**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On April 13, 2026, Camber Energy, Inc. ("Camber" or the "Company") issued a press release regarding the events described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and uploaded a presentation to its website concerning certain Broken Conductor Protection Technologies owned by the Company's indirect majority-owned subsidiaries. Copies of the press release and presentation are furnished hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, through indirect majority-owned subsidiaries, namely Viking Protection Systems, LLC ("VPS"), Viking Distribution Solutions, LLC ("VDS") and Viking Sentinel Technology, LLC ("VST", together with VPS and VDS, "Viking"), the Company owns the intellectual property rights to patented and patent pending proprietary electric transmission and distribution broken conductor protection systems (collectively, "BCPT").

As further described below, the Company continues to advance the development, validation, and field evaluation of BCPT across both transmission and distribution systems.

**Recent Distribution-Level Installation and Testing**

On or about April 8, 2026, Viking's patented, algorithm-based broken conductor protection technology for distribution systems ("Viking's Distribution BCPT") was installed within a protective relay device at a substation serving a distribution circuit located at a U.S. government facility. During initial testing, a simulated open-conductor condition was introduced on the circuit, and Viking's Distribution BCPT detected the condition and asserted the programmed trip logic within the relay, consistent with expected operation under controlled test conditions.

Additional testing under live operating conditions is planned in the coming weeks.

**Ongoing Utility Evaluation and Data Validation**

Viking has conducted extensive modeling and validation activities in collaboration with a major U.S. electric utility, including the analysis of hundreds of thousands of hours of recorded system data derived from energized system operation. These analyses incorporated phasor measurement unit (PMU) data and other high-resolution monitoring data and evaluated BCPT performance across a wide range of operating conditions, including normal system loading, switching events, and low-current scenarios.

Based on these evaluations, BCPT demonstrated the ability to identify open-conductor conditions across a range of operating scenarios while maintaining stable operation under non-fault conditions.

**Field Deployment and Monitoring Activities**

Viking's BCPT has been integrated within relay-based control devices operating on both distribution and transmission systems, where it continues to operate in a monitoring configuration. These deployments are intended to support ongoing evaluation of BCPT performance under live operating conditions and varying system states.

With respect to distribution systems, BCPT has been installed within a relay device associated with a distribution circuit, where it has been operating in monitoring mode since 2025.

Following the Company's previously disclosed transmission-line validation testing conducted in February 2026, BCPT has remained installed within applicable transmission protection relays in a monitoring configuration, enabling continued observation and performance evaluation under energized system conditions.

The utility that performed the test on February 26, 2026 also evaluated a product that purports to detect open-conductor conditions (the "Competitive Product") which was designed by another organization. Based on the results of that testing, the Competitive Product did not detect the simulated open-conductor conditions under the test parameters utilized**.**

**Technology Overview**

Viking's BCPT includes software-based protection solutions designed to operate within existing microprocessor-based relay infrastructure. The technologies utilize a multi-parameter detection methodology based on current and voltage behavior to identify open-conductor conditions and are designed to function without the need for additional hardware or external communications. Additionally, VST's patented end-of-line technology provides terminal-end detection and protective signaling for distribution circuits, extending protection coverage into low-current regions where the sensitivity of conventional protection systems may be limited.

There can be no assurance that any commercial agreements will result from the foregoing activities or that BCPT will be deployed on a broader basis by any utility or other third party.

**Patent Summary**

As previously disclosed, a summary of the applicable patents, pending patents and/or patent applications associated with the intellectual property owned by VPS, VDS and/or VST as at the date hereof is as follows:
