Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at September 30, 2020 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month and three-month periods then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with IAS 34 “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods”, and are also responsible for the preparation of financial information for these interim periods in accordance with Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial information for these interim periods based on our review.

Scope of the Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410, “Review of Financial Information for Interim Periods Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above‑mentioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34.

In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the above‑mentioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

Sincerely,

Somekh Chaikin
Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

The Reporting Entity


A.
The Reporting Entity

OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company’s registered address is 121 Menachem Begin Blvd., Tel‑Aviv, Israel. The Company is controlled by Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Parent Company”), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are “dual listed” for trading on both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel‑Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Stock Exchange”).

The Company is a publicly‑held company, and its securities are traded on the Stock Exchange. As at the date of the report, the Company and its subsidiaries, the financial statements of which are consolidated with those of the Company (hereinafter – “the Group”) are engaged in the area of generation of electricity and supply thereof to private customers and Israel Electric Company Ltd. (hereinafter – “IEC”), including initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and facilities for the generation of energy. As at the date of the report, the Group’s activities are carried on only in Israel. For details regarding an agreement for acquisition of the CPV Group (as it is defined in Note 7E) which is engaged in the area of generation of the electricity in the United States (including renewable energy), which was signed subsequent to the date of the report – see Note 7E. The Group’s electricity generation activities and the supply thereof focus on generation of electricity using conventional technology and cogeneration technology. The Group is also taking action to construct an open‑cycle power plant using conventional technology (a Peaker plant).

As at the date of the report, the Company owns two active power plants: the Rotem Power Plant, which is owned by OPC Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – “Rotem”) (which is held by the Company (80%) and by another shareholder (20%)), which operates using conventional technology having generation capacity of about 466 megawatts (MW) (for additional details regarding Rotem – see Note 6E); and the Hadera Power Plant which is owned by OPC Hadera Ltd. (hereinafter – “Hadera”), which runs using cogeneration technology and has an installed capacity of 144 MW, which on July 1, 2020 reached commercial operation – this being after receipt of a permanent electricity generation license and a supply license. For additional details regarding Hadera – see Note 6D. In addition, the Company wholly owns Zomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Zomet”), which is in the construction stages of a power plant powered by means of natural gas using conventional technology in an open cycle (a Peaker plant) having a capacity of about 396 MW, located proximate to the Plugot Intersection, in the area of Kiryat Gat, under Regulation 914 of the Electricity Authority. For additional details regarding Zomet – see Note 6C. In addition, the Company is taking action with respect to construction and operation of facilities for generation of energy on the customers’ premises – see Note 6B(5).

A.
The Reporting Entity (Cont.)

The Group’s activities are subject to regulation, including, among other things, the provisions of the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, resolutions of the Electricity Authority, the provisions of the Law for Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Business Concentration, 2013, the provisions of the Economic Competition Law, 1988, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and regulation in connection with licensing of businesses, planning and construction, and environmental quality (protection). The Electricity Authority is authorized to issue licenses under the Electricity Sector Law (licenses for facilities having a generation capacity in excess of 100 MW also require approval of the Minister of Energy), supervise the license holders (including supply licenses and private generation licenses), determine tariffs and provide benchmarks for the level, nature and quality of the services that are required from a holder of a “Essential Service Provider” license. Accordingly, the Electricity Authority supervises both Israel Electric Company (IEC) and private electricity generators.

The Group’s activities are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of changes in the official Time of Use of Electricity Tariff (hereinafter – “the TAOZ”), which is regulated and published by the Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into 3 seasons: “summer” (July and August), “winter” (December, January and February) and “transition” (March through June and September through November) and for each season a different tariff is set. The Company’s results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, and as a result there is a seasonal effect.


B.
Impacts of the Spread of the Coronavirus

At the end of 2019 and in the first quarter of 2020, there was a spread in China and thereafter throughout the world of the Coronavirus (COVID‑19), which in March 2020 was declared as a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization (hereinafter – “the Coronavirus Crisis”). Due to the Coronavirus Crisis, in the period of the Report and thereafter, movement (traffic) restrictions and restrictions on business activities were imposed by the State of Israel and countries throughout the world. In addition, the said Coronavirus crisis has caused, among other things, uncertainty and instability in the Israeli and global financial markets and economy. As at the date of the report, the operations of the Company’s active power plants, Rotem Power Plant and Hadera Power Plant are continuing as a result of their being “essential enterprises” while safeguarding the work teams and taking precautionary measures in order to prevent outbreak and spreading of the infection at the Company’s sites. As at the publication date of the Report, the Coronavirus crisis had not had a significant impact on the Company’s results and activities.

