About Silk Energy AS

Silk is a private Norwegian company, established specifically to secure undervalued and distressed oil assets in Kazakhstan. It recently agreed terms to participate in 50% of the Ustyurt license comprising 6,451 sq km in the Caspian Sea region, which includes an obligation to pay US$5 million to KazMunaiGas to bring the licence up to date and a US$10 million work program incorporating the drilling of two wells in 2019. Ustyurt is less than 100 kms from the super giant Tengiz and Kashagan fields with a combined 22 billion barrels of recoverable reserves and it's in the fairway of other giant fields.

In excess of $80 million has been spent by the previous owners and the state oil company on the acquisition and interpretation of a comprehensive set of 2D seismic. Despite all of the data, only one well has been drilled in the whole contract territory in the last 30 years. It is incredibly under-explored and management has multiple targets to exploit.

Inspiration also announces that it has negotiated debt conversion agreements (the Debt Agreements") with six (6) arm's length parties and three (3) non-arm's length parties.

Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Agreements, Inspiration issued an aggregate of 35,000,000 common shares (the "Debt Shares") to the creditors in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of $1,750,000 in dent owing to the creditors. The Debt Shares were issued at a deemed price of $0.05 per common share.

Of the 35,000,000 Debt Shares, an aggregate of 12,000,000 common shares were issued to non-arm's length parties or which 6,000,000 Debt Shares were issued to a director of the Corporation and an aggregate of 6,000,000 common shares were issued to a director and officer of the Corporation and a private corporation controlled by the officer and director.

The issuance of the 12,000,000 Debt Shares constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101").  Pursuant to MI 61-101, the issuance of the 12,000,000 Debt Shares to the related parties is exempted from the valuation and shareholder approval requirements as the fair market value of the shares issued to the related parties is not more that 25% if Inspiration's market capitalization.
