 - Updates aggregate offering amount to up to NIS 125 million

Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE MKT; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, today announced that following the Company's previously announced publishing of a final prospectus for the offering, in Israel only (the "Offering") of a new Series B Debentures (the "Debentures") with the Israel Securities Authority and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. ("TASE"), the Company completed an institutional and classified investors bidding (the "Institutional Tender").

At the Institutional Tender, the bidders submitted early commitments to order approximately NIS 338.3 million par value of Debentures, of which the Company accepted commitments to purchase an aggregate of NIS 98 million (approximately $26.6 million) par value, at an interest rate of no more than 3.44% per annum. The Debentures will be sold at par value. In consideration for making early commitments, the institutional and classified investors will receive an early commitment commission in the amount of 0.5%.

The aggregate amount that the Company expects to pay in arrangement fees and other expenses in connection with the Offering (assuming total proceeds of approximately NIS 125 million, or approximately $34 million), including the aforementioned early commitment fee, is approximately NIS 1.7 million (approximately $0.5 million).

The early commitments received in the Institutional Tender are binding. Unless and until the public tender will be completed and the Company receives the approval for listing of the Debentures on the TASE, the offers by the institutional and other classified investors will not be accepted by the Company.

The date of the public tender, including the final structure of the Offering, will be published in Israel by the Company in a Complementary Notice in Hebrew. For additional details see the Form 6-K submitted by the Company to the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2017.
