fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Terms such as “may,” “might,” “would,” “should,”

“could,” “project,” “estimate,” “pro-forma,” “predict,” “potential,”

“strategy,” “anticipate,” “attempt,” “develop,” “plan,” “help,”

statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations.

The forward-looking statements

are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events or circumstances, including the closing of the Membership Interest

Item 1.01

Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on

May 8, 2026, Vivakor, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a financing transaction with certain institutional investors (the

“Investors”) under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) to issue and sell to each of the Investors

promissory notes (the “Notes”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $12.0 million (the “Purchase Price”),

before deducting fees to the placement agent, RBW Capital Partners LLC (a division of Dawson James Securities, Inc.) (“RBW”),

and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering (the “Offering”). The Notes have a principal amount

of $15,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”), which consists of the Purchase Price plus $3,000,000 representing a 20% original

issuance discount.

Pursuant to the SPA, the first

half of the Purchase Price ($6,000,000) was paid in connection with the initial closing date (the “First Closing”), and second

half of the Purchase Price ($6,000,000) was paid on July 16, 2026 (the “Second Closing”). The First Closing and Second Closing

were conducted through the terms of an escrow agreement with a third-party escrow agent.

Under the terms of the SPA,

the Company registered for resale all shares of its common stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes with respect to the First

Closing and the Second Closing under the terms of a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which went effective with the SEC on July 16,

2026.

As previously reported, in

addition to the SPA and the Note, on May 7, 2026, the Company entered into a standby equity purchase agreement (the “SEPA”)

with one of the Investors (the “SEPA Investor”), under which the SEPA Investor has committed to purchase from the Company

up to $100,000,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock in an equity line of credit (the “Equity Line”). Subject

to the terms and conditions of the SEPA, the Company has the right from time to time at its discretion until the first day of the month

following the 36-month period after the date of the SEPA (or earlier in the event the SEPA Investor shall have made payment of $100 million

in Advances), to direct the SEPA Investor to purchase a specified amount of shares of common stock (each such sale, an “Advance”)

by delivering written notice to the SEPA Investor (each, an “Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount

for any Advance, it may not exceed the lesser of (i) an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the average of the Daily Traded

Amount (as defined in the SEPA) during the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding an Advance Notice, (ii) 30% of the Daily

Traded Amount (as defined in the SEPA) and (iii) $1 million, and may not exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance will be purchased at a price equal to 94% of the lowest VWAP of the common

stock during the three Trading Days following the applicable notice date. The Company may also deliver intraday purchase notices to the

Investor, and the common stock purchased pursuant to an intraday Advance will be purchased at a price equal to 98% of the lowest traded

price of the common stock during the intraday pricing period, as determined pursuant to the terms of the SEPA.

On July 15, 2026, the Company

and the Investors entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the SPA, the Notes, and the SEPA (the “Amendment No. 1”), under which

the Investors agreed to fund the Second Closing in return for the Company agreeing to maintain the $0.37 floor price in the investment

documents after the Company’s 1-for-20 reverse stock split that went effective July 17, 2026.

This summary is not a complete

description of all of the terms of the Amendment No. 1 and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment

No. 1 a form of which is filed as Exhibits 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously reported, on

August 12, 2025, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “Note”), to an accredited investor (the “Holder”),

in the principal amount of $647,059. The Company received $550,000, before fees.

On July 21, 2026, the Company

received a Notice of Conversion (the “Holder’s Notice of Conversion”) from one of the Holder converting an aggregate

of $28,545 of the principal amount and interest due under the Notes into 33,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Holder’s

Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Note and the Holder’s Notice of Conversion, the Company issued the Holder’s Shares.

The Holder’s Shares were issued without a Rule 144 restrictive legend pursuant to a legal opinion received by the Company and its

transfer agent. The issuances of the foregoing securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities

Act promulgated thereunder as the holder is an accredited investor and familiar with our operations.

As previously reported, between

June 6, 2025 and June 9, 2025, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “Lender Notes”), to seven non-affiliated

accredited investors (the “Lenders”), in the aggregate principal amount of $5,117,647.06 in connection with a Securities Purchase

Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Lenders (the “Lender SPA”). Under the terms of the Lender SPA and

the Lender Notes, the Company received $4,350,000 prior to deducting customary fees.

On July 21, 2026, the Company

received a Notice of Conversion from a Lender converting $27,680 of the amounts due under the Lender Notes into 32,000 shares of the

Company’s common stock (the “Lender Shares”), respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Lender Notes and the Notices

of Conversion, the Company issued the Lender Shares. The Lender Shares were issued without a Rule 144 restrictive legend pursuant to

a legal opinion received by the Company and its transfer agent. The issuances of the foregoing securities were exempt from registration

pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act promulgated thereunder as the holder is an accredited investor and familiar with our

operations.

Exhibit 99.1

VIVAKOR EXPANDS PHYSICAL CRUDE OIL MARKETING PLATFORM TO OVER

$700 MILLION WITH FOUR NEW RECURRING COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS

Four recurring transactions increase marketed volumes to 300,000 barrels per month

(3.6 million barrels annually) and are expected to generate approximately $289 million in

annualized commercial activity based on current market prices.

Dallas, TX – GlobeNewswire – July 21, 2026 – Vivakor, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIVK) (“Vivakor” or the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC (“VST”), today announced the execution of four recurring physical crude oil purchase and sale transactions with two commercial counterparties. The transactions commence August 1, 2026, and continue through July 31, 2027, with month-to-month renewals thereafter.

The agreements expands VST’s recurring physical crude oil marketing activities across the Cushing and Midland crude oil markets while broadening the Company’s commercial counterparty relationships.

Based on current market pricing assumptions. Actual revenues will vary based on commodity prices, market differentials, delivered volumes and timing.

Following these transactions, Vivakor has announced recurring commercial programs representing approximately $709 million in annualized commercial activity and approximately 8.1 million barrels of annual marketed crude oil volumes, based on current market pricing assumptions. These recurring commercial programs complement the Company’s transportation, terminaling and storage operations.

“These agreements represent another important milestone for Vivakor Supply & Trading. They increase our recurring marketed volumes, broaden our commercial relationships and further demonstrate our ability to execute our strategy of integrating commodity marketing with our transportation, terminaling and storage assets. We believe continued execution of this strategy will create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Consistent with standard physical commodity marketing transactions, VST only recognizes a small percentage of the total contract value as gross profit, reflecting its role as an intermediary in the physical crude oil supply chain. Accordingly, the gross profit recognized by VST will represent only a portion of the estimated commercial activity described above and will vary based on market conditions, commodity pricing, transaction structure and delivered volumes.
