Invests approximately Euro 15.5 million in Photovoltaic Plants with an aggregate power of 4

MWp

Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 30, 2011 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (EMYCF.PK) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”), announced today that it has entered into two agreements (the “Agreements”) with Italian contractors in connection with the acquisition and construction of the following photovoltaic plants in the Puglia Region in Italy: (i) a photovoltaic plant of approximately 3 MWp with single tracker technology that the contractor has undertaken to connect to the Italian national grid by May 31, 2011 under the applicable 2011 Feed-in-Tariff (with certain adjustments to the consideration in the event of delays) and (ii) a photovoltaic plant of approximately 1 MWp with fixed technology that is already constructed and expected to connect to the Italian national grid under 2010 Feed-in-Tariff.

In connection with both Agreements, a subsidiary of the Company purchased all outstanding shares of the Italian companies that own the projects. The aggregate cost of the projects is approximately Euro 15.5 million. The Agreements require the contractors to deliver two fully operational photovoltaic plants, including the connection of the plants to the Italian national grid. It is the Company’s intention to finance the majority of the investment in connection with these projects by obtaining financing from a financial institution.

These photovoltaic plants join the Company’s six existing photovoltaic plants, two of which are in the Puglia Region and are connected to the Italian national grid under 2010 Feed-in-Tariff and four of which are in the Marche Region and are constructed and expected to connect to the Italian national grid under the same Feed-in-Tariff.
