This presentation and the information contained herein do not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, an opinion, an offer, or an invitation to invest or purchase securities of Keystone Infra Ltd. ("the Company"). It is not intended to be a "public offer" or "public sale" of any kind. Additionally, this presentation should not be considered a substitute for investment advice or investment marketing that takes into account the unique data and needs of any individual or investor, nor does it replace the judgment of a potential investor.

The presentation was prepared to provide general information, and the information contained herein is presented for convenience and in a summary form only. The presentation is not exhaustive and does not purport to cover all data concerning the Company* and its activities or all the information that may be relevant for making any decision regarding investment in the Company's securities. To obtain a full picture of the Company's activities, including the risks involved, one must review the Company's prospectus, its periodic reports, and its regular disclosures to the Israel Securities Authority and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, including but not limited to, the Company's annual report for 2023, its second-quarter report for 2024, and the immediate reports published by the Company, all prior to making any decision regarding investment in the Company's securities. It should be noted that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Furthermore, this presentation includes information based, among other things, on the Company's plans, objectives, estimates, and forecasts, which should be treated with caution. The information presented in the presentation is based on information included by the Company in its prospectus, annual report for 2023, third-quarter report for 2024, and its immediate and periodic reports. However, additional data that is non-material, including data presented differently in characterization, editing, or segmentation relative to the data published to the public, may be included in the presentation. It should be noted that some of the data in this presentation is unaudited or reviewed.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that the Company does not undertake to update or amend this presentation or to update or amend the data, forecasts, or estimates included herein. This presentation, including the information contained in slides 3, 5, 8-10, 12-15, and 19, among others, contains forward-looking information as defined in the Securities Law, 1968 ("Securities Law"). Such information includes, among other things, forecasts, objectives, estimates, and various projections, including information presented through illustrations, graphs, or tables relating to future events or matters, the realization of which is uncertain and not within the control of the Company. Such information is based on the Company's subjective assessment or on public data that the Company has not independently verified and therefore is not responsible for their accuracy. Additionally, some of the information is based on economic models or valuations prepared by external consultants or internal models prepared by the Company and/or its portfolio companies, which include, among other things, assumptions regarding expected electricity rates, changes in the Consumer Price Index, exchange rates (USD/EUR), interest rates, gas prices, the volume of public transportation traffic, success in tenders, market shares, efficiency plans, and business development, debt refinancing, and distribution, among others. The realization or non-realization of the forward-looking information mentioned above will be influenced, among other things, by factors that cannot be assessed in advance and are not within the Company's control, and therefore there is no certainty that they will materialize, and they may materialize differently, even significantly, from how they are presented in this presentation. Additionally, the Company's intentions regarding dividend distributions are based on facts and data known to the Company as of this date and on the Company's current expectations and assessments regarding future developments in the Company's investments and activities. The realization of the Company's assessments is not certain as they are subject to external influences that cannot be assessed in advance, including a case where any of the Company's investments lose value significantly, thereby reducing the distributable profits, or where the Company's investments yield cash flows significantly lower than the Company's estimates, among others.

Given the current uncertainty regarding the development of the war, its scope, duration, and impacts, the Company's management cannot assess the future impact of the war on the Company's operational results, financial condition, cash flows, and financial stability, or on the entities it holds.

Additionally, the presentation may include data and assessments based on external sources that were not independently verified by the Company, and therefore the Company is not responsible for their accuracy, even if it believes them to be reasonable.

  1. The forecast described in this graph regarding expected cash inflows from the company's investments ('the Forecast') is forward-looking information. The Forecast is based on assumptions, assessments, and estimates of the company, derived from external valuations of portfolio assets received by the company, or from economic models prepared by external consultants or internal models prepared by the company and/or portfolio asset companies, including, among others, assumptions regarding expected electricity rates, results of the Electricity Authority hearing and System Operator's decision proposal, changes in relevant regulation, market conditions, changes in consumer price index, exchange rates, interest rates, gas prices, public transportation usage volume, winning tenders, market shares, efficiency and business development plans, debt refinancing, etc. It is clarified that there is a high probability that the assumptions, assessments, and estimates underlying the Forecast will materialize differently than anticipated, and it is also clarified that the assumptions, assessments, and estimates included in forecasts based on internal models have not been examined by an external party who is not an employee of the company or portfolio asset company. Additionally, some of the expected cash inflows in some investments may remain for financing growth and business development, and there may be different timing for cash inflows distributions from portfolio companies. Furthermore, distributions in portfolio companies are subject to, among other things, distribution tests and board decisions in each company. It should be noted that the Forecast does not include investments that may be required, if required, in the company's investments. In light of the above, the company cannot assess or guarantee that the expected cash flow from the company's investments will be as described in the Forecast, and therefore the Forecast does not constitute any commitment by the company to meet it or any representation by the company.
