purchase price shall be $3,480,000. If closing occurs after

up to and including May 31, 2025, and then to 22% after May 31,

About Prospera
Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF,
FRA: OF6B) is a publicly traded energy company based in Western
Canada, specializing in the exploration, development, and
production of crude oil and natural gas. Prospera is primarily
focused on optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from legacy fields
through environmentally safe and efficient reservoir development
methods and production practices. Prospera was restructured in the
first quarter of 2021 to become profitable and in compliance to
regulation, environment, landowners, and service providers.
The company is in the midst of a three-stage
restructuring process aimed at prioritizing cost effective
operations while appreciating production capacity and reducing
liabilities. Prospera has completed the first phase by optimizing
low hanging opportunities, attaining free cash flow, while bringing
operation to safe operating condition, all while remaining
compliant. Currently, Prospera is executing phase II of the
restructuring process, the horizontal transformation intended to
accelerate growth and capture the significant remaining reserves
(400 million bbls). These horizontal laterals allow PEI to reduce
its environmental and surface footprint by eliminating the numerous
vertical well leases along the lateral path. Phase III of
Prospera’s corporate redevelopment strategy is to optimize recovery
through EOR applications. Further, Prospera will pursue its
acquisition strategy to diversify its product mix. Its goal is to
attain 50% light oil, 40% heavy oil and 10% gas.
PEI continues to apply efforts to minimize its
environmental footprint. Also, efforts to reduce and eventually
eliminate emissions, alongside pursuing innovative ESG methods to
enhance API quality, thereby achieving higher margins and
eliminating the need for diluents.
