Benefits). JPM’s return is limited by the terms of the transaction.  Once JPM reaches a target after-tax yield on its investment in ORTP (the ORTP Flip Date), Ormat Nevada will receive 97.5% of the distributable cash and 95.0% of the taxable income, on a going forward basis.  At any time during the twelve-month period after the end of the fiscal year in which the ORTP Flip Date occurs (but no earlier than the expiration of five years following the date that the last of the power plants was placed in service for purposes of federal income taxes), Ormat Nevada also has the option to purchase JPM’s remaining interest in ORTP at the then-current fair market value.  If Ormat Nevada were to exercise this purchase option, it would become the sole owner of the power plants again.

The Class B membership units entitle the holder to a 5.0% (allocation of income and loss) and 2.5% (allocation of cash) residual economic interest in ORTP.  The Group’s voting rights in ORTP are based on a capital structure that is comprised of Class A and Class B membership units.  Through Ormat Nevada, the Group owns all of the Class A membership units, which represent 75.0% of the voting rights in ORTP.   JPM owns all of the Class B membership units, which represent 25.0% of the voting rights of ORTP.  Other than in respect of customary protective rights, all operational decisions in ORTP are decided by the vote of a majority of the membership units.   Ormat Nevada retains the controlling voting interest in OPC and ORTP both before and after the Flip Date and therefore will continue to consolidate them.

The amounts received for the rights in OPC and ORTP are presented in the statement of financial position among long-term liabilities as “liability in respect of tax partnership.”   Transaction costs amounting to $5.1 million, $1.3 million and $2.0 million, as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been carried to the long-term liability in respect of the tax partnership in the consolidated statements of financial position and will be amortized in the consolidated statements of operations through the Flip Date, by the effective interest method.

NOTE 22  –   POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Substantially all of the Group’s electricity revenues are recognized pursuant to PPAs of subsidiaries of Ormat Technologies in the U.S. and in various foreign countries, including Kenya, Nicaragua and Guatemala.  These PPAs generally provide for the payment of energy payments or both energy and capacity payments through their respective terms which expire in varying periods from 2014 to 2034.  Generally, capacity payments are payments calculated based on the amount of time that the power plants are available to generate electricity.  The energy payments are payments calculated based on the amount of electrical energy delivered to the network at a designated delivery point.  The price terms are customary in the industry and include, among others, a fixed price, short-run avoided cost (“SRAC”) (the incremental cost that the power purchaser avoid by not having to generate such electrical energy itself or purchase it from others), and a fixed price with an escalation clause.

B - 100

ORMAT INDUSTRIES LTD.

(An Israeli Corporation)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)

In certain cases, the price includes the value of renewable energy credits.  Certain of the PPAs provide for bonus payments in the event that the Group is able to exceed certain target levels and penalties if it fails to meet minimum target levels. One PPA gives the power purchaser or its designee the right of first refusal in the event of sale of the geothermal power plant.  Upon satisfaction of certain conditions specified in this PPA and subject to receipt of requisite approvals and negotiations between the parties, the Group has the right to demand that the power purchaser acquire the power plant at fair market value. The subsidiaries in Guatemala sell power at an agreed upon price subject to terms of a “take or pay” PPA.

Pursuant to the terms of certain of the PPAs, the Group may be required to make payments to the relevant power purchaser under certain conditions, such as shortfall on delivery of renewable energy and energy credits, and not meeting certain performance threshold requirements, as defined.  The amount of payment required is dependent upon the level of shortfall on delivery or performance requirements and is recorded in the period the shortfall occurs.  In addition, under certain PPAs, if the Group does not meet certain minimum performance requirements, the capacity of the power plant may be permanently reduced.

