Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;

Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain

Officers.

On June 30, 2021, Black Stone Minerals, L.P. (the "Partnership") announced that Black Stone Minerals GP, L.L.C., the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"), expects to appoint Carrie P. Clark as its Senior Vice President, Land & Legal, effective August 2, 2021.

Ms. Clark, 44, has over 20 years of land and legal experience, mostly in senior roles. She most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of University Lands, a company within the University of Texas System that manages over 2 million acres of surface and mineral interests in West Texas. Before joining University Lands, Ms. Clark was Deputy General Counsel at Talos Energy, LLC, now a public offshore exploration and production company, where she headed land. Before Talos, she served as Vice President, Land & Legal at EnerVest Operating LLC, a private operator, where she oversaw land and legal and managed acquisitions and divestitures. Ms. Clark began her career in land and legal roles at Shell Oil Company and a Texas-based electric cooperative. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of Brigham Minerals Corporation but expects to step down from that position in connection with her appointment at the General Partner. She has a JD from the University of Houston Law Center and a BBA in Petroleum Land Management and Finance from Texas Tech University.

The Partnership expects that Ms. Clark will enter into a severance agreement with Black Stone Natural Resources Management Company, in a form substantially similar to those entered into by Mr. Wood and Mr. Putman, that will provide for the payment of cash severance payments and benefits in the event Ms. Clark's employment is terminated under certain circumstances, but she has not yet entered into such agreement. The Partnership also expects that Ms. Clark will receive awards under the Partnership's Long-Term Incentive Plan with terms substantially similar to the awards granted to the General Partner's other executive officers, but it has not yet awarded her any grants under that plan.
