Item 5.03. |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On September 23, 2022, upon request of Simmons Bank, as trustee (the Trustee) of Marine Petroleum Trust (the
Trust), the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, 298th Judicial District approved an order modifying Article VI, Section 8 of the Trusts indenture to substitute United States for State of Texas so
that it permits a successor trustee of the Trust to be a national bank, state bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having unimpaired capital and surplus of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).
The modification to the indenture was in connection with the Trustees previous announcement that it has entered into an agreement with
Argent Trust Company, a Tennessee chartered trust company (Argent), pursuant to which the Trustee will be resigning as trustee of the Trust and had nominated Argent as successor trustee of the Trust. The Trustees resignation as
trustee, and Argents appointment as successor trustee, are subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement, including approval by the unitholders of certain other trusts of which Simmons Bank acts as trustee (or a court) of
(i) Argents appointment as successor trustee and (ii) any amendments to the trust agreements and indentures of the other trusts necessary to permit Argent to serve as successor trustee.
The full text of the indenture, as modified by the courts order is set forth in Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 9.01 |

(d) Exhibits
4.1* Indenture, as amended on September 23, 2022, of Marine Petroleum Trust.
Forward-looking Statements
Any
statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K about plans for the Trust, the expected timing of the completion (if any) of the proposed resignation of the Trustee or appointment of a successor trustee, and
other statements containing the words estimates, believes, anticipates, plans, expects, will, may, intends and similar expressions, other than historical
facts, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Factors or risks that could cause the Trusts actual results to differ materially from the
results it anticipates include, but are not limited to the inability of the Trustee to resign or Argent to assume duties as successor trustee due to the failure to satisfy certain conditions in the Trustees agreement with Argent.
Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. In addition, the forward-looking statements
included in the materials represent the Trustees views as of the date hereof. The Trustee anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its views to change. However, while the Trustee may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Trustees views as of any date subsequent to the date hereof.
