Business Overview

TPET is a California-based oil and gas exploration and development company headquartered in Malibu, California, with its principal executive offices located at 23823 Malibu Road, Suite 304 Malibu, CA 90265, and with operations in Monterey County, California, and Uintah County, Utah. The Company was incorporated on July 19, 2021, under the laws of Delaware to acquire, fund, and operate oil and gas exploration, development and production projects, initially focusing on one major asset in California, the South Salinas Project (“South Salinas Project”).

We have had revenue-generating operations since the McCool Ranch Oil Field was restarted on February 22, 2024, and as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, we recorded approximately $200,000 in net revenues from our McCool Ranch Oil Field.

TPET was formed to initially acquire from Trio Petroleum LLC (“Trio LLC”) an approximate 82.75% working interest, which was subsequently increased to an approximate 85.775% working interest, in the large, approximately 9,300-acre South Salinas Project that is located in Monterey County, California, and subsequently partner with certain members of Trio LLC’s management team to develop and operate those assets. TPET holds an approximate 68.62% interest after the application of royalties (“net revenue interest”) in the South Salinas Project. Trio LLC holds an approximate 3.8% working interest in the South Salinas Project. TPET and Trio LLC are separate and distinct companies.

California is a significant part of TPET’s geographic focus and we are earning a 22% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field (the “McCool Ranch Oil Field”, “McCool Ranch Field” or “McCool Ranch”) in Monterey County, California. TPET’s interests extend beyond California, however, and we recently acquired an interest in the Asphalt Ridge Project in Uintah County, Utah, and an interest in Novacor Exploration Ltd.’s TWP48 Assets in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. We may acquire additional assets outside of California and Utah.

Trio LLC is a licensed Operator in California and currently operates the South Salinas Project and the McCool Ranch Oil Field on behalf of TPET and other working interest owners. Trio LLC operates these assets pursuant to joint operating agreements (“JOAs”) between and among Trio LLC and the non-operating, third-party, working interest owners. The non-operating parties have agreed under the JOAs to have the Operator explore and develop these assets for the production of oil and gas as provided thereunder. Trio LLC, as Operator, generally conducts and has significant control of operations, subject to the limitations and constraints of the JOAs, and acts in the capacity of an independent contractor. Operator is obligated to conduct its activities under the JOAs as a reasonable prudent operator, in good workmanlike manner, with due diligence and dispatch, in accordance with good oilfield practices, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, we generated $213,204 of revenues, reported a net loss of $9,626,797 and net cash used in operating activities of $3,840,744. For the year ended October 31, 2023, we generated no revenues, reported a net loss of $6,544,426 and net cash used in operating activities of $4,036,834. As of October 31, 2023 and 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $10,446,882 and $20,073,679 respectively. There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our accumulated deficit and no source of revenue sufficient to cover our cost of operation as well as our dependence on private equity and financings. See “Risk Factors-Risks Relating to Our Business-We have a history of operating losses, our management has concluded that factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our auditor has included an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its audit report for the years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023”, found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2024.

Business Developments

Changes to Company Management

Changes were made in June 2024, to our management team including the following: (1) Robin Ross, one of the original founders of the Company, became our new Chairman and a Director; (2) Stanford Eschner, our former Executive Chairman, became our Vice Chairman, and; (3) Frank Ingriselli stepped down from his position as Vice Chairman and also from his position as a member of the Board of Directors. Additionally, in July 2024, Michael Peterson resigned as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and Robin Ross became our new CEO as of that date. Further, effective as of October 11, 2024, James H. Blake was added as an additional Class II member of the Board of Directors.

Effective as of January 2, 2025, Terence B. Eschner’s position as President of the Company was terminated and Steven Rowlee’s position as Chief Operating Officer was also terminated.

Changes to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 6, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as a result of Borgers no longer being able to audit the Company’s financial statements, pursuant to an order by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Borders (the “SEC Order”). Effective May 8, 2024, the Company retained Bush & Associates CPA LLC (“Bush & Associates”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. Also, pursuant to the requirements of the SEC Order, Bush & Associates re-audited the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, which financial statements were filed with Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on June 13, 2024.

