D. Risk Factors
The following risks relate specifically to the Company’s business and should be considered carefully. The occurrence of any one or more of the events outlined under this section could have severe consequences on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and could result in the cessation of operations or bankruptcy.
We have a history of losses and may not achieve consistent profitability in the future.
We have incurred losses in prior years. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue levels in future periods in order to become consistently profitable, and even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. We may incur losses in the future for a number of reasons, including risks described herein, unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown risks.
Our exploration, development and production activities may not be profitable or achieve our expected returns.
The future performance of our business will depend upon our ability to develop oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Success will depend upon our ability to develop prospects from which oil and natural gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities. Without successful exploration activities, we will not be able to develop oil and natural gas reserves or generate revenues. There are no assurances that oil and natural gas reserves will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploration and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful development of oil and natural gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and natural gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurance can be given that our exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of reserves. Operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and/or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploration and development may materially exceed our internal estimates.
We may be unable to meet our earn in commitments which requires additional fund raising
In particular, the Company’s principal current asset is its right to earn a 29% working interest in the M47 Oil Block in the Cudi-Gabar petroleum province of southeastern Türkiye, which is contingent upon the Company funding approximately $15.0 million in aggregate work program commitments for 2026 and 2027. The Company does not currently have the funds to meet these commitments and will need to raise significant capital through equity financing or other means. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company fails to meet its funding commitments, it may lose its right to earn the working interest in the M47 Oil Block, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, and financial condition.
We may be unable to acquire or develop additional reserves, which would reduce our cash flow and income.
In general, production from oil and natural gas properties declines over time as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. If we are not successful in our exploration and development activities targeted on discovering reserves, or in acquiring properties containing reserves, our reserves will generally decline as reserves are produced. Our oil and natural gas production will be highly dependent upon our ability to economically find, develop or acquire reserves in commercial quantities.
| 3 |
Our future oil and natural gas reserves, production, and cash flows, are highly dependent upon us successfully exploiting known gas resources and proved reserves. A future increase in our reserves will depend not only on our ability to flow economic rates of natural gas and potentially develop the reserves we may have from time to time, but also on our ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects and technologies for exploitation. There are no absolute guarantees that our future efforts will result in the economic development of natural gas reserves or resources.
To the extent cash flow from operations is reduced, either by a decrease in prevailing prices for oil and natural gas or an increase in finding and development costs, and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable, our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of oil and natural gas reserves would be impaired. Even with sufficient available capital, our future exploration and development activities may not result in additional reserves, and we might not be able to drill productive wells at acceptable costs.
The establishment of proved reserves is subjective and subject to many uncertainties.
In general, estimates of recoverable natural resources are based upon a number of factors and assumptions made as of the date on which the resource estimates were determined, such as geological and engineering estimates, which have inherent uncertainties, and the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and estimates of future commodity prices and operating costs, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. All such estimates are, to some degree, uncertain and classifications of resources are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty involved. For these reasons, estimates of the recoverable natural resources, the classification of such resources based on risk of recovery, prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers at different times, may vary substantially.
We are subject to political, economic and other risks and uncertainties in the foreign countries in which we operate.
Any international operations performed may expose us to greater risks than those associated with more developed markets. Due to our foreign operations, we are subject to the following issues and uncertainties that can adversely affect our operations in Turkey, or other countries in which we may operate properties in the future:
| ● | the risk of, and disruptions due to, expropriation, nationalization, war, revolution, election outcomes, economic instability, political instability, or border disputes; | |
| ● | the uncertainty of local contractual terms, renegotiation or modification of existing contracts and enforcement of contractual terms in disputes before local courts; | |
| ● | the risk of import, export and transportation regulations and tariffs, including boycotts and embargoes; | |
| ● | the risk of not being able to procure residency and work permits for our expatriate personnel; | |
| ● | the requirements or regulations imposed by local governments upon local suppliers or subcontractors, or being imposed in an unexpected and rapid manner; | |
| ● | taxation and revenue policies, including royalty and tax increases, retroactive tax claims and the imposition of unexpected taxes or other payments on revenues; |
| 4 |
| ● | exchange controls, currency fluctuations and other uncertainties arising out of foreign government sovereignty over foreign operations; | |
| ● | laws and policies of the United States and of the other countries in which we may operate affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment, including anti- bribery and anti-corruption laws; | |
| ● | the possibility of being subjected to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts in connection with legal disputes and the possible inability to subject foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in the United States; and | |
| ● | the possibility of restrictions on repatriation of earnings or capital from foreign countries. |
There can be no assurance that changes in conditions or regulations in the future will not affect our profitability or ability to operate in such markets.
We are subject to foreign currency risks.
Oil and gas operations in Turkey will generate revenues in Turkish Lira, while expenses will be incurred in Turkish Lira or U.S. dollars. Gas production in Turkey will generate Turkish Lira. Turkey is a hyper-inflationary economy. As a result, any fluctuations of these currencies may result in a change in reported revenues, if any, that our projects could generate if they commence production. Accordingly, our future financial results are subject to risk based on changes to foreign currency rates.
If we lose the services of our management and key consultants, then our plan of operations may be delayed.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive management, employees, directors and consultants. Losing the services of one or more key individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s prospective business until replacements are found.
Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high-risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Our future success depends on the success of our exploration, development and production activities in our prospects. These activities will be subject to numerous risks beyond our control, including the risk that we will be unable to economically produce our reserves or be able to find commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs. Our decisions to purchase, explore, develop or otherwise exploit prospects or properties will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained through geophysical and geological analyses, production data and engineering studies, the results of which are often inconclusive or subject to varying interpretations. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain before drilling commences. Overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can make a particular project unprofitable. Further, many factors may curtail, delay or prevent drilling operations, including:
| ● | unexpected drilling conditions; | |
| ● | pressure or irregularities in geological formations; | |
| ● | equipment failures or accidents; | |
| ● | pipeline and processing interruptions or unavailability; | |
| ● | title problems; |
| 5 |
| ● | adverse weather conditions; | |
| ● | lack of market demand for oil and natural gas; | |
| ● | delays imposed by, or resulting from, compliance with environmental laws and other regulatory requirements; | |
| ● | declines in oil and natural gas prices; and | |
| ● | shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs, equipment and qualified personnel. |
Our future drilling activities might not be successful, and drilling success rates overall or within a particular area could decline. We could incur losses by drilling unproductive wells. Shut-in wells, curtailed production and other production interruptions may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Litigation and contingent liability risk
The Company and its former subsidiary PPE Turkey are party to ongoing legal and arbitration proceedings, including an arbitration claim advanced against an offshore drilling rig contractor, a related defense of an action brought by the same contractor in Europe, and claims by a third party in respect of a former farm-in arrangement. While certain of these matters relate to PPE Turkey, which has been disposed of, the outcome of any such proceedings is inherently uncertain. There is no solid guarantee that any creditor of PPE Turkey will not attempt to commence an action against the Company. Adverse outcomes, including in matters where liability is presently disputed or recovery is not virtually certain, could result in material monetary judgments or settlements, indemnification obligations, or reputational harm, any of which could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and ability to fund its earn-in commitments.
A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect our ability to meet our future capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.
Revenues, operating results and future rate of growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we will be able to produce economically. Historically, oil and natural gas prices and markets have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. The recent increases in oil prices have highlighted the volatility in oil and oil prices are not expected to remain at current prices for an extended period of time, and lower prices could reduce revenues affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
A decrease in oil or natural gas prices will not only reduce revenues and profits but may also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable and may result in charges to earnings for impairment of the value of these assets. If oil or natural gas prices decline significantly for extended periods of time in the future, we might not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our obligations and make planned capital expenditures. Oil and natural gas prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Among the factors that could cause fluctuations are:
| ● | market expectations regarding supply and demand for oil and natural gas; |
| 6 |
| ● | levels of production and other activities of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil and natural gas producing nations; | |
| ● | market expectations about future prices for oil and natural gas; | |
| ● | the level of global oil and natural gas exploration, production activity and inventories; | |
| ● | political conditions, including embargoes, in or affecting oil and natural gas production activities; and | |
| ● | the price and availability of alternative fuels. |
Lower oil and natural gas prices may not only decrease our revenues on a per unit basis, but also may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we will be able to produce economically. A substantial or extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to operating hazards.
The oil and natural gas exploration and production business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosion, blowout, pipe failure, casing collapse, stuck tools, uncontrollable flows of oil or natural gas, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards such as oil spills, surface cratering, natural gas leaks, pipeline ruptures, discharges of toxic gases, underground migration, surface spills, mishandling of fracture stimulation fluids, including chemical additives, and natural disasters. The occurrence of any of these events could result in substantial losses to us due to injury and loss of life, loss of or damage to well bores and/or drilling or production equipment, costs of overcoming downhole problems, severe damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. Gathering systems and processing facilities are subject to many of the same hazards and any significant problems related to those facilities could adversely affect our ability to market our production.
Our oil and natural gas operations are subject to extensive and complex laws and government regulation, and compliance with existing and future laws may increase our costs or impair our operations.
Our oil and natural gas operations in countries in which we operate or may operate in the future will be subject to numerous laws and regulations, including those related to the environment, employment, immigration, labor, oil and natural gas exploration and development, payments to local, foreign and provincial officials, taxes and the repatriation of foreign earnings. If we fail to adhere to any applicable laws or regulations, or if such laws or regulations restrict exploration or production, or negatively affect the sale, of oil and natural gas, our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows may be impaired. We may be subject to governmental sanctions, such as fines or penalties, as well as potential liability for personal injury, property or natural resource damage and might be required to make significant capital expenditures to comply with federal, state or international laws or regulations. In addition, existing laws or regulations, as currently interpreted or reinterpreted in the future, or future laws or regulations, could adversely affect our business or operations, or substantially increase our costs and associated liabilities.
In addition, exploration for, and exploitation, production and sale of, oil and natural gas in countries in which we operate or may operate in the future are subject to extensive national and local laws and regulations requiring various licenses, permits and approvals from various governmental agencies. If these licenses or permits are not issued or unfavorable restrictions or conditions are imposed on our exploration or drilling activities, we might not be able to conduct our operations as planned. Alternatively, failure to comply with these laws and regulations, including the requirements of any licenses or permits, might result in the suspension or termination of operations and subject us to penalties. Our costs to comply with such laws, regulations, licenses and permits are significant.
| 7 |
Specifically, our oil and natural gas operations in countries in which we operate or may operate in the future will be subject to stringent laws and regulations relating to the release or disposal of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties, incurring investigatory or remedial obligations and the imposition of injunctive relief.
Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could require us to make significant expenditures to attain and maintain compliance and may otherwise have a material adverse effect on our industry in general and on our own results of operations, competitive position or financial condition. Although we intend to comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with existing or new regulations. In addition, the risk of accidental spills, leakages or other circumstances could expose us to extensive liability. We are unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations would materially adversely increase our cost of doing business or affect operations in any area.
Under certain environmental laws that impose strict, joint and several liability, we may be required to remediate our contaminated properties regardless of whether such contamination resulted from the conduct of others or from consequences of our own actions that were or were not in compliance with all applicable laws at the time those actions were taken. In addition, claims for damages to persons or property may result from environmental and other impacts of our operations. Moreover, new or modified environmental, health or safety laws, regulations or enforcement policies could be more stringent and impose unforeseen liabilities or significantly increase compliance costs. Therefore, the costs to comply with environmental, health or safety laws or regulations or the liabilities incurred in connection with them could significantly and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, many countries have agreed to regulate emissions of “greenhouse gases.” Methane, a primary component of natural gas, and carbon dioxide, a by-product of burning of oil and natural gas, are greenhouse gases. Regulation of greenhouse gases could adversely impact some of our operations and demand for some of our services or products in the future.
Competition in the oil and natural gas industry for licenses is intense, and many of our competitors have greater financial, technological and other resources than we do, which may adversely affect our ability to compete.
We will be operating in the highly competitive areas of oil and natural gas exploration, development, production and acquisition with a substantial number of other companies, both foreign and domestic. We face intense competition from independent, technology-driven companies as well as from both major and other independent oil and natural gas companies in each of the following areas:
| ● | seeking oil and natural gas exploration licenses and production licenses; | |
| ● | acquiring desirable producing properties or new leases for future exploration; |
| ● | marketing oil and natural gas production; | |
| ● | integrating new technologies; and | |
| ● | contracting for drilling services and equipment and securing the expertise necessary to develop and operate properties. |
| 8 |
Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, managerial, technological and other resources than we do. These companies are able to pay more for exploratory prospects and productive oil and natural gas properties than we can. To the extent competitors are able to pay more for properties than we are paying, we will be at a competitive disadvantage. Further, many of our competitors enjoy technological advantages over us and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to explore for and produce oil and natural gas prospects and to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to successfully conduct operations, implement advanced technologies, evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate transactions in this highly competitive environment.
We might not be able to obtain necessary permits, approvals or agreements from one or more government agencies, surface owners, or other third parties, which could hamper our exploration, development or production activities.
There are numerous permits, approvals, and agreements with third parties that will be necessary in order to enable us to proceed with our exploration, development or production activities and otherwise accomplish our objectives including inter alia, the application for and registration of our 29% license interest in Block M47c,d which is expected to occur after the conditions agreement is signed. The government agencies in international countries have discretion in interpreting various laws, regulations, and policies governing operations under licenses.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The value of our common stock may be affected by matters not related to our own operating performance.
The value of our common stock may be affected by matters that are not related to our operating performance and are outside of our control. These matters include the following:
| ● | oil prices and general economic conditions in Turkey, Canada, the United States and globally; | |
| ● | industry conditions, including fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas; | |
| ● | governmental regulation of the oil and natural gas industry, including environmental regulation and regulation of fracture stimulation activities; | |
| ● | fluctuation in foreign exchange or interest rates; | |
| ● | liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; | |
| ● | geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; | |
| ● | unanticipated operating events that can reduce production or cause production to be shut in or delayed; |
| ● | failure to obtain industry partner and other third-party consents and approvals, when required; | |
| ● | stock market volatility and market valuations; | |
| ● | competition for, among other things, capital, acquisition of reserves, undeveloped land and skilled personnel; | |
| ● | the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; |
| 9 |
| ● | worldwide supplies and prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas; | |
| ● | political conditions and developments in each of the countries in which we operate; | |
| ● | political conditions in oil and natural gas producing regions; | |
| ● | revenue and operating results failing to meet expectations in any particular period; | |
| ● | investor perception of the oil and natural gas industry; | |
| ● | limited trading volume of our common shares; | |
| ● | announcements relating to our business or the business of our competitors; | |
| ● | the sale of assets; | |
| ● | our liquidity; | |
| ● | our ability to raise additional funds; and | |
| ● | the impact of global health events, macroeconomic disruptions, and geopolitical developments on our operations and the economy. |
In the past, some companies that have experienced volatility in the trading price of their common stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. We might become involved in securities class action litigation in the future. Such litigation often results in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Investment in our common stock is speculative due to the nature of our business.
An investment in our common stock is speculative due to the nature of our involvement in the acquisition and exploration of oil and natural gas properties.
Our shareholders may experience dilution as a result of our issuance of additional common stock or the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.
We may enter into commitments in the future that would require the issuance of additional common stock, including future funding obligations for work programs occurring in 2028, which required an additional US $5 million contributed to the M47c,d work program. We may also grant additional share purchase warrants, restricted stock units or stock options. The exercise of share purchase warrants, restricted stock units or stock options and the subsequent resale of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Any stock issuances from our treasury will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders.
Furthermore, pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated March 20, 2026, if the Company completes an equity financing of not less than CAD$10.0 million on or before September 30, 2026, the approximately CAD$11.0 million of the amount owing under the Company’s convertible debentures will be converted into common shares at the same price as the equity financing, resulting in significant dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company fails to complete the required financing by September 30, 2026, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture will terminate and the full amount owing (including CAD$15.0 million in principal plus accrued interest) will remain payable, which could render the Company insolvent.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant. Accordingly, investors may only see a return on their investment if the value of our securities appreciates.

