Summary of the Transactions

(“US Co“) and the shareholders of SRG (the “SRG Agreement“), Seahawk will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of SRG in consideration of the issuance of 5,000,0000 common shares in the capital of Seahawk (“Seahawk Shares“), representing one Seahawk Share for each common share in the capital of SRG held, each at a deemed value of $0.35 per Seahawk Share. SRG holds all of the issued and outstanding securities of US Co, following a re-organization completed by Redline.
