Trillion Energy International Inc. Settles $386K Debt with Share Issuance

Trillion Energy International Inc. (CSE: TCF) (OTCQB: TRLEF) has announced the settlement of $386,295.42 in debt through the issuance of 7,725,908 common shares at $0.05 per share to directors, officers, and consultants. This move includes a related-party transaction involving 3.9 million shares issued to management, executed under MI 61-101 exemptions due to the transaction's value being below 25% of the company's market capitalization. The shares are subject to a four-month-plus-one-day hold period in accordance with Canadian securities law, underscoring the company's adherence to regulatory requirements while addressing its financial obligations.

The strategic issuance of shares to settle debt reflects Trillion Energy's approach to managing its financial liabilities without immediate cash outflow, preserving liquidity for its operations focused on oil and natural gas production in Europe and Türkiye. The company's assets include a significant interest in the SASB natural gas field and the Cendere oil field, positioning it as a key player in the energy sector within these regions. This financial maneuver is indicative of the company's broader strategy to maintain operational flexibility and pursue growth opportunities in the competitive energy market.
