Other Events.

On December 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time, a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of unit holders (“Unit Holders”) of the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) was convened for the purpose of soliciting Unit Holder approval of (i) the appointment of Argent Trust Company, a Tennessee chartered trust company (“Argent”), as successor trustee to PNC Bank, National Association, as current trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Trust and (ii) amendments to the Indenture, as amended and restated, of the Trust that are necessary to permit Argent to serve as successor trustee and otherwise in connection with the resignation of the Trustee and appointment of Argent, each as further described in the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 2, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), as supplemented by the additional proxy materials filed with the SEC on October 23, 2023 (the “Special Meeting Proposals”).
At the time of the Special Meeting, there were not sufficient units present or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, the Special Meeting was adjourned without any business being conducted. The adjourned meeting will reconvene, in person at 2200 Post Oak Blvd., Floor 19, Houston, Texas 77056 and virtually via webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SJT2023SM, on January 16, 2024, at 10:00 Central Time, to vote on the Special Meeting Proposals. The record date for determining Unit Holders’ eligibility to vote at the reconvened Special Meeting will remain the close of business on October 2, 2023.
During the period of the adjournment, the Trust will continue to solicit proxies with respect to the proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement. Proxies previously submitted in respect of the Special Meeting will be voted at the reconvened meeting unless properly revoked, and Unit Holders who have already submitted a proxy to vote their Units need not take any action unless they wish to change or revoke their votes.
No changes have been made in the proposals to be voted on by Unit Holders at the Special Meeting. The Proxy Statement and other materials filed by the Trust with the SEC remain unchanged and can be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
A copy of the press release issued by the Trust relating to the foregoing is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
