Litigation Settlement in Prior Month Distribution
A federal district court approved the settlement of a royalty class action lawsuit against XTO Energy Inc.
(Chieftain Royalty Company v. XTO Energy Inc.) in March 2018. In July 2018, the class plaintiffs submitted their plan to allocate the settlement funds among members of the class. After that plan of allocation was approved, XTO Energy advised the Trustee that, based upon that plan, approximately $40,000 should be allocated to the Trust as additional production costs.

The Trustee objected to similar claims relating to the
Chieftain settlement with respect to another trust for which it serves as trustee (the Hugoton Royalty Trust) in an arbitration styled Simmons Bank (successor to Southwest Bank and Bank of America, N.A.) vs. XTO Energy Inc. through the American Arbitration Association. The Trustee and XTO Energy entered into a settlement agreement on June 18, 2024, which resolved the issues subject to the arbitration. As a result, the September 2024 distribution included a $24,128 (net to the Trust) deduction allocated to the Trust as a production cost for the Chieftain settlement.

Excess Costs
XTO Energy has advised the Trustee that excess costs increased by $125,000 on properties underlying the Texas Working Interest net profits interests. However, these excess costs did not reduce net proceeds from the remaining conveyances. Underlying cumulative excess costs remaining on the Texas Working Interest net profits interests total $4,000,000, including accrued interest of $1,061,000.
