The net electricity generation is the gross generation during the period less the electricity consumed for the self-use of the power
plants. |
(2) |
The actual generation percentage is the electricity produced by the power plants relative to the maximum amount of generation capacity
during the period and is affected by ordinary course maintenance activities at the power plants, which are scheduled at fixed intervals.
Such maintenance activities typically last for approximately 30–50 days and reduce the power plants’ generation and availability
until such maintenance has been completed. The actual capacity percentage (availability percentage) for the Shore, Valley and Fairview
plants improved in 2024 compared with 2023 as these plants had outages in 2023. Maryland’s decrease in 2024 compared with 2023 was
mainly due to maintenance outages taken 2024. CPV Group’s projects may be under planned and unplanned maintenance (or experience
production limitations or technical failures) from time to time, including as occurred in 2024. In 2025, in addition to immaterial planned
tests, a major planned maintenance is expected at Towantic. |

Delays in the processes for connection to the network in the PJM market: The increasing demand for renewable energies in the PJM,
MISO and SPP electricity markets have led to an increase in the requests for connection to the network and requests for connection studies
of projects to the network. These requests place a strain on the system and could slow down the connection approval process, and could
impact the projects’ rate of advancement. In January 2023, a reform was implemented in the PJM market to manage the process of requesting
network connections, designed to address the backlog of connection requests handled by the PJM. As part of the new protocol, PJM will
prepare a three-stage connection study process that applies to parties requesting connection in the relevant framework with respect to
times. In 2024, particularly in December, interim results were published with respect to certain connection studies (Transition Cycle#1).
The CPV Group believes that the process of the network connection agreements caused a delay in the development of certain projects in
the PJM market, considering factors such as the costs required for network upgrades and their position in the connection process.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Basin Ranch project (a natural gas project with an estimated capacity of approximately 1.35 GW
located in the state of Texas with future carbon capture potential, which is held at the rate of 70% by the CPV Group and 30% by a partner
(“Basin Ranch”)), which was chosen by TEF (Texas Energy Fund) to advance to the due diligence stage for receipt of a subsidized
loan in the amount of approximately $1 billion having a term of about 20 years bearing fixed interest of 3% – subject to the condition
that construction begins before 2025. The CPV Group estimates the total construction cost of the power plant project (100%) to be in the
range of approximately $1.8 – $2 billion, and, subject to completion of the relevant development processes, particularly receipt
of permits (including environmental), completion of the material undertakings and signing of the loan agreement, decision to start construction
of the project is expected in 2025. The CPV Group is in the process of capital raising required for construction of the project. There
is no certainty as to the structure, manner or amount of such fundraising (if it is agreed and completed), which has not yet been finally
determined. |

In February 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) approved the PJM’s “Reliability Resource
Initiative” (RRI), the purpose of which is to handle the expected deficiency in available capacity by accelerating connection of
up to 50 projects for generation of electricity that meet certain criteria. Qualifying projects will be advanced to the next connection
round, Transition Cycle#2, which permits projects to potentially connect up to approximately 14 months earlier. PJM noted that selection
of the project as part of the RRI will be made by means of a weighted average point method that will focus on the size of the project,
the availability and the date of the commercial operation applications, and selection of the projects is expected to end in the second
quarter of 2025. Projects that are selected for RRI will be required to comply with fixed timetables for construction and participation
in PJM’s availability tenders for a minimum commitment period of ten years from the commercial operation date. The CPV Group has
indicated that it intends to submit a request for the Oregon project (which is currently in the initial development stage) to be part
of this accelerated connection process. |

is about 7,003 MW. Gas-fired combined cycle generation facilities are planned to be operational during most hours over the year. Conventional
open cycle power plants (the “peaker power plants”) are generally planned to operate for a number of hours during the day;
these power plants are operated when the demand for electricity exceeds the supply–- whether due to demand peaks, as backup in case
of malfunctions in other generation facilities, or as a supplement when solar energy is unavailable—whether in the early morning
hours or at night. |
|
• |
Cogeneration technology—electricity generation using facilities that simultaneously
generate both electrical energy and useful thermal energy (steam) from a single source of energy. |
|
• |
Renewable energy—electricity generated from, inter alia, sun, wind, water or waste.
In November 2020, the Israeli government updated the generation targets for renewable energy to 30% of the consumption up to 2030. As
of the end of 2023, the installed capacity of renewable energy generation facilities was 5,891 MW, with actual generation constituting
approximately 11.8 % of total actual consumption by the economy in 2023. In recent years, there has been an uptick in the entrance of
electricity producers and generation facilities that use renewable energies in the electricity generation market, including solar energy,
wind energy, and storage; that use the grid resources. The EA as part of the Report on the Status of the Renewable Energy Targets in the
Electricity Sector in 2023 stated that as at the end of 2023, the rate of actual consumption of renewable energy in the Israeli economy
was 12.5%; the rate of renewable energy installed capacity out of total capacity in Israel as of the end of 2023 was 24.8%. |
|
• |
Pumped storage energy—generation of electricity using an electrical pump connected
to the power grid in order to pump water from a lower water reservoir to an upper water reservoir, while taking advantage of the height
differences between them in order to power an electric turbine. The capacity of two production facilities (which is in operation) using
this technology amounts to approximately 644 MW, with another facility using this technology with capacity of approximately 456 MW under
construction. |
|
• |
Energy storage—this is possible through a range of technologies, including, among others,
pumped storage, mechanical storage (for example compressed air) and chemical storage (for example batteries). Based on the electricity
system’s planning horizon, the use of this technology is currently negligible; however, it is expected to increase significantly
in the upcoming years due to the need for storage facilities as a result of the anticipated increase in renewable energies, due to, among
other things, the renewable energies generation targets. In particular, based on study conducted by EA, compliance with the target for
renewable energies up to 2030 will require construction of storage facilities with a capacity of thousands of MWh, deriving from the readiness
of the technology and the economic feasibility of its use. OPC takes steps to integrate energy storage. For example, OPC entered into
a number of agreements for generation of electricity , which allow OPC to build storage facilities as well as in the Ramat Beka Solar
Project. |
|
1. |
Capacity and Energy to the IEC: according to Rotem’s PPA with the IEC, Rotem is obligated to allocate its full capacity to
the IEC. In return, the IEC shall pay Rotem a monthly payment for each available MW, net, that was available to the IEC. In addition,
when the IEC requests to dispatch Rotem, the IEC shall pay a variable payment based on the cost of fuel and the efficiency of the station.
This payment will cover the variable cost deriving from the operation of the Rotem Power station and the generation of electricity.
|
|
2. |
Sale of energy to end users: Rotem is allowed to inform the IEC, subject to the provision of advanced notice, that it is releasing
itself in whole or in part from the allocation of capacity to the IEC, and extract (in whole or in part) the capacity allocated to the
IEC, in order to sell electricity to private customers pursuant to the Electricity Sector Law. Rotem may, subject to 12-months’
advance notice, re-include the excluded capacity (in whole or in part) as capacity sold to the IEC. |
|
• |
CPV is required to hold permits in order to operate and/or construct the power plants, the purpose of which is prevention or reduction
of air pollution. The power plants may also be required to hold permits for flowing water, waste water and other waste into the local
sewer systems or into other water sources in the United States. |
|
• |
Due to the height and location of the exhaust stacks and other components of the generation facilities, which could endanger the
air traffic, the power plants are required to hold a permit for construction of the stacks and additional components in the generation
facilities. This permit is issued by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). |
|
• |
Electricity production facilities using renewable energy are often required to hold coverage in accordance with general permits applicable
to flood water and, the discharge of dredged and fill materials to the ‘Waters of the U.S.’ Depending on the area of the affected
site, these facilities may be required to obtain individual permits from ACOE in respect of those effects; however, generally, it is possible
to build projects in places that will not require such permits. |
|
• |
State and local permits for renewable energy facilities (the permit’s requirements depend on the state in which the project
is built and its location within the state). |

