Rule 14a-8 regulatory

"pursuant to Rule 14a-8"

Rule 14a-8 is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulation that lets eligible shareholders put proposals on a public company’s proxy ballot for an annual meeting, provided they meet basic ownership and filing requirements. It matters to investors because it creates a formal way to raise governance or strategic issues and force a company-wide vote—like getting an item onto the agenda of a neighborhood association meeting once you’ve lived there long enough—so shareholders can push for change or influence management decisions.

proxy materials regulatory

"inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials"

Proxy materials are the packet of documents sent to shareholders that explain items to be voted on at a company meeting and include the actual ballot or instructions for casting a vote. Think of them as a voting packet that lays out who’s running the company, major proposals (like pay, mergers, or board changes), and arguments for and against each item. Investors care because those votes shape corporate direction, affect risk and future profits, and can influence share value.

supporting statement regulatory

"including any accompanying supporting statement"

bylaws regulatory

"in accordance with the Company’s bylaws"

Corporate bylaws are a company's internal rulebook that explains how the business is run day to day — who makes decisions, how directors and officers are chosen, how shareholder meetings are conducted, and procedures for changes or conflicts. For investors, bylaws matter because they shape governance and control, influence how quickly and easily leadership or strategy can change, and can protect or limit shareholder rights much like house rules affect how a household operates.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 25, 2026, Texas Pacific Land Corporation (the “Company”) entered into amendments to (i) the amended and restated employment agreement, dated October 13, 2023, by and between the Company and Tyler Glover, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) the amended and restated employment agreement, dated October 13, 2023, by and between the Company and Chris Steddum, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and (iii) the amended and restated employment agreement, dated October 13, 2023, by and between the Company and Micheal W. Dobbs, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel (such employment agreements collectively, the “Employment Agreements” and such amendments collectively, the “Amendments”). The Amendments extend the expiration date in the Employment Agreements from December 31, 2026 to December 31, 2029, with automatic one (1) year extensions unless notice not to renew is given by either party at least 120 days prior to the end of the then-current term. All of the other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreements remain in full force and effect.

Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.

As disclosed in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 25, 2026 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Company intends to hold its 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) on May 6, 2027. The intended date of the 2027 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, which is being held on November 5, 2026. The Company will publish additional details regarding the exact time, location and matters to be voted on at the 2027 Annual Meeting in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting.

In order for any stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2027 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (“Rule 14a-8”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company must receive proper notice at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on November 27, 2026, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials for the 2027 Annual Meeting. Any such stockholder proposal submitted, including any accompanying supporting statement, must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2027 Annual Meeting.

Since the 2027 Annual Meeting will be held on a date that is more than 30 days before the anniversary of the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, any director nomination or stockholder proposal submitted outside the process of Rule 14a-8 that a stockholder intends to bring forth at the 2027 Annual Meeting will be untimely unless it is received between January 6, 2027 and February 5, 2027, in accordance with the Company’s bylaws.
