On March 4, 2010, Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has executed agreements with an Italian contractor, for the design, supply, construction, assembly and commissioning of two photovoltaic plants in Italy. The text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

The Company believes that following the execution of this agreement, it will no longer be deemed a "shell company" as such term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as it will be commencing operations that are more than nominal. The Company will therefore be required to file a Form 20-F within four business days of execution of the agreements describing the material terms of the transaction in more detail.