B.
Impacts of the Spread of the Coronavirus (Cont.)

The Coronavirus Crisis and the movement restrictions, as referred to above, have impacted the Group’s activities, as stated below:


Due to the continued travel restrictions, both in Israel and worldwide, along with the need for equipment from overseas, the Company estimates that construction of the Zomet Power Plant could extend beyond the end of 2022, and as at the publication date of the report, completion is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2023. For details regarding revision of the Zomet Power Plant construction agreement – see Note 6C(4).


In March 2020, the maintenance contractor of the Rotem Power Plant (hereinafter – “Mitzubishi”) gave notice that in light of the restrictions on entry and the quarantine rules of the State of Israel, the maintenance work (hereinafter – “the Maintenance Work”) that was planned to be performed for the Rotem Power Plant in April 2020 will be postponed to October 2020. Mitzubishi’s position, which was rejected by Roterm, is that the above‑mentioned circumstances constitute “force majeure” pursuant to the provisions of the agreement with it. In April 2020, Rotem shut down the power plant for a number of days in order to perform internally‑initiated technical tests and treatments. The shutdown for several days and the postponement of the maintenance date, as stated, did not have a significant impact on the generation activities of the Rotem Power Plant and its results. In light of postponement of the date of the Maintenance Work in March 2020, Rotem slowed the reduction (amortization) of the maintenance component in the Rotem Power Plant. The impact of the slowing of the reduction (amortization) on the results of the activities in the period of the report amounted to about NIS 5 million. Subsequent to the date of the report, in October 2020, the Maintenance Work was performed, the execution of which required 13 days, as planned, during which time the activities of the Rotem Power Plant were halted.

Note 2  –
Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements


A.
Declaration of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods” and do not include all of the information required in complete, annual financial statements. These statements should be read together with the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 (hereinafter – “the Annual Financial Statements”). In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.

The condensed, consolidated, interim financial statements were approved for publication by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 17, 2020.


B.
Functional and presentation currency

The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the principal economic environment in which the Group operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the functional currency of the Group. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.


C.
Use of estimates and judgment

In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS, Company management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results are likely to be different than these estimates.

Management’s judgment, at the time of implementing the Group’s accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements, except for that stated in Note 1 regarding update of the estimate of the balance of the remaining useful life of various components in light of postponement of the Maintenance Work at Rotem Power Plant, and in Note 3.


D.
Reclassification

In the period of the report, the Company classified business development expenses that were previously presented in the “administrative and general expenses” category in a separate category in the statement of income. Accordingly, the Company reclassified from the “administrative and general expenses” category to the “business development expenses” category the amounts of NIS 5,353 thousand, NIS 2,333 thousand and NIS 6,938 thousand for the nine‑month and three‑month periods ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Significant Accounting Policies


A.
The Group’s accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the accounting policies applied in the Annual Financial Statements.


B.
First-time application of new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations


1.
Amendment to IFRS 3 “” Business Combinations” (hereinafter – “the Amendment”)

The Amendment clarifies whether a transaction to acquire activities is the acquisition of a “business” or an asset. For purposes of this examination, the Amendment added the possibility of utilizing the concentration test so that if substantially all of the fair value of the acquired assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the acquisition will be of an asset. In addition, the minimum requirements for definition as a business have been clarified, such as for example the requirement that the acquired processes be substantive so that in order for it to be a business, the operation shall include at least one input element and one substantive process, which together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Furthermore, the Amendment narrows the reference to the outputs element required in order to meet the definition of a business and examples were added illustrating the aforesaid examination. The Amendment is effective for transactions to acquire an asset or business for which the acquisition date is in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.


2.
Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Reform of Benchmark Interest Rates” (hereinafter – “the Amendments”)

The Amendments include a number of mandatory leniencies that are relevant to examination of the effectiveness of hedge accounting ratios that are impacted by uncertainty deriving from reform of the IBOR interest rates (this reform is intended to result in cancellation of interest rates such as LIBOR and EURIBOR). For example:


Determination of the probability of occurrence of the hedged cash flows is to be based on the existing contractual cash flows and future changes due to the IBOR reform are to be ignored.


When examining prospective effectiveness, account is to be taken of the existing contractual conditions of the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and the uncertainty deriving from the reform is to be ignored.

