***Reverse Stock Split***

As previously disclosed in <u>Item 5.07</u> of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by PEDEVCO Corp. (the "<u>Company,</u>" "<u>we,</u>" "<u>our,</u>" or "<u>us</u>") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") on November 3, 2025, on October 29, 2025, stockholders of the Company who collectively held more than two-thirds of the combined voting power of the total issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock, executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "<u>Written Consent</u>"), approving among other things, the grant of discretionary authority to the Company's Board of Directors (the "<u>Board</u>") to (A) approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Formation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, by a ratio of between one-for-ten to one-for-twenty, inclusive, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number to be determined by our Board or a duly authorized committee thereof in its discretion, at any time after approval of the amendment and prior to October 30, 2026, and (B) determine whether to arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by stockholder entitled thereto, to pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share of common stock as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or to entitle stockholder to receive from the Company's transfer agent, in lieu of any fractional share, the number of shares of common stock rounded up to the next whole number (the "<u>Stockholder Authority</u>").

The effectiveness of the Stockholder Authority was subject to the Company filing a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C, which was filed with the Commission on February 2, 2026 (the "<u>Information Statement</u>") and the mailing of such Information Statement to the Company's stockholders describing among other things, the majority stockholders' approval of the Stockholder Authority, which as described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on March 3, 2026, was mailed to the stockholders of the Company on February 6, 2026, in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), and as a result, the Stockholder Authority became effective on February 27, 2026, the 21st day following the mailing date of the Information Statement.

Following effectiveness of the Stockholder Authority, the Company's Board approved an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at a ratio of 1-for-20, and to pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share of common stock as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined (the "<u>Reverse Stock Split</u>"). The Reverse Stock Split is more fully described in the Company's Information Statement under "<u>The Reverse Stock Split Authority</u>".

On March 10, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation (the "<u>Certificate of Amendment</u>") with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas to effect the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 3.2</u> and is incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split will be effective on March 13, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time (the "<u>Effective Time</u>"). The shares of the Company's common stock are expected to begin trading on the NYSE American ("<u>NYSE</u>") on a post-split basis on March 13, 2026, with a new CUSIP number of 70532Y402. No change was made to the trading symbol for the Company's shares of common stock, "<u>PED</u>" in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

At the Effective Time, every twenty (20) shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be converted into one (1) share of issued and outstanding common stock, and the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock is expected to be reduced from approximately 266.0 million shares to approximately 13.3 million shares. The Company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company LLC ("<u>Equiniti</u>"), will serve as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will provide instructions to stockholders of record regarding the Reverse Stock Split, to the extent applicable.

Because the Certificate of Amendment will not reduce the number of authorized shares of our common stock, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be to increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance relative to the number of shares issued and outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split will not alter the par value of our common stock or modify any voting rights or other terms of our common stock.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will instead receive cash in lieu of such fractional share, based upon the closing sale price of the common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time as reported on the NYSE American.

Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of the Company's common stock ("<u>Old Certificates</u>") will thereafter represent the number of shares of common stock into which the shares represented by such certificate were combined as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, subject to the adjustment for fractional shares as described above. Unless otherwise requested by the stockholder, Equiniti will issue all post-split shares in paperless "<u>book-entry</u>" form and, unless otherwise requested by the stockholder, will hold such shares in an account established for the stockholder. All book-entry or other electronic positions representing issued and outstanding shares of our common stock will be automatically adjusted. Stockholders holding our common stock in "<u>street name</u>" will receive instructions from their brokers.

In addition, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our stock options and other equity awards (including shares reserved for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans) were proportionately adjusted by the applicable administrator, using the 1-for-20 ratio, and rounded down to the nearest whole share, effective as of the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Company's equity compensation plans. In addition, the exercise price for each outstanding stock option was increased in inverse proportion to the 1-for-20 split ratio such that, upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price payable by the optionee to the Company for the shares subject to the option will remain approximately the same as the aggregate exercise price prior to the Reverse Stock Split, subject to the terms of such securities.

Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of common stock will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split.

The above description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Reverse Stock Split is a summary of the material terms thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as <u>Exhibit 3.2</u> and is incorporated herein by reference.

