The Company’s 83.333% owned Israeli subsidiary promoting the Manara PSP, entered into a loan agreement with the owner of the remaining 16.667% of its outstanding shares (Ampa). The unpaid balance (principal and interest) of the loan will bear interest at an annual rate in accordance with the interest rate for the purpose of Section 3(j) of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 2(a) of the Income Tax Regulations (Determination of Interest Rate for the Purpose of Section 3(j)), 1986. At the beginning of 2021, Ellomay PS entered into a new agreement according to which Ampa’s debt will be split into 2 separate loans, an interest-bearing loan at a rate of 7% linked to the consumer price index (senior international debt), and a Mezzanine loan (an internationally inferior debt) bearing an interest rate of 5%. The maturity date of this loan is December 31, 2027 and forward. As of December 31, 2021, the amount of the loan is €6,898 thousand.

On February 11, 2021, the Manara PSP Project Finance reached financial closing. The Manara PSP Project Finance is provided by a consortium of Israeli banks and institutional investors, arranged and led by Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank Ltd. The Manara PSP Project Finance is in the aggregate amount of NIS 1.22 billion (approximately €350 million based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2021) including reevaluation according to actual indexes for the period since financial close and until October 2021. This aggregate amount represents the real (non-indexed) value of the project finance long term facilities. Such amount, as well as the standby facilities, is linked to a synthetic composite index comprising a weighted average of the indices and currencies applicable to the Manara PSP’s construction costs (the “Project Index”), on a yearly basis during the first 4 years of construction, and thereafter semi-annually until construction end.
 
The Manara PSP Project Finance includes: (i) a Senior Secured Tranche at a fixed rate of interest for each drawdown, with base interest rate equal to the yield to maturity of Israeli treasury bonds with like duration of the loan drawdown, plus a spread of 3.25% per-annum during the Construction Period of the Project and a spread of 2.40% per-annum from the Actual Completion Date of the Project which proceeds the Commercial Operation Date of the Project. The Senior Secured Tranche is linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index and is to be repaid over a period of 19.5 years from the commercial operation date; and (ii) a Subordinated Secured B Tranche at a floating rate of interest, with the base interest being the Bank of Israel rate, plus a spread of 4.35% per-annum during the Construction Period and a spread of 3.90% per-annum from the Actual Completion Date. The stated maturity of the Tranche B loan is one year less than the maturity of the Senior Secured Loan with a cash sweep mechanism that shortens its maturity to approximately 12 years from the Commercial Operation Date under the Base Case Financial Model.
 
The Manara PSP Project Finance includes customary terms in connection with early prepayment, acceleration of payments upon certain breaches and limitations on distributions. The Manara PSP Project Finance also includes ancillary facilities such as Standby, VAT, Guarantees and Debt Service Reserve facilities in an aggregate amount of approximately NIS 146 million (approximately €41 million based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2021).
 
The Average Annual Debt Service Cover Ratio (ADSCR) was 1.35:1.00 under the base case financial model for the Senior Secured Tranche. In January 2022, shortly prior to the first utilization of funds under the long-term facilities, such ratio was amended to 1.34:1.00.
 
The owners of Ellomay PS undertook to provide aggregate financing of approximately NIS 353,000 thousand (approximately €100,000 thousand based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2021), pro rata to their holdings in the Manara PSP. The commitment of the owners to provide such financing as well as their standby equity commitments are also linked to the Project Index in the same manner and timing as the long term facilities, as described above.
 
The Manara PSP Project Finance includes mandatory cash sweeps upon certain cover ratio and other events with respect to the Senior Secured Tranche, Cash sweep payments in connection with the Subordinated Secured Tranche as mentioned above and other lender protection mechanisms. In addition, the Manara PSP Project Finance agreement permits the owners of the Manara PSP to withdraw a developers’ fee at the Actual Completion Date (as such term is defined in the Manara PSP Project Finance agreement) of the Manara PSP, subject to availability of funding in the Standby Facility at the time and provided the Average ADSCR at the time is not less than a certain ratio.
 
