Specifically, the Trustee alleges that Blackbeard impermissibly calculated and deducted overhead costs, labor expenses, and saltwater disposal fees. The Trustee also claims Blackbeard failed to pay on all volumes of oil, gas, and other minerals produced by Blackbeard from the relevant lands and failed to provide annual reports required by the Conveyance. The claims relate to the April 2020 through December 2023 production months. A joint venture audit of the 2024 production months is underway, and the Trustee reserved the right in the petition to bring any additional claims revealed by such audit. Certain additional claims raised in the Trustee&#x2019;s original and first amended petitions have been resolved through the joint venture audit.</font></p><p style="margin-left:6.95pt;text-indent:36pt;font-size:10pt;margin-top:0;font-family:Times New Roman;margin-bottom:0;margin-right:0.09166666666666666in;text-align:justify;"><font style="color:#000000;white-space:pre-wrap;font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial;font-kerning:none;min-width:fit-content;">The trial date in the District Court of Tarrant County is scheduled for November 17, 2025, 8:30 a.m., Central Time.
