Distribution of the Consideration Shares by Lundin Gold

As detailed in its May 28, 2026 press release, and in accordance with the terms of the FDN Transaction, Lundin Gold has declared a special dividend-in-kind to distribute all of the Consideration Shares to eligible Lundin Gold shareholders (the "Dividend"). The Consideration Shares will not be distributed to Lundin Gold shareholders in the United States or in any other jurisdiction where such distribution would be restricted or prohibited by applicable law or where the distribution would require the filing of a prospectus, registration statement or similar document by either Lundin Gold or LunR (the "Ineligible Shareholders"). Instead, the Consideration Shares that would otherwise be distributed to the Ineligible Shareholders will be sold in accordance with applicable procedures, and such shareholders will receive a cash payment equal to the net proceeds of such sale, less applicable taxes.

The Dividend will be payable in Consideration Shares on June 11, 2026, to Lundin Gold shareholders of record at the close of business on June 4, 2026 (the "Dividend Record Date"). The cash payment in lieu of Consideration Shares to the Ineligible Shareholders will be payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the sale of such Ineligible Shareholders' Consideration Shares by intermediaries and brokers, as applicable.

As part of the TSXV approval of the FDN Transaction, the Corporation is required to provide confirmation to the TSXV that (i) the Consideration Shares have been distributed to the Lundin Gold shareholders by way of the Dividend, and (ii) Lundin Gold does not hold any common shares of the Company after the twelfth trading day on the TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm following closing of the FDN Transaction.

Important Information to Holders of Lundin Gold Shares Registered with Euroclear Sweden

Shareholders of Lundin Gold who hold their Lundin Gold shares through Euroclear Sweden AB ("Euroclear Sweden") on the Dividend Record Date (the "Lundin Gold Euroclear Holders") will not receive Consideration Shares directly. To facilitate distribution to this group, LunR and Lundin Gold have arranged for a Swedish depositary receipt ("SDR") program through Pareto Securities AB (the "Custodian").

Under the SDR program, the Consideration Shares that would otherwise be distributable to the Lundin Gold Euroclear Holders will be deposited, net of applicable taxes, with the Custodian (the "Deposited Shares"). In lieu of receiving the Deposited Shares, Lundin Gold Euroclear Holders whose Lundin Gold shares are registered with Euroclear Sweden on the SDR Record Date (as defined below) will receive one (1) SDR for each Deposited Share on a pro rata basis under the SDR program, with each SDR entitling the holder thereof to receive one (1) Deposited Share. No fractional SDRs will be payable as part of the Dividend. 

SDRs may be exchanged for the Deposited Shares at no cost to the holder during the six-month period following issuance, after which any remaining SDRs will be cancelled and the Deposited Shares will be re-registered directly on the LunR share register maintained by LunR's Canadian transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in the names of the applicable holders. 

The record date for the distribution of SDRs (the "SDR Record Date") is expected to be announced the week of June 15, 2026, with delivery of SDRs to Lundin Gold Euroclear Holders expected to occur in late June. More information about the SDR program, including the confirmed SDR Record Date, will be published on www.lunrroyalties.com/investors/sdr-information at least five (5) business days in advance of the SDR Record Date.

Delisting from TSXV and Additional Details on the TSX Graduation

In connection with the graduation to the TSX, the Company's common shares will be delisted from the TSXV. Shareholders are not required to exchange their share certificates or take any other action in connection with the TSX listing, as there will be no change in the trading symbol or CUSIP for the common shares.