South Salinas Project

Efforts to obtain from Monterey County conditional use permits and a full field development permit for the South Salinas Project are progressing. Efforts to obtain from the California Geologic Energy Management Division (“CalGEM”) and from the California Water Boards a permit for a water disposal project at the South Salinas Project are also progressing. In the meantime, the Company recently determined that existing permits allow production testing to continue at the HV-3A discovery well at Presidents Field and, consequently, testing operations were restarted at this well on March 22, 2024. Oil production from this well has occurred with a generally favorable oil-water ratio and the Company has idled operations currently pending an assessment of the viability of increasing the well’s gross production rate, for example by adding up to 650 feet of additional perforations in the oil zone and/or acidizing the well for borehole cleanup. First oil sales from the HV-3A well occurred in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

McCool Ranch Oil Field

On October 16, 2023, TPET entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Trio LLC (the “McCool Ranch Purchase Agreement”) pertaining to the McCool Ranch Oil Field. Pursuant to this agreement, effective October 1, 2023, we .are earning a 22% working interest in and to certain oil and gas assets at the McCool Ranch Field, which is located in Monterey, County, California, just seven miles from our flagship South Salinas Project. The assets are situated in what is known as the “Hangman Hollow Area” of the McCool Ranch Field. The acquired property is a relatively new oil field (discovered in 2011) developed with six oil wells, one water-disposal well, steam generator, boiler, three 5,000 barrel tanks, 250 barrel test tank, water softener, two freshwater tanks, two soft water tanks, in-field steam pipelines, oil pipelines and other facilities. The property is fully and properly permitted for oil and gas production, cyclic-steam injection and water disposal. We are acquiring the working interest at McCool Ranch through primarily work commitment expenditures that are being allocated to restart production at the field and establish cash flow for us, with upside potential given the numerous undrilled infill and development well locations. Oil production was restarted on February 22, 2024.

McCool Ranch operations have been successfully restarted, including the restarting of oil production at the HH-1, 35X and 58X wells. The HH-1 well has a short horizontal completion in the Lombardi Oil Sand, whereas the 35X and 58X wells are both vertical wells with similar oil columns in the Lombardi Oil Sand and with similar subsurface borehole completions. The HH-1 well at McCool Ranch upon restart was initially producing about 47 barrels of oil per day. The HH-1 and 35X wells collectively has been producing about 10 to 15 bopd. The 58X well is temporarily idle. Oil production at the HH-1 and 35X wells has been “cold” (i.e., without steam). Both wells have been temporarily idled pending further assessment to place on steam during the first half of 2025.

The aforementioned initial three wells at McCool Ranch were each restarted and produced “cold” (i.e. without steam injection), which allows for lower operating costs, with expectation that each would be produced cold as long as profitable. The Company is assessing the transition of each well from cold to cyclic-steam production, also known as “huff and puff,” which, if cost effective, is expected to significantly increase production. The wells at McCool Ranch historically have responded favorably when cyclic-steam operations have been applied.

The Company is assessing the viability of restarting the last two wells in the restart program, the HH-3 and HH-4 wells, in the first half of 2025. The HH-3 and HH-4 wells will have horizontal completions similar to but longer than that of the HH-1 well. All water produced from these wells will be disposed in the on-site water disposal well.

The HH-1 well was initially produced cold for about 380 days in 2012-2013, during which time peak production was about 156 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”), average production was about 35 BOPD and cumulative production was about 13,147 barrels of oil (“BO”). The 58X well was initially produced cold for about 230 days in 2011-2013, during which time peak production was about 41 BOPD, average production was about 13 BOPD and cumulative production was about 2,918 BO.

KLS Petroleum Consulting LLC (“KLSP”), a third-party, independent engineering firm, recommends that McCool Ranch be developed with horizontal wells, each landed in the Lombardi Oil Sand with a 1,000-foot lateral. Management estimates that TPET’s property can probably accommodate approximately 22 additional such horizontal wells. TPET expects to add the reserve value of the McCool Ranch Field to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production that was restarted on February 22, 2024.

Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement

On November 10, 2023, TPET entered into a Leasehold Acquisition and Development Option Agreement (the “Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement”) with Heavy Sweet Oil LLC (“HSO”). Pursuant to the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement, the Company acquired an option to purchase up to a 20% working interest in certain leases at a long-recognized, major oil accumulation in northeastern Utah, in Uintah County, southwest of the city of Vernal, totaling 960 acres. HSO holds the right to such leases below 500 feet depth from surface and the Company acquired the option to participate in HSO’s initial 960 acre drilling and production program (the “HSO Program”) on such leases (the “Asphalt Ridge Leases”). TPET also holds the right of first refusal to participate with up to 20% working interest on the greater approximate 30,000 acre leasehold at terms offered to other third-parties. On December 29, 2023, the Company and HSO entered into an Amendment to Leasehold Acquisition and Development Agreement (the “Amendment to the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and HSO amended the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement to provide that, within three (3) business days of the effective date of the Amendment to the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement, the Company would fund $200,000 of the $2,000,000 total purchase price in advance of HSO satisfying the closing conditions set forth in the Asphalt Ridge Option Agreement, in exchange for the Company receiving an immediate 2% interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases, which advanced funds would be used solely for the building of roads and related infrastructure in furtherance of the development plan. In January 2024, the Company funded an additional $25,000 resulting in a 2.25% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases.

