B.          In order to obtain the funds necessary to consummate the March 2008 purchase of oil and gas properties from GFB Acquisition – I, L.P. and TransRepublic Resources Ltd., the Company obtained loans from J.O.E.L., a related party, in the aggregate original principal amount of $48.9 million. These loans were initially repayable at the end of 4 months and bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum. On May 25, 2008, the Company and J.O.E.L. entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “J.O.E.L. Loan Agreement”) that revised the terms of these loans and, among other things, extended the maturity date for an additional seven (7) years. Under the J.O.E.L. Loan Agreement, interest accrues at a rate equal to the LIBOR plus 6.0% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the J.O.E.L. Loan Agreement, the loans remain unsecured and there is no prepayment penalty. Initially, principal and interest were due and payable in four equal annual installments, commencing on June 30, 2012. The J.O.E.L. Loan is unsecured except to the extent of any accounts of the Company held by J.O.E.L. which were not material in amount. By Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and Note dated June 30, 2013, the J.O.E.L. Loan Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2017, and to amend the repayment schedule of the J.O.E.L. Loan Agreement, together with the underlying promissory note, to require principal and accrued interest to be paid in three (3) installments due on June 30th of each year commencing June 30, 2015. The other terms of the loan agreement and note remained unchanged. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $43.7 million remains outstanding. Haim Tsuff, Isramco’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, is a controlling shareholder of J.O.E.L. and Jackob Maimon, a former president and director of Isramco, was a director of J.O.E.L.

          C.          In July 2009, the Company entered into a loan transaction with I.O.C., a related party, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $6 million (the “Second I.O.C. Loan Agreement”). The funds provided under the Second I.O.C. Loan Agreement were used by Isramco Resources, LLC, as payment to Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent, and Capital One, N.A., as a syndication agent, under a Senior Credit Agreement in order to reduce the outstanding balance below the borrowing base and avoid the imposition of additional interest under the terms of said Senior Credit Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Second I.O.C. Loan Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The Second I.O.C. Loan matured in five years from its effective date, with accrued interest payable annually on each anniversary date of the loan. The Second I.O.C. Loan is unsecured and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. I.O.C. is fully owned by Naphtha Petroleum. Naphtha Petroleum is the sole shareholder of Naphtha Holdings, and Naphtha Petroleum controls approximately 64.89% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. As noted herein, Naphtha Petroleum may be deemed to be controlled by Haim Tsuff, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Isramco. By Amendment to Loan Agreement and Notes dated effective March 1, 2013, the Second I.O.C. Loan Agreement, together with four other I.O.C. Loan Agreements described herein and their respective underlying promissory notes, were amended to extend their maturity dates to December 31, 2018, and to provide a specific repayment schedule for accrued interest and outstanding principal. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $6.0 million remains outstanding under the Second I.O.C. Loan Agreement.

          D.          In March 2009, the Company entered into a loan transaction with I.O.C., a related party, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $11.0 million (the “Third I.O.C.

Loan Agreement was to provide funds for Isramco Resources, LLC, to pay all amounts due under a Credit Facility and then existing hedges with Wells Fargo Bank National Association and to provide funding for the Company’s other corporate purposes. Amounts outstanding under the Second I.O.C. Loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 6.0%. The Third I.O.C. Loan matures in March 2012, is unsecured and has no prepayment penalty. The Third IOC Loan agreement was renegotiated in October 2012 extending the maturity date from March 2012 to September 2012 and reducing the interest rate from LIBOR plus 6.0% to LIBOR plus 5.5%. By Amendment to Loan Agreement and Notes dated effective March 1, 2013, the Third I.O.C. Loan Agreement, together with four other I.O.C. Loan Agreements described herein and their respective underlying promissory notes, were amended to extend their maturity dates to December 31, 2018, and to provide a specific repayment schedule for accrued interest and outstanding principal. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $6,456,000 in principal amount remains outstanding.

          E.          On March 29, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with I.O.C. pursuant to which it borrowed $3,500,000 (the “Fourth I.O.C. Loan Agreement”). The Fourth I.O.C. Loan Agreement bears interest at a rate of Libor + 5.5% per annum and contained an original maturity date of March 29, 2013, when all accrued interest and principal is due and payable.

Loan Agreement bears interest of Libor + 5.5% per annum and originally matured on April 30, 2013, when all accrued interest and principal was due and payable. The loan is unsecured and may be prepaid at any time without penalty or premium. The loan was funded by IOC in three monthly installments starting April 2012.

