As of the date hereof, based on the company's indirect holdings in Dorad and the current value of 50% of the other assets and liabilities of Ellomay Luzon Energy, the consideration is approximately NIS 560M. Ellomay Clean Energy LP and the Luzon Group entered into a share purchase agreement on March 27, 2026. The consummation of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approvals of the Israeli Electricity Authority, the Israeli Competition Authority and Ellomay Luzon Energy's lenders, all to the extent required.