The Asphalt Ridge Project, according to J. Wallace Gwynn of Energy News, is estimated to be the largest measured tar sand resource in the United States, and is unique given its low wax and negligible sulfur content, which is expected to make the oil produced very desirable for many industries, including shipping.

Asphalt Ridge is a prominent, northwest-southeast trending topographic feature (i.e., a dipping slope called a hog’s back or cuesta) that crops-out along the northeast flank of the Uintah Basin. The outcrop is comprised largely of Tertiary and Cretaceous age sandstones that are locally highly-saturated with heavy oil and/or tar. Deposits and reserves located in the Uintah Basin are described in a report published in October 1985 by the United States Department of Energy’s Laramie Energy Technology Center (the “LETC”) titled In Situ Recovery of Oil from Utah Tar Sand: A Summary of Tar Sand Research at the Laramie Energy Technology Center, by L.C. Marchant and J.D. Westhoff (the “LETC Report”), covering work done by the LETC from 1971 to 1982, which was concentrated on major U.S. tar and sand deposits found in Utah. In the LETC Report, it provides that the location of individual deposits and extent of reserves have been identified by H.R. Ritzma, who was formerly with the Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey, to contain an estimated 20 billion barrels of bitumen (oil) in the Utah tar sands, an estimated 10.8 billion barrels of which are contained in the Uintah Basin deposits, principally Asphalt Ridge (the site of the Asphalt Ridge Development Project), Hill Creek, Sunnyside and P.R. Spring.

The area has been underdeveloped for decades due, in large part, to lease ownership issues and the definition of heavy oil falling under mining regulations in the State of Utah. These factors created conflict between surface rights and subsurface mineral rights and were obstacles to developing the asset using proven advanced cyclic-steam production techniques. Necessary permits have now been secured that should allow drilling to commence by our operating partner. HSO hopes to continue to work with the State of Utah to supplement prior receipt of permits with other state incentives, including working with the State on an arrangement requiring only an 8% state royalty in connection with this project.

An early development phase contemplates the development of 240 acres with an estimated 119 wells in the Northwest Asphalt Ridge Area. The plan is to develop the 240 acres using advanced cyclic-steam production techniques, including initial CO2 injection. This phase contemplates seventeen 7-spot hexagonal well patterns on 2 ½ acre spacing (a 7-spot has a central steam/CO2 injection well that is surrounded by six producing oil wells). Upgrades have been made to existing roads and well pads as part of this early development phase.

Two oil-saturated Cretaceous sandstones are targeted for development at Asphalt Ridge: the Rimrock Sandstone and the underlying Asphalt Ridge Sandstone. TPET expects to add the reserve value, if any, of the Asphalt Ridge Project to the Company’s reserve report after a brief period of observation and review of the oil development operations that commenced in the second quarter of 2024.

During the quarterly period ended April 30, 2024, we announced the commencement of drilling activities at Asphalt Ridge. The first well, HSO 8-4 (API# 4304757202), was spud on May 10, 2024 and drilled to a total depth of 1,020 feet. The well found 100 feet of Rimrock Sandstone tar-sand pay zone with good oil saturation and good porosity. Thirty feet of the Rimrock was cored. A small, representative piece of Rimrock core was placed in water and brought to boiling point, and within a few minutes the sand disaggregated and the bitumen became liquid, mobile-oil, floating on top of the water - this simple laboratory test indicates that the bitumen becomes mobile-oil at relatively low temperatures and supports our contention that oil extraction using subsurface thermal-recovery methods may be very successful. A second well, the HSO 2-4 (API# 430475201), was spud on May 19, 2024 and drilled to a total depth of 1,390 feet. The well drilled through both the Rimrock tar-sand, which had a thickness of 135 feet, and the Asphalt Ridge tar-sand, which had a thickness of 59 feet. Oil production has commenced using downhole heaters, whereas the operator plans to transition to production using advanced cyclic-steam and steam-drive methods.

