Item 8.01    Other Events
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan, effective September 1, 2023, as outlined below.

RESOLVED, that the Board approves the implementation of a formal stock repurchase plan (“the Plan”), wherein the Company may repurchase up to 15,000 shares of outstanding stock of The Reserve Petroleum Company (“Company Stock”).

RESOLVED, that that Board authorizes and directs that officers of the Company to enter into a Rule 10b-18 compliant brokerage contract to make purchases of The Reserve Petroleum Company stock through OTC to prevent any non-compliance with Rule 10b-18; provided that the Company enters into such Rule 10b-18 compliance brokerage contract at such time as the Company has no material non-public information.

RESOLVED, that the Plan allows the Company to purchase stock in off-market transactions with individual stockholders seeking to sell Company stock directly and not through a broker. The Plan allows the Company to purchase Company stock at negotiated rates with the seller so long as the purchase price does not exceed the highest independent bid or the last transaction price, whichever is higher.

RESOLVED, that in order to prevent violation of Rule 10b-18 and not engage in a tender offer, there will be no prices that will be published by the Company to stockholders.
