About Kenon
Kenon is a holding company that operates dynamic, primarily growth-oriented businesses. The companies it owns, in whole or in part, are at various stages of development, ranging from established, cash-generating businesses to early stage development companies. Kenons businesses consist of:
| IC Power (100% interest) a leading owner, developer and operator of power generation and distribution facilities in the Latin American, Caribbean and Israeli power markets; |
| Qoros (50% interest) a China-based automotive company; |

Kenons primary focus is to grow and develop its primary businesses, IC Power and Qoros.
