As previously reported in TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd.’s (the “Company”) Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company recommended the appointment of PMB Helin Donovan, LLP (“PMB Helin”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016, subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

On June 28, 2016, at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the appointment of PMB Helin as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The Company has consulted with DMF System International Independent Auditing, Consulting & Certified Public Accounting Co. (“DMF”) on certain Turkish tax matters, and DMF has provided and continues to provide tax compliance services related to the Company’s business in Turkey. DMF is a member of Russell Bedford International, as is PMB Helin. Other than as noted above, during the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the subsequent interim period through June 28, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with PMB Helin with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that PMB Helin concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” (as those terms are defined in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulations S-K, including the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

The Company held the Annual Meeting on June 28, 2016, to (i) elect seven directors to the Board of Directors, each for a one-year term (“Proposal 1”), and (ii) appoint PMB Helin to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016 and to authorize the Audit Committee to determine their remuneration (“Proposal 2”). For more information about the foregoing proposals, see the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated May 13, 2016.
