Important Message to Unitholders
Dear Unitholder:
On August 30, 2017, Enduro Royalty Trust (NYSE: NDRO) (the “Trust”) will hold a Special Meeting of unitholders to consider proposals to approve the sale of certain oil and natural gas properties (the “Divestiture Properties”) that constitute a portion of the properties burdened by the Trust’s 80% net profits interest, the release of the net profits interest with respect to the Divestiture Properties, and related proposals to effect the sale transactions.
The following are the characteristics of the transactions and Divestiture Properties:
· The estimated special distribution to unitholders upon approval and consummation of the proposed transactions is anticipated to be $1.18 per unit. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Trust paid a total distribution of approximately $0.26 per unit.
· The Divestiture Properties accounted for approximately $0.003 of the $0.26 per unit distribution in 2016, which represented approximately 1% of the total distribution for the period.
· The sales volumes from the Divestiture Properties represented approximately 2% of the sales volume for 2016.