	The agreements were approved by the general shareholders meeting of the Company on September 8, 2004, after approval of the audit committee and board of directors of the Company, before Ormat Technologies went public. The agreements were for a four year period, with an extension option for another four years, ending June 30, 2012.  On February 22, 2012, the board of directors of Ormat Technologies approved the extension of the employment agreements for a further 24-month period ending June 30, 2014.  Based on legal advice obtained by the Company, in the context of Amendment 16 to the Companies Law, the Company’s approval of the agreements of Ormat Technologies with the Bronickis is not required, because Ormat Technologies is an American public company subject to specific regulatory procedures relating to approval of agreements with its office-holders.  The original agreements with the Bronickis stipulated that they were also entitled to receive a bonus equal to 0.75% of the consolidated profits of the Company after tax, net of the consolidated profits of Ormat Technologies after tax. Nevertheless, taking into account the said Amendment 16, the Company is not allowed to pay this grant to either of the Bronickis, without the approval of an extraordinary general shareholders meeting, with the majority stipulated in section 275 of the Companies Law.
	On November 6, 2013, Ms. and Mr. Bronicki announced that they intended to retire from their offices as above on June 30, 2014.  The board of directors of the Company has resolved to appoint Ms. Bronicki as its chaiperson upon her retirement from her current position, and the present chairman, Mr. Ishay Davidi, announced that he would retire from his position and continue serve as a director.
	The Bronickis have a personal interest in these agreements since they are parties to the agreements. Other Bronicki family members may be considered as having personal interest in these agreements due to their family ties with Ms. and Mr. Bronicki. Bronicki Investments Ltd. may be considered as having a personal interest in those agreements since it is controlled by the Bronicki family and Fimi fund may be considered as having a personal interest due to the shareholders’ agreement with Bronicki Investments.
b.	Mr. Yoram Bronicki (“Yoram”), serves as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Ormat Technologies.  Under Yoram’s employment agreement, expiring June 30, 2014, his salary is $14,000 per month, and he is entitled to an annual bonusrepresenting 0.75% of Ormat Technologies net consolidated income in excess of $2 million (but not in excess of an amount equal to six annual salaries).  Capital gains or losses on dilution of holdings in subsidiaries shall not be taken into account in the calculation of the bonus.  In addition, in the event of change of control in Ormat Technologies (as defined in his agreement), Yoram is entitled to a retirement grant in the amount of approximately $1,069,000 calculated as of December 31, 2013, which is equal to Yoram’s monthly salary at the time of transfer of control, including any salary increases thereafter, multiplied by 24, with the addition of twice the average amount of his annual bonuses for the two years preceding the transfer of control; in addition to the above, he is entitled to twice the computed maximum amount of the annual contributions of Ormat Technologies towards his pension.  Yoram’s employment agreement came into force on July 1, 2004 and has been automatically extended for additional two year periods. The employment agreement was approved by the general shareholders meetings of the Company held on September 8, 2004 and on September 15, 2009, after approvals of the audit committee and the board of directors of the Company. The agreement have since been automatically renewed for further two year periods expiring June 30, 2014, as stated above.  As to legal advice obtained by the Company, in the context of Amendment 16 to the Companies Law, the Company’s approval of the agreements of Ormat Technologies with the Bronickis is not required, see a. above.

		In December 2013, Ormat Technologies and Yoram entered into an amended employment agreement, whereunder his employment with Ormat has been extended till June 30, 2016, effective June 30, 2014 he will retire from his office as its COO and as of July 2014 will be appointed the Chairman of its board of directors.  The amendment stipulates that Yoram must devote most of his time to his duties with Ormat Technologies and reduces his annual bonus from 0.75% of Ormat Technologies net consolidated income in excess of $2 million (but not in excess of an amount equal to six annual salaries) to 0.5% of the said amount.  Since the agreement enters into effect on June 30, 2014, the reduction does not apply to Yoram’s 2013 bonus.
		Yoram has a personal interest in the employment agreement since he is party to the agreement. Other Bronicki family members may be considered as having personal interest in this agreement due to the family ties. Bronicki Investments Ltd. may be considered as having a personal interest in those agreements since it is controlled by the Bronicki family and Fimi fund may be considered as having a personal interest due to the shareholders’ agreement with Bronicki Investments.
5)	Agreements with an interested party and companies under his control:
	a.	Mr. Yuval Bronicki (“Yuval”) provides consulting, development and implementation services with respect to the Group’s exclusive ERP software (hereafter – software development and assimilation services).  Yuval is entitled hourly pay of $100.

