In Memoriam
[MISSING IMAGE: ph_murraystahl-4c.jpg]
MURRAY STAHL
Director
On April 7, 2026, Murray Stahl, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, passed away. Mr. Stahl was the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and Chief Investment Strategist of Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation, which, through various owned subsidiaries, is the Company’s largest stockholder.
Ty Glover, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “Murray was a tremendous advocate for TPL from the very day I joined the Company. His firm, Horizon Kinetics, along with its predecessors, had been TPL’s largest shareholder for many decades. Murray believed in the Company when it was still a thinly-traded, little-known trust that simply owned some land in west Texas. Today, TPL stands as one of the largest publicly-traded energy companies in the world — a transformation that seemed inconceivable to almost everyone just a decade ago. Everyone, that is, except Murray. He was a true independent thinker and a visionary who saw what others could not. I am saddened by his sudden passing, and I will miss his presence in the boardroom and outside of it. On behalf of the entire Company, I offer our condolences to Murray’s family.”
Rhys Best, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, stated, “We will be forever grateful to Murray for his dedication and contribution to TPL. It has been a privilege for me and the other Board members to work alongside Murray. He will be greatly missed.”

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING
This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is being furnished to the stockholders of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (the “Company,” “TPL,” “we,” “our” or “us”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The proxies are for use at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on November 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Central Time (including any adjournment, postponement or continuation thereof, the “Annual Meeting”) at the Marriott Dallas Uptown, 3033 Fairmount Street, Dallas, Texas 75201.
Your vote is extremely important no matter how many shares you own. We hope you will attend the Annual Meeting. However, whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please promptly vote your shares by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable.
The Company consummated its corporate reorganization from a trust to a corporation (the “Corporate Reorganization”) on January 11, 2021. The trust, known as Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”) from its inception in 1888 until the Corporate Reorganization, was reorganized into a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and named Texas Pacific Land Corporation. Any references in this Proxy Statement to the Company, TPL, we, our or us with respect to periods prior to January 11, 2021, refer to the Trust, and references to periods on that date and thereafter refer to Texas Pacific Land Corporation.
The proxy materials were first sent or made available to stockholders on or about [•], 2026.
THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS” FORMAT BELOW IS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE AND INCLUDES ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. YOU SHOULD READ THIS ENTIRE PROXY STATEMENT CAREFULLY.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
You are receiving these proxy materials because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.
Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
We are using the Internet as the primary means of delivering proxy materials to our stockholders. We are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) to our stockholders of record with instructions on how to access the proxy materials online at www.proxyvote.com. This Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”) are also included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which you can access electronically at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and are also available on our corporate website at www.TexasPacific.com.
Stockholders may follow the instructions in the Notice of Internet Availability to elect to receive future proxy materials in print by mail or electronically by email. We encourage stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials online to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings and reduce our printing and mailing costs.
What are the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and what are the Board’s voting recommendations?

is entitled to one vote. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Delaware Charter”) prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors.
How can I attend the Annual Meeting?
The Annual Meeting will be held on November 5, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time, at the Marriott Dallas Uptown, 3033 Fairmount Street, Dallas, Texas 75201. Only our stockholders of record as of the Record Date and invited guests of the Company will be permitted to attend the Annual Meeting. In order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must present a government-issued form of picture identification. If you have requested to receive proxy materials by mail, your proxy card enclosed with this Proxy Statement will ask you to indicate if you intend to attend the Annual Meeting; please complete that section so that we may plan accordingly. If you are a stockholder of record, your name will be checked against our list of stockholders of record on the Record Date. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee, which is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As a result, your name does not appear on our list of stockholders. If your Common Stock is held in “street name,” in order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, in addition to a voting instruction form and government- issued form of picture identification, you should bring with you a letter or account statement showing that you were the beneficial owner of the Common Stock as of the Record Date.
The Annual Meeting will be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Conduct established by the Company and posted on the investor relations page of our corporate website prior to the Annual Meeting. Stockholders are encouraged to arrive early to complete registration and security procedures. Admission after commencement of the Annual Meeting may be restricted.
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner in “street name”?
Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
Stockholder of Record.   If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered, with respect to such shares, the stockholder of record, and the proxy materials are being provided directly to you by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote in person at the meeting or to grant your voting proxy directly to us.
Beneficial Owner.   If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials are being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee, which is considered, with respect to such shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner of shares, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting; however, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a written proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. For more information on how you may vote your shares, see “If I am a beneficial owner, how do I vote?” below.
If I am a beneficial owner, how do I vote?
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. As the beneficial owner of your shares, you are entitled to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. You may instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote by completing the voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. You may also vote by telephone or via the Internet if your broker, bank or other nominee makes such methods available, in which case applicable instructions will be provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee.
How do I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?
First, you must satisfy the requirements for admission to the Annual Meeting. Then, if you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by ballot at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may vote shares held in “street name” at the Annual Meeting only if you bring to the Annual Meeting a signed proxy from the record holder (your broker, bank or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares, which must be submitted with your ballot at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote in advance so that your vote will be counted in case you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting, as well as to facilitate the tabulation of votes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING
How do I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?
If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by granting a proxy using any of the following methods:

By Internet — By submitting your proxy via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com.

By Telephone — If you have requested to receive proxy materials by mail, by following the telephone voting instructions included on the enclosed proxy card.

By Mail — If you have requested to receive proxy materials by mail, by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card where indicated, and by mailing or otherwise returning the proxy card in the envelope provided to you. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), indicate your name and title or capacity.
Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 10:59 p.m. Central Time on November 4, 2026 for the voting of shares held by stockholders of record. Mailed proxy cards should be returned in the envelope provided to you with your proxy card and must be received by November 4, 2026.
Your vote is important, and we strongly encourage you to vote your shares by following the instructions provided on the Notice of Internet Availability or your proxy card. Please vote promptly.
If your shares are held in “street name,” your broker, bank or other nominee should give you instructions for voting your shares. You may be able to vote via the Internet, by telephone or by mail by submitting a voting instruction form to your broker, bank or other nominee by the deadline indicated in such voting instruction form.
The Board has designated our Chief Executive Officer, Tyler Glover, and our Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, Micheal Dobbs, and each or either of them, as proxies to vote the shares of Common Stock at the Annual Meeting.
How can I ask questions at the Annual Meeting?
You may ask questions relating to any matter being considered at the Annual Meeting in person at the Annual Meeting or by submitting your questions in advance by email to AnnualMeetingTPL@texaspacific.com until 11:59 p.m. Central Time on November 4, 2026. The question-and-answer session will be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Conduct of the Annual Meeting. These Rules of Conduct will be posted on the investor relations page of our corporate website prior to the Annual Meeting and may include certain procedural requirements. We will endeavor to respond at the Annual Meeting to questions that are submitted in accordance with the Rules of Conduct. We may not be able to answer every question submitted, in which case, we may address unanswered questions with the stockholder submitting the question after the Annual Meeting.
What constitutes a quorum?
A majority of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting in order to have a quorum for the transaction of business. If there is no quorum, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned to a subsequent date for the purpose of obtaining a quorum. As of the Record Date, 68,974,683 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
The independent inspector of elections will determine whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares on any of the proposals, and your broker, bank or other nominee submits a proxy with respect to your shares on a matter with respect to which discretionary voting is permitted (as discussed below), your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. In addition, stockholders of record who are present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, whether or not such holders abstain from voting on any or all of the proposals.
How many votes are required to approve each proposal?
Proposal 1:   Directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on the election of directors. The Company’s Fourth Amended

Texas Pacific Land Corporation | Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING
and Restated Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”) provide for a “majority vote policy.” Under this policy, any nominee for director in an uncontested election who does not receive a majority of the votes cast and is an incumbent director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation, subject to acceptance by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will then act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose its decision regarding the tendered resignation within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation.
Proposal 2:   Approval of executive compensation (on a non-binding advisory basis) requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. If your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting but you “ABSTAIN” from voting on Proposal 2, the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes (if any) will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Because your vote on this matter is advisory, it will not be binding on the Company or the Board. However, the Compensation Committee will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.
Proposal 3:   Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. If your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting but you “ABSTAIN” from voting on Proposal 3, the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal, broker non-votes are not applicable to this proposal.
Proposal 4:   Approval of the redomestication of the Company from Delaware to Texas by conversion requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on such proposal. If your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting but you “ABSTAIN” from voting on Proposal 4, the abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes (if any) will have the same effect as votes against Proposal 4.
What is a broker non-vote?
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Under applicable rules that govern brokers, banks and other nominees who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers, banks and other nominees ordinarily have the discretion to vote on “routine” matters, but not on “non-routine” matters.
The vote on Proposals 1, 2 and 4 are considered “non-routine.” Accordingly, beneficial owners who do not provide voting instructions to their brokers, banks or other nominees on these proposals will not have their shares voted with respect to such proposals. Proposal 3 constitutes a “routine” proposal. Accordingly, brokers, banks and other nominees that do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners may vote on such proposal in their discretion.
May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation at any time before its use by:

Delivering written notice of the revocation to the Company’s Secretary at 2699 Howell Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75204;

Delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date than the proxy that you wish to revoke;

Submitting a later dated proxy over the telephone or Internet in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card; or

Attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, bank or other nominee, then you must follow the specific instructions, including applicable deadlines, provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee to change or revoke any instructions you have already provided to your broker, bank or other nominee. If you have obtained a voting

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT OUR ANNUAL MEETING
instruction form from your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares, you may change your vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person if you provide a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Attending the Annual Meeting in and of itself will not constitute a revocation of a proxy.
What happens if I return a proxy card but do not specify how I want my shares voted?
If you are a stockholder of record who returns a signed proxy card that does not specify how you want to vote your shares on one or more proposals, the proxies designated on the proxy card will vote your shares for each proposal as to which you did not provide any voting instructions, and such shares will be voted in the following manner:

Proposal 1 — FOR the nine (9) director nominees listed in Proposal 1 to serve until the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders;

Proposal 2 — FOR the approval, by non-binding advisory vote, of the executive compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers;

Proposal 3 — FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026; and

Proposal 4 — FOR approval of the redomestication of the Company from Delaware to Texas by conversion.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and do not provide voting instructions on one or more proposals, your broker, bank or other nominee may be unable to vote your shares on all of the proposals other than Proposal 3. See “What is a broker non-vote?” above.
What if I receive more than one set of proxy materials from the Company?
If your shares are held in more than one account, you will receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability (or, if you have requested to receive proxy materials by mail, more than one proxy card), and in that case, you can and are urged to vote all of your shares by following the instructions on each Notice of Internet Availability (or, if applicable, proxy card) you receive. Only your latest dated proxy for each account will count. Please sign each proxy card exactly as your name or names appear on the proxy card. For joint accounts, each owner should sign the proxy card. When signing as an executor, administrator, attorney, trustee, guardian or other representative, please print your full name and title on the proxy card.
How may I obtain a stockholder list?
A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days ending on the day before the date of the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at the Company’s offices at 2699 Howell Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75204.
Where can I find the voting results of the meeting?
We plan to publish the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we expect to file with the SEC within four business days following the end of the Annual Meeting.
How are proxies being solicited?
Proxies may be solicited by certain of the Company’s directors, officers and administrative personnel, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone, e-mail or facsimile. In addition, we have engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated as a paid solicitor in connection with the Annual Meeting. The anticipated cost of such service is approximately $50,000. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by us. We expect to reimburse brokerage firms, banks, custodians and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in forwarding solicitation material to such beneficial owners.
What is “householding” and will it apply to me?
Some banks, brokers and other record holders use the practice of “householding” notices, proxy statements and annual reports. “Householding” is the term used to describe the practice of delivering a single set of notices, proxy statements

and annual reports to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if a company reasonably believes the stockholders are members of the same family. This procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces a company’s printing and mailing costs. We will promptly deliver an additional copy of any such document to any stockholder who submits a request, in writing or orally, to receive additional copies. Alternatively, if you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our notices, proxy statements and annual reports, you may contact us to request delivery of a single copy of these materials. Any requests for additional or single copies should be directed to Investor Relations at 2699 Howell Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75204 or by calling (214) 969-5530.
Are stockholders entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with any proposals?
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Delaware Charter, stockholders are not entitled to any appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.
What is the deadline for receipt of director nominations and stockholder proposals to be presented at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders?
On May 6, 2026, the Company announced that it intends to hold its 2027 annual meeting of stockholders on May 6, 2027. Since we are holding our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders on a date that is more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Annual Meeting, in order for any stockholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement to be issued in connection with the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, such stockholder proposal must be received a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. The Company will consider proposals received on or before November 27, 2026, as having been received within a reasonable time and may exclude proposals received after such date. Any such stockholder proposal submitted, including any accompanying supporting statement, may not exceed 500 words, as per Rule 14a-8(d) of the Exchange Act.
Since we are holding our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders on a date that is more than 30 before the anniversary of the Annual Meeting, any director nominations or stockholder proposals submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 that a stockholder intends to bring forth at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders will be untimely unless it is received between January 6, 2027 and February 5, 2027 in accordance with the Delaware Bylaws or the Texas Bylaws (as defined herein), as applicable. The notice must include the information specified in our Delaware Bylaws or the Texas Bylaws (as defined herein), as applicable.
Stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice to the Secretary of the Company that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act in accordance with and within the time period prescribed in the advance notice provisions of our Delaware Bylaws. Any changes to such dates will be disclosed in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, or in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2
NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Pursuant to Section 14A(a)(1) of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to vote to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the executive compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.
We believe that our executive compensation programs must be closely linked to our stockholders’ interests, and we welcome our stockholders’ input in this area. In the last several years, we have engaged in significant stockholder outreach regarding our executive compensation program, including directly contacting many of our stockholders, hosting stockholder meetings regarding executive compensation with independent members of our Board and senior management, and soliciting stockholder feedback on executive compensation through a third-party perception survey. Feedback from these efforts has been discussed with management and relayed to the full Board and the relevant committees of the Board. After careful consideration of the feedback received, our Board and management team have taken various actions to enhance our compensation policies in the last several years. For more information, see the section titled “Corporate Governance and Board Structure — Stockholder Engagement and Communications with Directors” in this Proxy Statement.
Our compensation programs are intended to attract, motivate, and retain the individuals we need to drive business success. Please read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and accompanying narrative for a detailed description of the fiscal year 2025 compensation of our Named Executive Officers. We believe that the 2025 compensation of each of our Named Executive Officers was reasonable and appropriate and was aligned with the Company’s 2025 results.
The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers. This vote is advisory only and is not binding on the Company or the Board. Although the vote is non-binding, our Board values the opinions of our stockholders, and the Board and the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our Named Executive Officers.
At the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, a majority of the votes cast voted in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every year. The Board considered these voting results and decided to adopt a policy providing for an annual advisory stockholder vote to approve our executive compensation. The next stockholder advisory vote to approve executive compensation is expected to occur at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, and the next advisory vote to determine the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is expected to occur at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote in favor of the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the executive compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board has selected Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, subject to ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Deloitte has been our independent registered public accounting firm since April 2021. A representative of Deloitte is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Although ratification is not required by our Delaware Bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice and because we value our stockholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Deloitte, it will be considered a recommendation to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection of Deloitte is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. More information about our independent registered public accounting firm is available under the heading “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on page 103 below.
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal. Because brokers have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal, broker non-votes are not applicable to this proposal.

PROPOSAL 4
APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS BY CONVERSION
Introduction
After careful consideration, the Board has approved, subject to stockholder approval, the redomestication by way of conversion of the Company from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Corporation”) to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas (the “Texas Corporation”). The Company refers to the proposed redomestication of the Delaware Corporation by way of a conversion into the Texas Corporation as the “Texas Redomestication” and the proposal as the “Texas Redomestication Proposal.”
The Board has determined that the Texas Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends that stockholders approve the Texas Redomestication Proposal and adopt the resolutions of the Board approving the Texas Redomestication attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement, for the reasons set forth below.
Reasons for the Texas Redomestication
The Board’s determination that the Texas Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and the Board’s decision to recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to approve the Texas Redomestication, were the result of extensive deliberation and consideration, including discussions with management and legal counsel. As described further below, the Board believes that, given the Company’s deep ties to Texas and significant presence in the state, as well as recent developments in Texas’s legal framework, the Texas Redomestication will further the ability of the Board and management to execute the Company’s strategy and generate long-term stockholder value. In this regard, the Board considered the following factors, among others:

Texas is, and has always been, the Company’s home. The Texas Redomestication would align the Company’s legal home with its roots, physical footprint and long-standing operational nexus, reinforcing a commitment already demonstrated through decades of investment in the state’s economy.

Texas law is expected to provide greater certainty for Board and management decision-making, particularly with respect to innovative, large-scale strategic actions and the limitation of frivolous litigation, while retaining comparable rights for stockholders.

Incorporating in Texas will deepen the Company’s ties to state and local communities, including government officials, employees, and other stakeholders that are integral to the Company’s long-term success and competitive positioning.

Texas provides a more business-friendly environment and lower operating costs compared to Delaware.
Texas Is, and Has Been for More Than 130 Years, TPL’s Home
The Company’s connections to the State of Texas are central to the Company’s identity and strategy. The Company was originally organized as Texas Pacific Land Trust under a Declaration of Trust, dated February 1, 1888 (the “Declaration of Trust”), to receive and hold title to extensive tracts of land that were previously property of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. For nearly 140 years, TPL has been one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas and today owns approximately 894,000 acres in the State of Texas.
The Company’s physical headquarters, business operations, executive management team, employees and a majority of the Board members are based in Texas. The Company’s Board meetings and the Company’s annual stockholders’ meetings have historically been held in Texas. Virtually all of the Company’s land holdings, which are the foundation of its business and the value it has created for stockholders, are located in Texas. Operationally and practically, Texas is the Company’s home.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS BY CONVERSION
The Texas Redomestication would formalize and strengthen the Company’s longstanding connection and commitment to the State of Texas, align the Company’s governance, legal framework and operations with its culture, history, identity, strategic position and home and, importantly, allow stockholders to enjoy the benefits that come from such consistency.
The Company’s History as a Delaware Corporation
From 1888 through 2021, the Company operated as a business trust. On June 23, 2019, the Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) formed the Conversion Exploration Committee (the “Conversion Committee”) to assist the Trustees in evaluating of whether the Trust should take steps to effect the corporate reorganization and become a corporation with shares publicly traded on a national stock exchange or remain a business trust (with potential amendments to the Declaration of Trust). The Conversion Committee was initially composed of the Trustees, current Board member General Donald G. Cook, USAF (Ret.) and several large sub-share certificate holders. After much study and deliberation, on January 21, 2020, the Conversion Committee recommended to the Trustees that the Trust approve a plan of corporate reorganization that included reorganizing the Trust into a Delaware corporation. In 2021, the Trust reorganized from a business trust to a Delaware corporation. Delaware was selected as the Company’s state of incorporation due to the predictability and responsiveness of the Delaware legal regime for corporations. However, since the Company’s incorporation, the legal framework in Texas has evolved in a manner which is expected to provide significant benefits for the Company and its stockholders.
Prior to the reorganization, the Trust had no connection to the state of Delaware. Other than its state of incorporation, the Company has no current connection with, nexus to, or meaningful presence in the State of Delaware. The Company does not do business in Delaware and has no assets in Delaware. The Company’s executives and management do not operate in Delaware, and the Company does not hold Board meetings in Delaware.
Texas’s Business-Friendly Mindset and Policies Support the Company’s Growth and Value Generation
Texas is one of the world’s largest economies and is widely recognized as one of the most business-friendly states in the country. The State of Texas has developed common-sense policies that support business investment, job creation and technological innovation and has demonstrated a willingness to engage with corporations and implement regulations that reflect practical considerations and support stockholder value. The State of Texas’s regulatory framework emphasizes practical and efficient governance, minimizing unnecessary administrative burdens and compliance costs. The Board believes that Texas’s economic policies and environment provides a strong foundation for long-term growth and may enhance long-term stockholder value.
Texas Has Modern and Effective Corporate Law that Provides Greater Certainty for Decision-Making
As a result of amendments to modernize the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) in 2025 (the “Texas Law Amendments”), which are further described below, Texas has emerged as a leading jurisdiction of incorporation for public companies. The Board believes that recent changes in Texas law, which created a specialized business court (the “Texas Business Court”), increased statutory clarity and codified key protections for boards and stockholders, offer Texas-domiciled corporations key advantages over those incorporated in Delaware.
Delaware case law is fact-specific, with the Delaware Chancery Court wielding significant influence and ability to change corporate law without notice, and without first giving corporations the opportunity to deliver feedback. In contrast, Texas has corporate code that has clearly defined actions that will result in director liability, which the Board expects to provide stability and freedom to act decisively to create stockholder value.
The Texas Law Amendments included Texas Senate Bill 29, effective May 14, 2025, which expressly codified the business judgment rule for publicly traded Texas corporations (and other Texas corporations that opt in). This codification creates a statutory presumption that directors and officers act in good faith, on an informed basis, in the best interests of the corporation, and in compliance with the entity’s governing documents when making business decisions. This codification would, if the Texas Redomestication is approved, give the Company and its stockholders greater certainty about how courts will review board decisions, replacing standards that are subject to judicial interpretation with clear statutory rules that protect good faith judgments made in a dynamic and complex business environment. The Texas Law Amendments also provide additional statutory protections for directors and officers against stockholder claims for breach of the duty of care and, subject to specified conditions, permit a Texas corporation to limit or eliminate the liability of its officers for monetary damages for certain acts or omissions in their officer capacities. These additional protections are expected to support the Company’s ability to attract and retain top talent necessary to oversee and drive strategic execution and reduce the risk that defensive decision-making could detract from the creation of stockholder value.
In conjunction with the Texas Law Amendments, Texas established the Texas Business Court to preside over certain corporate and commercial claims, analogous to Delaware’s Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) and presided over

by judges with substantial experience in complex civil litigation and business disputes. The Board expects that establishing an exclusive forum in the Texas Business Court will provide the Company with a reliable and expert forum for efficient dispute resolution.
In sum, the Board considered that Texas’s statute-based approach of defining key requirements for internal management of a corporation’s affairs reduces reliance on judicial discretion and therefore offers potentially more predictable standards to guide corporate conduct, compared to Delaware’s case-law focused approach.
Redomestication Preserves Important Stockholder Economic and Voting Rights
The Board expressly considered stockholders’ rights under Delaware law and Texas law and believes that the economic and voting rights of stockholders would, on balance, be reasonably comparable as a result of the proposed Texas Redomestication (as summarized below in the section titled “Comparison of Stockholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law”). For example, both Delaware and Texas allow similar rules on the removal of directors with or without cause, voting thresholds for charter and bylaw amendments, blank check preferred stock, stock buybacks, distribution of dividends, and appraisal rights for certain corporate actions.
The proposed Texas certificate of formation (the “Texas Certificate of Formation”) and the proposed Texas bylaws (the “Texas Bylaws,” together with the Texas Certificate of Formation, the “Texas Governing Documents”) have been drafted with an intent to generally preserve the current Delaware Charter and the current Delaware Bylaws and to retain comparable stockholder economic and voting rights to the extent the Board deemed appropriate. The Texas Governing Documents are included as Appendix D and Appendix E to this Proxy Statement. Where there appear to be distinctions between Delaware corporate law and Texas corporate law, the Board concluded that most were differences in default rules that were either not material to the Company or could be reconciled by choices in the Texas Governing Documents (see the section titled “Certain Differences Between Delaware Charter and Bylaws and Texas Certificate of Formation and Bylaws” below for the Company’s summary of certain key differences between the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws and the Texas Certificate of Formation and Texas Bylaws, respectively).
Importantly, while the Texas Redomestication would change the Company’s state of incorporation, it would not change the Company’s commitment to effective governance or accountability to stockholders. The Texas Governing Documents maintain the Company’s majority voting standard for uncontested direction elections, annually elected directors and proxy access and preserve the ability of stockholders to call special meetings. The Company is not adopting any elective provisions of the TBOC that weaken stockholder rights as compared to Delaware law in connection with the Texas Redomestication.
Nor would the Texas Redomestication change the Company’s commitment to effective communication with stockholders. The Company welcomes stockholder feedback and values constructive engagement, which helps strengthen the Company’s governance practices, inform the Company’s strategic decisions and support alignment with stockholder interests. The Company also intends to continue to provide the Company’s stockholders with transparent, useful disclosures that support informed decision-making.
Redomestication to Texas May Reduce Opportunistic and Frivolous Litigation
The Texas Redomestication may reduce the potential for opportunistic and frivolous litigation against the Company, its subsidiaries and their directors and officers. The Board considered the growing volume and cost of stockholder litigation in Delaware, including certain high-profile cases that have generated significant expense and distraction for public companies and their boards. Claims against public company directors and officers can impose substantial defense expenses, divert management’s attention from a public company’s operations, and can deter highly qualified individuals from serving as directors or officers, often without providing meaningful benefit to the public company or its stockholders.
Texas’s codification of the business judgment rule gives the leadership of Texas corporations more protection to confidently make decisions in a complex marketplace. Although codifying the business judgment rule may lower the volume and severity of stockholder litigation over business decisions, it does not eliminate liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, knowing legal violations or ultra vires acts. A plaintiff asserting breach of any fiduciary duty in Texas must now both rebut at least one of those presumptions and plead and prove that the breach involved fraud, intentional misconduct, a knowing violation of law or an ultra vires act. The Board and management believe that the Texas Law Amendments will result in a shift toward fewer but more meritorious cases, with stronger pleadings and more decisions resolved at the motion to dismiss or summary judgment stage rather than through costly, discovery-heavy litigation. For Texas corporations and their insurers that provide directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, this greater predictability can reduce defense costs, settlement pressure, and the need to “price in” expensive litigation risk for board decisions.

PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS BY CONVERSION
Further, Texas law now allows corporations to establish in their certificate of formation or bylaws an exclusive forum for proceedings related to “internal entity claims,” as defined in the TBOC, and to adopt advance jury trial waivers, further improving predictability, reducing duplicative multi-forum litigation risk, and potentially lowering the cost of resolving governance disputes for the benefit of all stockholders. The Company believes that establishing an exclusive forum in the Texas Business Court and implementing a waiver of jury trial provision could reduce its future litigation costs by limiting the locale of such proceedings and eliminating jury trials of internal entity claims. Therefore, the Company has included an exclusive forum provision and a waiver of jury trial in the Texas Certificate of Formation.
In sum, the Board believes that the Company’s move to Texas would couple stronger protection for good faith decision-making with remedies reserved for true misconduct, positioning the Company to compete more effectively, attract and retain high-caliber directors and executives, and deliver durable value for its stockholders. The Board considered the increasingly litigious environment in Delaware and its potential to cause unnecessary distraction to the Company’s directors and management team. The Board believes that the Texas Redomestication may help the Company attract and retain qualified management and directors by reducing the risk of opportunistic and frivolous lawsuits. In addition, following the Texas Redomestication, litigation involving the Company’s internal affairs would generally be conducted in Texas, which the Board believes may reduce the time, expense and disruption associated with litigating such matters in a different state. The Texas Redomestication may also generate direct cost savings for the Company and its stockholders, who ultimately bear the financial impact of corporate litigation as a result of costs for attorneys’ fees, indemnification payments, and higher directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums.
The TBOC also imposes certain restrictions on derivative litigation, including a requirement that stockholders make a formal written demand to the corporation prior to bringing a derivative claim, and limitations on the use of books and records demands to generate lawsuits. The TBOC also permits corporations to adopt minimum share ownership percentages for individual shareholders or groups of shareholders seeking to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding or submit a stockholder proposal under Rule 14-8. However, the Board does not believe that imposing significant ownership requirements to bring derivative claims or file stockholder proposals are consistent with stockholder value or preferences at this time. Accordingly, neither the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation nor the proposed Texas Bylaws impose such ownership thresholds.
The Company Would Benefit from Local Decision-Making
Incorporating in the state where the Company is headquartered and conducts its principal operations situates the Company’s legal framework within the same community as its workforce and business activities. Following the Texas Redomestication, the Company would be subject to the same legal framework as many of its employees and other community stakeholders, reinforcing a shared legal and regulatory environment. The Board believes this alignment is significant because corporate governance matters often intersect with employee relations, operational strategy and broader commercial considerations, and involve local decision-makers, including legislators who draft corporate statutes, judges who interpret them, and citizens who serve on juries hearing corporate disputes. As one of Texas’s largest landowners and a significant contributor to the state’s economy, the Company expects to benefit from decision-makers, including legislators, judges and juries, who may have a practical understanding of its operations and impact. While familiarity does not guarantee the legal or policy results sought by the Company, the Company believes that it is more likely to get sensible, productive decisions out of Texas regulators, courts and business partners and that the Texas Redomestication may help reduce friction in interactions with these stakeholders.
The Company Expects to Realize Material Cost Savings from the Texas Redomestication
The Company’s current status as a Delaware corporation, despite being physically located in Texas, requires the Company to comply with franchise tax obligations in Delaware. For fiscal year 2025, the Company paid approximately $200,000 in franchise taxes to the State of Delaware, future payments of which will no longer be required if the Texas Redomestication is completed. Texas does not have a comparable annual tax based on outstanding equity. Rather, Texas’s franchise tax is based on receipts and is not expected to increase or decrease based on the Company’s state of incorporation.
Accordingly, the Texas Redomestication will result in net savings by the Company of at least $200,000 annually in addition to any reduction in litigation expense or insurance premiums that may be recognized.
Many Other Public Companies Have Aligned Their Operational Footprint with Their State of Incorporation
TPL is not the first public company to seek the stockholder benefits afforded by redomiciling into Texas from another jurisdiction. Other public companies that have redomiciled during the last two years include Dell Technologies Inc., ExxonMobil Corp. and Tesla, Inc. Other prominent companies incorporated and headquartered in Texas include

Southwest Airlines Co. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (i.e., SpaceX). More broadly, many successful companies, including Microsoft Corporation, Apple Inc. and others, are incorporated in their home state.
Principal Terms of the Texas Redomestication
The Texas Redomestication, if approved by stockholders, will be effected through a conversion pursuant to Section 266 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), and Title 1, Chapter 10, Subchapter C of the TBOC, as set forth in the plan of conversion included as Appendix C to this Proxy Statement (the “Plan of Conversion”). This process involves the Company filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Conversion and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas (i) a Certificate of Conversion, and (ii) the Texas Certificate of Formation, which will govern the converted entity as a Texas corporation. In addition, the Board has adopted the Texas Bylaws for the converted entity, subject to stockholder approval of the Texas Redomestication Proposal.
Approval of the Texas Redomestication Proposal will constitute approval of the Plan of Conversion, the Texas Certificate of Formation and the Texas Bylaws.
Through the adoption of the Plan of Conversion, upon the consummation of the Texas Redomestication:

The Company will continue in existence as a Texas corporation and will continue to operate the Company’s business under its current name, “Texas Pacific Land Corporation.”

The internal affairs of the Company will cease to be governed by Delaware law and thereafter will be governed by Texas law. See “Comparison of Stockholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law” below.

The Company will cease to be governed by the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws and will be instead subject to the provisions of the Texas Certificate of Formation and the Texas Bylaws. See “Certain Differences Between Delaware Charter and Bylaws and Texas Certificate of Formation and Bylaws” below.

The Texas Redomestication will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, properties or location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the transaction costs related to the Texas Redomestication and the cost of corporate franchise taxes).

Each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Delaware Corporation Common Stock”), will automatically become one outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Texas Corporation (“Texas Corporation Common Stock”).

Stockholders will not need to exchange their existing stock certificates or book-entry entitlements for new stock certificates or book-entry entitlements.

Each outstanding restricted stock unit or other right to acquire shares of Delaware Corporation Common Stock will continue in existence and automatically become a restricted stock unit or other right to acquire an equal number of shares of the Texas Corporation Common Stock under the same terms and conditions.

The Company’s common stock will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas under the symbol “TPL.” The Company does not expect any interruption in the trading of its common stock as a result of the Texas Redomestication.
If stockholders approve the Texas Redomestication, the Company anticipates that the Texas Redomestication will become effective on November 17, 2026 (the “Effective Time”).
The Texas Redomestication may be delayed by the Board or the Plan of Conversion may be terminated and abandoned by action of the Board at any time prior to the Effective Time of the Texas Redomestication, whether before or after the approval by the Company’s stockholders, if the Board determines for any reason that such delay, termination or abandonment would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the case may be.
The resolutions of the Board approving the Texas Redomestication through the adoption of the Plan of Conversion are included as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement (the “Texas Redomestication Resolutions”).
The Evaluation of the Proposal by the Board
The Board initially discussed the possibility of redomestication at a meeting on November 6, 2025, but did not take action at that time. At that meeting, the Board discussed a potential redomestication, recent Delaware case law, the timeline and

process for redomestication, a comparison of key Delaware, Nevada and Texas law provisions, and the impact of recently adopted legislation in Texas. The Board was encouraged by outreach from various stockholders to consider redomestication and consulted with independent outside counsel to advise on the potential redomestication.
On August 3, 2026, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met to discuss the redomestication process and rationales for and against redomestication. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee further discussed the differences in the corporate law and courts of Delaware, Nevada and Texas. After considering other choices, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee concluded that Texas’s statute-focused approach would likely foster more predictability than Delaware’s common-law approach, and that predictability could be a competitive advantage for the Company. In addition, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered several non-legal factors in its deliberations, including but not limited to the Company’s relative geographical and business ties to Delaware and Texas, recurring franchise tax liability in Delaware, and the apparent increase in contingency fee-driven stockholder litigation in Delaware and its effect on insurance premiums for director and officer insurance. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee unanimously recommended that the Board approve the Texas Redomestication, the proposed Plan of Conversion, and the Texas Governing Documents, and that the Board submit the Texas Redomestication for approval and adoption by the stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting.
On August 4, 2026, the Board met and further discussed the redomestication process and rationales for and against the Texas Redomestication. The Board also reviewed the proposed Texas Governing Documents, the proposed Plan of Conversion prepared by management for the Company to effectuate the Texas Redomestication, and the draft proposal to be included in this Proxy Statement to be submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting. After discussion and consideration, the Board determined that redomesticating the Company in Texas was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and approved the Texas Redomestication, including the forms of the Texas Governing Documents, the Plan of Conversion and the Texas Redomestication Resolutions included as Appendices to this Proxy Statement. The Board chose Texas in large part because of the Company’s significant presence and operations in Texas.
Recommendation of the Board
At its meeting on August 4, 2026, the Board adopted the Texas Redomestication Resolutions, directed that the Texas Redomestication be submitted for consideration by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the Texas Redomestication Resolutions, adopt the Plan of Conversion and approve the conversion of the Company from a Delaware Corporation to a Texas Corporation. Pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL, the Texas Redomestication Resolutions are hereby submitted for adoption by the stockholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting.
Potential Risks and Disadvantages of the Texas Redomestication
The Board also considered the following uncertainties, risks, disadvantages and potentially countervailing factors in their deliberations concerning the Texas Redomestication, which are not intended to be exhaustive and are not presented in any relative order of importance.
Possibility that Benefits Will Not be Realized
Although the Board believes that the Texas Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Texas Redomestication may not result in all or any of the expected benefits described in this Proxy Statement, including the benefits of or resulting from incorporation under Texas law or the application of Texas law to the internal affairs of the Company. For the Company’s comparison of stockholders’ rights and the material substantive provisions that apply to the Board and executive officers under Delaware and Texas law, see “Comparison of Stockholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law” below.
Delaware Exit Considerations and Risks Relating to the Board
Although the Board believes that the Texas Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and that recent Delaware case law can help inform and protect the Board’s decisions to redomesticate the Company in Texas, it is possible that certain stockholders may file litigation against the Company in connection with the Texas Redomestication. Litigation relating to the Texas Redomestication, regardless of merit, may cause the Company to incur significant expense, distraction and time. Further, if a court determines that claims brought in such litigation are meritorious, the Company may be required to pay substantial monetary damages.

Loss of Extensive Delaware Case Law and Well-Established Court System
As a result of the Redomestication, the Company’s internal affairs will no longer be governed by the legal framework and corporate governance principles that have been developed through Delaware’s substantial body of case law, which has evolved over the course of many decades. The Delaware Court and Supreme Court are highly respected and experienced business courts with an extensive body of case law. The newly created Texas Business Court is already hearing cases but will need time to develop reputationally and build a body of case law that provides comparable levels of guidance to directors and officers.
Notwithstanding the conclusions of the Board regarding the substantial similarities between Delaware and Texas corporate law, some current or prospective investors or potential director or officer candidates may perceive Delaware law as broader, more established, or more predictable. Such perceptions of Delaware law and of the Company’s adoption of an alternative corporate law framework could influence the actions of these third parties and potentially have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and affairs.
Certain Differences in Texas Law and Potential Criticism by Stockholders
Although the Board determined that the rights of stockholders under the DGCL and the TBOC are substantially similar, at least as relevant to the Company, the DGCL and existing Delaware case law collectively are different in certain respects than the TBOC and existing Texas case law in ways that may affect the rights of the Company’s stockholders and the Company may face criticism over its decision to reincorporate in Texas from stockholders or advisory services who may draw adverse comparisons between Texas law and Delaware law on specific governance points or may generally prefer Delaware incorporation. Please see the Company’s summary below of certain differences in the section entitled “Comparison of Stockholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law.”
Transaction Costs
The Company will also incur certain non-recurring costs in connection with the Texas Redomestication, including certain filing fees and legal and other transaction costs. As noted above, the Company may face legal challenges in connection with the Texas Redomestication, and the Company may also face additional media scrutiny, either of which could cause the Company to incur additional legal costs. The Company believes that a majority of these costs have already been incurred regardless of whether the Texas Redomestication is ultimately completed, except for any litigation-related expenses that may arise, which the Company cannot predict. However, going forward the Company anticipates annual estimated Delaware franchise tax savings of approximately $200,000 as a result of the Texas Redomestication.
Exclusive Forum and Jury Waiver
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Business Court in the First Business Court Division of the State of Texas (the “First Business Court Division”) will be the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Texas statutory or common law:

any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company;

any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s current or former directors, officers or other employees to the Company or the Company’s shareholders;

any action arising pursuant to any provision of the TBOC or the Texas Certificate of Formation or the Texas Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time) or as to which the TBOC confers jurisdiction on the First Business Court Division;

any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Texas Certificate of Formation or the Texas Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time);

any action asserting a claim related to or involving the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine;

any action asserting an “internal entity claim” as that term is defined in the TBOC; and

any other action within the jurisdiction of the First Business Court Division, including any claims within the supplemental jurisdiction of the First Business Court Division.
In addition, the Texas Certificate of Formation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the
 
26
Texas Pacific Land Corporation | Proxy Statement

TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS BY CONVERSION
resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The exclusive forum provision in the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the Company and/or the Company’s directors, officers and employees, as it could increase a stockholder’s cost to bring a claim or limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim against the Company or its directors, officers or employees in a judicial forum that such stockholder finds favorable.
The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies’ charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the exclusive forum provision in the Texas Certificate of Formation with respect to claims arising under the Securities Act. Similarly, to the extent the state law exclusive forum provision applicable to derivative actions could be construed to encompass derivative claims asserting violations of the federal securities laws, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, given that Section 27 of the Exchange Act grants federal courts exclusive jurisdiction over Exchange Act claims and Section 22 of the Securities Act provides concurrent jurisdiction over Securities Act claims. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision contained in the Texas Certificate of Formation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation also includes a provision providing for a waiver of jury trial in proceedings arising out of, or relating to, any “internal entity claim,” as that term is defined in the TBOC, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any other legal action, proceeding, cause of action or counterclaim within the scope of the exclusive forum provisions in the Texas Certificate of Formation. This waiver of jury trial provision could limit a stockholder’s ability to bring or demand a jury trial in any litigation against the Company involving corporate governance or securities claims, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiffs in any such action.
Additionally, if the Texas Redomestication is approved and effected, the Texas Certificate of Formation provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of, and have consented to, the exclusive forum and jury trial waiver provisions.
Changes Following Texas Redomestication
The Texas Redomestication will effect a change in the legal domicile of the Company. The most significant other changes following the Texas Redomestication are governance by the TBOC and the Texas Governing Documents instead of the DGCL, the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws. Notably, the following areas will not change following the Texas Redomestication:

The Company’s business, jobs or physical location;

Contractual rights and obligations;

Exchange Act compliance requirements;

Material accounting implications; and

Stock certificates or book-entry entitlements.
Further explanation of the impact of the Texas Redomestication on each of these areas is included below.

PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS BY CONVERSION
Certain Differences Between Delaware Charter and Bylaws and Texas Certificate of Formation and Bylaws
Certain differences between the Delaware Charter and the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation are summarized below:
Issue
Delaware Charter
Texas Certificate of Formation
Stockholder Voting Threshold (Acts requiring stockholder approval by a majority or more of voting stock)
Under the DGCL, certain matters subject to a stockholder vote, including certain business transactions including, without limitation, mergers, conversions, sales of substantially all assets, require a default vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, unless the charter specifies a higher voting threshold. The Delaware Charter does not include a higher voting threshold so the default voting standard for such business transactions applies.
Under the TBOC, certain matters subject to a shareholder vote, including “fundamental actions” and “fundamental business transactions” such as mergers, sales of substantially all assets, and other transactions, require a default vote of 2/3 of the shareholders of each class, unless the charter specifies a lower voting threshold. The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation contains language setting the default voting thresholds at a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, unless a different standard is specified elsewhere in the Texas Certificate of Formation, in order to mirror the DGCL and the absence of special provisions in the Delaware Charter.
Cumulative Voting
Under the DGCL, cumulative voting for the election of directors is allowed only as provided in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation. The Delaware Charter provides that stockholders of the Company shall not be permitted to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.
Under the TBOC, in order to vote cumulatively in a board of directors election, cumulative voting must be authorized by the corporation’s certificate of formation. The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation re-affirms that shareholders do not have a right to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Board of Directors Vacancies
The Delaware Charter provides that, subject to applicable law and the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, any vacancy on the Board shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, and shall not be filled by the stockholders.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation does not itself address vacancies on the board of directors, and instead the proposed Texas Bylaws include a vacancies provision that tracks the TBOC requirements, which permits a vacancy to be filled either by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors or by election of the shareholders at an annual or special meeting called for that purpose.
Director and Officer Liability
The Delaware Charter eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation eliminates the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for an act or omission by a director or officer in such person’s capacity as a director or officer, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC.
Action by Written Consent
The Delaware Charter provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company may be taken by consent in writing of such stockholders only pursuant to a resolution of and at the direction of the Board.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation provides that shareholders may act only by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Issue
Delaware Charter
Texas Certificate of Formation
Calling of Special Stockholder Meetings
The Delaware Charter provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Board pursuant to a resolution or upon the written request of stockholders of record representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation provides that special meetings of shareholders may be called by the President or by the Board pursuant to a resolution or upon the written request of shareholders of record representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
Indemnification
The Delaware Charter does not contain any provisions relating to indemnification.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation authorizes the indemnification of directors, officers and other persons to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC. Detailed procedural rules and related provisions are included in the proposed Texas Bylaws (See discussion of the Texas Bylaws below).
Required Ownership to Institute a Derivative Proceeding
The Delaware Charter does not contain any provisions relating to a threshold for individual stockholders or groups of stockholders to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding.
Under the TBOC and the Texas Law Amendments, public Texas corporations may adopt a minimum share ownership percentage for individual shareholders or groups of shareholders to own in order to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding. The threshold may not exceed 3% of a corporation’s outstanding shares.
Neither the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation nor the proposed Texas Bylaws include a minimum ownership threshold in order to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no stockholder has ever instituted a derivative proceeding on behalf of the Company, and the Board did not consider the provisions of the TBOC permitting minimum share ownership percentage for shareholders instituting or maintaining a derivative proceeding to be relevant to its determination that the redomestication from Delaware to Texas is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Waiver of Jury Trial
Neither the Delaware Charter nor the Delaware Bylaws contain any provisions relating to a waiver of jury trial.
If a stockholder were to file suit in the Delaware Court, the court in which stockholder suits relating to the internal affairs of the Delaware Corporation are typically filed, there would be no right to a jury trial as the Delaware Court, a court of equity, does not conduct jury trials.
Under Texas law, in civil cases, a party generally has a right to a jury trial to determine questions of fact if the party timely demands a jury and pays the jury fee. The Texas Law Amendments allow a corporation to include a waiver of jury trial in its governing documents for proceedings arising out of, or relating to, any “internal entity claim,” as defined in the TBOC, and that such waiver will constitute an intentional consent to waiver if enforced against a party approving the charter or bylaws, or acquiring a security after such provisions are adopted, continuing to hold a security of a public company after such provisions are adopted, or by other methods permitted under law.

Delaware Charter
Texas Certificate of Formation
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation includes a provision providing for a waiver of jury trial in proceedings arising out of, or relating to, any “internal entity claim,” as defined in the TBOC.
Exclusive Forum
The Delaware Charter provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring certain matters relating to the internal affairs of the corporation shall be, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, any state or federal court residing with the State of Delaware) or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas, Texas (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, any district court of Dallas County in the State of Texas).
In addition, the Delaware Charter provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Under the TBOC, a corporation may include provisions in its governing documents relating to the exclusive forum for certain proceedings.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation provides that the sole and exclusive forum for certain matters relating to the internal affairs of the corporation and other matters shall be, first, the First Business Court Division (or, if the First Business Court Division determines that it lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, or if the federal court does not have jurisdiction, a Texas state district court in Dallas County, Texas). As discussed below, this forum selection provision does not apply to any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
In addition, the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of, and have consented to, these forum selection provisions. Furthermore, investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Certain differences between the Delaware Bylaws and the proposed Texas Bylaws are as follows:

Proxies
The current Delaware Bylaws provide that no proxy authorized by a stockholder is valid after one year from the date of its execution, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Under the TBOC, a proxy is not valid for more than 11 months after the date the proxy is executed, unless otherwise provided by the proxy, and so the proposed Texas Bylaws provide that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 11 months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Board of Directors Committees
The current Delaware Bylaws provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company as may be delegated to such committee by the Board.
Pursuant to the DGCL, no committee of directors shall have the authority with regard to amending the Delaware Charter, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Company or a revocation of a dissolution of the Company, or amending the Delaware Bylaws.
The proposed Texas Bylaws provide that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company as may be delegated to such committee by the Board.
The proposed Texas Bylaws, by reference to applicable law, acknowledge that, under the TBOC, a committee of directors is prohibited from taking certain actions. The TBOC provides that a committee of the board of directors may not:
(1) amend the certificate of formation, except to: (A) establish a series of shares; (B) increase or decrease the number of shares in a series; or (C) eliminate a series of shares established by the board of directors;
(2) propose a reduction of stated capital;
(3) approve a plan of merger, share exchange, or conversion of the corporation;
(4) recommend to shareholders the sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the corporation not made in the usual and regular course of its business;
(5) recommend to the shareholders a voluntary winding up and termination or revocation of a voluntary winding up and termination;
(6) amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws or adopt new bylaws;
(7) fill vacancies on the board of directors;
(8) fill vacancies on or designate alternate members of a committee of the board of directors;
(9) fill a vacancy to be filled because of an increase in the number of directors;

(11) set the compensation of the members or alternate members of a committee of the board of directors; or
(12) alter or repeal a resolution of the board of directors that states that it may not be amended or repealed by a committee of the board of directors.
Notice to Shareholders
The Delaware Bylaws provide that unless required by law or the Delaware Charter, written notice, stating the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, shall be given, not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
The DGCL permits the Company to deliver a single written notice to stockholders who share an address (unless a stockholder objects). The DGCL also provides that notice is not required where giving such notice would be unlawful.
The Delaware Bylaws also permit notice to be given by electronic transmission to a stockholder’s electronic mail address in accordance with the DGCL.
The proposed Texas Bylaws, like the Delaware Bylaws, provide that unless required by law or the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation, written notice, stating the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, shall be given, not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
In addition, the proposed Texas Bylaws provide that notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of a shareholder meeting regarding a “fundamental business transaction” ​(as defined in the TBOC) must (a) be given to each shareholder not later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the meeting, regardless of whether the shareholder is entitled to vote on the matter, and (b) state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider a fundamental business transaction.
The TBOC does not currently contain provisions allowing for a single notice to be delivered to multiple shareholders at the same address or allowing the corporation not to deliver notice where such notice would be unlawful, and, accordingly, the Texas Bylaws do not contain such provisions.
Under the TBOC, shareholders must give affirmative consent to receive electronic transmissions. The Texas Bylaws reflect this requirement.
Advance Notice Procedures
The current Delaware Bylaws provide certain advance notice and procedural requirements as it relates to stockholder proposals and nomination.
The proposed Texas Bylaws maintain the advance notice and procedural requirements under Delaware Bylaws.
The TBOC permits certain threshold qualifications which a shareholder must satisfy before becoming eligible to submit a shareholder proposal or make a nomination. A Texas corporation that is “nationally listed” must affirmatively elect in its governing documents to be governed by the TBOC’s shareholder proposal rules. Neither the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation nor the proposed Texas Bylaws include an affirmative election to be governed by the TBOC’s shareholder proposal rules.

