Holders of record of Zion's common stock, as of the close of business on May 4, 2009, were given non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to 4.2 million shares of common stock at a subscription price of $5.00 per share.
The total available subscription of 4.2 million shares, for gross proceeds of $21.0 million, will be accepted (including almost all of the over-subscription) and refunds for any unfilled over-subscriptions will be refunded as soon as possible.
Zion's Chief Executive Officer, Richard Rinberg, said today, "I am pleased to announce the successful conclusion of our rights offering. The $21.0 Million proceeds will provide us with financial and operating flexibility and will enable us to significantly further our exploration and drilling program."
Zion is currently drilling its Ma'anit-Rehoboth #2 well to the Triassic Formation (down to a depth of 15,400 feet) and then, it is planned, to the Permian Formation (down to a depth below 18,000 feet). Today, the drilling has reached a depth of approximately 15,750 feet.