On August 3, 2011, the audit committee of Ormat Technologies approved the extension of the agreement with Yuval without any limitation on the number of hours, since the Group had submitted requests for development of additional modules for the ERP system.  Moreover, it was decided that the agreement would be between Ormat Technologies and a company controlled by Yuval. Based on legal advice obtained by the Company, the Company’s approval of the agreements of Ormat Technologies is not required, because Ormat Technologies is an American public company subject to specific regulatory procedures relating to approval of agreements with its office-holders who, indirectly, are its controlling shareholders.
		Yuval has a personal interest in the employment agreement since he is party to the agreement and other Bronicki family members may be considered as having personal interest in this agreement due to the family ties. Bronicki Investments Ltd. may be considered as having a personal interest in those agreements since it is controlled by the Bronicki family and Fimi fund may be considered as having a personal interest due to the shareholders’ agreement with Bronicki Investments.

	Effective as of April 1, 2009, the Company and Ormat Systems entered into a new sublease agreement for production facilities built near the existing production facilities in Yavne.  The monthly rent under this agreement is $77,000, payable in advance and adjusted annually for changes in the Israeli Consumer Price Index.  The term of the sublease terminates on the same date as the sublease agreement of July 2004.

In this regard, the Audit Committee of Ormat Technologies determined that such transactions of up to $2 million in a year with each of the companies controlled by FIMI do not require prior approval for agreements. This mechanism established under the working assumption that: (1) engagements are performed in the ordinary course of the Group; and (2) such transactions were carried out with the aforementioned companies before becoming FIMI controlling shareholder of the Group.  In addition, the Audit Committee of Ormat Technologies will audit once a year, the business relationship of Ormat Systems with companies controlled by FIMI (based on report of the Disclosure Committee of Ormat Technologies, see below) and determine whether the business relationship is in favor of Ormat Technologies and its shareholders and whether the agreements are carried at market terms and in the ordinary course of business. Further, it was decided  that engagements which exceed the amounts approved will require the prior approval of the Audit Committee of Ormat Technologies regarding the amount in excess of the approved amount. In addition, an annual report will be submited by the Disclosure Committee of Ormat Technologies summarizes the amount of purchase orders over a period of 12 months, together with a copy of the engagements (if any) made by Ormat Systems with companies controlled by FIMI during the past year.

	c.	Continuing agreement with an interested party at different terms
		As mentioned above, in December 2013, Ormat Technologies and Yoram entered into an amended employment agreement.  Under that agreement, Yoram’s annual bonus was reduced from 0.75% of Ormat Technologies net consolidated income in excess of $2 million (but not in excess of an amount equal to six annual salaries) to 0.5% of the amount stipulated by the previous agreement.
		Since in 2011 and 2012 Ormat Technologies did not derive consolidated profit, Yoram did not receive his annual bonus, so that the change did not affect the amounts that would have been payable under the agreement in effect prior to the amendment.  The effect thereof for 2013 was reducing the bonus paid by approximately $100,000.

NOTE 4   –  SARULLA

The Company (through a subsidiary) is a 12.75% equity shareholder of a consortium (the “Sarulla Consortium”) which is in the process of developing a geothermal power project in Indonesia with expected generating capacity of approximately 330 megawatts (“MW”). The  project will be operated by the consortium members together with PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy, the concession holder for the project, which is the local electricity company. The project (the “Sarulla Project”) will be constructed in three phases of 110 MW each.

On May 16, 2014, the consortium reached a financial closing of $1.17 billion in financing agreements to finance the development of the Sarulla project with a consortium of lenders comprised of Japan Bank for International Cooperation (“JBIC”), the Asian Development Bank and six commercial banks and obtained construction and a term loan under limited recourse financing package backed by a political risk guarantee from JBIC.

In May 2014, following the financial closing as described above, the Sarulla consortium entered into interest rate swap agreements with various international banks in order to fix the Libor interest rate on up to $0.96 billion of the $1.07 billion credit facility at a rate of 3.4565%.

The Sarulla Consortium has accounted for the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge upon which changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, relative to the effective portion, will be recorded in other comprehensive income. As such, during the nine months and three months period ended on September 30, 2014, the Company’s share in the loss of such transactions was approximately $5.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which was recorded in other comprehensive income. Of the $1.17 billion, $0.1 billion (which was drawn down by the Company on May 23, 2014) bears a fixed interest rate.

