SAN DIEGO, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Royale Energy, Inc. (“Royale” or the “Company”) (OTC: ROYL) today announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a comprehensive Strategic Review focused on strengthening the Company’s financial position, enhancing capital markets readiness, and positioning the Company for a potential relisting on a national exchange, subject to meeting applicable listing requirements and market conditions. Roth Capital Partners has been engaged as the Company’s financial advisor to lead this Strategic Review process.

This Strategic Review follows the recent appointment of Jonathan Gregory as Executive Chairman, who has been engaged to lead the initiative in collaboration with the Board and management team. Mr. Gregory brings deep experience in energy finance, asset acquisition, corporate governance, and capital markets strategy, and was appointed specifically to oversee this process.

As part of the Strategic Review, the Company is evaluating a range of strategic and capital markets alternatives designed to improve shareholder value, including balance sheet optimization, asset-level capital allocation strategies, and potential transactions that could support increased scale, liquidity, and institutional visibility.

Royale is currently quoted on OTCQB, is in compliance with all SEC reporting requirements, and was previously listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company has not established a timetable for the completion of this review and does not intend to comment further unless and until a specific course of action is approved by the Board of Directors.