***Reason for the Reverse Stock Split***

The primary goal of the Reverse Stock Split is to reduce the number of outstanding shares and proportionately increase the per-share trading price, resulting in a more streamlined capital structure following the Company's recently completed transformative merger with certain portfolio companies controlled by Juniper Capital Advisors, L.P. The Board believes this action may enhance the Company's capital markets profile, improve the clarity and consistency of per-share metrics, and better position the Company with a broader range of institutional investors, of which there can be no assurance.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

The information provided in <u>Item 5.03</u> is hereby incorporated by reference.

The Company has registration statements on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282046) and Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-227566, 333-192002, 333-201098, 333-207529, 333-215349, 333-222335, 333-233525, and 333-259248, 333-282037) on file with the Commission. Commission regulations permit the Company to incorporate by reference future filings made with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the termination of the offerings covered by registration statements filed on Form S-3, or Form S-8. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of the prospectus included within each of those registration statements. Accordingly, the information contained in this <u>Item 8.01</u> of this Current Report on Form 8-K is automatically incorporated by reference into each of the active registration statements listed above, thereby amending them to the extent permitted by the rules of the Commission. Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act, the amount of undistributed shares of common stock deemed to be covered by the effective registration statements of the Company described above will be proportionately reduced as of the Effective Time to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

## Exhibit 3.2

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**EXHIBIT 3.2**

**CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO**

**SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION**

**OF PEDEVCO CORP.**

The undersigned, pursuant to the applicable provisions the Texas Business Organizations Code (the "**<u>Code</u>**"), hereby adopts this Certificate of Amendment (this "**<u>Certificate of Amendment</u>**") to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation, filed with the Secretary of State of Texas on February 27, 2025 (the "**<u>Certificate of Formation</u>**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The name of the filing entity is PEDEVCO Corp., a Texas for-profit corporation (the "**<u>Corporation</u>**"). The file number issued to the filing entity by the secretary of state is: 0800949748. The date of formation of the entity is March 11, 2008.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Article IV</u> of the Certificate of Formation shall be restated in its entirety as follows:

"Effective as of the date this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation is filed with the Secretary of State of Texas), the Corporation shall have four hundred million (400,000,000) shares of capital stock authorized. The Corporation is authorized to issue two (2) classes of shares, designated "**<u>Common Stock</u>**" and "**<u>Preferred Stock.</u>**" The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is three hundred million (300,000,000) shares, $0.001 par value per share. The total number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is one hundred million (100,000,000) shares, $0.001 par value per share.

Effective as of 12:01 A.M., Eastern Time, on March 13, 2026 (the "**<u>Effective Time</u>**"), (i) every **twenty (20)** shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in treasury as of immediately prior to the Effective Time ("**<u>Old Common Stock</u>**") shall automatically, and without action on the part of the stockholders of the Corporation, convert and combine into **one (1)** validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the "**<u>New Common Stock</u>**")(such conversion and combination of Old Common Stock into New Common Stock, the "**<u>Reverse Stock Split</u>**").

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any fractional shares of New Common Stock. At the Effective Time any such fractional interest in such shares of New Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive, an amount in cash, without interest, determined by multiplying (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock (on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) on the trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as reported on the NYSE American, by (ii) such fractional share interest to which the holder would otherwise be entitled. Shares of Common Stock that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time and that are not outstanding after the Effective Time shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

Any stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock represented by the certificate shall have been combined.

Certificate of Amendment to<br> Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation<br> of PEDEVCO Corp.<br> Page 1 of 3<br>

The Reverse Stock Split shall have no effect on the number of authorized shares of capital stock, previously designated series of preferred stock (except to the extent such reverse stock split results in an adjustment to the conversion ratios thereof), or the par value thereof as set forth above in the preceding paragraphs.

The undesignated Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors (as defined below) is hereby authorized, subject to any prohibitions set forth in any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series or the designation thereof and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series shall so be decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of such series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation is hereby prohibited from issuing any non-voting Common Stock or Preferred Stock."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. This Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Formation has been approved in the manner required by the Code and by the governing documents of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. This document shall become effective when the document is filed by the Secretary of State of the State of Texas.
