On November 23, 2022, TPL filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court (“the Court”) against Horizon Kinetics, LLC, Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, SoftVest Advisors LLC, and SoftVest, L.P. (collectively, the “Stockholder Defendants”) under the caption Texas Pacific Land Corporation v. Horizon Kinetics LLC, Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, SoftVest Advisors, LLC, and SoftVest L.P. (C.A. No. 2022-1066-JTL) (the “Action”). Horizon Kinetics LLC and Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC are affiliated with Murray Stahl, a member of the Board, and SoftVest Advisors, LLC and SoftVest L.P. are affiliated with Eric Oliver, a member of the Board. TPL filed the Action to resolve a disagreement with the Stockholder Defendants over their voting commitments pursuant to a Stockholders’ Agreement with the Company. A trial was held on April 17, 2023. On December 1, 2023, the Court ruled (the “Ruling”) that the Stockholder Defendants’ shares were deemed to have been voted in favor of Proposal Four, the Company’s proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, which the Court deemed approved by holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. The Ruling was appealed by the Stockholder Defendants, and on February 27, 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Ruling in favor of the Company.
