Execution of a Letter of Appointment for a Prospective Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contractor in connection with the Manara Project
Ellomay Capital Ltd. (the “Company”), hereby announces that Ellomay Pumped Storage (2014) Ltd. (in which the Company indirectly owns 75% and which is advancing the construction of the 156 MW pumped hydro storage plant in the Manara Cliff, Israel (the “Manara Project”)), executed a letter of appointment (the “Letter”) with two companies that are subsidiaries of, and controlled by, Electra Ltd. (TASE: ELTR) (such subsidiaries, collectively, “Electra”).
The Letter provides for the appointment of Electra, on an exclusive basis, as the main contractor for the Manara Project. The Letter provides a contract price of approximately $300 million, all subject to an indexation mechanism. The parties to the Letter undertake to continue their good faith negotiations in order to reach a final form for an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (the “EPC Contract”). The Letter is effective until September 30, 2019, subject to earlier termination in accordance with its terms.
The execution of the EPC Contract is subject to the parties reaching an understanding in connection with open commercial issues, the receipt of requisite corporate approvals and the approval of the financing entity of the Manara Project. The performance of the EPC Contract is further subject to the financial closing of the Manara Project, currently estimated to occur during the first quarter of 2019. There is no assurance that the parties to the Letter will reach an understanding and execute an EPC Contract or that the Manara Project will obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