In April 2020, OPC completed an offering of NIS 400 million (approximately $ 113 million) of Series B bonds on the TASE, at an annual
interest rate of 2.75%. In October 2020, OPC issued 555,555 units of NIS 1,000 Series B bonds, totaling gross proceeds of NIS 584 million
($ 171 million). The offering was an extension of the existing Series B bonds previously issued by OPC. The proceeds of the additional
Series B issuance were used to redeem Series A bonds (NIS 313 million (approximately $ 86 million)) and in part to fund the CPV acquisition.
|
(3) |
In September 2021, OPC issued Series C debentures at a par value of NIS 851 million (approximately $ 266 million), bearing annual
interest of 2.5%. The Series C bonds are repayable over 12 semi-annual payments (which repayment amounts vary, and range from 5% up to
16% of the total issued amount) commencing in February 2024 with the final payment in August 2030. OPC used the proceeds from the Series
C bonds for the early repayment of project financing debt of Rotem as described below. |
(4) |
In January 2024, OPC issued Series D debentures totaling NIS 200 million (approximately $53 million),
with the proceeds of the issuance designated for OPC’s needs, including for recycling of an existing financial debt (Series D).
The bonds are listed on the TASE, are not CPI-linked and bear annual interest of 6.2%. The principal and interest for Series D bonds will
be repaid in unequal semi-annual payments (on March 25, and September 25), as set out in the amortization schedule, starting from March
25, 2026 in relation to the principal and September 25, 2024 in relation to interest. This debenture series is not a material loan in
and of itself but it is classified as a loan with a material cross-default condition (including, in some cases, stricter default
events with respect to the Series B and C debentures). |

As of December 31, 2024, the balance of interest payable in respect of the Series B, C and D debentures amounts to approximately

Board of Directors | ||
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws would provide that the number of
directors on the board of directors will be fixed from time to time by a vote of the majority of the authorized directors. Under Delaware
law, a board of directors can be divided into classes and cumulative voting in the election of directors is only permitted if expressly
authorized in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. |
|
The constitution of companies will typically state the minimum and maximum number
of directors as well as provide that the number of directors may be increased or reduced by shareholders via ordinary resolution passed
at a general meeting, provided that the number of directors following such increase or reduction is within the maximum and minimum number
of directors provided in the constitution and the Singapore Companies Act, respectively. Our Constitution provides that, unless otherwise
determined by a general meeting, the minimum number of directors is five and the maximum number is 12. |
Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors | ||
A typical certificate of incorporation provides for the elimination of personal monetary
liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of Delaware, except
for liability (i) for any breach of a director’s loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (relating to the liability of directors for unlawful payment of a dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. A typical certificate of incorporation would also provide
that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended so as to allow further elimination of, or limitations on, director liability,
then the liability of directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law
as so amended. |
|
Pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act, any provision (whether in the constitution,
contract or otherwise) purporting to exempt or indemnify a director (to any extent) from any liability attaching in connection with any
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to Kenon will be void except as permitted under the Singapore Companies
Act. Nevertheless, a director can be released by the shareholders of Kenon for breaches of duty to Kenon, except in the case of fraud,
illegality, insolvency and oppression or disregard of minority interests.
Our Constitution currently provides that, subject to the provisions of the Singapore
Companies Act and every other act for the time being in force concerning companies and affecting Kenon, every director, auditor, secretary
or other officer of Kenon and its subsidiaries and affiliates shall be entitled to be indemnified by Kenon against all liabilities incurred
by him in the execution and discharge of his duties and where he serves at the request of Kenon as a director, officer, employee or agent
of any subsidiary or affiliate of Kenon or in relation thereto, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings,
whether civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee
of Kenon, and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any
material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with an application under statute in respect of such
act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court. |

Interested Shareholders | ||
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits a Delaware
corporation from engaging in specified corporate transactions (such as mergers, stock and asset sales, and loans) with an “interested
stockholder” for three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to specified exceptions,
an “interested stockholder” is a person or group that owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock
(including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of
conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of
the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the voting stock at any time within the previous three years.
A Delaware corporation may elect to “opt out” of, and not be governed
by, Section 203 through a provision in either its original certificate of incorporation, or an amendment to its original certificate or
bylaws that was approved by majority stockholder vote. With a limited exception, this amendment would not become effective until 12 months
following its adoption. |
|
There are no comparable provisions in Singapore with respect to public companies which
are not listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. |
Removal of Directors | ||
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, subject to the rights
of holders of any preferred stock, directors may be removed at any time by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority,
or in some instances a supermajority, of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class. A certificate of incorporation could also provide that such a right is only exercisable
when a director is being removed for cause (removal of a director only for cause is the default rule in the case of a classified board).
|
|
According to the Singapore Companies Act, directors of a public company may be removed
before expiration of their term of office with or without cause by ordinary resolution (i.e., a resolution which is passed by a simple
majority of those shareholders present and voting in person or by proxy). Notice of the intention to move such a resolution has to be
given to Kenon not less than 28 days before the meeting at which it is moved. Kenon shall then give notice of such resolution to its shareholders
not less than 14 days before the meeting. Where any director removed in this manner was appointed to represent the interests of any particular
class of shareholders or debenture holders, the resolution to remove such director will not take effect until such director’s successor
has been appointed.
Our Constitution provides that Kenon may by ordinary resolution of which special notice
has been given, remove any director before the expiration of his period of office, notwithstanding anything in the Constitution or in
any agreement between Kenon and such director and appoint another person in place of the director so removed. |
Delaware |
|
Singapore—Kenon Holdings Ltd. |
Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors | ||
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, subject to the rights
of the holders of any preferred stock, any vacancy, whether arising through death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal,
an increase in the number of directors or any other reason, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors, even if such
directors remaining in office constitute less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Any newly elected director usually holds
office for the remainder of the full term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of the class of directors to
which the newly elected director has been elected expires. |
|
The constitution of a Singapore company typically provides that the directors have
the power to appoint any person to be a director, either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors, but so that the
total number of directors will not at any time exceed the maximum number fixed in the constitution. Any newly elected director shall hold
office until the next following annual general meeting, where such director will then be eligible for re-election. Our Constitution provides
that the shareholders may by ordinary resolution, or the directors may, appoint any person to be a director as an additional director
or to fill a vacancy provided that any person so appointed by the directors will only hold office until the next annual general meeting,
and will then be eligible for re-election. |
Amendment of Governing Documents | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, amendments to a corporation’s certificate
of incorporation require the approval of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment.
If a class vote on the amendment is required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class
is required, unless a greater proportion is specified in the certificate of incorporation or by other provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the board of directors may amend bylaws if so authorized in the charter.
The stockholders of a Delaware corporation also have the power to amend bylaws. |
|
Our Constitution may be altered by special resolution (i.e., a resolution passed by
at least a three-fourths majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy at a meeting for which not less than 21
days’ written notice is given). The board of directors has no right to amend the constitution. |
Meetings of Shareholders | ||
Annual and Special Meetings
Typical bylaws provide that annual meetings of stockholders are to be held on a date
and at a time fixed by the board of directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a special meeting of stockholders may be called
by the board of directors or by any other person authorized to do so in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.
Quorum Requirements
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation
or bylaws can specify the number of shares which constitute the quorum required to conduct business at a meeting, provided that in no
event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting. |
|
Annual General Meetings
All companies are required to hold an annual general meeting once every calendar year.
The first annual general meeting was required to be held within 18 months of Kenon’s incorporation and subsequently, annual general
meetings must be held within six months after Kenon’s financial year end.
Extraordinary General Meetings
Any general meeting other than the annual general meeting is called an “extraordinary
general meeting”. Two or more members (shareholders) holding not less than 10% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury
shares) may call an extraordinary general meeting. In addition, the constitution usually also provides that general meetings may be convened
in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act by the directors.
Notwithstanding anything in the constitution, the directors are required to convene
a general meeting if required to do so by requisition (i.e., written notice to directors requiring that a meeting be called) by shareholder(s)
holding not less than 10% of the total number of paid-up shares of Kenon carrying voting rights.
Our Constitution provides that the directors may, whenever they think fit, convene
an extraordinary general meeting.
Quorum Requirements
Our Constitution provides that shareholders entitled to vote holding 33 and 1/3% of
our issued and paid-up shares, present in person or by proxy at a meeting, shall be a quorum. In the event a quorum is not present, the
meeting (i) (if not requisitioned by shareholders) may be adjourned for one week; and (ii) (if requisitioned by shareholders) shall be
dissolved. |

Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Employers |
|||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to specified limitations in the
case of derivative suits brought by a corporation’s stockholders in its name, a corporation may indemnify any person who is made
a party to any third-party action, suit or proceeding on account of being a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or
was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise)
against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding through, among other things, a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the suit or proceeding, if the person:
•
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation or, in some circumstances, at least not opposed to its best interests; and
•
in a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.
Delaware corporate law permits indemnification by a corporation under similar circumstances
for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with the defense or settlement
of a derivative action or suit, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person
is adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action or suit was brought
determines upon application that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the court deems to be
proper.
To the extent a director, officer, employee or agent is successful in the defense
of such an action, suit or proceeding, the corporation is required by Delaware corporate law to indemnify such person for expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred thereby. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such persons in
defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of that person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that that person is not entitled to
be so indemnified. |
|
The Singapore Companies Act specifically provides that Kenon is allowed to:
| |
• |
purchase and maintain for any officer insurance
against any liability attaching to such officer in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to
Kenon;
| ||
• |
indemnify such officer against liability incurred by a director to a person other than Kenon except when the indemnity is against
(i) any liability of the director to pay a fine in criminal proceedings or a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty
in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (however arising); or (ii) any liability incurred by the officer
(1) in defending criminal proceedings in which he is convicted, (2) in defending civil proceedings brought by Kenon or a related company
of Kenon in which judgment is given against him or (3) in connection with an application for relief under specified sections of the Singapore
Companies Act in which the court refuses to grant him relief;
| ||
• |
indemnify any auditor against any liability incurred or to be incurred by such auditor in defending any proceedings (whether civil
or criminal) in which judgment is given in such auditor’s favor or in which such auditor is acquitted; or
| ||
• | indemnify any auditor against any liability incurred by such auditor in connection with any application under specified sections of the Singapore Companies Act in which relief is granted to such auditor by a court. | ||
In cases where, inter alia, an officer is sued by Kenon, the Singapore Companies Act
gives the court the power to relieve directors either wholly or partially from the consequences of their negligence, default, breach of
duty or breach of trust. However, Singapore case law has indicated that such relief will not be granted to a director who has benefited
as a result of his or her breach of trust. In order for relief to be obtained, it must be shown that (i) the director acted reasonably;
(ii) the director acted honestly; and (iii) it is fair, having regard to all the circumstances of the case including those connected with
such director’s appointment, to excuse the director.
Our Constitution currently provides that, subject to the provisions of the Singapore
Companies Act and every other act for the time being in force concerning companies and affecting Kenon, every director, auditor, secretary
or other officer of Kenon and its subsidiaries and affiliates shall be entitled to be indemnified by Kenon against all liabilities incurred
by him in the execution and discharge of his duties and where he serves at the request of Kenon as a director, officer, employee or agent
of any subsidiary or affiliate of Kenon or in relation thereto, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings,
whether civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee
of Kenon, and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any
material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with an application under statute in respect of such
act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court. |

Singapore—Kenon Holdings Ltd. |
Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations | ||
Generally, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, completion of a merger, consolidation,
or the sale, lease or exchange of substantially all of a corporation’s assets or dissolution requires approval by the board of directors
and by a majority (unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage) of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled
to vote.
The Delaware General Corporation Law also requires a special vote of stockholders
in connection with a business combination with an “interested stockholder” as defined in section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. For further information on such provisions, see “—Interested Shareholders”
above. |
|
The Singapore Companies Act mandates that specified corporate actions require approval
by the shareholders in a general meeting, notably:
•
notwithstanding anything in our Constitution, directors are not permitted to carry into
effect any proposals for disposing of the whole or substantially the whole of Kenon’s undertaking or property unless those proposals
have been approved by shareholders in a general meeting;
•
subject to the constitution of each amalgamating company, an amalgamation
proposal must be approved by the shareholders of each amalgamating company via special resolution at a general meeting; and
•
notwithstanding anything in our Constitution, the directors may not, without
the prior approval of shareholders, issue shares, including shares being issued in connection with corporate actions. |
Shareholder Action Without a Meeting | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s
certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize such action, consent in writing. It is not uncommon for a corporation’s certificate of incorporation to prohibit such
action. |
|
There are no equivalent provisions under the Singapore Companies Act in respect of
passing shareholders’ resolutions by written means that apply to public companies listed on a securities exchange. |
Shareholder Suits | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a stockholder may bring a derivative action
on behalf of the corporation to enforce the rights of the corporation. An individual also may commence a class action suit on behalf of
himself or herself and other similarly situated stockholders where the requirements for maintaining a class action under the Delaware
General Corporation Law have been met. A person may institute and maintain such a suit only if such person was a stockholder at the time
of the transaction which is the subject of the suit or his or her shares thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law. Additionally,
under Delaware case law, the plaintiff generally must be a stockholder not only at the time of the transaction which is the subject of
the suit, but also through the duration of the derivative suit. Delaware Law also requires that the derivative plaintiff make a demand
on the directors of the corporation to assert the corporate claim before the suit may be prosecuted by the derivative plaintiff, unless
such demand would be futile. |
|
Derivative actions
The Singapore Companies Act has a provision which provides a mechanism enabling any
registered shareholder to apply to the court for permission to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company.
In addition to registered shareholders, courts are given the discretion to allow such
persons as they deem proper to apply as well (e.g., beneficial owners of shares or individual directors).
This provision of the Singapore Companies Act is primarily used by minority shareholders
to bring an action in the name and on behalf of the company or intervene in an action to which the company is a party for the purpose
of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the company.
Class actions
The concept of class action suits, which allows individual shareholders to bring an
action seeking to represent the class or classes of shareholders, generally does not exist in Singapore. However, it is possible as a
matter of procedure for a number of shareholders to lead an action and establish liability on behalf of themselves and other shareholders
who join in or who are made parties to the action.
Further, there are certain circumstances in which shareholders may file and prove
their claims for compensation in the event that Kenon has been convicted of a criminal offense or has a court order for the payment of
a civil penalty made against it.
Additionally, for as long as Kenon is listed in the U.S. or in Israel, Kenon has undertaken
not to claim that it is not subject to any derivative/class action that may be filed against it in the U.S. or Israel, as applicable,
solely on the basis that it is a Singapore company. |

Dividends or Other Distributions; Repurchases and Redemptions
| ||
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends
out of statutory surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or for
the preceding fiscal year as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is
not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon
the distribution of assets.
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, any corporation may purchase or redeem
its own shares, except that generally it may not purchase or redeem these shares if the capital of the corporation is impaired at the
time or would become impaired as a result of the redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that
are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its shares if the shares are to be retired
and the capital reduced. |
|
The Singapore Companies Act provides that no dividends can be paid to shareholders
except out of profits.
The Singapore Companies Act does not provide a definition on when profits are deemed
to be available for the purpose of paying dividends and this is accordingly governed by case law. Our Constitution provides that no dividend
can be paid otherwise than out of profits of Kenon.
Acquisition of a company’s own shares
The Singapore Companies Act generally prohibits a company from acquiring its own shares
subject to certain exceptions. Any contract or transaction by which a company acquires or transfers its own shares is void. However, provided
that it is expressly permitted to do so by its Constitution and subject to the special conditions of each permitted acquisition contained
in the Singapore Companies Act, Kenon may:
•
redeem redeemable preference shares (the redemption of these shares will not
reduce the capital of Kenon). Preference shares may be redeemed out of capital if all the directors make a solvency statement in relation
to such redemption in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act;
•
whether listed (on an approved exchange in Singapore or any securities exchange outside
Singapore) or not, make an off-market purchase of its own shares in accordance with an equal access scheme authorized in advance at a
general meeting;
•
whether listed on a securities exchange (in Singapore or outside Singapore) or
not, make a selective off-market purchase of its own shares in accordance with an agreement authorized in advance at a general meeting
by a special resolution where persons whose shares are to be acquired and their associated persons have abstained from voting; and
•
whether listed (on an approved exchange in Singapore or any securities exchange outside
Singapore) or not, make a purchase of its own shares under a contingent purchase contract which has been authorized in advance at a general
meeting by a special resolution. Kenon may also purchase its own shares by an order of a Singapore court.
The total number of ordinary shares that may be acquired by Kenon in a relevant period
may not exceed 20% of the total number of ordinary shares in that class as of the date of the resolution pursuant to the relevant share
repurchase provisions under the Singapore Companies Act. Where, however, Kenon has reduced its share capital by a special resolution or
a Singapore court made an order to such effect, the total number of ordinary shares shall be taken to be the total number of ordinary
shares in that class as altered by the special resolution or the order of the court. Payment must be made out of Kenon’s distributable
profits or capital, provided that Kenon is solvent. Such payment may include any expenses (including brokerage or commission) incurred
directly in the purchase or acquisition by Kenon of its ordinary shares.
Financial assistance for the acquisition of shares
Kenon may not give financial assistance to any person whether directly or indirectly
for the purpose of:
•
the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares in Kenon or units of such shares;
or
•
the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares in its holding company or ultimate
holding company, as the case may be, or units of such shares. Financial assistance may take the form of a loan, the giving of a guarantee, the provision
of security, the release of an obligation, the release of a debt or otherwise.
However, Kenon may provide financial assistance for the acquisition of its shares
or shares in its holding company if it complies with the requirements (including, where applicable, approval by the board of directors
or by the passing of a special resolution by its shareholders) set out in the Singapore Companies Act. Our Constitution provides that
subject to the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, we may purchase or otherwise acquire our own shares upon such terms and subject
to such conditions as we may deem fit. These shares may be held as treasury shares or cancelled as provided in the Singapore Companies
Act or dealt with in such manner as may be permitted under the Singapore Companies Act. On cancellation of the shares, the rights and
privileges attached to those shares will expire. |

