LB Schedule 13D/A updates 48.6M shares, $70 secondary offering
LandBridge Company LLC's major owners filed Amendment No. 3 to their Schedule 13D to update their holdings and recent transactions in Class A shares. The filing centers on a November 18, 2025 underwritten public offering in which LandBridge Holdings LLC sold 2,500,000 Class A shares at $70.00 per share after redeeming an equivalent number of OpCo Units and cancelling the same number of Class B shares. Following these changes, the reporting persons may be deemed to beneficially own 48,593,505 Class A shares, or about 63.6% of the outstanding Class A shares, with a stated fully diluted beneficial ownership of 63.0%. The amendment also notes prior cancellations of 28,004 and 119,987 OpCo Units (with corresponding Class B shares) in lieu of certain tax distributions, a 60‑day lock-up on additional sales, and a 30‑day underwriter option to purchase up to 375,000 additional Class A shares at $70.00 per share.

Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 3") amends and restates (where indicated) the Schedule 13D originally filed with the SEC on July 3, 2024, as amended on December 23, 2024 and May 23, 2025 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"), by the Reporting Persons and relates to the Class A shares of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 3 is being filed by the Reporting Persons:
(a) in connection with an underwritten public offering on November 18, 2025, to report the sale of 2,500,000 Class A shares by LandBridge Holdings LLC ("LandBridge Holdings"), at a price per share of $70.00 and the corresponding redemption of 2,500,000 OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of 2,500,000 Class B shares) (the "2025 Sale"). The underwriter in the 2025 Sale (the "Underwriter") may offer the Class A shares from time to time in one or more transactions on the NYSE, the NYSE Texas, in the over-the-counter market or through negotiated transactions at market prices or at negotiated prices; and
(b) to reflect the cancellation of 28,004 OpCo Units and 119,987 OpCo Units (each, together with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares) held by LandBridge Holdings on June 9, 2025 and September 8, 2025, respectively, in lieu of the payment of a tax distribution by OpCo to the Issuer in excess of the Issuer's current income tax obligation for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. | ||
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
The information set forth in amended Item 6 below is incorporated by reference herein.
The Offering
On November 17, 2025, the Issuer, LandBridge Holdings and Underwriter entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement"), pursuant to which LandBridge Holdings agreed to sell to the Underwriter, and the Underwriter agreed to purchase from the LandBridge Holdings, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, 2,500,000 Class A shares (the "Offering"), at a price to the Underwriter of $70.00 per share. The Underwriter may offer the Class A shares from time to time in one or more transactions on the NYSE, the NYSE Texas, in the over-the-counter market or through negotiated transactions at market prices or at negotiated prices. The Issuer has an effective shelf registration statement (including a prospectus) on Form S-3 on file with the SEC and has filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for the Offering. The Offering was consummated on November 18, 2025.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer and the LandBridge Holdings and other customary obligations of the parties and termination provisions. For additional information regarding the Underwriting Agreement, see Item 6 below. | ||
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
| (a) | The information set forth on the cover pages is incorporated by reference into this Item 5. | |
| (b) | The information set forth on the cover pages is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.
LandBridge Holdings holds 48,593,505 Class B shares and the same number of OpCo Units. The terms of the OpCo LLC Agreement provide each holder of an OpCo Unit, subject to certain limitations, the right (the "Redemption Right") to cause OpCo to acquire all or a portion of its OpCo Units (along with the cancellation of a corresponding number of the Issuer's Class B shares) for, at OpCo's election, (i) Class A shares at a redemption ratio of one Class A share for each OpCo Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for equity splits, dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions ("applicable conversion rate adjustments"), or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Amount (as defined in the OpCo LLC Agreement) of such Class A shares. As a result, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 under the Act, LandBridge Holdings, DNC, the Fund II Entities and the Fund III Entities may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 48,593,505 Class A shares. The aggregate number of Class A shares beneficially owned by each of LandBridge Holdings, DNC, the Fund II Entities and the Fund III Entities represents approximately 63.6% of the outstanding Class A shares, based on the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the number of Class A shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (assuming that all OpCo Units owned by the Reporting Persons were redeemed for newly-issued Class A shares on a one-for-one basis) by (b) the sum of (i) 25,338,199 Class A shares outstanding as of November 12, 2025, as disclosed in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2025, (ii) 2,500,000 Class A shares issued in connection with the redemption of a corresponding number of OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares), as further described in Item 5 below, and (iii) the number of Class A shares set forth in clause (a). As of the date hereof and on a fully diluted basis, LandBridge Holdings owned (x) 98.7% of all outstanding Class B shares and (y) 63.0% of the outstanding OpCo Units, and the Issuer owned 36.1% of the OpCo Units.
Each of Fund II and Fund III (who collectively own 97.4% of the capital interests of LandBridge Holdings), GP II LP (as sole general partner of Fund II), GP III LP (as sole general partner of Fund III), GP II LLC (as sole general partner of GP II LP), GP III LLC (as sole general partner of GP III LP) and DNC (as the sole member of each of GP II LLC and GP III LLC) may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by LandBridge Holdings.
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the above-listed entities or individuals is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D. | |
| (c) | The information set forth in Item 6 of this Amendment No. 3 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c).
In connection with the 2025 Sale, LandBridge Holdings (i) received 2,500,000 Class A shares in connection with the redemption of a corresponding number of OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares) and (ii) sold 2,500,000 Class A shares at a price per share of $70.00, in an underwritten public offering. This amount represents the price to the Underwriter. The Underwriter may offer the Class A shares from time to time in one or more transactions on the NYSE, the NYSE Texas, in the over-the-counter market or through negotiated transactions at market prices or at negotiated prices.
Pursuant to the OpCo LLC Agreement, on July 2, 2025, the Issuer cancelled 28,004 OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares) held by LandBridge Holdings in lieu of the payment of a tax distribution by OpCo to the Issuer in excess of the Issuer's current income tax obligation for the three months ended June 30, 2025. LandBridge Holdings did not receive any consideration for the cancellation of these shares.
Pursuant to the OpCo LLC Agreement, on September 8, 2025, the Issuer cancelled 119,987 OpCo Units (together with the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B shares) held by LandBridge Holdings in lieu of the payment of a tax distribution by OpCo to the Issuer in excess of the Issuer's current income tax obligation for the three months ended September 30, 2025. LandBridge Holdings did not receive any consideration for the cancellation of these shares.
Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other individuals named in Item 2, has effected any transaction in Class A shares during the past 60 days. | |
