An update from Permian Basin ( (PBT) ) is now available.
On May 8, 2026, the 96th District Court of Tarrant County, Texas approved a petition by unitholder SoftVest, L.P. to modify the Permian Basin Royalty Trust’s governing Indenture, significantly easing amendment thresholds. The court eliminated the prior requirement that certain changes receive approval from 75% of outstanding units, instead allowing Indenture provisions to be amended by a majority in interest of unitholders constituting a quorum at a duly convened meeting.
Following the ruling, Argent Trust Company, as trustee, executed Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Trust Indenture on May 8, 2026 to implement the court-sanctioned changes. The revised governance framework is expected to give unitholders greater flexibility to adjust the Trust’s terms over time, potentially affecting how quickly the Trust can respond to strategic, regulatory or operational issues raised by its investor base.
