Triple Flag Receives Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid

Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (with its subsidiaries, “Triple Flag” or the “Company”) (TSX:TFPM, NYSE:TFPM) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has accepted the notice filed by Triple Flag to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”).

Under the NCIB, Triple Flag is authorized to purchase up to 2,000,000 of its common shares (the “Common Shares”) (out of the 155,854,615 Common Shares issued and outstanding as at November 8, 2022), representing 1.3% of Triple Flag’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, during the period starting on November 15, 2022 and ending on November 14, 2023.

In deciding to establish the NCIB, Triple Flag believes that the purchase of Common Shares from time to time can be undertaken at prices that make the acquisition of such Common Shares an appropriate use of Triple Flag’s available funds and an appropriate mechanism for returning capital to its shareholders.

Triple Flag may make any purchases through the facilities of the TSX, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and alternative trading systems, if eligible, or by such other means as may be permitted by the TSX, the NYSE or under applicable law by a registered investment dealer (or an affiliate of the dealer). Daily repurchases on the TSX will be limited to a maximum of 9,186 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the period from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022 (being 36,744 Common Shares), except where purchases are made in accordance with the “block purchase exception” of the TSX rules. Rule 10b-18 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 contains similar volume-based restrictions on daily purchases on the NYSE, subject to certain exceptions for block repurchases. All Common Shares that are repurchased by Triple Flag under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Purchase and payment for the Common Shares will be made by Triple Flag in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. The price that Triple Flag will pay for the Common Shares in open market transactions acquired by it will be the market price of the Common Shares at the time of acquisition or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX.

Triple Flag has also entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the “ASPP”) with the designated broker responsible for the NCIB to allow for the purchase of Common Shares under the NCIB at times when Triple Flag would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase its Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods.

Pursuant to the ASPP, prior to entering into a blackout period, Triple Flag may, but is not required to, instruct the designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be determined by the designated broker in its sole discretion based on parameters established by Triple Flag prior to the blackout period in accordance with the rules of the TSX, the NYSE, applicable securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. The ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSX and will be implemented effective January 1, 2023.

Outside of the pre-determined blackout periods, Common Shares may be purchased under the NCIB based on the discretion of Triple Flag’s management, in compliance with the rules of the TSX, the NYSE and applicable securities laws. All repurchases made under the ASPP will be included in computing the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB.

Although Triple Flag has a present intention to acquire its Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB, Triple Flag will not be obligated to make any purchases and purchases may be suspended by Triple Flag at any time. Decisions regarding any future repurchases will depend on certain factors, such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. Triple Flag may elect to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws.

For its NCIB that began on October 14, 2021 and expired on October 13, 2022, Triple Flag previously sought and received approval from the TSX to repurchase up to 2,000,000 of its Common Shares. Of this amount, Triple Flag repurchased 338,100 Common Shares, consisting of 74,072 Common Shares repurchased in Canadian dollars under the symbol TFPM for a total cost of approximately C$1.7 million (representing an average cost of C$15.82 per Common Share) and 264,028 Common Shares repurchased in U.S. dollars under the symbol TFPM.U for a total cost of approximately US$3 million (representing an average cost of US$11.20 per Common Share). Triple Flag repurchased the Common Shares through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading systems.

Our assessments of, and expectations for, future periods (including, but not limited to, repurchases of our common shares), are considered forward-looking information. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding possible future events or circumstances.

The forward-looking information included in this news release is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. The forward-looking information contained in this news release is also based upon the ongoing operation of the properties in which we hold a stream or royalty interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; and the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following: assumptions in respect of current and future market conditions and the execution of our business strategies, that operations, or ramp-up where applicable, at properties in which we hold a royalty, stream or other interest, continue without further interruption through the period, and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated, intended or implied. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is also subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual information form and in our most recent management’s discussion and analysis. For clarity, mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability and inferred resources are considered too geologically speculative for the application of economic considerations.

Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this news release represents our expectations as of the date of this news release and is subject to change after such date.
