Ormat Technologies concludes prices $204 million of senior unsecured bonds

Ormat Technologies has concluded an auction tender and accepted subscriptions for US$204 million aggregate principal amount of two tranches (Series 2 approximately $ 67 million and Series 3 approximately $ 137 million) of senior unsecured bonds.

Ormat will issue the Bonds in an unregistered offering outside the United States to investors who are not "U.S. persons", as such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise subject to the requirements of Regulation S.

The Series 2 Bonds will mature in September 2020 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.7% per annum, payable semi-annually. The Series 3 Bonds will mature in September 2022 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.45% per annum, payable semi-annually. The Bonds will be repaid at maturity in a single bullet payment, unless earlier prepaid by Ormat pursuant to the terms and conditions of the trust instrument that will govern the Bonds. Both tranches received a rating of ilA+ from Maloot S&P in Israel with a stable outlook.

Ormat intends to use the proceeds from the offering and sale of the Bonds to prepay existing indebtedness, including prepayment fees of approximately $5 million. Ormat expects its annual interest expense to decrease as a result of this refinancing.

The Bonds will be listed on the TACT-Institutional System maintained by The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. The Bonds will not be resold in the United States or to any "U.S. person" absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
