(i) On June 23, 2011, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the prospectus supplement dated as of June 23, 2011 and accompanying base prospectus, as subsequently revised on June 29, 2011 (collectively, the “Prospectus”) relating to the Company’s previously announced rights offering of non-transferable subscription rights to the holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) as of the close of business on June 15, 2011 (the “Record Date”), to purchase up to 6,250,000 of Units (as defined below) of the Company’s securities. The Prospectus forms a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-174266) which was declared effective by the SEC on May 26, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”).
The Company is filing the items included in Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which relates to the rights offering, for the purpose of incorporating such items as exhibits to the Registration Statement.
Under the previously announced rights offering, the Company distributed, at no cost to stockholders, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase units (each a “Unit” and collectively the “Units”) of its securities to persons who owned shares of its Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, with each Unit consisting of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock and (b) warrants to purchase an additional two (2) shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”). Each shareholder received 0.25 of a subscription right for each share of Common Stock (i.e., ONE subscription right for every FOUR shares) owned as of close of business on the Record Date.
Each whole subscription right represents the right to purchase one Unit at a price of $5.00 per Unit, and may be exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 25, 2011, the scheduled expiration of the offer; however, the Company may extend the offering period at its sole discretion. The Warrant is exercisable for a one (1) year period beginning after the expiration of the rights offering, at an exercise price of $3.50 per share.
The rights offering also includes an over-subscription privilege which entitles a stockholder who exercises all of its basic subscription privilege the right to purchase additional Units that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among stockholders exercising their over-subscription right.
If the Company receives valid subscriptions for all of the Units available under the rights offering, then the gross proceeds of the offering will be $31,250,000, before offering related expenses which the Company estimates should not exceed $150,000. This figure does not include proceeds, if any, from any future exercise, if any, of the Warrants included in the Units.
The rights offering is being conducted via the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The proceeds from the rights offering are to be used to further Zion's oil and gas exploration program and, depending on the amounts raised, implement its plans to acquire control of a drilling rig and for general corporate purposes.
(ii) The Prospectus distributed to the stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date contained on pages 36 and 51 thereof erroneous references to the exercise period of the Warrants as expiring two years after the closing of the rights offering. As noted throughout the rest of the Prospectus and the accompanying subscription documents, the Warrants are exercisable for a one year period commencing on the closing of the rights offering and are scheduled to expire on the first anniversary of the issuance date.
