Exhibit 99.1
Kenon Announces the Approval of its Capital Reduction In Respect of its Distribution of Certain Tower Securities
For immediate release
Singapore, June 29, 2015
On May 27, 2015, Kenon Holdings Ltd.s (Kenon) shareholders approved a capital reduction, contingent upon the approval of the High Court of the Republic of Singapore, to enable Kenon to distribute, on a pro rata basis, some, or all, of the 18,030,041 ordinary shares of Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Tower) held by Kenon, as well as 1,669,795 ordinary shares of Tower underlying the 1,669,795 Series 9 Warrants of Tower held by Kenon.
On June 25, 2015, the High Court of the Republic of Singapore approved the reduction of Kenons issued share capital, enabling Kenon to declare a distribution of some, or all, of its interest in Tower.
Once determined, Kenon will announce the number of Tower shares to be distributed, a record date, and a distribution date by submitting a Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), which Form 6-K will be incorporated by reference into the Proxy and Information Statement, dated as of May 1, 2015, and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Kenons Report on Form 6-K, dated as of May 1, 2015 (the Proxy and Information Statement), and by notifying the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, as appropriate.
The distribution is one of the first key steps in the implementation of Kenons strategy, and will provide Kenons shareholders with direct access to Tower, which Kenon believes is in the best interests of its shareholders. Completion of the distribution remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, as set forth in the Proxy and Information Statement.
