Horizon Petroleum Ltd. (the “Company” or “Horizon”) (TSXV: HPL) is pleased to report that the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) regarding the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of a 100% interest in up to 5 conventional oil & gas concessions, onshore Europe (the “Concessions”). Horizon is currently completing its due diligence on the Concessions, and will provide an update in due course.

Under the terms of the MOU, Horizon has been granted exclusivity until July 25, 2017, to permit for the completion and execution of definitive agreements (the “Transaction Documents”), covering the Concessions. In return for the exclusivity, Horizon has advanced US$200,000 (the “Option Payment”) to the counterparty to cover certain obligations relating to the Concessions going forward, where such obligations would be assumed by Horizon upon the completion of the Transaction; US$100,000 of the Option Payment is non-refundable if the Transaction is not completed due to any action or inaction on the part of Horizon.

This potential transaction represents a further step by Horizon in executing its strategy to acquire and develop existing, conventional oil & gas discoveries in Europe. Further information will be provided as the transaction progresses.
