(i) On August 3, 2011, the Compensation Committee of Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) determined that, effective August 1, 2011, Mr. Ilan Sheena’s base gross salary under the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of April 1, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”) between him and the Company is to be increased to 51,000 New Israeli Shekels per month (currently equivalent to approximately $180,000 per annum). Mr. Sheena, who serves as the Company Chief Financial Officer and resides in Israel, is compensated in New Israeli Shekels, the local Israeli currency. Appropriate adjustments will be made to the Company’s payments in respect of its contributions to the Israeli employment related benefits to which Mr. Sheena is entitled under the Employment Agreement, which are paid as a percentage of the base gross salary. Except for the increase in base gross salary, no other changes were made to the Employment Agreement with Mr. Sheena.
