with relevant experience and expertise in energy, land and royalty management and executive leadership at the 2023 Annual Meeting
David E. Barry and John R. Norris III will retire
from the Board at the 2023 Annual Meeting
Company enters into a Cooperation Agreement
with Horizon Kinetics and SoftVest
DALLAS, AUGUST 1, 2023 – Texas Pacific Land Corporation
(NYSE: TPL) (the “Company” or “TPL”) today announced its slate of director nominees for election to the Company’s
board of directors (the “Board”) at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”).
The Company will nominate two new independent directors, Marguerite
Woung-Chapman and Robert Roosa, in addition to current director, Murray Stahl. The current directors and co-chairs of the Board, David
E. Barry and John R. Norris III, have announced their intention to retire at the 2023 Annual Meeting and will not stand for reelection.
The Board intends to announce new Board leadership following the 2023 Annual Meeting.
TPL’s new independent director nominees bring a strong and relevant
mix of skills and experiences, as well as proven track records of value creation, which the Board believes will enhance its oversight
of TPL’s strategy and performance:
| · | Ms. Woung-Chapman has extensive energy sector executive experience, having worked at and with oil and gas companies for more
than 30 years. Ms. Woung-Chapman currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Chord Energy (NASDAQ: CHRD) and Summit Midstream
Partners (NYSE: SMLP). She previously served as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Energy XXI Gulf Coast,
Inc. |

Officer of Brigham Royalties, LLC. He was previously the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Brigham Minerals, Inc., a public minerals
company, from 2017 to 2022. |
“We thank David and John for their dedication and years of service
to TPL and its shareholders, during which time they helped oversee substantial growth and value creation. We wish them all the best,"
said General Donald Cook, TPL director and chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee. “The Board looks forward to welcoming
Marguerite and Robert. We believe the Company and its shareholders will benefit greatly from their relevant experience and expertise as
we continue to execute TPL’s strategy and drive value for our shareholders.”
In connection with the Board changes, TPL has entered into a Cooperation
Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Horizon Kinetics LLC, SoftVest, L.P. and their affiliated funds (collectively,
the “Investor Group”), which includes, among other things, certain voting commitments and standstill and non-disparagement
provisions. The Cooperation Agreement will be filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Cooperation Agreement
has no impact on the litigation pending in Delaware Chancery Court between TPL and the Investor Group.
Evercore is serving as financial advisor to TPL, Sidley Austin LLP
is serving as legal advisor to TPL and Spotlight Advisors, LLC is serving as strategic advisor to TPL.
