Item 8.01 Other Events.
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to correct two typographical errors in the first sentence of the Item 8.01 disclosure contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Ampal-American Israel Corporation (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 2010 (the “Initial Form 8-K”). The Initial Form 8-K incorrectly stated (i) the date that Gadot Chemical Tankers and Terminals Ltd. (“Gadot”) entered into an agreement to purchase a chemical storage terminal as June 8, 2008 when the correct date was June 8, 2010 and (ii) the date that the Company announced Gadot’s entry into such agreement as June 14, 2008 when the correct date was June 14, 2010. As corrected, the first sentence of the Item 8.01 disclosure contained in the Initial Form 8-K should read in its entirety as follows: “On June 14, 2010, Ampal-American Israel Corporation (the “Company”) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Gadot Chemical Tankers and Terminals Ltd. (“Gadot”) entered into an agreement on June 8, 2010 to purchase a chemical storage terminal in Western Europe, with a storage capacity of approximately 100,000 cubic meters and occupying 25 hectares of land.”
Except for the foregoing revision, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend or update any other information contained in the Initial Form 8-K.
