Organization of Trust

PermRock Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on November 22, 2017 under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act pursuant to a trust agreement dated November 22, 2017, as amended and restated on May 4, 2018, by and among Boaz Energy II, LLC (“Boaz Energy”), as trustor, Simmons Bank, as trustee, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Delaware Trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”) (such amended and restated trust agreement, as amended to date, the “Trust Agreement”).

In accordance with the successor trustee provisions of the Trust Agreement, Argent Trust Company, as successor trustee of the Trust, is subject to all terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement. The defined term “Trustee” as used herein shall refer to Simmons Bank (which maintains its offices at 2200 West 7th Street, Suite 210, P.O. Box 470727, Fort Worth, Texas 76147) for periods prior to December 30, 2022, and shall refer to Argent Trust Company (which maintains its offices at 3838 Oak Lawn Ave., Suite 1720, Dallas, Texas 75219) for periods on and after December 30, 2022.

The Trust was created to acquire and hold the Net Profits Interest for the benefit of the Trust unitholders. In connection with the closing of the initial public offering of Trust units, on May 4, 2018, Boaz Energy conveyed the Net Profits Interest to the Trust in exchange for Trust units pursuant to a conveyance agreement between Boaz Energy, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (the “Conveyance”). The Net Profits Interest represents an interest in the Underlying Properties.

On January 13, 2025, the Trust announced that Boaz Energy, the owner and operator of the oil and gas properties underlying the Trust (the “Underlying Properties”), informed the Trust that Boaz Energy and its affiliate, Boaz Energy II Royalty, LLC (“Boaz Royalty” and, together with Boaz Energy, the “Grantors”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on January 10, 2025 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with T2S Permian Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“T2S” or "Buyer"), with respect to the Underlying Properties. The Underlying Properties are subject to the Net Profits Interests conveyed to the Trust pursuant to the Conveyance. The transaction between the Grantors and T2S closed on March 31, 2025. Boaz Energy also sold and conveyed to Ustx LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Buyer, Boaz Energy’s 4,884,861 Trust units representing beneficial interests in the Trust. At closing, T2S assumed operations of the Underlying Properties. T2S assumed all obligations and privileges of Boaz Energy under each of the Conveyance and the Trust Agreement. The Trustee continues to administer the Trust in the ordinary course of business

The Net Profits Interest entitles the Trust to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from the Underlying Properties. The Net Profits Interest is passive in nature and neither the Trust nor the Trustee has any control over, or responsibility for, costs relating to the operation of the Underlying Properties. The Trust has and will continue to make monthly cash distributions of all of its monthly cash receipts, after deduction of fees and expenses for the administration of the Trust and any cash reserves, to holders of its Trust units as of the applicable record date on or before the 10th business day after the record date. Distributions generally relate to sales from a one-month period.

The Trustee may deposit funds awaiting distribution in an account with an FDIC-insured or national bank, including the Trustee, if the interest paid to the Trust at least equals amounts paid by the Trustee on similar deposits, and make other short-term investments with the funds distributed to the Trust.

In May 2018, Boaz Energy completed an initial public offering of 6,250,000 of the 12,165,732 total Trust units outstanding, retaining ownership of 5,915,732 Trust units. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Boaz Energy conveyed all of its remaining 4,884,861 Trust units to Ustx, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of T2S, on March 31, 2025. As of August 13, 2025, Ustx, LLC owned 4,884,861 Trust units.

Trust Significant Accounting Policies

a.

Basis of Accounting

The Trust uses the modified cash basis of accounting to report Trust receipts of the Net Profits Interest and payments of expenses incurred. The Net Profits Interest represents the right to receive revenues (primarily oil and natural gas sales), less direct operating expenses, overhead expenses, lease operating expenses, severance and ad valorem taxes and development expenses of the Underlying Properties, multiplied by 80%. Cash distributions of the Trust are made based on the amount of cash received by the Trust pursuant to terms of the Conveyance creating the Net Profits Interest.

