HUGOTON ROYALTY TRUST 8K

Hugoton Royalty Trust reported no June cash distribution, severe liquidity issues raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, inability to timely file SEC reports due to cash constraints, and ongoing evaluation of drastic alternatives including possible termination or sale of its assets.

On June 18, 2026, Argent Trust Company, as trustee of Hugoton Royalty Trust, announced that there will be no June cash distribution for May 2026 due to excess cost positions on all three of the Trust’s net profits interest conveyances and that, given accumulated excess costs, lower commodity prices, prior advance distributions, and ongoing development and operating expenses, there is substantial doubt about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustee has curtailed expenses (including deferring its own fee), modestly increased the cash reserve by $4,000 from a refunded expense, and stated that any future net profits would first be used to replenish the cash reserve before resuming unitholder distributions, which are not expected in the near term. The Trustee has explored financing and potential sales of the Trust’s interests but has found such options unlikely in the near term and is continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives, including possible termination of the Trust or sale of its net profits interests, both of which would require approval by at least 80% of outstanding units and may not yield any distributable proceeds to unitholders. The Trust also disclosed that it filed a Form 12b-25 on May 15, 2026, indicating it could not file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 due to cash constraints preventing the engagement of a new independent auditor, and warned that its inability to continue SEC reporting may limit information available to investors, pressure the unit price, and could result in removal of the Trust’s units from the OTCQB, with a risk that unitholders could incur significant or total losses if the Trust cannot continue as a going concern.
