INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 1.01.		Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 27, 2011, Ormat Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an addendum to the deed of trust, dated as of August 3, 2010 (as amended or supplemented, the “Trust Deed”), with Ziv Haft Trust Company Ltd. as trustee, governing the issuance of the Company’s senior unsecured bonds, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and accept subscriptions from investors for approximately $88 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured bonds (the “Additional Bonds”) of the same series of bonds issued by the Company on August 4, 2010 (the “Original Bonds”). The terms and conditions of the Additional Bonds are identical to the Original Bonds. The description of such terms and conditions set forth under Item 1.01 in the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company dated August 5, 2010 is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company concluded the issuance of the Additional Bonds on February 2, 2011 outside the United States to investors who are not “U.S. persons” in an unregistered offering pursuant to, and subject to the requirements of, Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Additional Bonds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of existing indebtedness and the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of additional energy assets, including by way of construction, enhancement and expansion of its existing projects.

The Additional Bonds have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This filing shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Additional Bonds, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the Additional Bonds in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
