Kensington litigation settlement

On March 28, 2024, Triple Flag and Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur”) entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation regarding the terms of a royalty held by Triple Flag on Coeur’s Kensington gold mine.

As part of the settlement agreement, Triple Flag shall receive $6.75 million in Coeur shares ($3.0 million received in April 2024, and $3.75 million to be received in the first quarter of 2025). The Coeur share consideration is in settlement of royalties in arrears and litigation expenses incurred. As such, the settlement amounts were recognized as revenue and recoupment of costs in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Effective January 1, 2024, the royalty to pay at a rate of 1.25% of net smelter returns occurring through to December 31, 2026;
The royalty rate will increase to 1.50% of net smelter returns from January 1, 2027; and
The amended net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty is subject to a cap of two million ounces of gold, adjusted for consideration received related to royalties in arrears.
