Ellomay Capital Announces Entry into a Facilities Agreement by Talasol Solar, Enabling a Refinancing of Talasol's Debt

Tel-Aviv, Israel, December 8, 2021 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe and Israel, today announced that Talasol Solar S.L. ("Talasol"), which owns a photovoltaic plant with installed capacity of 300MW in the municipality of Talaván, Cáceres, Spain and is 51% owned by the Company, entered into a Facilities Agreement with European institutional lenders (the "Facilities Agreement").

The Facilities Agreement provides for the provision of a term loan facility in two tranches: (i) a term loan in the amount of €155 million for 22.5 years, and (ii) a term loan in the amount of €20 million for 21 years (together, the "New Financing"). The aggregate New Financing amount (€175 million), will be used by Talasol to repay the current outstanding project finance debt of Talasol in the amount of €121 million (the "Current Financing"). The weighted average life of the New Financing is approximately 11.5 years, compared to an original weighted average life of 5.5 years of the Current Financing. The New Financing bears a fixed annual interest rate at a weighted average of approximately 3%, compared to a variable interest rate that was fixed at an average of approximately 3% by an interest rate swap contract in the Current Financing. Out of the New Financing amount, €6.9 million will be deposited in Talasol's account as a debt service fund and €10 million will be deposited in Talasol's bank account as security for a letter of credit to the PPA provider (the "PPA Security Fund"). The PPA Security Fund will be reduced by €1 million every year, up to a minimum amount of €3.5 million, which will be released at the expiration of the PPA. The financial closing of the New Financing is expected to occur in the coming weeks.

"We are very pleased with the refinancing of Talasol's debt," said Ran Fridrich, Ellomay's CEO and a Board member. "The refinancing represents an increase in the expected average debt service coverage ratio from 1.3 to 1.7 and is expected to improve the cash flow of Talasol over the remaining period of the PPA (nine years) by approximately €3 million per year on average. The immediate funds received from the refinance and the improved cash flow in the coming 9 years are expected to significantly improve Talasol's ability to distribute dividends to its shareholders, including the Company. I would like to thank our business development team that worked tirelessly and succeeded in obtaining and executing this groundbreaking financing in a short time."
