Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 11, 2024, Ormat Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as underwriter (the “Underwriter”), and ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) in connection with an underwritten secondary offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which ORIX agreed to sell 3,700,000 shares (the “Underwritten Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an initial offering price of $76.20 per share. In addition, ORIX granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase an additional 555,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Underwritten Shares, the “Shares”). The Offering is expected to close on or about December 13, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
All of the Shares are being sold by ORIX, and the Company did not issue any new shares of Common Stock or receive any proceeds in connection with the Offering.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and ORIX and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, the Company and ORIX have agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments the Underwriter may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