Ellomay and Ampa provided certain sponsor support undertakings towards the lenders commensurate with the size and complexity of the project and the length of the construction period, including a standby equity guarantee in the aggregate amount of approximately NIS 12,500 thousand (approximately €3,550 thousand based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2021), pro rata to their holdings in the Manara PSP. This standby equity guarantee is linked and adjusted in the same manner and timing as the long term facilities, as described above.
 
In August 2021, the Israeli Electricity Authority issued a clarification letter relating to the method of calculation of certain dynamic benefits applicable to all pumped storage projects in Israel. The owners of the Manara PSP currently estimate that if the updates to the method of calculation will be implemented, the new calculation may reduce the cover ratios of the Manara PSP during the commercial operation period by up to 5 basis points. In order to mitigate such potential future effect, the owners of the Manara PSP agreed to provide the lenders with certain undertakings to inject additional equity to the Manara PSP in certain scenarios, subject to a cap which is currently estimated by the owners of the Manara PSP to be approximately NIS 37 million (approximately €10.5 million based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2021).
 
In January 2022, subsequent to the balance sheet date, Ellomay PS completed all the preliminary conditions for the first withdrawal under the Manara PSP Project Finance and executed the first withdrawal in the amount of approximately NIS 75,000 thousand (approximately €21,300 thousand based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2021), This amount was drawn from the Senior Secured Tranche and the Subordinated Secured B Tranche pro-rata.

On May 16, 2012, Talmei Yosef entered into a loan agreement with Israeli consortium led by Israel Discount Bank (the “Israeli Consortium”) in connection with the financing of its PV Plant, pursuant to which Talmei Yosef received financing amounting to NIS 80,000 thousand. The loan is linked to the consumer price index and bears an annual interest of 4.65%. The interest on the loan and the principal are repaid semi-annually. The final maturity date of this loan is December 31, 2031.
 
On December 24, 2014, Talmei Yosef entered into an additional loan agreement with the Israeli Consortium in connection with additional financing in the amount of NIS 25,000 thousand. The loan is linked to the consumer price index and bears an annual interest of 4.52%. The final maturity date of this loan is June 30, 2028.

 

The interest on the loan and the principal are repaid semi-annually.
 
In connection with these loans, the Talmei Yosef project company provided charges on its rights in the PV Plant, notes, equity, goodwill, on all assets of the PV Plant and on future receivables from the IEC and undertook customary limitations and undertakings, including maintaining the following financial ratios: (i) upon withdrawal of funds on account of the loan framework (based on milestones), maintaining an annual Historic ADSCR (Average Debt Service Coverage Ratio), a Projected ADSCR and a Projected LLCR (loan life coverage ratio) of 1.25:1.00, (ii) upon a distribution of profits from the project company, maintaining a Historic ADSCR, a Projected ADSCR and a Projected LLCR of 1.20:1.00, and (iii) throughout the term of the loan, maintaining an annual ADSCR and a Projected ADSCR of 1.05:1.00 for the following 12 months and maintaining an LLCR of 1.08:1.00.

(e) a term facility in the amount of €65 million from EIB, granted under the Investment Plan for Europe known as the Juncker Plan, with a term ending on September 30, 2033, repaid in unequal sculptured semi-annual installments. Loan amounts drawn from this facility will bear an annual interest of EURIBOR synchronous with the applicable interest period plus a margin (expected to be 1.76%). As of December 31, 2021, the Company made €65 million withdrawals on account of this facility; and
 
(f) a revolving debt service reserve facility from the EIB in the amount of €4.45 million granted by EIB under the Investment Plan for Europe, with a term ending on the earlier of: (i) September 30, 2033 or (ii) the date on which the commercial term loan set forth under (e) above has been repaid in full. Loans drawn from this facility will bear an annual interest of 6 month EURIBOR (with a zero floor) plus a margin, which is expected to be similar to the CFL Debt Service Reserve Facility under (b) above.
 
During the construction period, interest payments on the term, revolving debt and VAT facilities are made on a monthly basis, and semi-annually thereafter (commencing March 31, 2021). The VAT facilities’ interest period, however, remains on a monthly basis. The agreements executed in connection with the Talasol Project Finance provide for mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events and various customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants to maintain a Historic and Projected DSCR not lower than 1.05:1, and not to make distributions in the event that: (i) the Historic and Projected DSCR will be lower than 1.15:1.0 and (ii) the Loan Life Cover Ratio will be lower than 1.20:1.0. The facilities provided by the EIB include certain other representations and undertakings mandated by applicable EU regulation. As of December 31, 2021, the financial covenants were met.
 
