Permian Basin ( (PBT) ) just unveiled an update.

On December 16, 2025, Permian Basin Royalty Trust held a special meeting of unitholders in Fort Worth, Texas, where a quorum was established with 27,938,688 of 46,608,796 outstanding units represented. Unitholders overwhelmingly approved a non-binding proposal requesting that SoftVest Advisors or another appropriate party pursue judicial reformation of the trust indenture to allow future amendments to be approved by a simple majority of votes cast at duly constituted special meetings, and also approved a related proposal to adjourn the meeting if needed to solicit additional proxies. Although the reformation proposal is not binding on the trust, SoftVest Advisors has notified the trustee that it intends to move forward with seeking such judicial modification, signaling a potential shift in the trust’s governance framework that could make future changes to the indenture easier to implement and increase the influence of active unitholders in shaping the trust’s direction.
