NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Trustees of NORTH EUROPEAN OIL ROYALTY TRUST (the “Trust”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Unit Owners to be held on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 and any adjournment or adjournments thereof for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Unit Owners. Only unit owners of record at the close of business on December 31, 2025 will be entitled to vote at such meeting. Proxies properly executed and received in time will be voted as specified in such proxies. If no instructions are specified in such proxies, units of beneficial interest in the Trust (“units”) will be voted for Proposals One and Two. The Trustees do not know of any matters, other than as described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Unit Owners, which are to come before the annual meeting. If any other matters are properly presented at the annual meeting for action, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy and acting thereunder will have the discretion to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its being exercised by filing with the Managing Trustee, at the address of the Trust above, written notice of such revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending and voting in person at the annual meeting. The proxy materials will be mailed to unit owners on or about January 8, 2026.

The Trust was formed on September 10, 1975, pursuant to a vote of the shareholders of North European Oil Company, a predecessor corporate entity. There were 9,190,590 units of the Trust outstanding on December 31, 2025. This number of units represents all authorized units. Each unit owner is entitled to one vote for each unit he or she holds or represents. Any number of units represented by proxy will constitute a quorum for all purposes at the annual meeting.

The affirmative vote of a majority of units represented by proxy at the annual meeting is required to elect a Trustee of the Trust. Regarding the election of Trustees, votes may be made “for,” “against” or “abstain” with respect to all or certain nominees. Abstention votes will be counted as present for purposes of the election of Trustees and will have the same effect as a vote “against” such election.

With respect to Proposal Two, votes may be made “for,” “against” or “abstain” to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Managing Director. Because your votes are advisory on this proposal, they will not be binding on the Trustees or the Trust. However, the Trustees and the Compensation Committee of the Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (the “Compensation Committee”) will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding the Managing Director’s compensation.

In the event of a broker non-vote with respect to any issue coming before the annual meeting, such non-voting units will not be deemed present as to that issue for purposes of determining the total number of units represented by proxy. A “broker non-vote” occurs if a broker or other nominee who is entitled to vote units on behalf of a record owner has not received instructions with respect to a particular item to be voted on, and the broker or nominee does not otherwise have discretionary authority to vote on that matter. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), brokers may vote a client’s proxy at their own discretion on certain items even without instructions from the beneficial owner, but may not vote a client’s proxy without voting instructions on “non-discretionary” items. According to the rules of the NYSE, Proposals One and Two are considered “non-discretionary” items and brokers may not vote your units on any of these proposals in the absence of your specific instructions as to how to vote. Please return your proxy card so your vote can be counted.

The Trustees do not expect that the cost of soliciting proxies will exceed the amount normally expended for a proxy solicitation for an election of directors or trustees and all such costs will be borne by the Trust. In addition to the use of the mail, some proxies may be solicited personally by the Trustees without additional compensation. The Trustees may reimburse persons holding units in their names or in the names of their nominees for their expenses in sending the soliciting materials to their principals.
