DIV.DB Diversified Royalty Corp

Diversified Royalty Corp. (TSX: DIV; DIV.DB and DIV.DB.A) (the “Corporation” or “DIV”) is pleased to announce that its board of directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.01833 per common share for the period of June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022, which is equal to $0.22 per common share on an annualized basis. The dividend will be paid on June 30, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2022.

Annual General Meeting

The Corporation will be holding its Annual General Meeting of shareholders at 9:00 am (Pacific time) on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 (the “Meeting”). The Meeting will be held at the offices of Farris LLP, located at the 25th floor of 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Corporation sent the materials for the Meeting using the “notice and access” provisions under applicable Canadian securities laws, which allow the Corporation to provide shareholders with electronic access to the Meeting materials instead of sending a paper copy. Notice and Access is more environmentally friendly, as it helps reduce paper and energy use and also reduces printing and mailing costs. Registered and beneficial shareholders will, however, still receive a form of proxy or a voting instruction form in the mail so they can vote their shares. However, unless a shareholder requests a paper copy, rather than receiving a paper copy of the information circular for the Meeting, a shareholder will receive a notice that has instructions on how to access and review an electronic copy of the information circular and how to request a paper copy. The notice also provides instructions on voting the shares using the various different voting methods provided (internet, telephone, mail). If a shareholder would like to receive a paper copy of DIV’s information circular for the meeting, please follow the instructions in the notice.

Access to the Meeting materials were provided to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 19, 2022. Full details with respect to the Meeting and instructions on how to attend and vote are set out in the meeting materials, and were filed under DIV’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and are also available on DIV’s website at https://www.diversifiedroyaltycorp.com/investors/financial-and-regulatory-reports/financial-reports-2022/.
