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.

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

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

to supply gas to the East Hagit Power Plant Limited Partnership ("EH
Partnership"), a partnership between the Edeltech Group and Shikun & Binui
Energy.

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.
