The Registrant, Trillion Energy Holdings Limited (Parent), a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares, Trillion Energy Investments Holdings Limited (Merger Sub), a Cayman Islands exempted company wholly-owned by Parent, and Mr. Jianqiu Yu, the Registrants Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, entered into an agreement and plan of merger on June 4, 2012 and an amendment to the agreement and plan of merger on September 13, 2012 (as amended, the merger agreement). The merger agreement was approved on October 15, 2012 by the shareholders of the Registrant at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. The Registrant and Merger Sub subsequently filed a plan of merger with the Cayman Islands Companies Registrar, which became effective as of October 17, 2012 (the effective time), as a result of which Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving company after the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time, all outstanding Shares and American depositary shares of the Registrant were cancelled.
In connection with the merger, the Registrant has terminated the offering of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
