Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 31, 2014, Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the prospectus supplement dated as of March 27, 2014 and accompanying base prospectus dated March 27, 2014 (collectively, the “Prospectus”) relating to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan” or “DSPP”). The Prospectus forms a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-193336), as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 27, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”).

 

An Amendment No. 7 to the Prospectus Supplement is being filed on November 1, 2016. This Amendment No. 7 to Prospectus Supplement amends the Prospectus Supplement as previously supplemented on July 31, 2014 (“Amendment No. 2 to Prospectus Supplement”). This Amendment No. 7 to Prospectus Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Original Prospectus Supplement and the base Prospectus effective March 27, 2014 and Amendment No. 2. This Amendment No. 7 is incorporated by reference into the Original Prospectus Supplement. This Amendment No. 7 is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in connection with, the Original Prospectus Supplement, including any amendments or supplements thereto.

 

Amendment No. 7 - New Unit Option under the Unit Program

 

Under the Plan, the Company is offering a new Unit Option Program. The Unit Program will now consist of a new combination of common stock and warrants, a new time period and a new unit price, but otherwise the same Unit Program features, conditions and terms in the Prospectus Supplement and Amendment No. 2 apply. The Company’s new Unit Option Program begins November 1, 2016 and terminates January 31, 2017 (unless extended at the Company’s sole discretion). This new Unit Option Program enables participants to purchase Units of our securities where each Unit (priced at $10.00) is comprised of seven (7) shares of Common Stock and seven (7) Common Stock purchase warrants. Each warrant affords the investor or stockholder the opportunity to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a warrant exercise price of $1.00.

 

The warrant shall have the symbol “ZNWAE,” but no assurance can be provided that the warrant will be approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market.

 

All warrants will first become exercisable on March 3, 2017, which is the 31 st day following the Unit Option Termination Date (i.e., on January 31, 2017), unless extended, and continue to be exercisable through March 3, 2020 (3 years) at a per share exercise price of $1.00. If the Common Stock of the Company trades above $5.00 per share as the closing price for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days at any time prior to the expiration date of the warrant, the Company has the sole discretion to provide a Notice to warrant holders of an early termination of the warrant within sixty (60) days of the Notice. The Unit is priced at $10.00 per Unit and no change will be made to the warrant exercise price of $1.00 per share.

 

Accordingly, all references in the Original Prospectus Supplement and Amendment No. 2, concerning the Unit Option continue, except for the substitution of the new Unit Option terms above. All other Plan features, conditions and terms remain unchanged.
