This Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) relates to the sub-share certificates of proprietary interests (the “Shares”) of Texas Pacific Land Trust (“TPL”) and amends the Schedule
13D filed on March 15, 2019 as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 28, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 filed on August 1, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms
used and not defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D..
This Amendment No. 3 is being filed by (1) SoftVest Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (2) SoftVest, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SoftVest LP”), (3) Eric L. Oliver (“Mr.
Oliver”), (4) ART-FGT Family Partners Limited, a Wyoming limited partnership (“ART-FGT LP”), (5) Tessler Family Limited Partnership, a Wyoming limited partnership and (6) Allan R. Tessler.
This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to amend Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7 of the Schedule 13D as follows:
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:
On February 20, 2020, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Decision Period (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) was
extended through March 6, 2020.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified by the full text of such agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:
Percentages of the Shares outstanding reported in this Amendment No. 3 are calculated based upon the 7,756,156 Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2019, as reported in TPL’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, filed by TPL with the SEC on November 7, 2019.
ART-FGT LP beneficially owns 10,830 Shares (the “ART-FGT Shares”), which represent approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Shares. ART-FGT LP and Mr. Tessler share voting power and dispositive power with respect to
the ART-FGT Shares.
Mr. Tessler beneficially owns 12,130 Shares (representing approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Shares), which includes the ART-FGT Shares and the TF Shares (collectively, the “Tessler Shares”).
As a result of the Cooperation Agreement, Horizon and the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a “group” pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Act. The Shares reported in this Schedule 13D do not
include security interests owned by Horizon. Horizon has filed a separate amendment to its Schedule 13D reporting beneficial ownership of 1,750,858 Shares (the “Horizon Shares”) representing approximately 22.6% of the outstanding Shares.
This number does not include approximately 23,303 Shares held directly by senior portfolio managers of Horizon and their families. The Reporting Persons assume no responsibility for the information contained in any such Schedule 13D or any amendment
thereto.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:
The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 3 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits |
