New Unit Offering Launched
Zion Oil commenced a unit offering under its DSPP, selling $250 units consisting of common stock (priced at the average high/low on purchase date) and 75 warrants with a $0.75 exercise price. The offering runs from August 12 to September 10, 2026.

Proceeds Earmarked for Drilling
The company plans to use proceeds for stimulation and completion of the MJ-02ST well in Israel: $1M for the stimulation/completion string and $2M for equipment, services, and personnel.

Warrant Terms and Dilution Risk
Each unit includes 75 warrants (ZNWBD) exercisable at $0.75 from October 12, 2026 to April 12, 2027. The warrants are not registered for trading. If exercised, they would add significant dilution at a strike price well above the current $0.10 stock price.
-
Financial Distress Context
The offering follows a 10-Q filed yesterday reporting a $4.1M Q2 net loss and a going concern warning. The company is dependent on continuous equity raises to fund operations and drilling.
Analysis · ZNOGW · Energy & Transportation
Days after flagging a going concern warning and a $4.1M quarterly loss, Zion Oil & Gas is turning to its existing direct stock purchase plan to raise capital through a new unit offering. Each $250 unit buys shares at the market price on the purchase date plus 75 warrants with a $0.75 strike. The proceeds are earmarked to complete the Megiddo-Jezreel #2 well in Israel — a high-risk, high-reward exploration bet. The offering is dilutive, especially if warrants are exercised, but the alternative is running out of cash. The deep discount warrants and the urgent use of proceeds signal financial stress, yet they also outline a path to potential value if the well succeeds.
At the time of this filing, ZNOGW was trading at $0.10 on OTC in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $471.1M.
