2)  Restricted cash:

As of 31 March 2022 the restricted cash of the Company includes:

o  Long term restricted cash of US$100 million Debt Payment Fund that would be released upon achieving three quarters annualized production of 3.8 BCM/year.

o  Short term restricted cash of US$35.6 million to cover the Interest Reserve Account for the accrued interest of the senior Secured Notes till 30 June 2022.

   3)  Credit rating:

Moody's assigns Ba3 rating the senior secured notes, and S&P Global assigns BB- rating the senior secured notes.

D.  Fair value measurements:

The information set out below provides information about how the Group determines the fair values of various financial assets and liabilities.

The fair values of the Group's non-current liabilities measured at amortised cost are considered to approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date.

The carrying value less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term-nature.

The fair value hierarchy of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosure is required) is as follows:

(1)  The change in Trade payables and accrued expenses represents mainly timing differences and levels of work activity in Karish project. Trade payables are non-interest bearing.

(2)  In December 2016, the Company acquired the Karish and Tanin offshore gas fields for US$40 million closing payment with an obligation to pay additional consideration of US$108.5 million plus interest inflated at an annual rate of 4.6% in ten equal annual payments. As at 31 March 2022 the total discounted deferred consideration was approx. US$58 million (as at 31 December 2021: approx. US$57million).

The Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") includes provisions in the event of Force Majeure that prevents or delays the implementation of the development plan as approved under one lease for a period of more than ninety (90) days in any year following the final investment decision ("FID") date. In the event of Force Majeure, the applicable annual payment of the remaining consideration will be postponed by an equivalent period of time, and no interest will be accrued in that period of time as well.

  Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which constitute a Force Majeure event, the deferred payment due in March 2022 was postponed.

(3)  The sales consideration received in advance is related to the agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines ("INGL") for the transfer of title (the "hand over") of the near shore and onshore part of the infrastructure that will deliver gas from the Energean Power FPSO into the Israeli national gas transmission grid. It is intended that the hand over to INGL will become effective at least 90 days after the delivery of first gas from the Karish field which expected in Q3-2022. Following Hand Over, INGL will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of this part of the infrastructure.

As of 31 March 2022, the sales consideration received in advance presented as short term liability (on 31 December 2021 was presented under long term payables).

(4)  In March 2022 the company signed the amendment to EPCIC contract to delay part of the payments according to agreed schedule.

B.  Offshore Israel during March 2022:

On 8 April 2022 the Company reduced its share premium capital at the amount of 360 million USD and credited against it the loan to its shareholder at the amount of $US346 million and the accrued interest to receive as of 8 April 2022.

B.  Termination of contract with Gas Buyer

In May 2022, further to the claims raised by the parties in the related arbitration proceedings (including the counterclaim filed by Energean seeking a declaration that Energean is entitled to terminate the GSPA as well as damages), Dalia and the Company agreed to end all claims and disputes between them. Both sides agreed that the Dalia GSPA (which represents up to 0.8 billion cubic meter ("bcm") per year was lawfully terminated, that the arbitration proceedings are terminated, and that neither party owes or will be liable to the other for any payment in connection with and due to the Dalia GSPA, the arbitration proceedings and the facts subject thereof. This was agreed to be final and unappealable.

In May 2022 Company has signed a new GSPA, representing up to 0.8 bcm/year , to supply gas to the East Hagit Power Plant Limited Partnership ("EH Partnership"), a partnership between the Edeltech Group and Shikun & Binui Energy.

The GSPA is for a term of approximately 15 years, for a total contract quantity of up to 12 bcm. The contract contains provisions regarding floor pricing, offtake exclusivity and a price indexation mechanism.

D.  Athena Gas Discovery

Commercial discovery made by the Athena exploration well, Block 12, in the A, B and C sands. Preliminary analysis indicates that the Athena discovery contains recoverable gas volumes of 8 bcm on a standalone basis.

This discovery is particularly significant as it de-risks an additional 50 bcm of mean unrisked prospective resources across Energean's Olympus Area (total 58 bcm including Athena). The Olympus Area is Energean's newly defined area which includes Athena, plus the undrilled prospects on Block 12 and the adjacent Tanin Lease.
