Important Information for Voting at the Virtual Meeting
Shareholders of companies are either Registered or Non-Registered. Registered Shareholders are those who have their names, and not the names of their broker or other intermediary, on a physical share certificate or direct registration system (DRS) statement. This certificate or statement may be in your possession or lodged at your bank or brokerage firm.
Only Registered Shareholders (and their duly appointed proxyholders) will be able to cast or modify their vote at the virtual Meeting.
Non-Registered Shareholders are those holders who have their share ownership through a broker, nominee or other intermediary. Non-Registered Shareholders are urged to vote and submit proxies or voting instruction forms in advance of the Meeting as they will not have the ability to speak or change their votes during the Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, Morien urges both its Registered and Non-Registered Shareholders to vote and submit their proxies or voting instruction forms in advance of the Meeting by one of the methods described in the Company’s 2022 Management Information Circular found on SEDAR and on the Company’s website here.
Morien recommends that Shareholders call in 20 minutes in advance of the Meeting start time of 2:00 p.m. Atlantic Time on May 17, 2022, to allow ample time to check into the Meeting by telephone and to complete the registration and, if applicable, voting procedures. At the outset of the Meeting, all Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be prompted to speak with Morien’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., if they wish to cast a vote.

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in this news release may constitute "forward-looking information" as defined under applicable securities laws. These statements reflect Morien's current expectations of future revenues and business prospects and opportunities and are based on information currently available to Morien. Morien cautions that actual performance will be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control, and that future events and results may vary substantially from what Morien currently foresees. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties described in documents filed by Morien with the Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) from time to time. Morien cautions that its royalty revenue will be based on production by third party property owners and operators who will be responsible for determining the manner and timing for the properties forming part of Morien’s royalty portfolio. These third party owners and operators are also subject to risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted herein including: volatility in financial markets or general economic conditions; capital requirements and the need for additional financing; fluctuations in the rates of exchange for the currencies of Canada and the United States; prices for commodities including coal and aggregate; unanticipated changes in production, mineral reserves and mineral resources, metallurgical recoveries and/or exploration results; changes in regulations and unpredictable political or economic developments; loss of key personnel; labour disputes; and ineffective title to mineral claims or property. There are other business risks and hazards associated with mineral exploration, development and mining. Although Morien believes that the forward-looking information contained herein is based on reasonable assumptions (including assumptions relating to economic, market and political conditions, the Company’s working capital requirements and the accuracy of information supplied by the operators of the properties in which the Company has a royalty interest), readers cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with such statements. Morien expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information in this news release, whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. All dollar values discussed herein are in Canadian dollars. Any financial outlook or future-oriented financial information in this news release, as defined by applicable securities laws, has been approved by management of Morien as of the date of this news release.
