Scope of the NCIB Authorization

Under the terms of the renewed NCIB, Triple Flag is authorized to repurchase up to 10,071,642 of its common shares, equating to approximately 5% of the company’s total outstanding shares. This approval signifies the company’s flexibility in managing its share capital and adjusting its financial strategy to strengthen stockholder positions within the competitive metals market.

In the previous cycle, Triple Flag repurchased 582,800 shares, with the majority of transactions occurring on the Toronto Stock Exchange at an average price of C$18.27 per share. A smaller portion was repurchased on the New York Stock Exchange, where the average repurchase price was US$13.51 per share. This selective repurchase approach underscores the company’s calculated strategy within the context of market valuations and price performance.

Automatic Share Purchase Plan for Consistent Activity

To support the seamless execution of the NCIB, Triple Flag has introduced an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) set to take effect on January 1, 2025. The ASPP enables the company to carry out share repurchases even during blackout periods when trading might typically be restricted. Such an arrangement allows Triple Flag to maintain its share repurchase momentum regardless of scheduled earnings releases or other sensitive periods, thus aligning with its broader corporate strategy.

Enhancing Flexibility in Financial Strategy

The renewed NCIB aligns with Triple Flag’s broader approach to navigating the metals sector’s cyclical nature. By maintaining control over share volume, the company seeks to balance shareholder interests and financial strategy, avoiding any unnecessary dependence on external market movements.
