On September 6, 2017, Enduro Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Enduro Operating”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national association organized under the laws of the State of New York (the “Trustee”), acting not in its individual capacity but solely as the trustee of Enduro Royalty Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), entered into the First Amendment to Conveyance of Net Profits Interest (the “Conveyance Amendment”).  The Conveyance Amendment amends that certain Conveyance of Net Profits Interest executed as of November 8, 2011, as supplemented by the Supplement to Conveyance of Net Profits Interest executed as of November 8, 2011 (as supplemented, the “Conveyance”).  The execution of the Conveyance Amendment by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust was approved by the Trust’s unitholders (the “Unitholders”) at the Special Meeting of Unitholders held on August 30, 2017 (the “Special Meeting”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Conveyance, the Trust owns a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits (the “Net Profits Interest”) from the sale of oil and natural gas produced from certain properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico (the “Underlying Properties”) held by Enduro Resource Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Enduro”) and its affiliates.  The Conveyance allowed Enduro to sell interests in the Underlying Properties free and clear of the Net Profits Interest subject to certain limitations.  The Conveyance Amendment amended the Conveyance to allow Enduro to sell, free and clear of the Net Profits Interest, interests in the Underlying Properties in excess of such limitations with the approval of Unitholders holding at least 50% of the then outstanding units of the Trust at a meeting held in accordance with the requirements of the trust agreement of the Trust.  The Conveyance Amendment made other conforming amendments to the Conveyance regarding the distribution of any proceeds from such an authorized disposition of the Underlying Properties.

 

The foregoing description of the Conveyance Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the Conveyance Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On September 6, 2017, Enduro Operating and the Trustee, acting not in its individual capacity but solely as the trustee of the Trust, entered into the Partial Release, Reconveyance and Termination Agreement (the “Partial Release”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Partial Release, the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, reconveyed, terminated, remised, quitclaimed and released to Enduro Operating the Net Profits Interest with respect to certain of the Underlying Properties (the “Divestiture Properties”) sold pursuant to eight letter agreements or purchase and sale agreements, as applicable, (the “Transaction Agreements”) entered into between Enduro Operating and the following counterparties: (i) Chisholm Energy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) OXY USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (iii) Forge Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (iv) Summit West Resources LP, a Texas limited partnership, (v) DE Midland III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (vi) Parsley Energy, L.P., a Texas limited partnership, (vii) Tracker Resource Development III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and (viii) QEP Energy Company, a Texas corporation.  The release of the Net Profits Interest associated with the Divestiture Properties was approved by the Unitholders at the Special Meeting.

On September 6, 2017, Enduro, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware trustee of the Trust, and the Trustee, acting not in its individual capacity but solely as trustee of the Trust, entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”).  The Trust Agreement Amendment amends that certain Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of Enduro Royalty Trust dated as of November 3, 2011 (the “Trust Agreement”).

 

Consistent with the Conveyance, the Trust Agreement allowed the sale of the Underlying Properties free and clear of the Net Profits Interest subject to certain limitations.  The Trust Agreement Amendment amends  the Trust Agreement to allow Enduro to sell, free and clear of the Net Profits Interest, interests in the Underlying Properties in excess of such limitations if Unitholders holding at least 50% of the then outstanding units of the Trust approve such sale at a meeting held in accordance with the requirements of the Trust Agreement.  This amendment reduced the required approval level from 75% to 50% of then outstanding units of the Trust.  The execution of the Trust Agreement Amendment was approved by the Unitholders at the Special Meeting.

