Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sitio Royalties Corp. (STR) Form 4 filing reports ownership changes tied to a June 2, 2025 merger agreement. On 08/19/2025, all outstanding Class C common shares were cancelled and Opco units converted into interests in Viper Energy Partners LLC and Class B common stock of Viper Energy, Inc., and related securities held by reporting entities were disposed such that the reporting persons show 0 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock following the transactions. The filing also states that previously granted restricted stock awards fully vested at closing and that certain reissuance mechanics exist for forfeited restricted shares. Multiple Blackstone-related entities and managers are listed as reporting persons and the Form is one of two parts filed.

Positive

Merger conversion completed: Class C common stock cancelled and Opco units converted per the merger agreement dated June 2, 2025, executed 08/19/2025.
Restricted stock awards vested in connection with the closing, resolving contingent executive holdings.

Negative

Reporting persons show 0 Class A common shares beneficially owned following the reported transactions.
Complex ownership structure across many Blackstone entities required multiple filings and disclaimers, which may complicate investor clarity on ultimate beneficial ownership.

Insights

TL;DR: Post-merger conversion and cancellation of Class C shares left Blackstone-related reporting entities with zero Class A shares reported.

The filing documents an automatic cancellation of Class C common stock and conversion of Opco units under the merger agreement dated June 2, 2025, executed on 08/19/2025. Reported disposals and conversions result in 0 Class A common shares beneficially owned by the reporting persons after the transactions. The filing clarifies ownership chains among multiple Blackstone entities and confirms that executive restricted stock awards vested at closing, removing contingent holdings. For investors, this is an ownership-structure update following a corporate combination rather than an open-market sale or purchase activity.

TL;DR: The Form 4 is a routine regulatory disclosure reflecting structural changes from a merger, not active trading.

The document describes structural effects of the Agreement and Plan of Merger: cancellation of Class C common stock and conversion of Opco units into Viper Energy interests and Class B stock. It records that restricted awards vested at closing and that separate Form 4 filings were required for some reporting persons. The extensive footnotes map complex ownership and control among Blackstone affiliates, showing who filed and disclaimers of broader beneficial ownership claims. This is a material corporate event for capitalization and ownership records, but the filing itself serves as a compliance disclosure rather than indicating independent investment decisions.

6.

(the "Issuer")) generally has the right to cause Opco to redeem all or a portion of its Opco Units (the "Redemption Right") in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis or, at Opco's election, an equivalent amount of cash.

7. (Continued from Footnote 6) The Issuer may, at its option, effect a direct purchase of such Opco Units for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer in lieu of such a redemption by Opco. Upon the future redemption or sale of Opco Units pursuant to the Redemption Right, a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock and Opco Units will be cancelled.

Each restricted stock award will vest in equal installments on the first four anniversaries of the applicable date of grant, so long as the executive officer remains continuously employed by the Issuer through each vesting date. To the extent that a restricted stock award is forfeited, the shares of Class C Common Stock and Opco Units subject to such forfeited award will be returned to the Issuer.

10. (Continued from Footnote 9) In connection with the foregoing, the Issuer and the DPM Members entered into that certain Assignment and Allocation Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2022 (the "Allocation Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed that it would re-issue to the DPM Members, on a one-for-one basis, shares of Class C Common Stock and Opco Units to the extent Restricted Shares are forfeited by the original holders thereof, with RRR Aggregator entitled to receive its pro rata portion of any such shares re-issued.