The Talasol Project Finance documents require that security interests be provided in connection with the following: (i) Talasol’s shares (held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ellomay Luxembourg), (ii) pledges over accounts, (iii) pledges over Talasol Project’s documents, (iv) pledges over receivables under the shareholders loans, (v) security assignment of hedging claims and (vi) promissory equipment mortgage.

 

In connection with the Talasol Project Finance, Ellomay Luxembourg, and the parent company of Talasol, and the Company undertook separately to (indirectly) retain at least 50.1% of the shares in Talasol and not to buy any debt of, or hedging claims against, Talasol from the entities providing the financing to the Talasol Project.
 
On April 30, 2019, Talasol entered into a swap agreement for an amount equal to at least 95% of the maximum amount of the term facilities and replacing the Euribor 6 month rate with a fixed 6 month rate of approximately 0.9412%.
 
As the financing was structured for the term of the PPA signed in connection with the Talasol Project (ten years) plus additional three years beyond the term of the PPA, the Talasol Project Finance documentation requires Talasol to prepay the term loans via cash-sweeps to ensure that the term loans are repaid in full until the termination date of the PPA. Talasol has the option to place the relevant cash sweep amounts on a reserve account instead, and, in the event it enters into a satisfactory new power purchase agreement or power hedge agreement, the amounts on the reserve account may be transferred to the operating account of Talasol, to the extent they are not required in prepayment of the term loans to ensure that during the remainder of the term loans the base case ratios are complied with.
 
In December 2021, the Talasol Project entered into a New Facilities Agreement in the aggregate amount of €175 million with European institutional lenders (the “Talasol New Facilities Agreement”). Financial closing of the Talasol New Facilities Agreement was achieved in January 2022. The Talasol New Facilities Agreement provides for the provision of two tranches:
 
  (a)
a term loan in the amount of €155 million of which the final maturity date is June 30, 2044, and
  (b)
a term loan in the amount of €20 million of which the final maturity date is December 31, 2042.
 
Principal and interest repayment are made on a semi-annual basis, end of June and end of December.
 
The weighted average life of the New Talasol Financing is approximately 11.5 years, compared to an original weighted average life of 5.5 years of the Current Talasol Financing. The Talasol 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 Talasol Financing.
 
The agreements executed in connection with the Talasol New Financing provide for mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events and various customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including covenants to maintain a Historic and Forecast DSCR equal to at least 1.05x. Moreover, Talasol undertook not to make distributions in the event that: (i) the Historic and Forecast DSCR will be lower than 1.10x until the expiration date of the PPA and equal to at least 1.25x thereafter and (ii) the Loan Life Cover Ratio will be lower than 1.30x from the expiration date of the PPA and until maturity.

 

The Talasol New Financing documents require that security interests be provided in connection with the following: (i) Talasol’s shares (held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ellomay Luxembourg and the other shareholders of Talasol), (ii) pledges over credit rights under certain accounts, (iii) pledges over credit rights under certain Talasol Project’s documents, (iv) pledges over credit rights under the shareholders loans, (v) security assignment of receivables in connection with the PPA, (vi) promissory equipment mortgage and (vii) mortgage on all solar modules and power inverters comprised in the project.

The uses of the Talasol New Financing amount are as follows: (1) prepayment of the outstanding €121 million amount of the Talasol Previous Financing; (2) deposit of €6.9 million in Talasol’s bank account as a debt service fund; (3) deposit of €10 million in Talasol’s bank account as security for a letter of credit to the PPA provider (the “Talasol PPA Security Fund”) (4) unwinding of the interest rate SWAP entered into in connection with the Previous Financing in an amount of €3.29 million; (5) transaction costs in an amount of approximately €3 million; and (6) an expected special dividend to Talasol’s shareholders in an amount of approximately €30 million.

The Talasol 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.
 
As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the existing Talasol Project Finance was presented under short-term liabilities as a result of the execution of the New Facilities Agreement and the expected repayment of the existing Talasol Project Finance.
