Dear Unitholder:

 

On July 12, 2023, Pacific Coast Oil Trust (the “Trust”) will hold a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of unitholders of the Trust (the “Unitholders”) to consider proposals to approve: (1) the removal of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) as the trustee of the Trust and (2) an amendment to Section 8.02 of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust, dated as of May 8, 2012, requiring the Trust to bear all costs associated with calling any meeting of Unitholders that is called by Unitholders owning of record not less than 10% in number of the then outstanding Trust Units should any of the proposals submitted at such meeting receive a majority vote in favor.

 

On or about June 7, 2023, the Trust caused to be mailed to unitholders a proxy statement relating to the Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”).
