Neve Yarak, Israel, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- N2OFF, Inc. (NASDAQ: NITO) (“N2OFF” and the “Company”), a drug discovery company that is also investing in solar energy assets based on the RTB (Ready to Build) business model, announced advancement in its European portfolio via its partnership with Solterra Renewable Energy Ltd.

As announced on December 29, 2025, key milestones in Germany project, which includes solar energy PV and storage assets, have reduced permitting risks, unlocked value through smart capital deployment, and positioned projects for compelling monetization optionality.

Key Investor Highlights

  • Reduction in permitting and regulatory risk across core European assets
  • Advanced payment of $340,000 and receiving favourable terms in the project’s profit stake
  • Approximately $1.7 million in project-level value creation achieved through disciplined renegotiation of development economics

Germany Update: on track for Q3 2026 approval with savings secured

N2OFF’s flagship German solar project has advanced into the final stages of the permitting process and remains firmly on track toward expected approval in Q3 2026.

The first public consultation phase is nearing completion with no objections or material modification requests to date, a strong indicator of regulatory alignment, community acceptance, and planning integrity. Submission of the draft zoning plan for the final consultation phase is scheduled for late January 2026 following the holiday period, maintaining a clear development timeline.

In a demonstration of proactive value optimization, Solterra has indicated that an amendment to the development agreement was executed last week. Solterra will receive approximately $340,000 in advance funding to fuel faster progress, in exchange for a €11,000 per MW reduction in development fees, thereby increasing potential profit with approximately $ 1.7 million.

From a capital allocation perspective, this transaction represents a highly efficient redeployment of limited near-term capital to materially improve long-term project economics, increase embedded equity value, and enhance future exit or operating returns.

Strategic Perspective

The recent developments in Germany advance the Company’s European portfolio along the RTB value curve. By systematically reducing regulatory risk, tightening development economics, and preserving monetization flexibility, N2OFF continues to position itself as a disciplined capital allocator focused on scalable, infrastructure-backed value creation.
