Nighthawk’s Management Team

7

Harold Mayland, Operations Manager Harold started his career in 1960 as a tool pusher working on production rigs. He spent 4 years with Shell Oil as Production Field Foreman. This was followed by one year with Flying Diamond as Production Superintendent. He spent three years with Baker Oil tools providing services to oil and gas companies. He later started Mountain States Oil Tools, at that time he designed and patented test and production equipment for subsurface use, which he sold out 6 years later. It is now known as Weatherford Completions service. Mr. Mayland started Osprey Oil & Gas Company, where he bought several old fields and entered into joint ventures with other companies to drill and complete producing wells. Since 1982, he has been involved in providing consulting services for well site drilling, completions, workover operations, production, and oilfield construction.

Anders Elgerd, Exploration Manager Anders has more than 32 years of experience in petroleum exploration and development in the disciplines of Geology and Geophysics. He has worked most of the major producing basins in the US as well as internationally. Since February 2012 he has headed up the exploration efforts at Nighthawk in Eastern Colorado. He graduated with high honors from the University of Florida in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology. He is a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the Denver Geophysical Society, the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists and the Denver International Petroleum Society.

David Faulder, Reservoir Engineering Manager David joined Nighthawk in August 2014 and has over 33 years’ experience as a reservoir engineer in a wide variety of geologic environments. He started his career with Chevron and was reservoir engineer for Rangely, Colorado for three years, the largest oil field in the Rocky mountains. He later worked with the Idaho National Laboratory (a USDOE facility) as Advisory Scientist, for the National Petroleum Technology Office as an analyst and for SAIC evaluating Alaska’s oil and gas production potential as project reservoir engineer and economist. Later assignments include Bill Barrett Corporation as exploration engineering advisor, and Terra-Gen Power as reservoir engineering manager. David has petroleum engineering degrees from the University of Wyoming (BS), and MS and PhD degrees from Colorado School of Mines were he is also an Adjunct Professor teaching classes in well testing, reservoir simulation, economics, and geothermal reservoir engineering. He has been a consultant since 1992 and has Professional Engineering licenses from California and Colorado.

Arikaree Creek field discovered in November 2012 with Steamboat Hansen 8-10 discovery well

13 producers, 2 shut-in wells

Current production of ~1,800 BOEPD gross (as of October 2014)

Net operating cash flow to date of ~$50 million

Capex spent to date of ~$26 million

Estimated PV-10 of future cash flows is ~$84 million

Analysis based on PDP only with no further drilling assumed

Implies potential return of ~5x on invested capital

Meeting and Exceeding Strategic Targets

Proof of Concept

Established

• Establish sustainable and material levels of production

• Build out geologic base model to support sustainable, repeatable & high IRR drilling programs

• Initial exploration drill success ~50%

• Initial 2013 target of 1,000 BOEPD exceeded June 2013

Development Mode to

Increase EBITDA and Value

• Timeline: 2014

• YE’14 exit rate target > 2,600+ BOEPD gross ; Continued development of conventional Miss- and Penn- aged targets.

• Arikaree Creek success rate >80%

• First Horizontal Well Permit filed: Additional behind pipe reserves at Arikaree Creek to be developed through horizontal drilling

Transition to Balanced

Development Potential/

NAV Expansion

• Timeline: 2015+

• Plans to increase production materially by end of 2015

• Expand resource potential through organic drilling program with material production from multiple horizons and widely dispersed wells

• Provide shareholders with considerable potential valuation expansion; current operating strategy supports both

Terminology

“AFE” – Authority for expenditure is a budgetary document, usually prepared by the operator, to list estimated expenses of drilling a well to a specified depth, casing point or geological objective, and then either completing or abandoning the well.

“Bbls” – barrels

“Behind pipe” - behind pipe opportunities, production or reserves refers to potentially producible zones that have been penetrated by a well bore but are separated from the well bore by casing (pipe) and cement and hence cannot be produced without recompleting the well in such behind pipe zones. Once completed and proved to be productive, behind pipe opportunities can increase production, cash flow and reserves.

“BOE” – Barrel of oil equivalent. A term used to summarize the amount of energy that is equivalent to the amount of energy found in a barrel of crude oil.

“BOEPD” – Barrels of oil equivalent per day

“Company” or “Nighthawk” Nighthawk Energy plc, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales under the Companies Act 1985 with registered number 4000483

“D&C” – Drilling and Completion

“EBITDA” - Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ,which generally equates to the revenues less operating costs of an entity.

“EUR” – Estimated ultimate recovery is the amount of oil and gas expected to be economically recovered from a reservoir or field by the end of its producing life.

“Group” the Company, its subsidiaries and its subsidiary undertakings

“IRR” – Internal rate of return

“MBOEPD” – Thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day

“Proved Undeveloped (PUD) reserves” are expected to be recovered from (1) new wells on undrilled acreage or (2) existing wells requiring major expenditure

“WI”- Working Interest is the percentage of ownership in an oil and gas lease granting its owner the right to explore, drill and produce oil and gas from a tract of property.
