On January 27, 2011, Ellomay Clean Energy Ltd. (“Ellomay Energy”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of a 40% stake of U. Dori Energy Infrastructure Ltd. (“Dori Energy”).  The acquisition was completed pursuant to an agreement (the “Agreement”) dated November 25, 2010 among Ellomay Energy, Dori Energy and U. Dori Group Ltd., an Israeli public company whose shares are traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and who now, following the completion of the acquisition, holds the remaining 60% of Dori Energy’s shares.

Additional details concerning the Agreement, including the consideration paid and the shareholders agreement that was executed between the parties to the Agreement, and concerning Dori Energy’s holdings in Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”) were included in the press release issued by the Company in connection with the execution of the Agreement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form 6-K dated November 29, 2010.

Concurrently with the closing of the Agreement, Dori Energy and Israel Discount Bank Ltd. (the “Bank”) entered into an agreement to provide a bank guaranty (the “Discount Agreement”) in connection with Dori Energy’s undertakings to provide financing for Dorad’s operations.  The Discount Agreement contemplates, among other things, the provision of a bank guaranty by the Bank of up to NIS 120 million (approximately US$ 33 million) to Dorad.  In connection with the Discount Agreement, the Company and Ellomay Energy, severally and jointly, provided a guaranty to the Bank for 40% of the amounts guaranteed by the Bank and Ellomay Energy provided the Bank with a fixed pledge on shares held by Ellomay Energy, including all related rights, and on any shareholder loans that have or will be provided in the future by Ellomay Energy to Dori Energy.

Furthermore, the conditions precedent for a first drawdown by Doard as set forth in the finance documents that apply to Dorad, were fulfilled on January 27, 2011. Such conditions precedent included, inter alia, the provision to Dorad of Dori Energy’s pro rata share of the equity finance (including through the provision of bank guarantees) required by Dorad.
