Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

As described below in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, the Issuer, through Merhav Ampal Energy, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“MAE”), completed a transaction with Merhav for the purchase from Merhav of an additional portion of Merhav’s interest in East Mediterranean Gas Co. S.A.E., an Egyptian joint stock company (“EMG”). In consideration for the interest in EMG, the Issuer paid to Merhav $68.3 million in cash, issued a convertible promissory note to Merhav in the principal amount of $20 million (the “Convertible Promissory Note”) and agreed to issue to Merhav, subject to the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders, 8,602,151 shares of Class A Stock (the “New Merhav Shares”).

 

As described below in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, Merhav assigned to De Majorca, subject to obtaining shareholder approval of the issuance of the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares, (i) its right to receive the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares and (ii) the 10,248,002 shares of Class A Stock then owned by Merhav (the “Existing Merhav Shares”). The assignment was made by Merhav to De Majorca in consideration of De Majorca's obligation to pay to Merhav $87,653,211.45 (based on a price per share of $4.65).

 

As described below in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, Merhav entered into a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Trading Plan”) with Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. on June 13, 2008 for the purchase of shares of Class A Stock. As of August 14, 2008, Merhav has purchased 648,887 shares of Class A Stock through the Trading Plan for an approximate aggregate purchase price of $3,294,948. In addition to purchases made through the Trading Plan, Merhav has purchased 12,630 shares of Class A Stock for an approximate aggregate purchase price of $61,473 on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”), as of August 14, 2008. All such purchases made by Merhav through the Trading Plan and outside of the Trading Plan on the TASE were for cash, and the funds for these purchases were obtained through short term loans from Union Bank of Israel Ltd. (“UBI”). The loans have a term of one year and carry an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

EMG Transaction

 

On November 28, 2006, the Issuer, through MAE, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Merhav for the purchase from Merhav of an additional portion of Merhav’s interest in EMG pursuant to an option granted to the Issuer by Merhav in August 2006. The transaction closed on December 21, 2006.

 

Under the terms of this transaction, the Issuer acquired from Merhav the beneficial ownership of an additional 5.9% of the outstanding shares of EMG's capital stock. The purchase price for the EMG shares was approximately $128.3 million, of which approximately $68.3 million was paid to Merhav in cash, $40 million was paid in the form of the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares (based on a price of $4.65 per share) and the balance was paid in the form of the Convertible Promissory Note, which, at the option of Merhav, was payable in cash, additional shares of Class A Stock (based on a price per share of $4.65 per share), or a combination thereof. The Convertible Promissory Note bore interest at 6 months LIBOR (5.375%) and matured on September 20, 2007. The number of shares that could be acquired upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note in full (including 175,314 shares representing the accrued interest payable through the maturity date on the Convertible Promissory Note) was 4,476,389 shares of

 

 

SCHEDULE 13D

 

CUSIP NO. 032015 10 9

 

Page 11 of 31

 

 

Class A Stock. The Issuer had the option to pre-pay the Convertible Promissory Note at any time in

whole or in part and Merhav was not able to exercise the Convertible Promissory Note until after shareholder approval was obtained. The issuance of the shares in the EMG transaction was approved at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer on February 7, 2007. On September 20, 2007, Merhav exercised its option to convert the outstanding balance of $20,815,208 (which included accrued interest) on the Convertible Promissory Note into 4,476,389 shares of Class A Stock of the Issuer and was issued such shares in exchange for the Convertible Promissory Note. As permitted under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Merhav assigned its right to the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares to De Majorca as part of its restructuring (which is discussed below in greater detail). Merhav continues to own the 4,476,389 shares of Class A Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Promissory Note.

 

A copy of each of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Promissory Note were previously filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 to Amendment No. 6 to this Schedule 13D. The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Promissory Note set forth in this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the respective transaction documents.

 

Merhav Restructuring and Transfer of Merhav Shares to De Majorca

 

In connection with a restructuring of Merhav’s holdings, Merhav assigned to De Majorca, subject to obtaining shareholder approval of the issuance of the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares, (i) its right to receive the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares and (ii) the 10,248,002 Existing Merhav Shares (collectively, the “Merhav Assignment”). The Merhav Assignment was made in consideration of De Majorca's obligation to pay Merhav $87,653,211.45 (based on a price per share of $4.65).

 

As stated above, the Issuer’s shareholders approved the issuance of the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares on February 7, 2007. The transfer by Merhav to De Majorca of the legal title to the 10,248,002 Existing Merhav Shares and the issuance by the Issuer to De Majorca of the 8,602,151 New Merhav Shares were consummated simultaneously on March 27, 2007.