The Company did not receive any shareholder proposals or nominations for inclusion in this Proxy Statement, and the Board did not consider the provisions of the TBOC permitting certain threshold qualification for shareholder proposals to be relevant to its determination that the redomestication from Delaware to Texas is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Advancement of Expenses
The current Delaware Bylaws provide that expenses incurred by an officer or director in connection with any legal proceedings may be advanced by the Company upon the Company’s receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification.
Under the TBOC, before a corporation can advance expenses incurred by a director or delegate in connection with any legal proceedings, a director or delegate is required to provide: (1) a written affirmation by the person of the person’s good faith belief that the person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the TBOC; and (2) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if the final determination is that the person has not met that standard necessary for indemnification under the TBOC. In addition, a corporation may advance expenses to a person who is not a director, including an officer, employee or agent, as provided by: (1) the corporation’s governing documents; (2) general or specific action of the corporation’s board; (3) resolution of the shareholders; (4) contract; or (5) common law, and such person may seek advancement of expenses from the corporation to the same extent as a director. A corporation may also pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding and on terms the corporation considers appropriate, reasonable expenses incurred by a present or former officer, employee, or agent who is not a present director or delegate, without receiving the written affirmation and undertaking described above.
The Texas Bylaws provide that expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a proceeding may be advanced prior to the final disposition of such proceeding in the event the director or officer provides the affirmation and undertaking required by the TBOC as described above.

Comparison of Stockholder Rights under Delaware and Texas Law
The rights of the Company’s stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL, Delaware case law, the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws. Following completion of the Texas Redomestication, the rights of the Company’s stockholders will be governed by the TBOC, Texas case law, the Texas Certificate of Formation and the Texas Bylaws. The Board has found that the corporate laws of Texas and of Delaware are substantially similar, at least on net (i.e., balancing relevant considerations against one another) and as relevant to the Company.
The following are brief summaries of certain legal considerations relating to the current rights of stockholders of a Delaware corporation and the shareholders of a Texas corporation and the corporate governance of a company in Delaware and in Texas. The following discussion does not provide a complete description of the differences that may affect current and future stockholders. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the TBOC, the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws, the Texas Certificate of Formation and the Texas Bylaws, and the body of case law in both jurisdictions, and some of the differences in the legal considerations below may not affect stockholders in light of the provisions of the Texas Certificate of Formation and Texas Bylaws, which opt in to certain determinations as permitted under the TBOC. For convenience, the term “governing documents” includes the certificate of incorporation of a Delaware corporation or the certificate of formation of a Texas corporation and the entity’s bylaws.

Fiduciary Duties
In Delaware, fiduciary duties are generally developed by case law. In general, directors and officers owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty (which further include the duties of good faith, oversight, and disclosure) to the corporation and its stockholders.
The duty of care requires a director to perform his or her duties with such care as an ordinarily prudent man would use in similar circumstances. The duty of care requires directors not to act with gross negligence, including, depending on the facts and circumstances, by being well-informed and gathering and considering reasonably available relevant information.
The duty of loyalty requires directors to act in good faith and under the belief that their actions will be best for the corporation and its stockholders.
Directors are “fully protected” if they rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the corporation by any of the corporation’s officers or employees, or committees of the board of directors, or by any other person as to matters the director reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation.
In Texas, fiduciary duties are generally developed by case law. Directors and officers owe fiduciary duties of loyalty, due care, and obedience (i.e., duty to follow the law) to the corporation.
The duty of loyalty dictates that a corporate officer or director must act in good faith and must not allow his or her personal interest to prevail over the interest of the corporation. The duty of care requires the director to handle his or her duties with such care as an ordinarily prudent man would use under similar circumstances. In performing this obligation, the director must be diligent and informed and exercise honest and unbiased business judgment in pursuit of corporate interests.
Directors and officers may rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, prepared or presented by an officer or employee of the entity, legal counsel, a certified public accountant, an investment banker, a person who the director or officer reasonably believes possesses professional expertise in the matter, or a committee of the corporation on which the director or officer does not serve.
Under the Texas Law Amendments, directors and officers, in exercising their powers with respect to the entity, may (but are not required to) consider the laws and judicial decisions of other states and the practices observed by entities formed in those other states.
Business Judgment Rule
Under Delaware law, directors and officers are generally protected by the business judgment rule, which is a presumption that in making a business decision the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company. Under the business judgment rule, a court will generally not second-guess directors’ decisions unless the business judgment rule’s presumptions have been rebutted for a majority of directors who made the challenged decision. If the business judgment rule’s presumptions have been rebutted for a majority of directors, directors will not be personally liable absent a finding of non-exculpated fiduciary misconduct. Personal liability for breach of the duty of care cannot occur unless (1) the director acted with gross negligence and
Under Texas law, directors and officers are generally protected by the business judgment rule, which protects directors and officers from liability for decisions that may be considered negligent, unwise, inexpedient or imprudent if made in good faith and within their discretion in furtherance of the corporation’s interests. Texas courts have typically not imposed liability on disinterested directors unless the conduct involves fraud or an ultra vires act, although Texas case law is not clear as to whether “gross negligence” will support a breach of the duty of loyalty and therefore impose liability.
The Texas Law Amendments codify the business judgment rule for corporations that (1) have a class or series of voting shares listed on a national securities exchange or

(2) the certificate of incorporation lacks an applicable exculpation provision.
Delaware courts apply enhanced scrutiny in certain scenarios involving the adoption of defensive measures, certain change of control transactions, and certain scenarios involving interference with stockholders’ voting rights. If enhanced scrutiny applies, the court generally reviews directors’ actions for reasonableness. Delaware courts apply the entire fairness standard of review where either (1) a majority of directors who made the challenged decision were interested or lacked independence or (2) the transaction involved a conflicted controlling stockholder. However, the DGCL provides that if a statutory safe harbor applies, the act or transaction cannot be the subject of equitable relief or give rise to an award of money damages against directors, officers, or controlling stockholders.
(2) include in their governing documents a statement affirmatively electing to be governed by such section, and establish a presumption that directors and officers of such corporations, in deciding upon matters of business, are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis, in furtherance of the interests of the corporation, and in obedience to the law and the corporation’s governing documents.
The presumptions contained in the Texas Law Amendments (1) are in addition to any legal presumption arising under common law or the TBOC, (2) do not abrogate or lessen any other presumption, defense or privilege under other constitutional, statutory, case or common law in favor of the director or officer, and (3) do not limit the applicability of a provision contained in the certificate of formation limiting monetary liability of a director or officer.
Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors and Officers
Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation is permitted to adopt a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of: (i) a director or officer breaching the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) a director or officer failing to act in good faith, engaging in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) a director declaring an illegal dividend or approving an illegal stock purchase or redemption; (iv) a director or officer obtaining an improper personal benefit from the corporation; or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of a Delaware corporation.
Under the TBOC, a Texas corporation is permitted to provide that a managerial official (i.e., a director or officer) is not liable, or is liable only to the extent provided by the certificate of formation, to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission by the person in the person’s capacity as a managerial official.
The TBOC does not, however, permit any limitation of the liability of a managerial official for: (i) a breach of the duty of loyalty, if any, to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the person to the corporation or involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) a transaction from which the person receives an improper benefit, regardless of whether the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the person’s duties; or (iv) an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute (such as wrongful distributions).
Number of Directors
Under the DGCL, the number of directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the bylaws, unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors. If the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, then a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment of the certificate of incorporation.
Under the TBOC, the number of directors shall be set by, or in the manner provided by, the governing documents, except that the number of directors on the initial board of directors must be set by the certificate of formation.
The number of directors may be increased or decreased by amendment to, or as provided by, the governing documents.

If the governing documents do not set the number constituting the board of directors or provide for the manner in which the number of directors must be determined, the number of directors is the same as the number constituting the initial board of directors as set by the certificate of formation.
Procedures for Filling Vacant Directorships
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in the governing documents: (1) vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; and (2) whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect 1 or more directors by the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.
In the case of a Delaware corporation the directors of which are divided into classes, any directors chosen by (1) or (2) of the above shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be elected and qualified.
Under the TBOC, except as provided below with respect to class voting, vacancies may be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, or by the election at an annual or special meeting of shareholders called for that purpose.
The term of a director elected to fill a vacancy occurring in the board of directors is the unexpired term of the director’s predecessor in office.
Except as provided below with respect to class voting, a directorship to be filled because of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the shareholders or by the board of directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of one or more directors by the shareholders. The board of directors may not fill more than two such directorships during the period between any two successive annual meetings of shareholders.
Unless otherwise authorized by the corporation’s certificate of formation, a vacancy or a newly created vacancy in a director position that the certificate of formation entitles the holders of a class or series of shares or group of classes or series of shares to elect may be filled only: (1) by the affirmative vote of the majority of the directors then in office elected by the class, series, or group; (2) by the sole remaining director elected in that manner; or (3) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of the class, series, or group.
Removal of Directors
Under the DGCL, subject to the exceptions discussed below, holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors may remove a director or the entire board of directors with or without cause.

Action by Written Consent of Directors
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise restricted by the governing documents, the board of directors of a Delaware corporation may act without a meeting if all of the directors consent in writing.
Under the TBOC, unless otherwise provided by the governing documents, a written consent stating the action taken and signed by all members of the board of directors is also an act of the board of directors.
Action by Written Consent of Stockholders
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, with the written consent of the stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. If less than unanimous written consent is given, the corporation must give prompt notice of the action taken to the non-consenting stockholders.
Under the TBOC, shareholders may act without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, with the written consent of (1) all shareholders or (2) if authorized by the certificate of formation, the shareholders having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the action that is the subject of the consent at a meeting, in which each owner or member entitled to vote on the action is present and votes. If less than unanimous written consent is given, the corporation must give prompt notice of the action taken to the non-consenting shareholders.
Special Meetings of the Stockholders
Under the DGCL, the board of directors, or any other one or more persons authorized in the governing documents, may call a special meeting. Stockholders do not have a statutory right to call a special meeting, but the governing documents for the corporation may provide for such right.
Under the TBOC, special meetings of the shareholders of a corporation may be called by: (1) the president, the board of directors, or any other person authorized to call special meetings by the governing documents; or (2) the holders of the percentage of shares specified in the certificate of formation, not to exceed 50% of the shares entitled to vote or, if no percentage is specified, at least 10% of all of the shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the proposed special meeting.
Under the TBOC, a corporation cannot prohibit its shareholders from calling a special meeting of shareholders.

Under the DGCL, if a meeting of stockholders is adjourned for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting, or each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting as of the new record date set for notice of the adjourned meeting, respectively.
At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

The TBOC does not have a specific provision on the notice for an adjourned meeting or the business that may be transacted at an adjourned meeting.
Generally, under the TBOC, the only business that may be conducted at a special meeting of the shareholders is business that is within the purposes described in the notice.
Voting by Proxy
Under the DGCL, a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. A proxy is valid for three years from its date unless a longer period is provided in the proxy.
Under the TBOC, a shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy. A proxy is valid for 11 months from its date of execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
Quorum
Under the DGCL, the governing documents may specify the number of shares and/or the amount of other securities having voting power the holders of which must be present or represented by proxy at any meeting in order to constitute a quorum for, and the votes that shall be necessary for, the transaction of any business, but in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, except that, where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a quorum shall consist of no less than one-third of the shares of such class or series or classes or series.
Under the TBOC, subject to the following sentence, the holders of the majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders that are present or represented by proxy at the meeting are a quorum for the consideration of a matter to be presented at that meeting. The certificate of formation may provide that a quorum is present only if: (1) the holders of a specified portion of the shares that is greater than the majority of the shares entitled to vote are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy; or (2) the holders of a specified portion of the shares that is less than the majority but not less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy.

(2) where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series.

With respect to a matter other than the election of directors or a matter for which the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion of the shares entitled to vote is required by the TBOC, the governing documents may provide that the act of the shareholders is: (1) the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion, but not less than the majority, of the shares entitled to vote on that matter; (2) the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion, but not less than the majority, of the shares entitled to vote on that matter and represented in person or by proxy at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present; (3) the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion, but not less than the majority, of the shares entitled to vote on, and who voted for or against, the matter at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present; or (4) the affirmative vote of the holders of a specified portion, but not less than the majority, of the shares entitled to vote on, and who voted for, against, or expressly abstained with respect to, the matter at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present.

Stockholder Vote for Fundamental Business Transactions
Under the DGCL, a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon generally must approve fundamental changes, such as: (1) certain mergers or consolidations; (2) a sale, lease, or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets (provided that no stockholder authorization or consent is required (A) to mortgage or pledge the corporation’s property and assets unless the certificate of incorporation so requires or (B) where the property or assets in the sale, lease or exchange is collateral that secures a mortgage or is pledged to a secured party and certain additional conditions are met); (3) dissolution; (4) conversion of a domestic corporation to other entities; and (5) transfer, domestication or continuance of a domestic corporation to a foreign jurisdiction. The certificate of incorporation may contain provisions requiring for any corporate action the vote of a larger portion of the stock or of any class or series thereof than is required by the DGCL.
Under the TBOC, unless otherwise provided for in the TBOC or the certificate of formation, shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of a class entitled to vote on the matter must typically approve fundamental business transactions such as: (1) a merger; (2) an interest exchange; (3) a conversion; or (4) a sale of all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets that is not made in the usual and regular course of the corporation’s business. The certificate of formation can provide for a different threshold of approval, but not less than a majority of the shares entitled to vote.
The proposed Texas Certificate of Formation contains language setting the default voting thresholds at a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, unless a different standard is specified elsewhere in the Texas Certificate of Formation, in order to mirror the DGCL and the absence of special provisions in the Delaware Charter.
Stockholder Vote for Sales, Leases, Exchanges or Other Dispositions
Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of its property and assets when and as authorized by a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon.
No such approval is required, however, if the assets being sold, leased or exchanged are not all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets. There is no necessary quantifying percentage for determining whether assets constitute substantially all of a Delaware corporation’s assets. Only if the sale is of assets quantitatively and qualitatively vital to the business of the corporation is stockholder authorization mandated.
Under the TBOC, generally the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the property and assets of a Texas corporation requires the approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, unless the corporation’s certificate of formation sets a lower threshold (which may not be less than a majority of the voting shares).
No such approval is required, however, if the transaction is made in the usual and regular course of a Texas corporation’s business. Under Texas law, even the transfer of substantially all of a corporation’s assets in such a manner that the corporation continues directly or indirectly to engage in one or more businesses is deemed not to be a transaction requiring shareholder approval under the TBOC.
Affiliated Business Combinations Statute
Under the DGCL, unless a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (original, or approved by stockholders) provide otherwise, Delaware corporations that have a class of voting stock listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by 2,000 or more persons are prohibited from entering into any “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for a period of three years
Under the TBOC, an “issuing public corporation” is generally prohibited from, directly or indirectly, entering into (i) mergers, share exchanges or conversions with an affiliated shareholder or other entity that after such transaction would be an affiliate or associate of an affiliated shareholder, and certain other entities, (ii) sales, leases, exchanges, mortgages, pledges, transfers or other dispositions of

following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder. The DGCL generally defines a “business combination” as (i) certain mergers and consolidations; (ii) sales, leases, exchanges, mortgages, pledges, transfers or other dispositions of assets having an aggregate market value of 10% or more of either the consolidated assets or the outstanding stock of a company; (iii) certain transactions that would result in the issuance or transfer of stock of the corporation to an interested stockholder; (iv) certain transactions that have the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of stock of the corporation which is owned by the interested stockholder, subject to exceptions; and (v) any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly, of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation, subject to certain exceptions.
“Interested stockholder” is generally defined as a person (including the affiliates and associates of such person) that is directly or indirectly a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a Delaware corporation or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the 3-year period before the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder, and the affiliates and associates of such person, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
The DGCL provides an exception to this prohibition if: (i) the corporation’s board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder prior to the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of that company (excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer) in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder; or (iii) the business combination is approved by the board of directors and the affirmative vote of at least
assets having an aggregate market value of 10% or more of (a) the aggregate market value of the consolidated assets of such Texas public corporation, (b) the aggregate market value of the outstanding voting stock of such Texas public corporation or (c) the earning power or net income of such Texas public corporation on a consolidated basis, (iii) certain transactions that would result in the issuance or transfer of shares of such Texas public corporation to an affiliated shareholder or an affiliate or associate, (iv) liquidation or dissolution plans or proposals with an affiliated shareholder or an associate or an affiliate of an associate of an affiliated shareholder, (v) certain transactions, including reclassifications of securities or other share distributions or recapitalizations, that have the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate ownership percentage of the outstanding shares of a class or series of voting shares or securities convertible into voting shares of the issuing public corporation that is beneficially owned by the affiliated shareholder or an affiliate or associate of the affiliated shareholder, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or (vi) loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial assistance or a tax credit or other tax advantages the recipient of which is an affiliated shareholder or an affiliate or associate of an affiliated shareholder, in each case, with an “affiliated shareholder” or any affiliate or associate of the “affiliated shareholder” for a period of three years after the date the shareholder obtained “affiliated shareholder” status.
“Affiliated shareholder” is generally broadly defined as a person who beneficially owns (or has owned within the preceding three-year period) 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a Texas public corporation.
“Issuing public corporation” means a Texas corporation that has: (i) 100 or more shareholders of record as shown by the share transfer records of the corporation; (ii) a class or series of the corporation’s voting shares registered under the Exchange Act; or (iii) a class or series of the corporation’s voting shares qualified for trading on a national securities exchange.
The TBOC provides an exception to this prohibition if: (i) the board of directors of the

A corporation may expressly elect in its certificate of incorporation to not be governed by this statute.
corporation approves the transaction or the acquisition of shares by the affiliated shareholder prior to the affiliated shareholder becoming an affiliated shareholder; or (ii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting shares not beneficially owned by the affiliated shareholder or an affiliate or associate of the affiliated shareholder approve the transaction at a meeting held no earlier than six months after the shareholder acquires such ownership. The TBOC expressly provides that the foregoing shareholder approval may not be by written consent.
A corporation may expressly elect in its certificate of formation to not be governed by this statute.
Interested Party Transaction Approvals
The DGCL provides that certain interested party transactions may not be the subject of equitable relief, or give rise to an award of damages against a director or officer, in a suit asserting a claim for breach of fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that the transaction is between the corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the corporation and an entity in which one or more of its directors or officers has a financial interest, if any of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or known to all members of the board of directors or a committee thereof acting on the matter, and the transaction is authorized in good faith and without gross negligence by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors then serving on the board or such committee, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum (provided that, if a majority of the directors are not disinterested, the transaction must be approved by a committee consisting of two or more disinterested directors); (2) the transaction is approved or ratified by an informed, uncoerced, affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders entitled to vote thereon; or (3) the transaction is fair as to the corporation and its stockholders.
The DGCL also provides similar safe harbors for transactions between the corporation and a controlling stockholder or control group, or from which a controller receives a benefit not shared with stockholders
The TBOC provides that an otherwise valid and enforceable contract or transaction between a corporation and (1) one or more directors or officers, or one or more affiliates or associates of one or more directors or officers, of the corporation; or (2) an entity or other organization in which one or more directors or officers, or one or more affiliates or associates of one or more directors or officers, of the corporation: (A) is a managerial official; or (B) has a financial interest is valid and enforceable, and is not void or voidable, notwithstanding such relationship or interest if any one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) the material facts as to the applicable relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed to or known by: (A) the corporation’s board of directors or a committee of the board of directors, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the approval of the majority of the disinterested directors or committee members, regardless of whether the disinterested directors or committee members constitute a quorum; or (B) the shareholders entitled to vote on the authorization of the contract or transaction, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by a vote of the shareholders; or (2) the contract or transaction is fair to the corporation when the contract or transaction is authorized, approved, or ratified by the board of directors, a committee of the board of directors, or the shareholders.

