CUSIP No. 882610108

This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) 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, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 1, 2019 and Amendment No. 3 filed on February 21, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 4, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D..

 

This Amendment No. 4 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. 4 is being filed to amend Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7 of the Schedule 13D as follows:

 

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:

 

On March 6, 2020, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Decision Period (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) was extended through March 20, 2020.

 

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified by the full text of such agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 8 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:

 

Percentages of the Shares outstanding reported in this Amendment No. 4 are calculated based upon the 7,756,156 Shares outstanding as of January 31, 2020, as reported in TPL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed by TPL with the SEC on February 27, 2020.

 

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 1,748,755 Shares (the “Horizon Shares”) representing approximately 22.5% of the outstanding Shares.  This number does not include approximately 23,362 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 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following:

 

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding thereto the following:
