Item 8.01.   Other Events.
As previously reported, on August 12, 2011, LL&E Royalty Trust convened a Special Meeting of Unitholders at the request of a Unitholder. The purpose of the Special Meeting was to vote on the Unitholder’s proposal to remove The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee of LL&E Royalty Trust, and appoint Premier Bank & Trust, National Association (“Premier”), as successor trustee. As previously reported, Premier withdrew its consent to serve as successor trustee shortly prior to the Special Meeting. Consequently, as previously reported, the Special Meeting was temporarily adjourned from day to day until 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2011 to give Premier time in which to reconsider its decision.
The Special Meeting reconvened at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2011. At the Special Meeting, the removal of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as Trustee and appointment of Premier was approved by the Trust’s unitholders. However, as of the time of the Special Meeting, the Trustee had not received any communication from Premier indicating that it had reconsidered its willingness to serve as successor trustee. Consequently, neither the removal of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. nor the appointment of Premier will occur unless Premier accepts its appointment by written notice of acceptance delivered to the Trustee by noon Eastern Time on August 26, 2011. A copy of the press release issued by the Trust regarding the forgoing is furnished herewith.
The Trust will file an additional report on Form 8-K reporting the vote totals within the applicable time period.
