ECA Marcellus Trust I announced a quarterly distribution of $0.020 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Trust's distribution is expected to be distributed on or before August 29, 2025, to holders of record as of August 25, 2025.

The Trustee has been gradually building a cash reserve since the first quarter of 2019 for future expenses or liabilities.

Royalty Interests

Trust formed to own royalty interests in natural gas properties in Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania.

  • Quarterly distributions expected to fluctuate based on proceeds received, natural gas prices, and administrative expenses.
  • Volatility in commodity prices may affect Trust's ability to pay distributions, especially with low natural gas prices.
  • Tax implications for non-U.S. persons holding Trust units under IRC Sections 1446 and 1441.

Investors should monitor natural gas prices and Trust's quarterly distributions for potential impact on returns. Understanding tax implications is crucial for non-U.S. unit holders.
