____________________

(1)

From the first quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2023, the Trustee withheld a portion of the proceeds otherwise available for distribution each quarter and built a $1,265,000 cash reserve for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities of the Trust. The July 2026 distribution includes the remaining balance of such reserve after prior payment of certain expenses of the Trust.

Termination of the Trust

The net profits interest terminated on June 30, 2026 (the “Termination Date”) because the minimum amount of production (14.4 MMBoe) applicable to the net profits interest has been produced and sold (which amount is the equivalent of 11.5 MMBoe with respect to the Trust’s net profits interest). In accordance with the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement governing the Trust (the “Trust Agreement”), the Trust dissolved as of the Termination Date and the Trustee has commenced the winding up of the business and affairs of the Trust. The Trust will not be entitled to any net proceeds that MV Partners, LLC (“MV Partners”) receives after the Termination Date from the sale of production from the underlying properties. Once the Trust winds up and terminates, it will pay no further distributions.

The market price of the Trust’s Units of Beneficial Interest (the “Trust Units”) is expected to decline to zero by the time of the final distribution.

Delisting of Trust Units

Due to the termination of the net profits interest and the dissolution of the Trust on June 30, 2026, on July 2, 2026, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee of the Trust, notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of the Trust’s intention to voluntarily withdraw the listing of the Trust Units from the NYSE following the final quarterly cash distribution on July 24, 2026. The Trust expects that listing and trading of the Trust Units will end prior to market open on July 27, 2026. The Trust Units will not be listed or registered on another national securities exchange following their delisting from the NYSE.

Final Quarterly Report

Promptly following the delisting of the Trust Units, the Trust intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requesting the termination of registration of the Trust Units under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the suspension of the Trust’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Trust plans to effect the cancellation of the Trust Units shortly thereafter. The Trust does not intend to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and instead plans to provide a report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 on the Trust’s website, http://mvo.q4web.com/home/default.aspx, within 75 days after the end of the second quarter, in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

In compliance with the reporting requirements for non-mortgage widely held fixed investment trusts and the dissemination of Trust tax reporting information, the Trustee will provide a generic tax information reporting booklet that is intended to be used only to assist Trust unitholders in the preparation of their 2026 federal and state income tax returns. The projected payment schedule for the net profits interest will be included with the tax information booklet.
