(&quot;Nokomis Capital&quot;) or Brett Hendrickson, the manager of Nokomis Capital, is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise the beneficial owner of any of the Common shares, par value $0.10 (the &quot;Common Stock&quot;), of TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. (the &quot;Issuer&quot;) purchased by certain private investment funds advised by Nokomis Capital (collectively, the &quot;Nokomis Accounts&quot;).
