Israel geopolitical environment - Looking to the second half of 2024, Energean highlights the following developments as important in relation to its principal risks. Since October 7, 2023, and the ongoing conflict in Israel, the magnitude of regional geopolitical risk remains elevated. Growing concerns of escalations in the Middle East have intensified the security risk in the region, as essential infrastructure systems (such as the Energean Power FPSO offshore Israel) may be targets for missile fire and sabotage operations. While the Karish field has continued to produce in line with guidance and with no disruption to its production since the start of the conflict, any event that impacts production from this field could have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and prospects of the Group. In the first half of 2024, Energean has ensured that all measures are in place to continue business operations, maintain the mobility of our people and make certain that the security of information is unaffected.

2.      The Income and Natural Resources Taxation Law, 5771-2011 - Israel- the main provisions of the law are as follows:

In April 2011, the Knesset passed the Income and Natural Resources Tax Law, 5771-2011 ("the Law"), which imposed an oil and gas profits levy at a rate set out below. The rate of the levy is calculated according to a proposed R factor mechanism, according to the ratio between the net accrued revenues from the project and the cumulative investments as defined in the Law. A minimum levy of 20% is levied at the stage where the R factor ratio reaches 1.5, and when the ratio increases, the levy will increase gradually until the maximum rate of 50% until the ratio reaches 2.3. In addition, it was determined that the rate of the levy as stated will be reduced starting in 2017 by multiplying 0.64 by the difference between the corporate tax rate prescribed in section 126 of the Income Tax Ordinance for each tax year and the tax rate of 18%. In accordance with the corporate tax rate from 2018 onwards, the maximum rate will be 46.8%.

In addition, additional provisions were prescribed regarding the levy, inter alia, the levy is recognised as an expense for the purpose of calculating income tax; the limits of the levy shall not include export facilities; the levy will be calculated and imposed for each reservoir separately (Ring Fencing); payment by the owner of an oil right calculated as a percentage

NOTE 6: -     Taxation (Cont.)

of the oil produced, the recipient of the payment will be liable to pay a levy according to the amount of the payment

received, and this amount will be subtracted from the amount of the levy owed by the holder of the oil right. The Law also sets rules for the unification or separation or consolidation of oil projects for the purposes of the Law. In accordance with the provisions of the Law, the Group is not yet required to pay any payment in respect of the said levy, and therefore no liability has been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this payment.
