Item 8.01
Other Events
 
On September 20, 2018, the Company’s German subsidiary, SolarEdge Technologies GmbH received a complaint filed by competitor SMA Solar Technology AG.

In its complaint, SMA Solar Technology requests inter alia an injunction and a determination for a claim for damages for sales in Germany. Plaintiff also suggests a value in dispute of five million Euros for both patents.
