Business Description

NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PEDEVCO is an oil and gas company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas assets where the latest in modern drilling and completion techniques and technologies have yet to be applied. In particular, the Company focuses on legacy proven properties where there is a long production history, well defined geology and existing infrastructure that can be leveraged when applying modern field management technologies. The Company’s current properties are located in the Denver-Julesberg Basin (“ D-J Basin ”) in Colorado and Wyoming, the Powder River Basin (“ PRB ”) in Wyoming, and in the San Andres formation of the Permian Basin situated in West Texas and eastern New Mexico (the “ Permian Basin ”). The Company’s D-J Basin assets (the “D-J Basin Assets”) are located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado and Laramie County, Wyoming, are held through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PRH Holdings LLC (“ PRH ”) and North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC (“ NPOG ”), and are operated by the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“ Red Hawk ”), North Silo Resources, LLC (“ NSR ”), and Longs Peak Resources, LLC (“ LPR ”). The Company’s Powder River Basin assets (the “Powder River Basin Assets” or “PRB Assets”) are predominantly located in Laramie and Campbell Counties, Wyoming, are held through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Century Oil and Gas, LLC (“ Century ”), and operated by the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Century Oil and Gas Sub-Holdings, LLC (“COG”), Navigation Powder River, LLC (“ NPR ”), and Pine Haven Resources, LLC (“ Pine Haven ”). The Company’s Permian Basin assets (the “Permian Basin Assets”) are located in Chaves and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, are held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“ PEDCO ”), and are operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ridgeway Arizona Oil Corp. (“ RAZO ”). On October 31, 2025, the Company completed the transactions (the “Mergers”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 31, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company; NP Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”); COG Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub,” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”); North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC (NPOG); COG (together with NPOG, the “Acquired Companies”); and, solely for purposes of specified provisions therein, North Peak Oil & Gas Holdings, LLC (“North Peak”). The Acquired Companies own substantial oil-weighted producing assets and significant leasehold interests in the D-J Basin and PRB. The Company believes that horizontal development and exploitation of conventional assets in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the D-J Basin, the PRB, and the Permian Basin represent among the most economic oil and natural gas plays in the United States (“U.S.”). Moving forward, the Company plans to optimize its existing assets and opportunistically seek additional acreage proximate to its currently held core acreage, as well as other attractive onshore U.S. oil and gas assets that fit the Company’s acquisition criteria, that Company management believes can be developed using its technical and operating expertise and be accretive to shareholder value.
