Quarterly Distribution Report No. 241

To the holders (the “Unit Holders”) of Trust Certificates representing interests (the “Trust Units”) in Mills Music Trust (the “Trust”):

This Quarterly Distribution report relates to the payment received by the Trust from Sony Music Publishing during the fourth quarter of 2024 (the “Q4 Distribution Period”), in respect of the contingent portion payment attributable to royalty income generated by the Trust’s copyright catalogue in the Q4 Distribution Period (the “Contingent Portion Payment”).

The Trust received $260,759 ($.9390 per Trust Unit) for the Contingent Portion Payment attributable to the Q4 Distribution Period, as compared to $288,427 ($1.0386 per Trust Unit) for the payment attributable to the fourth quarter of 2023.

After receiving the Contingent Portion Payment, the Trust paid $196,827 to third parties in connection with invoices rendered to the Trust, leaving a balance of $63,932 ($.2302 per Trust Unit). The Trustees have decided to reserve the full amount of such balance for administrative expenses in accordance with Section 5.7 of the Trust’s governing document, the Declaration of Trust dated December 3, 1964. As a result, the Trust will not make any distribution to the Unit Holders in respect to Contingent Portion Payment.
