## Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Permian Basin Royalty Trust (the "Trust") held a special meeting of its unit holders on December 16, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., Central Time, at the offices of Argent Trust Company (the "Trustee"), 4200 South Hulen Street, Suite 217, Fort Worth, Texas 76109 (the "Special Meeting"). The Special Meeting was called by the Trustee as required by Section 8.02 of the Trust Indenture at the request of SoftVest Advisors, LLC ("SoftVest Advisors") and other unit holders of the Trust collectively owning not less than 15% of the outstanding Trust units.

At the Special Meeting, unit holders of the Trust were asked to consider and vote upon (i) a non-binding proposal for SoftVest Advisors or another appropriate party to take appropriate actions as beneficiaries of the Trust to effect the judicial reformation or modification of the Trust Indenture, to allow for the approval of any amendment to the Trust Indenture by a simple majority of votes cast by unit holders at a special meeting at which a quorum is present (such proposal, the "Indenture Reformation Proposal"); and (ii) an adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit solicitation of additional proxies in favor of the Indenture Reformation Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal").

Of the 46,608,796 units outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date for the Special Meeting, 27,938,688 units were present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy. As such, a quorum was established at the Special Meeting.

The proposals voted on by the unit holders at the Special Meeting and the voting results are set forth below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. A non-binding proposal for SoftVest Advisors or another appropriate party to take appropriate actions as beneficiaries of the Trust to effect the judicial reformation or modification of the Trust Indenture, to allow for the approval of any amendment to the Trust Indenture by a simple majority of votes cast by unit holders at a special meeting at which a quorum is present received the following vote:
