The board approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws to add a proxy access right and make conforming, clarifying and administrative changes. Under the new bylaws, a stockholder or a group of up to 20 stockholders that has continuously owned at least 3% of outstanding common stock for three consecutive years may nominate the greater of two or 25% of the board, provided nominees meet the bylaws' eligibility, procedural, content and notice requirements. Nomination notices generally must be delivered between the close of business on the 150th day and the 120th day before the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, with specified exceptions if meeting timing changes. The full bylaw text is filed as Exhibit 3.1.

Insights

TL;DR: Bylaw amendment introduces shareholder proxy access with specific ownership and timing requirements; likely governance-relevant but not an operational change.

The adoption of a proxy access provision formally permits eligible holders (>=3% ownership for three consecutive years, or a group up to 20 holders) to include director nominees in the company proxy, subject to the bylaws' procedural and eligibility conditions. This is a governance change that may influence board composition over time but does not alter operations or financials. The timing windows and group-size limits are explicit and will shape which shareholders can use the right.

TL;DR: Proxy access aligns TPL with common shareholder empowerment practices while setting a moderately stringent 3%/3-year threshold.

The bylaw grants a clear mechanism for shareholder-nominated director inclusion, allowing nomination of the greater of two or 25% of directors. The 3% ownership floor, three-year continuity requirement and cap of 20 stockholders in a nominating group are material structural limits that balance shareholder influence with board stability. Detailed notice windows (150/120-day framework and exception rules) create predictable timing for nominations. Full text is filed as Exhibit 3.1 for precise procedural language.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors of Texas Pacific Land Corporation (the “Company”) approved and adopted the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective upon approval, to implement a proxy access right, as well as to make certain conforming, clarifying, administrative and other non-substantive changes.

 

Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws, a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, who has continuously owned at least 3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock for at least three consecutive years, may nominate the greater of two or 25% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which the notice of proxy access nomination (the “Nomination Notice”) may be submitted, if the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the applicable eligibility, procedural, content and notice requirements set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws. Stockholders seeking to have one or more nominees included in the Company’s proxy statement must deliver the Nomination Notice required by the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day before the date of the one year anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting, and not later than the close of business on the 120th day before the date of such anniversary; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting is scheduled for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, to be timely, the Nomination Notice must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 150th day before such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day before such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company.
