Exhibit 99.1

Ellomay Capital Ltd. Announces Entry into a Euro 35.9 Million Project Finance Agreement by Italian Subsidiaries

Tel-Aviv, Israel, May 30, 2018 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) (“Ellomay”or the“Company”),a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe and Israel,today announced that five of its Italian subsidiaries entered into a euro 35.9 million project finance Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”).

The Facility Agreement was executed among Ellomay PV Two S.r.l, Ellomay PV Seven S.r.l., Pedale S.r.l., Soleco S.r.l and Tecnoenergy S.r.l (together, the “Subsidiaries”) and Mediocredito Italiano S.p.A (the “Lender”) and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. (as account bank). The euro 35.9 million principal amount is divided into: (i) five term loan facilities, one for each Subsidiary, which are to be used to refinance the existing financing of the Subsidiaries and for general purposes of the Subsidiaries, in the aggregate amount of euro 33.7 million with terms ending in May 2028, and (ii) five revolving facilities, one for each Subsidiary, aimed to cover financial needs for the debt service coverage in case of Subsidiaries liquidity shortfall, in the aggregate amount of euro 2.2 million with terms ending in November 2027.

The loans provided under the Facility Agreement bear a semiannual interest rate equal to the Euribor 6 month rate plus a margin of 185 basis points. The Facility Agreement includes customary terms, including a default interest that will accrue a delay in payments, requirements to maintain financial ratios, various securities provided by the Subsidiaries and a pledge on the shares of the Subsidiaries and subordination agreement provided by Ellomay Luxemburg, our wholly-owned subsidiary and the parent company of the Subsidiaries. The Facility Agreement provides for a cross-collateralization mechanism among the Subsidiaries, wherebyeach Subsidiary shall guarantee each other’s obligations under the Facility Agreement and the other finance documents for a maximum guaranteed amount up to 180% of the relevant Subsidiary’s loan facility. In addition, the Company provided guarantees in connection with specific exposures, one in the amount of approximately euro 1.8 million (an amount that is gradually reduced to zero on January 1 of each of the years 2019-2021) and the second in amounts ranging between approximately euro 1.0 million up to a maximum of euro 1.5 million through the date the loans under the Facility Agreement are repaid in full.

The Facility Agreement provides that the Subsidiaries shall enter into interest swap agreements effective from the first repayment date of June 2018 for an amount equal to 75% of the overall amount of the term loan facilities. The Subsidiaries entered into the swap agreements on May 29, 2018 with respect to approximately Euro 25 million (with a decreasing notional principal amount based on the amortization table) until May 2028 , replacing the Euribor 6 month rate with a fixed 6 month rate of 0.71%, resulting in a fixed 6 month interest rate of 2.56%.

The Subsidiaries will use the funds borrowed under the Facility Agreement to repay outstanding loans and leasing agreements in the aggregate amount of approximately euro 13.2 million to be repaid upon drawdown.

Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: “This project finance agreement enables Ellomay to recycle existing debt at improved conditions, while leaving Ellomay with liquid resources for investment in the Talasol project that is in advanced stages towards financial closing.”

Exhibit 99.2

Ellomay Capital Reports Publication of Financial Results of Dorad Energy Ltd. for the Three Months

Ended March 31, 2018

Tel-Aviv, Israel, May 30, 2018 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe and Israel, today reported the publication in Israel of financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”), in which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 9.4%.

On May 16, 2018, Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (f/k/a U. Dori Group Ltd.) (the “Luzon Group”), an Israeli public company that currently holds 50% of U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (“Dori Energy”), which, in turn, holds 18.75% of Dorad, published certain information in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968, which included the financial statements of Dorad for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The financial results of Dorad for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Ellomay will include its indirect share of these results (through its holdings in Dori Energy) in its financial results for this period, which are currently expected to be published on or about June 21, 2018.  In an effort to provide Ellomay’s shareholders with access to Dorad’s financial results (which were published in Hebrew), Ellomay hereby provides a convenience translation of Dorad’s financial results.

Dorad Financial Highlights

· Dorad’s unaudited revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 - approximately NIS 684.9 million.

· Dorad’s unaudited operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 - approximately NIS 117.4 million.

Based on the information provided by Dorad, the demand for electricity by Dorad’s customers is seasonal and is affected by, inter alia, the climate prevailing in that season. The months of the year are split into three seasons as follows: the summer season – the months of July and August; the winter season - the months of December, January and February; and intermediate seasons – (spring and autumn), the months from March to June and from September to November. There is a higher hourly demand for electricity during the winter and summer seasons, and the average electricity consumption per hour is higher in these seasons than in the intermediate seasons and is even characterized by peak demands due to extreme climate conditions of heat or cold. In addition, Dorad’s revenues are affected by the change in load and time tariffs - TAOZ (an electricity tariff that varies across seasons and across the day in accordance with demand hour clusters), as, on average, TAOZ tariffs are higher in the summer season than in the intermediate and winter seasons. Therefore, the results presented for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which include the winter and intermediate months of January, February and March, are not indicative of full year results.

A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 is included at the end of this press release.Ellomay does not undertake to separately report Dorad’s financial results in a press release in the future. Neither Ellomay nor its independent public accountants have reviewed or consulted with the Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd., Dori Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.
