• Oil and Gas Deal Terminated

  On October 16, 2026, Callan Power LLC exercised its right to terminate the August 26, 2026 APA to acquire 50% of The Pfanenstiel Company's oil and gas leases and mineral interests in North Dakota and Montana, citing insufficient diligence.

• Capital Raise No Longer Needed

  The company states it will no longer need to raise additional capital to consummate the acquisition, removing the financing overhang tied to that specific deal.

• Future Deal Left Open

  The parties may evaluate a transaction on different terms, but the filing states there is no assurance any deal will be agreed or completed.

• Distress Backdrop Unchanged

  The termination follows previously disclosed going concern language, two Nasdaq delisting notices, a material weakness in internal controls, and a failure to meet the $2.5M stockholders' equity requirement by the October 5 deadline.

Callan Power LLC has walked away from the 50% oil and gas lease acquisition it signed on August 26, 2026, telling the seller on October 16 that diligence did not support proceeding. The direct benefit is that the company no longer needs to raise capital to close the deal — meaningful for a company that previously disclosed a going concern warning and Nasdaq equity shortfalls. The cost is that the diversification into Williston Basin oil and gas production, which underpinned the recent acquisition narrative, is gone, leaving the core business and its listing problems unresolved.
