Exhibit 99.1

Kenon announces that ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd., in which Kenon has a 32% interest, has filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering of its shares

Singapore, December 31, 2020. Kenon Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KEN; TASE: KEN) ("Kenon") is announcing that ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. ("ZIM"), in which Kenon has a 32% interest, has filed a registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed initial public offering of its shares.

Kenon, which is not participating in the proposed offering, will experience a dilution of its 32% interest, depending on the offer price and amount raised in the offering.

Kenon has agreed to a customary 180-day lock-up period, during which it will not sell or distribute its ZIM shares.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. The registration statement, any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the documents incorporated by reference therein are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. A written prospectus for the offering meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933 (other than a free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405) including as to the identified paragraphs above a price range where required by rule, may be obtained from the underwriters in ZIM's offering.
