EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (the “Partnership”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K was filed to, among other things, report the results of the Partnership’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose, in accordance with Item 5.07(d) of Form 8-K, the Partnership’s decision as to the frequency of future unitholder advisory votes regarding executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay votes”). Except as set forth herein, no other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
 
Item 5.07             Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
Based on the results of the unitholder vote on the establishment of the frequency of Say-on-Pay proposals, and consistent with the Board of Managers’ prior recommendation to the Partnership’s unitholders in connection with such vote, the Partnership has determined that, until the next vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay proposals, the Partnership will hold an advisory Say-on-Pay vote every three years.
