What Happened

• Vivakor, Inc. filed an 8-K (June 18, 2026) reporting that holders of previously issued convertible promissory notes converted portions of those notes into common stock in mid‑June 2026.

In total, the company issued 2,444,447 shares pursuant to these conversions.
• The filings also disclose Regulation FD press releases: on June 17, 2026 the company announced a one‑year Bakken crude oil transaction (Exhibit 99.1) and related releases highlighting strategic U.S. midstream infrastructure value; an additional press release on June 18, 2026 announced a recurring crude oil transaction.

Why It Matters

• These conversions reduce outstanding convertible debt but increase the company’s share count by 2.44 million shares, which can dilute existing shareholders’ ownership percentages.
• The press releases signaling a one‑year Bakken crude oil transaction and recurring crude oil activity are operational updates that could affect future revenue or cash flow; investors should read the attached press releases for transaction specifics.
• Investors should monitor Vivakor’s subsequent filings for updated capitalization tables, full terms of any commercial arrangements, and the company’s disclosure on how these transactions affect its financial position.