Our stock price is volatile.
Our common stock is traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the CSE) and the OTCQB. There can be no assurance that an active public market will continue for our common stock, or that the market price for our common stock will not decline below its current price. Such price may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to, investor perception of us and our industry and general economic and market conditions. The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of matters and market conditions.
Our common stock will be subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC.
Our securities will be subject to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply generally to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain limited exemptions. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Some brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the “penny stock rules” and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the “penny stock rules” for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the “penny stock rules,” investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and create additional dilution to existing shareholders upon any financings.
A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity; and if we sell such equity securities at a lower price, such sales could cause excessive dilution to existing shareholders.
We may issue debt to acquire assets or for working capital.
From time to time our Company may enter into transactions to acquire assets or the stock of other companies or we may require funding for general and administrative purposes. These transactions may be financed partially or wholly with debt, which may increase our debt levels above industry standards. Our governing documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that our Company may incur. The level of our indebtedness from time to time could impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future on a timely basis to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.
We may issue additional equity securities without the consent of shareholders. The issuance of any additional equity securities would further dilute our shareholders.
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the shareholders, to issue an unlimited number of shares of common stock authorized under our charter documents, of which 41,624,457 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025. We may issue additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, including securities convertible into shares of common stock, in connection with capital raising activities. The issuance of additional common stock would also result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Oil Exploration -Block M47, Turkey
The Company’s exploration focus is for oil in the Cudi-Gabar petroleum province, Southeastern Turkiye on the east quadrant through Trillion Energy Exploration Turkiye JSC (“Trillion JSC”), a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary. The Company , through Trillion JSC, in January 2026 entered into a farm-in agreement with Derkim Poliüretan Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Derkim”) to earn a 29% working & revenue interest in the M47c,d Blocks (“Block M47”) comprised of 151,484 hectares (374,325 acres) within the Cudi-Gabar petroleum province, Southeastern Turkiye (the “Oil Block Farmin”)
The terms of the Oil Block Farmin is for the Company through Trillion JSC is to earn a 29% undivided interest in the Block M47 (the “Participating Interest”) in exchange for a work commitment totalling US $15,000,000 (approximately CAD $20,547,000) (“the Investment”) earning by funding 80% of the costs of the first three exploration wells expected to be drilled over the next two years.
Trillion through Trillion JSC is responsible for certain funding commitments under the Oil Block Farmin to pay for works on the Block M47 exploration and development program. The First Tranche is for US $9,500,000 (approximately CAD $13,013,100) to fund Trillion’s work commitments for the first 18 months work program; and the second commitment is $USD $5,000,000 (approximately CAD $6,900,000) to fund Trillion’s the 2027-2028 work program. A joint Operating Committee will make and all drilling decisions, planning, and procurement decisions relating to the 2026 to 2028 work programs. Upon the Trillion completing the raise of the First Tranche , Derkim is obliged to take all necessary steps including inter alia, to submit an application to GDMPA for a formal licence interest transfer such that Trillion obtains a 29% Trillion licence interest on title, in accordance with the earn-in agreement.

SASB Gas Field and Cendere Gas Field:
The Company through its subsidiary PPE Turkey drilled six development gas wells (two in 2022 and four in 2023) at its conventional natural gas project, the SASB gas field located in the Black Sea, Turkiye. Trillion had a 49% interest in the SASB gas field. The Company was operator for the wells however, was required to turn back operatorship to its partner after drilling of the wells completed in 2023.
During 2025, the wells became water loaded and new tubing and gas lift operations were started, however, these failed to address the water loading issue sufficiently
During 2025, the Company through its subsidiary PPE Turkey produced oil from the Cendere field in Turkiye, a long-term low decline oil field where it holds a 19.6% (except three wells with 9.8%) interest. Both the Cendere oil field and SASB gas field assets were sold as a result of the sale of the Company’s subsidiary, Park Place Energy (Turkey) on April 6 2026.