2.
Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Reform of Benchmark Interest Rates” (hereinafter – “the Amendments”) (Cont.)

The Amendments were applied retroactively commencing from January 1, 2020. The leniencies included as part of the Amendments will be discontinued prospectively at the earlier of: clarification of the uncertainty arising from the reform or the date on which the hedge ratios are discontinued.

In the Group’s estimation, application of the Amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.


C.
New standards and amendments to standards not yet adopted


1.
Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‑Current”

The Amendment replaces certain classification requirements of liabilities as current or non‑current. For example, pursuant to the Amendment, a liability will be classified as non‑current where an entity has a right to postpone the payment for a period of at least 12 months after the period of the report, which is “material” and exists at the end of the period of the report. A right exists as at the date of the report only if an entity is in compliance with the conditions for postponement of the payment as at this date. In addition, the Amendment clarifies that a conversion right of a liability will impact is classification as current or non‑current, unless the conversion component is capital.

The Amendment will enter into effect for reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2023. Early application is permissible. The Amendment is to be applied retroactively, including adjustment of the comparative data.

The Group has not yet commenced examination of the impacts of application of the Amendment on the financial statements.


2.
Amendment to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Receipts prior to Intended Use”

The Amendment cancels the requirement whereby in calculation of the costs that may be attributed directly to property, plant and equipment, a reduction is to be made from the costs of testing the proper functioning of the asset for the net proceeds from sale of any items produced in the process (such as samples produced at the time of testing the equipment). Instead, the said proceeds are to be recognized in the statement of income in accordance with the relevant standards and the cost of the items sold is to be measured pursuant to the measurement requirements of IAS 2 “Inventory”.

2.
Amendment to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Receipts prior to Intended Use” (Cont.)

The Amendment will enter into effect for reporting periods commencing on January 1, 2022 or thereafter. Early application is permissible. The Amendment is to be applied retroactively, including revision of the comparative data, but only for items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and position required for them to be able to function in the manner contemplated by management after the earliest reporting period presented on the initial application date of the Amendment. The cumulative impact of the Amendment will adjust the opening balance of the retained earnings of the earliest reporting period presented.

The Group has not yet commenced examining the impacts of the Amendment on the financial statements.


3.
Amendment to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets – Contract Performance Costs”

Pursuant to the Amendment, when examining whether a contract is onerous, the costs for performance of the contract that are to be taken into account are costs relating directly to the contract, which include the following costs:


Incremental costs; and


Allocation of other costs relating directly to the contract (such as depreciation expenses on property, plant and equipment used to perform this contract and other additional contracts).

The Amendment is to be applied retrospectively, commencing on January 1, 2022, for contracts the entity has not yet completed its obligations in respect thereof. Early application is permissible. Upon initial application of the Amendment, the entity is not to restate the comparative data but, rather, it is to adjust the opening balance of the retained earnings on the initial application date, in the amount of the cumulative impact of the Amendment.

The Group has not yet commenced examining the impacts of the Amendment on the financial statements.

Financial Instruments (Cont.)

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, using the Level 2 valuation method. The fair value is measured using the discounted future cash flows method, on the basis of observable data.

In addition, the Company enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments in order to hedge foreign currency risks and risks of changes in the CPI. Derivative financial instruments are recorded based on their fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is based on prices, rates and interest rates that are received from banks, brokers and through customary trading software. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is estimated on the basis of the data received, using valuation and pricing techniques that are characteristic of the various instruments in the different markets. The fair value measurement of long-term derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the cash flows deriving from them, based on the terms and maturity of each instrument and using market interest rates for similar instruments as at the measurement date. Changes in the economic assumptions and the valuation techniques could materially affect the fair value of the instruments.

Set forth below is data regarding the representative rates of exchange of the United States dollar (hereinafter – “the dollar”) and the euro and the Consumer Price Index (CPI):

General


1.
In January 2020, the decision of the Electricity Authority entered into effect regarding update of the electricity tariffs for 2020, whereby the rate of the generation component was reduced by 8% from NIS 290.9 per MWh to NIS 267.8 per MWh. The decline in the generation component, as stated, had a negative impact on the Company’s income in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year.


