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


           Year.

On September 23, 2022, upon request of Simmons Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee") of Marine Petroleum Trust (the "Trust"), the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, 298th Judicial District approved an order modifying Article VI, Section 8 of the Trust's indenture to substitute "United States" for "State of Texas" so that it permits a successor trustee of the Trust to be a national bank, state bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having unimpaired capital and surplus of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).

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 will be resigning as trustee of the Trust and had nominated Argent as successor trustee of the Trust. The Trustee's resignation as trustee, and Argent's appointment as successor trustee, are subject to certain conditions set forth in the agreement, including approval by the unitholders of certain other trusts of which Simmons Bank acts as trustee (or a court) of (i) Argent's appointment as successor trustee and (ii) any amendments to the trust agreements and indentures of the other trusts necessary to permit Argent to serve as successor trustee.

The full text of the indenture, as modified by the court's order is set forth in Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

4.1* Indenture, as amended on September 23, 2022, of Marine Petroleum Trust.