 

The Trust Agreement Amendment also amended provisions of the Trust Agreement regarding the payment of costs and expenses incurred in connection with any future special meeting that is held to seek approval for future sales of Underlying Properties free and clear of the Net Profits Interest.  As amended, the Trust Agreement now provides that if the proposed sale of the Underlying Properties being considered at such special meeting is approved by the Unitholders, the Trust will pay 80% of the costs associated with any such special meeting and Enduro will pay 20% of such costs.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED TRUST AGREEMENT OF

ENDURO ROYALTY TRUST

 

This First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of Enduro Royalty Trust dated as of November 3, 2011 (the “Agreement”) is entered into on September 6, 2017 but effective for all purposes as of August 30, 2017 by and among Enduro Resource Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Enduro”), Wilmington Trust Company, a trust company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Wilmington Trust”), as Delaware Trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national association organized under the laws of the State of New York (the “Bank”), as Trustee.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

WHEREAS , at a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the Trust Unitholders held on August 30, 2017, the Trust Unitholders approved amendments to the Agreement as more specifically set forth in the Trust’s Notice of Special Meeting of Unitholders and proxy statement dated July 11, 2017;

 

WHEREAS , Enduro, the Bank, acting in its capacity as Trustee, and Wilmington Trust, acting in its capacity as the Delaware Trustee, now desire to amend the Agreement to reflect the amendments approved by the Trust Unitholders at the Special Meeting;

 

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the above premises, Enduro, the Bank, acting in its capacity as Trustee, and Wilmington Trust, acting in its capacity as the Delaware Trustee, hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

 

Section 1.                                            Amendments to Agreement.   The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

A.                                     Section 3.02 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

 

Section 3.02                              Limited Power of Disposition.

 

(a)                                  The Trustee shall not release, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, all or any portion of the Net Profits Interest, or any interest therein, except that the Trustee is directed to release, sell and convey all or any portion of the Net Profits Interest as provided in Section 3.02(b) , Section 3.02(c) , Section 3.02(d ), Section 3.07 or Section 9.03 , as applicable.  No Trust Unitholder approval shall be required for any release, sale or conveyance of the Net Profits Interest under Section 3.02(c ), Section 3.07 or Section 9.03 , as applicable.

 

(b)                                  In the event that Enduro notifies the Trustee that it desires the Trustee to sell or dispose of (except for releases, which are addressed under Section 3.02(c)  or Section 3.02(d) ) all or any part of the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, all or any portion of the Net Profits Interest, or any interest therein, the Trustee shall sell the applicable portion of the Trust Estate for cash if approved by the Trust Unitholders of record holding at least 75% of the then outstanding Trust Units at a meeting held in accordance with the requirements of Article VIII.  This Section 3.02(b)  shall not be construed to require approval of the Trust Unitholders for any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 3.02(c) , Section 3.07 or Section 9.03 .

 



 

(c)                                   Enduro and its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time sell a divided or undivided portion of their interests in the Underlying Properties, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest (without the consent of the Trustee), subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(i)                                     no sale of a portion of Enduro’s or its Affiliates’ interests in the Underlying Properties shall be permitted under this paragraph (c) if (A) the sale is to a Person who is an Affiliate of Enduro, (B) the sale relates to an interest in the Underlying Properties that accounted for in excess of 0.25% of the total production from the Underlying Properties during the most recently completed 12 calendar months or (C) the aggregate Fair Value of all portions of the Net Profits Interest released by the Trustee pursuant to this paragraph (c) would exceed $500,000 during any consecutive 12-month period;

 

(ii)                                  in connection with any sale pursuant to this paragraph (c), the Gross Fair Value of the portion of the Net Profits Interest released by the Trustee shall be an “Offset Amount” (as defined in the Conveyance) against the Gross Deductions when determining the amount of cash attributable to the Net Profits Interest; and

 

(iii)                               the Trustee shall have received a certificate from Enduro certifying to the Trustee and the Trust that the amount to be offset pursuant to clause (ii) above represents the Gross Fair Value of the portion of the Net Profits Interest to be released by the Trustee.

