Item 5.03 Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Change in Fiscal Year. As previously announced, on May 21, 2026, Trio Petroleum Corp (the “Company”) held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten, with the final ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). On August 12, 2026, the Board approved a one-for-nine (1:9) reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split” ). The Company intends to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment” ) on August 28, 2026 to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 28, 2026, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on August 31, 2026. When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every nine (9) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, (i) a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, to the extent that the exercise price of such warrants is not based solely on the market price of the common stock at the time of exercise, (ii) a proportionate adjustment will be made to any fixed conversion prices for other convertible securities of the Company and (iii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will also be reduced proportionately. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares of common stock not evenly divisible by the applicable Reverse Stock Split ratio will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of the common stock as reported on the NYSE American on the effective date of such Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American LLC under the symbol “TPET.” The new CUSIP number for common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 89669L306. VStock Transfer, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, will also act as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. For more information about the Reverse Stock Split, see the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed and accepted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2026, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the form of Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
