Safe Harbor Statement on Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information in this presentation includes forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and information relating to Ampal that are based on the beliefs
of management of Ampal as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the management of Ampal. When
used in this presentation, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," and similar expressions as they
relate to Ampal or Ampal's management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of Ampal
with respect to future events or future financial performance of Ampal, the outcome of which is subject to certain risks and other
factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements, including
among others, the economic and political conditions in Israel, the Middle East, including the situation in Iraq, and the global
business and economic conditions in the different sectors and markets where Ampal's portfolio companies operate. Should any of
these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcome may vary from
those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned. Subsequent written and oral forward-
looking statements attributable to Ampal or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary
statements in this paragraph. Please refer to the Ampal's annual, quarterly and periodic reports on file with the SEC for a more
detailed discussion of these and other risks that could cause results to differ materially. Ampal assumes no obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ampal uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation. Ampal uses non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental
measures of performance and believes these measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating our operations, period
over period. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for Ampal’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, investors should note that any non-
GAAP financial measures Ampal uses may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same
manner, as that of other companies. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures are included in this presentation.
