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 March 31, 2021 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and Management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of financial information for this interim period in accordance with IAS 34 “Financial Reporting for Interim Periods”, and are also responsible for the preparation of financial information for this interim period 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 this interim period 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.)

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1  –
General


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’s consolidated interim financial statements as at March 31, 2021 include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as rights in associated companies (hereinafter – “the Group”).

The Company is a publicly‑held company, and its securities are traded on the stock exchange. As at the date of the report (commencing from January 2021), the Group is engaged in two reportable business segments: (1) generation and supply of electricity and energy in Israel; and (2) maintenance, development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (powered by natural gas) power plants in the United States. In these activity segments, the Group is engaged in generation and supply of electricity and energy to private customers, Israel Electric Company Ltd. (hereinafter – “IEC”) and the System Administrator, in initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and facilities for the generation of energy and provision of management services for power plants in the United States that are owned by third parties. The Group manages its activities in Israel under one operational roof and its activities in the United States under another operational roof by means of the CPV Group (as described in Note 6).

The Reporting Entity (Cont.)

In Israel, the Group operates 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); the Hadera Power Plant, which is wholly owned by OPC Hadera Ltd. (hereinafter – “Hadera”), which operates using cogeneration technology and having an installed capacity of up to 144 MW. Furthermore, Hadera holds the Energy Center (boilers and turbines on the site of Hadera Paper Mills Ltd.), which serves as back‑up for the supply of steam. In addition, the Company holds full ownership of Zomet Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “Zomet”), which is taking action to construct a power plant which runs 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. Furthermore, the Company is taking action to construct and operate facilities for generation of energy on the consumer’s premises, which generate electricity using natural gas and renewable energy, and arrangements for supply and sale of energy to consumers, and it has signed an agreement whereby it will supply the equipment and will construct, operate and maintain the Sorek B Generation Facility and will supply the energy required by the Sorek B Desalination Facility, as stated in Note 24A(10) to the annual financial statements.

The Group’s activities in Israel 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.

In the United States, the Group operates through the CPV Group, which is held by the Company (indirectly) at the rate of 70%, power plants in the conventional area powered by natural gas (of the open‑cycle type from an advanced generation) and in the area of renewable energy. As at the approval date of the financial statements, CPV’s share of the natural gas-powered power plants is about 1,290 megawatts out of 4,045 megawatts (5 power plants), and in wind energy CPV’s share is about 152 megawatts (1 power plant).

In addition, the CPV Group holds rights in power plants running on natural gas and using solar technology in the construction stages having a capacity of about 1,258 megawatts and 126 megawatts, respectively (CPV’s share as at the approval date of the financial statements is about 126 megawatts and 126 megawatt, respectively). In addition, the CPV Group has a list (backlog) of projects using solar (photovoltaic) technology in advanced development stages having an aggregate scope of about 1,164 megawatts, and a number of projects in the initial development stage having an aggregate scope of about 943 megawatts. Furthermore, the CPV Group holds a list of projects using wind technology in the initiation stage having an aggregate scope of about 175 megawatts and projects using integrated cycle technology in the advanced development stages having an aggregate scope of about 3,955 megawatts.

The electricity market in the United States has both Federal oversight (wholesale sale of electricity and interstate transmission) and State oversight (retail sale of electricity and distribution services to end consumers). The primary federal regulator is Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), alongside separate state-level Public Service Commissions exercising additional regulatory oversight. The electric marketplace in the United States operates within the framework of several regional or state market operators, known as Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO) or Independent System Operator (ISO). ISOs/RTOs are responsible for the day‑to‑day operation of the transmission system, the administration of the wholesale markets in the regions in which they operate, and for the long-term transmission planning and resource adequacy functions.