generally. Such a transaction (other than a going-private transaction) qualifies if it is (1) approved (or recommended for board approval) in good faith and without gross negligence by a committee of two or more disinterested directors expressly delegated authority to negotiate and reject the transaction, with the material facts disclosed or known to the committee; (2) conditioned on, and approved or ratified by, an informed, uncoerced, affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders; or (3) fair as to the corporation and its stockholders. A going-private transaction involving a controller must satisfy both the committee and disinterested stockholder approval conditions, or be fair as to the corporation and its stockholders.
The amendments to the DGCL in 2025 codified presumptions regarding director disinterestedness.
The TBOC differs from the DGCL’s interested party transaction statute in that it expressly provides that if at least one of the above conditions is satisfied, neither the corporation nor any of the corporation’s shareholders will have a cause of action against any of the corporation’s directors or officers for breach of duty with respect to the making, authorization, or performance of the contract or transaction because the person had an applicable relationship or interest.
The TBOC has a procedure for a corporation to obtain a prospective court ruling that special committee members are sufficiently independent and disinterested to consider a particular transaction.
Charter Amendments
Under the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions, an amendment to the certificate of incorporation must be approved by (i) the board of directors and (ii) the holders of a majority of the corporation’s outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon, unless the certificate of incorporation provides for a greater number.
Whether or not entitled to vote by the certificate of incorporation, the holders of the outstanding shares of a class are entitled to vote as a class on a proposed amendment, if the amendment would (1) increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class; (2) increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class; or (3) alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely. However, the DGCL permits corporations to provide in their certificate of incorporation that no separate class vote(s) shall be required to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class, in which case a share increase/decrease amendment would instead be approved by the holders of all outstanding shares, voting together as a single class.
In addition, unless otherwise expressly required by the certificate of incorporation: (1) no meeting or vote of stockholders is required to adopt an amendment that reclassifies by subdividing the issued shares of a class of stock into a greater number of
Under the TBOC, subject to limited exceptions, an amendment to the certificate of formation requires the approval of (i) the board of directors and (ii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of a Texas corporation entitled to vote thereon, unless a different threshold, not less than a majority, is specified in the certificate of formation.
If a class or series of shares is entitled to vote as a class or series on an amendment to the certificate of formation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (unless a different threshold, not less than a majority, is specified in the certificate of formation) of the outstanding shares in each such class or series of shares entitled to vote on the amendment as a class or series is also required to approve an amendment to the certificate of formation, although the TBOC allows corporations to provide in their certificate of formation that all shares vote as a single class for such an amendment. In addition, the TBOC allows corporations to provide in their certificate of formation that no separate class vote(s) shall be required to increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of a class, in which case a share increase/decrease amendment would instead be approved by the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

issued shares of the same class of stock (and, in connection therewith, such amendment may increase the number of authorized shares of such class of stock up to an amount proportionate to the subdivision), provided the corporation has only one class of stock outstanding and such class is not divided into series; and (2) an amendment to increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of a class of capital stock or an amendment to reclassify by combining the issued shares of a class of capital stock into a lesser number of issued shares of the same class of stock may be made and effected, without obtaining the vote or votes of stockholders otherwise required if: (A) the shares of such class are listed on a national securities exchange immediately before such amendment becomes effective and meet the listing requirements of such national securities exchange relating to the minimum number of holders immediately after such amendment becomes effective, (B) at a properly called meeting, a vote of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, is taken for and against the proposed amendment, and the votes cast for the amendment exceed the votes cast against the amendment, and (C) if the amendment increases or decreases the authorized number of shares of a class of capital stock for which no provision in the certificate of incorporation has been made in accordance with the DGCL, the votes cast for the amendment by the holders of such class exceed the votes cast against the amendment by the holders of such class.
Bylaw Amendments
Under the DGCL, stockholders entitled to vote have the right to amend, repeal or adopt the bylaws. If the corporation’s certificate of incorporation so provides, the Delaware corporation’s board of directors may also have the right to amend, repeal or adopt the bylaws.
Generally, under the TBOC, the board of directors may amend, repeal or adopt a Texas corporation’s bylaws. However, (i) the shareholders may amend, repeal or adopt bylaws even if the directors also have that power and (ii) the certificate of formation may wholly or partly reserve the power to amend, repeal or adopt bylaws exclusively to the shareholders. Similarly, the shareholders, in amending, repealing or adopting a particular bylaw, may expressly provide that the board of directors may not amend, readopt or repeal that particular bylaw.
Dividends and Distributions
Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may, subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, pay dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current and/or the preceding fiscal year, unless the capital of
Under the TBOC, a distribution is defined as a transfer of cash or other property (except a corporation’s own shares or rights to acquire its shares or a split-up or division of the issued shares of a class of a corporation into a larger number of shares within the same

class that does not increase the stated capital of the corporation), or an issuance of debt, by a corporation to its shareholders in the form of: (i) a dividend on any class or series of a Texas corporation’s outstanding shares; (ii) a purchase or redemption, directly or indirectly, of its shares; or (iii) a payment in liquidation of all or a portion of its assets.
Under the TBOC, a corporation may not make a distribution if such distribution violates its certificate of formation, if the corporation’s surplus is less than the amount of the corporation’s stated capital (as determined by the TBOC) or, unless the corporation is in receivership or the distribution is made in connection with the winding up and termination of the corporation, if it either renders the corporation unable to pay its debts as they become due in the course of its business or affairs, or exceeds, depending on the type of distribution, either the net assets or the surplus of the corporation, or, subject to certain exceptions, if the distribution will be made to shareholders of another class or series.
Stock Redemption and Repurchase
Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation may purchase or redeem shares of any class except when its capital is impaired or would be impaired by such purchase or redemption. A Delaware corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital, shares that are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its stock, or, if no shares entitled to such a preference are outstanding, any of its own shares, if such shares are to be retired and the capital reduced. However, a corporation may not purchase redeemable shares for a price greater than that at which they would be redeemed.
As noted above, under the TBOC, the purchase or redemption by a Texas corporation of its shares constitutes a distribution. Accordingly, the discussion above relating to distributions is applicable to stock redemptions and repurchases.
In addition, a Delaware corporation may not effect a repurchase or redemption if doing so would render the corporation insolvent in the sense that it could not pay its debts as they come due or continue as a going concern.
Increasing or Decreasing Authorized Capital Stock, Including Number of Unissued Shares of a Series of Preferred Stock
The DGCL has no provision for increasing or decreasing authorized capital stock by unilateral board action without stockholder approval, although if the increase in the number of authorized shares is in connection with a forward stock split (up to an amount proportionate to the subdivision), no
Under the TBOC, once stock has been issued, the board cannot unilaterally increase or decrease the amount of authorized capital stock without shareholder approval unless (i) the increase in the number of authorized shares is in connection with a forward stock split, in which case the number of authorized

stockholder approval is required provided that the corporation only has one class of stock outstanding and such class is not divided into series (unless stockholder approval is expressly required by the certificate of incorporation).
shares can be increased to an amount proportionate to the same multiple by which the number of issued shares is subdivided as a result of the forward stock split without shareholder approval, or (ii) the decrease is in connection with a reverse stock split primarily for the purpose of maintaining the listing eligibility of the class of shares on any applicable national securities exchange, in which case the number of authorized shares can be decreased to an amount proportionate to the same multiple by which the number of issued shares is combined as a result of the reverse stock split without shareholder approval, provided in both cases that the corporation only has one class of stock outstanding and such class is not divided into series (unless shareholder approval is expressly required by the certificate of formation).
With respect to a series of shares of preferred stock established by the board of directors if authorized by the corporation’s certificate of formation (and subject thereto), unless the certificate of formation expressly restricts the board of directors from increasing or decreasing the number of unissued shares of a series to be established by the board of directors, the board of directors may increase or decrease the number of shares in each series to be established, except that the board of directors may not decrease the number of shares in a particular series to a number that is less than the number of shares in that series that are issued at the time of the decrease.
Ratification
Under the DGCL, there is a codified ratification process for defective corporate actions.
The board of directors must adopt a resolution ratifying the defective corporate action and, if stockholder approval would have been required for the defective corporate action to have been taken, the defective corporate action must be submitted to stockholders for approval.
In addition to the foregoing, under the DGCL, the corporation, any successor entity to the corporation, any director, or certain stockholders can apply to the Delaware Court for an order determining the validity and effectiveness of defective corporate acts, including without limitation to confirm whether a prior ratification was effective,
Under the TBOC, there is a codified ratification process for defective corporate acts.
The board of directors must adopt a resolution and then submit the ratified defective corporate act for shareholder approval (shareholder approval is subject to certain exceptions). In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the board of directors that shares of the Texas corporation are valid shares or putative shares is conclusive, unless otherwise determined by a Texas district court or a division of the Texas Business Court.

whether a defective corporate act can be validated even if not previously ratified. In connection with such applications, the Delaware Court has broad discretion to fashion appropriate relief, including without limitation declaring ratifications effective, validating and declaring effective any defective corporate act, and making such other orders regarding such matters as it deems proper under the circumstances.
Inspection of Books and Records
Under the DGCL, any stockholder may inspect, and make copies and extracts from, a corporation’s books and records during normal business hours for any proper purpose (defined to mean a purpose reasonably related to the stockholder’s interest as a stockholder) upon written demand under oath stating the purpose of the inspection. The DGCL defines “books and records” to mean a specific set of materials that includes, without limitation, the governing documents, certain agreements with stockholders, minutes of certain board and stockholder meetings, certain communications with stockholders generally, certain actions by written consent of the board and stockholders, annual financial statements for the past three years, and director independence questionnaires. The stockholder may only inspect books and records if the stockholder’s demand is made in good faith, is for a proper purpose, and describes with reasonable particularity the stockholder’s purpose and the books and records sought.
The DGCL provides that the corporation may impose reasonable restrictions on the confidentiality, use, and distribution of books and records and may require the stockholder to stipulate that any books and records received are deemed incorporated by reference in any follow-on complaint in a plenary action relating to the subject matter of the demand.
If a Delaware corporation refuses to permit inspection or does not reply to the demand within five business days after the demand has been made, the stockholder may apply to the Delaware Court for an order to compel such inspection.
The Delaware Court may not order inspection of any documents beyond those defined as “books and records” unless either of two exceptions applies. First, if the corporation does not have certain materials
Under the TBOC, a shareholder may inspect a corporation’s books and records during normal business hours upon written demand stating a proper purpose if such shareholder holds at least 5% of the outstanding shares of stock of the corporation or has been a holder of shares for at least six months prior to such demand.
If a corporation refuses to allow a person to examine and make copies of account records, minutes, and share transfer records under the TBOC, the corporation is liable to the shareholder for any cost or expense, including attorney’s fees, incurred in enforcing the shareholder’s rights under the TBOC to examine such materials.
A corporation may defend against an inspection action by establishing that the shareholder: (1) has, within the two years preceding the date the action is brought, sold or offered for sale a list of shareholders or of holders of voting trust certificates for shares of the corporation or any other corporation; (2) has aided or abetted a person in procuring a list of shareholders or of holders of voting trust certificates for the purposes of selling or offering such list for sale; (3) has improperly used information obtained through prior examination of the books, account records, minutes, or share transfer records of the corporation or any other corporation; or (4) was not acting in good faith or for a proper purpose in making the request.
The Texas Law Amendments (i) clarify that emails, text messages, and social media information are not considered corporate records unless effectuating a corporate action and (ii) prohibit shareholders from inspecting corporate records related to active or pending derivative suits or litigation involving the corporation as an adversarial party.

defined as “books and records,” the Delaware Court may order the production of their functional equivalent only if and to the extent the stockholder has met other requirements of the books and records statute and only to the extent necessary and essential to fulfill the stockholder’s proper purpose.
Second, the Delaware Court may order production of additional materials only if (i) the stockholder has met other requirements of the books and records statute, (ii) the stockholder made a showing of compelling need for such materials, and (iii) the stockholder has demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that such materials are necessary and essential to further their proper purpose.
Generally, the stockholder bears the burden of demonstrating a proper purpose. However, when a stockholder seeks to inspect a corporation’s list of stockholders or stock ledger, the burden of proof is on the corporation to establish that the inspection is for an improper purpose.
Insurance
Under the DGCL, a Delaware corporation is allowed to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL.
Under the TBOC, a Texas corporation is allowed to purchase or procure or establish and maintain insurance or another arrangement to indemnify or hold harmless an existing or former governing person, delegate, officer, employee, or agent against any liability: (1) asserted against and incurred by the person in that capacity or (2) arising out of the person’s status in that capacity. The insurance or other arrangement established may insure or indemnify against the liability described above without regard to whether the corporation otherwise would have had the power to indemnify the person against that liability under the TBOC.
Under the TBOC, for the benefit of persons to be indemnified by the enterprise, an enterprise may, in addition to purchasing or procuring or establishing and maintaining insurance or another arrangement: (1) create a trust fund; (2) establish any form of self-insurance, including a contract to indemnify; (3) secure the enterprise’s indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the enterprise; or (4) establish a letter of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangement.

Limitation of Liability of Stockholders
Under the DGCL, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, the stockholders of a corporation shall not be personally liable for the payment of the corporation’s debts except as they may be liable by reason of their own conduct or acts.
Under the TBOC, subject to certain exceptions, a shareholder is not personally liable for the obligations of the corporation, and a shareholder’s liability with respect to its shares is limited to the obligation to pay the full consideration for which the shares were or are to be issued.
Considerations by Directors Permitted by Statute
Except for corporations that have opted to become public benefit corporations, directors of Delaware corporations do not have any express statutory authority to consider other constituencies. Delaware case law provides that fiduciary duties in most circumstances require directors to seek to maximize the value of the corporation for the long-term benefit of the stockholders and that directors can consider the interests of other constituencies so long as doing so serves the ultimate goal of value maximization.
In discharging the duties of a director or officer under the TBOC or otherwise, a director or officer of a corporation is entitled to consider any social purpose specified in the corporation’s certificate of formation. In addition, the TBOC provides that nothing in the applicable section thereof prohibits or limits a director or officer of a corporation that does not have a social purpose specified as a purpose in the corporation’s certificate of formation from considering, approving, or taking an action that promotes or has the effect of promoting a social, charitable, or environmental purpose.
Business Opportunities
Under Delaware law, the corporate opportunity doctrine holds that a corporate officer or director may not generally and unilaterally take a business opportunity for his or her own. Factors to be considered include: (i) whether the corporation is financially able to exploit the opportunity; (ii) if the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; (iii) whether the corporation has an interest or expectancy in the opportunity; and (iv) whether by taking the opportunity for his or her own, the corporate fiduciary will thereby be placed in a position inimical to his duties to the corporation.
The DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to renounce, in its certificate of incorporation or by action of the board of directors, any interest or expectancy of the corporation in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities or specified classes or categories of business opportunities that are presented to the corporation or one or more of its officers, directors or stockholders.
Texas law generally follows the Delaware corporate opportunity doctrine.
The TBOC permits a Texas corporation to renounce, in its certificate of formation or by action of its board of directors, an interest or expectancy of the entity in, or an interest or expectancy of the entity in being offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities or a specified class or category of business opportunities presented to the entity or one or more of its managerial officials or owners.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the DGCL, a corporation is permitted to indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines
Under the TBOC, a corporation is permitted to indemnify a director, former director, or delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding, against (i) judgments and (ii) expenses (other than a judgment) reasonably and actually incurred by the person in connection with a proceeding if the person: (a) acted in good faith; (b) reasonably believed, in the case of

and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, to which such director, officer, employee or agent may be a party or threatened to be made a party, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of a criminal proceeding, that he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
In connection with any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation involving a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, the corporation has the power to indemnify such a person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit: (i) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) if such person is found liable to the corporation, only to the extent the Delaware Court or the court in which such action or suit was brought determined that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court or such other court shall deem proper. This is not exclusive of any other indemnification rights, which may be granted by a Delaware corporation to its directors, officers, employees or agents.
conduct in the person’s official capacity, that the person’s conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, and in any other case, that the person’s conduct was not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, did not have a reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. In addition, the TBOC permits indemnification of other persons as described in the section entitled “Persons Covered” below.
If, however, the person is found liable to the corporation, or is found liable on the basis he or she received an improper personal benefit, then indemnification under the TBOC is limited to the reimbursement of reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the proceeding, and which excludes a judgment, a penalty, a fine, and an excise or similar tax, including an excise tax assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit plan. Furthermore, no indemnification will be available if the person is found liable for: (i) willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of the person’s duty to the corporation; (ii) breach of the person’s duty of loyalty owed to the corporation; or (iii) an act or omission not committed in good faith that constitutes a breach of a duty owed by the person to the corporation.
Advancement of Expenses
Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145 of the DGCL.
A corporation may pay or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a present director or delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding without making the determinations required for permissive indemnification after the corporation receives: (1) a written affirmation by the person of the person’s good faith belief that the person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification;

Texas
and (2) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if the final determination is that the person has not met that standard or that indemnification is prohibited by the TBOC.
In addition, a corporation may advance expenses to a person who is not a director, including an officer, employee or agent, as provided by: (1) the corporation’s governing documents; (2) general or specific action of the corporation’s board; (3) resolution of the shareholders; (4) contract; or (5) common law, and such person may seek advancement of expenses from the corporation to the same extent as a director. A corporation may also pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding and on terms the corporation considers appropriate, reasonable expenses incurred by a present or former officer, employee, or agent who is not a present director or delegate, without receiving the written affirmation and undertaking described above.
Procedure for Indemnification
Under the DGCL, a determination that indemnification of a director or officer is appropriate generally must be made: (i) by a majority vote of directors who are not party to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) if there are no such directors or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) by stockholder vote.
Under the TBOC, a determination that indemnification is appropriate generally must be made: (i) by a majority vote of the directors who, at the time of the vote, are disinterested and independent, regardless of whether such directors constitute a quorum; (ii) by a majority vote of a special committee of the board of directors if the committee is designated by a majority vote of the directors who at the time of the vote are disinterested and independent, regardless of whether such directors constitute a quorum, and is composed solely of one or more directors who are disinterested and independent; (iii) by special legal counsel selected by majority vote under (i) or (ii) above; (iv) by the shareholders in a vote that excludes those shares held by directors who, at the time of the vote, are not disinterested and independent; or (v) by a unanimous vote of the shareholders of the corporation.
Mandatory Indemnification
The DGCL requires indemnification for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred with respect to any claim, issue or matter on which the director or “officer” ​(as defined for the purposes of Section 145(c) of the DGCL) is successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.
The TBOC requires indemnification for reasonable expenses actually incurred only if the director is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.

Indemnification: Persons Covered
Under the DGCL, directors and officers, but not employees and agents, are entitled to mandatory indemnification for expenses incurred when successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of litigation. Other than in that instance, the DGCL provides the same indemnification rights to officers, employees and agents that it provides for directors.
The TBOC generally provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to a person who is not a director, including an officer, employee or agent, as provided by: (1) the corporation’ s governing documents; (2) general or specific action of the corporation’s board of directors; (3) resolution of the shareholders; (4) contract; or (5) common law. A corporation must indemnify an officer to the same extent that indemnification is required under the TBOC for a director. A determination of indemnification for a person who is not a director of a corporation, including an officer, employee, or agent, is not required to be made in accordance with the procedures set out in the relevant sections of the TBOC.
Stockholder Rights Plans
Delaware has established case law permitting the adoption of stockholder rights plans. However, the adoption of stockholder rights plans is viewed as a defensive action and is subject to enhanced scrutiny by the Delaware courts, with the burden initially on the board of directors to demonstrate that the adoption of the rights plan is reasonable in response to a reasonably identified threat posed.
Texas case law regarding shareholder rights plans is limited, particularly following the adoption of the Texas Law Amendments, including the codified business judgment rule.
In addition, the TBOC expressly permits directors to look to the “long-term” benefit to shareholders in taking action.
Selection of Forum
Under the DGCL, a corporation’s governing documents may require, consistent with applicable jurisdictional requirements, that any or all internal corporate claims shall be brought solely and exclusively in any or all of the courts in Delaware, and no provision of a Delaware corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws may prohibit bringing such claims in the courts of Delaware.
“Internal corporate claims” means claims, including claims in the right of the corporation, (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director or officer or stockholder in such capacity; or (ii) as to which Delaware law confers jurisdiction upon the Delaware Court.
With respect to claims that are not internal corporate claims, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws may require stockholders, when acting in their capacity as stockholders or in the right of the corporation, to bring any or all such claims only in one or more prescribed forums or venues, if such claims relate to the business of the corporation, the conduct of its affairs,
Under the TBOC, the governing documents may require, consistent with applicable state and federal jurisdictional requirements, that any internal entity claims shall be brought only in a court in Texas. Pursuant to the Texas Law Amendments, Texas corporations may specify in their governing documents a particular court in Texas as its sole venue, subject to jurisdictional limits.
“Internal entity claim” means a claim of any nature, including a derivative claim in the right of an entity, that is based on, arises from, or relates to the internal affairs of the entity. Internal affairs include the rights, powers, and duties of the entity’s governing persons, officers, owners, and members, and matters relating to the entity’s membership or ownership interests.

Texas
or the rights or powers of the corporation or its stockholders, directors or officers; provided that such requirement is consistent with applicable jurisdictional requirements and allows a stockholder to bring such claims in at least one court in Delaware that has jurisdiction over such claims.
Pre-Suit Demand in Derivative Suits
Under Delaware court rules and case law, in order for a stockholder to commence a derivative action on behalf of the corporation, the stockholder must: (1) make a demand on the company’s board of directors; or (2) show that demand would be futile. Demand will be deemed futile if at least half the members of the board: (1) received a material personal benefit from the alleged misconduct that is the subject of the litigation demand; (2) faces a substantial likelihood of liability on any of the claims that would be the subject of the litigation demand; or (3) lacks independence from someone who received a material personal benefit from the alleged misconduct that would be the subject of the litigation demand or who would face a substantial likelihood of liability on any of the claims that are the subject of the litigation demand.
Texas is a universal demand jurisdiction. Under the TBOC, the focus is on harm to the corporation rather than the Delaware standard of futility. A shareholder may not institute a derivative proceeding until the 91st day after the date a written demand is filed with the corporation stating with particularity the act, omission, or other matter that is the subject of the claim or challenge and requesting that the corporation take suitable action.
The foregoing waiting period is not required or, if applicable, shall terminate if: (1) the shareholder has been notified that the demand has been rejected by the corporation; (2) the corporation is suffering irreparable injury; or (3) irreparable injury to the corporation would result by waiting for the expiration of the 90-day period.
Stock Ownership Requirement for Derivative Suits
Under the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions, a stockholder may not institute or maintain a derivative suit unless the plaintiff was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which such stockholder complains or that such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved upon such stockholder by operation of law and the plaintiff maintains such ownership throughout the litigation. A limited number of Delaware corporations may have included an ownership threshold for derivative claims in their bylaws; however, Delaware courts have not opined on the enforceability of these provisions.
Under the TBOC, a shareholder may not institute or maintain a derivative proceeding unless: (1) the shareholder was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction in question, or became a shareholder by operation of law originating from a person that was a shareholder at the time of the transaction in question; and (2) the shareholder fairly and adequately represents the interests of the corporation in enforcing the right of the corporation.
Under the Texas Law Amendments, a public Texas corporation may in its governing documents include a threshold of ownership (not to exceed three percent of the outstanding shares of the corporation) for an individual or group of individuals to institute or maintain a derivative proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation.
Judicial Deference to Derivative Suit Determinations
Delaware does not have an analogous statute. Under Delaware law, a stockholder’s right to bring a derivative suit is a judicially created doctrine.
Under the TBOC, any determination regarding how to proceed with allegations asserted in a derivative proceeding must be made by an affirmative vote of a majority of: (1) all independent and disinterested directors of the corporation, whether or not they constitute a quorum of the board; (2) a committee of one or more independent directors appointed by an affirmative vote of

