Risk Factors.
−Removed: Except as provided
−Removed: below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Item 1A of the Trust’s 2019 Annual Report on
−Removed: COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect proceeds to the Trust and cash distributions to unitholders.
−Removed: recent outbreak of the novel form of coronavirus known as COVID-19 and its development into a global pandemic has had,
−Removed: and continues to have, a negative impact on worldwide economic and commercial activity and financial markets, as well as global
−Removed: demand for crude oil and natural gas.
−Removed: The West Texas Intermediate spot price of crude oil has dropped sharply from
−Removed: $61.17 per barrel on January 2, 2020 to $35.79 per barrel on October 30, 2020, but in the interim ranged widely in response
−Removed: to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the dispute over production levels between Russia and the members of OPEC.
−Removed: COVID-19 has resulted in widespread and localized health crises that adversely affect general commercial activity, the economies
−Removed: and financial markets of many countries and localities, as well as global demand for oil and natural gas.
−Removed: COVID-19 also has resulted
−Removed: in significant business and operational disruptions, including business closures, disruptions to supply chains, travel restrictions
−Removed: and limitations on the availability of workforces.
−Removed: The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and is rapidly evolving, and it is not
−Removed: possible to reliably estimate the impact that these developments will have on future periods.
−Removed: extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affects the operators of and production from the Underlying Properties
−Removed: will depend on the severity, location and duration of the effects and spread of COVID-19, the actions undertaken by federal,
−Removed: state and local governments and health officials to contain the virus or treat its effects, and how quickly and to what extent
−Removed: economic conditions improve and normal business and operating conditions resume.
−Removed: A prolonged period of low crude oil and
−Removed: natural gas prices will adversely affect the operators of the Underlying Properties.
−Removed: If commodity prices for crude oil and
−Removed: natural gas remain volatile and below historical levels, monthly cash distributions to unitholders will be substantially lower
−Removed: than historical distributions, and in certain periods there may be no distribution to unitholders.
−Removed: low oil and natural gas prices may ultimately reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that is economically viable to produce from
−Removed: the Underlying Properties.
−Removed: As a result, the operators of the Underlying Properties could determine during periods of low commodity
−Removed: prices to shut-in or curtail production from wells on the Underlying Properties, or even plug and abandon marginal wells that otherwise
−Removed: may have been allowed to continue to produce for a longer period under conditions of higher prices.
−Removed: Specifically, an operator may
−Removed: abandon any well or property if it reasonably believes that the well or property can no longer produce oil or natural gas in commercially
−Removed: paying quantities, which could result in termination of the Net Profits Interest relating to the abandoned well or property.
−Removed: downward revisions in actual production volumes relative to current forecasts, higher than expected operating costs, or lower than
−Removed: anticipated commodity prices could result in recognition of impairment in future periods.
−Removed: the extent COVID-19 adversely affects production from the Underlying Properties or the business, results of operations and financial
−Removed: condition of the operators of the Underlying Properties, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described
−Removed: in the Trust’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
−Removed: or willingness of OPEC and other oil exporting nations to set and maintain production levels has a significant impact on oil and
−Removed: natural gas commodity prices, which could reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Trust unitholders.
−Removed: is an intergovernmental organization that seeks to manage the price and supply of oil on the global energy market.
−Removed: Actions taken
−Removed: by OPEC members, including those taken alongside other oil exporting nations, have a significant impact on global oil supply and
−Removed: For example, OPEC and certain other oil exporting nations have previously agreed to take measures, including production
−Removed: cuts, to support crude oil prices.
−Removed: In March 2020, members of OPEC and Russia considered extending and potentially increasing these
−Removed: oil production cuts.
−Removed: However, those negotiations were unsuccessful.
−Removed: As a result, Saudi Arabia announced an immediate reduction
−Removed: in export prices and Russia announced that all previously agreed upon oil production cuts would expire on April 1, 2020.
−Removed: actions led to an immediate and steep decrease in oil prices, which briefly reached a closing NYMEX price low of negative $37.63
−Removed: per Bbl of crude oil in April 2020.
−Removed: Although OPEC has since agreed to certain production cuts, prices in the oil and gas market
−Removed: have remained depressed, as the oversupply and lack of demand in the market persist.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that OPEC members
−Removed: and other oil exporting nations will agree to future production cuts or other actions to support and stabilize oil prices, nor
−Removed: can there be any assurance that they will not further reduce oil prices or increase production.
−Removed: Uncertainty regarding future actions
−Removed: to be taken by OPEC members or other oil exporting countries could lead to increased volatility in the price of oil, which could
−Removed: adversely affect the financial condition and economic performance of the operators of the underlying properties and may reduce
−Removed: the net proceeds to which the Trust is entitled, which could materially reduce or completely eliminate the amount of cash available
−Removed: for distribution to Trust unitholders.
−Removed: cannot meet the New York Stock Exchange continued listing requirements, the NYSE may delist the Trust units.
−Removed: Under the continued
−Removed: listing requirements of the NYSE, a company will be considered to be out of compliance with the exchange’s minimum price
−Removed: requirement if the company’s average closing price over a consecutive 30 trading day period (“Average Closing Price”)
−Removed: is less than $1.00 (the “Minimum Price Requirement”).
−Removed: Under NYSE rules, a company that is out of compliance with
−Removed: the Minimum Price Requirement has a cure period of six months to regain compliance if it notifies the NYSE within 10 business days
−Removed: of receiving a deficiency notice of its intention to cure the deficiency.
−Removed: A company may regain compliance if on the last trading
−Removed: day of any calendar month during the cure period the company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing
−Removed: share price of at least $1.00 over the 30-trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.
−Removed: If at the expiration
−Removed: of the cure period, both a $1.00 closing share price on the last trading day of the cure period and a $1.00 average closing share
−Removed: price over the 30-trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the cure period are not attained, the NYSE will commence
−Removed: suspension and delisting procedures.
−Removed: If delisted by the NYSE, a company’s shares may be transferred to the over-the-counter

−Removed: to cause a reverse split of the units or to take similar action designed to affect the trading price of the units without a vote
−Removed: from the Trust unitholders.
−Removed: Even if the Trust does regain compliance, it might be unable to maintain compliance, and would again
−Removed: become subject to the NYSE delisting procedures.
