Exhibit 99.1
Delaware Court of Chancery Rules in Favor of Texas
Pacific Land Corporation on Litigation Related to Stockholders’ Agreement
DALLAS – December 4, 2023 – Texas Pacific Land
Corporation (NYSE: TPL) (“TPL” or the “Company”) announced today that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the
“Court”) has ruled in favor of TPL in the litigation between the Company and Horizon Kinetics LLC, Horizon Kinetics
Asset Management LLC, SoftVest Advisors, LLC and SoftVest, L.P. (collectively, the “Investor Group”), in Texas
Pacific Land Corp. v. Horizon Kinetics LLC, (C.A. No. 2022-1066-JTL) (Del. Ch.). On December 1, 2023, the Court ruled that the
Investor Group should have voted with the Board’s recommendation on Proposal 4, the Company’s proposal to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock (the “Share Authorization Proposal”) at the 2022 Annual Meeting, under the terms of
the June 2020 Stockholders’ Agreement with the Company (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). The Court has deemed
the Investor Group’s shares to have been voted in favor of the Share Authorization Proposal, which has been deemed approved by
stockholders.
As previously disclosed, once a final order is entered and an amended charter
is filed, the Company intends to use a portion of the newly authorized shares to affect a stock split of the Company’s common stock
in the form of a stock dividend, and the Court has conditioned the Share Authorization Proposal on such a stock split. In addition, the
Share Authorization Proposal increases the number of authorized, unissued shares of common stock.
Sidley Austin LLP and Abrams & Bayliss LLP represented TPL in the litigation.
Forward Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are
based on TPL’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, TPL, and therefore involve risks
and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Generally, future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,”
“should,” “could,” or “may” and the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “continue,”
“intend,” “expect” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, statements regarding the expected benefits of the Share Authorization Proposal and TPL’s intention to use
a portion of the newly authorized shares for a 3-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock in the form of a stock dividend. Although
TPL believes that plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements made herein are reasonable,
TPL may be unable to achieve such plans, intentions or expectations and actual results, and performance or achievements may vary materially
and adversely from those envisaged in this news release. For more information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ
from those expressed, see TPL’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required
by applicable law, TPL undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or other statements herein for revisions or changes
after this communication is made.