The activities of the CPV Group are subject to, among other things changes in federal and state legislation, federal and state energy regulations and federal and state environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws impact the ability of the facilities of the CPV Group to operate, the prices of the products they produce and the costs and charges involved with their production. Therefore, regulations, laws and decisions of the federal and state authorities, particularly public service committees, a federal energy regulatory committee and environmental protection authorities, have a direct and indirect impact on the CPV Group’s activities.

The revenues of the CPV Group from generation of electricity are seasonal and are impacted by variable demand, gas prices and electricity prices, as well as the weather. In general, with respect to plants running on natural gas, there is higher profitability in periods of the year wherein the temperatures are the highest and the lowest, which are usually in the summer and the winter.


B.
Impacts of the Spread of the Coronavirus

Due to the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID‑19) (“the Coronavirus Crisis”) in 2020 and 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.

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

The operations of the Company’s active power plants in Israel, as well as the construction of the Zomet power plant, are continuing in the “restrictions’ period” 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. The continuity of the construction work on the Zomet Power Plant or the renovation work at the Hadera Power Plant could be impacted by the traffic (movement) limitations due to the Coronavirus Crisis in light of the need for arrival of equipment and foreign work teams. As at the date of the report, the Coronavirus Crisis did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results and activities in Israel.

Spread of the virus and infections at the Company’s power plants and other sites, continuation of the Coronavirus Crisis for an extended period, a significant impact of the Coronavirus Crisis on main suppliers (such as, suppliers of natural gas, construction and maintenance contractors) or the Group’s main customers, could have an unfavorable impact on the Company’s activities and results, as well as on its ability to complete construction projects on time or at all and/or on its ability to execute future projects.

Upon approval of use of the vaccine against the Coronavirus by the competent authorities of every country at the end of 2020, along with vaccination of the population based on age groups (at an accelerated rate in Israel compared with other countries) and removal of limitations in the period of the report, in the period of the report new mutations of the virus broke out that caused a quick spread of the virus in many countries and a tightening of traffic restrictions along with additional restrictions in order to prevent spread of the virus, including continuation of the restrictions on business activities. As at the date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the success of the vaccination activities against spread of the virus in Israel and worldwide development of additional mutations.

The spread of the Coronavirus had a significant impact on the economy and financial markets in the USA and the world. The activities of the power plants of the CPV Group continued during the Coronavirus crisis, after making certain adjustments as stated below. The Coronavirus crisis caused a change in the time schedules for the shifts of the employees of the CPV Group, a reduction of self‑initiated shutdowns for purposes of periodic maintenance, extension of the length of the unplanned periodic maintenance period, adaptations on the part of the Group with respect to employees working from home and other adaptations required in the work-place. Also, the Group was and continues to be required to make adjustments relating to information security at the power plants. In addition, the Corona crisis affects the availability of suppliers and factors involved in the development and construction processes of CPV Group's projects.

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

It is noted that as at the approval date of this report there is no certainty relating to the duration of the Coronavirus crisis, its force (scope) and its impacts on the markets or on factors relating to CPV’s activities, and therefore the CPV Group is not able to estimate with any degree of certainty and completeness the impact of the Coronavirus crisis. The outbreak of the virus and the (possible) spread thereof at the power plants of the CPV Group or restrictions on conducting business in the areas in which it operates, as well as the measures taken and that will be taken worldwide as a result thereof – which has impacted the economy and commodity markets in the U.S., in general, and the prices of electricity and natural gas, in particular – could impact CPV’s activities (even significantly), thwart completion of the project under construction (as detailed in Note 7A) and delay advancement of CPV’s projects under development, and could also impact the ability to actually commence execution of its future projects.

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 International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – “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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 (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 May 27, 2021.


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 Statement, except as stated below.

C.
Use of estimates and judgment (Cont.)

Allocation of acquisition costs – the Group calculates estimates with respect to allocation of excess cost to tangible and intangible assets and to liabilities. In addition, in determination of the depreciation rates of the tangible, intangible assets and liabilities, the Group estimates the expected life of the asset or liability. These estimates are based on, among other things, an independent appraiser.


