Singapore, October 28, 2026. Kenon Holdings Ltd.’s (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) (“Kenon”) subsidiary OPC Energy Ltd.

The maturity date of the term loan is the seventh anniversary of the closing date. The interest rate under the term loan is equal to a SOFR-based interest rate plus a spread of 2.5%. The ancillary facilities also bear interest and commitment fees.
The Financing Agreement is subject to conditions precedent to closing and includes customary financial covenants and other obligations including a negative pledge, limitations on debt incurrence, asset sales and distributions, among others, as well as customary undertakings, limitations, events of default and repayment provisions.
The Financing Agreement is secured by a first-ranking pledge on each of the Projects and their assets as well as a pledge over the equity interests in the Borrower.
