For purposes of calculating the aggregate market value of shares held by non-affiliates, we have assumed that all outstanding shares are held by non-affiliates, except for shares held by each of our executive officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders. In the case of 5% or greater stockholders, we have not deemed such stockholders to be affiliates unless there are facts and circumstances which would indicate that such stockholders exercise any control over our company, or unless they hold 10% or more of our outstanding common stock. These assumptions should not be deemed to constitute an admission that all executive officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders are, in fact, affiliates of our company, or that there are not other persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of our company.

 

As of March 15, 2024, 89,355,267 shares of the registrant’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, were outstanding.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10‑K of PEDEVCO Corp. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2023, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 18, 2024 (the “Original Form 10-K”).

 

This Amendment is being filed solely to replace the consent of Marcum LLP (the “Consent”) previously filed as Exhibit 23.1 to the Original Form 10-K. Due to an administrative error, an incorrect version of the Consent was inadvertently included in the Original Form 10-K. The Company possessed a correct, manually signed copy of the Consent when the Original Form 10-K was filed with the SEC.

 

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment also contains new certifications pursuant to Sections 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

 

Except as set forth in this Amendment, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10‑K. The Original Form 10-K has not been amended or updated to reflect events occurring after March 18, 2024, except as specifically set forth in this Amendment.
