THIS FORM 6-K IS HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THE REGISTRANT’S REGISTRATION STATEMENTS ON FORM F-3 (NOS. 333-199696 AND 333-144171) 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333-102288 AND 333-92491), AND TO BE A PART THEREOF FROM THE DATE ON WHICH THIS REPORT IS SUBMITTED, TO THE EXTENT NOT SUPERSEDED BY DOCUMENTS OR REPORTS SUBSEQUENTLY FILED OR FURNISHED.

Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”) hereby reports that on December 8, 2016, Edelcom Ltd. (“Edelcom”), which holds 18.75% of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”), filed an opening motion with the Economic Department of the Tel Aviv-Yaffo District Court against Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (f/k/a U. Dori Group Ltd., the “Luzon Group”), U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (”Dori Energy”) and Dorad (the “Opening Motion”). The Opening Motion was filed shortly after the publication in Israel of a prospectus by the Luzon Group for the issuance of debentures to the Israeli public, proposed to be secured, among other securities, by a pledge on Dori Energy’s shares that are held by the Luzon Group (representing a 50% ownership percentage in Dori Energy, with the Company, indirectly, holding the remaining 50%).

In the Opening Motion, Edelcom requests the court to declare that: (a) the creation of a lien on Dori Energy’s shares held by the Luzon Group triggers the right of first refusal mechanism included in the Dorad shareholders agreement, (b) that the Luzon Group and/or Dori Energy are obligated to act in accordance with such right of first refusal and enable the shareholders of Dorad to acquire all of Luzon Group’s holdings in Dori Energy or, indirectly, in Dorad, for a consideration of NIS 70 million less the value of other securities provided to the debenture holders or, alternatively, for an amount to be determined by an economic expert appointed by the court, and (c) to determine that Edelcom’s notice of exercise of its right of first refusal, obligates the Luzon Group and/or Dori Energy.

The Luzon Group reported to the public in Israel that its positon, and the position of its legal counsel, based on an initial review of the Opening Motion, is that there is no legal basis for the claims included in the Opening Motion and it rejects all claims included in the Opening Motion. Based on its initial review of the Opening Motion, the Company is also of the opinion that the Opening Motion is without legal basis.
