Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 22, 2021, Kiewit Royalty Trust (the "Trust") commenced the auction process with EnergyNet to offer for sale the Trust's non-producing overriding royalty interests ("ORRI") located in Big Horn County, Montana (the "Decker Mines") and Sweetwater County, Wyoming (the "Black Butte Mine"). EnergyNet developed and hosted the online auction to facilitate the sale of the Trust's ORRI. On September 29, 2021, Spartan Energy Acquisitions, LLC ("Spartan") of Denver, Colorado was the successful bidder in the EnergyNet auction and has agreed to purchase the ORRI in the Decker Mines and Black Butte Mine. The transfer of these ORRIs is subject to various closing conditions, including either court approval or Unit Holder approval of the transaction. After the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the Trust has agreed to convey to Spartan the ORRIs in exchange for a total cash value of $12,510. Closing is expected in late 2021 or early 2022.

Item 2.02 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this current report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.




Item 8.01 Other Events.



Because the auction was successful, the Trust intends to petition the County Court in the County of Douglas, State of Nebraska in October 2021 in order to liquidate all of the Trust assets and wind up the operations of the Trust pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture. The Trust believes that it will not receive any additional royalty payments and without such payments cannot continue operating.