The Company has until May 10, 2025, to pay HSO an additional $1,775,000 to exercise an option for the remaining 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres. Assuming that the Company raises sufficient funds in this offering, it may use up to $1,775,000 of the net proceeds received in exercising this option. If this option is not exercised on or before the deadline or any extension thereof, the option will expire and the Company will forfeit any further right to acquire this additional 17.75% working interest in the initial 960 acres.

Carbon Capture and Storage Project as part of Company’s South Salinas Project

TPET is committed to attempting to reduce its own carbon footprint and, where possible, that of others. For this reason, TPET is taking initial steps to launch a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project as part of the South Salinas Project. The South Salinas Project covers a vast area and is uniquely situated at a deep depocenter where there are thick geologic zones (e.g., Vaqueros Sand, up to approximately 500’ thick), about two miles deep, which could potentially accommodate and permanently store vast volumes of CO2. Four existing deep wells in the South Salinas Project (i.e., the HV 1-35, BM 2-2, BM 1-2-RD1 and HV 3-6 wells) are excellent candidates for use as CO2 injection wells. A CCS project in the future may help reduce TPET’s carbon footprint by sequestering and permanently storing CO2 deep underground at one or more deep wells, away from drinking water sources. Furthermore, three of the aforementioned deep wells are directly located on three idle oil and gas pipelines that could be used to import CO2 to the Company’s CCS Project. TPET has opened discussions with third parties who wish to reduce their own greenhouse gas emissions and who may be interested in participating in our CCS project. TPET believes it feasible to develop the major oil and gas resources of the South Salinas Project and to concurrently establish a substantial CCS project and potentially a CO2 storage hub and/or Direct Air Capture (DAC) hub.

Market Opportunity

We believe that we can establish oil and gas operations that have the potential to achieve profitability in California and Utah, where we currently have projects, and elsewhere.

The oil and gas industry is operationally challenging in California, where we have the South Salinas and McCool Ranch assets, due primarily to regulatory issues and to efforts to facilitate an energy transition away from fossil fuels, but California nevertheless is a major consumer of petroleum products, and TPET believes that it has the capacity to continue to operate in California and that the market for oil and gas in California will remain strong for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, TPET is attempting to launch a Carbon Capture and Storage Project as part of the South Salinas Project, consistent with efforts in California to reduce carbon footprint. The Company hopes and expects TPET’s commitment to reduce carbon footprint through a Carbon Capture and Storage Project to be viewed favorably by California regulatory bodies, perhaps helping to facilitate operations at the South Salinas Project and elsewhere.

The oil and gas industry currently appears operationally favorable in Utah, where we have the Asphalt Ridge asset. TPET believes that the overall operating environment and the market for oil and gas in Utah should remain favorable for the foreseeable future.

TPET’s operations may help meet the USA’s demanding oil and gas needs that are expected to remain strong for the foreseeable future, while supporting the country’s goal of energy independence, and supporting local and state economies with tax revenue and jobs. TPET’s Carbon Capture and Storage Project may help reduce the Company’s and California’s carbon footprint.

Estimated undeveloped reserves and cash flow

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated undeveloped reserves and cash flow at the South Salinas Project, as of April 30, 2024. The Company expects to have estimates of reserves and cash flow for the McCool Ranch Field and for the Asphalt Ridge Project, after further observations of initial operations at those properties, which is expected by the second calendar quarter of 2025.

Table 1: Estimated Undeveloped Reserves and Cash Flow

Reasonable Expectations of Reserve Analyses

This prospectus provides a summary of risks and detailed discussions of risks relating to our business and risks relating to this offering. The Company recognizes these risks as being real and substantial.

Nevertheless, the Company has reasonable expectations that the Company’s South Salinas Project should prove to be economically viable assets, that the Company should have adequate funding to develop these assets, that there should exist the legal right to develop these assets, and that the Company should be able to establish long-term production and to deliver oil and natural gas to markets, recognizing as discussed elsewhere hereunder that there are technical risks and that there may be project delays and/or obstacles related to obtaining necessary permits from regulatory agencies and/or related to other matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that any of the foregoing expectations will be realized. Furthermore and more specifically, the Company has a reasonable expectation that the primary governmental regulatory agencies that are currently and/or that will be involved in the permitting processes, which agencies will primarily be CalGEM, State Water Boards and Monterey County, should determine to approve the Company’s applications for permits for various reasons that are discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, although there can be no assurance of our obtaining any of such approvals.

