Pacific Coast Oil Trust Announces Planned Establishment of Cash Reserve

PACIFIC COAST OIL TRUST (NYSE:ROYT) (the “Trust”), today announced that its trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), has determined to gradually build a cash reserve for the payment of future expenses and liabilities of the Trust, as permitted by the trust agreement.

Commencing with the distribution to unitholders payable in the first month of 2019, the Trustee intends to begin withholding the greater of $10,000 or 3.5% of the funds otherwise available for distribution each month to gradually build a cash reserve of approximately $350,000. The Trustee may increase or decrease the targeted amount at any time, and may increase or decrease the rate at which it is withholding funds to build the cash reserve at any time, without advance notice to the unitholders. Cash held in reserve will be invested as required by the trust agreement. Any cash reserved in excess of the amount necessary to pay or provide for the payment of future known, anticipated or contingent expenses or liabilities eventually will be distributed to unitholders, together with interest earned on the funds.
