TRILLION ENERGY PROVIDES UPDATE ON NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Vancouver, B.C., May 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trillion Energy International Inc. (“Trillion” or the “Company“) (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) (Frankfurt: Z62) wishes to provide an update to its previously announced non-brokered private placement of up to 15,000,000. The Company is upsizing the private place to 20,000,000 units of Trillion (the “Units“) at a price of $0.09 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to a maximum of $1,800,000 (the “Offering“), with each Unit comprised of one common share of the Company (“Common Share“) and one share purchase warrant (“Warrant“), each Warrant exercisable at a price of $0.18 per share for a period of two years from issuance (please see the Company’s news release dated May 23, 2024 for further details). Except for the following additional disclosure, the Company plans to proceed with the Offering as previously announced.

The Warrants will include an acceleration provision whereby if the Company’s Common Shares trade at a price equal to or greater than $0.35 for a period of seven (7) consecutive trading days, Trillion may accelerate the expiry of the Warrants.

Trillion may pay a cash finder’s fee to qualified non-related parties of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and issue a number of broker warrants (“Broker Warrants“) that is up to 7% of the number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to one (1) Common Share and is exercisable at a price of $0.09 per share for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance.

The Company previously announced that the Units are being offered pursuant to available prospectus exemptions, including sales to accredited investors. The Company will also make the Offering available to existing shareholders of the Company pursuant to British Columbia Instrument 45-534 – Exemption from Prospectus Requirement for Certain Trades to Existing Security Holders and similar instruments, orders and rules in Canada (the “Existing Shareholder Exemption“) and certain non-accredited subscribers pursuant to British Columbia Instrument 45-536 – Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain distributions through an investment dealer and similar instruments, orders and rules in Canada (the “Investment Dealer Exemption“). In accordance with the requirements of the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company confirms there is no material fact or material change related to the Company which has not been generally disclosed.

Pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption, the Offering will be further made available to existing shareholders of the Company who, as of the close of business on May 23, 2024, held common shares of the Company (and who continue to hold such common shares as of the closing date). The Existing Shareholder Exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of $15,000 in a 12-month period unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment and, if the shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in the jurisdiction. If the Company receives subscriptions from investors relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption exceeding the maximum amount of the Offering, the Company intends to adjust the subscriptions received on a pro rata basis.

Trillion intends to use the gross proceeds raised from the Offering in the following order: to pay the costs and cash commissions of the Offering of up to $100,000, pay semi-annual interest on outstanding debentures for $900,000, pay for investor awareness programs for approximately $250,000 and the remainder to working capital, save and accept settling certain debts of the Company for approximately $450,000.

Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the CSE. The securities issued will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of the closing of the Offering.

Closing is expected to occur on or about May 29, 2024 or such other dates as the Company may determine, and may be followed by additional closings until the Offering is fully subscribed.
