Hugoton Royalty Trust (HGTXU), administered by Argent Trust Company, announced there will be no cash distribution to unitholders for May 2026 because all three net profits interests remain in excess cost positions. The Trust’s cash reserve was reduced by $8,000 to pay expenses, and the Trustee does not foresee any near-term distributions.
Accumulated excess costs on the Kansas, Oklahoma, and Wyoming conveyances have prevented any distributions since July 2023 and depleted the expense reserve. The Trust states these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, and that it may need drastic measures, including a potential sale of assets or termination of the Trust, which would require approval by at least 80% of outstanding units.
The Trust is not engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm due to cash constraints and has filed a Form 12b-25 indicating it cannot file its June 30, 2026 Form 10-Q. It notes that unitholders and potential investors may have limited or no information, and units were removed from the OTCQB on July 17, 2026 and now trade on the Expert Market on an unsolicited quotes-only basis. Significant excess cost balances remain on all three state conveyances, further limiting the prospect of future net profits.

Accumulated excess costs in Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming, together with lower oil and natural gas prices, development spending and $1,000,000 of prior advance distributions, have led to no distributions since July 2023 and raised substantial doubt about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustee has deferred its fee since April 2024 and is evaluating alternatives, including a possible asset sale or termination, each requiring approval of at least 80% of outstanding units and which may still leave nothing for unitholders.
Because cash constraints prevent engagement of a new auditor, the Trust filed Form 12b-25 and is not able to continue making SEC filings, audited financial statements or regular reporting, limiting information available to investors. The units were removed from the OTCQB on July 17, 2026 and now trade on the Expert Market on an unsolicited quotes only basis, and the Trust warns that unitholders could lose their entire investment.
