The closing date for the purchase agreement is December 21, 2018. Financing of the purchase is expected to come from equity. Specifics of the financing will be announced soon.

In addition to this acquisition, Prospera has also entered into two Option Agreements whereby the Corporation has the right to purchase a further 20% interest in these properties making it a total of 55% of the original acquisition once the options are exercised. The details surrounding these transactions will be released upon exercise.

Production volumes are commonly expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis whereby natural gas volumes are converted at a ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The intention is to convert oil and natural gas measurement units into one basis for improved analysis of results and comparisons with other industry participants. The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalent method and does not represent an economic value equivalency at the wellhead.

Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted, as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Prospera Inc. As a result, Prospera cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize, and the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information. Such information, although considered reasonable by management at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated.
