Royale Energy, Inc. (“Royale”) recently learned that on April 24, 2019, a press release titled “Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc. Finalizes Matrix Merger” was issued by an unknown third party. Neither Royale nor Matrix is engaged in merger discussions with Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc. (“TGRO”). Matrix Oil Management Corporation remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royale.
Royale is aware that, also on April 24, 2019, TGRO filed a Form 8-K with the SEC in which TGRO denied responsibility for issuance of the press release or knowledge of the events supposedly reported therein.
