             As previously disclosed, Ms. Rosalie J. Wolf retired as a
             Trustee of North European Oil Royalty Trust (the "Trust")
             effective May 31, 2017.  In order to fill the vacancy created by
             Ms. Wolf's retirement, on June 5, 2017, the Trustees appointed
             Ahron H. Haspel as a Trustee.

             The Trustees also determined that Mr. Haspel meets the
             independence standards of the rules of the New York Stock
             Exchange and that he has the attributes required by the
             applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to
             qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in
             Regulation S-K.  As a result, Mr. Haspel will serve on the
             Trust's Audit Committee, and will be an audit committee
             financial expert.  In addition, Mr. Haspel will serve on the
             Trust's Compensation Committee.

             Mr. Haspel is a member of the Board of Directors of Hanover
             Community Bank located in New Hyde Park, New York and chairman
             of its Audit Committee.  He is a retired partner of the Jones
             Day law firm and was a partner with the audit firm of KPMG LLC
             for 28 years where he served in various leadership positions
             including as a member of its Board of Directors.

             There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Haspel
             and any person pursuant to which Mr. Haspel was selected as a
             Trustee, and there are no actual or proposed transactions
             between Mr. Haspel or any of his related persons and the Trust
             that would require disclosure under Item 404 (a) of Regulation
             S-K (17 CFR 229.404(a)) in connection with his appointment as a
             Trustee.

             Mr. Haspel will be compensated in accordance with the Trust's
             standard compensation policies and practices for Trustees, which
             are disclosed in the Trust's Proxy Statement for its 2017 Annual
             Meeting of Unit Owners dated January 10, 2017.

             Except as set forth above, there is no other material Trust
             plan, contract or arrangement in which Mr. Haspel will
             participate in connection with his appointment.
