(“ORMAT”), for the sale of a renewable asset portfolio in the US for a total consideration of 271 million US dollars, equivalent to approximately 255 million euros[1], subject to adjustments customary for these kinds of transactions. The portfolio consists of approximately 150 MW of operational geothermal and solar facilities.

The closing of the sale, which is expected in the forthcoming months, is subject to certain conditions precedent customary for these kinds of transactions, including the clearance from competent Antitrust authorities.
