The purpose of the LOI is to reflect the desire of both parties to effect a reverse takeover, pursuant to which Big Rock plans to issue one consolidated Big Rock share for each of the 38 million issued and outstanding common shares of Oil & Gas through a share exchange, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or such other comparable form as determined by Big Rock and Oil & Gas following a review of all relevant tax, corporate and securities law considerations, and a due diligence review. Pursuant to the transaction and subject to adjustment prior to the execution of a definitive agreement, each outstanding Oil & Gas common share shall be exchanged into one common share of the resulting issuer, and every two outstanding Big Rock common shares shall be exchanged into one common share of the resulting issuer for a total of 10,115,000 consolidated Big Rock shares.

The proposed transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to: (1) review and approval of the transaction by the boards of directors of Big Rock and Oil & Gas, and any requisite shareholder approval, and (2) review and approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and all other regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the subject transaction. The parties anticipate entering into a definitive agreement setting out in more detail the proposed terms of the transaction by May 29, 2017. More details will follow in the company's information circular and the resulting issuer's listing statement that will comply with the listing requirements of the CSE policies for energy resource companies. The transaction would be characterized as a fundamental change in the company (CSE Policy 8) with a change of management and control.

Oil & Gas intends to complete an equity financing of up to $250,000 so that the resulting issuer has sufficient working capital to meet the Canadian Securities Exchange's listing requirements for an energy resource company; and every Oil & Gas share issued pursuant to the pre-RTO financing will be exchanged for one consolidated Big Rock share at the closing of the RTO. It is agreed that any increase of the pre-RTO financing in excess of $250,000 is subject to the prior written approval of Big Rock. The current Big Rock Labs shareholders would own a total of 21.02 per cent of the resulting issuer before the pre-RTO financing and 19.04 per cent of the resulting issuer after the pre-RTO financing.

The board of directors of the resulting issuer shall comprise up to five directors, of which two individuals shall be the nominees of Big Rock and threeindividuals shall be the nominees of Oil & Gas. Big Rock shall amend its incorporation documents and articles authorizing the resulting issuer to have a board of directors of up to seven members. Any additional members over the initial five members shall be invited to the board only if they provide material benefit to the resulting issuer's future, as agreed by the board.

Additional information with respect to the transaction will be provided in subsequent press releases.