2.
In February 2020, the Electricity Authority published its Decision from Meeting 573, held on January 27, 2020, regarding Amendment of Standards in connection with Deviations from the Consumption Plans (hereinafter – “the Decision”). Pursuant to the Decision, a supplier is not permitted to sell to its consumers more than the amount of the capacity that is the subject of all the undertakings it has entered into with holders of private generation licenses. In addition, the Authority indicates in the notes (clarifications) to the Decision that it is expected that the supplier will enter into private transactions with consumers in a scope that permits it to supply all their consumption from energy that is generated by private generators over the entire year. Actual consumption of energy at a rate in excess of 3% from the installed capacity allocated to the supplier will trigger payment of an annual tariff that reflects the annual cost of the capacity the supplier used as a result of the deviation, as detailed in the Decision (hereinafter – “the Annual Payment in respect of Deviation from the Capacity”). In addition, the Decision provides a settlement mechanism in respect of a deviation from the daily consumption plan (surpluses and deficiencies), which will apply concurrent with the annual payment in respect of a deviation from the capacity. Application of the Decision is commencing from September 1, 2020.

According to the Decision, the said amendment will apply to Rotem only after determination of supplemental arrangements for Rotem, which as the date of the Report had not yet been determined, and the Company is closely monitoring this matter. Therefore, as the approval date of the financial statements there is no certainty regarding the extent of the unfavorable impact of the Decision, if any, on the Company’s activities.


3.
In the nine‑month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Group acquired property, plant and equipment not for cash, in the amounts of about NIS 5 million and about NIS 40 million, respectively.

Pursuant to that stated in the Initial Assessment and for purposes of completion of the land transaction and receipt of the building permit (which was received in January 2020 and is required in order to receive approval for the financial close as described above), Zomet, in the name of the Joint Company and by means of the Kibbutz, arranged payment of the Initial Assessment in January 2020 at the rate of 75% of amount of the Initial Assessment and provided through the Company, the balance, at the rate of 25%, as a bank guarantee in favor of ILA. For details regarding a short‑term loan the Company took out in order to pay the Initial Assessment, as stated, – see Note 6B(2). It is noted that the assessment is preliminary and there is no certainty regarding the amount of the final assessment that will be received. Pursuant to the arrangement with ILA, the Company will be permitted to contest the amount of the assessment when the final assessment is received after the conclusion of the required control processes. The Company intends to examine filing of a contest of the final assessment on the relevant dates. Furthermore, in April 2020, the Company provided a bank guarantee, in the amount of about NIS 12.5 million, for the benefit of the Taxes Authority in Israel, which was cancelled in September 2020.

In addition, further to that stated in Note 24A(3) to the Annual Financial Statements, regarding imposition of development levies to the Shafir Local Council (hereinafter – “the Council”), in January 2020 the Council sent Zomet a charge notification in respect of calculation of the levies, in the amount of NIS 36.5 million, of which in December 2019 the amount of NIS 13 million, which is not in dispute, was paid. In March 2020, Zomet filed an administrative petition against the Council in respect of the amount in dispute, as stated. As part of its response to the petition, the Council updated the amount of the development levies, to the amount of about NIS 34 million. The amount in dispute, in the amount of about NIS 21 million, is secured by a bank guarantee, which was provided by the Company for Zomet for the benefit of the Council. As at the publication date of the Report, a decision regarding the matter had not yet been received. In Zomet’s estimation, based on an opinion of its legal advisors, it is more reasonable than not that Zomet will not be required to pay an additional amount beyond the amount it paid in respect of the development levies and, accordingly, no provision was included in the financial statements.

In January 2020, Zomet signed an agreement with Israel Electric Company (IEC) for acquisition of available capacity and energy and provision of infrastructure services. In November 2020, IEC assigned the agreement to The System Management Company Ltd. As part of the agreement, Zomet undertook to sell energy and available capacity from its facility to IEC, and IEC committed to provide Zomet infrastructure services and management services for the electricity system, including back‑up services in accordance with the provisions of the agreement.

The agreement will remain in effect up to the end of the period in which Zomet is permitted to sell available capacity and energy in accordance with the provisions of its generation license (that is, up to the end of 20 years from the commercial operation date of Zomet). Nonetheless, in a case where IEC will be prevented from acquiring available capacity and energy due non‑extension of its license or receipt of an alternative license, the agreement will come to an end on the date on which the preventing factor, as stated, occurs. The agreement provides that Zomet will allot all of the power plant’s capacity to a fixed availability arrangement, where a condition for acquisition of fixed availability will be compliance with mandatory criteria, as stipulated in Regulation 914. The power plant will be operated based on the directives of the System Administrator, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 914. Furthermore, the agreement includes provisions that cover connection of the power plant to the electricity grid, provisions relating to the planning, construction and maintenance of the power plant, and provisions addressing acquisition of the power plant’s available capacity. The agreement provides, among other things, that the System Administrator will be permitted to disconnect supply of the electricity to the electricity grid if Zomet does not comply with the safety provisions as provided by law or a safety provision of the System Administrator that were delivered to it in advance and in writing. In addition, Zomet committed to comply with the availability and credibility requirements stipulated in its license and in Regulation 914, and to pay for non‑compliance therewith, in accordance with that provided in Regulation 914.

