San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (NYSE:SJT) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial ConditionItem 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October20, 2017, the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $3,390,361.80 or $0.072741 per unit, based principally upon estimated production during the month of August 2017, as further described below. The distribution is payable November14, 2017, to unit holders of record as of October31, 2017.
The sale of San Juan Basin assets, including the oil and gas interests from which the Trust’s royalty interest was carved (“Subject Interests”), from Burlington Resources Oil& Gas Company LP (“Burlington”) to Hilcorp San Juan L.P. (“Hilcorp”) closed on July31, 2017. Due to the transition from Burlington, Hilcorp informed the Trust that Hilcorp does not yet have all of the revenue and expense decks for August 2017 installed, and therefore does not have the appropriate detail to provide actual revenue and expense numbers for the October 2017 distribution. Therefore, Hilcorp estimated the October 2017 distribution based on prior months’ distribution detail (revenue and expenses) previously provided by Burlington and rounded to the nearest thousand.
The October 2017 declaration of cash distribution includes an additional $1.0 million in estimated revenue based on Hilcorp’s knowledge that production volumes increased during the month of August 2017.
In accordance with general instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information in this Form 8-K shall be deemed “furnished” and not “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of Section18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, subject to the liabilities of that section.