Transactions with Officers and Directors | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, some contracts or transactions in which
one or more of a corporation’s directors has an interest are not void or voidable because of such interest provided that some conditions,
such as obtaining the required approval and fulfilling the requirements of good faith and full disclosure, are met. Under the Delaware
General Corporation Law, either (i) the stockholders or the board of directors must approve in good faith any such contract or transaction
after full disclosure of the material facts or (ii) the contract or transaction must have been “fair” as to the corporation
at the time it was approved. If board approval is sought, the contract or transaction must be approved in good faith by a majority of
disinterested directors after full disclosure of material facts, even though less than a majority of a quorum. |
|
Under the Singapore Companies Act, the chief executive officer and directors are not
prohibited from dealing with Kenon, but where they have an interest in a transaction with Kenon, that interest must be disclosed to the
board of directors. In particular, the chief executive officer and every director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested
in a transaction or proposed transaction with Kenon must, as soon as practicable after the relevant facts have come to such officer or
director’s knowledge, declare the nature of such officer or director’s interest at a board of directors’ meeting or
send a written notice to Kenon containing details on the nature, character and extent of his interest in the transaction or proposed transaction
with Kenon.
In addition, a director or chief executive officer who holds any office or possesses
any property which, directly or indirectly, duties or interests might be created in conflict with such officer’s duties or interests
as director or chief executive officer, is required to declare the fact and the nature, character and extent of the conflict at a meeting
of directors or send a written notice to Kenon containing details on the nature, character and extent of the conflict.
The Singapore Companies Act extends the scope of this statutory duty of a director
or chief executive officer to disclose any interests by pronouncing that an interest of a member of the director’s or, as the case
may be, the chief executive officer’s family (including spouse, son, adopted son, step-son, daughter, adopted daughter and step-daughter)
will be treated as an interest of the director.
There is however no requirement for disclosure where the interest of the director
or chief executive officer (as the case may be) consists only of being a member or creditor of a corporation which is interested in the
transaction or proposed transaction with Kenon if the interest may properly be regarded as immaterial. Where the transaction or proposed
transaction relates to any loan to Kenon, no disclosure need be made where the director or chief executive officer has only guaranteed
or joined in guaranteeing the repayment of such loan, unless the constitution provides otherwise.
Further, where the proposed transaction is to be made with or for the benefit of a
related corporation (i.e., the holding company, subsidiary or subsidiary of a common holding company), no disclosure need be made of the
fact that the director or chief executive officer is also a director or chief executive officer of that corporation, unless the constitution
provides otherwise.
Subject to specified exceptions, including a loan to a director for expenditure in
defending criminal or civil proceedings, etc. or in connection with an investigation, or an action proposed to be taken by a regulatory
authority in connection with any alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him in relation to Kenon, the Singapore
Companies Act prohibits Kenon from: (i) making a loan or quasi-loan to its directors or to directors of a related corporation (each, a
“relevant director”); (ii) giving a guarantee or security in connection with a loan or quasi-loan made to a relevant director
by any other person; (iii) entering into a credit transaction as creditor for the benefit of a relevant director; (iv) giving a guarantee
or security in connection with such credit transaction entered into by any person for the benefit of a relevant director; (v) taking part
in an arrangement where another person enters into any of the transactions in (i) to (iv) above or (vi) below and such person obtains
a benefit from Kenon or a related corporation; or (vi) arranging for the assignment to Kenon or assumption by Kenon of any rights, obligations
or liabilities under a transaction in (i) to (v) above. Kenon is also prohibited from entering into the transactions in (i) to (vi) above
with or for the benefit of a relevant director’s spouse or children (whether adopted or naturally or step-children). |

Dissenters’ Rights | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a stockholder of a corporation participating
in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the
stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would
otherwise receive in the transaction. |
|
There are no equivalent provisions under the Singapore Companies Act. |
Cumulative Voting | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may adopt in its bylaws
that its directors shall be elected by cumulative voting. When directors are elected by cumulative voting, a stockholder has the number
of votes equal to the number of shares held by such stockholder times the number of directors nominated for election. The stockholder
may cast all of such votes for one director or among the directors in any proportion. |
|
There is no equivalent provision under the Singapore Companies Act in respect of companies
incorporated in Singapore. |
Anti-Takeover Measures | ||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate of incorporation of a
corporation may give the board the right to issue new classes of preferred stock with voting, conversion, dividend distribution, and other
rights to be determined by the board at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover attempt and thereby preclude shareholders
from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.
In addition, Delaware law does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a stockholder
rights plan, or “poison pill,” which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from realizing a potential
premium over the market value of their shares. |
|
The constitution of a Singapore company typically provides that the company may allot
and issue new shares of a different class with preferential, deferred, qualified or other special rights as its board of directors may
determine with the prior approval of the company’s shareholders in a general meeting. Our Constitution provides that our shareholders
may grant to our board the general authority to issue such preference shares until the next general meeting.
Singapore law does not generally prohibit a corporation from adopting “poison
pill” arrangements which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over
the market value of their shares.
However, under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, if, in the course of
an offer, or even before the date of the offer announcement, the board of the offeree company has reason to believe that a bona fide offer
is imminent, the board must not, except pursuant to a contract entered into earlier, take any action, without the approval of shareholders
at a general meeting, on the affairs of the offeree company that could effectively result in any bona fide offer being frustrated or the
shareholders being denied an opportunity to decide on its merits.
For further information on the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, see “—Takeovers.”

Financial Instruments
|
a) |
Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
|
Initial recognition and measurement
The Group initially recognizes trade receivables and other investments on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized on the date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. As a rule, a financial asset, other than a trade receivable without a significant financing component, or a financial liability, is initially measured at fair value with the addition, for a financial asset or a financial liability that are not presented at fair value through profit or loss, of transaction costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition or the issuance of the financial asset or the financial liability. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at the transaction price. Trade receivables originating in contract assets are initially measured at the carrying amount of the contract assets on the date of reclassification from contract assets to receivables.
Financial assets - classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).
Financial assets are not reclassified in subsequent periods, unless, and only to the extent that the Group changes its business model for the management of financial assets, in which case the affected financial assets are reclassified at the beginning of the reporting period following the change in the business model.
|
- | The objective of the entity's business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and |
- |
The contractual terms of the financial asset create entitlement on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
|
- |
It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
|
- |
Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
|
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
b) |
Subsequent measurement
|
• |
the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;
|
• |
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;
|
• |
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
|
• |
how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
|
• |
the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
|
• |
contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
|
• |
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;
|
• |
prepayment and extension features; and
|
• |
terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
|

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
c) | Impairment |
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
- |
It is not probable that the borrower will fully meet its payment obligations to the Company, and the Company has no right to perform actions such as the realization of collaterals (if any); or
|
- |
The contractual payments in respect of the financial asset are more than 90 days in arrears.
|
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
- |
the change is necessary as a direct consequence of the reform; and
|
- |
the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis – i.e. the basis immediately before the change.
|
- |
designating an alternative benchmark rate as the hedged risk;
|
- |
updating the description of hedged item, including the description of the designated portion of the cash flows or fair value being hedged; or
|
- |
updating the description of the hedging instrument.
|
- |
it makes a change required by interest rate benchmark reform by using an approach other than changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the hedging instrument;
|
- |
it chosen approach is economically equivalent to changing the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of the original hedging instrument; and
|
- |
the original hedging instrument is not derecognized

(1) |
The Group applied IFRS 3 and allocate the fair value of the facilities and the electricity supply license to a single asset. The fair value was determined by an independent appraiser using the income approach, the MultiPeriod Excess Earning Method. The valuation methodology included several key assumptions that constituted the basis for cash flow forecasts, including, among other things, electricity and gas prices, and nominal post-tax discount rate of 8%-8.75%. The said assets are amortized over 27 years from the acquisition date, considering an expected residual value at the end of the assets’ useful life.
|
(2) |
The fair value of the land was determined by an external and independent land appraiser using the discounted cash flow technique (“DCF”) of 8%.
|
(3) |
The loans were repaid immediately after the acquisition date.
|
(4) |
The goodwill arising as part of the business combination reflects the synergy between the activity of the Gat Partnership and the Rotem Power Plant.
|
(5) |
The consideration includes a cash payment of NIS 270 million (approximately $75 million) plus deferred consideration, whose present value is estimated at NIS 285 million (approximately $79 million).