Reimbursements related to Litigation Involving Officers, Directors and Affiliates

The Company previously disclosed information relating to two putative shareholder derivative petitions that were filed by individual shareholders of the Company in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. These petitions each named certain Company officers and directors as defendants. Each of these suits claims that the shareholders were damaged as a result of various breaches of fiduciary duty, self-dealing, and other wrongdoing in connection with the Goodrich Agreement between the Company and Goodrich and other matters, primarily on the part of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Haim Tsuff, and Jackob Maimon. Mr. Maimon is a former President and a director who resigned from all positions held with the Company in June, 2011.

On or about April 6, 2011, a third complaint was filed in the 295th District Court of Harris County, Texas by Yuval Ran, who claimed to be a shareholder, against certain of Company officers and directors and several corporate parties controlled by Haim Tsuff. As with the prior suits, this complaint alleged various breaches of duty, self dealing and other wrongdoing in connection with the Restated Agreement between the Company and Goodrich, primarily on the part of the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Haim Tsuff, and Jackob Maimon. In addition, this suit alleged claims relating to other transactions between the Company and entities controlled by Haim Tsuff, including but not limited to the loan transactions between the Company and related parties, the lease and sale of a cruise ship, and the closure of the Company’s Israel branch office. The third complaint was transferred to the 55th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas by order signed April 20, 2011, and consolidated with the above-referenced first and second original shareholder suits by order signed May 21, 2011, into a single case, called “Lead Cause No. 2010-34535; In Re: Isramco, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation; In the 55th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (the “Derivative Litigation”).

The Company also disclosed information in our quarterly report for the three months ended September 30, 2011, relating to an additional putative shareholder derivative complaint that was filed by an individual shareholder, Yuval Lapiner, on July 7, 2011, in the Delaware Chancery Court in Wilmington, Delaware, naming certain of Company officers and directors as defendants. The claims asserted in this case are essentially the same damage claims as asserted in the lawsuit filed in April 2011 and described above. The Company filed motions in the Chancery Court to Dismiss or Stay the lawsuit and, by order dated October 20, 2011, the case was dismissed. The plaintiff did not appeal. Yuval Lapiner then filed a motion to intervene in the Derivative Litigation and that motion was denied. Mr. Lapiner then filed a motion for attorney’s fees that was also denied. On December 12, 2011, the court approved the terms of the mediated settlement and entered final order and judgment in the case. The Company paid plaintiff attorney’s fees of $1,000,000, replaced its bylaws, amended various committee charters, and adopted other corporate governance changes as set out in the stipulation of settlement. After the judgment was rendered, Mr. Lapiner filed a motion for new trial and

on February 12, 2012, filed a Notice of Appeal to the Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas. A Motion to Dismiss the appeal was filed. Oral arguments were presented to the Court of Appeals on January 9, 2013. The Court of Appeals has not rendered an opinion on either the Motions to Dismiss or the appeal.

On or about September 21, 2011, the Company’s former Vice President and General Counsel, Dennis Holifield resigned. Mr. Holifield had been hired in March 2011. On or about October 12, 2011, Mr. Holifield submitted a “Summary Report” to the SEC (the “Summary Report”), in which made numerous factual allegations regarding Haim Tsuff, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and President; Edy Francis, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer; Amir Sanker, the Company’s Asset Manager; and other Company personnel. In the Summary Report, Mr. Holifield characterized the alleged conduct as illegal or criminal. On November 3, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors constituted a committee of independent directors consisting of Max Pridgeon and Asaf Yarkoni, referred to as the Special Investigative Committee of the Board of Directors (“SIC”) which was directed to investigate all of the Holifield allegations and report back to the full board and make any recommendations, if any, for corrective action. On January 7, 2013, SIC made their final report to the Board of Directors of the conclusions and results of the fourteen-month investigation into the allegations made by Mr. Holifield. The SIC determined that Mr. Holifield’s allegations were not supported by any available documentary evidence or by any statements made by former or current Isramco, Inc., directors, management, or employees interviewed by the SIC or its counsel. The SIC also determined that the Company had not engaged in wrongdoing of any sort including any unlawful or unethical business practices, any lapses in financial controls, or any governance issues that require redress or reform. On September 10, 2013, the Company filed suit against Mr. Holifield in Cause No. 201352927 of the 270th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging professional malpractice.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

INDEPENDENCE AND MEETINGS

          During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Board met or acted by unanimous written consent on four occasions. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, each Board member attended 75% or more of the aggregate of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which he served, held during the period for which he was a director or committee member, respectively.

          The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to Board members attendance at annual stockholder meetings, though it encourages directors to attend such meetings. None of the directors attended the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders.

