Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Trio Petroleum Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 27, 2025 (the October 27^th Form 8-K”), effective as of August 20, 2025, the “Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Trio Petroleum Canada, Corp., an Alberta, Canada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Buyer”), and Capital Land Services Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the Province of Alberta (the “Seller”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the APA, the Buyer agreed to acquire certain assets and the assignment of certain leases and rights of Seller relating to Seller’s oil and gas business, including contracts, permits mineral leases and registrations for working interests in petroleum and natural gas and mineral rights located in the County of Vermilion of River (formerly known as the Municipal District of Wellington No. 481) (collectively, the “Assets”), free and clear of any liens other than certain Permitted Encumbrances (as such term is defined in the APA) for a total purchase price of (i) CD$150,000 in cash and (ii) the issuance to the Seller of restricted shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, having an aggregate value of CD$150,000 (the “Purchase Price”). For more information on the terms and conditions of the APA, see the October 27^th Form 8-K and a copy of the APA, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 thereto.

On November 3, 2025, a closing of the transactions contemplated under the APA was completed (the “Closing”). At the Closing, the Buyer acquired the Assets from the Seller, with certain wells associated therewith being acquired by the Buyer out of a receivership. The Company/Buyer, as a result of certain regulatory matters and in order to reduce the amount of security deposits required to license the applicable oil and gas wells in Alberta from the Alberta Energy Regulator (“AER”), and because the AER requires a licensee to maintain a defined presence in Alberta, arranged to have all applicable licenses transferred to Novacor Exploration Ltd. (“Novacor”), an experienced operator who the Company/Buyer has an existing commercial relationship, having previously acquired certain assets from Novacor, and Novacor utilizes the Seller as its AER agent. In order to compensate the Seller for its services as AER agent, the Company/Buyer granted the Seller a 1% gross overriding royalty with respect to the mineral rights, for as long as the Seller continues to provide services as AER agent.

In connection with the acquisition of the Assets, the Buyer paid the Seller CD$150,000, in cash, and the Company issued to the Seller 104,227 restricted shares of its common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

See the information on the sale of restricted shares of common stock of the Company in Item 2.01 above. The Company issued the shares of common stock to the Seller in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

On November 4, 2025, the Company issued a press release describing the closing of the transactions contemplated under the APA. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
