For use by Zion acting as Subscription Agent

 

 

 

 

ZION OIL & GAS, INC. (the “Company”) is conducting a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) that entitles the holders of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as of the close of business on June 15, 2011 (the “Record Date”), to receive 0.25 of a subscription right (each, a “Right”) for each share of Common Stock held of record on the Record Date (i.e., ONE subscription right for each FOUR shares). Each whole Right entitles the holder to subscribe for and purchase one (1) unit (each a “Unit”) of the Company’s securities, with each Unit consisting of (i) one (1) share of  the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants to purchase two (2) additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share (each a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”; the “Basic Subscription Right”). Each Unit may be purchased at a per Unit subscription price of $5.00. The Warrant is exercisable for a one (1) year period beginning on the closing date after the expiration of the Rights Offering.

 

Set forth above is the number of shares of Units to which the holder whose name and address is set forth above is entitled to subscribe pursuant to the Basic Subscription Right. If you exercise your rights in full, you may also exercise an over-subscription right (the “Over-Subscription Right”) to purchase additional Units that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering, subject to availability and allocation of Units among persons exercising this Over-Subscription Right. If there is a change of address and you wish to subscribe, please note the new address on Form 2.  Your records will be updated with the new information.

No fractional subscription rights or fractional Units will be issued in this offering. Instead, the number of subscription rights will be rounded down to the next lowest whole number.

 

 

 

The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate may be exercised by duly completing Form 1. Rights holders are advised to review the Prospectus before determining whether to exercise their Rights. In addition, if certificates representing the shares of Common Stock included in the Unit and the Warrant instruments are to be issued in a name other than the registered holder or are to be sent to an address other than that shown above, also complete Form 2.

 

The registered owner whose name is inscribed hereon is entitled to subscribe for Units upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and instructions relating to the use hereof.

 

 

Except in limited circumstances described in the Prospectus, only you may exercise your Rights.

 

Rights holders should be aware that if they choose to exercise only part of their Rights, they may not receive a new Rights Certificate in sufficient time to exercise the remaining Rights evidenced thereby.