 

A copy of the assignment agreement relating to the Merhav Assignment was previously filed as Exhibit 1 to Amendment 7 to this Schedule 13D. The description of the Merhav Assignment set forth in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the assignment agreement.

 

Noy Liquidation; Repayment of Loans and Transfer of Noy Shares to Di-Rapallo

 

On December 26, 2006, Yosef A. Maiman made a loan to Y.M. Noy Investments Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Noy”) in the amount of $45,452,238 (the “YM Loan”) to permit Noy to repay its existing indebtedness to Bank Leumi Israel B.M. (the “Bank”) relating to the acquisition of Noy’s 11,750,132 shares of Class A Stock (the “Noy Shares”) in the amount of $45,451,987. Noy used the proceeds to pay off its loan from the Bank in full. As a result, the 11,750,132 Noy Shares were held by Noy free and clear of the Bank’s lien and all related guaranties and pledges made by Mr. Maiman and Merhav with respect to this Bank loan were terminated.

 

On December 29, 2006, Noy initiated liquidation proceedings pursuant to Israeli law. In connection with such liquidation, Mr. Maiman requested, in partial satisfaction of the property Mr. Maiman is entitled to receive in connection with such liquidation as lender under the YM Loan and as sole economic owner of Noy, that Noy deliver the 11,750,132 Noy Shares to Di-Rapallo, which had a value of US$55,989,379 (based on a price of $4.765 per share). The assignment of the 11,750,132 Noy Shares to Di-Rapallo occurred on January 10, 2007, pursuant to the terms of an assignment agreement between the parties.

A copy of the assignment agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 2 to Amendment 7 to this Schedule 13D. The description of this assignment set forth in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the assignment agreement.

 

Sale of Class A Stock by Di-Rapallo

 

On February 28, 2007, the Issuer filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) registering 7,000,000 shares of Class A Stock held by Di-Rapallo (the “Registered Shares”). The Registration Statement became effective on June 5, 2007. On June 10, 2007, Di-Rapallo disposed of 2,100,000 of the Registered Shares on the TASE for total consideration of $11,758,388, or approximately $5.60 per share. After the transaction, Di-Rapallo paid to the buyer of the 2,100,000 Registered Shares a distribution fee of $924,660, which includes any value added tax.

 

Merhav’s Trading Plan and Purchases on the TASE

 

On June 13, 2008, Merhav entered into the Trading Plan with Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. for the purchase of shares of Class A Stock, pursuant to which Merhav has purchased 648,887 shares of Class A Stock for an approximate aggregate purchase price of $3,294,948, as of August 14, 2008. In addition to shares purchased through the Trading Plan, Merhav has purchased 12,630 shares of Class A Stock for an approximate aggregate purchase price of $61,473 on the TASE, as of August 14, 2008. Annex A annexed hereto sets forth all such purchases made by Merhav through the Trading Plan on the NASDAQ Global Market (the “NASDAQ”) and outside of the Trading Plan on the TASE.

 

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has any plan or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

(a)       Based on 58,086,165 shares of Class A Stock outstanding as of July 28, 2008 (as set forth in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2008, filed on August 5, 2008), and after taking into account the potential issuance of an additional 359,375 shares of Class A Stock underlying the Options which are deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Maiman as of the date hereof (as described in Item 5(b) below), the group comprised of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of 33,997,566 shares of Class A Stock, representing approximately 58.2% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock. As described in Item 5(b) below, (i) Mr. Maiman may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 33,997,566 shares of Class A Stock, representing approximately 58.2% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock, (ii) each of Ohad Maiman, Noa Maiman and Yoav Maiman may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 28,500,285 shares of Class A Stock, representing approximately 49.1% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock, (iii) Di-Rapallo may be deemed the beneficial owner of 9,650,132 shares of Class A Stock, representing approximately 16.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock, (iv) Merhav may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5,137,906 shares of Class A Stock, representing approximately 8.8% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock and (v) De Majorca may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 18,850,153 shares of Class A Stock, representing approximately 32.5% of the issued and outstanding Class A Stock.

 

(b) Merhav and Mr. Maiman (by virtue of his 100% ownership interest in Merhav) each have the sole power to vote or direct the vote or to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 5,137,906 shares of Class A Stock beneficially owned by Merhav (the “Merhav Shares”). By virtue of the formation of the group, each of Ohad Maiman, Noa Maiman, Yoav Maiman, Di-Rapallo and De Majorca may be deemed

 

SCHEDULE 13D

 

CUSIP NO. 032015 10 9

 

Page 13 of 31

 

 

to share the power to vote the Merhav Shares but have no rights with respect to the disposition of the Merhav Shares.
