Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 21, 2015, the compensation committee of TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. (the “Company”) awarded restricted stock units to all eligible employees, including all of the Company’s named executive officers (other than N. Malone Mitchell 3rd), in recognition of the growth of the Company’s net sales volumes for 2014, as compared to 2013.  

The Company’s named executive officers are N. Malone Mitchell 3rd, James R. Huling, Matthew W. McCann, Harold L. Muncy and Wil F. Saqueton.  N. Malone Mitchell 3rd did not receive a grant because he has elected not to receive compensation for his service as chief executive officer of the Company.  

The compensation committee granted James R. Huling, Matthew W. McCann, Harold L. Muncy and Wil F. Saqueton 7,193, 12,049, 9,903 and 16,688 restricted stock units, respectively.  The restricted stock units vest in full on April 27, 2015.
