Petro-Victory Energy has entered into a binding Purchase and Sale agreement with EnP Ecossistemas Energéticos Holdings S.A ('EnP') for the sale of non-operated assets held by the Company for a consideration of US$3,326,644.

The sale is comprised of:

• A 50% non-operated working interest in 5 onshore exploration concessions, as previously announced on October 26, 2018, in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Included in the 5 exploration concessions is Block ES-T-487, where the company and its operating partner, IMETAME Energia Ltda., successfully drilled the 1-VID-ES (Vida) exploration well, as announced on April 7, 2020;
• Option to purchase a 50% operating interest in three onshore oil fields (Lagoa Parda, Lagoa Parda Norte and Lagoa Piabanha) in the Espírito Santo Basin, as previously announced on November 25, 2019, for the same proportional amount paid to Petrobras. The consideration is the refund of 7.5% deposit paid, in the amount of US $702,933 and the assumption of all existing debts and liabilities associated with the working interests being sold in the Brazilian exploration concessions and oilfields.
• A 10% down payment (US$332,664) has been received from EnP and the payment of the remaining 90% (US$2,993,980) is contingent upon approval of Agencia Nacional do Petroleo Gas Natural e Biocombustiveis of Brazil ('ANP') which is expected in December 2020.

The net proceeds of the transaction will be used for the payment of previously announced acquisition costs, Capex to fund work programs, and general working capital purposes.

Richard F. Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer of Petro-Victory commented, 
"This sale allows us to reposition Petro-Victory's production portfolio during the global pandemic, by providing the capital required to increase our working interests and oil production in our core portfolio of high margin producing assets."