Issuances of new shares by OPC
|
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
9. |
Rights issuance
In September 2021, OPC issued rights to purchase 13,174,419 ordinary OPC shares of NIS 0.01 per value each (hereinafter - the “Rights”), in connection with the development and expansion of OPC’s activity in the USA. The Rights were offered such that each holder of ordinary shares of OPC who held 43 ordinary shares was entitled to purchase one right unit comprising of three shares at a price of NIS 75 (NIS 25 per share). Through the deadline for exercising the rights, notices of exercise were received for the purchase of 13,141,040 ordinary shares (constituting approximately 99.7% of the total shares offered in the rights offering). The gross proceeds from the exercised rights amounted to approximately NIS 329 million (approximately $102 million).
In October 2021, Kenon exercised rights for the purchase of approximately 8 million shares for total consideration of approximately NIS 206 million (approximately $64 million), which included its pro rata share and additional rights it purchased during the rights trading period plus the cost to purchase these additional rights. As a result, Kenon then held approximately 58.8% of the outstanding shares of OPC. Accordingly, the Group recognized $41 million in non-controlling interests and $60 million in accumulated profits arising from changes in the Group’s proportionate share of OPC.
Following completion of the share issuance as described in Note 11.9 and the above rights issuances in 2021, Kenon registered a decrease in equity interest in OPC from 59% to 55%. Accordingly in 2021, the Group recognized $104 million in non-controlling interests and $38 million in accumulated profits arising from changes in the Group’s proportionate share of OPC.
|
10. |
Impairment of assets
On April 17, 2024, the Israeli government rejected National Infrastructures Plan (“NIP”) 20B, for the construction of a natural gas-fired power generation plant (hereinafter - “Hadera 2 Project”). As a result, OPC assessed the recoverable amount of the Hadera 2 Project in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of approximately NIS 31 million (approximately $8 million). In June 2024, OPC filed a petition to the High Court of Justice and is considering further steps including legal action and other alternatives to the use of the site.
These impairment losses were recognized as part of the financial statement caption “Other (expenses)/income, net”.
|
11. |
Dividends
Following the growth strategy adopted by OPC and the expansion of operation targets in recent years, taking into account OPC’s financial strength, from March 2024, OPC’s dividend distribution policy will be suspended for two years. After the said suspension period, the Board of Directors will discuss the possible resumption of the dividend distribution policy and its applicability to the circumstances, if any.

|
Singapore-Kenon Holdings Ltd.
|
Board of Directors
|
||
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws would provide that the number of directors on the board of directors will be fixed from time to time by a vote of the majority of the authorized directors. Under
Delaware law, a board of directors can be divided into classes and cumulative voting in the election of directors is only permitted if expressly authorized in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation.
|
|
The constitution of companies will typically state the minimum and maximum number of directors as well as provide that the number of directors may be increased or reduced by shareholders via ordinary resolution
passed at a general meeting, provided that the number of directors following such increase or reduction is within the maximum and minimum number of directors provided in the constitution and the Singapore Companies Act, respectively. Our
Constitution provides that, unless otherwise determined by a general meeting, the minimum number of directors is five and the maximum number is 12.
|
Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors
|
||
A typical certificate of incorporation provides for the elimination of personal monetary liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duties as directors to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of
Delaware, except for liability (i) for any breach of a director’s loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to the liability of directors for unlawful payment of a dividend or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. A typical certificate of incorporation would also provide that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended so as to allow further elimination of, or limitations on, director liability, then the liability of
directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended.
|
|
Pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act, any provision (whether in the constitution, contract or otherwise) purporting to exempt
or indemnify a director (to any extent) from any liability attaching in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to Kenon will be void except as permitted under the Singapore Companies Act.
Nevertheless, a director can be released by the shareholders of Kenon for breaches of duty to Kenon, except in the case of fraud, illegality, insolvency and oppression or disregard of minority interests.
Our Constitution currently provides that, subject to the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and every other act for the time being in force concerning companies and affecting Kenon, every director,
auditor, secretary or other officer of Kenon and its subsidiaries and affiliates shall be entitled to be indemnified by Kenon against all liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties and where he serves at the
request of Kenon as a director, officer, employee or agent of any subsidiary or affiliate of Kenon or in relation thereto, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, which relate to
anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of Kenon, and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material
breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with an application under statute in respect of such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.
|
Interested Shareholders
|
||
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in specified corporate transactions (such as mergers, stock and asset sales, and loans) with an
“interested stockholder” for three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to specified exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person or group that owns 15% or more of the corporation’s
outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights, and stock with respect to which the person has
voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the voting stock at any time within the previous three years.
A Delaware corporation may elect to “opt out” of, and not be governed by, Section 203 through a provision in either its original certificate of incorporation, or an amendment to its original certificate or bylaws
that was approved by majority stockholder vote. With a limited exception, this amendment would not become effective until 12 months following its adoption.
|
|
There are no comparable provisions in Singapore with respect to public companies which are not listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.
|
Removal of Directors
|
||
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock, directors may be removed at any time by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority, or in some instances a supermajority, of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. A certificate of incorporation could also
provide that such a right is only exercisable when a director is being removed for cause (removal of a director only for cause is the default rule in the case of a classified board).
|
|
According to the Singapore Companies Act, directors of a public company may be removed before expiration of their term of office with or without cause by ordinary resolution (i.e., a resolution which is passed by
a simple majority of those shareholders present and voting in person or by proxy). Notice of the intention to move such a resolution has to be given to Kenon not less than 28 days before the meeting at which it is moved. Kenon shall then give
notice of such resolution to its shareholders not less than 14 days before the meeting. Where any director removed in this manner was appointed to represent the interests of any particular class of shareholders or debenture holders, the
resolution to remove such director will not take effect until such director’s successor has been appointed.
Our Constitution provides that Kenon may by ordinary resolution of which special notice has been given, remove any director before the expiration of his period of office, notwithstanding anything in the
constitution or in any agreement between Kenon and such director and appoint another person in place of the director so removed.
|
Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors
|
||
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock, any vacancy, whether arising through death, resignation, retirement, disqualification,
removal, an increase in the number of directors or any other reason, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors, even if such directors remaining in office constitute less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Any
newly elected director usually holds office for the remainder of the full term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of the class of directors to which the newly elected director has been elected expires.
|
|
The constitution of a Singapore company typically provides that the directors have the power to appoint any person to be a director, either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors, but so
that the total number of directors will not at any time exceed the maximum number fixed in the constitution. Any newly elected director shall hold office until the next following annual general meeting, where such director will then be
eligible for re-election. Our Constitution provides that the shareholders may by ordinary resolution, or the directors may, appoint any person to be a director as an additional director or to fill a vacancy provided that any person so
appointed by the directors will only hold office until the next annual general meeting, and will then be eligible for re-election.
|
Amendment of Governing Documents
|
||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation require the approval of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the
amendment. If a class vote on the amendment is required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class is required, unless a greater proportion is specified in the certificate of incorporation or by
other provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the board of directors may amend bylaws if so authorized in the charter. The stockholders of a Delaware corporation also have the power to
amend bylaws.
|
|
Our Constitution may be altered by special resolution (i.e., a resolution passed by at least a three-fourths majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy at a meeting for which not less
than 21 days’ written notice is given). The board of directors has no right to amend the constitution.
|
Meetings of Shareholders
|
||
Annual and Special Meetings
Typical bylaws provide that annual meetings of stockholders are to be held on a date and at a time fixed by the board of directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a special meeting of stockholders
may be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized to do so in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.
Quorum Requirements
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws can specify the number of shares which constitute the quorum required to conduct business at a meeting, provided
that in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting.
|
|
Annual General Meetings
All companies are required to hold an annual general meeting once every calendar year. The first annual general meeting was required to be held within 18 months of Kenon’s incorporation and subsequently, annual
general meetings must be held within six months after Kenon’s financial year end.
Extraordinary General Meetings
Any general meeting other than the annual general meeting is called an “extraordinary general meeting.” Two or more members (shareholders) holding not less than 10% of the total number of issued shares (excluding
treasury shares) may call an extraordinary general meeting. In addition, the constitution usually also provides that general meetings may be convened in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act by the directors.
Notwithstanding anything in the constitution, the directors are required to convene a general meeting if required to do so by requisition (i.e., written notice to directors requiring that a meeting be called) by
shareholder(s) holding not less than 10% of the total number of paid-up shares of Kenon carrying voting rights.
Our Constitution provides that the directors may, whenever they think fit, convene an extraordinary general meeting.
Quorum Requirements
Our Constitution provides that shareholders entitled to vote holding 33 and 1/3 percent of our issued and paid-up shares, present in person or by proxy at a meeting, shall be a quorum. In the event a quorum is
not present, the meeting (i) (if not requisitioned by shareholders) may be adjourned for one week; and (ii) (if requisitioned by shareholders) shall be dissolved.
|
Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Employers
|
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to specified limitations in the case of derivative suits brought by a corporation’s stockholders in its name, a corporation may indemnify any person who is made
a party to any third-party action, suit or proceeding on account of being a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding through, among
other things, a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the suit or proceeding, if the person:
• acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or, in some circumstances, at least not
opposed to its best interests; and
• in a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Delaware corporate law permits indemnification by a corporation under similar circumstances for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such persons in connection with the defense
or settlement of a derivative action or suit, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery or the
court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the court deems to be proper.
|
The Singapore Companies Act specifically provides that Kenon is allowed to:
• purchase and maintain for any officer insurance against any liability attaching to such officer in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust
in relation to Kenon;
• indemnify such officer against liability incurred by a director to a person other than Kenon except when the indemnity is against (i) any liability of the director to
pay a fine in criminal proceedings or a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (however arising); or (ii) any liability incurred by the officer (1) in
defending criminal proceedings in which he is convicted, (2) in defending civil proceedings brought by Kenon or a related company of Kenon in which judgment is given against him or (3) in connection with an application for relief under
specified sections of the Singapore Companies Act in which the court refuses to grant him relief;
• indemnify any auditor against any liability incurred or to be incurred by such auditor in defending any proceedings (whether civil or criminal) in which judgment is
given in such auditor’s favor or in which such auditor is acquitted; or
• indemnify any auditor against any liability incurred by such auditor in connection with any application under specified sections of the Singapore Companies Act in which
relief is granted to such auditor by a court.
|
To the extent a director, officer, employee or agent is successful in the defense of such an action, suit or proceeding, the corporation is required by Delaware corporate law to indemnify such person for expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred thereby. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such persons in defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of that person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that that person is not entitled to be so indemnified.
|
|
In cases where, inter alia, an officer is sued by Kenon, the Singapore Companies Act gives the court the power to relieve directors either wholly or partially from the consequences of their negligence, default,
breach of duty or breach of trust. However, Singapore case law has indicated that such relief will not be granted to a director who has benefited as a result of his or her breach of trust. In order for relief to be obtained, it must be shown
that (i) the director acted reasonably; (ii) the director acted honestly; and (iii) it is fair, having regard to all the circumstances of the case including those connected with such director’s appointment, to excuse the director.
Our Constitution currently provides that, subject to the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and every other act for the time being in force concerning companies and affecting Kenon, every director,
auditor, secretary or other officer of Kenon and its subsidiaries and affiliates shall be entitled to be indemnified by Kenon against all liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties and where he serves at the
request of Kenon as a director, officer, employee or agent of any subsidiary or affiliate of Kenon or in relation thereto, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, which relate to
anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of Kenon, and in which judgment is given in his favor (or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material
breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with an application under statute in respect of such act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.
|
Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations
|
||
Generally, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, completion of a merger, consolidation, or the sale, lease or exchange of substantially all of a corporation’s assets or dissolution requires approval by the
board of directors and by a majority (unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage) of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote.
The Delaware General Corporation Law also requires a special vote of stockholders in connection with a business combination with an “interested stockholder” as defined in section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. For further information on such provisions, see “-Interested Shareholders” above.
|
|
The Singapore Companies Act mandates that specified corporate actions require approval by the shareholders in a general meeting, notably:
• notwithstanding anything in our Constitution, directors are not permitted to carry into effect any proposals for disposing of the whole or substantially the whole of
Kenon’s undertaking or property unless those proposals have been approved by shareholders in a general meeting;
• subject to the constitution of each amalgamating company, an amalgamation proposal must be approved by the shareholders of each amalgamating company via special
resolution at a general meeting; and
• notwithstanding anything in our Constitution, the directors may not, without the prior approval of shareholders, issue shares, including shares being issued in
connection with corporate actions.
|
Shareholder Action Without a Meeting
|
||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at a meeting of
stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action, consent in writing.
It is not uncommon for a corporation’s certificate of incorporation to prohibit such action.
|
|
There are no equivalent provisions under the Singapore Companies Act in respect of passing shareholders’ resolutions by written means that apply to public companies listed on a securities exchange.
|
Shareholder Suits
|