Delaware
Texas
a majority of the independent and disinterested directors, whether or not those directors constitute a quorum of the board; or (3) a panel of one or more independent, disinterested, and qualified individuals appointed by the court upon the corporation’s motion. If the decision-makers described above determine in good faith, after a reasonable inquiry and based on factors they deem appropriate under the circumstances, that continuation of the derivative proceeding is not in the corporation’s best interests, the court shall dismiss the proceeding upon the corporation’s motion.
Judicial Certification of Committees and Panels
Delaware does not have an analogous statute.
The TBOC permits corporations to request a court, at the start of a transaction or investigation of a derivative claim, to judicially determine the independence and disinterestedness of directors on special committees reviewing transactions or individuals on panels reviewing derivative claims. Future challenges to independence or disinterestedness would require new facts.
Jury Trials
Jury trials are generally not available in the Delaware Court, which is the Court in which stockholder suits relating to the internal affairs of a Delaware corporation are typically filed.
Under Texas law, in civil cases, a party generally has a right to a jury trial to determine questions of fact if the party timely demands a jury and pays the jury fee.
Under the Texas Law Amendments, a Texas corporation may, in its governing documents, adopt a waiver of jury trials for internal entity claims, as defined in the TBOC. Such waiver will constitute a knowing waiver if enforced against a party approving the certificate of formation or bylaws or acquiring a security after the adoption of such certificate of formation or bylaws, continuing to hold a security of a public company after such certificate of formation or bylaws are adopted or by other methods permitted under law.
Dissent and Appraisal Rights
Under the DGCL, a stockholder or beneficial owner of a corporation that is a constituent in a merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication, transfer, or continuance may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court.
Under the DGCL, stockholders have no appraisal rights in the event of a merger, consolidation, conversion, domestication,
Under the TBOC, except for the limited classes of mergers, consolidations, sales and asset dispositions for which no shareholder approval is required under Texas law, shareholders of Texas corporations with voting rights have dissenters’ rights in the event of a merger, consolidation, interest exchange, conversion, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all, or substantially all, the property and assets of the corporation.
However, a shareholder of a Texas corporation has no dissenters’ rights with

respect to any plan of merger or conversion in which there is a single surviving or new domestic or foreign corporation, or with respect to any plan of exchange if: (1) the ownership interest, or a depository receipt in respect of the ownership interest, held by the owner is part of a class or series of ownership interests, or depository receipts in respect of ownership interests, that are, on the record date set for purposes of determining which owners are entitled to vote on the plan of merger, conversion, or exchange, as appropriate: (A) listed on a national securities exchange; or (B) held of record by at least 2,000 owners; (2) the owner is not required by the terms of the plan of merger, conversion, or exchange, as appropriate, to accept for the owner’s ownership interest any consideration that is different from the consideration to be provided to any other holder of an ownership interest of the same class or series as the ownership interest held by the owner, other than cash instead of fractional shares or interests the owner would otherwise be entitled to receive; and (3) the owner is not required by the terms of the plan of merger, conversion, or exchange, as appropriate, to accept for the owner’s ownership interest any consideration other than: (A) ownership interests, or depository receipts in respect of ownership interests, of another entity of the same general organizational type that, immediately after the effective date of the merger, conversion, or exchange, as appropriate, will be part of a class or series of ownership interests, or depository receipts in respect of ownership interests, that are: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or authorized for listing on the exchange on official notice of issuance; or (ii) held of record by at least 2,000 owners; (B) cash instead of fractional ownership interests the owner would otherwise be entitled to receive; or (C) any combination of the ownership interests and cash above.
Under the TBOC, an owner of an ownership interest in a Texas domestic entity subject to dissenters’ rights is entitled to dissent from an amendment to a Texas for-profit corporation’s certificate of formation to add required provisions to elect to be a public benefit corporation or delete required provisions, which in effect cancels the corporation’s election to be a public benefit corporation if the owner owns shares that

were entitled to vote on the amendment; except if the shares held by the owner are part of a class or series of shares listed on a national securities exchange; or held of record by at least 2,000 owners.
Independence of Corporate Statute
Delaware does not have an analogous statute.
The TBOC prohibits the plain meaning of the statutes under the TBOC from being supplanted, contravened, or modified by the laws or judicial decisions of any other jurisdiction.
What Changes After Texas Redomestication?
The Texas Redomestication will effect a change in the legal domicile of the Company and other changes, the most significant of which are described below.
Following the Texas Redomestication, the Company will be governed by the TBOC instead of the DGCL, and the Company will be governed by the Texas Certificate of Formation and the Texas Bylaws instead of the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws. Approval of this Proposal will constitute approval of the Plan of Conversion, the Texas Certificate of Formation and the Texas Bylaws.
The Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws will no longer be in effect following completion of the Texas Redomestication.
What Doesn’t Change After Texas Redomestication?
By virtue of the Texas Redomestication, the Texas Corporation will be a continuation of the Delaware Corporation and all of the rights, privileges, and powers of the Delaware Corporation, and all property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts due to the Delaware Corporation, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the Delaware Corporation, will remain vested in the Texas Corporation and will be the property of the Texas Corporation, and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in the Delaware Corporation will not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Texas Redomestication, but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of the Delaware Corporation will be preserved unimpaired. In addition, all debts, liabilities, and duties of the Delaware Corporation will remain attached to the Texas Corporation and may be enforced against the Texas Corporation to the same extent as if these debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as the Texas Corporation. The rights, privileges, powers and interest in property of the Delaware Corporation, as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of the Delaware Corporation, will not be deemed, as a consequence of the Texas Redomestication, to have been transferred to the Texas Corporation for any purpose of the laws of the State of Delaware.
No Change in Business, Jobs or Physical Location
The Texas Redomestication will not result in any change in business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of the Company’s offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the transaction costs related to the Texas Redomestication and the cost of corporate franchise taxes). The Company intends to maintain the corporate headquarters in Texas.
The management of the Company, including all directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the Texas Redomestication and will have identical positions with the Texas Corporation.
No Change in Contractual Rights and Obligations
The Company’s rights and obligations under its material contractual arrangements will continue as rights and obligations of the Texas Corporation.
To the extent that the Redomestication will require the consent or waiver of a third party under any material contract, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent or waiver before completing the Redomestication. The Company does not expect that any such required consent or waiver will impede its ability to redomesticate to Texas. The Company further does not expect that the Redomestication will otherwise adversely affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties.

No Exchange Act Consequences
The Company will continue to be a publicly held company following completion of the Texas Redomestication, and the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas and traded under the symbol “TPL.” The Company will continue to file required periodic reports and other documents with the SEC. The Company does not expect there to be any interruption in the trading of the Company’s common stock as a result of the Texas Redomestication. The Company and its stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Texas Redomestication as the Company and its stockholders were prior to the Texas Redomestication.
No Material Accounting Implications
The Company expects that the Texas Redomestication will have no effect from an accounting perspective and that the financial statements of the Delaware Corporation previously filed with the SEC will remain the financial statements of the Texas Corporation following the conversion.
No Exchange of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Entitlements Required
Stockholders will not have to exchange their existing stock certificates or book-entry entitlements for new stock certificates or book-entry entitlements. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Delaware Corporation Common Stock will automatically be converted into one share of Texas Corporation Common Stock and stock certificates or book-entry entitlements will represent the same number of shares of the Texas Corporation as they represented of the Delaware Corporation. If a stockholder holds physical stock certificates, the stockholder does not have to exchange the existing stock certificates evidencing shares of the Company for stock certificates evidencing shares of the Texas Corporation; however, after the Texas Redomestication, any shareholder desiring a new stock certificate may submit the existing stock certificate to Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, (“Equiniti”) for cancellation and obtain a new certificate by contacting Equiniti at telephone 800-468-9716.
All of the Company’s obligations under the Company’s equity compensation plans will be obligations of the Texas Corporation. Each stock or unit award will be converted to an equivalent award with the same terms issued by the Texas Corporation.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
The Company believes that for federal income tax purposes no gain or loss will be recognized by the Company, the Texas Corporation, or the stockholders of the Company who receive the Texas Corporation Common Stock for their Delaware Corporation Common Stock, in connection with the Texas Redomestication. The aggregate tax basis of the Texas Corporation Common Stock received by a stockholder of the Company as a result of the Texas Redomestication will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Delaware Corporation Common Stock converted into that Texas Corporation Common Stock held by that stockholder as a capital asset at the time of the Texas Redomestication. Each stockholder’s holding period of the Texas Corporation Common Stock received in the Texas Redomestication will include the holding period of the common stock converted into that Texas Corporation Common Stock, provided the shares are held by such stockholder as a capital asset at the time of the Texas Redomestication.
This Proxy Statement only discusses U.S. federal income tax consequences and has done so only for general information. It does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders based upon individual circumstances or to stockholders who are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, stockholders who hold their stock through a partnership or as part of a straddle or other derivative arrangement, foreign holders or holders who acquired their shares as compensation, whether through employee restricted stock units or otherwise. This Proxy Statement does not address the tax consequences of the Texas Redomestication under state, local or foreign laws. State, local or foreign income tax consequences to stockholders may vary from the federal income tax consequences described above, and stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences to them of the Texas Redomestication under all applicable tax laws.
This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial authority and administrative rulings and practice, all in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement, all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has neither requested nor received a tax opinion from legal counsel or rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the consequences of the Texas Redomestication. Future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions may alter the consequences discussed above.

PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL OF THE REDOMESTICATION OF THE COMPANY FROM DELAWARE TO TEXAS BY CONVERSION
Stockholders should consult their own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to them of the Texas Redomestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
Additional Information
Regulatory Matters
In connection with the Texas Redomestication, the Company intends to make filings with the Secretary of State of Texas and the Secretary of State of Delaware, and the secretary of state of each other state where the Company is qualified to transact business and does not anticipate making any other state corporate law filings to effect the Texas Redomestication.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Section 262 of the DGCL, holders of Delaware Corporation Common Stock are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Texas Redomestication described in this proposal.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Texas Redomestication
As described above, Texas law may provide greater protection to the Company’s officers and directors than provided under Delaware law. As a result, stockholders should be aware in voting on the Texas Redomestication Proposal that the Company’s directors and officers may be considered to have interests in the Texas Redomestication that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the stockholders generally. The Board has considered these potential interests, among other matters, in reaching the decision to approve the Texas Redomestication.
Anti-Takeover Implications
The Texas Redomestication is not being effected to prevent a change of control, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to the Board to acquire control of the Company or to obtain representation on the Board. Nevertheless, certain effects of the Texas Redomestication may be considered to have anti-takeover implications by virtue of the Company being subject to Texas law.
Legal Proceedings
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company does not have any legal proceedings pending in Delaware.
Effect of Not Obtaining the Required Vote for Approval
If the Texas Redomestication Proposal fails to obtain the requisite vote for approval, the Texas Redomestication will not be consummated, and the Company’s domicile will remain in Delaware.
Conclusion
After careful review of all of the factors, taken together, the Board believes that the Texas Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and the Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Texas Redomestication Proposal.
Vote Required
The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” this proposal.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 4.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD STRUCTURE
Stockholder Engagement and Communications with Directors
Our management team and our Board value, and regularly solicit and respond to, the views of our stockholders. We engage in open dialogue and direct communication with our stockholders on a variety of topics, including our business and growth strategy, financial performance, corporate governance and executive compensation practices. The feedback we receive during these engagements is incorporated in the Board’s deliberations and has informed enhancements to our financial disclosures, changes to our Board composition and governance framework and other initiatives.
Stockholder Outreach, Engagement and Feedback
For the past several years, we have increased the frequency and scope of our stockholder engagement activities, actively solicited stockholder feedback and, when appropriate and determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, made changes to our governance, compensation and other practices in response to the stockholder feedback we received.
In May 2026, in response to stockholder interest in an investor day event, we hosted an investor presentation and water field visit to our facility in Midland, Texas. The event began with a presentation at the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum from our senior management and water teams, as well as remarks from the Bolt Data & Energy, Inc. (“Bolt”) team, a company in which we made a minority investment pursuant to a strategic agreement. Presentation topics included:

The history of our water business, TPWR;

Water sales;

Produced water royalties;

Produced water desalination; and

Data centers.
Following the presentation and lunch, attendees were transported to our Midland Yard for a field tour. Stockholders visited multiple stations hosted by various members of the water team at the Midland Yard, including an active frac pond, water treatment tank, water well, and our facility, which houses a laboratory, greenhouse and a freeze desalination test unit. More than 100 stockholders attended the investor day event, where they were able to ask questions and interface directly with members of our water team, senior management and Board. The response to this investor day was very positive, and specific feedback was discussed with management and relayed to the Board.
In August 2026, we hosted a grand opening event at TPWR’s 10,000-barrel-per-day fractional freeze produced water desalination facility located outside of Orla, Texas. We welcomed nearly 200 guests to the new facility, including regulators, politicians from Texas and New Mexico, interest group representatives, customers and suppliers, media members and stockholders. Following lunch and opening remarks, guests attended the official ribbon cutting ceremony, which marked the opening of the facility, and took tours of the facility guided by TPWR representatives. Guests were engaged, asking questions about the technology and process, and the response from attendees to the event and our produced water initiative has been positive.
We remain committed to regular engagement with our stockholders and other stakeholders and welcome their views on corporate governance, executive compensation, business strategy, performance and other topics. We invite stockholders to email us at IR@texaspacific.com with any suggestions, comments or inquiries.
Stockholder Engagement Regarding Executive Compensation
Prior to the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, at the direction of our Compensation Committee, TPL management reached out to 10 of our largest stockholders, representing more than 20% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (measured as of September 12, 2023), to discuss our executive compensation program along with other topics of importance to them. Four stockholders, representing approximately 10% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (measured as of September 12, 2023) accepted our invitation to share feedback.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD STRUCTURE
In 2024, we reached out to stockholders representing 48% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and held meetings with stockholders representing 32% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (measured as of September 3, 2024) to consider their perspectives on various issues, including executive compensation. Independent members of our Board participated in and led each of these meetings with stockholders. The participating members of our Board were joined in these meetings by one or more of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, and Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations.
In 2025, we engaged ICR, LLC (“ICR”), a strategic communications and advisory firm, to conduct a perception study survey of our stockholders to consider their perspectives on various issues, including strategy, capital allocation, governance and investor relations. ICR reached out to approximately 50 participants to participate in this survey. The survey also asked broadly for feedback on our governance and overall thoughts on performance. Respondents did not provide specific feedback on or suggest any changes to our compensation program.
Following each of these efforts, the Compensation Committee met with senior management to discuss what we learned during this comprehensive outreach process. In general, we learned that stockholders with which we engaged were not seeking significant changes to our compensation program. Many expressed support for our overall compensation philosophy and suggested modest changes, if any, including enhancing our proxy statement disclosures and increasing the proportion of performance-based equity that we award over time.
Communication with Directors
The Board is committed to meaningful engagement with stockholders and other interested persons and welcomes input and suggestions. Information regarding how stockholders can contact the Chair or non-management members of the Board is set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are posted on the Company’s corporate website, www.TexasPacific.com. Stockholders and other interested persons who wish to contact the Board may do so by submitting any communications to the Company by mail at 2699 Howell Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75204, Attention: Investor Relations, with an instruction to forward the communication to a particular director or the Board as a whole. Our Board has created a number of ways for stockholders and other stakeholders to provide input and hear from management, including:

Attending an annual meeting of stockholders and submitting questions to be addressed during the meeting;

Attending quarterly earnings calls, investor conferences, and other similar opportunities;

Sending an email to our Investor Relations department at IR@texaspacific.com;

Mailing a letter to us at 2699 Howell Street, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75204, Attention: Investor Relations; and

Requesting a stockholder engagement meeting via one of the means outlined here.
Our Investor Relations team, in consultation with the General Counsel, will not forward any communication that it determines in good faith to be frivolous, unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable. The General Counsel maintains a list of each communication that was not forwarded because it was so determined to be unsuitable. Such list is delivered to the Board at its quarterly meetings. In addition, each communication that was not forwarded because it was determined to be unsuitable will be retained in the Company’s files and made available at the request of any member of the Board to whom such communication was addressed.
Board Structure and Committees
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board is led by the Chair. Mr. Best serves as the Chair and is an independent director. Our Delaware Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines each provide that the Chair of the Board may also hold the position of Chief Executive Officer. At this time, the Board believes that separation of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer positions is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board believes that such separation provides independent leadership for the Board, helps ensure critical and independent thinking with respect to the Company’s strategy and performance and allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the Company’s day-to-day business operations. Our Chief Executive Officer also serves as a member of the Board as the management representative. The Company believes this is important to make information and insight directly available to the directors in their deliberations. This structure gives the Company an appropriate, well-functioning balance between non-management and management directors that combines experience, accountability, and effective risk oversight.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD STRUCTURE
The duties of the Chair include, among other things:

Chairing Board meetings and meetings of stockholders;

Establishing the agenda for each Board meeting;

Leading executive sessions of the Board;

Having authority to call Board meetings;

Approving meeting schedules for the Board and information distributed to the Board;

Consulting with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee with regard to the membership and performance evaluations of the Board and committee members; and

Performing such other duties and responsibilities as may be requested by the Board.
In the event the Chair does not qualify as independent, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require the independent directors to select from among themselves a lead independent director. The duties of a lead independent director are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and include chairing Board meetings in the absence of the Chair, convening and leading executive sessions of the Board, serving as a liaison between the Chair and the independent directors, being available for consultation and director communication with major stockholders as directed by the Board, and performing such other duties and responsibilities as requested by the Board.
Board of Directors
The Board currently consists of nine (9) directors, eight (8) of whom — Mr. Best, Gen. Cook, Mr. Doyle, Ms. Duganier, Ms. Epps, Mr. Kurz, Mr. Roosa and Ms. Woung-Chapman — are considered “independent” under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE. No director may be deemed independent unless the Board determines that he or she has no material relationship with TPL. Mr. Best serves as the Chair. In light of Mr. Best’s extensive experience in the energy industry and service on public company boards, the Board believes that he is well-positioned to serve as Chair.
The Board meets at least quarterly, and the independent directors serving on the Board meet in executive session (i.e., without the presence of any non-independent directors and management) immediately following regularly scheduled Board meetings. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Last Fiscal Year”), the Board met eight (8) times and acted by written consent in lieu of holding a meeting five (5) times. All of the directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held by the Board and of the committees on which they served during the Last Fiscal Year. While the Company does not have a policy requiring director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, each director is expected to attend the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders. Each member of the Board who was serving at the time of the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders attended our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.
The Board has four standing committees, consisting of a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Strategic Acquisitions Committee. Membership of each committee as of the date of this Proxy Statement is shown in the following table.

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, ensuring that the Company has adequate internal controls and is required to meet with the Company’s auditors to review these internal controls and to discuss other financial reporting matters. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, pre-approval of work, compensation, and oversight of the auditors and for overseeing enterprise risk management, including oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee periodically reviews the Company’s policies and practices for managing cybersecurity risks, data security and artificial intelligence, including incident response plans, to ensure that such policies and practices are appropriately tailored to the Company’s risk framework.

Corporate Governance
The Company is committed to conducting its business in accordance with the highest level of ethical and corporate governance standards. The Board periodically reviews its corporate governance practices and takes other actions to address changes in regulatory requirements, developments in governance best practices and matters raised by stockholders. The following describes some of the actions the Company has taken to help ensure that our conduct earns the respect and trust of stockholders, customers, business partners, employees, and the communities in which we live and work.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Board has developed corporate governance policies and practices in order to help fulfill its responsibilities to stockholders and provide a flexible framework for it to review, evaluate, and oversee the Company’s business operations and management. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set the standards, among other things, with respect to:

Director independence;

Criteria for selection of director candidates;

Board refreshment;

Board leadership structure;

Requirements for service on the Board;

Conflicts of interest;

Confidentiality;

Board and Board committees’ policies regarding director attendance;

Criteria for Board and management evaluation;

Director compensation; and

Communication.
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees and periodically reviews the Corporate Governance Guidelines and recommends any proposed changes to the Board for approval.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all members of the Board, executive officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s corporate website at www.TexasPacific.com. We will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our corporate website.
Risk Oversight
The Company believes that risk oversight is the responsibility of the Board as a whole and not solely of any one of its committees. The Board recognizes that all companies face a variety of risks, including strategic risk, reputational risk, environmental risk and operational risk. The Board periodically reviews the processes established by management to identify and manage risks and communicates with management about these processes. The Board encourages, and

management promotes, a corporate culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations, including with respect to the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints or other expressions of concern received from employees of the Company or other persons. The Board also continuously assesses and analyzes, with the input of management, the most likely areas of future risk to which we may be vulnerable.
At the Board committee level, the Audit Committee regularly discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, the Company’s major litigation and financial risk exposures, compliance, cybersecurity, data security, use of artificial intelligence, information technology and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Compensation Committee oversees risks arising from the Company’s compensation and employee benefits plans, policies and programs for its employees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, with assistance from the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, oversees our sustainability program and monitors related risks. The Board and the various committee chairs address any issues identified in such discussions and reviews with management as they arise, and monitor actions, procedures or processes implemented in response.
Our General Counsel serves as our chief compliance officer and periodically reviews the effectiveness of the Company’s compliance programs and responds to, and monitors the status and response to, compliance issues that may arise from time to time. The General Counsel reports to the Chief Executive Officer.
Audit Committee Procedures; Procedures for Approval of Related Person Transactions
The Audit Committee meets separately and periodically with the Company’s independent auditor, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the Director of Internal Audit to assess certain matters, including the status of the independent audit process, management and the independent auditor’s assessments of the Company’s financial reporting and internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and management’s views as to the competence, performance and independence of the independent auditor. The Audit Committee oversees the internal audit function, including its structure, personnel, budget, and annual internal audit plans. In addition, the Audit Committee, as a whole, reviews and meets to discuss the annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor. The Audit Committee makes a recommendation to the Board each year as to whether the annual audited financial statements should be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Information about the procedures for approval of related person transactions is available under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management — Transactions with Related Persons” on page 71 below.
Other Governance Matters
Qualifications and Nominations of Directors
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter provides that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee screen, recruit and interview individuals that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes are qualified to become members of the Board, consistent with criteria approved by the Board from time to time, and to recommend to the Board the (a) director nominees to be selected by the Board to stand for election or re-election at the annual meeting of stockholders and (b) director candidates to be appointed by the Board to fill vacancies and newly created directorships. The Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determine the minimum qualifications that a director nominee should possess on a case by case basis and typically evaluate candidates based on factors including, but not limited to, a general understanding of finance, corporate governance and strategy, senior leadership experience, public company board experience, an understanding of the Company’s business and industry, diversity of background, perspectives and experiences, character, whether the candidate would satisfy the independence standards of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and the other skills identified in the matrix included in “Proposal 1 — Election of Directors — Qualifications and Experience” above. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee aim to identify a diverse group of candidates and believe that no single criterion such as gender or minority status is determinative in obtaining diversity on the Board.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews periodically the size of the Board and oversees an annual self-evaluation of the Board and its committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Whenever the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee concludes, based on the reviews or considerations described above or due to a vacancy, that a new nominee to the Board is required or advisable, it will consider recommendations from directors, management, stockholders and, if it deems appropriate, consultants retained for that purpose. In such circumstances, it will evaluate individuals recommended by stockholders in the same manner as nominees recommended from other sources.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD STRUCTURE
Stockholders who wish to nominate an individual for election as a director directly, without going through the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, must comply with the procedures in the Delaware Bylaws. Our Delaware Bylaws also permit qualified stockholders or groups of stockholders to include nominations for election as a director in our proxy materials by complying with the proxy access provisions in our Delaware Bylaws.
Our Board has adopted a “majority vote policy.” Under this policy any nominee for director in an uncontested election who does not receive a majority of the votes cast and is an incumbent director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation, subject to acceptance by the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action should be taken. The Board will then act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose its decision regarding the tendered resignation within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results. A director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee nor the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation.
Insider Trading Policy; Anti-Hedging Policy
We have an Insider Trading Policy that sets forth terms, conditions, timing, limitations, and prohibitions with respect to trading in the Company’s securities. The Insider Trading Policy prohibits all employees, executive officers, directors, agents, consultants and contractors from trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material nonpublic information. Such persons are also generally prohibited from hedging, including engaging in publicly-traded options, puts, calls, or other derivative instruments relating to the Company’s securities or selling the Company’s securities “short.” The Insider Trading Policy also requires that such persons obtain pre-approval from the Company’s General Counsel for all pledges, and the deposit in margin accounts, of the Company’s securities and the securities of any other company designated by the Company’s General Counsel. The Insider Trading Policy also restricts directors, officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and certain other specifically designated employees from trading in the Company’s securities during certain periods and only after they have obtained pre-clearance for trades in the Company’s securities from the Company’s General Counsel (or, in the case of the General Counsel, the Chief Financial Officer). While the Company is not subject to the Insider Trading Policy, it does not trade in its securities when it is in possession of material nonpublic information other than pursuant to previously adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements.
Clawback Policy
The Company has adopted a Clawback Policy in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and Rule 10D-1 promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 10D”). In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the Clawback Policy requires that covered executives must reimburse the Company, or forfeit, any excess incentive compensation received by such covered executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement. Executives covered by the Clawback Policy are current and former executive officers, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 10D and the NYSE Listed Company Manual, as well as such other senior executives and employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Clawback Policy by the Board. Incentive compensation subject to the Clawback Policy includes any cash or equity compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure as defined in Section 10D. The amount subject to recovery is the excess of the incentive compensation received based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been received had it been based on the restated results.
Sustainability
Our current sustainability disclosure is available at our website at www.TexasPacific.com. Our sustainability disclosure has been prepared to align with the Sustainable Accounting Standards Board, the Global Reporting Initiative, and the Task Force on Climate Related Disclosures frameworks.
Our sustainability strategy reflects our dedication to meeting tactical business priorities while managing the environmental impacts of our operations, maintaining principles for social responsibility, and upholding a commitment to strong corporate governance. Our sustainability strategy is focused on the overarching priorities of environmental management, employee health and safety, workforce management and equality, community and landowner

engagement, and strong corporate governance and ethics. We are committed to sustainability and responsible stewardship across all of our operations and land management activities.
As we do not produce oil or gas from the land from which our royalty revenue stream is derived, we developed our sustainability goals and partnership opportunities in consultation with the entities operating on our land. On the water solutions side of our business, we developed a tailored sustainability program that addresses the responsible buildout of water assets and management of water as a natural resource. Our continued goal is an integrated and iterative approach to sustainable and responsible resource management.
Our sustainability accomplishments and goals include, but are not limited to:

Increased the electrification of our water assets in an effort to reduce costs and mitigate our overall emission profile by reducing reliance on diesel generators. Cumulatively through December 31, 2025, we spent $25.2 million of capital on electric infrastructure.

