Company Announcements

EAST SCHODACK, N.Y. , Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Trustees of North European Oil Royalty Trust (NYSE: NRT) announced today a distribution of $0.20 per unit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, as compared to $0.31 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.  This compares to a $0.26 for the third quarter of fiscal 2026.  The $0.20 distribution for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 is payable on November 30, 2026 to owners of record on November 17, 2026.

The Trust receives its royalties under the Mobil and OEG Royalty Agreements as detailed in the 2025 10-K on the Trust's website.  In accordance with the agreements, the Trust's monthly royalty payments are paid based on the amount of royalties payable to the Trust in the prior quarter. Additional details will be available in the Trust's 10-K filing at the Trust's website, shown below, or through the SEC's EDGAR website on or about January 15, 2027.

In accordance with the agreements between the Trust and the operating companies, the Trust's monthly scheduled royalty payments are paid based on the amount of royalties that were payable to the Trust in the prior calendar quarter. The shutdown of the de-sulfurization plant during the quarter for maintenance resulted in an overpayment of royalties during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. This overpayment has generated a negative carry-over, which will reduce the royalty income paid to the Trust in the first fiscal quarter of 2027. As a result, the cash distribution to unit owners for the Trust's first fiscal quarter of 2027 is expected to be decreased.

The cumulative 12-month distribution, which includes the November 2026 distribution and the three prior quarterly distributions, is $0.90 per unit. This 12-month cumulative distribution is 11.1%, or $0.09 per unit, higher than the prior 12-month distribution of $0.81 per unit. The Trust makes quarterly distributions to unit owners to the extent available during the months of February, May, August, and November.