Developments of the Business after the Reporting Period
Company restructuring and pivot to oil exploration after the financial period:
In January 2026, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to earn a 29% working interest in the M47 Block in exchange for total funding commitments of approximately $15.0 million. The earn-in is subject to the Company funding certain work program costs, including approximately $9.5 million for the 2026 work program and approximately $5.5 million for the 2027 work program. As part of the agreement, the Company is expected to fund a significant portion of the costs of initial drilling and seismic programs, after which costs will be shared based on participating interests. The earn-in is contingent upon the Company meeting its funding commitments.
On March 20, 2026, the Company entered into a fourth supplemental debenture indenture (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”) related to the Company’s convertible debentures.
| 12 |
The total amount owing under the convertible debentures will be comprised of the principal of CAD15.0 million and accrued to March 20, 2026 (the “Amount Due”). Pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, and conditional upon the Company completing an equity financing of not less than CAD10.0 million on or before September 30, 2026, the following settlement terms will apply:
(1) approximately CAD11.0 million of the Amount Due will be converted into common shares of the Company at the same price as the equity financing; and,
(2) the remaining balance including accrued interest will be forgiven by the debenture holders.
If the Company does not complete the required financing by September 30, 2026, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture will terminate and the full Amount Due will remain payable in accordance with the original terms of the debentures.
In April 2026, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of PPE Turkey, which holds the Company’s license interests in the SASB natural gas project and the Cendere oil field. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser will assume the assets and liabilities associated with PPE Turkey. In connection with the transaction, the Company will retain a 7% gross overriding royalty on future production revenues from the underlying licenses. The royalty becomes payable once cumulative gross revenues from the licenses following closing exceed $7.5 million and may also be realized upon any future disposition of the licenses by the purchaser.
In April 2026, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of five old common shares for every one new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants in this 20-F have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation.
Strategic Focus
Trillion’s strategic focus has recently shifted with the sale of its subsidiary Park Place Energy Turkey which held all operations and licences in the SASB natural gas project and the Cendere oil field. The Company pivoted to focus on earning a 29% working interest in the M47 Oil Block, which made an oil discovery during 2025, and in raising the necessary funding to meet commitments for the 2026 and 2027 work programs.
The Pivot occurred after disappointing performance of SASB gas field, which producing diminished during the year due to water-loading issues.
With the shift in focus to the M47 Oil Block and the need to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet to raise funds for the earn-in funding commitments, the decision was made to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of PPE Turkey, which holds the Company’s license interests in the SASB natural gas project and the Cendere oil field.
In 2026 and 2027 additional seismic study is planned over the remaining parts of the North Lead and South Leads locations not previously covered. Additionally, recalibrated gravity studies are planned over the Mid and South Leads.
A new exploration well is planned for 2026 -early 2027 on M47. The exact locations will depend on the seismic results and other assessment. Prior to these drilling operations, processing and interpretation of the new seismic data obtained from the 2026 planned seismic program will be carried out to delineate the precise well locations.

D. Property and Equipment
Turkey Properties- current
On April 24, 2026, Trillion’s Turkish subsidiary, Trillion Energy International Petrol Arama Üretim ve Sondaj Hizmetleri A.Ş. (“TET”), entered into an Addendum to its January 9, 2026 agreement with Derkim Poliüretan Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (“Derkim”), re licensee of the M47-C3 and M47-C4 blocks, to align the LOI timeline with the contemplated ~CAD $15,000,000 prospectus offering. TET agreed to pay a non-refundable First Extension Fee of USD $250,000 (which has been paid), extendable to June 15, 2026) and a non-refundable Second Extension Fee of USD $150,000 (by June 15, 2026, extendable to June 30, 2026), each creditable against amounts of the total work total commitment.
In 2024 seismic was shot for 130 km (-9m hole depth, 6kg charge) on the North Lead area of Block M47 and sections of the South and Mid leads areas. The seismic program was used to identify the North lead locations, where the Çetinkaya-1 and Çetinkaya-2 wells were subsequently drilled in 2025.
During 2024 and 2025, several new gravity surveys were conducted in the region. In earlier interpretations, the area in the North Lead where the Çetinkaya-1 and Çetinkaya-2 wells were drilled had been considered a single structure. However, the studies carried out in 2025 identified the presence of two separate structures. This development will potentially enable the two areas in the North Lead to be developed under separate development programs pending commerciality being achieved.
In addition, mine clearance activities were initiated in the Mid Lead area in 2024, which had previously been inaccessible during seismic and gravity surveys due to the presence of legacy landmines in the field.
Çetinkaya-1 well – Drilled in the North Lead, was completed on April 27, 2025 at a depth of 2,437 m within the Derdere formation in Mardin formations. Mud losses of approximately 40 barrels/hour were observed between 2,431 m and 2,435 m. During DST operations 33.7 barrels of oil were recovered and a second operation recovering 24 barrels of oil. API grade of the oil is 32.4. Well circulation losses occurred at 2,452 on encountering a fractured zone and early well termination, leaving about 200 meters of gross Mardin group undrilled. The well was temporary abandoned on June 26, 2025. Çetinkaya-1 well was determined to have gross pay of 50-60m based on the formation penetrated.
Çetinkaya-2 well - Drilled in the North Lead, approximately 2 km northwest of Çetinkaya-1 as an appraisal well and was completed on October 13, 2025 at 1,852 m and encountered the Derindere formation in the Mardin formation. The Derdere Formation was penetrated at 1,823 m however, the well was paused due to well instability at karstic zone 1,835m upon encountering high porosity zone of 25%. Approximately 150 -250 meters of the Mardin was left undrilled. Ceyinkaya-2 wells encountered 6 meters netpay at 12-25% in Martin saturated oil prior to drilling being paused. Well loss at TD supports open fractures and connected fracture network. This well needs to be sidetracked in the future.
Based on the 2025 drilling results, a discovery was made under (COGH standards) and a resource report was obtained, as below.

An independent firm, Chapman Hydrogen and Petroleum Engineering Ltd. (“Chapman”) completed an independent reserves assessment and evaluation of the oil and gas properties located in Turkey of Trillion Energy International Inc. The effective date of this evaluation is December 31, 2025. The evaluation was prepared in accordance with procedures and standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation (COGE) Handbook.
Turkey Properties- Discontinued operations
The Company had a 49% interest in the SASB Gas Field which included four production platforms plus 18 kilometers of subsea pipelines connecting the gas fields to an onshore gas processing facility located in the Black Sea.
During September 2022 five wells were drilled and one recompletion were put on production. In 2024, the Company was required to transfer operatorship to TPAO, the state operator. Subsequently, the SASB Gas Field incurred significant downtime due to water loading issues, and production declined significantly.
As at December 31, 2025, gross gas production for SASB was 0.015 MMcfd, net to Company was 0.00643 MMcf/d (after royalty) The average daily 2025 gross production rate for the field was 0.203 MMcfd and net to Company was 0.087 MMcf/d (after royalty). The average monthly natural gas sale price for 2025 was approximately US$10.12/ mcf. Production rates were very low due to water-loading issues impacting gas flow.
The Company sold its interest in the SASB Gas Field during April 2026 as part of the sale of all the outstanding shares of PPE Turkey.
Cendere
The Company during the year held a 19.6% interest in the Cendere field except three wells where the Company has a 9.8% interest, a producing oil field located in Central Turkey. A description of the Cendere Field geological and reservoir characteristics is as follows. The reservoirs are located in the South East Anatolian Basin and within the Middle Cretaceous period. The carbonated Derdere Formation is the main reservoir in Cendere Field and has dolomitization and fracturing. The produced oil was exported to the TPAO Karakus processing facility which then is transported onwards to the BOTAS-operated oil pipeline.
The Cendere Field was sold along with the SASB Gas Field in April 2026, as part of the sale of all the issued and outstanding shares of PPE Turkey.
Item 4A. unresolved staff comments
Not applicable.
Item 5. operating and financial review and prospects
The following discussion is management’s explanation of factors that have affected the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the historical periods covered by the financial statements, and management’s assessment of factors and trends which are anticipated to have material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
In April 2026, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of five old common shares for every one new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation.
A. Operating Results
Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $40,092,259 compared to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, with a net loss of $49,220,901 recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to a net loss of $9,128,642 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Factors contributing to the net loss for the three-month and year-end periods included the following:
Revenue
Revenues decreased by $4,120,178 from $7,000,836 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $2,880,658 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease observed is due to water loading of the SASB Gas Field wells.
Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred production expenses related to its Turkey operations of $2,370,651 (2024 - $4,771,276), depletion charges of $139,550 (2024 - $1,300,417), depreciation expense of $64,789 (2024- $87,408) and asset retirement obligation accretion expense of $269,386 (2024 - $269,114). Production expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased as compared with the comparative period in 2024 as a result of reduced activity due to well water-loading issues. Depletion decreased by $1,160,867 as a result of a decline in production levels, while depreciation expenses decreased due to the sale and disposal of additional equipment during the year ended December 31, 2025.
| 16 |
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had general and administrative expenses of $5,200,466, compared to $6,182,893 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to cost cutting efforts and reduction in staffing levels in Turkey, which was offset by the Company making an accrual of $1,880,855 for a potential 3rd party liability claim (see “Commitments and Contiguities – Third party liability claim”).
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $18,543 compared to $1,058,222 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to there not being any issuances of stock options or warrants during the year ended December 31, 2025, stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2025 is comprised entirely of issuances of restricted share units.
Other Income (Expense)
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had other expenses of $47,486,733 compared to other income of $1,413,949 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2025 consists mainly of an impairment on oil and gas assets of $54,498,394 (2024 - $9,892,000), a foreign exchange loss of $3,164,162 (2024 – $3,781,509) couple with finance costs of $3,096,811 (2024 – $2,560,648 ) as a result of interest and accretion recognized on convertible debentures issued during 2023. This is offset by the gain on net monetary position of $12,791,869 (2024 - $18,431,488) and a gain on debt settlement of $577,725 (2024 - $Nil). The net monetary gain is a result of Turkey being designated a hyper-inflationary economy as of April 1, 2022 for accounting purposes.
Total Assets
As at December 31, 2025, total assets decreased by $51,761,625 from $54,864,568 as at December 31, 2024 to $3,102,943 as at December 31, 2025. The decrease in total assets was primarily a result of an impairment on oil and gas assets of $54,498,394 recognized as at December 31, 2025.
Total Non-current Financial Liabilities
Total non-current liabilities as at December 31, 2025 decreased by $3,758,111 from $10,170,168 as at December 31, 2024 to $6,412,057 as at December 31, 2025. The decrease in total non-current liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in deferred tax liability, partially offset by an increase in asset retirement obligation.
Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2023
For this discussion, see our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 30, 2025.

