EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Norse Energy Corporation (Norseor the Company) is offering the Properties described in this brochure for sale or joint venture. This will be a negotiated deal. It is anticipated that negotiations will be concluded by September 30, 2012. The Properties are subject to prior sale. No offers will be considered that are subject to further reservoir engineering (future production volume or operating cost forecasts), and no offers will be considered that are contingent on financing. Norse reserves the right to reject any and all offers. The effective date of the sale will be coincident with closing. Norse is offering the interests, collectively or separately, in the following Properties in New York: Marcellus and Utica Shale acreage (Dry Gas) in Broome, Chenango and Madison Counties. Norse controls approximately 97,500 net acres prospective for the Marcellus and Utica Shales. The properties will be offered with an 81.25% net revenue interest. Horizons All Deep (incl.

The properties will be offered with an 81.25% net revenue interest. Horizons All Gross Acreage 33,000 Working Interest Available 100 % Net Acreage 33,000
Pipeline Right-of-Way (ROW). Norse has acquired approximately 150 miles of pipeline ROW in addition to the rights granted under its leases. Seismic data. Norse is selling 500 miles of proprietary 2-D seismic and 70 square miles of proprietary 3-D seismic of which 56 square miles were shot in 2010.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT While currently there is a moratorium on operations involving high volume hydraulic fracturing in the State of New York, recent developments suggest that the regulations needed to allow for those operations are approaching completion. Since September 7, 2011, when the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued the draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) there has been positive feedback from Governor Cuomos office. A June 13, 2012 New York Times article referenced sources close to NY Governor Cuomo's office expecting issuance this summer of the SGEIS for the permitting of high volume hydraulic fracturing of Marcellus and Utica shales. The Times' story indicated that certain areas of the state would initially be unavailable for development. Fortunately for Norse, Counties projected to be available for initial development include those where Norse holds the majority of its acreage position. Norse believes that the final SGEIS will be issued in the second half of 2012.

TRANSACTION PROCESS This will be a negotiated sale. The Properties are subject to prior sale. An offer may be made at any time, but no offers will be considered that are contingent on financing. A draft Purchase and Sale Agreement will be available in the Data Room. Norse reserves the right to reject any and all offers. Negotiations are expected to conclude by September 30, 2012. Offers may be made for all of the acreage or for any part of the acreage position. In view of New Yorks evolving stance on high volume hydraulic fracturing, the Company is willing to structure the sale of the leases as an option with a strike price to be paid later (upon issuance of the SGEIS or upon resumption of permitting) to minimize the upfront cost to the buyer.
Early offers, or expressions of interest leading to early negotiations, are welcome on any of the assets. Norse will give preference to offers leading to a quick closing. A Data Room will be held in Albrecht & Associates offices at Pennzoil Place, South Tower, 711 Louisiana, Suite 1600, Houston, Texas, 77002. Parties interested in further information or wishing to visit the Data Room should contact: Harrison Williams Executive Vice President (713) 951-9586 hwilliams@albrechtai.com ONLINE DATA All of the information provided in the Data Room is available in advance from the Virtual Data Room (VDR).
