Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of

our stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 1,
2019. The E-proxy notice contains instructions for your use of this
process, including how to access our proxy statement and annual
report and how to authorize your proxy to vote online. In addition,
the E-proxy notice contains instructions on how you may receive a
paper copy of the proxy statement and annual report or elect to
receive your proxy statement and annual report over the
Internet.&#xA0;We believe these rules allow us to provide you with
the information you need while lowering the costs of delivery and

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Beneficial
ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the
Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example,
persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the
shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by
a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for
example, upon exercise of an option or warrant or upon conversion
of a convertible security) within 60 days of the date as of which
the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership
of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount
of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such
acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding
shares of any person as shown in the following table does not
necessarily reflect the person&#x2019;s actual voting power at any
particular date.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Our
board of directors has the responsibility for selecting our
appropriate leadership structure. In making leadership structure
determinations, the board of directors considers many factors,
including the specific needs of our business and what is in the
best interests of our stockholders. Our current leadership
structure is comprised of a separate Chairman of the board of
directors and Chief Executive Officer (&#x201C;<font style="text-decoration: underline">CEO</font>&#x201D;). Mr. John J. Scelfo
serves as Chairman and Dr. Simon Kukes serves as CEO. The board of
directors does not have a policy as to whether the Chairman should
be an independent director, an affiliated director, or a member of
management. Our board of directors believes that the
Company&#x2019;s current leadership structure is appropriate because
it effectively allocates authority, responsibility, and oversight
between management (the Company&#x2019;s CEO, Dr. Kukes) and the
members of our board of directors. It does this by giving primary
responsibility for the operational leadership and strategic
direction of the Company to its CEO, while enabling our Chairman to
facilitate our board of directors&#x2019; oversight of management,
promote communication between management and our board of
directors, and support our board of directors&#x2019; consideration
of key governance matters. The board of directors believes that its
programs for overseeing risk, as described below, would be
effective under a variety of leadership frameworks and therefore do
not materially affect its choice of structure.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Effective risk
oversight is an important priority of the board of directors.
Because risks are considered in virtually every business decision,
the board of directors discusses risk throughout the year generally
or in connection with specific proposed actions. The board of
directors&#x2019; approach to risk oversight includes understanding
the critical risks in the Company&#x2019;s business and strategy,
evaluating the Company&#x2019;s risk management processes,
allocating responsibilities for risk oversight among the full board
of directors, and fostering an appropriate culture of integrity and
compliance with legal responsibilities.</font></div>

adopted the Blast Energy Services, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan,
which was approved by our stockholders on July 30, 2012 and
subsequently renamed to the PEDEVCO Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan in connection with our name change from Blast Energy Services,
Inc. to PEDEVCO Corp. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides for
awards of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options,
rights to acquire restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, or
SARs, and performance units and performance shares. Subject to the
provisions of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan relating to
adjustments upon changes in our common stock, an aggregate
of&#xA0;200,000&#xA0;shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. On April 23, 2014,
the board of directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity
Incentive Plan, to increase by&#xA0;500,000&#xA0;shares, the number
of awards available for issuance under the plan, which was approved
by stockholders on June 27, 2014. On July 27, 2015, the board of
directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by&#xA0;300,000&#xA0;shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on October 7, 2015. On October 21, 2016, the board of
directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by&#xA0;500,000&#xA0;shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on December 28, 2016. On November 6, 2017, the board
of directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by 1,500,000 shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on December 28, 2017. On August 10, 2018, the board of
directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by 3,000,000 shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on September 27, 2018.</font> Pursuant to proposal 2,
beginning on page 41, we are seeking stockholder
approval at the annual meeting to increase by 2 million shares, the
number of awards available for issuance under the 2012
Plan.</font></div>

for issuance under the 2009 Plan would be increased on the first
day of each fiscal year beginning with our 2011 fiscal year, in an

the Blast Energy Services, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which
was approved by our stockholders on July 30, 2012 and subsequently
renamed to the PEDEVCO Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan in
connection with our name change from Blast Energy Services, Inc. to
PEDEVCO Corp. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides for awards of
incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, rights to
acquire restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, and
performance units and performance shares. Subject to the provisions
of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan relating to adjustments upon
changes in our common stock, an aggregate
of&#xA0;200,000&#xA0;shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. On April 23, 2014,
the board of directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity
Incentive Plan, to increase by&#xA0;500,000&#xA0;shares, the number
of awards available for issuance under the plan, which was approved
by stockholders on June 27, 2014. On July 27, 2015, the board of
directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by&#xA0;300,000&#xA0;shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on October 7, 2015. On October 21, 2016, the board of

Plan, to increase by&#xA0;500,000&#xA0;shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on December 28, 2016. On November 6, 2017, the board
of directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by 1,500,000 shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by
stockholders on December 28, 2017. On August 10, 2018, the board of
directors adopted an amended and restated 2012 Equity Incentive
Plan, to increase by 3,000,000 shares, the number of awards
available for issuance under the plan, which was approved by

Historically, there had been an exception to this annual $1,000,000
tax deduction limit for qualifying performance-based compensation,
which may include stock options and stock appreciation rights, or
SARs, granted pursuant to a plan with a shareholder approved
individual participant award limit. However, as a result of the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, effective January 1, 2018, this
exception has been eliminated for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2017 (other than with respect to certain compensation
payable under a written binding contract that was in effect on
November 2, 2017). As a result, there is no longer an exemption
under Section 162(m) of the Code for qualified performance-based
compensation awarded under the 2012 Plan after November 2, 2017,
unless made under a written binding contract that was in effect on
or prior to such date.</font></div>

reason for the amendment is solely to increase the shares available

available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility,

respect to which the Option is exercised (together with all
applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator
and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan (together with
all applicable withholding taxes). Shares issued upon exercise of
an Option will be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or
her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or
receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist
with respect to the Optioned Shares, notwithstanding the exercise

be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is
prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in
