On November 14, 2000, a regular meeting of the board of directors of The
Reserve Petroleum Company was held. At that meeting, a resolution was
unanimously approved which changed the annual stockholders' meeting from the
first Tuesday of May to the fourth Tuesday of May. As a result, only
stockholders of record at the close of business on April 22, 2001, will be
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the stockholders' meeting to be
held on May 22, 2001.
On December 6, 2000, a sale of 160 acres of rural real estate (surface only) in
Canadian County, Oklahoma, owned by The Reserve Petroleum Company was closed at
a sale price which totaled $192,000. As a result, the Company's net income for
the year ending December 31, 2000, will increase approximately $115,000, or $.69
per share, both basic and diluted.