Initiated energy tracking in 2020 to monitor and identify trends in energy consumption and sourcing.

Prioritized the health and welfare of our workforce.

Employed practices for the tracking and monitoring of all spills, regardless of whether they fall within or outside of regulatory reporting requirements. We had zero reportable spills of produced water in 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Partnered with oil and gas operators on the Company’s surface estate to collectively discuss and manage sustainability risks. Partnership opportunities included: developing renewable energy infrastructure across our land, developing water infrastructure to support the reuse and recycling of produced water — a critical response to climate change, partnering to develop new technologies that support emissions management, and more.

Instituted a governance framework that includes oversight and stewardship of our sustainability strategies. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews our policies and programs concerning corporate social responsibility, including sustainability matters, with the support of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, where appropriate. The committees provide guidance to the Board and management with respect to trends and developments regarding environmental, social, governance, and political matters that could significantly impact the Company.
The disclosure denotes that the Company’s sustainability strategy, including metrics and targets, will be continuously reviewed and assessed annually to determine if updates or process improvements are needed.
Our full sustainability disclosure is available at www.TexasPacific.com/sustainability.
Human Capital Resources
We believe we have a talented, motivated and dedicated team, and we are committed to supporting the development of our team members and continuously building on our strong culture. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 114 full-time employees, of which 35 were employees of TPWR, and as of August 1, 2026, the Company had 132 employees, of which 39 were employees of TPWR.
Our business strategy and ability to serve customers relies on employing talented professionals and attracting, training, developing and retaining a knowledgeable skilled workforce. We maintain a good working relationship with our employees. We value our employees and their experience in providing value through land, mineral and water resource management and water solutions. Maintaining a robust pipeline of talent is crucial to our ongoing success and is a key aspect of succession planning efforts across the organization. Our leadership and human resources teams are responsible for attracting and retaining top talent by facilitating an environment where employees feel supported and encouraged in their professional and personal development.
We strive to be a great place for our employees to work. Accordingly, we offer industry competitive pay and benefits, tuition reimbursement and continuing education classes and are committed to maintaining a workplace environment that promotes employee productivity and satisfaction.
Employee safety is also among our top priorities. Accordingly, we have developed and administer company-wide policies to ensure a safe and fair workplace free of discrimination or harassment for each team member and compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) standards, as further discussed in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. This commitment applies to recruiting, hiring, compensation, benefits, training, termination, promotions or any other terms and conditions of employment. We maintain our strong focus on safety and have taken measures to protect our employees and maintain safe, reliable operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Under such rules, an individual or entity is generally deemed to beneficially own any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting or investment power, including any shares that the individual or entity has the right to acquire within 60 days of September 10, 2026 through the exercise of any stock options, through the vesting/settlement of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or upon the exercise of other rights. Shares underlying PSUs will not be deemed beneficially owned by a person even if the PSU may vest within 60 days of September 10, 2026, because the satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions is outside of the person’s control. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock held by each person or group of persons named below, any Common Stock that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of September 10, 2026 is deemed to be outstanding but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished or available to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. There are no arrangements currently known to us, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.

Transactions with Related Persons
TPL generally does not engage in transactions in which TPL’s executive officers or directors (or any of their immediate family members) or any of TPL’s stockholders owning 5% or more of TPL’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (or any of their immediate family members) have a material interest. Should a proposed transaction or series of similar transactions involve any such persons in an amount that exceeds $120,000 in any fiscal year, it will be subject to review and approval by the Audit Committee in accordance with its written policy and procedures adopted by the Board. Transactions entered into that were not related person transactions at the time that they were consummated, but that later become related person transactions during the course of the transaction, will also be subject to review by the Audit Committee in accordance with a written policy adopted by the Board.
In December 2025, the Company made a minority investment in Bolt, a privately held company focused on the development of large-scale data center and energy infrastructure projects. The Company invested $50.0 million in exchange for shares of Series A preferred stock of Bolt, resulting in a minority ownership interest. Prior to the closing of the Company’s investment in Bolt, the Company was informed that HKAM, a wholly owned subsidiary of HKHC, intended to make a significant equity investment in Bolt through various affiliated funds. Murray Stahl, who was a director of the Company at the time, was also the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of HKAM at the time. The Company and the Audit Committee reviewed HKAM’s proposed investment in Bolt and, along with HKAM, undertook

Executive Summary
Our business activity is generated from our surface and royalty interest ownership, primarily in the Permian Basin. Our revenues are derived from oil and gas royalties, water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related income and land sales. Due to the nature of our operations and concentration of our ownership in one geographic location, our revenue and net income are subject to substantial fluctuations from quarter to quarter and year to year. In addition to fluctuations in response to changes in the market price for oil and gas, our financial results are also subject to decisions by the owners and operators of not only the oil and gas wells to which our oil and gas royalty interests relate, but also to other owners and operators in the Permian Basin as it relates to our other revenue streams, principally water sales, produced water royalties, easements and other surface-related revenue.

Key Aspects of 2025 Design
Our compensation program design is intended to meet the following objectives:

Align executives’ financial interests more closely with stockholders;

Tie a substantial portion of executive compensation with the Company’s performance (both stock price and financial performance) to incorporate risk into the awards, while relying heavily on formulaic incentive compensation;

Incorporate long-term vesting periods for a substantial portion of executive compensation to help ensure continuity of the management team;

Ensure transparency for participants and stockholders about how outcomes are determined with an appropriate and competitive level of pay at risk;

Meet common governance standards for public companies, and assess and control the program to avoid creating undue risk or encouraging excessive risk-taking by executives; and

Ensure a competitive compensation program.
We believe that our program, including awards under the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), has an appropriate balance of risk and reward in relation to our overall business strategy and that the balance of compensation elements discourages excessive risk-taking. This program design is consistent with typical practices among our Reference Group (see below) while reflecting the unique aspects of TPL.
Based on positive feedback from our stockholders concerning our 2024 executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee generally maintained the overall compensation program structure in 2025. We have also maintained the key aspects of our compensation program for 2026.
Decision-Making Process
Compensation Philosophy and Approach
TPL’s 2025 executive compensation program was designed to recruit and retain an executive team and to reward performance in achieving TPL’s goal of creating stockholder value. The 2025 executive compensation program consisted principally of a salary, an annual cash incentive (sometimes referred to as awards under a non-equity incentive plan), and long-term share-based compensation as discussed below:

As part of its compensation program, TPL also maintains a qualified defined contribution plan, which is available to employees generally, including the Named Executive Officers. This plan is designed to assist employees in planning for their retirement. TPL also previously maintained a qualified defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of all employees, the Restated Texas Pacific Land Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”). The Pension Plan was frozen as of December 31, 2024, and in conjunction with freezing the Pension Plan, the Board approved a discretionary contribution to the Named Executive Officers’ 401(k) plan for 2025, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below, and to the 401(k) plan for all Company employees for 2025. This discretionary contribution was equal to 6% of total compensation for each eligible participant, subject to the Internal Revenue Service annual compensation limit of $350,000 for each eligible participant. The discretionary contribution for 2025 was made in the first quarter of 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Pension Plan was terminated. See further discussion of the freezing and termination of the Pension Plan in Note 9, “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Consideration of 2025 Say on Pay Vote; Stockholder Engagement
At our November 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 86% of votes cast voted to approve our 2024 executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee viewed this as support of its approach and philosophy and as a basis for continuing with the compensation program described in this CD&A.
In 2025, we engaged ICR, a strategic communications and advisory firm, to conduct a perception study survey of our stockholders to consider their perspectives on various issues, including strategy, capital allocation, governance and overall performance. Respondents generally acknowledged recent changes such as the declassification of the Board and stockholders’ ability to call a special meeting as positives. Certain respondents also stated that the Company’s conversion to a C-corporation has been a success. Respondents did not provide specific feedback on or suggest any changes to our compensation program.
See “Corporate Governance and Board Structure — Stockholder Engagement and Communications with Directors” on page 61 above for a detailed discussion of the Company’s stockholder engagement efforts, including stockholder engagement regarding executive compensation.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Role of the Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to determine the compensation of the Named Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer and to make recommendations to the Board, which has the authority to make final decisions, with respect to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for developing and overseeing an equity compensation program for the Company generally for other employees, and for making recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation for non-employee directors, with assistance from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant.
In establishing the Named Executive Officers’ compensation for 2025, the chair of the Compensation Committee and the full Compensation Committee met multiple times, including with management and the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, to review market practices, evaluate potential alternatives, determine appropriate metrics and goals, and review strategic goals and performance. Additionally, the Compensation Committee reviews performance evaluations of the Named Executive Officers and other officers and a self-evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer.
Role of Management
Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Glover, provided recommendations for compensation for his direct reports, including Mr. Steddum and Mr. Dobbs. Additionally, the management team provided the Compensation Committee with financial performance information to assist with the assessment of company and individual performance in determining the bonuses for 2025. The Compensation Committee considered this information in its decision-making process. No member of management participated in discussions relating to his or her own compensation.
Role of the Independent Consultant
Since 2021, the Compensation Committee has used Meridian Compensation Partners (“Meridian”) as its independent compensation consultant to assist the Compensation Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities related to the oversight of TPL’s executive officer and non-employee director compensation. The Compensation Committee determined that Meridian was independent from management based upon the consideration of various relevant factors, including that Meridian did not provide any services to TPL except advisory services to the Compensation Committee, and that Meridian maintained and adhered to, policies and procedures that were designed to prevent conflicts of interests.
Meridian advises the Compensation Committee in the development of pay strategies regarding our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, and non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and discusses matters involving executive officer and non-employee director compensation. Following this review, the Compensation Committee makes a determination and/or recommendation to the Board, as applicable under the Compensation Committee’s Charter, regarding, among other things, (a) the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the compensation of executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, in each case including salary, bonus, benefits, incentive awards and perquisites, and (b) compensation for TPL’s non-employee directors.
Benchmarking Process
Determining the 2025 Compensation Program
As described below, the Compensation Committee asked Meridian to review market data as part of the process of establishing 2025 compensation for our Named Executive Officers. As part of this process, the Compensation Committee noted that TPL is a unique organization in a number of ways:

It is the largest publicly-traded oil and gas mineral royalty focused organization;

Unlike most oil & gas mineral royalty focused organizations, TPL also owns and manages a large amount of surface rights;

These surface rights allow the creation of additional business lines, such as our water business and surface leases, easements and material (referred to as “SLEM”) and potential investment opportunities, including data centers and power generation infrastructure;

TPL’s legacy assets carry zero basis on the balance sheet; and

TPL’s financial profile is unusual with limited debt, limited book assets, and high margins. TPL also returns a significant portion of its cash flow to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
As a result of these unique characteristics, TPL does not have any direct peers. Instead of reviewing peer group market data, the Compensation Committee asked Meridian to review compensation for a group of comparable reference companies (the “Reference Group”) that may represent our competition for executive talent. The Reference Group (listed below) represents companies that operate in ancillary businesses, such as royalty/non-operating companies (“Royalty/Non-Op”), midstream companies/water companies and exploration and production (“E&P”) companies that have business lines similar to TPL and are similar in market capitalization, enterprise value, and/or Adjusted EBITDA. The table below lists the companies included in our Reference Group for purposes of determining compensation for 2025.

2025 Compensation Program
TPL’s 2025 executive compensation program was designed to reward performance in achieving TPL’s goal of creating stockholder value as detailed below.
Base Salaries
Our Named Executive Officers receive a base salary to provide a competitive level of fixed compensation based on each individual’s role, experience, qualifications, and individual performance. The base salaries as of the end of 2025 for our Named Executive Officers were as follows:
Named Executive Officer
Base Salary as of
December 31, 2025
Tyler Glover $ 850,000
Chris Steddum $ 545,000
Micheal W. Dobbs $ 455,000
The base salary for Mr. Glover is unchanged since 2020. The Compensation Committee increased the base salaries for Mr. Steddum and Mr. Dobbs for 2025 to better align with market data from the Reference Group.
2025 Annual Incentive Targets
Each of the Named Executive Officers is eligible to earn an annual cash bonus, based on the target bonus, which is expressed as a percentage of base salary and established based on references to market data from the Reference Group. The target bonus as a percentage of base salary for each of our Named Executive Officers for 2025 was as follows:
Named Executive Officer

performance metrics (free cash flow (“FCF”) per fully diluted share) and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as several strategic objectives, as outlined below.
2025 Annual (Short-Term) Incentive Program Summary
For 2025, the Compensation Committee approved a change in metrics for the short-term incentive program from Adjusted EBITDA margin to Adjusted EBITDA. As our revenue has grown year-over-year, it has become increasingly difficult to ensure alignment between maximizing FCF and increasing our Adjusted EBITDA margin. While maintaining our high Adjusted EBITDA margin remains a priority for our management team, the Compensation Committee determined that using Adjusted EBITDA as a metric for the short-term incentive program provides a more appropriate incentive for management in maximizing stockholder value. Accordingly, for 2025, annual payouts under the short-term incentive were based on the following metrics and weightings:
Metric
Weight
Rationale
FCF per Fully Diluted Share(1)
50%
Generating FCF is a high priority for TPL, which enables greater returns to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. Measuring FCF on a per share basis ensures that any share dilution is appropriately used to increase FCF.
Adjusted EBITDA
25%
Generating Adjusted EBITDA is a high priority for TPL and represents a strong indicator of business performance.
Strategic Objectives
25%
These objectives were established based on key strategic priorities to ensure long-term success, such as safety and environmental performance, increasing use of TPL’s land, SLEM, and water services, leveraging TPL’s land to explore other non-oil and gas revenue streams, increased operational enhancements through integrated technology solutions, and generating an appropriate return on new capital spend.
(1)
Calculated as FCF divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Goals for each of the 2025 metrics were established at the beginning of 2025, based on expectations for the year. The threshold, target, and maximum levels of performance for each performance metric are outlined below. At threshold, target, and maximum performance levels, 50%, 100%, and 200% of the target bonus would be earned, respectively, for each metric:

Per share amounts reflect the three-for-one stock split effected on December 22, 2025.
Our performance against the pre-established financial goals can be heavily influenced by the impact of changes in commodity prices. To mitigate this impact, the Compensation Committee has implemented a commodity adjustment calculation which uses a collar on commodity prices. Within the collar range, no adjustment is made for commodity prices. If our total commodity price realization falls below or rises above the collar range, a floor or cap on prices is applied. This provides our Named Executive Officers with some exposure to commodity price fluctuations, in line with our stockholders, but limits exposure to significant changes in commodity prices. In 2025, the collar for commodity prices ranged from $30.00 per Boe to $48.00 per Boe. Actual realizations of $34.18 per Boe were within the range of the collar for 2025, thus no adjustment to price per Boe was necessary for determining Adjusted EBITDA and FCF per fully diluted share.
Based on final financial results, we exceeded the target level on both of the financial metrics, earning 124% of target on the FCF per fully diluted share metric and 126% of target on the Adjusted EBITDA metric.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee also established strategic objectives for the year, which were intended to encourage our Named Executive Officers to take action to improve our long-term opportunities for success, but which did not directly impact financial results in 2025. The material aspects of the objectives are outlined below.
Strategic Objectives
Results
Safety: Maintain a total recordable incident rate (“TRIR”) score at or below the industry average No reported safety incidents; TRIR score is zero
ESG: Remain below FY21 Scope 1 Emissions level (assuming no significant acquisitions) Scope 1 emissions declined 17% compared to 2021 levels resulting from electrification of water facilities
Environmental: Zero produced water spills
Zero spills
Growth: Increase out of basin disposal volumes by 100% and execute one additional long-term agreement Exceeded disposal volume increase of 100%; Executed contract with an 8-year term.
Growth: Transmissive Phase 2B 65% operational capacity Transmissive Phase 2B construction paused to allow testing and potential incorporation of additional desalination equipment. Construction completion expected in first half of 2026.
Technology: Develop and implement integrated solutions to improve the efficiency of manual tasks, streamline data collection and workflows, and enhance revenue management, achieving a 20% reduction in manual effort Accomplishments include, but are not limited to: (i) water treatment data collection and analysis — automated 90% of manual steps, saving an estimated 10-20 hours per week; (ii) developed integrated source water application, saving an estimated eight plus days per month of manual processing; and (iii) other improvements to mineral and surface data management.
Capital Returns: For minerals/royalties, achieve 12% pre-tax cash flow yield for acquired minerals and royalties portfolio; for surface and water assets, achieve 8% ROIC for acquisitions closed since 2023
Royalties/minerals portfolio generated 16% pre-tax cash flow yield for 2025.
Surface/water acquisitions generated a 9% ROIC for 2025 including acquisitions closed since 2023.
Given the challenging nature of the strategic objectives and the 2025 actual results, the Compensation Committee scored the strategic objectives at 120% of target.
Based on the achievement of all three metrics, bonuses were earned at 123% of target for each of the Named Executive Officers, as outlined below:
Named Executive Officer
Actual Bonus for 2025
Tyler Glover $ 1,150,050
Chris Steddum $ 670,350
Micheal W. Dobbs $ 447,720
2025 Long-Term Incentive Program
We maintain a long-term incentive plan for key employees at TPL, including the Named Executive Officers. The goals of the long-term incentive plan include:

Align executives’ financial interests with stockholders.

Tie executive compensation with long-term performance.

Create a retention incentive through a substantial forfeitable balance with long-term vesting.

Provide a competitive compensation program aligned with typical company practices.
To meet the objectives of the program, the Compensation Committee established a long-term incentive program for the Named Executive Officers that uses a combination of PSUs and RSUs. Each of the primary equity incentive vehicles is summarized in the table below and described in more detail later in this section.

Rationale
PSUs Tied to Relative Total Stockholder Return (“RTSR”) against the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (“XOP”) Index
25%
Earned if TPL performs well against a broad group of energy companies included in the XOP index. The maximum amount can only be earned if TPL is in the top 10% of this index.
PSUs Tied to Three-Year Cumulative FCF per Fully Diluted Share
25%
Earned if TPL meets pre-established goals for generating FCF over the three-year performance period. Generating FCF enables greater returns to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
Time-Based Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
50%
Increases alignment between executives’ interests and stockholders through share ownership of our executive team. Encourages continuity of the management team due to long-term (three-year) vesting provisions.
Performance Share Units (PSUs)
PSUs comprised 50% of our Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive compensation for 2025. The Compensation Committee believes that PSUs create alignment between our executive officers and our long-term performance as measured by RTSR against a broad energy industry index (50% of PSUs) and the generation of FCF per fully diluted share over a three-year period (50% of PSUs). These awards cliff vest, if at all, at the end of a three-year performance period.
The PSUs tied to RTSR (the “RTSR PSUs”) are intended to measure the performance of TPL’s stock against a broad set of energy industry companies, approximately 53 companies, included in the XOP index. Measuring RTSR against this group helps mitigate the impact of commodity price swings on the measurement of our performance. While we do not have any direct peers, the broad XOP index comprises many of our customers and other companies that are similarly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices.
The RTSR PSUs can be earned between 0% and 200% of the target number of shares based on our RTSR percentile ranking against the constituents of the XOP index as follows:
Percentile Rank
Shares Earned as a % of Target(1)
90th or above
200%

150%
50th
100%

< 25th

Payouts are interpolated between the points in the table.
RTSR is measured using an average closing price at the beginning and end of the performance period. In the case of the 2025 awards, the average closing price over the month of December 2027 will be compared against the average closing price over the month of December 2024, assuming reinvestment of dividends from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2027.
The remaining 50% of PSUs (the “FCF PSUs”) measure our cumulative FCF per fully diluted share against our initial targets over a three-year period. If the Company is able to outperform and generate greater FCF, it will help enable an increase in returns to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. Measuring FCF on a per share basis requires our Named Executive Officers to ensure any dilution to our stockholders results in sufficiently greater FCF on an absolute basis.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
RSUs made up the other 50% of our Named Executive Officers’ long-term incentive compensation for 2025. Regular grants of RSUs are intended to help build an ownership stake in TPL, thereby further aligning the interests of our Named Executive Officers with the interests of TPL stockholders. The RSUs serve as a retention tool by creating a substantial forfeitable stake in the Company. The RSUs vest based on continued service to TPL in one-third increments per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.
2025 Long-Term Incentive Grants
In early 2025, the Compensation Committee established target long-term incentive grant levels for each of the Named Executive Officers based on a review of market data from the Reference Group and consideration of other factors such as experience and expertise, individual and Company performance, and potential competitive opportunities for each of our Named Executive Officers. The target long-term incentive grant levels were established as a percentage of base salary and converted into a number of units based on the stock price on the grant date.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Other Compensation
Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the same benefit programs as are available to all TPL employees generally, including our qualified defined contribution plan. Our qualified defined contribution plan is designed to assist employees in planning for their retirement. There are no supplemental non-qualified programs that are maintained solely for the benefit of our Named Executive Officers.
TPL also provides certain Named Executive Officers with minimal perquisites, including an automobile allowance.
Other Governance Features
Stock Ownership Guidelines
We believe that it is in the best interests of our stockholders for our executive officers, including our Named Executive Officers, to maintain a significant ownership position in TPL to create substantial alignment between our senior management and our stockholders. Therefore, we have established stock ownership guidelines applicable to all of our executive officers. The ownership guidelines require each of our executive officers to hold shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value of at least a specified multiple of base salary as follows:

Chief Executive Officer — 5x base salary

Other Named Executive Officers — 2x base salary

Other Executive Officers — 1x base salary
Shares of stock counting towards the guideline include TPL stock held outright and unvested time-based restricted stock. PSUs and RSUs do not count until they vest. Until and unless each officer has achieved the desired ownership level, he or she is required to retain at least 50% of the after-tax shares received upon vesting of equity awards. All executives are in compliance with these guidelines as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with each Named Executive Officer following approval by the Compensation Committee. These employment agreements provide for minimum levels of compensation and provide severance protections for the officer upon a termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason (each as defined in the applicable agreement). These agreements help match competitive practices and also include certain restrictive covenants designed to protect the Company. The provisions of these agreements are summarized under the section titled “Employment Agreements” below.
Accounting and Tax Considerations
In setting the components of our executive compensation program, the Committee considers the impact of the following tax and accounting provisions:

Code Section 162(m).   Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally disallows a tax deduction by public companies for compensation over $1 million paid individually to covered employees, as defined in the Code. Tax deductibility is only one factor considered by the Compensation Committee in making compensation decisions that are in the best interest of TPL and our stockholders.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “Stock Compensation” ​(“ASC Topic 718”).   ASC Topic 718 requires a public company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity based on the grant date fair value of the award. Our equity awards to the Named Executive Officers (and to our other employees) are structured in a manner that is intended to maintain the appropriate accounting treatment.