Following the financial closing, the Sarulla Consortium has started the construction work of the first phase of the project of which operations is expected to commence in 2016 and the remaining two phases of operations are scheduled to commence within 18 months thereafter. The Group will supply its Ormat Energy Converters to the power plant. According to the current project plan, the Group has begun to recognize revenue from the project over the course of the next three to four years starting in the second quarter of 2014.

NOTE 5   –  ISSUANCE OF NOTES GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

In August 2014, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary signed a $140.0 million loan for a period of 18 years to finance the construction of the McGinness Hills Phase 2 project in Nevada. The plant is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015. This drawdown is the last tranche under the Note Purchase Agreement with John Hancock Life Insurance Company (USA) and 80% guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office in accordance with and subject to the Department’s Loan Guarantee Program under Section 1705 of Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The $140.0 million loan, which matures in December 2032, carries a 4.61% coupon with principal paid quarterly.

In anticipation of the drawdown, on August 13, 2014, in connection with such contemplated drawdown, the Company entered into a rate lock agreement with a financial institution with a notional amount of $140.0 million, which terminated August 15, 2014. The rate lock was based on a 10-year treasury interest rate. On August 15, 2014, the Company paid to the counterparty of the rate lock agreement an amount of $1.5 million. A loss of $0.9 million, net of related taxes of $0.6 million is recorded under “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and is amortized over the life of the notes using the effective interest method.

NOTE 6   –  SALE OF HEBER SOLAR

On March 26, 2014, the Group has signed an agreement with RET Holdings, LLC to sell the Heber Solar project in Imperial County, California for $35.25 million. The Group received the first payment of $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2014 and the second payment for the remaining $20.25 million was received in the second quarter of 2014. As a result of the sale, the Group recognized a pretax gain of $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2014.

NOTE 7   –  PREPAYMENT OF LONG TERM LOAN

On September 30, 2014, a subsidiary of Ormat Technologies prepaid the outstanding amount of approximately a $30.0 million loan with EIG Global Project Fund II, Ltd. (formerly TCW). This repayment resulted in a one-time charge to interest expense of approximately $1.1 million, consisting of (i) prepayment premium of $0.6 million and (ii) write-off of related deferred financing costs amounting of  $0.5 million.

NOTE 8   –  DERIVATIVES

On March 6, 2014, the Group entered into an additional NGI swap contract with a bank for a notional amount of approximately 2.2 million MMbtu that will be settle on January 1, 2015 until March 31, 2015, in order to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in natural gas rates. Under the terms of this contract, the Company will make floating rate payments to the bank and receive fixed rate payments from the bank on each settlement date. The swap contract has monthly settlements whereby the difference between the fixed price of $4.95 per MMbtu of NGI natural gas and the market price will be settled on a cash basis.

This transaction, like in previous hedge transactions signed in previous years, has not been designated as a hedge transaction and is marked to market with the corresponding gains or losses recognized within electricity revenues. The Group recognized a net gain from the hedge transactions on the natural gas and oil of $1.3 million and $4.0 million dollars in the nine and three months periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, resulting from the mark-to-market impact of these contracts.

NOTE 9   –  INTERESTED PARTIES:

On February 11, 2014, the Company announced that Mr. Isaac Angel was selected as the future CEO of the Company and CEO of its subsidiary Ormat Technologies. Mr. Angel joined Ormat on April 1, 2014 and was appointed the CEO position effective July 1, 2014. Mr. Angel is employed by Ormat Technologies and by Ormat Systems Ltd. (subsidiary of Ormat Technologies).

On April 2, 2014, the Company granted Mr. Angel options to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock under the 2012 Incentive Plan. The exercise price of each option is $29.52 per share, which represented the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Options to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock will expire six years following the date of grant and will vest in four equal annual installments over four years commencing with the second anniversary of the date of grant. The remaining options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock will vest on March 31, 2021 and will expire on September 30, 2021.   The terms of the options are subject to changes in the event of a change of control.

