Effects of the spreading of the coronavirus:

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus (Covid-19) in China in December 2019, and the spreading of Covid-19 to many other countries since the beginning of 2020, creating the current pandemic situation, there was a decrease in economic activity in many areas around the world, including Israel, Spain and Italy. The spread of the virus has led, inter alia, to a disruption in the supply chain, a decrease in global transportation, restrictions on travel and work that were announced by the State of Israel and other countries around the world and a decrease in the value of financial assets and commodities on the markets in Israel and the world. Although the Company’s operations have not thus far been materially adversely affected by the restrictions imposed by local governments and authorities in the countries in which the Company operates, in the event restrictions are imposed, the operations of the Company, including the projects under construction and development, may be adversely affected. Also, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the electricity prices in the European markets declined due to the decrease in demand, resulting in a slight decrease in the Company’s revenues in Spain.  The electricity prices in the European markets have since increased and are currently close to the electricity prices that were in effect prior to the pandemic. The spread of Covid-19 and its implications may also indirectly affect the operations of the Company, for example through changes in the prices of oil resulting in a decrease in the electricity prices, and through reduction in demand for electricity, delays in construction of projects due to curtailment of work, limited availability of components required in order to operate or construct new projects, regulatory changes by countries affected by the virus, including changes in subsidies, collection delays, delays in obtaining permits, limited availability or changes in terms of financing for future projects, limited availability of corporate financing and lower returns on potential future investments.  As a result, the Company's business and operating results could be negatively affected. The extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic impacts the business of the Company will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of Covid-19 and the actions to contain Covid-19 or treat its impact, among others. These potential affects could last until a vaccine or successful treatment plan are implemented worldwide or at least in the countries in which the Company operates.