Additionally, TPET does not yet have a final reserve report for the McCool Ranch Oil Field, but plans to add the reserve value of the McCool Ranch Field to the Company’s reserve report after a brief period of observation and review of the oil production that was restarted on February 22, 2024. Nevertheless, TPET has reasonable expectations that the McCool Ranch Oil Field should prove to have economic reserves based, in part, on an in-progress evaluation by KLS Petroleum Consulting LLC (“KLSP”), a third-party, independent engineering firm, and based on various historical analyses by other independent third-party reservoir engineers, and based also on the experience of the field operator Trio LLC. TPET has reasonable expectation that the McCool Ranch Oil Field should prove to have economic reserves, that the Company should have adequate funding to develop the reserves, and that there should exist the legal right to develop the Company’s reserves at McCool Ranch, including the rights to full-field development and to long-term production, rights to cyclic-steam operations and water disposal and similar matters, recognizing as discussed elsewhere hereunder that there are technical risks and that there may be project delays and/or obstacles related to obtaining necessary permits from regulatory agencies and/or related to other matters such as variable production costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that any of the foregoing expectations will be realized. Furthermore and more specifically, the Company has a reasonable expectation that the primary governmental regulatory agencies that are currently and/or that will be involved in the permitting processes, which agencies will primarily be CalGEM, State Water Boards and Monterey County, should determine to approve the Company’s applications for permits for various reasons that are discussed elsewhere in this prospectus.

An initial two wells were drilled at our Asphalt Ridge Project in the second calendar quarter of 2024, and both wells were completed across the encountered tar sands and testing operations have commenced at both wells. TPET has not yet assigned reserves to the Asphalt Ridge Project. However, TPET has reasonable expectations that reserves may be assigned to the Asphalt Ridge Project after a brief period of observation and review of the oil development operations that are in progress at the aforementioned initial two wells, that the Company should have adequate funding to develop the reserves, and that there should exist the legal right to develop the Company’s reserves in the Asphalt Ridge Project, including the rights to full-field development and to long-term production, recognizing as discussed elsewhere hereunder that there are technical risks and that there may be project delays and/or obstacles related to obtaining necessary permits from regulatory agencies and/or related to other matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no assurance that any of the foregoing expectations will be realized, including, without limitation, the ability to raise sufficient funds to exercise the option to acquire the additional 17.75% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Leases on or before the expiration date of the option on May 10, 2025, or on or before any extension thereof. TPET expects to add the reserve value, if any, of the Asphalt Ridge Project to the Company’s reserve report after a brief period of observation and review of the oil development operations that commenced in the second calendar quarter of 2024.

For additional information on risks and detailed discussions of risks relating to our business see “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Our Business - We may face delays and/or obstacles in project development due to difficulties in obtaining necessary permits from federal, state, county and/or local agencies, which may materially affect our business;” “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Our Business - We face substantial uncertainties in estimating the characteristics of our assets, so you should not place undue reliance on any of our measures;” “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Our Business - The drilling of wells is speculative, often involving significant costs that may be more than our estimates, and drilling may not result in any discoveries or additions to our future production or future reserves, or it may result in disproving or diminishing our current reserves.; “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Our Business - Seismic studies do not guarantee that oil or gas is present or, if present, will produce in economic quantities; and “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to Our Business - We are subject to numerous risks inherent to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas,”, found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended October 31, 2024.

Business Strategies

Our primary business strategies and objectives currently are to develop our existing assets at the South Salinas Project, McCool Ranch Oil Field, Asphalt Ridge Project, and to acquire projects that generate immediate cash flow such as our Novacor Assets, or offer transformative growth potential with strategic investment. TPET’s current strategy and focus at the South Salinas Project is multifaceted and includes restarting oil and gas production at the HV-3A discovery well at Presidents Field, securing approval from CalGEM and WaterBoards of a proposed short-term water-disposal program that should significantly reduce lease operating costs, evaluating options for drilling the HV-2 and HV-4 wells, evaluating options for accelerating the further testing of Humpback Field and particularly the Vaqueros Sand and the Monterey Formation Blue-Zone reservoir objectives, launching a Carbon Capture and Storage Project, pursuing permits for full field development, and similar matters. Efforts to obtain from Monterey County conditional use permits and a full field development permit for the South Salinas Project are progressing. Efforts to obtain from the California Geologic Energy Management Division (“CalGEM”) and from the California Water Boards a permit for a water disposal project at the South Salinas Project are also progressing. In the meantime, the Company recently determined that existing permits allow production testing to continue at the HV-3A discovery well at Presidents Field and, consequently, testing operations were restarted at this well on March 22, 2024. Oil production from this well has occurred and the Company has idled operations currently pending an assessment of the viability of increasing the well’s gross production rate, for example by adding up to 650 feet of additional perforations in the oil zone and/or acidizing the well for borehole cleanup. First oil sales from the HV-3A well occurred in the third calendar quarter of 2024.

