Trillion Energy to sell Park Place Energy Turkiye
Debt Relief on Distressed Balance Sheet

Executive Summary
- Trillion Energy International Inc. entered into a definitive sale agreement to divest all shares of Park Place Energy Turkiye Ltd. (PPET).
- PPET holds the South Akcakoca Subbasin natural gas project and Cendere oil field licences in Turkey.
- The transaction transfers approximately US$20 million of PPET liabilities to the purchaser, removing these obligations from Trillion's balance sheet.
- Trillion retains a 7% Gross Overriding Royalty (GORR) on future production revenues from the disposed licences.
- The royalty is effective only after cumulative gross revenues post-closing exceed US$7.5 million.
- If Trillion disposes of the licences later, the royalty crystallizes requiring payment of 7% of the gross value to Trillion.
- This follows a March 31 announcement where management stated they were actively seeking buyers for this stake.
Material Impact
- Balance Sheet Improvement: The removal of US$20 million in legacy liabilities is material given the company's cash position of only ~US$597,000 as of September 2025. This significantly reduces immediate solvency risk associated with these specific assets.
- Strategic Focus: The sale allows management to streamline operations and focus on core exploration opportunities, specifically the M47 block where they have an earn-in agreement.
- Royalty Upside: Retaining a 7% GORR preserves long-term upside without further capital outlay, though it is contingent on production exceeding US$7.5 million in cumulative revenue.
- Execution of Known Strategy: While the intent to sell was announced in March (Routine - Negative context due to cancelled farm-ins), the definitive terms and liability transfer are new information that materially alters the financial risk profile compared to the prior "seeking buyers" status.
- Remaining Capital Needs: The sale does not provide immediate cash proceeds; it removes debt. The company still faces a CAD$10 million equity raise deadline by September 30, 2026, to avoid debenture acceleration.