| Stockholders’ equity (deficiency) | (38,897,470 | ) | 14,149,208 | 22,212,572 | ||||||||
| 17 |
As at December 31, 2025, working capital deficit was $34,373,381 in comparison to a working capital deficit of $27,931,650 as at December 31, 2024. The $6,441,731 increase in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable by $633,028, decrease in prepaid expenses of $208,847, increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3,984,617, and increase in convertible debentures of $1,458,822. This was partially offset by a decrease in loans payable of $389,919.
Based on the amounts recorded as at December 31, 2025, the sale of PPE Turkey would improve working capital by approximately $17.7 million. In addition, the Company has restructured the convertible debentures with a balance of $11,823,815 as at December 31, 2025, such that approximately CAD11.0 million will be converted into common shares of the Company, and the remaining balance including accrued interest will be forgiven by the debenture holders, subject to the Company completing an equity financing of not less than CAD10.0 million on or before September 30, 2026.
The Company is seeking to raise significant funds through equity financing in order to meet the terms of the convertible debenture restructuring agreement and to fund the work program commitments on the M47 Oil Block earn-in arrangement.

D. Trend Information
Global oil demand has increased in recent years, oil prices have increased, influenced by geopolitical developments, such as the war with Iran, evolving supply-demand dynamics, and energy security considerations. In Europe and Türkiye, there continues to be a strategic focus on enhancing domestic energy production and diversifying supply sources to reduce reliance on imported hydrocarbons.
| 19 |
Türkiye has continued to focus on the development of its domestic oil resources as part of its broader energy policy objectives. However, there can be no assurance that these policy priorities will result in favorable conditions for the Company’s operations or that future regulatory changes will not adversely affect the Company’s business in Türkiye.
Commodity prices for oil and natural gas have experienced fluctuations driven by a range of factors, including global economic conditions, OPEC+ production decisions, and geopolitical developments. In particular, recent tensions in the Middle East, including those involving the United States and Iran, have contributed to increased volatility in global energy markets. Disruptions and uncertainty related to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit route for a significant portion of global oil supply, have resulted in upward pressure on oil prices. The duration and extent of such disruptions remain uncertain, and these factors may continue to impact global energy markets and pricing dynamics.
These trends may affect industry activity levels, including exploration and development spending, operating costs, and revenues within the oil and gas sector.

D. Exchange Controls
Canada
There are currently no Canadian exchange control restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company or on the repatriation of capital or other payments by the Company to non-resident holders of its securities.
| 30 |
Türkiye
The Company conducts its operations in Türkiye and is therefore subject to Turkish laws and regulations relating to foreign exchange. Türkiye has a generally liberal foreign exchange regime, and there are currently no significant restrictions on the repatriation of capital or the remittance of dividends or other payments to foreign investors.
However, foreign exchange transactions in Türkiye are subject to regulations promulgated by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye and other regulatory authorities. These regulations may include certain reporting requirements and, from time to time, measures affecting the availability and cost of foreign currency. In addition, economic and political conditions in Türkiye may impact the Company’s ability to convert Turkish lira into foreign currencies or transfer funds outside of Türkiye.
There can be no assurance that the Turkish government will not impose additional exchange control restrictions or take other measures in the future that could affect the Company’s operations or the ability of investors to receive dividends or other payments.
E. Taxation
Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to the holding and disposition of common shares in the capital of the Company by a United States resident, and who holds common shares solely as capital property, referred to as a “U.S. Holder”. This summary is based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), referred to as the “Tax Act”, the regulations thereunder, all amendments thereto publicly proposed by the government of Canada, the published administrative practices of Revenue Canada, Customs, Excise and Taxation, and the current provisions of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980, as amended, referred to as the “Treaty”. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this summary does not take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign (including without limitation, any United States) tax law or treaty. It has been assumed that all currently proposed amendments will be enacted substantially as proposed and that there is no other relevant change in any governing law or practice, although no assurance can be given in theses respects.
Each U.S. Holder is advised to obtain tax and legal advice applicable to such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.
Every U.S. Holder is liable to pay a Canadian withholding tax on every dividend that is or is deemed to be paid or credited to the U.S. Holder on the U.S. Holder’s common shares. The statutory rate of withholding tax is 25% of the gross amount of the dividend paid. The Treaty reduces the statutory rate with respect to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder for the purposes of the Treaty. Where applicable, the general rate of withholding tax under Treaty is 15% of the gross amount of the dividend. The Company is required to withhold the applicable tax from the dividend payable to the U.S. Holder, and to remit the tax to the Receiver General of Canada for the account of the U.S. Holder.
| 31 |
Pursuant to the Tax Act, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian capital gains tax on any capital gain realized on an actual or deemed disposition of a common share, including a deemed disposition on death, provided that the U.S. Holder did not hold the common share as capital property used in carrying on a business in Canada, and that neither the U.S. Holder nor persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arms-length (alone or together) owned or had the right or an option to acquire 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the Company at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from the ownership and disposition of the common shares. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders who hold common shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment).
This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the ownership and disposition of common shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any particular U.S. Holder. In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. Medicare contribution, U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of common shares. Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of common shares.
No opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of common shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, any position taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities upon which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.
Scope of This Disclosure
Authorities This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the “Canada-U.S. Tax Convention”), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date hereof. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.
U.S. Holders. For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
An individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;
A corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
An estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
A trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
| 32 |
For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of common shares that is not a partnership (or other “passthrough” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not a U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to non-U.S. Holders arising from the ownership or disposition of common shares.
Accordingly, a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences (including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the purchase of the common shares and the ownership or disposition of common shares.
U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed
This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations of ownership or disposition of common shares by U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a “mark-to-market” accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own common shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders that acquire common shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) U.S. Holders that hold common shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); (h) U.S. Holders that own directly, indirectly, or by attribution, 10% or more, by voting power or value, of the outstanding stock of the Company; and (i) U.S. Holders subject to Section 451(b) of the Code. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act; (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold common shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose common shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences (including the potential application and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of common shares.
If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other “passthrough” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners (or other owners) of such partnership of the ownership, or disposition of the common shares generally will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of such partners (or other owners). This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences for any such partner or partnership (or other “passthrough” entity or its owners). Owners of entities and arrangements that are classified as partnerships (or other “passthrough” entities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of common shares.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Such capital gain or loss will generally be a long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares is more than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of noncorporate U.S. Holders. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in common shares generally will be such U.S. Holder’s U.S. dollar cost for such common shares.
| 33 |
Medicare Tax
Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their net investment income, which may include their gross dividend income and net gains from the disposition of our ordinary shares.
Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Status of the Company
Because the Company is producing revenue from its operations, the Company does not believe that it was classified as a PFIC for its taxable year ended December 31, 2025. However, the Company has not performed an analysis of whether or not it will be deemed a PFIC for its current taxable year. The determination of PFIC status is inherently factual, is subject to a number of uncertainties, and can be determined only annually at the close of the tax year in question. Additionally, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. If the Company is or becomes a PFIC, the foregoing description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares will be different. There can be no assurance that the Company will or will not be determined to be a PFIC for the current tax year or any prior or future tax year, and no opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the status of the Company as a PFIC has been obtained or will be requested. U.S. Holders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding the PFIC status of the Company. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of common shares if the Company is or becomes a PFIC are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences if the Company is a PFIC.”
A non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for each tax year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) (the “income test”) or (ii) 50% or more (by value) of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during such tax year) either produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”). For purposes of the PFIC provisions, “gross income” generally includes sales revenues less cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or other operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from commodities or securities transactions and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of certain assets which product passive income. If a non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated, for purposes of the income test and asset test, as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.
Under certain attribution and indirect ownership rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will generally be deemed to own their proportionate share of the Company’s direct or indirect equity interest in any company that is also a PFIC (a “Subsidiary PFIC”), and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on their proportionate share of (a) any “excess distributions,” as described below, on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) a disposition or deemed disposition of the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC by the Company or another Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any indirect gain realized on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC on the sale or disposition of common shares. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should be aware that they could be subject to tax even if no distributions are received and no redemptions or other dispositions of the Company’s common shares are made.
Tax Consequences if the Company is a PFIC
If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder holds common shares, special rules may increase such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability with respect to the ownership and disposition of such common shares. If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder owns common shares, the Company will be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for that tax year and for all subsequent tax years, regardless of whether the Company meets the income test or the asset test for such subsequent tax years, unless the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the common shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell the common shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s common shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless the Company subsequently becomes a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding the availability and desirability of a deemed sale election.
| 34 |
Under the default PFIC rules:
Any gain realized on the sale or other disposition (including dispositions and certain other events that would not otherwise be treated as taxable events) of common shares (including an indirect disposition of the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC) and any “excess distribution” (defined as a distribution to the extent it (together with all other distributions received in the relevant tax year) exceeds 125% of the average annual distribution received during the shorter of the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares) received on common shares or with respect to the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC will be allocated ratably to each day of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares;
The amount allocated to the current tax year and any year prior to the first year in which the Company was a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income in the current year;
The amount allocated to each of the other tax years (the “Prior PFIC Years”) will be subject to tax at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for the applicable class of taxpayer for that year; and
An interest charge will be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each Prior PFIC Year.
A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective “mark-to-market” election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market Election”) or a timely and effective election to treat the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” (a “QEF”) under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF Election”) may generally mitigate or avoid the default PFIC rules described above with respect to common shares U.S. Holders should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company has satisfied or will satisfy the recordkeeping requirements that apply to a QEF or that the Company has supplied or will supply U.S. Holders with information such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules in the event that the Company is a PFIC for any tax year.
A timely and effective QEF Election requires a U.S. Holder to include currently in gross income each year its pro rata share of the Company’s ordinary earnings and net capital gains, regardless of whether such earnings and gains are actually distributed. Thus, a U.S. Holder could have a tax liability with respect to such ordinary earnings or gains without a corresponding receipt of cash from the Company. If the Company is a QEF with respect to a U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the common shares will be increased to reflect the amount of the taxed but undistributed income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a corresponding reduction of basis in the common shares and will not be taxed again as a distribution to a U.S. Holder. Taxable gains on the disposition of common shares by a U.S. Holder that has made a timely and effective QEF Election are generally capital gains. A U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election for the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC if it wishes to have this treatment. To make a QEF Election, a U.S. Holder will need to have an annual information statement from the Company setting forth the ordinary earnings and net capital gains for the year and the Company may not provide this statement, in which case a QEF Election cannot be made. In general, a U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election on or before the due date for filing its income tax return for the first year to which the QEF Election will apply. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder will be permitted to make retroactive elections in particular, but limited, circumstances, including if it had a reasonable belief that the Company was not a PFIC and did not file a protective election. If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through another PFIC, separate QEF Elections must be made for the PFIC in which the U.S. Holder is a direct shareholder and the Subsidiary PFIC for the QEF rules to apply to both PFICs.
Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability and desirability of, and procedure for, making a timely and effective QEF Election (including a “pedigreed” QEF election where necessary) for the Company and any Subsidiary PFIC.
Alternatively, a Mark-to-Market Election may be made with respect to “marketable stock” in a PFIC if which is stock that is “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange or other market” (within the meaning of the Code and the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations). A class of stock that is traded on one or more qualified exchanges or other markets is considered to be “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which such class of stock is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. If the common shares are considered to be “regularly traded” within this meaning, then a U.S. Holder generally will be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its common shares. However, there is no assurance that the common shares will be or remain “regularly traded” for this purpose. A Mark-to-Market Election may not be made with respect to the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC. Hence, a Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to eliminate the application of the default PFIC rules, described above, with respect to deemed dispositions of Subsidiary PFIC stock, or excess distributions with respect to a Subsidiary PFIC.
| 35 |
A U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective Mark-to-Market Election with respect to common shares generally will be required to recognize as ordinary income in each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of such shares as of the close of such taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares as of the close of such taxable year. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares generally will be increased by the amount of ordinary income recognized with respect to such shares. If the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares as of the close of a tax year exceeds the fair market value of such shares as of the close of such taxable year, the U.S. Holder generally will recognize an ordinary loss, but only to the extent of net mark-to-market income recognized with respect to such shares for all prior taxable years. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares generally will be decreased by the amount of ordinary loss recognized with respect to such shares. Any gain recognized upon a disposition of the common shares generally will be treated as ordinary income, and any loss recognized upon a disposition generally will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of net mark-to-market income recognized for all prior taxable years. Any loss recognized in excess thereof will be taxed as a capital loss. Capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.
Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability and desirability of, and procedure for, making a timely and effective Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the common shares.
Foreign Tax Credit
A U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax in connection with the ownership or disposition of common shares may (under certain circumstances) be entitled to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid generally at the election of such U.S. Holder. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all creditable foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.
Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” Generally, dividends paid by a non-U.S. corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of securities of a non-U.S. corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the common shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.
Special rules apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution, including a constructive distribution, from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, non-U.S. taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complicated, and a U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding their application to the U.S. Holder.
Receipt of Foreign Currency
The amount of any distribution or proceeds paid in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder in connection with the ownership of common shares, or on the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as translated into U.S. dollars calculated by reference to the exchange rate prevailing on the date of actual or constructive receipt of the payment, regardless of whether the Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time. If the Canadian dollars received are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a basis in the Canadian dollars equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in Canadian dollars and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the Canadian dollars may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would generally be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method with respect to foreign currency.
| 36 |
Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars.
Information Reporting; Backup Withholding
Under U.S. federal income tax law, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a non-U.S. corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of “specified foreign financial assets” includes not only financial accounts maintained in non-U.S. financial institutions, but also, if held for investment and not in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a non-U.S. entity. A U.S. Holder may be subject to these reporting requirements unless such U.S. Holder’s common shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns on IRS Form 8938, and, if applicable, filing obligations relating to the PFIC rules, including possible reporting on an IRS Form 8621.
Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman of (a) distributions on the common shares, and (b) proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of common shares generally will be subject to information reporting. In addition, backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, may apply to such payments if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form W9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding. Certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner. The information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply even if, under the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention, payments are eligible for a reduced withholding rate.
The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute an exhaustive description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and, under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.
The above summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all U.S. tax considerations applicable to U.S. holders with respect to the ownership, exercise or disposition of common shares. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax considerations applicable to them in their particular circumstances.

