Terra Capital increases its position in Empress Royalty

Jeremy Bond commented on the reason for Terra Capital increasing its shareholding in Empress: “Since its inception less than one year ago Empress has developed a unique business strategy and transformed itself through the creation of three new royalties and streams on development stage projects.  As Empress continues to deliver and execute on its growth plans by including producing assets in its portfolio, I expect its shares to re-rate materially.”

Prior to the acquisition, Terra Capital owned or controlled 13,883,461 common shares of the Company representing 13.28% of the issued and outstanding shares and 14.1% assuming the exercise of 1,000,000 share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) held by Terra Capital.  After the market acquisition of 500,000 common shares Terra Capital now owns or controls 14,383,461 common share of the Company representing 13.75% of the outstanding common shares and 14.57% assuming the exercise the Warrants, reflecting an increase of 0.5% of the 104,574,385 issued and outstanding common shares of Empress.

Terra Capital has a long-term view of the investment and may acquire additional securities either on the open market or through private acquisitions or sell the securities either on the open market or through private dispositions in the future depending on market conditions, reformulation of plans and/or other relevant factors.  A copy of the early warning report required to be filed with the applicable securities commissions in connection with Terra Capital’s total position will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