TPET’s current strategy and focus at McCool Ranch is to determine the most economic method to increase and optimize production at the restarted HH-1, 58X and 35X wells, to restart the HH-3 and HH-4 wells, and subsequently to commence permitting and drilling new wells in the field. KLS Petroleum Consulting LLC (“KLSP”), a third-party, independent engineering firm, recommends that McCool Ranch be developed with horizontal wells, each landed in the Lombardi Oil Sand with a 1,000-foot lateral. Management estimates that TPET’s property can probably accommodate approximately 22 additional such horizontal wells. TPET expects to add the reserve value of the McCool Ranch Field to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production that was restarted on February 22, 2024.

TPET’s current strategy and focus at the Asphalt Ridge asset is to monitor the results of the new 2-4 and 8-4 wells and additional planned wells, and to exercise the option to secure a full 20% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Project; provided, however, that if we do not raise sufficient funds prior to the expiration date of May 10, 2025, or any extension thereof, it is unlikely that we will be able to pay the $1,775,000 required for exercise of the option for the remaining 17.75% working interest in the Asphalt Ridge Project and we would continue to own our current 2.25% working interest. We believe this asset has potential to produce significant future revenues for the Company. TPET expects to add the reserve value, if any, of the Asphalt Ridge Project to the Company’s reserve report after a further period of observation and review of the oil production at the new wells, which is expected by the end of the second calendar quarter of 2025.

TPET’s primary strategies and objectives are focused on growing the Company into a highly profitable, independent oil and gas company.

Trio LLC’s Services as an Operator in California

Trio LLC is a licensed Operator in California and currently operates the South Salinas Project and the McCool Ranch Oil Field on behalf of TPET and other working interest owners. Trio LLC operates these assets pursuant to joint operating agreements (“JOAs”) between and among Trio LLC and the non-operating, third-party, working interest owners. The non-operating parties have agreed under the JOAs to have the Operator explore and develop these assets for the production of oil and gas as provided thereunder. Trio LLC, as Operator, generally conducts and has significant control of operations, subject to the limitations and constraints of the JOAs, and acts in the capacity of an independent contractor. Operator is obligated to conduct its activities under the JOAs as a reasonable prudent operator, in good workmanlike manner, with due diligence and dispatch, in accordance with good oilfield practices, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

TPET holds an approximate 85.775% working interest and Trio LLC an approximate 3.8% working interest in the South Salinas Project. TPET and Trio LLC each hold an approximate 21.918315% working interest in the McCool Ranch Oil Field. TPET and Trio LLC are separate and distinct companies.

Trio LLC has significant prior experience in oil and gas operations, exploration and production in California and an experienced management team. Some of the members of Trio LLC’s management team are also senior executives of the Company.

Our Growth Strategy

TPET’s goal is the building and growing of a substantial independent oil and gas company by developing and/or producing the South Salinas Project, McCool Ranch Oil Field and Asphalt Ridge Asset (as may be limited by our ability to exercise the option for the remaining 17.75% working interests in the Asphalt Ridge Leases), and by acquiring and developing other oil and gas assets. Since our initial public offering, we have added working interests in the McCool Ranch Oil Field and the Asphalt Ridge Project to our asset portfolio, growing from one project to three projects. Additionally, the Company is evaluating other oil and gas projects that are candidates for acquisition. Our primary business strategies and objectives currently are to develop our existing assets at the South Salinas Project, McCool Ranch Oil Field and Asphalt Ridge Project, and to acquire projects that generate immediate cash flow or offer transformative growth potential with strategic investment.

Competition

There are many large, medium, and small-sized oil and gas companies and third-parties that are our competitors. Many of these competitors have extensive operational histories, experienced oil and gas industry management, profitable operations, and significant reserves and funding resources. Our efforts to acquire additional oil/gas properties in California and elsewhere may be met with competition.

Government Regulation

We are subject to a number of federal, state, county and local laws, regulations and other requirements relating to oil and natural gas operations. The laws and regulations that affect the oil and natural gas industry are under constant review for amendment or expansion. Some of these laws, regulations and requirements result in challenges, delays and/or obstacles in obtaining permits, and some carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business, can affect and even obstruct our operations and, consequently, can affect our profitability. These burdens include regulations relating to transportation of oil and gas, drilling and production and other regulatory matters. See “Business - Government Regulation” beginning on page 10.

