Details for Dividend Declaration and Dividend Reinvestment
Plan
The dividend has been declared in U.S. dollars and the Canadian
dollar equivalent will be determined based on the daily average
rate posted by the Bank of Canada
on the Record Date. Under Canadian tax legislation, Canadian
resident individuals who receive "eligible dividends" are entitled
to an enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit on such
dividends.
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "DRIP") which
allows shareholders of Franco-Nevada to reinvest dividends to
purchase additional common shares at the Average Market Price, as
defined in the DRIP, subject to a discount from the Average Market
Price in the case of treasury acquisitions. The Company will issue
additional common shares through treasury at a 1% discount to the
Average Market Price. The Company may, from time to time, in its
discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to treasury
acquisitions or direct that such common shares be purchased in
market acquisitions at the prevailing market price, any of which
would be publicly announced. Participation in the DRIP is optional.
The DRIP and enrollment forms are available on the Company's
website at www.franco-nevada.com. Canadian and U.S. registered
shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online through the plan
agent's self-service web portal at
www.investorcentre.com/franco-nevada. Canadian and U.S. beneficial
shareholders should contact their financial intermediary to arrange
enrollment. Non-Canadian and non-U.S. shareholders may potentially
participate in the DRIP, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. Non-Canadian and non-U.S. shareholders should contact
the Company to determine whether they satisfy the necessary
conditions to participate in the DRIP.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of
an offer for securities. A registration statement relating to the
DRIP has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and may be obtained under the Company's profile on the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's website at
www.sec.gov.
