FNV: TSX | NYSE 11 Making Responsible Investments Ongoing Asset Management When negotiating new investments, we endeavour to negotiate such arrangements such that the operator, as appropriate, commits to implement the RGMPs, and to provide us with information from our operators as well as to mitigate risk, including ESG-related risk. Royalty and stream agreements differ in many respects, but typically include the following types of provisions: Reporting Obligations: Our royalty and streaming agreements typically contain a series of reporting obligations including the delivery of monthly and annual reports, updated mine plans, forecasts and other documentation, which serve to keep us informed of operations. Operators are also typically required to notify us of any material adverse changes to a project or its operations. Upon a material adverse change occurring, we maintain regular communication and offer our guidance and expertise to the operators where appropriate. These reporting obligations keep us informed of ESG-related issues when they arise. Audit & Inspection Rights: We are usually entitled to audit the books and records of the operators on a periodic basis and may access and inspect the properties comprising the project. These rights provide us further insight into the operations and management by the operators. These provisions permit us to confirm compliance with the terms of the agreement, including with covenants to comply with international tailings standards, and with applicable laws, including environmental laws and ESG-related industry standards. Operating Covenants: Given our business model, following our initial acquisition of royalties or streams, we are not involved in our operators’ development and operation of the applicable projects. However, our royalty and streaming agreements typically contain certain operating covenants designed to ensure that operators are conducting operations in accordance with applicable law and responsible practices, including ESG-related standards such as the RGMPs and ICMM, CIM or TSM mining principles. Transfer Restrictions: Our royalty and streaming agreements may have restrictions that either (a) require our consent for the operator to transfer the project, or (b) otherwise establish the circumstances in which such transfer is permissible. Such constraints are intended to ensure we continue to be partnered with a quality operator over the life of the agreement and a responsible actor when it comes to ESG-related issues. Security & Remedies: Streaming agreements afford us the ability to terminate and recover specific remedies upon a material breach of the contractual provisions providing us with the flexibility to exit unsuitable arrangements. In some instances, we have security arrangements in respect of our royalty and stream interests (including share, pledges, account pledges, mortgages and corporate guarantees), which would enable us to exert influence in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or other event of a default. Such arrangements provide additional protections to help address material ESG risks. “When negotiating new investments, we endeavour to negotiate such arrangements such that the operator, as appropriate, commits to implement the RGMPs, and to provide us with information from our operators as well as to mitigate risk, including ESG-related risk.”
