Ayalon Insurance Company enters the field of non-bank credit. The company made a rather complicated deal of a loan of NIS 20 million to Michman, which will pay interest of 4.9%, and at the same time granted Ayalon options at an exercise price of NIS 2,129. If Ayalon chooses to exercise the options in full, then it will become a stakeholder in Michman with a 5% holding in the company.

According to the agreement between Ayalon and Michman, the loan will be inferior to the Company’s Series A debentures and to the Company’s loan agreements with the banks and its repayment will be inferior to the repayment of the Company’s debentures and the repayment of the Company’s debts to the banks. The loan will bear a fixed interest rate of 4.9% per annum and will be paid at the end of each calendar quarter plus a management fee and other fees as is customary in such agreements.
