NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF LIMITED PARTNERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 13, 2024
Dear Unitholders of Black Stone Minerals, L.P.:
Notice is hereby given that the 2024 annual meeting of limited partners (the “Annual Meeting”) of Black Stone Minerals, L.P. (the “Partnership”) will be held on June 13, 2024 at 12:00 p.m., Central Time, via live webcast, for the following purposes:
| 1. | to elect directors to the Board of Directors of Black Stone Minerals GP, L.L.C., the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner” and such Board of Directors, the “Board”), each to serve until the 2025 annual meeting of limited partners and thereafter until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal; |
| 2. | to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024; |
| 3. | to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the General Partner’s named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2023; |
| 4. | to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the preferred frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation; and |
| 5. | to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof. |
You may attend the Annual Meeting via the internet athttps://web.lumiconnect.com/255252993. Because the Annual Meeting is completely virtual and being conducted via the Internet, you will not be able to attend the meeting in person.
The Board has fixed the close of business on April 15, 2024 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Holders of record of the Partnership’s common units and preferred units as of the close of business on such date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.
Pursuant to the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Partnership is providing access to its proxy materials primarily via the Internet, rather than mailing paper copies of these materials to each unitholder. On or about April 29, 2024, the Partnership began mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to its unitholders of record detailing how to access the proxy materials electronically and how to submit a proxy by telephone, Internet, or mail or vote during the Annual Meeting. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides instructions on how to request and obtain paper copies of the proxy materials.
If your units are held in street name, you will receive instructions from the holder of record detailing how to direct the voting of your units. Internet and/or telephone voting will also be offered to unitholders holding units in street name.
The Partnership urges you to review the proxy materials carefully and to submit your proxy or voting instructions as soon as possible so that your units will be represented at the Annual Meeting.
By Order of the Board,
/s/ Steve Putman
Steve Putman
Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary of Black Stone Minerals GP, L.L.C.