 

Upon receipt of (a) written notice of such a sale given by Enduro or its Affiliates, (b) an accurate description of the Net Profits Interest to be conveyed, and (c) a certification of Enduro or other sufficient information to evidence conclusively that the conditions to transfer described in the Conveyance and in this paragraph (c) have been satisfied, the Trustee shall (subject to clauses (i) through (iii) above) terminate and release the Net Profits Interest with respect to the applicable Underlying Properties through execution and delivery of a Trustee Release at the closing of such sale, and such other instruments, agreements and documents as Enduro or its Affiliates may reasonably request, to evidence or effect the transfer of such portion of Enduro’s or its Affiliates’ interests in the Underlying Properties, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest.

 

(d)                                  Notwithstanding Section 3.02(c)  to the contrary, Enduro and its Affiliates may from time to time sell a divided or undivided portion of their interests in the Underlying Properties, free from and unburdened by the Net Profits Interest, with the approval of Trust Unitholders of record holding at least 50% of the then outstanding Trust Units at a meeting held in accordance with the requirements of Article VIII .  The proceeds of any sale approved by the Trust Unitholders as set forth in this Section 3.02(d)  shall be distributed in the manner approved by such Trust Unitholders at such meeting.

 

(e)                                   Following the sale of all or any portion of the Underlying Properties, Enduro will be relieved of its obligations with respect to the Net Profits Interest that burdens such portion of the Underlying Properties.  Promptly after completion of any such sale, Enduro shall so notify the Trustee in writing.  Any purchaser of such Underlying Properties shall be the assignee of Enduro to the extent of the interest sold and shall be bound by the obligations of Enduro under this Agreement and the Conveyance to such extent.

 

(f)                                    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not agree to any distribution of the Net Profits Interest or any other asset of the Trust that would cause the interest of a Trust Unitholder to be treated (except for tax purposes) as an interest other than an

 

2



 

intangible personal property interest.  Unless required to sell pursuant to this Section 3.02 , or pursuant to Section 3.07 or Section 9.03 , or to distribute the Monthly Cash Distribution pursuant to Section 5.02 , the Trustee is authorized to retain any part of the Trust Estate in the form in which such property was transferred to the Trustee, without regard to any requirement to diversify investments or other requirements.

 

(g)                                   Any conveyance, transfer or other disposition not expressly addressed in this Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of the Conveyance.  In the event that there is a conflict between the provisions of the Conveyance and this Agreement, the provisions of the Conveyance shall control to the extent of such conflict.

Enduro Royalty Trust Announces Closing of Permian Basin Divestitures

 

AUSTIN, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)—September 12, 2017

 

Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) today announced that Enduro Resource Partners LLC (“Enduro”), the sponsor of the Trust, has advised The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, that Enduro 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 August 30, 2017, the Trust unitholders approved (i) eight transactions pursuant to which Enduro would sell the Divestiture Properties, (ii) the release of the Trust’s 80% net profits interest in the Divestiture Properties, and (iii) related proposals to effect the sale transactions in exchange for the Trust receiving 80% of the net proceeds of the sale of the Divestiture Properties.

 

The total proceeds received by Enduro from the Divestiture Properties, after preliminary closing adjustments, were approximately $49.1 million. Enduro will deduct final transaction expenses from the sales proceeds, along with an escrow amount of $750,000 to cover possible indemnification obligations under the purchase and sale agreements, to arrive at final net proceeds, of which 80% will be paid to Trust unitholders. Enduro will set a record date and the special distribution will be paid to Trust unitholders on or before October 27, 2017. Within 25 months of the closing of the transactions, any remaining amount held in the escrow will be released and included in a distribution to unitholders.

 

About Enduro Royalty Trust

 

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed by Enduro to own a net profits interest representing the right to receive 80% of the net profits from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain of Enduro’s properties in the states of Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. As described in the Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the amount of the periodic distributions is expected to fluctuate, depending on the proceeds received by the Trust as a result of actual production volumes, oil and gas prices, the amount and timing of capital expenditures, and the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors.  Future distributions are expected to be made on a monthly basis.  For additional information on the Trust, please visit www.enduroroyaltytrust.com.
