EXPLANATORY NOTE

Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. Announces the Results of the Tender for Classified Investors
for the Purchase of Series 6 Notes of the Company

Tel Aviv, Israel, September 20, 2023, Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENLT, TASE: ENLT) (“Enlight”) announced today, further to its announcement from September 19, 2023 of a potential notes offering in Israel, that the tender for classified investors (as defined in the regulations under the Securities Law, 1968, “Classified Investors”) was held yesterday for the issuance of Series 6 notes of the Company (by way of expansion of an existing series) (the “Notes” and the “Institutional Tender”, respectively).

The Notes were offered to the Classified Investors in units, with each unit consisting of NIS 1,000 principal amount, in a tender, for the price of the unit. As part of the Institutional Tender, the Classified Investors submitted prior undertakings for the Notes in a total monetary amount of approximately NIS 565 million (approximately $148 million). The Company intends to accept prior undertakings from Classified Investors to purchase 335,182 units of Series 6 Notes at a Minimum Unit Price of 952 NIS, totaling gross proceeds of NIS 319 million (approximately $84 million). The aforesaid Minimum Unit Price will constitute the Minimum Unit Price in the respective public tender under the shelf offering report the Company intends to file. It is hereby clarified that the publication of the shelf offering report and the execution of the issuance of the Notes are subject, among other things, to obtaining all the approvals required by law, including the approval of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. for the listing of the Notes and the resolution of the Company's Board of Directors, and there is no certainty that the offering will take place.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital purposes. They will bridge a portion of the project debt required to progress the Company’s large scale projects in the United States, until the full receipt of project finance and tax equity commitments. The Company expects to draw on said project financing as a source of funds to ultimately repay these newly issued senior unsecured notes. The Notes have a duration of 2.5 years.

Also, on September 20, 2023, "Midroog" confirmed an A2.il rating (stable) for the expansion of the series 6 in a total amount of up to NIS 340 million.

It is further clarified that the public offering, insofar as will be executed, will be done in the framework of a shelf offering report, by way of a uniform offer, that the scope of the offer to the public and the rest of its terms will be specified therein and that the final interest rates will be determined in the framework of the public tender, insofar as it will be executed. Any securities, if offered, will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation “S” promulgated under the Securities Act) without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Any offering of securities pursuant to the Company’s shelf prospectus dated September 8, 2023 and any shelf offering report, if made, will be made only in Israel. This announcement does not constitute a solicitation or an offer to buy any securities.
