Successor Resources Ltd. | Overview Memorandum | October 2014
Disclaimer
The purchaser is responsible for its own due diligence. Successor and Cormark make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of
this document or the information contained herein. Certain information contained herein regarding reserves, drilling inventory, historical costs, royalties and
netbacks are confidential and are for information purposes only.
This Overview Memorandum is based on information provided by Successor from its own records and from other sources. The Overview Memorandum is
being distributed, on behalf of Successor, by Cormark, the Company’s financial advisor, solely for the use of certain qualified Interested Parties. The sole
purpose of the Overview Memorandum is to assist Interested Parties in determining whether or not to proceed with further investigation of a potential
transaction with Successor. The information contained in this Overview Memorandum and in any data room coordinated by Cormark or Successor in
connection with a possible transaction (“Information”) is for informational purposes only, and does not under any circumstances constitute: (a) an offering or
solicitation for the sale of securities; (b) a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any securities; (c) an offering memorandum as contemplated by
applicable securities laws; (d) an obligation by Successor to enter into any proposed transaction; or (e) investment, legal, financial, tax, accounting or other
advice of any kind.
The Information has been prepared to assist Interested Parties in completing their own independent evaluation of Successor and its assets, but does not
purport to be all inclusive or to contain all of the information that an Interested Party may desire or that may be required by an Interested Party to properly
evaluate the business, prospects or value of Successor and its assets. Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking information,
including, without limitation, management’s plans and assessments, drilling plans, future operating costs, production estimates, royalties and other burdens
and netbacks. Forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the estimated
or anticipated events or results implied or expressed in such forward-looking information. In particular, information concerning oil and gas reserves may
involve the implied assessment that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future, based on certain estimates and assumptions. Except
as explicitly stated in the Overview Memorandum, no independent third party has reviewed the reasonableness of any such statements, estimates or
assumptions. Neither Successor nor Cormark represents or warrants that such forward-looking statements will be achieved or will prove to be correct.
Actual future results and operations could vary materially from the forward-looking statements. Similarly, no representation or warranty is made that the
assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based may be reasonable.
Each Interested Party is deemed to acknowledge that neither it nor Cormark intends that Cormark act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Interested
Party, its management, shareholders, creditors or any other person. Each Interested Party and Cormark, by accepting and providing this Overview
Memorandum respectively, is deemed to disclaim any fiduciary relationship and agree that the Interested Party is responsible for making its own
independent judgments with respect to any transaction and any other matters regarding this Overview Memorandum.
The Information should not be relied upon by any Interested Party in considering the merits of any particular transaction. The Interested Party should
consider its own financial situation, objectives and needs, and conduct its own independent investigation and assessment of the Information, including
obtaining investment, legal, tax, accounting and such other advice as it considers necessary or appropriate.
Cormark has not independently verified any of the Information contained herein. Neither Cormark nor the Company or their respective affiliates make any
representation or warranty (expressed or implied) as to the accuracy or completeness of this Overview Memorandum. Successor and Cormark expressly
disclaim any and all liability and responsibility for and associated with the quality, accuracy, completeness or materiality of the Information. Neither
Successor nor Cormark assumes any obligation to update, revise or correct the Information, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
Cormark may have interests in the securities and other products referred to herein, including being directors of, or may have or may in the future act in
various roles including as underwriter, dealer, broker, lender or financial advisor to, their issuers and may receive fees, brokerage or commission for acting
in those capacities. Cormark may act as a market maker or buy or sell those securities and other investment products as principal or agent and as such
may effect transactions which are not consistent with this information.
For the purposes of this Overview Memorandum, barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) has been calculated on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one
barrel of oil. The term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel is based on an
energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
The estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net
revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. Estimates of future net revenue do not represent fair market value.
“Current Production” refers to Successor’s estimated field production for the week ending September 27, 2014.
“Operating netbacks” are calculated by subtracting royalties, operating expenses and transportation expenses from the average price received or
forecasted to be received during the period.
Some totals in this Overview Memorandum may not add due to rounding.
