Corporate Reorganization

On January 11, 2021, TPL completed its Corporate Reorganization, officially changing its name to Texas Pacific Land Corporation. To implement the Corporate Reorganization, the Trust and TPL Corporation entered into agreements and undertook and caused to be undertaken a series of transactions to effect the transfer to TPL Corporation of all of the Trust’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Corporate Reorganization. The agreements entered into include a contribution agreement between the Trust and TPL Corporation. The Corporate Reorganization is a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Prior to the market opening on January 11, 2021, the Trust distributed all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of TPL Corporation (the “Common Stock”) to holders of sub-share certificates (“Sub-shares”), par value of $0.03-1/3, of the Trust, on a pro rata, one-for-one, basis in accordance with their interests in the Trust (the “Distribution”). As a result of the Distribution, TPL Corporation is now an independent public company and its Common Stock is listed under the symbol “TPL” on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Corporate Reorganization only affected our equity structure in that Sub-shares were replaced with shares of Common Stock and net proceeds from all sources were replaced with retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