NOTE 10  –  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

a.In December 2012, Laborers’ International Union of North America Local Union No. 783

(“LiUNA”), an organized labor union, filed a petition in Mono County Superior Court, naming Mono County, California and Ormat Technologies as defendant and real party in interest, respectively. The petitioners brought this action to challenge the November 13, 2012 decision of the Mono County Board of Supervisors in adopting Resolutions No. 12-78, denying petitioners’ administrative appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”), adoption of findings under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and adoption of the final environmental impact report (“EIR”) for the Mammoth Pacific enhancement. The Company has successfully defended itself against the petition, which has been denied by the court.

On July 8, 2014, Global Community Monitor, LiUNA, and two residents of Bishop, California filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging that Mammoth Pacific, L.P., Ormat Technologies, Inc. and Ormat Nevada, Inc. are operating three geothermal generating plants in Mammoth Lakes, California (MP-1; MP-II and PLES-I) in violation of the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District (“District”) rules.

The Group is continuing to review the complaint and believes that it is without merit, and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations set forth in the complaint and to take all necessary legal action to have the complaint dismissed. Filing of the complaint in and of itself does not have any immediate adverse implications for the Mammoth plants. The Group management is of the opinion that the chances of the claim not being accepted are greater than those of its being accepted.

b.In January 2014, the Group learned that two former employees of Ormat Technologies alleged in a “qui tam” complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California that Ormat Technologies submitted fraudulent applications and certifications to obtain grants from the US government. The United States Department of Justice has declined to intervene. The former employees have proceeded on their own and served the Company with their initial complaint in April 2014, and then filed an amended complaint in May 2014.

The Group is investigating, and is defending against the amended complaint. This includes that, pursuant to the Company’s motion to move venue of the proceeding, the file was reassigned from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California to the District of Nevada. In addition, the Group has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, in response to which the complaints have filed responses, and the United States has filed a statement of interest regarding the Company’s claim that the False Claims Act’s “Tax Bar” excludes such Act’s application to the Company, and urged the court to reject the Company’s argument, while continuing to take no position as to the overall sufficiency of the complainants’ complaint. The motion to dismiss is pending before the Nevada United States District Court.

The Group believes that the allegations of the lawsuit have no merit. The Group management is of the opinion that the chances of the claim not being accepted are greater than those of its being accepted.

c.  In addition, from time to time, the Group is named as a party in various other lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of the Group’s management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.

NOTE 11  –  TAXES ON INCOME

Income tax expenses for the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2014 were $0.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The income tax benefit includes income of $17.8 million and $5.3 million, in the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from the sale of tax benefits to partners in the tax partnerships in the U.S. OPC and ORTP, net of income tax expenses of $18.1 million and $7.3 million, in the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Income tax expenses for the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2013 were $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The income tax benefit includes income of $13.7 million and $4.9 million, in the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, from the sale of tax benefits to partners in the tax partnerships in the U.S.- OPC and ORTP, net of income tax expenses of $14.3 million and $6.0 million, in the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

The tax provision for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 has been computed based on the management’s estimate of the effective tax rates that will apply to total projected annual net income.

NOTE 12  –  BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

The Group’s business segments, as determined by management are:

Electricity	-	This segment is engaged in the maintenance and operation of wholly or partly owned geothermal and recovered energy power plants in the international market, to produce and supply electricity they produce for customers, which are utilities, according to power purchase agreements.

NOTE 15  –  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Cash dividend

On November 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of Ormat Technologies resolved to pay a dividend of $2.3 million, payable on December 4, 2014. Consequently, the Group will distribute dividends of $0.9 million to holders of non-controlling rights in the subsidiary.

Potential restructuring with parent company

On October 29, 2014, the Group announced that the Company and Ormat Technologies are considering a possible corporate reorganization. Under the proposed transaction, Ormat Technologies would acquire the Company’s shares by issuing shares of common stock of Ormat Technologies to the Company’s shareholders in exchange for all of the Company’s shareholders’ shares in the Company, based upon an exchange ratio to be agreed upon between the parties. If approved and consummated, the transaction would eliminate the Company’s majority ownership interest in, and control of, Ormat Technologies.