The financial statements of the Trust, as prepared on a modified cash basis, reflect the Trust’s assets, liabilities, Trust corpus, earnings and distributions as follows:

Income from the Net Profits Interest is recorded when distributions are received by the Trust;

Distributions to Trust unitholders are recorded when declared by the Trust;

Trust general and administrative expenses (which includes the Trustee’s fees as well as accounting, printing, engineering, legal, tax advisory and other professional fees) are recorded when paid; cash reserves for Trust expenses may be established by the Trustee for certain expenditures that would not be recorded as contingent liabilities under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”);

Amortization of the investment in the Net Profits Interest is calculated on a unit-of-production basis and is charged directly to Trust corpus, and such amortization does not affect distributions from the Trust; and

The Trust’s investment in the Net Profits Interest is periodically assessed to determine whether its aggregate value has been impaired below its total capitalized cost basis. In general, none of the Trustee, Boaz Energy or T2S view temporarily low prices as an indication of impairment. The markets for crude oil and natural gas have a history of significant price volatility and though prices will occasionally drop significantly, industry prices over the long term will continue to be driven by market supply and demand. If events and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, the Trustee would use the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows from the Net Profits Interest to evaluate the recoverability of the Trust assets. If the undiscounted future net cash flows from the Net Profits Interest are less than the Net Profits Interest carrying value, the Trust would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the Net Profits Interest carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Net Profits Interest. The determination as to whether the Net Profits Interest is impaired is based on the best information available to the Trustee at the time of the evaluation, including information provided by Boaz Energy and T2S such as estimates of future production and development and operating expenses. Any impairment would be charged directly to the Trust corpus.

The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is considered to be the most meaningful basis of preparation for a royalty trust because monthly distributions to the Trust unitholders are based on net cash receipts. Although this basis of accounting is permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC, the financial statements of the Trust differ from financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP because net profits income is not accrued in the month of production, expenses are not recognized when incurred, cash reserves may be established for certain contingencies, and overpayments received do not need to be paid back and are instead taken from future payments that would not be recorded in GAAP financial statements. This comprehensive basis of accounting other than GAAP corresponds to the accounting permitted for royalty trusts by the SEC as specified by Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 12:E, Financial Statements of Royalty Trusts.

b.

Interim Financial Statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Trust in accordance with the accounting policies stated in the audited financial statements and notes of the Trust thereto included in the Trust’s 2024 Annual Report and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Trustee, necessary to state fairly the information in the Trust’s unaudited interim financial statements.

c.

Use of Estimates.

The preparation of financial statements requires the Trust to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimated future cash flows used to determine amortization and potential impairment of the investment in the Net Profits Interest are subject to change.

d.

Risks and Uncertainties.

The Trust’s revenue and distributions are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for oil and natural gas, each of which depends on numerous factors beyond the Trust’s control such as economic conditions, the global political environment, regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and may be subject to significant fluctuations in the future.

e.

Contingencies.

Contingencies related to the Underlying Properties that are unfavorably resolved would generally be expected to result in reductions to cash receipts to the Trust in respect of the Net Profits Interest with corresponding reductions to cash distributions to Trust unitholders. Please see the discussion of litigation in Note 8 to condensed financial statements.

Income Taxes

Tax counsel advised the Trust at the time of formation that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust is treated as a grantor trust and will not be subject to federal income tax at the trust level. Trust unitholders will be treated for such purposes as owning a direct interest in the assets of the Trust, and each Trust unitholder is taxed directly on its pro rata share of the income and any gain, if sold, attributable to the assets of the Trust and is entitled to claim its pro rata share of deductions and expenses attributable to the assets of the Trust. Each Trust unitholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding income tax requirements, if any, applicable to such unitholder’s ownership of Trust units.

Cash Reserves

Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, as of May 31, 2019, the Trustee began retaining cash from the distributions the Trust received to be used by the Trust in the event that its cash on hand (including available cash reserves) is not sufficient to pay ordinary course administrative expenses as they become due. The Trustee is authorized to retain cash reserves (i) in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 at any one time and (ii) in such amounts as the Trustee in its discretion deems appropriate to pay for future liabilities of the Trust, but not less than $25,000 per month or more than $100,000 per month. Cash reserves held by the Trustee for administrative expenses totaled $1,000,000 as of June 30, 2025.