Item 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, being December 31, 2025, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as further discussed below.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and for evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS; and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management which includes our president and chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based upon criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on such evaluation, management determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 because the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2025: the lack of independent review. In order to address this deficiency, management is in the process of implementing additional levels of review as part of its financial close process.
| 39 |
(c) Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm
This Form 20-F Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Form 20-F Annual Report.
(d) Changes in internal control over financing reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Company does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Each of the Company’s directors serving on the audit committee is financially literate and is able to professionally discharge the duties incumbent upon audit committee members. However, none of the audit committee members are “financial experts”. The audit committee financial expert is not appointed due to the Company’s small size and limited resources. At such time as the Company may secure a project and is able to raise the significant funds necessary to exploit the opportunity, the Company will make a concerted effort to identify and appoint a financial expert to its audit committee.
Item 16B. CODE OF ETHICS
On October 21, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), which applies to the Company’s directors, officers and employees. The Code was adopted to further strengthen the Company’s internal compliance program. The Code addresses among other things, honesty and integrity, fair dealing, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and administration of the code.
Item 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the aggregate fees to MNP LLP for professional services rendered for the audits of our annual financial statements included in our Form 20-F Annual Report were $140,000.

Item 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
General
Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company whose members are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders of the Company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management. The Board of the Company is committed to sound corporate governance practices, as such practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.
Board of Directors
Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company’s Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.
The non-independent members of the Board of the Company are:
David Thompson Sean Stofer Scott Lower |
The independent member of the Board of the Company for the 2025 year is:
| Jay Park |
Management has been delegated the responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company’s business in the ordinary course, managing cash flow, identifying new exploration prospects, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff and complying with applicable regulatory requirements. The board facilitates its independent supervision over management by reviewing and approving long-term strategic, business and capital plans, material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions. Through its audit committee, the Board examines the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control processes and management information systems.
Directorships
Except as disclosed below, the directors of the Company do not hold directorships in other reporting issuers. Mr. David Thompson, a director of the Company, also serves as a director of Madeira Minerals Ltd. Jay Park is a director and chairman of MCF Energy Inc.
Orientation and Continuing Education
When new directors are appointed, they receive an orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company’s properties, business, technology and industry and on the responsibilities of directors.
Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.
| 41 |
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board is of the view that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law are sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.
Nomination of Directors
The Board reviews its size each year. It considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.
Compensation
The Compensation committee consists of the board of directors.
Other Board Committees
The Company has a reserves committee which consists of each Sean Stofer, Scott Lower and David Thompson.
Assessments
The Board monitors the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the Board and management and the strategic direction and processes of the Board and committees. The Board has frequent communications with management and other board members, and is regularly consulted on important Company decisions. In this context, the Board periodically reviews the performance of the Board as a whole, any standing committees it has appointed, and individual directors, to ensure each is performing effectively.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
(Stated in United States dollars)
| F-1 |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Trillion Energy International Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Trillion Energy International Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a negative working capital position, has accumulated deficits, and negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Assessment of impairment indicators and the impact of estimated oil and gas reserves on oil and gas assets
Critical Audit Matter Description
We refer to Note 2 (h) summary of significant accounting policies and Note 6 Oil and Gas Properties. The Company had $721,403 of oil and gas properties as at December 31, 2025. Depletion expense was $139,550 for the year then ended. The Company depletes its oil and gas properties on a unit-of-production basis over the life of their proved reserves. The Company identified indicators of impairment as at December 31, 2025 related to the Company’s South Akcakoca Sub-Basin cash generating unit (“CGU”). The Company therefore determined the recoverable amount as of December 31, 2025 and recognized an impairment of $54.5 million. Key assumptions developed by management to determine proved reserves include forward price estimates, expected future rates of production, the amount and timing of future development expenditures, and future royalties and operating expenditures. The Company’s reserves are evaluated by an independent qualified reserve evaluator (management’s expert).
We identified the impact of oil and natural gas reserves on oil and gas properties and the assessment of the recoverable amount of oil and gas properties as a key audit matter due to:
| ● | The significant estimates and judgments used by management, including the use of management’s expert, to estimate the proved reserves. | |
| ● | The significant auditor judgment required. | |
| ● | The effort in performing procedures related to the key assumptions used. | |
| ● | The required involvement of valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge. |
Audit Response
We responded to this matter by performing procedures in relation to the estimate of oil and gas reserves as at December 31, 2025 and the assessment of impairment indicators of oil and gas properties. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:
| ● | Evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the independent qualified reserve evaluator engaged by the Company, who estimated the proved reserves. We evaluated the methodology used by the independent qualified reserves evaluator to estimate the proved reserves for compliance with the applicable regulatory standards. Procedures included gaining an understanding of the work performed by management’s expert, testing the data and assumptions used by management’s expert, and evaluating their findings. | |
| ● | Evaluated the key assumptions used by management in determining proved reserves and the reasonableness thereof. Procedures included: |
| ○ | Testing of forward price estimates by comparing to third-party industry forecasts. | |
| ○ | Using the past and current performance of the Company to evaluate expected future rates of production and the timing and amount of future development expenditures. | |
| ○ | Assessing whether the estimates used were consistent with audit evidence gathered in other areas of our audit. |
| ● | Compared the current year actual CGU production volumes, royalty rates, operating and capital costs to those estimates used in the prior year estimate of proved reserves by CGU to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. | |
| ● | Obtained an understanding of the Company’s processes and controls over the proved reserves, assessment of the recoverable amount and depletion expense. | |
| ● | Recalculated depletion expense. |