Certain Recent Developments

Consulting Agreement

On January 1, 2025, we engaged Redwood Empire Financial Corporation (“Redwood”), pursuant to a Consultant Agreement, dated as of such date (the “Redwood Consulting Agreement”), to provide investor communications and public relation services, on our behalf. As part of the compensation payable to Redwood, we issued it 20,000 shares of common stock (the “Redwood Shares”). We have agreed to include the Redwood shares in the Registration Statement to register the Redwood Shares for resale, on behalf of Redwood.

Formation of a Canadian Wholly-Owned Subsidiary

On March 28, 2025, we formed Trio Petroleum Canada, Corp., an Alberta, Canada corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Trio Canada”). Our Chief Executive Officer, Robin Ross, is also the Chief Executive Officer of Trio Canada and also serves as Secretary/Treasurer. Our Chief Financial Officer, Greg Overholtzer, is also the Chief Financial Officer of Trio Canada. Robin Ross also serves as the sole director of Trio Canada.

Novacor Acquisition

As of April 4, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Trio Petroleum Canada, Corp., an Alberta, Canada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Trio Canada”), and Novacor Exploration Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“Novacor”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the APA, Trio Canada agreed to acquire certain assets of Novacor relating its oil and gas business, including certain contracts, leases and permits for working interests in petroleum and natural gas and mineral rights located in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region in Canada (collectively, the “Novacor Assets”), free and clear of any liens other than certain specified liabilities of Novacor that are being assumed (collectively, the “Liabilities” and such acquisition of the Novacor Assets and assumption of the Liabilities together, the “Novacor Acquisition”) for a total purchase price of (i) US$650,000, in cash, US$65,000 of which was previously provided as a deposit to Novacor, and (ii) the issuance to Novacor of 526,536 shares of common stock of common stock (the “Novacor Shares”).

The APA provides for the Novacor Acquisition to be closed in two closings. The first closing of the Novacor Acquisition was consummated on April 8, 2025 (the “First Closing”). At the First Closing, title to certain of the Novacor Assets was delivered to Trio Canada and Trio Canada delivered to Novacor (i) US$260,000, in cash, reflecting the US$325,000 payable for those Assets, less the US$65,000 deposit previously paid by us to Novacor and (ii) the 526,536 shares of common stock. The APA further provides for the second closing of the Novacor Acquisition for the sale of the remaining Assets to take place, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable closing conditions provided in the APA, including delivery of the applicable deliverables, on the later of (i) May 15, 2025 and (ii) three business days following the date that Novacor has provided written notice to Trio Canada that the right of first refusal with respect the remaining Assets as described in Schedule of the APA has expired or been waived.

The APA contains a requirement that we register the shares issued to Novacor for resale within 21 days after the First Closing, or by April 29, 2025. TPET is registering the Novacor Shares for resale, on behalf of Novacor, in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, in order to satisfy such registration obligation.

Following the closings, (i) operating costs for the Novacor Assets will for a period of two (2) years, be held at the levels detailed in the auditor’s report over the eighteen (18) month period prior to the closings, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties (ii) after such two-year period, operating costs will remain competitive with other operators in the area; and (iii) Trio Canada may terminate the Novacor’s post-closings actions at any time on 30 days’ prior written notice to Novacor. After the closings, Novacor will act as the on-site operator of the Novacor Assets and perform all work and services as provided in the APA.

Loan to Trio Canada

As of April 4, 2025, we entered into a Loan and Note Purchase Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Trio Canada, made a loan (the “Subsidiary Loan”) to Trio Canada, in the amount of US$1,131,000 (the “Loan Amount”), and Trio Canada issued to us a three-year promissory note, with a maturity date of April 4, 2028, in the principal amount of US$1,131,000 (the “Subsidiary Note”) evidencing the Loan Amount. The outstanding principal amount of the Subsidiary Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, US$585,000 of the Loan Amount is required to be used to pay the remaining cash amount payable to Novacor, in connection with the Novacor Acquisition, and the remainder of the Loan Amount is to be used for ongoing operating costs of Trio Canada.

Convertible Notes Financing

On April 11, 2025, we issued an Unsecured Original Discount Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to an institutional investor (the “Convertible Note Investor”) in a principal amount of $321,176, having an original issue discount of $48,176, resulting in a funding amount of $273,000. After the payment of a commission of $15,015 to Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”) and the payment of $10,000 to reimburse the Convertible Note Investor for its legal fees, we received net proceeds of $247,985.

