Simmons Bank, as Trustee of the Permian Basin Royalty Trust (Permian) declared a cash distribution to the holders of its units of beneficial interest of $0.043114 per unit, payable on February 14, 2020, to unit holders of record on January 31, 2020. This month's distribution increased from the previous month due primarily to an increase in the pricing for oil production offset by a decrease in production for both oil and gas and a decrease in the pricing of gas on the Waddell Ranch.

Its Waddell Ranch Properties have proved reserves in six fields: Dune, Sand Hills (Judkins), Sand Hills (McKnight), Sand Hills (Tubb), University-Waddell (Devonian) and Waddell.
