The following is a press release made available by SoftVest LP on May 6, 2019:

INVESTOR GROUP AGAIN CALLS ON TRUSTEES OF TEXAS PACIFIC LAND TRUST (TPL) TO COMMIT TO BRING ELECTION TO A SHAREHOLDER VOTE ON MAY 22

Raise Continuing Concerns That Trustees Will Delay Vote If Needed To Prevent Oliver From Becoming Trustee

DALLAS, May 6, 2019 - SoftVest, L.P., Horizon Kinetics LLC and ART-FGT Family Partners, which collectively beneficially own over 25% of the outstanding shares of Texas Pacific Land Trust (NYSE: TPL), issued today the following statement:

“This Monday morning TPL investors woke up again to yet another shareholder-funded designer ad from the incumbent trustees, touting the merits of their nominee while demonizing Eric Oliver.

“But we did not see an answer to the simple question we posed to the incumbent Trustees last week: Will the incumbents publicly commit today to bring the Trustee election to a vote of shareholders on May 22, 2019 regardless of whether General Cook is at that time ahead in the vote count?

“Many shareholders are making travel plans to attend the scheduled meeting. They – and every other shareholder – deserve to know that the incumbents are committed to holding a vote, as scheduled, at 10:00am on May 22nd regardless of who is ahead in the vote count at that time. We are asking the incumbents to publicly commit today to bring this matter to a vote on May 22.

“As we have previously stated, we are deeply concerned that the incumbents and their advisors will concoct some excuse to delay again the vote if they come to believe Mr. Oliver will be elected by shareholders. We believe any further delay of the meeting would not only be improper under TPL’s declaration of trust, but also contrary to the high fiduciary standards that apply to the trustees’ actions.

We encourage shareholders to contact the incumbent trustees and management, and demand their immediate public commitment to bring this matter to a resolution at the May 22 meeting.”
