Permianville Royalty Trust (NYSE: PVL, the “Trust”) today announced that COERT Holdings 1, LLC (the “Sponsor”) has advised The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, that the Sponsor has completed the divestiture of certain oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin (the “Divestiture Properties”) that constitute part of the properties burdened by the Trust’s 80% net profits interest. As previously announced, at a special meeting of the Trust unitholders on July 19, 2023, the Trust unitholders approved a transaction pursuant to which (i) the Sponsor would sell the Divestiture Properties, (ii) the Trust would release the related net profits interest associated with the Divestiture Properties, and (iii) the net proceeds received by the Trust with respect to such sale would be distributed to the unitholders.

The total proceeds received by the Sponsor from the Divestiture Properties, after preliminary closing adjustments, were approximately $6.5 million, inclusive of the escrow funded by the buyer and partial expense reimbursement associated with the proxy solicitation. The Sponsor will deduct final transaction expenses from the sales proceeds, along with an escrow amount of $250,000 to cover possible indemnification obligations under the purchase and sale agreement, to arrive at final net proceeds, based upon the Trust’s 80% net profits interest. The Sponsor will set a record date and the special distribution, reflecting 50% of the Trust’s share of the net proceeds, will be paid to Trust unitholders on or before September 22, 2023. The remaining 50% of the Trust’s share of the net proceeds will be temporarily retained by the Sponsor as a source of payment of the Trust’s proportionate share of any post-closing purchase price adjustments, with any amount remaining after such adjustments to be paid to the Trust within five business days after finalization of the settlement statement (which is expected to occur within 90 days following the closing of the sale) and included in a distribution to unitholders. Within 12 months after the closing of the sale, any remaining amount held in the indemnification escrow will be released to the Trust and included in a distribution to unitholders.
