Closing of New Credit Facility

Further to its announcement on 12 December 2022 regarding the refinancing and upsizing of its credit facility with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, Duke Royalty is pleased to announce that the refinancing has now closed and the initial drawdown has taken place, earlier than the original expectation of mid/late January.

The material terms of the new credit facility are as follows:

-- Term facility of up to GBP100 million to replace Duke's existing GBP55 million term and revolving facilities

-- Five-year term, expiring in January 2028 with a bullet repayment on expiry and no amortisation payments during the five-year term

-- Interest rate equal to SONIA plus 5.00% per annum, which represents an improvement of 225bps on Duke's existing rate of SONIA plus 7.25%

-- As part of the deal, Duke will issue 41,615,134 warrants to Fairfax with a five-year maturity and strike price of 45 pence reflecting the strategic nature of the deal