Code Section 409A.   Section 409A of the Code provides that deferrals of compensation under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement are to be included in an individual’s current gross income to the extent that such deferrals are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and have not previously been included in the individual’s gross income, unless certain requirements are met. We structure our stock plans, change of control agreements, severance plans and agreements and other incentive plans and agreements, each to the extent they are subject to Section 409A, to be in compliance with or exempt from Section 409A.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Code Sections 280G and 4999.   Our Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements provide that, upon a change of control (as defined in the employment agreements), we will either (i) reduce the amount of severance benefits otherwise payable to the executive officer so that such severance benefits will not be subject to excise tax for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, or (ii) pay the full amount of severance benefits to the executive officer (but with no tax “gross-up”), whichever produces the better after-tax result for the executive officer (often referred to as the “best-of-net” approach).
Risk Assessment
The Compensation Committee has reviewed the relationship between our risk management policies and compensation policies and practices and concluded that we have not implemented compensation policies or practices that expose us to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on TPL. The Compensation Committee identified several risk mitigators in place, including:

High level metrics under broad influence, and no special incentive plans for specific groups;

Diversified performance metrics;

Balanced pay mix;

Balance of discretionary and formulaic funding;

Capped incentive plans;

Clawback provisions; and

Consistent executive stock ownership.
Other Compensation-Related Policies
We have an Insider Trading Policy that sets forth terms, conditions, timing, limitations, and prohibitions with respect to trading in the Company’s securities. The Insider Trading Policy also generally prohibits executive officers, among others, from hedging, including engaging in publicly-traded options, puts, calls, or other derivative instruments relating to the Company’s securities, or selling the Company’s securities “short.” The Insider Trading Policy also requires that such persons obtain pre-approval from the Company’s General Counsel for all pledges, and the deposit in margin accounts, of the Company’s securities. The Insider Trading Policy is discussed further under “Insider Trading Policy; Anti-Hedging Policy” above.
We have adopted a Clawback Policy in accordance with SEC rules and NYSE listing standards that requires covered executives to reimburse the Company, or forfeit, any excess incentive compensation received by them during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any such financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. The Clawback Policy is discussed further under “Clawback Policy” above.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed this Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management and, based on such review and discussion, recommended that it be included in this Proxy Statement.

Amounts reflect rounding up to full shares upon conversion of approved dollar-denominated awards. The amounts presented in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the Named Executive Officers. Rather, the amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PSUs granted to the Named Executive Officers in each year reported, in each case computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of any estimated forfeitures. A discussion of the assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts is included in Note 10, “Share-Based Compensation” in our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Amounts consist of cash bonuses approved by the Compensation Committee with respect to all Named Executive Officers for the respective year. Bonuses were accrued as of December 31 of each respective year and paid before March 15 of the following year.
(3)
Represents the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of the Named Executive Officer’s accumulated benefit under the Pension Plan over the prior fiscal year. For further information regarding the Pension Plan, see Note 9, “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” For 2024, the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits decreased by $12,109 for Mr. Glover, and as amount is negative it is reported as zero in the table.
(4)
The amount presented includes contributions by TPL to the account of the Named Executive Officer under the Company’s defined contribution retirement plan.
(5)
The aggregate value of the perquisites and other personal benefits, if any, received by the Named Executive Officers for all years presented have not been reflected in the table because the amount was below the SEC’s $10,000 threshold for disclosure, except for Mr. Glover, whose perquisites consisted of $14,400 in automobile allowance for each of 2025, 2024, and 2023.
(6)
Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs granted to the Named Executive Officer in February 2025. The reported grant date fair value of PSUs granted to the Named Executive Officers is based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. The maximum grant date fair value of stock awards granted to Mr. Glover, Mr. Steddum and Mr. Dobbs, assuming achievement of the highest level of performance conditions for the PSUs is $6,019,891, $2,945,635, and $1,688,235, respectively.

Pay Ratio Disclosure
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our median employee and the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer during 2025, Mr. Glover. For purposes of calculating the 2025 ratio of the total annual compensation of the median employee to the total annual compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, we identified and calculated the elements of the median employee’s compensation using the same methodology reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” above. We used December 31, 2025, as the measurement date for identifying the median employee. Base salary amounts were annualized for any employee who had less than a full year of service during 2025. Total compensation for Mr. Glover, the Chief Executive Officer, was determined to be $7,072,516 and was approximately 34 times the median annual compensation of all of our employees, excluding the Chief Executive Officer, of $210,079. For purposes of this calculation, the Company had 113 employees, excluding the Chief Executive Officer.
Employment Agreements
Mr. Glover
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Glover, its President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Glover Agreement”). The Glover Agreement became effective as of October 13, 2023, and replaced and superseded the Company’s prior employment agreement with Mr. Glover that became effective on January 1, 2022.
The term of the Glover Agreement ends on December 31, 2026, with automatic one (1) year extensions unless notice not to renew is given at least 120 days prior to the relevant end date.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Under the Glover Agreement, Mr. Glover receives a base salary of $850,000 per annum, subject to annual review, and is eligible for an annual cash bonus (“Bonus”) with a target value of at least 100% of such base salary for achievement of specified performance targets. Mr. Glover is also eligible to receive annual long-term incentive awards (“LTI Awards”) under the 2021 Plan as determined by the Board or Compensation Committee, the target amount of which, when added to Mr. Glover’s target Bonus for the year, will be at least 300% of his base salary for the relevant year.
The Glover Agreement provides for payment of severance benefits if Mr. Glover’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Glover for good reason, provided that Mr. Glover executes a general waiver and release of claims and complies with the restrictive covenants described below. The severance benefits include (i) accrued but unpaid Bonuses, (ii) LTI Award benefits to the extent provided for pursuant to the underlying award and plan documents, (iii) a pro rata Bonus for the year of termination, (iv) monthly payments for up to 18 months of COBRA premiums for continued group health, dental and vision coverage for Mr. Glover and his dependents, and (v) an amount equal to two times the greater of (A) the average of his base salary and Bonus for the preceding three years, or (B) his base salary and target Bonus for the year of termination. If Mr. Glover’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Glover for good reason within 24 months following a change in control of the Company as defined in the Glover Agreement, then, in lieu of the amount specified in clause (v), Mr. Glover will be entitled to an amount (“Glover CIC Severance Amount”) equal to 2.99 times the greater of (a) the average of his base salary and Bonus for the three years preceding the year in which the change in control occurs, and (b) his base salary and target Bonus for the year in which the change in control occurs. In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Glover will be entitled to (x) a payment equal to the value of his restrictive covenants, which payment shall offset an equal amount of the Glover CIC Severance Amount; (y) 12 months of outplacement services paid for by the Company (not to exceed $30,000); and (z) 12 months of financial planning services paid for by the Company (not to exceed $30,000). If Mr. Glover’s employment terminates due to death or disability, he or his estate will be entitled to the benefits described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Mr. Glover will also be entitled to payment of accrued but unpaid salary, accrued but unused vacation, unsubsidized COBRA benefits, and unreimbursed business expenses, following termination of employment for any reason.
The Glover Agreement provides that Mr. Glover is entitled to participate in all benefit plans provided to the Company’s executives of like status from time to time in accordance with the applicable plan, policy or practices of the Company. It also provides for four weeks of annual paid vacation, reimbursement of business expenses, and indemnification rights.
The Glover Agreement contains restrictive covenants prohibiting Mr. Glover from disclosing the Company’s confidential information at any time, from competing with the Company in specified counties where the Company does business during his employment, subject to certain exceptions, and for one year thereafter (or six months thereafter if he terminates his employment voluntarily without good reason), and from soliciting the Company’s clients, suppliers and business partners during his employment and for one year thereafter.
Mr. Steddum
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Steddum, its Chief Financial Officer (the “Steddum Agreement”). The Steddum Agreement was effective as of October 13, 2023, and replaced and superseded the Company’s prior employment agreement with Mr. Steddum that became effective on January 1, 2022.
The term of the Steddum Agreement ends on December 31, 2026, with automatic one (1) year extensions unless notice not to renew is given at least 120 days prior to the relevant end date.
Under the Steddum Agreement, Mr. Steddum is entitled to receive a base salary of $500,000 per annum, subject to annual review, and is eligible for an annual cash Bonus with a target value of at least 90% of such base salary for achievement of specified performance targets. Mr. Steddum is also eligible to receive annual LTI Awards as determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, the target amount of which, when added to Mr. Steddum’s target Bonus for the year, will be at least 225% of his base salary for the relevant year.
The Steddum Agreement provides for payment of severance benefits if Mr. Steddum’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Steddum for good reason, provided that Mr. Steddum executes a general waiver and release of claims and complies with the restrictive covenants described below. The severance benefits include (i) accrued but unpaid Bonuses, (ii) LTI Award benefits to the extent provided for pursuant to the underlying award and plan documents, (iii) a pro rata Bonus for the year of termination, (iv) monthly payments for up to 18 months of COBRA premiums for continued group health, dental and vision coverage for Mr. Steddum and his dependents, and (v) an amount equal to two times the greater of (A) the average of his base salary and Bonus for the preceding three years, or (B) his base salary and target Bonus for the year of termination.

defined in the Steddum Agreement, then, in lieu of the amount specified in clause (v) of the preceding sentence, Mr. Steddum will be entitled to an amount (“Steddum CIC Severance Amount”) equal to 2.99 times the greater of (a) the average of his base salary and Bonus for the three years preceding the year in which the change in control occurs, and (b) his base salary and target Bonus for the year in which the change in control occurs. In addition, Mr. Steddum will be entitled to (x) a payment equal to the value of his restrictive covenants, which payment shall offset an equal amount of the Steddum CIC Severance Amount; (y) 12 months of outplacement services paid for by the Company (not to exceed $30,000); and (z) 12 months of financial planning services paid for by the Company (not to exceed $30,000). If Mr. Steddum’s employment terminates due to death or disability, he or his estate will be entitled to the benefits described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Mr. Steddum will also be entitled to payment of accrued but unpaid salary, accrued but unused vacation, unsubsidized COBRA benefits, and unreimbursed business expenses, following termination of employment for any reason.
The Steddum Agreement provides that Mr. Steddum is entitled to participate in all benefit plans provided to the Company’s executives of like status from time to time in accordance with the applicable plan, policy or practices of the Company. It also provides for four weeks of annual paid vacation, reimbursement of business expenses, and indemnification rights.
The Steddum Agreement contains restrictive covenants prohibiting Mr. Steddum from disclosing the Company’s confidential information at any time, from competing with the Company in specified counties where the Company does business during his employment, subject to certain exceptions, and for one year thereafter (or six months thereafter if he terminates his employment voluntarily without good reason), and from soliciting the Company’s clients, suppliers and business partners during his employment and for one year thereafter.
Mr. Dobbs
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Dobbs, its Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel (the “Dobbs Agreement”). The Dobbs Agreement became effective as of October 13, 2023, and replaced and superseded the Company’s prior employment agreement with Mr. Dobbs that became effective on January 1, 2022.
The term of the Dobbs Agreement ends on December 31, 2026, with automatic one (1) year extensions unless notice not to renew is given at least 120 days prior to the relevant end date.
Under the Dobbs Agreement, Mr. Dobbs is entitled to receive a base salary of $420,000 per annum, subject to annual review, and is eligible for an annual cash Bonus with a target value of at least 75% of such base salary for achievement of specified performance targets. Mr. Dobbs is also eligible to receive annual LTI Awards as determined by the Board or Compensation Committee, the target amount of which, when added to Mr. Dobbs’s target Bonus for the year, will be at least 175% of his base salary for the relevant year.
The Dobbs Agreement provides for payment of severance benefits if Mr. Dobbs’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Dobbs for good reason, provided that Mr. Dobbs executes a general waiver and release of claims and complies with the restrictive covenants described below. The severance benefits include (i) accrued but unpaid Bonuses, (ii) LTI Award benefits to the extent provided for pursuant to the underlying award and plan documents, (iii) a pro rata Bonus for the year of termination, (iv) monthly payments for up to 18 months of COBRA premiums for continued group health, dental and vision coverage for Mr. Dobbs and his dependents, and (v) an amount equal to two times the greater of (A) the average of his base salary and Bonus for the preceding three years, or (B) his base salary and target Bonus for the year of termination. If Mr. Dobbs’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Dobbs for good reason within 24 months following a change in control of the Company as defined in the Dobbs Agreement, then, in lieu of the amount specified in clause (v), Mr. Dobbs will be entitled to an amount (“Dobbs CIC Severance Amount”) equal to 2.99 times the greater of (a) the average of his base salary and Bonus for the three years preceding the year in which the change in control occurs, and (b) his base salary and target Bonus for the year in which the change in control occurs. In addition, Mr. Dobbs will be entitled to (x) a payment equal to the value of his restrictive covenants, which payment shall offset an equal amount of the Dobbs CIC Severance Amount; (y) 12 months of outplacement services paid for by the Company (not to exceed $30,000); and (z) 12 months of financial planning services paid for by the Company (not to exceed $30,000). If Mr. Dobbs’s employment terminates due to death or disability, he or his estate will be entitled to the benefits described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.
Mr. Dobbs will also be entitled to payment of accrued but unpaid salary, accrued but unused vacation, unsubsidized COBRA benefits, and unreimbursed business expenses, following termination of employment for any reason.
The Dobbs Agreement provides that Mr. Dobbs is entitled to participate in all benefit plans provided to the Company’s executives of like status from time to time in accordance with the applicable plan, policy or practices of the Company. It also provides for four weeks of annual paid vacation, reimbursement of business expenses, and indemnification rights.

The Dobbs Agreement contains restrictive covenants prohibiting Mr. Dobbs from disclosing the Company’s confidential information at any time, from competing with the Company in specified counties where the Company does business during his employment, subject to certain exceptions, and for one year thereafter (or six months thereafter if he terminates his employment voluntarily without good reason), and from soliciting the Company’s clients, suppliers and business partners during his employment and for one year thereafter.
The Glover Agreement, the Steddum Agreement and the Dobbs Agreement each provide that we will either (i) reduce the amount of severance benefits otherwise payable to the executive officer under the applicable agreement so that such severance benefits will not be subject to excise tax for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code or (ii) pay the full amount of severance benefits payable to the executive officer under the applicable employment agreement (but with no tax “gross-up”), whichever produces the better after-tax result for the executive officer.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
The table below presents the estimated value of payments and benefits that each Named Executive Officer would have been entitled to receive if the specified triggering event had occurred on December 31, 2025. Amounts presented for the vesting of equity awards are calculated based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2025, which was $287.22 per share.

(1)
The amount presented assumes that the Named Executive Officer did not have any accrued but unused vacation as of December 31, 2025.
(2)
Assumes that, in connection with the change in control, the Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the Named Executive Officer for good reason within a 24-month period following a change in control. The amount presented represents a severance payment equal to 2.99 times the three-year average of each Named Executive Officer’s base salary and annual bonus for 2023 through 2025.
(3)
The amount presented represents a severance payment equal to two times the three-year average of the Named Executive Officer’s base salary and annual bonus for 2023 through 2025.
(4)
Calculated based on the amount of bonus the Named Executive Officer would have been entitled to receive under the annual incentive plan based on the Company’s actual performance during the 2025 performance period, which is the same bonus amount actually paid to such Named Executive Officer for 2025 and reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
(5)
The amount presented represents the aggregate amount payable for continuation of health, dental and vision insurance benefits for 18 months following the date of termination of employment, per the terms of the Glover Agreement, the Steddum Agreement and the Dobbs Agreement, as applicable.

The applicable RSU award agreements provide that unvested RSUs will vest in full upon the Named Executive Officer’s death, disability, termination by the Company without cause (including following a change in control, assuming the award remains in effect) or termination by the Named Executive Officer for good reason (including following a change in control, assuming the award remains in effect). The applicable RSU award agreements also provide that, in the event of a change in control, any replacement award shall provide that if the Named Executive Officer is terminated by the Company without cause or for good reason, any unvested RSUs shall become immediately vested at the time of the termination. If no replacement award is granted in connection with a change in control and the Common Stock ceases to be publicly traded after the change in control, any unvested RSUs shall become immediately vested upon the change in control. The amounts presented include accrued but unpaid dividends on the RSUs.

The Pension Plan was a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan qualified under Section 401 of the Code in which our employees were eligible to participate. As described above, the Pension Plan was frozen on December 31, 2024, and terminated on December 31, 2025. In conjunction with freezing the Pension Plan, the Board approved a discretionary contribution to the Named Executive Officers’ 401(k) plan for 2025, as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, and to the 401(k) plan for all Company employees for 2025. This discretionary contribution was equal to 6% of total compensation for each eligible participant, subject to the Internal Revenue Service annual compensation limit of $350,000 for each eligible participant. The discretionary contribution for 2025 was made in the first quarter of 2026. For information concerning the valuation method and material assumptions used in quantifying the present value of the Named Executive Officers’ current accrued benefits, the freezing of the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2024, and the termination of the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2025, see Note 9, “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” in our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” As a result of the freezing of the Pension Plan and its subsequent termination, no future benefit accruals will be made.
As of December 31, 2025, the annual accrued normal retirement benefits were estimated to be $55,980 for Mr. Glover, $22,425 for Mr. Steddum, and $14,700 for Mr. Dobbs.

Includes unvested RSUs and PSUs (based on target units). The amount reported in “Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights” does not take into account RSUs and PSUs because they have no exercise price.
2021 Plan
We maintain the 2021 Plan, pursuant to which we may grant to any employee of the Company, an affiliate or a subsidiary nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The 2021 Plan was approved by our Board on August 11, 2021, and by our stockholders on December 29, 2021, and amended on October 31, 2023, and will expire on December 29, 2031. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 675,000 shares, which may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares (if any), treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.
Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, a severance plan sponsored by the Company, or in an applicable employment agreement, or otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, upon a change in control (as defined in the 2021 Plan) the following shall occur:

For awards other than performance awards, a replacement award (that is, an award with a value and terms that are at least as favorable as the outstanding award that is being replaced by the replacement award) may be issued;

For awards other than performance awards, if a replacement award is not issued and the Company’s Common Stock ceases to be publicly traded after the change in control, such awards shall be immediately vested and exercisable upon such change in control;

For unearned performance awards, the award shall be (i) earned on a pro-rata basis at the higher of actual or target performance and (ii) measured as of the end of the calendar quarter before the change in control date or, if the award is stock-price based, as of the effective date of the change in control;

For earned but unvested performance awards, the earned award shall be immediately vested and payable as of the change in control; and

For awards other than performance awards, if the Company’s Common Stock continues to be publicly traded after change in control, such awards shall continue under their applicable terms, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of awards other than performance awards, the Compensation Committee may cancel such awards, and the award holders shall receive shares or cash equal to the difference between the amount stockholders receive for their shares and the purchase price per share, if any, under the award. Except as may be provided in an employment or severance compensation agreement between the Company and the participant, if, in connection

with a change in control, a participant’s payment of any awards will cause the participant to be liable for federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments,” then either (i) all payments otherwise due or (ii) the reduced payment amount to avoid an excess parachute payment, whichever will provide the participant with the greater after-tax economic benefit taking into account any applicable excise tax, shall be paid to the participant. In no event will any participant be entitled to receive any kind of gross-up payment or reimbursement for any excise taxes payable in connection with change in control payments.
2021 Non-Employee Director Stock and Deferred Compensation Plan
We maintain the Texas Pacific Land Corporation 2021 Non-Employee Director and Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2021 Director Plan”), pursuant to which we may grant shares of Common Stock to each of our non-employee directors and our non-employee directors may defer some or all of their directors’ cash fees and stock compensation. The 2021 Director Plan was approved by our Board on August 11, 2021 and by our stockholders on December 29, 2021, and amended on October 31, 2023, and will expire on December 29, 2031. The 2021 Director Plan provides for annual grants of shares of Common Stock to each of our non-employee directors. Shares granted are fully vested upon date of grant unless the Compensation Committee or Board determines otherwise.
The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2021 Director Plan is 90,000 shares, and the aggregate fair market value of shares that may be issued to a non-employee director in a calendar year is limited to $500,000. Shares granted under the 2021 Director Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares (if any), treasury shares, or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.
Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards in Relation to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
We do not currently grant stock options or option-like equity awards to employees or directors; therefore, we do not currently have a formal practice or policy with respect to the grant of stock options or option-like awards. During 2025, we did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information to affect the value of other types of equity compensation awards granted to any service provider.
Pay Versus Performance Disclosure
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between (i) “compensation actually paid” ​(“CAP”) to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and to our non-PEO Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) and (ii) certain financial performance of the Company. The data included in the CAP columns does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid to our executive officers during the applicable fiscal year and it is reported solely pursuant to SEC rules. The CAP amount also does not represent amounts that have actually been earned or realized, including with respect to PSUs and RSUs. Performance conditions for certain of these equity awards have not yet been satisfied. To this end, information in the following table may not reflect whether compensation actually realized is aligned with performance. The Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is required to include in the Pay versus Performance table the “most important” financial performance measure (as determined by the Company) used to link compensation actually paid to our executive officers to company performance for the most recently completed fiscal year. The Company determined that Adjusted EBITDA, which is a metric included in our incentive program, meets this requirement and, therefore, we have included this performance measure in the Pay versus Performance table. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, employee share-based compensation, severance costs and conversion costs related to our corporation reorganization. Strong share price performance in 2024 and 2022 has increased the value of previously granted awards in the CAP calculation compared to their initial grant — date fair value as measured in the Summary Compensation Table.
Description of the Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid to our Named Executive Officers and Company Performance

From time to time, the Board constitutes ad hoc committees and determines whether any, and if so, how much, compensation is paid for such service. Any such payments made to directors during the year ended December 31, 2025, are reflected in the “Fees Earned or Paid in Cash” column of the table above.

Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value of non-employee director equity compensation, computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. A discussion of the assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts is included in Note 10, “Share-Based Compensation” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” For purposes of non-employee director equity compensation, we did not issue any fractional shares and, as a result, the aggregate grant date fair value of each director’s award is slightly more than $145,000. As of December 31, 2025, none of the non-employee directors had outstanding equity awards.

Mr. Oliver’s term expired at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders held on November 6, 2025, and he did not stand for re-election.