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

| 1. | Organization and going concern |
Trillion Energy International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is a Canadian based oil and gas exploration and production company. Effective January 2022, the corporate headquarters moved to Suite 700, 838 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada from Turan Gunes Bulvari, Park Oran Ofis Plaza, 180-y, Daire:54, Kat:14, 06450, Oran, Cankaya, Anakara, Turkey. The Company also has a registered office in Canada. The Company is incorporated in British Columbia. The Company’s shares trade on the OTCQB under the symbol “TRLEF” and trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “TCF”.
On January 21, 2022, the Company redomiciled from Delaware to a British Columbia corporation by way of an amalgamation transaction with the Company’s British Columbian subsidiary, Trillion Energy Inc. (the “Repatriation Transaction”). Pursuant to the Repatriation Transaction, for every one common stock of Trillion Energy International Inc., the shareholders will receive one common stock of Trillion Energy Inc. The Company will continue to operate and report under the name of Trillion Energy International Inc.
As a result of the Repatriation Transaction, the Company meets the definition of a foreign private issuer, as defined under Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On September 18, 2023, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of five old common shares for every one new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation.
In April 2026, the Company consolidated its issued share capital on a ratio of five old common shares for every one new post-consolidated common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, weighted average number of common shares, loss per share, stock options and warrants have been restated to give effect to this share consolidation.
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it
will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course
of operations. As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $

| (a) | Basis of Presentation |
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Park Place Energy Corp. (“PPE Corp.”), Park Place Energy Bermuda (“PPE Bermuda”), BG Exploration EOOD (“BG Exploration”), Park Place Energy Turkey (“PPE Turkey”) and Trillion Energy A.S. (“Trillion A.S.”). The Company’s oil and gas operations are conducted jointly with its joint venture partner (Note 6).

The joint arrangement meets the definition of a joint operation under IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements” (“IFRS 11”); therefore, the Company’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The functional currency of BG Exploration is the Bulgarian Lev. The functional currency of the Company’s Turkish operations is the Turkish Lira (“₺”). The functional currency of the Company’s Bermuda subsidiary is the United States dollar (“USD”), and the function currency of PPE Corp is the USD. Prior to January 1, 2022, the functional currency of Trillion Energy International Inc. was USD. The Company redomiciled from United States to Canada and became a Canadian Company in January 2022, resulting in the parent’s expenditures being denominated primarily in Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and the Company being funded primarily from issuance of equity instruments which proceeds are in CAD. As a result, the Company determined that the functional currency of the parent was changed to CAD effective January 1, 2022.
The Company has accounted for the change in functional currency prospectively with no impact of this change on prior period comparative information. The Company has made an accounting policy choice to reassess the classification of financial instruments as liabilities or equity or vice versa as applicable when the functional currency of the Company or its subsidiaries changes. The policy will be applied consistently in the future.
A portion of the Company’s exploration and development activities are conducted jointly with others. The joint interests are accounted for on a proportionate consolidation basis and as a result the financial statements reflect only the Company’s proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows from these activities.

These consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 23, 2026.
Basis of Measurement
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain derivative liabilities, which are measured at fair value.
Hyperinflation
Due to various qualitative factors and developments with respect to the economic environment in Turkey, including but not limited to, the acceleration of multiple local inflation indices, the three-year cumulative inflation rate of the local Turkish wholesale price index exceeding 100% at the end of February 2022 and the significant devaluation of the Turkish Lira, Turkey has been designated a hyper-inflationary economy as of April 1, 2022 for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyper-Inflationary Economies was adopted by the Company in its consolidated financial statements and applied to these consolidated financial statements in relation to PPE Turkey. The consolidated financial statements are based on the historical cost approach in IAS 29.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
The application of hyperinflation accounting requires restatement of PPE Turkey’s non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity and comprehensive income (loss) items from the original transaction date when they were first recognized into the current purchasing power which reflects a general price index current at the end of the reporting period. To measure the impact of inflation on its financial statements and results, the Company has elected to use the consumer price index (“CPI”) as published by the Turkish Statistical Institute “TURKSTAT”.
IAS 29 also requires the restatement of comparative periods for the effects of hyperinflation unless the comparatives were previously presented in a different presentation currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in US dollars, a stable currency, and as a result the comparative amounts do not require restatement.
On
April 1, 2022, the Company recognized an adjustment of $

| (b) | Use of Estimates and Judgments |
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Functional Currency
The functional currency for the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Determination of the functional currency involves certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment and the Company reconsiders the functional currency of its entities if there is a change in events and conditions which determined the primary economic environment.
Determination of Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”)
A CGU is the lowest grouping of integrated assets that generate identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. The allocation of assets into CGUs requires significant judgment and interpretations with respect to the integration between assets, the existence of active markets, similar exposure to market risks, shared infrastructure, and the way in which management monitors the operations.
Going Concern
The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to raise sufficient funds to pay its ongoing operating expenditures and to meet its liabilities for the ensuing year, involves significant judgment based on historical experience and other factors, including expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company recognizes obligation for the future decommissioning and restoration of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and oil and gas properties based on estimated future decommissioning and restoration costs. Management applies judgment in assessing the existence and extent as well as the expected method of reclamation of the Company’s decommissioning and restoration obligations at the end of each reporting period. Management also uses judgment to determine whether the nature of the activities performed is related to decommissioning and restoration activities or normal operating activities.
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
Convertible Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed a convertible debenture financing. The convertible debentures include certain conversion features and associated warrants which were valued using the option pricing model and required significant assumptions to be made by management to value.
Oil and Gas Reserves
The Company’s estimate of oil and gas reserves is considered in the measurement of depletion, depreciation, impairment, and decommissioning and restoration obligations. The estimation of reserves is an inherently complex process and involves the exercise of professional judgment. All reserves are evaluated annually by independent qualified reserves evaluators. Oil and gas reserves estimates are based on a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including projected future rates of production, projected future commodity prices, engineering data, and the timing and amount of future expenditures, all of which are subject to uncertainty. Estimates reflect market and regulatory conditions existing at the evaluation date, which could differ significantly from other points in time throughout the period, or future periods. Changes in market and regulatory conditions and assumptions, as well as climate change, and the evolving worldwide demand for energy and global advancement of alternative sources of energy that are not sourced from fossil fuels can materially impact the estimation of net reserves.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Estimates are inherent in the on-going assessment of the recoverability of amounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected credit losses. Uncertainty relates to the actual collectability of customer balances that can vary from the Company’s estimation.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company recognizes obligation for the future decommissioning and restoration of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and oil and gas properties based on estimated future decommissioning and restoration costs. Actual costs are uncertain, and estimates may vary as a result of changes to relevant laws and regulations related to the use of certain technologies, the emergence of new technology, operating experience, prices and closure plans. The estimated timing of future decommissioning and restoration may change due to certain factors, including reserves life. Changes to estimates related to future expected costs, discount rates, inflation assumptions, and timing may have a material impact on the amounts presented.
Estimated Useful Lives and Depreciation of Equipment
Depreciation of equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives which are determined through the exercise of judgment. Changes to the estimated useful life of equipment could result in differences in their carrying amounts.