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a stockholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the corporation to enforce the rights of the corporation. An individual
also may commence a class action suit on behalf of himself or herself and other similarly situated stockholders where the requirements for maintaining a class action under the Delaware General Corporation Law have been met. A person may
institute and maintain such a suit only if such person was a stockholder at the time of the transaction which is the subject of the suit or his or her shares thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law. Additionally, under
Delaware case law, the plaintiff generally must be a stockholder not only at the time of the transaction which is the subject of the suit, but also through the duration of the derivative suit. Delaware Law also requires that the derivative
plaintiff make a demand on the directors of the corporation to assert the corporate claim before the suit may be prosecuted by the derivative plaintiff, unless such demand would be futile.

Derivative actions
The Singapore Companies Act has a provision which provides a mechanism enabling any registered shareholder to apply to the court for permission to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company.
In addition to registered shareholders, courts are given the discretion to allow such persons as they deem proper to apply as well (e.g., beneficial owners of shares or individual directors).
It should be noted that this provision of the Singapore Companies Act is primarily used by minority shareholders to bring an action in the name and on behalf of the company or intervene in an action to which the
company is a party for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the company.
|
|
|
Class actions
The concept of class action suits, which allows individual shareholders to bring an action seeking to represent the class or classes of shareholders, generally does not exist in Singapore. However, it is possible
as a matter of procedure for a number of shareholders to lead an action and establish liability on behalf of themselves and other shareholders who join in or who are made parties to the action.
Further, there are certain circumstances in which shareholders may file and prove their claims for compensation in the event that Kenon has been convicted of a criminal offense or has a court order for the
payment of a civil penalty made against it.
Additionally, for as long as Kenon is listed in the U.S. or in Israel, Kenon has undertaken not to claim that it is not subject to any derivative/class action that may be filed against it in the U.S. or Israel,
as applicable, solely on the basis that it is a Singapore company.