          The Board of Directors reviewed the independence of each of the Company’s directors on the basis of the standards adopted by NASDAQ During this review, the Board considered transactions and relationships between the Company, on the one hand, and each director, members of his or her immediate family, and other entities with which he or she is affiliated, on the other hand. The purpose of this review was to determine which of such transactions or relationships were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent under the NASDAQ rules. As a result of this review, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that each of the Company’s directors, other than Haim Tsuff and Josef From are, and “independent directors” within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

          Mr. Tsuff has served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman since 1996. The Board of Directors believes that its current leadership structure, in which the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are held by Mr. Tsuff, is appropriate at this time and provides the most efficient and effective leadership for Isramco. Combining the chairman and chief executive officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making and alignment on corporate strategy. We believe that any risks inherent in that structure are balanced by the oversight of our Board of Directors, a majority of who are independent. Given Mr. Tsuff’s past performance in the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, at this time the Board believes that combining the positions continues to be the appropriate leadership structure for our Company and does not impair our ability to continue to practice good corporate governance. The Board does have a lead independent director, Max Pridgeon. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Tsuff’s significant holdings in the Company is sufficient motivation to minimize excessive risk taking and aligns his interest in the best interest of the stockholders. The structure of Board also serves as oversight to all activities of the company. The Conflict Committee was specifically created to review all related company transactions. The Audit Committee reviews all claims and litigation each quarter as part of their quarterly review of financials.

          Our Board recognizes that no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times and that, depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as a separate independent chairperson of the board, might be appropriate and the Board reviews company and board structure annually.

GOVERNANCE, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD COMMITTEE CHANGES

          The Board of Directors has established five standing committees: the Audit Committee; the Compensation Committee; the Conflict Committee; the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and the Independent Directors Committee.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

          The Board of Directors established guidelines requiring a majority of directors to be independent, as determined in accordance with the bylaws of the Company and applicable rules of the NASDAQ exchange. Under such standards, four of the six directors have been determined to be independent directors. Directors have also certified their belief that they meet such independence standards and that they will annually attend at least one Board meeting in person unless specifically excused by the Chairman of the Board. Directors may only serve on a maximum of two other boards subject to SEC reporting. Directors have participated in an initial orientation and continuing education thereafter.

THE LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

          In 2012 the Board of Directors first elected a “Lead Independent Director” as such term is defined in the Company’s bylaws and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter. In 2012, Max Pridgeon was elected to this position. The Lead Independent Director chairs the executive sessions of the Board and is the principle liaison between the independent directors and Chief Executive Officer. The Lead Independent Director also is responsible for or required to participate in timing and agenda for Board and Committee meetings, requesting for and providing information to the independent directors, receive reports from the Nominating and Governance Committee and evaluation, along with the Compensation Committee and the Board the performance of the Chief Executive Officer. The Lead Independent Director also serves as Chair of the newly formed Independent Director Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

          The members of the Audit Committee are Max Pridgeon, Frans Sluiter and Asaf Yarkoni. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Pridgeon, Mr. Sluiter and Mr. Yarkoni met the independence criteria set out in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Board determined that Mr. Yarkoni, the committee “financial expert” as defined by the rules of would qualify as an independent director and an audit committee financial expert if elected. The Audit Committee met five times in 2012.

THE NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

          The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Max Pridgeon, Asaf Yarkoni and Haim Tsuff. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met twice in 2012.

          The Nominating Committee considers many factors when evaluating candidates for the nomination to the Board of Directors, with the goal of fostering a Board of Directors comprised of directors with a variety of experience and backgrounds. Important factors considered as part of the Nominating Committee’s evaluation include (without limitation) (i) roles and contributions valuable to the business community, (ii) personal qualities of leadership, character and judgment, and whether the candidate possesses and maintains throughout service on the Board a reputation in the community at large of integrity, trust, respect, competence and adherence to high ethical standards, (iii) relevant knowledge and diversity of Board members’ background and experience (iv) whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at meetings, and (v) requirements relating to Board and Board committee composition under applicable law and NASDAQ listing standards. Depending upon the Company’s then-current needs, certain factors may be weighed more or less heavily. In considering candidates for the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee will consider the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met. However, the Nominating Committee does believe that all members of the Board of Directors should have the highest character and integrity and sufficient time to devote to Company matters.

          In addition to considering candidates proposed by officers or other directors of the Company as candidates for nomination as a director, the Nominating Committee considers persons recommended by Stockholders. In evaluating candidates proposed by Stockholders the Nominating Committee uses the same selection criteria as it uses to evaluate other potential nominees.

