Re: Progress in the Hadera Power Station Expansion Project and Exercise of the Option to Extend the Lease Agreement for Land Owned by the Subsidiary Infinira Ltd.

Following the Company's Board of Directors report for the first quarter of 2026¹, regarding the advancement of the Hadera 2 Project (Hadera Expansion), a combined-cycle natural gas-powered power station with an estimated capacity of approximately 850 MW², intended for construction on land owned by the subsidiary Infinira Ltd., adjacent to the Hadera power station of OPC Israel Ltd. ("The Project", "Infinira", "The Land", and "OPC Israel", as applicable), the Company updates as follows:

  1. On June 2, 2026, the project company, OPC Hadera Expansion Ltd.³ ("The Project Company") entered into an agreement with a banking corporation for the financing of the project's construction in the amount of approximately NIS 4.8 billion ("The Financing Agreement")⁴.
  2. Also, on June 2, 2026, the Project Company entered into an agreement with a construction contractor for the construction of the project, in an EPC format as is customary for projects of this type ("The Construction Agreement")⁵.
  3. Within this framework, and following Section D.2. of the Company's Board of Directors report for the first quarter of 2026, the Project Company announced the exercise of the option to lease the land for a period of 24 years and 11 months. For further details regarding the fair value assessment of the land (investment property owned by Infinira - Hadera 1 and Hadera 2) which was estimated as of March 31, 2026, at approximately NIS 400 million, see Section D.2. of the Company's Board of Directors report for the first quarter of 2026. In light of the exercise of the option as stated, the uncertainty component regarding the lease agreement as described in the first quarter report for 2026 has decreased, and the Company estimates that the fair value of the aforementioned investment property will rise to approximately NIS 450 million.

It should also be noted that the Company continues to conduct advanced negotiations with OPC Israel for an agreement to sell the rights in the property instead of the lease agreements, for a total expected consideration of approximately NIS 450 million. As of this date, there is no certainty as to the completion of the sale agreement, its terms, or the final consideration that will be determined.

In addition to the above, upon entering into the project agreements described above, and receiving the relevant permits, OPC Israel intends to apply for tariff approval from the Electricity Authority in accordance with the expected regulatory arrangement for the project⁶, and shortly thereafter
