November 29, 2024 – Vancouver, BC: Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. (“Elemental Altus” or “the Company”) (TSX-V: ELE, OTCQX: ELEMF), announces the voting results from its Annual General and Special Meeting held on November 28, 2024 (the “Meeting”), as well as changes to the Board to better align with best corporate governance practices.

Each of the following matters approved at the Meeting were described in detail in the Company’s management information circular dated October 30, 2024, available on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.elementalaltus.com.

* Excluding 7,761,276 shares held by Insiders.

As part of an effort to renew the Board, the Company has decided to make changes that reduce the overall size but also increase overall independence and stability for decision making. As such, prior to the Meeting, Peter Williams and David Netherway notified the Company that they were withdrawing from standing for re-election as directors at the Meeting. This follows the recent addition of Prashant Francis to the Board and enables the Company to reduce the size of the Board to seven from nine. Accordingly, the seven directors named above were elected at the Meeting. In addition, Mr. Robert Milroy has also indicated that he will retire as a member of the Board on the earlier of March 31, 2025, and the date on which his replacement is appointed.

Consistent with the Company’s commitment to best corporate governance practices and maintaining diverse and qualified directors charged with overseeing the Company’s strategy and driving shareholder value, the Board will establish a standing Nominating & Governance Committee that shall be responsible for proposing nominees to the Board, monitoring the size and composition of the Board and its committees, and overseeing corporate governance matters. Immediately following the formation of the Nominating & Governance Committee, the Committee will use its best efforts to find and appoint an independent director to replace the vacancy that will be created by Mr. Milroy’s retirement.

As a final step towards the Company’s Board refreshment, La Mancha has undertaken to replace one of its current La Mancha Nominees (as such term is defined in the investor rights agreement between the Company and La Mancha) to the Board on or before December 31, 2024, in favor of an independent board member appointed by La Mancha.

These changes reflect a renewed will amongst the Company and La Mancha to position the Company to take optimal advantage of the significant opportunities currently available in the sector.

“The Company would like to thank Peter Williams and David Netherway for their years of dedication and service to Elemental Altus,” said John Robins, Chair of the Board. “Peter was a founding director of the predecessor company Elemental Royalties Corp. (“Elemental”) and steered it through the start-up phase as a private company to its listing in Canada and merger with Altus Strategies plc (“Altus”). David was a founding director of Altus and guided its development as a private company through to its listing in London and merger with Elemental. Both Peter and David remain significant shareholders and supporters in the Company.

The strong mandate on all matters raised at the Meeting speaks to the alignment and support of the Company’s major shareholders on strategic direction, we look forward to continuing to accelerate the acquisition of royalties and reviewing all value-creating strategic options.”

As set forth above, at the Meeting shareholders approved and ratified the Company’s incentive compensation plan (the “Omnibus Plan”), including (i) the setting-aside, allotting and reserving 10% of the Company’s outstanding common shares (“Common Shares”) from time to time for issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Omnibus Plan and (ii) an amendment to the Omnibus Plan to increase the number of Common Shares that may be issued under the “fixed 10% plan” with respect to awards of restricted share units and performance share units by 1,500,000 Common Shares, and the setting-aside, allotting and reserving of an aggregate additional 1,500,000 Common Shares from time to time for issuance pursuant to such awards. The full text of the Omnibus Plan can be found in Schedule “E” of the Company’s management and information circular, a copy of which can be found on the Company’s profile at SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca. The Omnibus Plan remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In addition, shareholders approved and ratified the Company’s Advance Notice Policy adopted by the Board of Elemental Altus on October 28, 2024. The Board intends to amend the Advance Notice Policy to provide that a new notice period thereunder will commence in the event that the originally scheduled shareholder meeting is either adjourned or postponed to a later date, and will also conduct a review of the Advance Notice Policy to confirm it aligns with best governance practices. The full text of the Advance Notice Policy can be found in Schedule “E” of the Company’s management and information circular, a copy of which can be found on the Company’s profile at SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca.
