A Substantial Transaction in the Renewable Energy Market: It’s official - Migdal, a Prominent Israeli Insurance Company, Will Invest Approximately $355 Million in Global Energy Generation LLC (Doral LLC)

A substantial investment transaction for Migdal Insurance, Israel’s largest insurance company, and pension manager with assets under management of 90 billion dollars, in Global Energy Generation LLC (Doral LLC) was finalized on Tuesday.

The transaction outline includes, inter alia, an investment of approximately $110 million, in exchange for 20% of Doral LLC.

At the closing date, Migdal shall invest an amount of approximately $70 million, out of which approximately $20 million shall be used to purchase shares and repayment of certain outstanding shareholders loans from existing shareholders. An additional amount of $40 million shall be invested in Doral LLC upon the achievement of certain pre-defined milestones.

It was further agreed that in the event of an IPO of Doral LLC at a minimum valuation ranging between $1.5 – 2 billion, Migdal shall invest in Doral LLC an additional amount of $15 – 20 million on account of its existing interests in the company, all subject to the arrangements set forth in the investment agreement.

As part of the deal, Migdal Insurance will also participate in the first stage (480 MWdc) of Doral LLC's mega solar project in Indiana, with an estimated investment of $100 million. Doral LLC will retain its majority holding position and control of the project.

The Indiana solar project, which is expected to enter construction in 2021, covers over 12,000 acres, and has a total dc capacity estimated at 1.65 gigawatts. This is one of the most significant photovoltaic projects in the U.S.

The first phase of the project has already received most of the required approvals. It signed a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with AEP Energy Partners Inc., a subsidiary of American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) and one of the largest electric energy wholesale suppliers in the U.S. The agreement is one of the largest solar power purchase agreements in the PJM market.

In addition, Migdal Insurance will provide Doral LLC with a credit facility of an additional $130 million. Migdal’s investment will total approximately $355 million. The investment scope may be increased by hundreds of millions of dollars in the foreseeable future as more projects mature.
