The Arrangement and Meeting Details

On September 4, 2025, EMX, Elemental Altus and Acquireco entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which Elemental Altus has agreed to, indirectly through Acquireco, acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EMX (“EMX Shares”) at an exchange ratio of 0.2822 Elemental Altus common shares (each, an “Elemental Altus Share”)  for each EMX Share (the “Exchange Ratio”). Optionholders will receive replacement options of EMX, being exercisable to purchase from Elemental Altus a number of Elemental Altus Shares adjusted as to the number by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Elemental Altus Shares) and as to exercise price by the inverse of the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). At the Meeting, Securityholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) to approve the Arrangement under Part 9, Division 5 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

EMX will hold the Meeting on November 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) at the offices of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP at Suite 2200, RBC Place, 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8.

Only Securityholders who are present in person and entitled to vote at the Meeting are able to vote during the Meeting. Any Securityholder attending the Meeting via the live webcast will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

Interim Order

The Company is pleased to announce that the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “Court”) has granted an interim order (the “Interim Order”) regarding the Arrangement which authorizes EMX to proceed with the Meeting and addresses other Meeting-related matters. A copy of the Interim Order is included in the Circular. Subject to receipt of the requisite approvals by Securityholders at the Meeting, it is expected that EMX will apply for a final order of the Court approving the Arrangement on November 7, 2025.

Reasons for the Arrangement and Board Recommendation

• Top Quality, Globally Diversified Portfolio. The combined company will create a peer-leading revenue generating royalty company with combined revenue guidance of US$70 million in 2025 and analyst consensus revenue of US$80 million in 2026¹, underpinned by strong growth visibility. 
• Meaningful Scale. The combined company results in a larger, well capitalized entity with a lower cost of capital, positioned to pursue further accretive royalty opportunities in the market. 
• Future Growth. The combined company is expected to benefit from complementary management expertise, uniting Elemental Altus’ proven track record of accretive royalty acquisitions with EMX’s disciplined royalty generation and acquisition capabilities. 
• Support of Directors, Officers and Shareholders. The boards of directors of each of EMX and Elemental Altus (subject to abstentions where legally required) and the special committee of the board of directors of EMX have unanimously recommended support for the Arrangement. Additionally, the directors and senior officers and certain shareholders of each of EMX and Elemental Altus have entered into voting and support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting and in favour of certain resolutions at the special meeting of Elemental Altus shareholders to be held on November 4, 2025, as applicable. 
• Negotiated Transaction. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of a comprehensive negotiation process with respect to the key elements of the Arrangement Agreement and plan of arrangement, which includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the board of directors of EMX and the special committee of the board of directors of EMX. The Arrangement provides for a 21.5% premium on the 20 day volume weighted average price to Shareholders as of September 4, 2025 and management of EMX who will be taking on management positions with the combined company, including the CEO and CFO roles.

The Board of Directors (subject to abstentions where legally required) of EMX unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.
