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


           Year.

On April 4, 2023, upon request of Simmons Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee") of Hugoton Royalty Trust (the "Trust") and a unitholder of the Trust, the District Court of Tarrant County, Texas, 236th Judicial District approved an order modifying the third sentence of Article VI, Section 6.08 of the Trust's indenture so that it permits a successor trustee of the Trust to have capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).

The modification to the indenture was in connection with the Trustee's previous announcement that it has entered into an agreement with Argent Trust Company, a Tennessee chartered trust company ("Argent"), pursuant to which the Trustee would be resigning as trustee of the Trust and had nominated Argent as successor trustee of the Trust.

The amendment to the indenture is set forth in Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
