Bakersfield, CA, March 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) ("TPET", "Trio" or the "Company"), a California-based oil and gas company, today announced that on February 26, 2024, it received a deficiency letter (the "Notice") from the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide"). Specifically, the Notice informed the Company that the NYSE American has determined that the shares of the Company's common stock have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time, and pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the Company's continued listing is predicated on it demonstrating sustained price improvement by no later than August 26, 2024.
The Company intends to begin the operations in the McCool field, which we expect to be in operation soon, and then monitor the price of its common stock and consider available options, including conducting a reverse stock split, if its common stock does not trade at a consistent level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance by August 26, 2024. The Company's receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company's business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
