NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF UNITED STATES SECURITIES LAW. Silk Road Energy Inc. (the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:SLK.P) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated August 29, 2012 (the "LOI") to acquire (the "Acquisition") certain oil and gas assets located in the Long Coulee and Parkland regions of southern Alberta (the "Assets") from Verity Energy Ltd. ("Verity"). The Corporation intends for the Acquisition to constitute its Qualifying Transaction as a Tier 1 Oil & Gas Issuer, as set out in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the Exchange"). The Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including Exchange approval. Summary of the Qualifying Transaction The LOI contemplates that the Corporation and Verity will enter into a formal purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta, pursuant to which the Corporation would acquire the Assets from Verity for a purchase price of C$1,000,000, subject to certain adjustments detailed therein, to be satisfied by the issuance to Verity of 5,000,000 common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares") at a deemed issue price of C$0.20 per Common Share (the "Share Consideration"). The parties contemplate the Purchase Agreement will have customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type. Each of the Corporation and Verity shall pay their own costs in respect of the Acquisition. At the request of the Corporation, trading in the Common Shares has been halted by the Exchange. Trading is expected to remain halted until, at the latest, filing of a filing statement in connection with the Acquisition. Trading may also resume upon granting of an exemption from sponsorship by the Exchange. Verity is a privately held Alberta corporation engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties in the western Canadian sedimentary basin. Verity currently has production from three properties in Alberta and one property in British Columbia. Other than David Hall, of Calgary, Alberta, who has control of, manages or directs in excess of 20% of the shares of Verity, there are no "control persons" (as defined pursuant to Exchange policies) of Verity. A summary of significant financial and technical information in respect of the Assets will be provided in a subsequent news release. The Assets The Assets currently produce approximately 1,000 mcf/d of gas and approximately 5 bbls/d of oil and liquids. The Assets are located in the Long Coulee/Parkland area of Alberta and production is predominantly from the Belly River, Medicine Hat, Bow Island and Mannville formations. Closing of the Qualifying Transaction It is contemplated that closing of the Acquisition shall be subject to a number of terms and conditions, including: a. entry into of the Purchase Agreement and satisfaction or compliance with the terms and conditions of such Purchase Agreement; b. satisfactory completion, acting reasonably, by the Corporation and Verity of their respective due diligence examinations; c. the receipt of any necessary contractual and other third party consents; d. the receipt of all necessary regulatory consents and approvals required pursuant to applicable law (including consent of the Exchange and all applicable securities commissions); e. if necessary, shareholder approval by the shareholders of the Corporation and/or Verity; f. the Share Consideration shall represent not more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding securities of the Corporation; g. the Share Consideration shall be approved for listing on the Exchange or such other stock exchange as is approved by Verity; h. Mr. John Zang, an insider of Verity, shall be appointed to the board of directors of the Corporation on closing; i. the parties shall have agreed to a voting and escrow agreement whereby Verity agrees to vote the Share Consideration owned by it in favor of any reasonable transaction approved and recommended by the board of directors of the Corporation, provided that transaction does not result in an immediate depreciation in the value of the Share Consideration or results in the Share Consideration being not liquid and whereby Verity agrees not to sell the Share Consideration through the open market for a period of the greater of 90 days and any hold period required in accordance with securities laws (but in any event not to exceed four months); and j. closing of the Acquisition no later than the earlier of (i) three business days following the receipt of all necessary conditional approvals from the Exchange and (ii) December 15, 2012. The LOI has been filed by the corporation by way of SEDAR concurrently with the issue of this press release. The acquisition does not constitute a Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) and does not require approval from the securityholders of the Corporation. Sponsorship Sponsorship of a Qualifying Transaction is required by the Exchange unless exempt therefrom in accordance with the Exchange's policies. The Corporation intends to apply for an exemption from the sponsorship requirements pursuant to the policies of the Exchange. There is no assurance that such an exemption will be granted. If the exemption is not granted by the Exchange, then Corporation would be required to engage a sponsor.
