Accordingly, the Company will raise an aggregate sum of approximately NIS 870 million issuing NIS 600,265,000 par value of its (series 6) debentures and NIS 189,900,000 par value of (series 7) debentures.

After the issuance, the aggregate outstanding balance of (series 6) debentures will be NIS 1,558,353,000 par value. The aggregate consideration that the Company will receive for the issuance of the (series 6) debentures is approximately NIS 680.1 million.
Issuance of (series 7) debentures
The issuance of the (series 7) debentures will be made for a price of NIS 1 for each NIS 1 par value, reflecting effective interest of 2.81%.
