THIS FORM 6-K IS HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THE REGISTRANT’S REGISTRATION STATEMENTS ON FORM F-3 (NOS. 333-144171, 333-115826, 333-114428, 333-47842 AND 333-92493) AND FORM S-8 (NOS. 333-102288 AND 333-92491), AND TO BE A PART THEREOF FROM THE DATE ON WHICH THIS REPORT IS SUBMITTED, TO THE EXTENT NOT SUPERSEDED BY DOCUMENTS OR REPORTS SUBSEQUENTLY FILED OR FURNISHED.

As previously published, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, by and between Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) and Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), dated December 9, 2007 (the “APA”), an amount of US$9.5 million of the total amount deposited into the escrow account are to be distributed to the Company eighteen months following the closing date of the APA, unless such funds are to be used to compensate for any indemnity claims. The APA closing date was on February 29, 2008. In connection with the pending distribution of the funds, the escrow agent under the APA and the Company received officers’ certificates from HP listing various alleged claims for indemnity amounting to approximately US$ 11.5 million (consisting of claims for approximately US$ 8.1 million and claims for approximately Euro 2.4 million).

The Company and legal counsel are reviewing the claims and are in the process of determining the Company’s course of action with respect to such claims, including, but not limited to, the possibility of filing a response pursuant to the procedure set forth in the APA.

It is too early at this stage to determine the outcome of such review by the Company and legal counsel or of any action the Company may decide to take, if any. Therefore, it is too early to determine what amount, if any, will be distributed to the Company from the escrow account.
