Item 8.01 Other Matters
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc.,
(“Zion”), a Delaware corporation, which has an active petroleum exploration license onshore Israel, the
Megiddo-Jezreel License, comprising approximately 99,000 acres, on February 5, 2020, entered into a partially binding letter
of intent to purchase a drilling rig, drill pipe and related equipment for importation into Israel to continue its
exploration plans. The rig is a 1600 horsepower rig with two 1600 horsepower Caterpillar mud pumps, and it has nearly 15,000
feet of heavy-duty drill pipe. The rig underwent a category 4 certification in late 2017, and it has drilled two (2) wells
since then.
Zion and the seller plan to immediately
begin negotiating a definitive purchase agreement to close the purchase of the rig for the agreed sum of $5,600,000, subject
to satisfactory due diligence. The rig purchase will be a cash purchase payable in full at closing with no financing
required. No assurance can be provided that Zion will successfully enter into the rig purchase agreement.
On January 24, 2020, Zion incorporated a wholly
owned subsidiary, Zion Drilling, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the purpose of owning the rig and related equipment, and on
January 31, 2020, Zion incorporated another wholly owned subsidiary, Zion Drilling Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to act
as the contractor providing such drilling services. When Zion is not using the rig for its own exploration activities, Zion Drilling
Services may contract with other operators in Israel to provide drilling services at market rates then in effect.
Zion has the trademark “ZION DRILLING”
filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Zion has the trademark filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization
in Geneva, Switzerland, pursuant to the Madrid Agreement and Protocol. In addition, Zion has the trademark filed with the Israeli
Trademark Office in Israel.
