Following receipt of the approval, Delek Drilling reported that all the preconditions for the deal have been met and the deal will be completed as per the agreement.

In September, Mubadala signed an agreement to buy the 22% stake in the Tamar gas field for $1 billion. Mubadala will buy the shares through two separate companies set up especially for the deal.
Last week Tamar Petroleum (TASE: TMRP), which has a 16.75% stake in the Tamar gas field, reported that Mubadala had given Israeli businessman Aaron Frenkel an option to buy an 11% stake in the Tamar gas field for $500 million, to be exercised within six months of the closing of the deal between Delek Drilling and Mubadala.
Frenkel had bid in the tender managed by Delek Drilling to sell its full rights (22%) in the Tamar and Dalit fields. But Frenkel’s bid was much lower than that of Mubadala’s bid.
