Item 8.01 Other Events

On September 20, 2018, the Company’s German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar Technology AG. The complaint, filed in the District Court Düsseldorf, Germany, alleges that SolarEdge's 12.5kW - 27.6kW inverters infringe plaintiff’s patents EP 2 228 895 B1 and EP 1 610 452 B1. In its complaint, SMA Solar Technology requests inter alia an injunction and a determination for a claim for damages for sales in Germany. Plaintiff also suggests a value in dispute of five million Euros for both patents.

SolarEdge believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