Dividends or Other Distributions; Repurchases and Redemptions
|
The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of statutory surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is
declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and
outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets.
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, any corporation may purchase or redeem its own shares, except that generally it may not purchase or redeem these shares if
the capital of the corporation is impaired at the time or would become impaired as a result of the redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a
preference over another class or series of its shares if the shares are to be retired and the capital reduced
|
The Singapore Companies Act provides that no dividends can be paid to shareholders except out of profits.
The Singapore Companies Act does not provide a definition on when profits are deemed to be available for the purpose of paying dividends and this is accordingly governed by case law. Our Constitution provides
that no dividend can be paid otherwise than out of profits of Kenon.
Acquisition of a company’s own shares
The Singapore Companies Act generally prohibits a company from acquiring its own shares subject to certain exceptions. Any contract or transaction by which a company acquires or transfers its own shares is void.
However, provided that it is expressly permitted to do so by its Constitution and subject to the special conditions of each permitted acquisition contained in the Singapore Companies Act, Kenon may:
• redeem redeemable preference shares (the redemption of these shares will not reduce the capital of Kenon). Preference shares may be redeemed out of capital if all the
directors make a solvency statement in relation to such redemption in accordance with the Singapore Companies Act;
• whether listed (on an approved exchange in Singapore or any securities exchange outside Singapore) or not, make an off-market purchase of its own shares in accordance
with an equal access scheme authorized in advance at a general meeting;
• whether listed on a securities exchange (in Singapore or outside Singapore) or not, make a selective off-market purchase of its own shares in accordance with an
agreement authorized in advance at a general meeting by a special resolution where persons whose shares are to be acquired and their associated persons have abstained from voting; and
• whether listed (on an approved exchange in Singapore or any securities exchange outside Singapore) or not, make a purchase of its own shares under a contingent purchase
contract which has been authorized in advance at a general meeting by a special resolution.
|
.
|
|
Kenon may also purchase its own shares by an order of a Singapore court.
The total number of ordinary shares that may be acquired by Kenon in a relevant period may not exceed 20% of the total number of ordinary shares in that class as of the date of the resolution pursuant to the
relevant share repurchase provisions under the Singapore Companies Act. Where, however, Kenon has reduced its share capital by a special resolution or a Singapore court made an order to such effect, the total number of ordinary shares shall
be taken to be the total number of ordinary shares in that class as altered by the special resolution or the order of the court. Payment must be made out of Kenon’s distributable profits or capital, provided that Kenon is solvent. Such
payment may include any expenses (including brokerage or commission) incurred directly in the purchase or acquisition by Kenon of its ordinary shares.
Financial assistance for the acquisition of shares
Kenon may not give financial assistance to any person whether directly or indirectly for the purpose of:
• the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares in Kenon or units of such shares; or
• the acquisition or proposed acquisition of shares in its holding company or ultimate holding company, as the case may be, or units of such shares.
Financial assistance may take the form of a loan, the giving of a guarantee, the provision of security, the release of an obligation, the release of a debt or otherwise.
|
|
|
However, Kenon may provide financial assistance for the acquisition of its shares or shares in its holding company if it complies with the requirements (including, where applicable, approval by the board of
directors or by the passing of a special resolution by its shareholders) set out in the Singapore Companies Act. Our Constitution provides that subject to the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, we may purchase or otherwise acquire our
own shares upon such terms and subject to such conditions as we may deem fit. These shares may be held as treasury shares or cancelled as provided in the Singapore Companies Act or dealt with in such manner as may be permitted under the
Singapore Companies Act. On cancellation of the shares, the rights and privileges attached to those shares will expire.
|
Transactions with Officers and Directors
|
||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, some contracts or transactions in which one or more of a corporation’s directors has an interest are not void or voidable because of such interest provided that some
conditions, such as obtaining the required approval and fulfilling the requirements of good faith and full disclosure, are met. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, either (a) the stockholders or the board of directors must approve in
good faith any such contract or transaction after full disclosure of the material facts or (b) the contract or transaction must have been “fair” as to the corporation at the time it was approved. If board approval is sought, the contract or
transaction must be approved in good faith by a majority of disinterested directors after full disclosure of material facts, even though less than a majority of a quorum.
|
|
Under the Singapore Companies Act, the chief executive officer and directors are not prohibited from dealing with Kenon, but where they have an interest in a transaction with Kenon, that interest must be
disclosed to the board of directors. In particular, the chief executive officer and every director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a transaction or proposed transaction with Kenon must, as soon as practicable
after the relevant facts have come to such officer or director’s knowledge, declare the nature of such officer or director’s interest at a board of directors’ meeting or send a written notice to Kenon containing details on the nature,
character and extent of his interest in the transaction or proposed transaction with Kenon.
In addition, a director or chief executive officer who holds any office or possesses any property which, directly or indirectly, duties or interests might be created in conflict with such officer’s duties or
interests as director or chief executive officer, is required to declare the fact and the nature, character and extent of the conflict at a meeting of directors or send a written notice to Kenon containing details on the nature, character and
extent of the conflict.
The Singapore Companies Act extends the scope of this statutory duty of a director or chief executive officer to disclose any interests by pronouncing that an interest of a member of the director’s or, as the
case may be, the chief executive officer’s family (including spouse, son, adopted son, step-son, daughter, adopted daughter and step-daughter) will be treated as an interest of the director.
|
|
|
There is however no requirement for disclosure where the interest of the director or chief executive officer (as the case may be) consists only of being a member or creditor of a corporation which is interested
in the transaction or proposed transaction with Kenon if the interest may properly be regarded as immaterial. Where the transaction or proposed transaction relates to any loan to Kenon, no disclosure need be made where the director or chief
executive officer has only guaranteed or joined in guaranteeing the repayment of such loan, unless the constitution provides otherwise.
Further, where the proposed transaction is to be made with or for the benefit of a related corporation (i.e., the holding company, subsidiary or subsidiary of a common holding company), no disclosure need be made
of the fact that the director or chief executive officer is also a director or chief executive officer of that corporation, unless the constitution provides otherwise.
Subject to specified exceptions, including a loan to a director for expenditure in defending criminal or civil proceedings, etc. or in connection with an investigation, or an action proposed to be taken by a
regulatory authority in connection with any alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him in relation to Kenon, the Singapore Companies Act prohibits Kenon from: (i) making a loan or quasi-loan to its directors or to
directors of a related corporation (each, a “relevant director”); (ii) giving a guarantee or security in connection with a loan or quasi-loan made to a relevant director by any other person; (iii) entering into a credit transaction as
creditor for the benefit of a relevant director; (iv) giving a guarantee or security in connection with such credit transaction entered into by any person for the benefit of a relevant director; (v) taking part in an arrangement where another
person enters into any of the transactions in (i) to (iv) above or (vi) below and such person obtains a benefit from Kenon or a related corporation; or (vi) arranging for the assignment to Kenon or assumption by Kenon of any rights,
obligations or liabilities under a transaction in (i) to (v) above. Kenon is also prohibited from entering into the transactions in (i) to (vi) above with or for the benefit of a relevant director’s spouse or children (whether adopted or
naturally or step-children).
|
Dissenters’ Rights
|
||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a stockholder of a corporation participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to
which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.
|
|
There are no equivalent provisions under the Singapore Companies Act.
|
Cumulative Voting
|
||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may adopt in its bylaws that its directors shall be elected by cumulative voting. When directors are elected by cumulative voting, a stockholder has the
number of votes equal to the number of shares held by such stockholder times the number of directors nominated for election. The stockholder may cast all of such votes for one director or among the directors in any proportion.
|
|
There is no equivalent provision under the Singapore Companies Act in respect of companies incorporated in Singapore.
|
Anti-Takeover Measures
|
||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation may give the board the right to issue new classes of preferred stock with voting, conversion, dividend distribution,
and other rights to be determined by the board at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover attempt and thereby preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares
In addition, Delaware law does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a stockholder rights plan, or “poison pill,” which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from realizing a
potential premium over the market value of their shares.
|
|
The constitution of a Singapore company typically provides that the company may allot and issue new shares of a different class
with preferential, deferred, qualified or other special rights as its board of directors may determine with the prior approval of the company’s shareholders in a general meeting. Our Constitution provides that our shareholders may grant to
our board the general authority to issue such preference shares until the next general meeting.
Singapore law does not generally prohibit a corporation from adopting “poison pill” arrangements which could prevent a takeover attempt and also preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the
market value of their shares.
However, under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, if, in the course of an offer, or even before the date of the offer announcement, the board of the offeree company has reason to believe that a bona
fide offer is imminent, the board must not, except pursuant to a contract entered into earlier, take any action, without the approval of shareholders at a general meeting, on the affairs of the offeree company that could effectively result in
any bona fide offer being frustrated or the shareholders being denied an opportunity to decide on its merits.
For further information on the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, see “-Takeovers.”

