ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This statement relates to the Common Stock ("Shares") of Texas Pacific Land Corporation ("TPL"). The address of TPL's principal executive office is 1700 Pacific Avenue, Suite 2770, Dallas, Texas 75201.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This Schedule 13D is being filed by Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC ("Horizon") a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC (collectively, "Horizon Kinetics"). Horizon Kinetics maintains a principal business address of 470 Park Avenue South, New York, New York 10016. Neither Horizon Kinetics nor any of its executive officers have, in the last 5 years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Horizon Kinetics, through its registered investment adviser, Horizon, acts as a discretionary investment manager on behalf of its clients, who maintain beneficial interest in TPL. In addition, Horizon Kinetics and its principals maintain ownership of TPL by virtue of investments in certain accounts, including proprietary accounts.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Horizon Kinetics has acquired Shares of TPL for investment purposes from time to time for more than twenty years on behalf of both its clients as well as its own interest. Horizon Kinetics used client assets to purchase Shares on behalf of its clients, and its own working capital to purchase shares for its proprietary accounts, which has included funds deposited by its personnel.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Horizon Kinetics has purchased Shares for investment purposes and may purchase additional shares for the same purpose.
On January 11, 2021, in accordance with the plan of corporate reorganization approved on March 20, 2020 by the Trustees of Texas Pacific Land Trust (the "Trust") to reorganize the Trust into Texas Pacific Land Corporation ("TPL Corporation"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust, the Trust distributed all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of TPL Corporation to holders of Shares, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their interests in the Trust. In connection therewith, Murray Stahl CEO and CIO of Horizon Kinetics was appointed to the Board as of the same date. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement dated June 11, 2020, Horizon Kinetics has agreed to vote all of their shares of common stock at each annual or special meeting of stockholders (or in any action by written consent of stockholders) of TPL in accordance with the Board's recommendations, subject to certain exceptions (see, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/97517/000121390020014919/ea122864ex10-1_texas.htm)
Horizon Kinetics intends to review their investment in the Shares on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, TPL's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Horizon Kinetics may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in TPL as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Shares or selling some or all of their Shares.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Percentages of the Shares outstanding reported are calculated based upon the 7,746,356 Shares outstanding as of November 29, 2021, as reported in Texas Pacific Land Corporation's current Form 8-K for the period ended December 29, 2021, filed by TPL with the SEC on January 5, 2022.
The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by Horizon, on behalf of its clients, including its proprietary accounts may be found in rows 11 and 13 of the cover page, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
This Schedule 13D does not include approximately 25,348 Shares of TPL held personally by senior portfolio managers of Horizon Kinetics. The right to dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of such Shares resides with the beneficial owners of such accounts, and Horizon with respect to its proprietary accounts. Transactions effected by Horizon in the last 60 days are as listed below. All sales were the result of a client direction or account limitation, and no sales were made in any proprietary account.