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 amount of NIS 2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

1.
Basis of consolidation

Business combinations

The Group implements the acquisition method to all business combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control over the acquiree. Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. Substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account when assessing control. On the acquisition date the acquirer recognizes a contingent liability assumed in a business combination if there is a present obligation resulting from past events and its fair value can be reliably measured. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of the assets transferred to the previous owners of the acquiree, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the previous owners of the acquiree and equity instruments that were issued by the Group. In addition, goodwill is not updated in respect of utilization of tax loss carryforwards that existed on the date of the business combination.

Costs associated with the acquisition incurred by the acquirer in respect of a business combination, such as: brokers’ commissions, consultants’ commissions, legal commissions, valuations and other commissions relating to professional services or consulting services, except for those relating to issuance of debt or equity instruments in connection with the business combination, are recognized as expenses in the period in which the services were received.

Goodwill

The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred less the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset based on its cost, and is measured in succeeding periods based on its cost less accrued losses from impairment of value.

For purposes of examining impairment of value, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash‑generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergy of the business combination. Cash‑generating units to which goodwill was allocated are examined for purposes of assessment of impairment of their value every year or more frequently where there are signs indicating a possible impairment of value of the unit, as stated. Where the recoverable amount of a cash‑generating unit is less than the carrying value in the books of that cash‑generating unit, the loss from impairment of value is allocated first to reduction of the carrying value in the books of any goodwill attributed to that cash‑generating unit. Thereafter, the balance of the loss from impairment of value, if any, is allocated to other assets of the cash‑generating unit, in proportion to their carrying values in the books. A loss from impairment of value of goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Investment in associated companies

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is the power to participate in making of decisions relating to the financial and operational policies of the investee company. In assessing significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.

Investments in associated companies are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to an expected acquisition of an associate or joint venture are recognized as an asset as part of the item of deferred expenses in the statement of financial position. These costs are added to the cost of the investment on the acquisition date. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses in profit or loss and of other comprehensive income of associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. Where the Group realizes part of an investment that is an associated company that includes foreign activities while maintaining significant influence, the proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the exchange rate differences is reclassified to the statement of income.

Foreign currency

Foreign activities

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to NIS at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to NIS at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and are presented in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve (hereinafter – “translation reserve”). When the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, then the relevant proportionate share of the foreign operation translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests.

Generally, foreign currency differences from loans received from or provided to a foreign operation, including foreign operations that are subsidiaries, are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from loans received from or provided to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are presented within equity as part of the translation reserve.

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


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”.

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.

Amendment to IAS 12, Income Tax: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The amendment reduces the applicability of the exemption from recognition of deferred taxes as a result of provisional differences created on the date of initial recognition of assets and/or liabilities, so that such exemption will not apply to transactions that create equal and offset provisional differences. As a result, entities will be required to recognize a deferred tax asset or liability in respect of such provisional differences on the date of initial recognition of transactions that create equal and offset provisional differences, such as lease transactions and provisions for dissolution and rehabilitation.

The amendment will be applied from the annual reporting period starting on January 1, 2023, by amending the opening balance of excesses or as an adjustment to the other equity item in a period in which the amendment is adopted. It will be applied as early as possible.

The Group has not yet started examining the implications of the amendment on its 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.

The Group 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.

In addition, in the reporting period, loans used to acquire the CPV Group and loans that were initially consolidated as part of the business combination were added to the Group. These loans are the same or near to their fair value in light of the short period since the acquisition of the CPV Group and the variable interest rates in some of the loans.

