The section of the Proxy Statement entitled "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION—Employment Agreements", which was originally set forth on pages 28 and 29 of the Proxy Statement, is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
 
Employment Agreements
 
The following are descriptions of the material terms of our NEOs’ employment agreements, as well as other factors that may help with an understanding of the data disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table and under the heading "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" above.
 
General

Isaac Angel is employed by Ormat Systems, one of our subsidiaries, and by us, and serves as our CEO. Doron Blachar is employed by Ormat Systems and serves as our CFO. Zvi Krieger is employed by Ormat Systems and serves as our Executive Vice President of the Electricity Segment.  Shimon Hatzir is employed by Ormat Systems and serves as our Executive Vice President of Engineering and Bob Sullivan is employed by us and serves as our Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development.
 
Each of Messrs. Angel, Blachar, Krieger and Hatzir is party to an employment agreement with Ormat Systems (and, in the case of Mr. Angel, also with us) that sets forth their respective terms of employment, which terms are generally applicable to all of Ormat Systems’ employees, covering matters such as vacation, health, and other benefits.  Mr. Sullivan has not entered into any such employment agreement with Ormat Systems or us.
 
Under the employment agreements of Messrs. Krieger, Hatzir and Blachar, either party may terminate the employment relationship upon thirty days up to one hundred and twenty days prior written notice, while Mr. Angel's agreement provides for prior written notice of six months.  However, termination for cause does not require any prior notice and an employee who is terminated for cause is not entitled to any subsequent payments.
 
The actual salary and other compensation arrangements of Messrs. Angel, Blachar, Krieger, Hatzir and Sullivan are agreed upon separately with each employee. Except for Mr. Sullivan, each of these individuals is also covered by Ormat Systems’ management insurance plan, to which Ormat Systems contributes a percentage of such individual’s salary, and which covers any compensation that such individual may be entitled to receive upon termination, such as severance pay pursuant to Israeli law for Israel-based employees. In addition, each of the individuals has the benefit of the use of a company-leased car.
 
The employment agreements of Messrs. Angel, Blachar, Krieger and Hatzir also contain provisions that are designed to restrict them from engaging in activities competitive with the business of the Company for a period ranging from 12 to 36 months following termination of employment and, in the case of the employment agreements of Messrs. Angel and Blachar, from soliciting any employees, customer or supplier of the Company for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months following termination of employment.

Isaac Angel
 
Pursuant to the employment agreement we entered with Mr. Angel, he is entitled to the following:

 
Salary: Annual gross salary of NIS 1,620,000 (equal to approximately $416,000 based on the representative exchange rate set by the Bank of Israel on March 4, 2016), which is linked to the Israeli consumer price index.

 
Annual Performance Bonus: If the Company's annual consolidated net income ("Annual Profits") is above $20 million, Mr. Angel will be entitled to receive an annual bonus (the "Annual Bonus") equal to (a) 0.75% of Annual Profits of up to $50 million (inclusive), and (b) 1.00% of the portion of the Annual Profits, if any, that is above $50 million; provided that, in any event, the Annual Bonus shall not exceed $750,000.

Initial Option Grant: Stock options granted on April 1, 2014 to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $29.52, the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. The options were granted under our 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan and vest in one installment on the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date of grant. These options expire seven and a half (7.5) years following the grant date.
 
 
Second Option Grant: Stock options granted on April 1, 2014 to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $29.52, the closing price of the common stock on the date of grant. These options were granted under our 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan and vest in four equal installments, commencing with the second (2nd) anniversary of the date of grant. These options expire six (6) years following the grant date.

 
Termination: Each of the Company and Mr. Angel may terminate the employment with the Company, for any reason, by providing six (6) months of prior notice of such termination (the "Notice Period"). Other than in the case of termination of employment with the Company for "cause", Mr. Angel will be entitled to continue to receive his compensation during the Notice Period.

 
Termination in connection with a Change of Control: In the event that Mr. Angel's employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or he resigns for a "good reason", within two (2) months before, or twelve (12) months following, the consummation of a "change of control" (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Angel is entitled to the following: (i) the Notice Period (and consequently, the period during which compensation is payable to Mr. Angel) will be extended from six (6) months to twelve (12) months; and (ii) all the stock options described above are accelerated and will become fully vested and exercisable.
 
See also "Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control" below.
