renewable energy royalty-based financing, is pleased to announce a
marketed, best efforts, public offering of Series 3 secured green

gross proceeds of up to C$20,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Green

of royalty and loan investments.
The Offering is RE Royalties third green bond financing,
following its 2020 inaugural Series 1 offering of $10.2 million principal amount of green bonds and
2021 Series 2 offering of $5.2
million and US$4.0 million
principal amount of green bonds. This third offering of Green Bonds
will be designated as Series 3, and the Green Bonds will be issued
under a supplemental trust indenture to the Company's existing
green bond trust indenture dated August 10,
2020 with Western Pacific Trust Company, as trustee. A copy
of the trust indenture and supplemental indenture will be available
on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
In connection with the Offering, the Company intends to enter
into an agency agreement with the Agents (the "Agency
Agreement"). The Agency Agreement will provide, among other
things, that the Company grants the Agents an option, exercisable
in whole or in part at any time until the date that is 30 days
after the closing of the Offering, to market for sale up to an
additional 3,000 Green Bonds on the same terms as the Green Bonds
sold under the Offering (the "Over-Allotment Option").
The Offering is expected to be conducted in each of the
provinces of Canada (other than
Quebec) by way of prospectus
supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's
short form base shelf prospectus dated June
17, 2021. The Prospectus Supplement is expected to be filed
with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory
authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except Quebec.
Net proceeds from the Offering will be utilized to acquire
revenue-based royalties and/or provide loans to privately held and
publicly traded renewable energy companies. The Company has

International Capital Market Association Green Bond Principles
(2018), which framework is available on the Company's website,