Mr. Stahl passed away on April 7, 2026. Mr. Doyle was appointed to the Board on May 5, 2026.
On an annual basis, all non-employee directors receive a base retainer of $250,000, of which $105,000 is paid in cash and $145,000 is paid in shares of Common Stock unless otherwise determined by the Company. Such shares immediately vest on the date of grant. Directors serving in multiple leadership roles receive incremental compensation for each role, including that committee chairs receive both the committee service fee and the specified amount for chairing such committee. Directors are not expected to receive additional compensation for attending regularly scheduled Board or committee meetings. For directors appointed or elected after January 1 of a given year, the compensation paid to the non-employee directors will be prorated based on the number of days of service.
Following a review of market information on the Company’s reference group provided by Meridian, on November 6, 2025, the Board approved increases for non-employee director compensation, beginning with the 2026 fiscal year. Totals for 2025 and 2026 are as follows:

The 2025 grant was made on January 1, 2025, and the 2026 grant was made on January 5, 2026. The shares of Common Stock immediately vested on the date of each grant.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Company believes that it is in the best interests of our stockholders for our directors to maintain a significant ownership position in TPL to create substantial alignment with our stockholders. Therefore, we have established stock ownership guidelines applicable to our non-employee directors. The ownership guidelines require each of our non-employee directors to acquire within five (5) years, and hold, shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value of at least five (5) times the base cash retainer. Shares counting towards the guidelines include TPL shares held outright and unvested time-based restricted shares. However, non-employee directors are permitted to sell shares of Common Stock to facilitate tax obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted shares. If a non-employee director falls below the applicable multiple due solely to a decline in the value of shares of Common Stock, such non-employee director will not be required to acquire additional shares to meet the applicable multiple.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s accounting and financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC.
In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management and the Company, including receiving the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered public accounting firm as required by the applicable standards of the PCAOB.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

APPENDIX A
NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In addition to amounts presented in accordance with GAAP, we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measurements. These measurements are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the measurements presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with the requirements of the SEC, our non-GAAP measurements are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. For all non-GAAP measurements, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP measurements.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement of earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. The purpose of presenting EBITDA is to highlight earnings without finance, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and its use is limited to specialized analysis.
The purpose of presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to highlight earnings without non-cash activity such as share-based compensation and other non-recurring or unusual items, if applicable. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a metric used by the Compensation Committee to evaluate our performance in determining the short-term and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers on an annual basis. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus employee share-based compensation less pension curtailment and settlement gain. The pension curtailment and settlement gain are related to a buyout by a third party of defined benefit obligations under our pension plan and the subsequent freezing of our pension plan, both of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024. We have excluded the pension curtailment and settlement gain from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as such gain is a non-recurring item and is not related to our core business.
The purpose of presenting free cash flow is to provide investors a metric to measure the funds available for investing in future acquisitions and returning capital to our stockholders through dividends and share repurchases after current income tax expense and purchases of fixed assets. Additionally, free cash flow is a metric used by the Compensation Committee to evaluate our performance in determining the short-term and long-term incentive compensation of our executive officers. To calculate free cashflow, net income is adjusted by adding back income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization and employee share-based compensation, less the cash outflows of current income tax expenses, purchases of fixed assets and pension curtailment and settlement gain.
We have presented EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow because we believe that these metrics are useful supplements to net income in analyzing our operating performance, ability to fund future acquisitions, ability to return capital to our stockholders and explaining how our Named Executive Officers are compensated. Our definitions of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow may differ from computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Redomestication from Delaware into Texas
WHEREAS, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (the “Corporation”) determined that the Corporation should consider redomesticating the Corporation from the State of Delaware into the State of Texas;
WHEREAS, at a meeting held on August 3, 2026, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) discussed with all members of the Board the potential redomestication of the Corporation by the conversion of the Corporation from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the Corporation when organized under such laws, the “Delaware Corporation”) to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Texas (the Corporation when organized under such laws, the “Texas Corporation”) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 266 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and Section 10.102 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (such conversion, the “Redomestication”);
WHEREAS, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviewed (a) the Certificate of Formation of the Texas Corporation, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Texas Charter”), and the Bylaws of the Texas Corporation, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Texas Bylaws” and, together with the Texas Charter, the “Texas Governing Documents”), and (b) the proposed Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C;
WHEREAS, the Plan of Conversion provides, among other things, that on completion of the Redomestication, and without any further action on the part of any person: (a) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Delaware Corporation shall be automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Texas Corporation, and (b) the Corporation’s existing Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Delaware Charter”), and the Corporation’s existing Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”), will be replaced with the Texas Charter and the Texas Bylaws, respectively;
WHEREAS, after investigating and considering the benefits and detriments of the Redomestication, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee unanimously adopted resolutions determining that the Redomestication is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders, recommending for approval by the Board the Redomestication, recommending that the Board submit the Redomestication for approval and adoption by the stockholders of the Corporation at the Corporation’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and further recommending to the Board that (a) the Board and management take all necessary and appropriate steps to implement the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s determination consistent with legal obligations, and (b) the Board recommend that stockholders vote “FOR” the Redomestication based on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s determination that the Redomestication is in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders; and
WHEREAS, following the presentation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation to the full Board by the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has reviewed and considered the findings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation of the Redomestication, the Plan of Conversion, the Texas Governing Documents, and a comparison to the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws, and has determined that approving and effecting the Redomestication and approving and adopting the Plan of Conversion and the Texas Governing Documents are in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders.

federal court does not have jurisdiction, a Texas state district court in Dallas County, Texas) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim for or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or shareholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s shareholders, including a claim alleging the aiding and abetting of such a breach of fiduciary duty, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the TBOC or this Certificate of Formation or the Bylaws or as to which the TBOC confers jurisdiction on the Business Court, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Certificate of Formation or the Bylaws, (v) any action asserting a claim related to or involving the Corporation that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, (vi) any action asserting an “internal entity claim” as that term is defined in Section 2.115 of the TBOC, or (vii) any other action within the jurisdiction of the Business Court, including any claims within the supplemental jurisdiction of the Business Court. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of, and have consented to, the provisions of this Section 11.1, and shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally agreed that the Business Court shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of the foregoing disputes to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this Section 11.1 is filed in a court other than the Business Court (or, if the Business Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, or if the federal court does not have jurisdiction, a Texas state district court in Dallas County, Texas) (a “Foreign Action”) by or in the name of any shareholder, such shareholder shall be deemed to have notice of, and have consented to, (x) the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Business Court (or, if the Business Court determines that it lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, or if the federal court does not have jurisdiction, a Texas state district court in Dallas County, Texas) in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Section 11.1 and (y) having service of process made upon such shareholder in any such action by service upon such shareholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such shareholder.

(C) Within ten (10) Business Days (as defined below) after the Secretary receives a request to fix a Requested Record Date in proper form that is otherwise in compliance with this Section 2.2, the Board shall adopt a resolution fixing a Requested Record Date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to request that the Secretary call a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Requested Record Date is adopted by the Board. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, no Requested Record Date shall be fixed if the Board determines that the request or requests to call a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting that would otherwise be submitted following such Requested Record Date could not comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.2 or applicable law.

To be timely for purposes of this Section 2.2(D), a shareholder’s request to call a special meeting must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following the Requested Record Date. To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.2, a shareholder request to call a special meeting shall include the signature(s) and the date of each signature by the shareholder(s) holding the Requisite Percentage submitting such request and set forth (1) if such shareholder is a shareholder of record, the name and address of such shareholder as they appear in the Corporation’s books and, if such shareholder is not a shareholder of record, the name and address of such shareholder, (2) a brief description of the Proposed Business, (3) the reasons for conducting the Proposed Business at the special meeting, (4) unless such shareholder is a Solicited Shareholder (as defined below), as to each item of Proposed Business, each Calling Person (as defined below) and each Shareholder Associated Person (as defined in Section 2.9(C)(2) of these Bylaws but substituting “Calling Person” in all places in such definition where reference is made to the shareholder providing notice), the information required to be set forth in a notice under Section 2.9 of these Bylaws as if the Proposed Business were to be considered at an annual meeting of shareholders, except that for purposes of this Section 2.2(D), the term “Calling Person” shall be substituted for the references to, and requirements of, the shareholder providing notice, and (5) an acknowledgment by each shareholder, on whose behalf a Special Meeting Request is being made (or their respective duly authorized agents), that any reduction in the number of shares owned by such persons as of the date of delivery of the Special Meeting Request and through the meeting date below the Requisite Percentage shall constitute a revocation of the Special Meeting Request, and a commitment to promptly notify the Corporation of any such decrease. For purposes hereof, a “Calling Person” means the shareholder of record submitting the request to call a special meeting; “Solicited Shareholder” means any shareholder that has provided a request to call a special meeting in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by way of a definitive consent solicitation statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Exchange Act; and “Special Meeting Request” refers to a request to call a special meeting that was delivered to the Secretary by the shareholder(s) holding the Requisite Percentage and is timely, in proper form, and otherwise fully complies with the requirements of this Section 2.2.

identical or substantially similar item (a “Similar Item”) was presented at any meeting of shareholders held not more than ninety (90) days prior to receipt by the Secretary of the Special Meeting Request (and, for purposes of this clause (5), the election of directors shall be deemed a Similar Item with respect to all items of Proposed Business involving the election or removal of directors), (6) the Board has called or calls for an annual or special meeting of shareholders to be held within ninety (90) days after the Secretary receives the Special Meeting Request and the Board determines that the business of such meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought before the annual or special meeting) a Similar Item, or (7) it otherwise does not comply with applicable law. Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.
(F) A shareholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting. If written revocation(s) of the Special Meeting Request have been delivered to the Secretary and the result is that (after giving effect to all revocations) the Special Meeting Requests represent shareholders holding less than the Requisite Percentage, from the date of such requests through the date of the meeting, then: (1) if the notice of meeting has not already been mailed to shareholders, the Secretary shall refrain from mailing the notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or (2) if the notice of meeting has already been mailed to shareholders, the Secretary shall revoke the notice of the meeting.
(G) Subject to Section 2.2(F) above, within ten (10) days following the date on which the Secretary has received Special Meeting Requests in accordance with this Section 2.2 from shareholders holding the Requisite Percentage, the Board shall fix the record date and meeting date, time and location for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting; provided, however, that the date of any such Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall not be more than ninety (90) days after the date on which valid Special Meeting Requests from shareholders holding the shares to be included in such Requisite Percentage are delivered to the Secretary (and are not revoked). Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Board may submit its own proposal(s) or nominee(s) for consideration at any Shareholder Requested Special Meeting. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, the record date for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 2.3 of these Bylaws, and the Board shall provide notice of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting in accordance with Section 2.6 of these Bylaws.
(H) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, the Secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting except in accordance with this Section 2.2. If the Board determines that any request to fix a Requested Record Date or Special Meeting Request was not properly made in accordance with this Section 2.2 or determines that the shareholders of record requesting that the Board fix such Requested Record Date or shareholders making the Special Meeting Request have not otherwise complied with this Section 2.2, then the Board shall not be required to fix such Requested Record Date, to fix a special meeting record date or to call or hold a special meeting. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.2, each Meeting Requesting Person and shareholder making a Special Meeting Request shall comply with all requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any request to fix a Requested Record Date or Special Meeting Request.
(I) Any written notice, supplement, update or other information required to be delivered by a shareholder to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be subject to the delivery requirements under Section 2.9(A)(6) of these Bylaws; provided, however, that no such notice, supplement, update or other information delivered by registered or certified mail shall be deemed delivered until such notice, supplement, update or other information is actually received at the Corporation’s principal executive offices.
(J) In determining whether Special Meeting Requests have met the requirements of this Section 2.2, multiple Special Meeting Requests will be considered together only if (1) each Special Meeting Request identifies the same or substantially the same purpose or purposes of the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting and the same or substantially the same items of business proposed to be brought before the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting, and (2) such Special Meeting Requests have been dated and delivered to the Secretary within sixty (60) days of the delivery to the Secretary of the earliest dated Special Meeting Request relating to such item(s) of business.
(K) In connection with a Shareholder Requested Special Meeting called in accordance with this Section 2.2, the shareholders of record who requested that the Board fix a Requested Record Date in accordance with Section 2.2(B) or the shareholders (except for any Solicited Shareholder) who delivered a Special Meeting Request to the Secretary in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall further update the information previously provided to the Corporation in connection with such request, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such request pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Such update shall (i) be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive

office of the Corporation not later than five (5) Business Days after the record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting (in the case of the update required to be made as of such record date) and not later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the date for the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting has been adjourned, rescheduled or postponed) (in the case of the update required to be made as of ten (10) Business Days prior to the Shareholder Requested Special Meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof), (ii) be made only to the extent that information has changed since such shareholders’ prior submission and (iii) clearly identify the information that has changed since such shareholders’ prior submission, it being understood that no such update may cure any deficiencies or inaccuracies with respect to any prior submission by any of such shareholders.
(L) If any information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.2 by any shareholder proposing business for consideration or individual(s) to nominate for election or reelection as director(s) at a special meeting is inaccurate in any material respect (as determined by the Board), such information shall be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with these Bylaws. Any such shareholder shall notify the Secretary of any inaccuracy or change in any such information within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change, and any such notification shall clearly identify the inaccuracy or change, it being understood that no such notification may cure any deficiencies or inaccuracies with respect to any prior submission by such shareholder. Upon written request of the Secretary or the Board, any such shareholder shall provide, within seven (7) Business Days after delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (A) written verification, reasonably satisfactory to the Board or any authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 and (B) a written update of any information (including written confirmation by such shareholder that such shareholder continues to intend to bring such nomination or other business before the meeting) submitted by the shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 as of an earlier date. If a shareholder fails to provide such written verification within such period, the information as to which written verification was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.2.   
SECTION 2.3    Record Date.   
(A) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the Close of Business (as defined below) on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the Close of Business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or earlier date as that fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
(B) In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, exchange or redemption of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the Close of Business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
(C) Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Formation or the TBOC, in order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to take action by consent in writing, pursuant to a resolution of and at the direction of the Board, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board.
SECTION 2.4    Shareholder List.    The officer who has charge of the stock ledger shall prepare, at least eleven (11) days before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders

(provided, however, if the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote is less than eleven (11) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the shareholders entitled to vote as of the eleventh (11th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock, and showing the address of each shareholder, the type of shares held by each shareholder, the number of shares held by each shareholder, and the number of votes that each shareholder is entitled to if the number of votes is different from the number of shares held. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date, (1) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (2) during ordinary business hours at the registered office or the principal executive office of the Corporation. If the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to shareholders. Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.4 shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation. The original share transfer records of the Corporation are prima facie evidence of the shareholders of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.
SECTION 2.5    Place of Meeting.   The Board may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting of the shareholders. If no designation is so made, the place of meeting shall be the principal executive offices of the Corporation. The Board, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the TBOC and any other applicable law for the participation by shareholders and proxyholders in a meeting of shareholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of shareholders will not be held at any place but will be held solely by means of remote communication. Shareholders and proxyholders complying with such guidelines and procedures and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be deemed present in person and entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication.
SECTION 2.6    Notice of Meeting.   
(A) Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, written notice, stating the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, shall be given, not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify (1) the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting), (2) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting, (3) the means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and (4) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice of a shareholder meeting regarding a “fundamental business transaction” ​(as defined in the TBOC) must (a) be given to each shareholder of the Corporation not later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the meeting, regardless of whether the shareholder is entitled to vote on the matter, and (b) state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider a fundamental business transaction. No business other than that specified in the notice thereof shall be transacted at any special meeting. If the shareholder list referred to in Section 2.4 of these Bylaws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the shareholder list can be accessed. If the meeting of shareholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the notice of meeting must provide the information required to access such shareholder list during the meeting.
(B) Any notice to shareholders given by the Corporation under the TBOC, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws may be given in writing directed to the shareholder’s mailing address (or, upon consent of the shareholder that has not been revoked, by electronic transmission directed to the shareholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation. A notice to a shareholder shall be deemed given as follows: (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such shareholder’s address, (3) upon consent of the shareholder that has not been revoked, if given by electronic mail, when directed to such shareholder’s electronic mail address unless such notice is prohibited by the TBOC, and (4) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (a) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice, (b) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the shareholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice and (c) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the shareholder. A shareholder may revoke such shareholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic transmission by giving written notice or electronic transmission of such revocation to the Corporation. A notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (A) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two

consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (B) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. “Electronic mail” means an electronic transmission directed to a unique electronic mail address (which electronic mail shall be deemed to include any files attached thereto and any information hyperlinked to a website if such electronic mail includes the contact information of an officer or agent of the Corporation who is available to assist with accessing such files and information). “Electronic mail address” means a destination, commonly expressed as a string of characters, consisting of a unique user name or mailbox (commonly referred to as the “local part” of the address) and a reference to an internet domain (commonly referred to as the “domain part” of the address), whether or not displayed, to which electronic mail can be sent or delivered.
SECTION 2.7    Quorum and Adjournment of Meetings.   
(A) Except as otherwise required by the TBOC, by the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders, except that, when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. The chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time for any reason, whether or not there is such a quorum. The shareholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
(B) Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, may be adjourned or recessed from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, if any, by holders of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, present by means of remote communication or represented by proxy, though less than a quorum, or by the chair of such meeting, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned or recessed meeting (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication) if the date, time and place, if any, thereof and means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person or represented by proxy and vote at such adjourned or recessed meeting, are (a) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment or recess is taken, (b) displayed during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable shareholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (c) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with these Bylaws; provided, however, that, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If, after the adjournment, a new record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each shareholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
SECTION 2.8    Proxies.    At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing (or in such other manner prescribed by the TBOC) by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 2.8 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and the TBOC makes it irrevocable. A shareholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders may use any proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for exclusive use of the Board.

In the event that any shareholder withdraws from a Nominating Group at any time prior to the annual meeting of shareholders, the Nominating Group shall only be deemed to Own the shares held by the remaining members of that Nominating Group. No shareholder shall be permitted to be in more than one Nominating Group.
(E) Timely Nomination Notice.    To be timely, a Nomination Notice must be delivered to or mailed to the Secretary of the Corporation and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the Close of Business on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day before the date of the one (1)-year anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting and not later than the Close of Business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day before the date of such anniversary, except where information or documents are required to be provided after the date the Nomination Notice is first submitted, as set forth in this Section 2.10; provided, however, that, subject to the following sentence, in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting is scheduled for a date that is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, to be timely, the Nomination Notice must be received not earlier than the Close of Business on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day before such annual meeting and not later than the Close of Business on the later of the one hundred twentieth (120th) day before such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.

(B) The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, pay the reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending or otherwise participating in or appearing at any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (including in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Section 7.10); provided, however, that, to the extent required by the TBOC, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of (1) a written affirmation by the Covered Person of the Covered Person’s good faith belief that the Covered Person has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the TBOC and (2) a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Covered Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial determination from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter, a “final adjudication”) or otherwise in accordance with the TBOC that such Covered Person has not met the standard necessary for indemnification under the TBOC or that indemnification is prohibited by the TBOC.
(C) To the extent that a current or former director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter thereof, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith, as required by Section 8.051 of the TBOC.
(D) The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in such Covered Person’s

official capacity, to be in the Corporation’s best interests and, in any other case, not opposed to the Corporation’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(E) The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred upon any current or former director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor under this Section 7.10 (whether by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or a predecessor, or, while serving as a director, trustee or officer of the Corporation or a predecessor, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a predecessor as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a trust, partnership, joint venture, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan) shall be a contract right, which shall vest when such person becomes a director, trustee or officer of the Corporation and such rights shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.10, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Covered Person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
(F) If a claim for indemnification under this Section 7.10 (following the final adjudication of such proceeding) is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after the Corporation has received a written claim therefor by the Covered Person, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Section 7.10 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after the Corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, or a claim brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In any such action, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. In any suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by a Covered Person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses), it shall be a defense that, and the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Covered Person has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the TBOC. With respect to any suit brought by a Covered Person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or right to advancement of expenses hereunder or any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), neither (i) the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because the Covered Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the TBOC, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the Covered Person has not met such applicable standard of conduct set forth in the TBOC, shall create a presumption that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Covered Person, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification or an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 7.10 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
(G) The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 7.10 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Formation, these Bylaws, an agreement or vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
(H) This Section 7.10 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any current or former employee or agent of the Corporation, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 7.10 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Covered Persons under this Section 7.10.   
(I) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor or is or was

serving at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the TBOC, these Bylaws or otherwise.
(J) Any repeal, modification or amendment of this Section 7.10 by the Board or the shareholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this Section 7.10, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Covered Persons on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision. Any amendment, repeal, modification or adoption that would adversely affect such person’s rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder shall be ineffective as to such Covered Person, except with respect to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding that relates to or arises from (and only to the extent such proceeding relates to or arises from) any act or omission of such Covered Person occurring after the effective time of such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption.
(K) If any provision or provisions of this Section 7.10 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Section 7.10 (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Section 7.10 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 7.10 (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Section 7.10 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Corporation provide protection to the indemnitee to the fullest extent set forth in this Section 7.10.   
SECTION 7.11    Emergency Bylaws.   
(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, this Section 7.11 (the “Emergency Bylaws”) shall be operative in the event of any emergency as defined in Section 3.251(1) of the TBOC, which, in any such case, renders a significant number of the members of the Board who were serving on the Board pursuant to these Bylaws (excluding pursuant to this Section 7.11) immediately prior to the Emergency (the “Regular Directors”) incapacitated or inaccessible for an extended period of time and as a result of which a quorum of the Board or a standing committee thereof cannot be convened for action or otherwise constitutes an emergency period as defined in Section 3.251(3) of the TBOC (an “Emergency”). To the extent not inconsistent with these Emergency Bylaws, the regular bylaws of the Corporation (i.e., these Bylaws) and the Certificate of Formation shall remain in effect during an Emergency, and these Emergency Bylaws shall not be operative after the Emergency ends.
(B) During any Emergency, any director or officer of the Corporation may call a meeting of the Board or any standing committee thereof and notice of the place and time of such meeting of the Board or any standing committee thereof may be given only to such directors as may be feasible to reach at the time and by such means as may be feasible at the time. Such notice shall be given at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting, if feasible, and otherwise on any shorter time as the person giving notice may deem necessary. Such notice shall be similarly given, to the extent feasible, to the Designated Officers serving as directors pursuant to this Section 7.11. Neither the business to be transacted nor the purpose of any such meeting need be specified in the notice thereof. “Designated Officers” means officers of the Corporation who may become directors of the Corporation during an Emergency, which list has been approved by the Whole Board prior to the Emergency. If the Whole Board has not approved a list of Designated Officers prior to the Emergency, then the officers of the Corporation in attendance shall serve as directors for the meeting, without any additional quorum requirement, and will have full powers to act as directors of the Corporation for such meeting.
(C) At any meeting of the Board, or any standing committee thereof, called in accordance with this Section 7.11, the presence of three (3) directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board, and the presence of two (2) standing committee members shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of any standing committee. In the event that less than three (3) Regular Directors are able to attend such meeting of the Board, then the Regular Directors (or the single Regular Director) in attendance shall select additional directors to serve on the Board, in such number as is necessary to have three (3) directors at the meeting, from among the Designated Officers. In the event that no Regular Directors are able to attend such meeting of the Board, then no

more than three (3) Designated Officers in attendance shall serve as directors for such meeting and with full powers to act as directors of the Corporation. During the duration of the Emergency, (1) vacancies on the Board or any committee thereof may be filled by a majority vote of the directors in attendance at such meeting, and (2) the Board may appoint any individual as a director to replace a director who is incapacitated and to serve until the latter ceases to be incapacitated. Directors appointed to the Board pursuant to this Section 7.11(C) shall serve on the Board until the Emergency has ended. Directors taking any action at any such meeting shall have an obligation to inform, if feasible, all Regular Directors and Designated Officers who were not in attendance at such meeting of all actions so taken.
(D) No director, officer or employee acting in accordance with this Section 7.11 or otherwise pursuant to Section 3.2535 of the TBOC (or any successor section) shall be liable for any such actions if taken in good faith and based on the reasonable belief that the emergency action was in the Corporation’s best interest.
(E) The Board, either before or during any Emergency, may, effective in the Emergency, change the head office or designate several alternative head offices or regional offices, or authorize the officers so to do. Without limiting any powers or emergency actions that the Board may take during an Emergency, during an Emergency the Board may take any action that it determines to be practical and necessary to address the circumstances of the Emergency.
(F) The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall be subject to repeal or change by further action of the Board or by action of the shareholders, but no such repeal or change shall modify the provisions of Section 7.11(C) hereof with regard to action taken prior to the time of such repeal or change.
(G) Nothing contained in this Section 7.11 shall be deemed exclusive of any other provisions for emergency powers consistent with other sections of the TBOC that have been or may be adopted by corporations created under the TBOC.
SECTION 7.12    Severability.    To the extent any provision of these Bylaws would be, in the absence of this Section 7.12, invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such provision shall be severable from the other provisions of these Bylaws, and all provisions of these Bylaws shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by these Bylaws, including, to the maximum extent possible, the provision that would be otherwise invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS
SECTION 8.1    Amendments.    In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Texas, the Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of these Bylaws by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the Board. Shareholders shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law, the Certificate of Formation or these Bylaws, these Bylaws may be adopted, altered, amended or repealed by the shareholders of the Corporation only by the affirmative vote of holders of not less than a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. No Bylaws hereafter made or adopted, nor any repeal of or amendment thereto, shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that was valid at the time it was taken.