T2S is entitled under the Conveyance to reserve up to $3.0 million from the net profits for certain future taxes and development or operating expenses. As of December 31, 2024, the balance of funds held by Boaz Energy to cover certain future capital expenses was $526,174 net to the Trust. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of funds held back to cover future capital expenses was $318,174 net to the Trust. These funds are now held by T2S, as successor in interest to Boaz Energy.

Distributions to Unitholders

The Trust makes monthly cash distributions of the net amount, if any, of its monthly cash receipts, after deduction of fees and expenses for the administration of the Trust and cash reserves to holders of its Trust units as of the applicable record date on or before the 10th business day after the record date.

Based on 12,165,732 Trust units outstanding at each date listed below, the per unit distributions during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were as follows:

Trustee Administrative Fee. Under the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trust pays an annual administrative fee to the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee. The Delaware Trustee’s annual fee is $4,000. For 2025, the Trustee’s annual administrative fee is $205,031, which is divided into twelve equal monthly payments throughout the year. The Trustee’s annual administrative fee increased at a rate of 3% per year for the first three years of the Trust’s existence, and increased at a rate of 2% in 2023 and 2024. The Trustee’s annual administrative fee increased at a rate of 1% in 2025, and will continue to increase at a rate of 1% per year until the 20th anniversary of the Trust’s formation and then will remain flat thereafter. These costs of the Trust, which are included in administration expenses, are deducted by the Trust before distributions are made to Trust unitholders.

Agreements with T2S as successor-in-interest to Boaz Energy. On May 4, 2018, the Trust entered into a registration rights agreement for the benefit of Boaz Energy and certain of its affiliates and transferees, pursuant to which the Trust agreed to register the offering of the Trust units held by Boaz Energy and certain of its affiliates and permitted transferees upon request by Boaz Energy. The Trust filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 on April 28, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”) seeking the registration of 5,801,675 Trust units held by Boaz Energy. The SEC confirmed the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on May 9, 2022. As of August 13, 2025, Ustx, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of T2S, owned 4,884,861 Trust units of the 12,165,732 Trust units issued and outstanding.

Development Costs

T2S's estimated capital and workover budget for 2025 for the Underlying Properties (the "Plan") is $4.0 million, of which approximately $0.2 million has been expended as of June 30, 2025. T2S expects to continue the Plan implemented by Boaz Energy prior to T2S's acquisition of the Underlying Properties. The Plan includes drilling two wells (one injector well and one producer well in Crane County, Texas), participating in T2S's proportionate share of the drilling of a new non-operated well with planned completion during the third quarter of 2025, along with investing in workovers, waterflood pattern conformance, and returning certain shut-in wells to production wells. The majority of capital spent in 2025 to date was spent on non-operated projects in the Permian Shelf Area. The $4.0 million estimate is subject to change based on, among other things, T2S’s continued analysis of the Plan, changes in the price of oil and natural gas, T2S's actual capital requirements, the pace of regulatory approvals and the mix of projects.

Settlements and Litigation

On October 1, 2018, a lawsuit styled Thaleia L. Marston, Trustee of the Marston Trust v. Blackbeard Operating, LLC, et.al, No. 18-10-24761 – CVW in the 143rd District Court in Ward County, Texas (the “2018 Litigation”) was filed, naming, among others, Boaz Energy and the Trust as defendants. The plaintiff is a lessor under two leases operated by Blackbeard Operating LLC. The Underlying Properties include the interests of Boaz Energy in some of the minerals covered by those leases. The litigation sought surface use damages and alleged violations of the terms of the leases, among other things. The court had set a two-day bench trial to commence May 18, 2022, but on May 10, 2022, the court granted motions for summary judgment effectively disposing of the plaintiff’s claims. At a status conference conducted on May 12, 2022, the plaintiff confirmed the court’s rulings disposed of all the plaintiff’s claims. The court held a hearing regarding attorneys’ fees in June 2022. On May 12, 2023, the court entered its final judgment, incorporating its prior order granting the defendants’ motion for summary judgment and granting defendants’ motion for attorneys’ fees, but the plaintiff then filed a notice of appeal to the Eighth Court of Appeals in El Paso County, Texas. By order dated February 5, 2025, the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s judgment in favor of the defendant appellees and therefore, this case concluded.

Subsequent Events

On July 21, 2025, the Trust declared a cash distribution of $0.032491 per Trust unit based upon production during the month of May 2025.
