On March 10, 2015, Breitling Energy Corporation (the "Company"), completed an acquisition of certain non-operated working interests (collectively the “Assets”) located in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma in the Hunton play pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. and Torchlight Energy, Inc.

The Purchase and Sale Agreement also provides for the purchase of additional interests in a future transaction upon satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

A closing was completed on March 10, 2015 whereby the Company purchased the Assets for $245,000.
