(the "Company" or "OR Royalties") (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a second quarter 2026 dividend of US$0.065 per common share, an 18.2% increase over the previous quarterly dividend. The dividend will be paid on July 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 30, 2026.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Company also wishes to remind its shareholders that it has implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (the "Plan"). Shareholders who are residents of Canada and the United States may elect to participate in the Plan in connection with the dividend to be paid on July 15, 2026 to shareholders on record as of June 30, 2026, and consequently benefit from the 3% discount offered for the second quarter dividend.
