EXPLANATION NOTE

PEDEVCO Corp. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) previously filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 3, 2025 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), disclosing that on October 31, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into, and closed the transactions contemplated by, an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with NP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), COG Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub,” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NPOG”), Century Oil and Gas Sub-Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“COG,” and together with NPOG, “North Peak”), and, solely for purposes of the specified provisions therein, North Peak Oil & Gas Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (“North Peak Holdings”), pursuant to which (a) First Merger Sub merged with and into NPOG, with NPOG being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEDEVCO, and (b) Second Merger Sub merged with and into COG, with COG being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of PEDEVCO (clauses (a) and (b), together, the “Mergers” or the “North Peak Merger”). Concurrently with the closing of the Mergers, certain investors subscribed for and purchased an aggregate of 6,363,637 shares of PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to $5.50 per share or an aggregate of $35,000,004, from the Company. North Peak owns substantial oil-weighted producing assets and leasehold interests with future drilling inventory located in the Northern DJ and Powder River Basins including approximately 281,000 net acres.

At the time of the filing of the Initial Form 8-K, the Company stated that it intended to file the required financial statements and pro forma financial information associated with the Mergers within 71 days from the date that such Initial Form 8-K was required to be filed.

Pursuant to an Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025 (“Amendment No. 1”), the Company amended and restated Item 9.01 thereof to include the required financial statements and pro forma financial information.

This Amendment No. 2 to the Initial Form 8-K (this “Amendment”) is being filed by the Company to amend Amendment No. 1 solely to further amend and restate Item 9.01 thereof, to present the audited and interim unaudited financial statements of North Peak, which were included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to Amendment No. 1, as searchable text and with html tables in accordance with Rule 304(e) of Regulation S-T; and to include an updated Consent of Whitley Penn LLP, independent registered public accounting firm of North Peak, as Exhibit 23.1, in order for Whitley Penn LLP to consent to the incorporation by reference of their audit report and the audited financial statements of North Peak into the Company’s previously filed registration statements.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Initial Form 8-K or Amendment No. 1. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Initial Form 8-K or Amendment No. 1. The audited and unaudited financial statements of North Peak included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto are unchanged from those included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to Amendment No. 1, except that such financial information as attached hereto has been presented in searchable text and HTML format in accordance with Rule 304(e) of Regulation S-T.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

(i) North Peak’s audited financial statements, comprising the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related combined statements of operations, combined statements of changes in members’ equity, and combined statements of cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.

(ii) North Peak’s unaudited financial statements, comprising the condensed combined consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the related condensed combined consolidated statements of operations, condensed combined statements of changes in members’ equity, and condensed combined statements of cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Pro forma financial information.

The unaudited pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01, as well as the accompanying notes thereto, are incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.3, and incorporated by reference into this Item 9.01. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and adjusts such information to give effect of the Mergers.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of September 30, 2025, gives effect to the North Peak Merger as if it had occurred on September 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, gives pro forma effect to the North Peak Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, gives pro forma effect to the North Peak Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2024.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of PEDEVCO would have been had the North Peak Merger occurred on the date noted above, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations.
