Gas Sales Agreements to supply an additional 0.4 Bcm/yr of gas in Israel

London, 17 December 2020 - Energean plc (LSE: ENOG, TASE:  א ) is pleased to announce that Energean Israel Limited (Energean 70%) has entered into a new set of agreements and amendments to existing agreements with Rapac Energy Limited and its related companies to supply an additional amount averaging 0.4 Bcm/yr of gas for terms of between 6 and 15 years commencing from first gas from the Karish gas development project. The agreements include take-or-pay, exclusivity and floor pricing provisions.

Energean Israel Limited now has gas sales agreements in place to supply approximately 7.4 Bcm/yr of gas on plateau. All contracts contain provisions for take-or-pay and / or exclusivity, and floor pricing, ensuring that Energean's revenue stream in Israel is secured, predictable and largely insulated from global commodity price fluctuations, supporting Energean's target to begin paying a dividend following first gas from the 8 Bcm/yr Karish project, which is currently expected in Q4 2021.