Each recommendation should include a personal biography of the suggested candidate, an indication of the background or experience that qualifies such person for consideration, and a statement that such person has agreed to serve if nominated and elected. Stockholders who wish to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors themselves, rather than recommending a candidate to the Nominating Committee for potential nomination by the Board of Directors, must comply with applicable law.

          While the Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Board and the Committee believe that it is essential that Board members represent diverse business backgrounds and experience. A background in or experience with the oil & gas industry is desirable, but not a precondition to nomination. In considering candidates for the Board, the Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials in the context of these standards. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should and do provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow the Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

          In addition the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the advisability of a director’s continued service on the Board when the director’s principal occupation or business association changes, or when circumstances arise which may raise questions about the director’s continuing qualifications in relation to the Board membership criteria referred to above. In addition, the Committee will:

          Review the resignation of any director.

          Review the Board’s committee structure and recommend to the Board the appointment of committee members and chairs.

          Define and articulate the Corporation’s overall corporate governance structures, including the development and recommendation to the Board of Directors of the Isramco Corporate Governance Guidelines.

          Review Guidelines periodically, recommending changes as necessary to reflect sound governance practices.

          Review the Corporation’s position and practices on significant issues of corporate public responsibility such as protection of the environment, and philanthropic contributions.

CONFLICT COMMITTEE

          The Conflict Committee consists of Asaf Yarkoni and Frans Sluiter, two independent directors. Although the Conflict Committee does not have a written charter, before any transaction between the Company and any officer or director or between the Company and any entity controlled by an officer or director, it must be submitted for approval by the Conflict Committee. The Conflict Committee, except as may be otherwise specified by the Board of Directors by unanimous written consent, all the power and authority of the Board of Directors in connection with approving and authorizing proposed transactions between the Company and any officer or director or entity controlled by any officer or director. In that role the Conflict Committee has reviewed and approved sales of affiliated company stock all affiliated company financing. The Conflict Committee met or acted by unanimous consent four times in 2012.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

          The Compensation Committee consists of Max Pridgeon, Itai Ram and Joseph From and is responsible for reviewing the compensation arrangements in effect for the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee met twice in 2012.

          The Compensation Committee sets compensation policy and administers the Company’s compensation programs for the purpose of attracting and retaining skilled executives who will promote the Company’s business goals and build stockholder value. The Committee is also responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the Company’s named executive officers, including stock compensation and bonuses.

          The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board for approval compensation arrangements for our executive officers, key employees and non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee recommends all incentive compensation awards, which are then subject to board review and approval. The Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Compensation Committee the goals, objectives and compensation for all executive officers and key employees, except himself,

and responds to requests for information from the Compensation Committee. Our Chief Executive Officer has no role in approving his own compensation. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews and recommends the compensation of non-executive directors. The Compensation Committee does not delegate its authority and has the sole responsibility of retaining outside counsel or other consultants for the purpose of executing its mandate.

THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR COMMITEE

          The current members of the Independent Directors Committee are Max Pridgeon, Asaf Yarkoni, Frans Sluiter and Itai Ram. The Independent Director Committee met four times in 2012. The purpose of the Independent Director Committee is to serve as a disinterested body of the Board exercising oversight and independent judgment to recommend to the Board those measures the Committee reasonably believes to be in the long-term best interests of the Company with a view to protect the interests of both the Company and its shareholders with due regard to the interests of the minority shareholders of the Company. The Committee approved a written charter, which has been submitted to the full Board for approval.

TRADING COMPLIANCE CONTROL COMMITTEE

          The Board of Directors has a committee consisting of Edy F. Francis and Anthony James, both non-directors, as responsible for ensuring compliance with the Company’s stock trading and market communication policy. This is not a committee of the board but a monitoring and reporting function to the Board.

CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT

          The Company has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of its employees. A copy of the Code of Conduct was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. If the Company makes any substantive amendment to the Code of Conduct or grants any waiver from a provision of the Code of Conduct to any executive officer or director, the Company will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

          Although the Company does not have formal procedures for Stockholder communication with the Board of Directors, Stockholders of the Company are encouraged to communicate directly with the members of the Board. Persons interested in communicating their concerns or issues to the independent directors may address correspondence to a particular director, or to the independent directors generally in care of the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Haim Tsuff. If no particular director is named, letters will be forwarded, depending on the subject matter, to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Company personnel will not screen or edit such communications and will forward them directly to the intended member of the Board.

BOARD’S ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

          Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has the ultimate responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Senior officers attend meetings of the Board of Directors, provide presentations on operations, and are available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board of Directors, its committees, or any individual director. Additionally, our Board committees are charged with assisting the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The Audit Committee coordinates the Board of Directors’ oversight of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of conduct. Management regularly reports to the Audit Committee on these areas.
