Corporate Update

Not for Distribution to U.S. Newswire Services or for Dissemination in the United States

Ithaca Energy Inc. (IAECN: ISINs US465676AA22 / USC48677AA34) (“Ithaca” or the “Company”) provides an update on various corporate activities and the schedule for publication of the 2017 financial results.

Following completion of the takeover by Delek Group Limited (“Delek”) in June 2017 and the subsequent delisting of the Company’s shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, the Company has taken various steps as a result of becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek.

Canadian Reporting Issuer Update

As previously announced, following delisting of the shares on the TSX the Company applied to the Canadian securities regulatory authorities to cease being a reporting issuer in all applicable jurisdictions. The request has been granted and the Company is now no longer a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction in Canada. As a result, Ithaca will no longer be required to file financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Company will however continue to make disclosures as required under its $300 million senior unsecured notes.

Board of Directors

With Ithaca now established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek, the Company has elected to reduce the size of the Board of Directors to more appropriately reflect the requirements of the business. Mr Jay Zammit, Mr Alec Carstairs and Mr Yossi Abu have retired as Non-Executive Directors of the Company. The remaining directors of Ithaca are unchanged, with Mr Brad Hurtubise continuing as Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Asi Bartfeld as a Non-Executive Director and Mr Les Thomas as a Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Continuance

As part of the simplification of the corporate structure, the Company intends to seek regulatory approval to continue Ithaca Energy Inc. from Canada into Jersey and align the incorporation of the Company with that of its sole shareholder DKL Investments Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek).

2017 Financial Results

The Company intends to publish its full year 2017 financial results on 28 March 2018. A conference call and webcast for bond investors will be held on the same day at 12.00 GMT (07.00 EST), with a playback facility being made available on the Company’s website later that day. Dial-in details for the call will be included in the press release that accompanies the financial results documentation.