Leases – Estimating the Incremental Borrowing Rate
The Company cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in leases where it is the lessee. As such, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of comparable value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. IBR therefore reflects what the Company “would have to pay”, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or where the applicable rates need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Company estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and makes certain entity-specific estimates.
Leases – Estimating the Lease Term
The Company includes renewal options in the term of the lease when management deems that it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
Impairment of Non-Current Assets
Management applies judgment in assessing the existence of impairment indicators based on various internal and external factors. The recoverable amount of assets is determined based on the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations. The key estimates the Company applies in determining the recoverable amount normally include estimated future commodity prices, discount rates, expected production volumes, future operating and development costs, income taxes, and operating margins. In determining the recoverable amount, management may also be required to make judgments regarding the likelihood of occurrence of a future event. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the recoverable amounts of assets and may then require a material adjustment to their related carrying value.
Stock-based Compensation
The cost of equity-settled stock-based transactions (options, warrants, and equity-settled RSUs) with directors, officers and employees are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments. Estimating fair value for equity-settled stock-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and dividend yield of the stock option. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the operating result and may then require a material adjustment.
Cash-settled RSUs are accounted for as liability instruments and are measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company’s common shares at each reporting period. The fair value is recognized as stock-based compensation over the vesting period. Fluctuations in the fair values are recognized as stock-based compensation over the vesting period.
Fair Value of Derivative Liability
The Company’s warrants and conversion features with exercise prices denominated in a currency other the Company’s functional currency are recognized as derivatives measured at fair value through the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Estimating fair value for derivative liability requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the issuance. This estimate also requires determining and making assumptions about the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life, volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected forfeiture rate and dividend yield of the derivatives. Changes to these estimates and judgments will affect the operating result and may then require a material adjustment.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
Deferred Tax
Judgments are made by management at the end of the reporting period to determine the probability that deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable earnings. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires the Company to make judgments related to the expectations of future cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that assumptions regarding future profitability change, there can be an increase or decrease in the amounts recognized in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which the change occurs.
| (c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
| (d) | Amounts Receivable |
Amounts receivable consist primarily of oil and gas receivables. The Company has classified these as current assets in the consolidated statements of financial position because the Company expects repayment or recovery within the next 12 months. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability and, when necessary, records an expected credit loss. The Company deems all accounts receivable to be collectable and has not recorded any expected credit losses.
| (e) | Property and Equipment |
Property
and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimate
useful lives are as follows: Motor vehicles –
| (f) | Revenue Recognition |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligation(s) by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments
The Company sells oil and natural gas products in Turkey. The Company enters into contracts that generally include one type of distinct product in variable quantities and priced based on a specific index related to the type of product.
The oil and natural gas are typically sold in an unprocessed state to processors and other third parties for processing and sale to customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of the oil is transferred. For oil sales, control is typically transferred to the customer upon receipt at the wellhead or a contractually agreed upon delivery point. Under the Company’s natural gas contracts with processors, control transfers upon delivery at the wellhead or the inlet of the processing entity’s system. For the Company’s other natural gas contracts, control transfers upon delivery at the inlet or to a contractually agreed upon delivery point. In the cases where the Company sells to a processor, the Company has determined that the Company is the principal in the arrangement and the processors are the Company’s customers. The Company recognizes the revenue in these contracts based on the net proceeds received from the processor.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company uses the practical expedient in IFRS 15 Paragraph 121(a) which states the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. The Company has no unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period.
The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified. There is a low level of uncertainty due to the precision of measurement and use of index-based pricing with predictable differentials. Additionally, any variable consideration identified is not constrained.
| (g) | Evaluation and Exploration Assets |
Pre-license exploration costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as incurred.
The costs to acquire non-producing oil and gas properties or licenses to explore, drill exploratory wells and the costs to evaluate the commercial potential of underlying resources, including related borrowing costs, are initially capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets.
Exploration and evaluation assets are subject to technical, commercial and management review to confirm the continued intent to develop and extract the underlying resources. If an area or exploration well is no longer considered commercially viable, the related capitalized costs are charged to exploration expense.
Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation and depletion. When management determines with reasonable certainty that an exploration and evaluation asset will be developed, as evidenced by the classification of proved or probable reserves and the appropriate internal and external approvals, the asset is transferred to oil and gas properties. The Company records geological and geophysical expenses to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as incurred.
| (h) | Oil and Gas Properties |
Oil and gas properties (“O&G”) include development and productions costs, less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. O&G are grouped into CGUs for impairment testing. The Company has grouped its O&G into two CGUs: the Cendere Oil Field and SASB Gas Field.
When significant parts of an item of O&G have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components). Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability and the costs of replacing parts of O&G are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as incurred.
Such capitalized items generally represent costs incurred in developing proved and/or probable reserves and bringing on or enhancing production from such reserves and are accumulated on a field or geotechnical area basis. The carrying amount of any replaced or sold component is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of oil and gas properties are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss as incurred.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
| (h) | Oil and Gas Properties (continued) |
The net carrying value of O&G is depleted using the unit-of-production method by reference to the ratio of production in the year to the related proved reserves, considering estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. The estimated future development costs is added to the carrying value of O&G to calculate depletion. These estimates are reviewed by independent reservoir engineers at least annually.
| (i) | Impairment of Non-financial Assets |
Exploration and evaluation assets, O&G, and property and equipment are reviewed when events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets may not be recoverable. Exploration and evaluation assets are also tested for impairment immediately prior to being transferred to O&G. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
These calculations are based on available data, other observable inputs, and projections of cash flows, all of which are subject to estimates and assumptions. Recoverable amounts are also sensitive to assumptions about the future usefulness of in-process development and the related marketing rights.
| (j) | Provisions |
Provisions are recognized by the Company when it has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are recognized for the asset retirement obligation associated with the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets and O&G. Provisions for the asset retirement obligation are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the future cash flows required to settle the present obligation, using the risk-free interest rate. The value of the obligation is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and amortized over the useful life of the asset. The provision is accreted over time with actual expenditures charged against the accumulated obligation. Changes in the future cash flow estimates resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as a change in the asset retirement obligation and related assets.

| (k) | Financial Instruments |
Classification
The Company classifies its financial instruments into one of the following categories: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), or at amortized cost. This determination is made at initial recognition. All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position, net of any transaction costs except for financial instruments classified as FVTPL, where transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Subsequent measurement of financial instruments is based on their classification. The Company classifies its cash and cash equivalents as FVTPL, amounts receivable and notes and amounts receivable for equity issued as financial assets at amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, and convertible debt as financial liabilities at amortized cost. Embedded derivatives in other financial instruments or other host contracts are recorded as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract.
Measurement
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost
Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost sing the effective interest rate (“EIR”), less any impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL
Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from subsequent changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which they arise.
Debt investments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the EIR method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On derecognition, net gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
Equity investments at FVTOCI
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Impairment of Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
The Company recognizes an expected credit loss on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the allowance for expected credit loss for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the allowance for expected credit loss for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the allowance for expected credit loss at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.
Fair value
Fair value estimates are made at the consolidated statements of financial position date based on relevant market information and other information about financial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position are grouped into a fair value evaluation hierarchy.
This hierarchy groups financial assets and financial liabilities into three levels according to the significance of the inputs used in the fair value evaluation of the financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value levels of the hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities at the financial reporting date;
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
The level within which the financial asset or financial liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measurement. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents is categorized as Level 1. There were no changes in classification within the levels of fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flow from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
Financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is initially recognized at fair value. Gains and losses on derecognition are recognized in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

| (l) | Income Taxes |
Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in OCI or equity is recognized in OCI or equity and not in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the temporary differences to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted and are expected to apply by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
| (m) | Stock-Based Compensation |
Under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans, stock-based awards may be granted to executives, employees, and non-employee directors. The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) and stock options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. An individual is classified as an employee when the individual is an employee for legal or tax purposes or provides services like those performed by an employee.
The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted, using the Black Scholes valuation model. The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the “vesting date”). For cash settled stock-based compensation, the expense is determined based on the fair value of the liability at the end of the reporting period until the award is settled.
In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the Company as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at fair value of the stock-based payment.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies (continued) |
| (m) | Stock-Based Compensation (continued) |
The cumulative expense is recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period, and the corresponding amount is represented in the warrant and option reserve. At the end of each reporting period, the Company re-assesses its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest and recognizes the impact of the revisions in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.
No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.
Where the terms of an equity settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense or its reduction is recognized for any modification which increases or decreases the total fair value of the stock-based payment arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification. Where an award is cancelled by the Company or the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately or reversed through profit or loss, depending on the type of cancellation. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional dilution in the computation of earnings per share whereas anti-dilutive options are ignored.
Consideration paid to the Company on exercise of stock-based awards is credited to share capital and the associated amount in warrant and option reserve is reclassified to share capital.
| (n) | Unit Offerings |
Common shares are classified as equity. Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between shares and warrants issued using the residual method. The residual method first allocates fair value to the component with the best evidence of fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. If the attached warrants do not meet the definition of a derivative liability, the fair value of the common shares, measured on date of issue, are determined to be the component with the best evidence of fair value. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. If the attached warrants meet the definition of a derivative liability, the proceeds are first allocated to the fair value of the warrants and then the residual value, if any, is allocated to the common shares. Costs directly identifiable with share capital financings are charged against share capital. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a receivable as a contra account to shareholders’ equity.
| (o) | Loss per Share |
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for dilutive common shares. The number of shares included is computed using the treasury stock method. As certain instruments can be exchanged for common shares of the Company, they are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the calculation of the Company’s diluted net earnings per share if they have a dilutive impact in the period. The impact of potentially dilutive securities is not considered in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

| (p) | Leases |
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset on the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term. Judgment is applied to determine the lease term where a renewal option exists. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. In addition, the right-of-use assets may be reduced by impairment losses or adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of twelve months or less. The lease payments are recognized as an expense when incurred over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, and variable payments that are based on an index or rate.
Cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are presented within the financing activities section and the interest portion of the lease liability is presented within the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Short-term lease payments and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are presented within the operating activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows.
| (q) | Foreign Currency Translation |
Functional currencies of the Company’s individual entities are the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates that approximate those on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the appropriate functional currency at foreign exchange rates as at the date of the statement of financial position. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in net earnings. Non-monetary assets that are measured in a foreign currency at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of each entity are translated into USD, the presentation currency of the Company. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into USD at exchange rates as at the date of the statement of financial position. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations, whose functional currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are translated into USD using average foreign exchange rates for the period. The financial statements (i.e. assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses) of foreign operations whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, is first adjusted in accordance with the Company’s hyperinflation accounting policy, and then translated to USD at exchange rates as at the date of the statement of financial position. Foreign exchange differences resulting from translation from functional currency to presentation currency are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.

| (r) | Convertible Debt |
The components of the compound financial instrument (convertible debt) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. The conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount in cash for a fixed number of equity instruments of the Company is classified as an equity instrument. At the issue date, the liability component is recognized at fair value, which is estimated using the interest rate on the market for similar nonconvertible instruments. Subsequently, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the EIR until it is extinguished on conversion or maturity.
The value of the conversion option classified as equity is determined at the issue date, by deducting the amount of the fair value of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This amount is recognized in equity, net of tax effects, and is not revised subsequently. When the conversion option is exercised, the equity component of the convertible notes will be transferred to share capital. No profit or gain is recognized to the conversion or expiration of the conversion option.
| (s) | Assets Held For Sale |
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is met when the sale is highly probable, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets held for sale are presented separately in current assets within the consolidated statements of financial position. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell, and are not depreciated, depleted or amortized. An impairment loss is recognized for any initial or subsequent write-down of the assets held for sale to fair value less costs to sell. The comparative period consolidated statement of financial position is not restated.
| (t) | New IFRS Pronouncements |
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2025.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, issued in May 2024, clarify the date of recognition in financial assets and liabilities, and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payment of principal and interest criterion. The amendments also add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (on occurrence or non-occurrence of a contingent event) and updated the disclosure for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued in April 2024. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and introduces significant changes to the presentation of financial statements to enhance comparability across entities. The key requirements of the standard include:
| ● | Separate reporting of operating, investing, and financing activities in the statement of earnings, with prescribed subtotals for each category. |
| ● | Disclosure of management-defined performance measures in a dedicated note within the financial statements. |
The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with retrospective application required. The Company intends to assess the impact of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements closer to the effective date.