Restricted Share Awards. The trading restrictions in this Policy do not apply to the vesting of restricted shares, or the exercise of a tax withholding right pursuant to which you elect to have the Group withhold
shares to satisfy tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of any restricted shares. The trading restrictions do apply, however, to any market sale of restricted shares and other equity compensation.
|
|
•
|
Other Similar Transactions. Any other purchase of Group Securities directly from the Group or sales of Group Securities directly to the relevant Group member are not subject to the trading restrictions of this Policy.
|
|
•
|
Special Transactions with Affiliates5. Any purchase of Group Securities directly from an affiliate of the Company or sales of Group Securities directly to an affiliate of the
Company (“Special Affiliate Transactions”) are not subject to the trading restrictions of this Policy, provided that (i) at the time of the Special Affiliate Transaction, the parties to the Special
Affiliate Transaction have access to the same information about the Group and neither party has material non-public information about the Group which is unavailable to his or her counterparty and (ii) the Special Affiliate Transaction does
not violate applicable insider trading laws and regulations. All Special Affiliate Transactions must be pre-cleared by the CEO.
|
|
•
|
Publicly-Traded Options and Contracts for Differences. You may not trade in options, warrants, puts, calls, and Contracts for Differences (as defined under Section 214 of Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act (Cap. 289)), or
similar instruments on Group Securities. Given the relatively short term of publicly-traded options, transactions in options may create the appearance that a director, officer, or employee is trading based on material non-public information
and focus a director’s, officer’s or other employee’s attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Group’s long-term objectives.
|
|
•
|
Short Sales. You may not engage in short sales of Group Securities. A short sale has occurred if the seller: (a) does not own the securities sold; or (b) does own the securities sold, but does not deliver them within 20
days or place them in the mail within 5 days of the sale. Short sales may reduce a seller’s incentive to improve the Group’s performance, and often have the potential to signal to the market that the seller lacks confidence in the Group’s
prospects.
|
|
•
|
Margin Accounts and Pledges. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material non-public information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Group Securities, you may
not hold Group Securities in a margin account or otherwise pledge Group Securities as collateral for a loan without first obtaining pre-clearance from the CEO.
|
|
•
|
Standing and Limit Orders. You may not place standing or limit orders on Group Securities without first obtaining pre-clearance from the CEO. Standing and limit orders create heightened risks for insider trading
violations because there is no control over the timing of purchases or sales that result from standing instructions to a broker, and as a result, the broker could execute a transaction when a director, officer, or other employee is in
possession of material non-public information.
|
|
•
|
Special Affiliate Transaction. You may not enter into a Special Affiliate Transaction without first obtaining pre-clearance from the CEO.
|
|
•
|
Avoid discussing confidential information with colleagues in places where you may be overheard by people who do not have a valid need to know such information, such as on elevators, in restaurants and
on airplanes.
|
|
•
|
Take great care when discussing confidential information on speaker phones or on cellular phones in locations where you may be overheard. Do not discuss such information with relatives or social
acquaintances.
|
|
•
|
Do not give your computer IDs and passwords to any other person. Password protect computers and log off when they are not in use.
|
|
•
|
Always put confidential documents away when not in use and, based upon the sensitivity of the material, keep such documents in a locked desk or office. Do not leave documents containing confidential information
where they may be seen by persons who do not have a need to know the content of the documents.
|
|
•
|
Be aware that the Internet and other external electronic mail carriers are not secure environments for the transmission of confidential information. Use Company-authorized encryption software to protect
confidential electronic communications.
|
|
•
|
Comply with the specific terms of any confidentiality agreements of which you are aware.
|
|
•
|
Upon termination of your employment, you must return to the Company (or the relevant Group entity from which such information was received) all physical (including electronic) copies of confidential
information as well as all other material embodied in any physical or electronic form that is based on or derived from such information, without retaining any copies.
|
|
•
|
You may not bring the confidential information of any former employer to the Group.

|
|
•
|
receive confidential information and are unsure if it is within the definition of material non-public information or whether its release might be contrary to a fiduciary or other duty or obligation, you should
not share it with anyone. To seek advice about what to do under those circumstances, you should contact the CEO. Consulting your colleagues can have the effect of exacerbating the problem. Containment of the information, until the legal
implications of possessing it are determined, is critical.

•
|
Kenon owns more than 50% of OPC, which is listed on the TASE and reports earnings on a quarterly and annual basis.
|
|
•
|
OPC provides quarterly and annual financial information to Kenon in connection with Kenon’s preparation of its financial statements; prior to the provision of such information to Kenon, Kenon is not aware of
financial information relating to OPC. Such information is typically provided to Kenon three to four weeks after the end of each quarter.
|
|
•
|
OPC has its own insider trading policy, which contains blackout periods which differ from those of Kenon (reflecting the different situation of OPC, including a different legal regime and market practice).
|
|
•
|
Certain executive officers and directors of Kenon serve on the Board of Directors of OPC. As a significant shareholder of OPC, Kenon’s blackout periods are designed to prohibit trading during OPC’s blackout
periods.
|
1.
|
Current public information. There must be adequate current public information available
regarding the Group. This requirement is only satisfied if the Company has filed all reports required by the Exchange Act during the twelve months preceding the sale.
|
2.
|
Manner of sale.7 The sale of Company Securities by a director or officer must be made in one of the following manners:
|
(a)
|
in an open market transaction through a broker at the prevailing market price for no
more than the usual and customary brokerage commission;
|
(b)
|
to a market maker at the price held out by the market maker; or
|
(c)
|
in a riskless principal transaction in which trades are executed at the same price,
exclusive of any explicitly disclosed markup or markdown, commission equivalent or other fee, and where the transaction is permitted to be reported as riskless under the rules of a self-regulatory organization.8
|
3.
|
Number
of shares which may be sold.
|
(d)
|
one percent of the outstanding shares of the same class of the Company; or
|
(e)
|
the average weekly reported trading volume in the four calendar weeks preceding the
transactions.
|
(f)
|
the average weekly reported trading volume in the four calendar weeks preceding the
sale; or
|
(g)
|
10 percent of the principal amount of the tranche of debt securities (or 10 percent
of the class of non-participatory preferred shares).
|
4.
|
Notice
of proposed sale. If the amount of securities proposed to be sold by a director or officer during any three-month period exceeds 5,000 shares or has
an aggregate sale price in excess of $50,000, the director or officer must electronically file a notice of sale with the SEC on Form 144 prior to, or concurrently with, the placing of the order to sell securities. This filing is
required to made electronically with the SEC, which requires obtaining filing codes from the SEC which can take several days.
|
5.
|
Holding
Periods. Any Company Securities acquired directly or indirectly from the Group in a transaction that was not registered with the SEC under the
Securities Act (restricted securities) must be held for six months prior to reselling such securities. There is no statutory minimum holding period for securities which were registered under the Securities Act or acquired in an
open-market transaction.

Definitions
|
|
a) |
“Company Group” means the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable.
|
|
b) |
“Covered Compensation” means any Incentive-Based Compensation granted, vested or paid to a person who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for the Incentive-Based Compensation and that was
Received (i) on or after October 2, 2023, being the effective date of Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, (ii) after the person became an Executive Officer and (iii) at a time that the Company had a class of securities listed

|
d) |
“Erroneously Awarded Compensation” means the amount of Covered Compensation granted, vested or paid to a person during the fiscal period when the applicable Financial Reporting Measure relating to such Covered Compensation was
attained that exceeds the amount of Covered Compensation that otherwise would have been granted, vested or paid to the person had such amount been determined based on the applicable Restatement, computed without regard to any taxes paid
(i.e., on a pre-tax basis). For Covered Compensation based on share price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in a
Restatement, the Committee will determine the amount of such Covered Compensation that constitutes Erroneously Awarded Compensation, if any, based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Restatement on the share price or total
shareholder return upon which the Covered Compensation was granted, vested or paid and the Committee shall maintain documentation of such determination and provide such documentation to the NYSE.
|
|
e) |
“Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

f) |
“Executive Officer” means the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president of the Company in charge of a
principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company. Executive
officers of the Company’s parent(s) or subsidiaries are deemed executive officers of the Company if they perform such policy-making functions for the Company. “Policy-making function” does not include policy-making functions that are not
significant. Both current and former Executive Officers are subject to the Policy in accordance with its terms.
|
|
g) |
“Financial Reporting Measure” means (i) any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures derived wholly or in part from
such measures and may consist of IFRS or non-IFRS financial measures (as defined under Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act), (ii) share price or (iii) total shareholder return. Financial

“Lookback Period” means the three completed fiscal years (plus any transition period of less than nine months that is within or immediately following the three completed fiscal years and that results from a change in the Company’s
fiscal year) immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare a Restatement for a given reporting period, with such date being the earlier of: (i) the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or the officer or
officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, or (ii) the date a court, regulator or other
legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Restatement. Recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation under the Policy is not dependent on if or when the Restatement is actually filed.

“Restatement” means a required accounting restatement of any Company financial statement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including (i) to correct
an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements (commonly referred to as a “Big R” restatement) or (ii) to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is
not material to the previously issued financial statements but that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (commonly referred to as a “little r”
restatement). Changes to the Company’s financial statements that do not represent error corrections under the then-current relevant accounting standards will not constitute Restatements. Recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation under
the Policy is not dependent on fraud or misconduct by any person in connection with the Restatement.
