SoftVest and Blackbeard Holdings Announce Proposed Business Combination with Permian Basin Royalty Trust

SoftVest, a significant unitholder of Permian Basin Royalty Trust (PBT), and Blackbeard Holdings announced a proposed business combination to create a new NYSE-listed company. The transaction would convert PBT's net profits interests into a cost-free 15% royalty interest, add approximately 66,500 acres of surface estate, and leverage Blackbeard's proven operational track record. Former PBT unitholders would own ~58% of the new entity while Blackbeard and affiliates would own ~42%. The deal requires unitholder approval and regulatory clearance.

PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES MARCH CASH DISTRIBUTION, EXCESS COST POSITION ON WADDELL RANCH PROPERTIES AND UNITHOLDER MAILING BY SOFTVEST

Permian Basin Royalty Trust declared a March cash distribution of $0.010662 per unit, down from the previous month due to lower oil and natural gas volumes at Texas Royalty Properties and lower oil pricing, partially offset by higher natural gas pricing. The Waddell Ranch properties remain in an excess cost position with no proceeds distributed. Additionally, SoftVest filed a petition seeking judicial modification of the Trust's Indenture to lower amendment approval requirements from 75% to a simple majority vote.

PERMIAN BASIN ROYALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES JANUARY CASH DISTRIBUTION, EXCESS COST POSITION ON WADDELL RANCH PROPERTIES AND PETITION FILED BY SOFTVEST

Permian Basin Royalty Trust declared a January cash distribution of $0.040056 per unit, increased from the previous month due to a second settlement payment from Blackbeard Operating LLC and higher oil volumes at Texas Royalty Properties, offset by lower natural gas volumes. However, the Waddell Ranch properties continue to have an excess cost position with production costs exceeding gross proceeds in December. Additionally, SoftVest filed a petition seeking judicial modification of the Trust's Indenture to change amendment voting requirements from 75% to a simple majority.
