Item 1. Security and Issuer

The name of the issuer to which this Amendment No. 10 (as defined below) relates is Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (“Tower”). Its principal executive offices are located at Ramat Gavriel Industrial Park, P.O. Box 619, Migdal Haemek, 23105 Israel. This Amendment No. 10 relates to Tower’s Ordinary Shares, NIS 15.00 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). This constitutes Amendment No. 10 (“Amendment No. 10”) to Schedule 13D filed previously by the Reporting Person (as defined in Item 2 below).

The principal business address of the Reporting Person is 23 Aranha Street, Tel Aviv 61070 Israel. The principal business of the Reporting Person is a holding company.

During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor any of the executive officers or directors of the Reporting Person has been: (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors); or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Not applicable. This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed solely to report that the Reporting Person has disposed of all of the Tower Ordinary Shares that it previously held.

Also on January 7, 2015, the Reporting Person transferred to the account of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”) the shares of Kenon to be distributed to the Reporting Person’s shareholders on January 9, 2015. As a result, the Reporting Person no longer beneficially owns any Tower Ordinary Shares.
