31 October 2018

Duke Royalty Limited

("Duke Royalty", "Duke" or the "Company")

Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") awards,

Grant of Options, Ordinary Shares and Warrant issuance,

Admission of New Ordinary Shares and Total Voting Rights

Duke Royalty Limited (AIM: DUKE) announces that the Company's Remuneration Committee has approved the following Performance Share Awards ("PSA's") under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). The LTIP framework was detailed within the Company's admission document which was published on 20 March 2017 and was put into place post Admission.

The PSA's for the financial year to 31 March 2018 are as follows:

 
 Neil Johnson             850,000 ordinary shares 
 Charlie Cannon-Brookes   600,000 ordinary shares 
                         ------------------------ 
 Jim Webster              215,000 ordinary shares 
                         ------------------------ 
 

The PSA's vest after a period of three years and are subject to various performance conditions outlined in the Company's admission document (and available on the Company's website) and set by the Remuneration Committee, all in accordance with the LTIP rules. The LTIP Awards will be subject to a performance condition based 50 per cent. on total shareholder return ("TSR") and 50 per cent. on total cash available for distribution per share ("TCAD per Share"). TSR can be defined as the returns generated by shareholders based on the combined value of the dividends paid out by the Company and the share price performance over the period in question.

In addition to the PSA's, the Remuneration Committee also approved the issuance of 305,000 new ordinary shares of no par value (the "New Ordinary Shares") in the Company and the grant of 200,000 options over Ordinary Shares (the "Options") under the Company's option plan. The Options expire five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of GBP 0.50. The New Ordinary Shares and Options were issued to certain Non-Executive Directors, members of the Investment Committee and to new members of the Duke team, Steven Russo and Ajay Shivdasani (the "New Joiners"). The New Ordinary Shares were issued to Non-Executive Directors and Investment Committee members in recognition of the significant contribution made during the previous financial year and for voluntarily forgoing service fees. The New Joiners were issued a mix of New Ordinary Shares and Options as signing bonuses to mitigate remuneration they both forgo when leaving their previous employment, and to further align their interests with shareholders.

 
 Nigel Birrell                  44,500 ordinary shares 
 Matthew Wrigley                27,000 ordinary shares 
                               ------------------------------------ 
 Investment Committee members   133,500 ordinary shares 
                               ------------------------------------ 
 New Joiners                    100,000 ordinary shares and 200,000 
                                 Options 
                               ------------------------------------ 
 

The Board also approved the grant of 2,375,000 Warrants to Partners Value Investments LP ("PVI") in consideration for the provision of services provided by PVI to the Company under the terms of the Strategic Advisory Agreement (as announced on 8 November 2017). The warrants were issued as consideration for introductory services and deal origination as well as for the provision of debt advisory services. PVI elected to receive warrants instead of cash to further align themselves with the Company and preserve liquidity within Duke. The warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of GBP 0.50. In aggregate, following issue of these warrants, PVI will be interested in 8,750,000 ordinary shares representing approximately 4.41 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital and in 4,375,000 warrants.