| 21. | Capital Management |
The
Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to
support its business plan, as well as to ensure that the Company is able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The
Company considers its capital for this purpose to be its stockholders’ equity. As at December 31, 2025, the Company is in a
stockholders’ deficiency position of $
The basis for the Company’s capital structure is dependent on the Company’s expected business growth and changes in business environment. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private placement, incur debt or return capital to members.
The Company is dependent upon external financings to fund activities. In order to carry future projects and pay administrative costs, the Company will utilize its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
| 22. | Financial Instruments and Risk Management |
The Company is exposed, through its operations, to the following financial risks:
| a) | Market risk |
| b) | Credit risk |
| c) | Liquidity risk |
The Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies, and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these consolidated financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, polices and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous reported periods unless otherwise stated in the note. The overall objective of management is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out below.
| a) | Market risk |
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates and equity price risk.
Foreign currency risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk as it has transactions denominated in currencies that are different from their functional currencies. The Company does not hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

through the variable interest debt facility it holds through its subsidiary PPE Turkey. A sustained increase or decrease in the variable interest rate by 5% would result in an increase or decrease in net
loss and comprehensive loss of approximately $
Other price risk:
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Company does not hold equity investments in other entities and therefore is not exposed to a significant risk.
| b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
The Company is subject to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable which consists primarily of trade receivables and notes and amounts receivable for equity issued. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on cash and cash equivalents by placing its cash with high-quality financial institutions.
The Company only has two customers. The Company mitigates credit risk by evaluating the creditworthiness of customers prior to conducting business with them and monitoring its exposure for credit losses with existing customers. One of the customers is the largest oil refinery in Turkey. The other customer provides letters of credit to
be used by the Company in the event of default. As at December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s trade receivables are current (< 30 days outstanding).
The
Company’s maximum credit exposure is $

| c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk arises from the Company’s general and capital financing needs. The Company continuously monitors and reviews both actual and forecasted cash flows, and also matches the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities, when feasible. The Company anticipates increases in revenue in future periods resulting from the completion of an additional well subsequent to the period end. Historically, the Company’s sources of funding has been through equity and debt financings. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant debt or equity funding.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s contractual cashflows.

Exhibit 11.1
TRILLION ENERGY INTERNATIONAL INC.
(the “Corporation”)
Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
For DIRECTORS, SENIOR OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE CORPORATION
(the “Code”)
This Code applies to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions (collectively, the “Senior Officers”) along with all directors and employees within the Corporation (the Senior Officers, directors and employees are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Employees”). This Code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all Employees of the Corporation. All Employees should conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid the appearance of improper behaviour in any way relating to the Corporation.
Any Employee who has any questions about the Code should consult with the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) or the Corporation’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”).
The Corporation has adopted the Code for the purpose of promoting:
| ● | honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; | |
| ● | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Corporation files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Corporation that are within the Senior Officer’s area of responsibility; | |
| ● | compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; | |
| ● | the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and | |
| ● | accountability for adherence to the Code. |
honest and ethical conduct
Each Senior Officer and member of the Board owes a duty to the Corporation to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Employees must adhere to a high standard of business ethics and are expected to make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of the Corporation, as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits. Generally, a “conflict of interest” occurs when an Employee’s personal interests is, or appears to be, inconsistent with, interferes with or is opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or gives the appearance of impropriety.
Business decisions and actions must be made in the best interests of the Corporation and should not be influenced by personal considerations or relationships. Relationships with the Corporation’s stakeholders - for example suppliers, competitors and customers - should not in any way affect an Employee’s responsibility and accountability to the Corporation. Conflicts of interest can arise when an Employee or a member of his or her family receive improper gifts, entertainment or benefits as a result of his or her position in the Corporation.
Specifically, each Employee must:
| 1. | act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information when required or consistent with the Corporation’s policies; | |
| 2. | avoid violations of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Corporation in personal and professional relationships; | |
| 3. | disclose to the Board or the Audit Committee any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a breach of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Corporation; | |
| 4. | obtain approval from the Board or Audit Committee before making any decisions or taking any action that could reasonably be expected to involve a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest; | |
| 5. | observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and Corporation policies; | |
| 6. | maintain a high standard of accuracy and completeness in the Corporation’s financial records; | |
| 7. | ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in the Corporation’s periodic reports; | |
| 8. | report any violations of the Code to the Board or Audit Committee; | |
| 9. | proactively promote ethical behaviour among peers in his or her work environment; and | |
| 10. | maintain the skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of his or her duties. |
Disclosure of Corporation information
As a result of the Corporation’s status as a public company, it is required to file periodic and other reports with the SEC. The Corporation takes its public disclosure responsibility seriously to ensure that these reports furnish the marketplace with full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure regarding the financial and business condition of the Corporation. All disclosures contained in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC, or other government agencies, on behalf of the Corporation or contained in other public communications made by the Corporation must be complete and correct in all material respects and understandable to the intended recipient.
The Senior Officers, in relation to his or her area of responsibility, must be committed to providing timely, consistent and accurate information, in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that this disclosure be accomplished consistently during both good times and bad and that all parties in the marketplace have equal or similar access to this information.
All of the Corporation’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Corporation’s transactions, and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Corporation’s system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off the book” funds, assets or liabilities should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Senior Officers involved in the preparation of the Corporation’s financial statements must prepare those statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and any other applicable accounting standards and rules so that the financial statements materially, fairly and completely reflect the business transactions and financial statements and related condition of the Corporation. Further, it is important that financial statements and related disclosures be free of material errors.
Specifically, each Senior Officer must:
| 1. | familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Corporation; | |
| 2. | not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Corporation to others, including the Corporation’s independent auditors, governmental regulators, self-regulating organizations and other governmental officials; | |
| 3. | to the extent that he or she participates in the creation of the Corporation’s books and records, promote the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records; and | |
| 4. | in relation to his or her area of responsibility, properly review and critically analyse proposed disclosure for accuracy and completeness. |
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Corporation of its customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, or others with whom the Corporation is considering a business or other transaction except when disclosure is authorized by an executive officer or required or mandated by laws or regulations. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be useful or helpful to competitors or harmful to the Corporation or its customers or suppliers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers, customers and other parties have entrusted to the Corporation. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.
Records containing personal data about employees or private information about customers and their employees are confidential. They are to be carefully safeguarded, kept current, relevant and accurate. They should be disclosed only to authorized personnel or as required by law.
All inquiries regarding the Corporation from non-employees, such as financial analysts and journalists, should be directed to the Board or the Audit Committee. The Corporation’s policy is to cooperate with every reasonable request of government investigators for information. At the same time, the Corporation is entitled to all the safeguards provided by law for the benefit of persons under investigation or accused of wrongdoing, including legal representation. If a representative of any government or government agency seeks an interview or requests access to data or documents for the purposes of an investigation, the Employee should refer the representative to the Board or the Audit Committee. Employees also should preserve all materials, including documents and e-mails that might relate to any pending or reasonably possible investigation.
Compliance with laws
The Employees must respect and obey all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to the business and operations of the Corporation.
Employees who have access to, or knowledge of, material nonpublic information from or about the Corporation are prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise trading in the Corporation’s stock or other securities. “Material nonpublic” information includes any information, positive or negative, that has not yet been made available or disclosed to the public and that might be of significance to an investor, as part of the total mix of information, in deciding whether to buy or sell stock or other securities.
Employees also are prohibited from giving “tips” on material nonpublic information, that is directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other person, including family members, other relatives and friends, so that they may trade in the Corporation’s stock or other securities.
Furthermore, if, during the course of an Employee’s service with the Corporation, he or she acquires material nonpublic information about another company, such as one of our customers or suppliers, or you learn that the Corporation is planning a major transaction with another company (such as an acquisition), the Employee is restricted from trading in the securities of the other company.
Reporting actual and potential violations of the code and Accountability for compliance with the code
The Corporation, through the Board or the Audit Committee, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions may arise and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. This Code is not intended to provide a comprehensive guideline for Senior Officers in relation to their business activities with the Corporation. Any Employee may seek clarification on the application of this Code from the Board or the Audit Committee.
Each Employee must:
| 1. | notify the Corporation of any existing or potential violation of this Code, and failure to do so is itself a breach of the Code; and | |
| 2. | not retaliate, directly or indirectly, or encourage others to do so, against any Employee for reports, made in good faith, of any misconduct or violations of the Code solely because that Employee raised a legitimate ethical issue. |
The Board or the Audit Committee will take all action it considers appropriate to investigate any breach of the Code reported to it. All Employees are required to cooperate fully with any such investigations and to provide truthful and accurate information. If the Board or the Audit Committee determines that a breach has occurred, it will take or authorize disciplinary or preventative action as it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Corporation’s counsel if warranted, up to and including termination of employment. Where appropriate, the Corporation will not limit itself to disciplinary action but may pursue legal action against the offending Employee involved. In some cases, the Corporation may have a legal or ethical obligation to call violations to the attention of appropriate enforcement authorities.
Compliance with the Code may be monitored by audits performed by the Board, Audit Committee, the Corporation’s counsel and/or by the Corporation’s outside auditors. All Employees are required to cooperate fully with any such audits and to provide truthful and accurate information.
Any waiver of this Code for any Employee may be made only by the Board or the Audit Committee and will be promptly disclosed to stockholders and others, as required by applicable law. The Corporation must disclose changes to and waivers of the Code in accordance with applicable law.
