Argent Trust Company declared a cash distribution of $0.013198 per unit payable on January 15, 2026.

The distribution does not include proceeds from the Waddell Ranch properties due to excess production costs exceeding gross proceeds in November.

Lower oil volumes and pricing at the Texas Royalty Properties led to a decrease in this month's distribution.