Business Combination Occurring in the Period of the Report

Further to that stated in Note 25L to the annual consolidated financial statements, on January 25, 2021 the transaction was completed for acquisition of 70% of the rights and holdings in the CPV Group (hereinafter – “the Transaction Completion Date”). The transaction was executed through a limited partnership, CPV Group LP (hereinafter – “the Purchaser”), which is held, indirectly, by the Company (about 70% as a limited partner). The entities in the CPV Group acquired are: CPV Power Holdings LP (hereinafter – “CPVPH”); Competitive Power Ventures Inc. (hereinafter – “CPVI”); and CPV Renewable Energy Company Inc. (hereinafter – “CPVREC”) (CPVPH, CPVI and CPVREC will be referred to hereinafter together as – “the CPV Group”).

The CPV Group is engaged in the development, construction and management of power plants using renewable energy and conventional energy (power plants running on natural gas of the advanced‑generation combined‑cycle type) in the United States through subsidiaries and associated companies. The CPV Group holds rights in active power plants that it initiated and developed – both in the area of conventional energy and in the area of renewable energy. In addition, through an asset management group the CPV Group is engaged in provision of management services to power plants in the United States using a range of technologies and fuel types, by means of signing asset‑management agreements, usually for short/medium periods.

Business Combination Occurring in the Period of the Report (Cont.)

On the Transaction Completion Date, in accordance with the mechanism for determination of the consideration as defined in the acquisition agreement, the Buyer paid the Sellers a consideration that was set at the total amount of about $648 million (constituting a purchase price of $630 million and certain adjustments to working capital, the cash balance and the debt balance), and about $5 million for a deposit, in the same amount, which remains in the CPV Group. Subsequent to the date of the report, in May 2021, the consideration for the CPV Group acquisition transaction was adjusted, as a result of which the Sellers paid CPV Group an immaterial amount. It is noted that in respect of an interest of 17.5% in the rights in Three Rivers construction project (hereinafter – “the Construction Project”), a sellers’ loan, in the amount of $95 million (hereinafter – “the Sellers’ Loan”) was provided to the CPVH Group. The Seller’s Loan is for a period of up to two years from the Transaction Completion Date, bears interest at the annual rate of 4.5%, which is to be paid quarterly and is secured by a lien on shares of the holding company that owns the rights in the project under construction and rights pursuant to the management agreement of the project under construction. For details regarding changes in the holdings in the project and in the Seller’s loan in the period of the report – see Note 7A.

The Company partially hedged its exposure to changes in the cash flows from payments in dollars in connection with the agreement for acquisition of the CPV Group by means of forward transactions and dollar deposits. The Company chose to designate the forward transactions as an accounting hedge. On the completion date of the transaction, the Company recorded the amount of about NIS 103 million that was accrued in a hedge capital reserve to the cost of the investment in the CPV Group. This cost was recorded in the “goodwill” category and increased the cost of the acquisition by about $32 million.

The contribution of the CPV Group to the Group’s revenues and loss from the acquisition date and up to March 31, 2021 amounted to NIS 26 million and NIS 36 million, respectively. Management estimates that if the acquisition had already been made as at January 1, 2021, the amount of the revenues in the consolidated statement of income for the three‑months period ended March 31, 2021 would have been NIS 391 million and the consolidated income for that period would have been NIS 7 million.

Determination of fair value of provisionally identified assets and liabilities:
Acquisition of the CPV Group was accounted for according to the provisions of IFRS 3, Business Combinations. Therefore, on the Transaction Completion Date, the Company included the CPV Group’s net assets at fair value. By the approval date of the financial statements, the Company had not yet completed allocation of the acquisition cost to the identified assets and liabilities, in light of the short time from the date of the business combination to the date approval of the proforma financial statements. As a result, some of the fair value figures are still provisional and there may be changes that will affect the data included in these financial statements.

Note 7  –
Associated Companies (Cont.)

