Executive Summary
Permian Basin Royalty Trust filed an 8-K on May 6, 2026, announcing a one-hour time change for a May 8, 2026 court hearing (now 9:30 a.m. CT) related to SoftVest L.P.'s petition to amend the Trust's Indenture. The petition seeks to reduce the amendment approval threshold from 75% to a simple majority and remove protected provisions. This filing is a procedural update with no immediate financial impact, but the underlying litigation could alter trust governance if successful.
