Kenon Announces Issuance of New Shares by its Subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. in a Private Placement

Kenon Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) (“Kenon”) announces that its subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd. (“OPC”) announced yesterday that OPC has agreed to issue and sell 5,849,093 new ordinary shares (representing approximately 4.02% of OPC’s issued and outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) at a price of NIS 26.5 per share, for total cash consideration of approximately NIS 155 million (approximately $44 million), to institutional investors through a private placement. Of the new shares to be sold, 566,038 new ordinary shares were sold to Migdal Insurance and Financial Holdings Ltd. (“Migdal”) (which will result in Migdal owning 8.64% of OPC’s issued and outstanding share capital after the private placement and 8.49% on a fully diluted basis), and the remainder of the new shares were sold to three institutional investors. The closing price of OPC’s shares on the TASE on August 22, 2019, the trading day preceding the sale, was NIS 27.17 per share. OPC announced that the proceeds of the sale are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

The sale will reduce Kenon’s interest in OPC from 72.93% to 69.94% (68.7% on a fully diluted basis).