Set forth below is detail of main agreements of the associated companies (hereinafter – “the Project Companies”) in the CPV Group:


D.
Loans of the project companies in the CPV Group:

Each CPV project company has arranged senior debt under similar, single asset, non-recourse, project financing structures. At financial closing, debt and equity capital is committed in an amount sufficient to fund the project’s projected capital costs during construction, along with revolving ancillary credit facilities. The ancillary credit facilities are provided by a subset of the project’s lenders and are comprised of letter of credit (LC) facilities, which support collateral obligations under the financing arrangements and commercial arrangements, and a working capital revolver facility, which supports the project’s ancillary credit needs. The senior credit facilities are generally structured such that subject to certain conditions precedent, they convert from construction facilities to long‑term facilities (term loans) with maturity dates generally tied to the term of the commercial agreements anchoring projected operating cash flows. For the gas-fired projects, the tenors generally span the construction period plus 5-7 years after commercial operations (hereinafter – “Mini‑Perm Financing”).  The Mini‑Perm Financing is repaid based on the combination of scheduled amortization and result-based metrics, which in the aggregate, result in a partial repayment profile with a balance at maturity that must be refinanced or repaid.

The practice of the CPV Group is to opportunistically refinance the credit facilities depending on market conditions and in all cases prior to the scheduled maturity. The credit facilities in place during construction are sourced from consortiums of international financiers (10-20 in each gas fired project, fewer for renewables projects with lower capital needs) and executed in the “Term Loan A” market, which is substantially comprised of commercial banks, investment banks, institutional lenders, insurance companies, international funds, and equipment supplier credit affiliates. CPV has executed refinancings for its gas-fired projects in both the Term Loan A market and the Term Loan B market, which includes mainly institutional lenders, international funds, and a number of commercial banks.

While the credit facility terms and conditions have certain provisions specific to the project being financed, an overwhelming majority of the standard key terms and conditions (first lien security, covenants, events of default, equity cure rights, distribution restrictions, reserve requirements, etc.) are similar across the CPV project Term Loan A financings, while the Term Loan B market refinancing terms are slightly less restrictive.  In each market and often within each financing, lenders to CPV’s projects have funded either on a credit spread over London Inter‑Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)/Base Rate basis or on a fixed rate basis.  To minimize exposure to potential interest rate risk, CPV executes interest rate hedges for the main exposure at each project level, whereby the project companies pay the major financial institutions fixed rate interest and receive variable interest payments to hedge the term loans.  For the LIBOR-based loans, the credit agreements and interest rate swap arrangements include market-standard provisions to accommodate the eventual replacement of LIBOR as a reference rate.

Loans of the project companies in the CPV Group: (Cont.)

Set forth below is a summary the main commercial conditions of the senior debt frameworks of the Project Companies in the CPV Group. The balances are presented in millions of dollars, represent 100% of the debt balance of each project and include fair‑value adjustments that were made on the acquisition date of the CPV Group. The amounts of the loans under the “Term Loan” are presented as at the date noted, and to the extent they are withdrawn and repaid they may not be withdrawn again.

It is noted that the main financing agreements include, among other things, terms that are standard and customary in agreements for projects of this type, provisions regarding mandatory prepayments, various grounds for repayment, commissions in respect of credit frameworks, annual commissions relating to issuance of LC and additional customary terms. In addition, as part of the financing agreements collaterals provided and liens were placed on all the project assets. It is further noted that as at the approval date of the report, there are no grounds for calling any of the financing agreements for immediate repayment.

In April 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved (after receiving approval of the Company’s Remuneration Committee) update of the service conditions of Mr. Giora Almogy as the Company’s CEO including, among other things, allotment of 1,358,492 options. The said allotment is subject to approval of the General Meeting, which is expected to be convened on June 15, 2021.

The options are non‑marketable, exercisable each one for one ordinary share of the Company and in total for 1,358,492 ordinary share of the Company of NIS 0.01 par value each. The options will be allotted in accordance with the Company’s updated remuneration policy subject to approval of the General Meeting, as stated above, and under the Capital Track (with a trustee) pursuant to Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance, in four equal tranches. The vesting conditions and expiration dates of the options are as follows:
