Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On June 7, 2017, Enduro Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) issued a press release announcing the entry by Enduro Resource Partners LLC (“Enduro”), the sponsor of the Trust, into eight separate purchase and sale agreements to divest certain acreage and associated production in the Permian Basin that constitutes part of the properties underlying the net profits interest held by the Trust (the “Divestiture Properties”). In connection with the proposed transactions, Enduro will seek, through a vote of the unitholders, a release of the Trust’s net profits interest in the Divestiture Properties in exchange for the Trust unitholders receiving 80% of the net proceeds from the sale of such Divestiture Properties.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

This communication does not constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval in respect of the proposed transactions as they affect the Trust and the release of its net profits interest. In connection with the proposed transactions, a meeting of the Trust’s unitholders will be announced to seek unitholder approval. The Trust intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement in connection with the proposed meeting of unitholders. UNITHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE RELEASE OF THE TRUST’S NET PROFIT INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO THE UNDERLYING PROPERTIES SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS. The proxy statement and other relevant materials (when they become available), and any other documents filed by the Trust with the SEC, may be obtained at no cost at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, at the Trust’s website at http://www.enduroroyaltytrust.com, or by sending written request to the Trust at The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Trustee, 919 Congress Avenue, Suite 500, Austin, Texas 78701.

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

The Trust may be deemed to be a participant in soliciting proxies from the Trust’s unitholders in connection with the proposed transactions and the release of the Trust’s net profits interest with respect to the Divestiture Properties. Information regarding the Trust that may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered to be a participant in any solicitation in connection with the proposed transactions will be contained in the proxy statement. Additional information can be obtained in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
