1.
On April 24, 2012, Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “Ellomay Capital Announces Filing of a Prospectus in Israel by Ellomay Oil and Gas 2011 Limited Partnership for the Sale of Units and Options.” The text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
 
 
2.
As set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2012, Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”), a private Israeli company in which the Company indirectly holds 7.5% of the issued and outstanding share capital, previously entered into a long-term natural gas delivery contract with East Mediterranean Gas Company, S.A.E. (“EMG”), an Egyptian company.
 
As reported in the Israeli press, and as reported to the Company by Dorad, on April 22, 2012 Dorad received a letter from EMG indicating that on April 19, 2012 the Egyptian energy companies with which EMG entered into a Gas Supply and Purchase Agreement (Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation and Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, together, the “Egyptian Gas Companies”) delivered a notice to EMG purporting to terminate their agreement with EMG. Pursuant to a public announcement issued by Ampal-American Israel Corporation (Nasdaq: AMPL), which holds a 12.5% interest in EMG, EMG deems such termination attempt to be unlawful and in bad faith and demanded that the Egyptian Gas Companies withdraw it.
 
As indicated in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011, Dorad may be required to procure natural gas from sources other than EMG. The Company was informed that Dorad is currently negotiating with a potential supplier of natural gas in the area, holding oil and gas exploration and excavation licenses in the Mediterranean sea.
