MARINE PETROLEUM TRUST 8-K

What Happened Marine Petroleum Trust (MARPS) filed a Form 8-K on February 17, 2026 (Item 7.01) to disclose, under Regulation FD, that it issued a press release announcing a quarterly cash distribution to unitholders of record on February 27, 2026. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K.

Key Details

• Record date for the distribution: February 27, 2026.
• Press release announcing the distribution dated: February 17, 2026 (filed as Exhibit 99.1).
• Filing made under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure); the disclosure is furnished, not “filed,” and the company states it should not be incorporated by reference into other filings.
• Form 8-K signed by Argent Trust Company (as trustee) by Nancy Willis, Director of Royalty Trust Services.

Why It Matters A declared quarterly cash distribution is material for unitholders because the record date determines who is eligible to receive the payment. The Form 8-K does not state the distribution amount or payment date; investors should review the company’s press release (Exhibit 99.1) or contact their broker for the payment amount and timing before making decisions. This disclosure being furnished under Regulation FD means the company shared the information publicly but did not incorporate it into other SEC filings.
