DIVERSIFIED ROYALTY CORP. ANNOUNCES INCREASE TO PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED PUBLIC OFFERING OF 5.75% CONVERTIBLE UNSECURED SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES TO $60 MILLION

Due to strong demand, Diversified Royalty Corp. has entered into a revised agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC Capital Markets to increase the size of the previously announced offering. Under the revised agreement, the underwriters have agreed to purchase $60-million aggregate principal amount of 5.75 per cent convertible unsecured subordinated debentures at a price of $1,000 per debenture.

In addition, the corporation has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $9-million aggregate principal amount of debentures at the offering price for market stabilization purposes and to cover overallotments, if any. The overallotment option is exercisable, in whole or in part, by the underwriters at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the offering.

The debentures will mature March 31, 2031, and will bear interest at an annual rate of 5.75 per cent payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of March and September in each year, commencing Sept. 30, 2026. At the holder's option, the debentures may be converted into common shares of the corporation at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of the last business day immediately preceding March 31, 2031, and the date fixed for redemption. The conversion price will be $5.35 per common share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The debentures will not be redeemable on or before March 31, 2029. After March 31, 2029, and prior to March 31, 2030, the debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part from time to time at Diversified's option, provided that the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day preceding the date on which the notice of the redemption is given is not less than 125 per cent of the conversion price. On or after March 31, 2030, and prior to the maturity date, Diversified may, at its option, redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time at par plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The net proceeds of the offering are intended to be used to repay outstanding amounts under the corporation's acquisition facility, to finance expected additions to the royalty pools of certain of the corporation's royalty partners, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The repayment of indebtedness under the corporation's acquisition facility will thereby increase the amount available to be drawn under the acquisition facility to finance future acquisitions.

The debentures to be issued under the offering will be offered by way of a prospectus supplement to the corporation's existing short form base shelf prospectus dated July 22, 2025. The prospectus supplement will be filed with the securities commissions in all of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Quebec. Access to the prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus and any amendment to the offering documents is provided in accordance with securities legislation relating to procedures for providing access to a shelf prospectus supplement, a base shelf prospectus and any amendment. The base shelf prospectus is, and the prospectus supplement will be (within one business day from the date hereof), accessible on SEDAR+. The offering documents will contain important detailed information about the securities being offered. An electronic or paper copy of the prospectus supplement, the base shelf prospectus and any amendment to such offering documents may be obtained without charge from CIBC Capital Markets at 161 Bay St., fifth floor, Toronto, Ont., M5J 2S8, or by telephone at 1-416-956-6378 or by e-mail at mailbox.Canadianprospectus@cibc.com by providing the contact with an e-mail address or address, as applicable. Prospective investors should read the base shelf prospectus and the prospectus supplement (when filed) before making an investment decision.

Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about Feb. 9, 2026, and is subject to regulatory approval including that of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