On April 17, 2025, we issued an amended and restated Unsecured Original Discount Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amended and Restated Note”), in an aggregate principal amount, with the principal amount of the Note, of $712,941, having an aggregate original issue discount of $106,941, including the original issue discount of the Note, and resulting in an aggregate funding amount, with the Note, of $606,000. We received additional net proceeds of $333,000.

The Amended and Restated Note provides for both voluntary conversion by the Convertible Note Investor and a right for TPET to require conversion, subject to certain conditions into shares of common stock. The Amended and Restated Note also contains “piggyback” registration rights and the shares issuable upon conversion of the Amended and Restated Note are being registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in order to comply with such registration obligations.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an “emerging growth company” we may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

We may take advantage of these provisions until October 31, 2028, which is the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering (“IPO”). However, if any of the following events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, (i) our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion, (ii) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, or (iii) we become a “large accelerated filer,” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period. We will be deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” at such time that we (a) have an aggregate worldwide market value of common equity securities held by non-affiliates of $700.0 million or more as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (b) have been required to file annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act for a period of at least 12 months and (c) have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and our periodic reports and proxy statements.

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (the “Registration Statement”) and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an “emerging growth company” may continue to be available to us as a “smaller reporting company,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to SOX and reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” until we have $250 million or more in public float (based on our common stock) measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or, in the event we have no public float (based on our common stock) or a public float (based on our common stock) that is less than $700 million, annual revenues of $100 million or more during the most recently completed fiscal year.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period.

Preferred Stock

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation our board of directors is authorized to direct us to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third-party to acquire, or could discourage a third-party from seeking to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of Delaware law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or in our best interests, including transactions that provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability of our board of directors, without action by our stockholders, to issue up to shares of undesignated preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by our board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to effect a change in control of our company. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.

Stockholder Meetings. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals to be brought before a stockholder meeting and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our board of directors of a committee of our board of directors.

Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be taken by written consent.

Staggered Board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The directors in each class will serve a three-year term, with one class being elected each year by our stockholders. For more information on our classified board, see “Management-Classified Board of Directors.” This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

Removal of Directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no member of our board of directors may be removed from office by our stockholders except for cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Stockholders Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors will be able to elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose.

Choice of Forum. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the “DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, (4) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or (5) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, this exclusive form provision will not apply to claims which are vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or for which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction. For instance, the exclusive forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would not apply to actions arising under federal securities laws, including suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. We note, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any person or entity holding, purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision. It is possible that a court of law could rule that the choice of forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable if it is challenged in a proceeding or otherwise.

Amendment of Charter Provisions. The amendment of any of the above provisions, except for the provision making it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock and the provision prohibiting cumulative voting, would require approval by holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon.

The provisions of Delaware law, and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits our directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, which prohibits our amended and restated certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:

If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended.

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and that we shall have the power to indemnify our employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our amended and restated bylaws will also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless of whether we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

We also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our amended and restated bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such persons in any action or proceeding arising out of this person’s services as a director or executive officer or at our request. We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.

The above description of the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which has been filed in our reports filed with the SEC.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

Listing

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the Securities by this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the Securities covered by this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders may each sell all or a portion of the Securities beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Securities are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will each be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions in connection with the Securities held by such Selling Stockholders. The Securities may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions.

The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of Securities or interests therein:

The Selling Stockholders may each, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities owned and, if any Selling Stockholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Securities, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of the Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the Securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of Securities, or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Securities in the course of hedging the positions it assumes. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Securities short and deliver the Securities to close out any such short positions, or loan or pledge the Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these Securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Securities offered by this prospectus, which Securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the Selling Stockholders effect certain transactions by selling Securities to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from such Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the Securities for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown in compliance with applicable FINRA rules.

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Securities offered will be the purchase price of the Securities less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Securities to be made directly or through agents. The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus, provided that each meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.

The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Securities, or interests therein, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the Securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the Securities to be sold, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the purchase price and public offering price, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale, or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and the Selling Stockholder complies with such exemption’s requirements.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in a sale of the Securities registered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person.

All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus, and any supplement thereto, will be passed upon for us by Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, NY. The legality of the securities for any underwriters, dealers or agents will be passed upon by counsel as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The following table sets forth an estimate of the fees and expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by the Registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered. All the amounts shown are estimates, except for the SEC registration fee.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

In any placement agent agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of common stock being registered hereby, the placement agent will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act, against certain liabilities.