Hadera


1.
On June 30, 2020, the Electricity Authority decided to grant a permanent license for generation of electricity to the Hadera Power Plant, a power plant using cogeneration technology having installed capacity off 144 MW and granting of a supply license (hereinafter – “the Licenses”). The Licenses are for a period of 20 years, which may be extended for an additional period of 10 years by the Electricity Authority and with approval of the Minister of Energy, which entered into effect after approval of the Minister of Energy on July 1, 2020. Hadera provided bank guarantees for the benefit of the Electricity Authority, in the amount of about NIS 4.5 million (some of which are linked to the dollar) as required by the Licenses, and a bank guarantee in favor of Israel Electric Company, in the amount of about NIS 27 million (linked to the dollar), as required in accordance with the benchmarks of the Electricity Authority.

It is noted that during the first year of activities, replacements or renovations of certain parts of the gas and steam turbines are expected to be executed by the head equipment contractor, which are expected to last for a period of about a month (cumulative), during which time the Hadera Power Plant will be operated on a partial basis. As at the date of the report, most of the replacement or renovations of certain parts of the gas and steam turbines had not yet been performed.


2.
Further to that stated in Note 25G to the Annual Financial Statements, in March 2020, the preconditions provided in the amendment to Hadera’s natural gas supply agreement with the Tamar Group were fulfilled.


3.
In the period of the report, Hadera withdrew about NIS 64 million from the framework amount in accordance with its financing agreement, as described in Note 15C(2) to the Annual Financial Statements. The interest rates on the amounts withdrawn in the period of the report range between about 2.4% and about 2.6% on the CPI‑linked loans an between about 3.6% and about 3.8% on the unlinked loans. In addition, in the period of the report Hadera made three payments based on the repayment schedule included in its financing agreement, in the amounts of about NIS 26 million in respect of principal and about NIS 22 million, in respect of interest. The said debt repayment was made partly out of sources the Company provided to Hadera.


4.
Further to that stated in Note 25D to the Annual Financial Statements, pursuant to the construction agreement Hadera is entitled to receive agreed compensation from the construction contractor in respect of the delay in completion of the construction of the Hadera Power Plant (hereinafter – “the Compensation”). In Hadera’s estimation, as at the date of the report the amount of the Compensation due to it is about NIS 80 million (about $23 million). In addition, in accordance with the construction agreement, Hadera has a contractual right to offset every amount due to it under the construction agreement, including the amount of the Compensation, against amounts it owes the construction contractor.

In July 2020, upon completion of the construction of the Hadera Power Plant, a request was received from the construction contractor for the final milestone payment in accordance with the construction agreement, in the amount of about NIS 48 million.

In Hadera’s estimation, it has an unconditional contractual right to receive the Compensation as stated and it is more likely than not that its position will be accepted. Accordingly and based on the right of offset, as stated, Hadera offset the payment in respect of the final milestone against the Compensation it contends it is entitled to, such that as at the date of the report, the balance of the Compensation receivable is about NIS 31 million.

In addition, the construction contractor has further contentions regarding the final settlement pursuant to the construction agreement. In Hadara’s view, the construction contractor is not entitled to additional payments pursuant to the construction agreement and it “is more likely than not” that Hadera will not be charged for additional payments in this connection. Therefore, no provision has been included in the financial statements.

The exercise price of each of the options issued is NIS 30.28 (unlinked). The exercise price is subject to certain adjustments, including in respect of distribution of dividends, issuance of rights, etc.

The average fair value of each option granted was estimate proximate to the issuance date, using the Black and Scholes model, at NIS 12.98 per option. The calculation is based on a standard deviation of 36.65%, a risk‑free interest rate of 0.25% to 0.43% and an expected life of 4 to 6 years. The fair value of the restricted share units (RSUs) was estimated based on the price of a Company share on October 25, 2020, which was NIS 35.24.

The cost of the benefit embedded in the securities offered amounted to about NIS 740 thousand. This amount will be recorded in the statement of income over the vesting period of each tranche.
