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. 333-187533, 333-102288 AND 333-92491), AND TO BE A PART THEREOF FROM THE DATE ON WHICH THIS REPORT IS SUBMITTED, TO THE EXTENT NOT SUPERSEDED BY DOCUMENTS OR REPORTS SUBSEQUENTLY FILED OR FURNISHED.

On July 23, 2013, Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”), in an effort to increase the “public float”1 of its outstanding shares in connection with the possible listing of the Company’s shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, entered into a transaction with a shareholder that holds approximately 8% of the Company’s outstanding shares (the “Shareholder”). Pursuant to the transaction, the Shareholder agreed to hold no more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares for a period of one year and, subject to and following the sale by the Shareholder of approximately 3% of the Company’s outstanding shares to unrelated third parties, the Company undertook to issue the Shareholder a two-year warrant to acquire the same number of shares (the “Warrant” and the “Warrant Shares”). The exercise price for the Warrant Shares will be the price per share received by the Shareholder for the shares the Shareholder sells prior to the issuance of the Warrant minus related expenses and subject to certain adjustments, and the Warrant may only be exercised via cashless exercise methods described in the Warrant. In addition, during the first 12 months following the issuance of the Warrant, the Warrant cannot be exercised by the Shareholder if the exercise will result in the Shareholder beneficially holding in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The Shareholder was also provided with certain registration rights in the event Rule 144 is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares following a certain holding period of the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares. The Company cannot at this point predict when and if the Shareholder will succeed in reducing his holdings in the Company’s shares to 4.99% and, if so, at what price, and whether the Company will list its shares on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
