Royale Energy Resumes Trading and Files Delinquent Reports

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 01, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Royale Energy, Inc., a U.S.-based independent oil and natural gas company, has resumed trading on the OTC Pink market and filed its previously delinquent periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), marking a significant step in restoring its compliance status.

According to a press release, Royale Energy’s Executive Chairman, Jonathan Gregory, expressed satisfaction with the company’s progress. "We are pleased to have completed this important step in restoring Royale's reporting status," Gregory said. "Management, the Board, and our advisors have worked diligently to complete the required filings, and we appreciate the efforts of our accounting and audit teams, including BDO, in helping us reach this milestone."

The resumption of trading on the OTC Pink market represents an essential step toward restoring normal market access for Royale’s shareholders and improving the company's visibility within the investment community. The next phase for Royale involves applying for quotation on the OTCQB® Venture Market, a move the company believes will further enhance its market visibility and attract broader investor interest.

"Qualification for OTCQB would represent another important step in improving market visibility, broadening access to investors, and positioning Royale for its longer-term capital markets objectives," said Gregory. "However, this qualification remains subject to OTC Markets Group's review and the company’s satisfaction of all applicable eligibility requirements."

Additionally, Royale’s Board of Directors is continuing its Strategic Review, which was previously announced. The review is focused on strengthening the company’s financial position, enhancing capital markets readiness, and evaluating strategic and capital markets alternatives designed to maximize shareholder value and position the company for future growth. Roth Capital Partners continues to serve as the company’s financial advisor in connection with the Strategic Review.

"Our focus is now on building upon the progress we have made," Gregory added. "With our SEC reporting current, trading restored, and the OTCQB application process underway, we believe Royale is better positioned to advance the broader Strategic Review. Together with Roth Capital Partners, we continue to evaluate alternatives that could strengthen the company, improve its capital markets position, and maximize value for our shareholders."

The company plans to provide an update on its current oil and natural gas operations within the next few weeks, offering shareholders additional information about the company’s current activities.

Royale Energy, Inc. is engaged in the acquisition, development, and production of oil and natural gas properties throughout the United States. The company seeks to enhance shareholder value through disciplined capital management, operational efficiency, and strategic asset development.

While the company has made significant strides in its reporting and strategic initiatives, it remains cautious about the outcomes. Forward-looking statements in the press release, including those related to the OTCQB application, the Strategic Review, and potential operational updates, come with inherent risks and uncertainties. Royale Energy undertakes no obligation to update these statements except as required by law.
