Recent Events Recent Events – We are continuing to closely monitor future OPEC actions and the ongoing global military conflicts which arose from 2022 through 2024, on all aspects of our business, including how these events may impact our future operations, financial results, liquidity, the employees of Dorchester Minerals Operating LP, and operators. The ongoing global military conflicts could continue into 2025 and could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including disruptions to the oil and gas industry, significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability and other material and adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions. We cannot predict the long-term impact of these events on our liquidity, financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to uncertainties including the duration and international impact of the ongoing global military conflicts. These situations remain fluid and unpredictable, and we are actively managing our response.
