Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy. Registered Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, are requested to complete, sign, date and return the proxy accompanying this Notice of Meeting in accordance with the instructions set out therein and in the Information Circular.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

May 10, 2024

This Management Information Circular (“Information Circular”) is being furnished to holders (“Shareholders”) of common shares (“Shares”) in the capital of Gold Royalty Corp. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors (the “Board”) and management of the Company for use at the annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held at 8:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on June 11, 2024, at Suite 1830, 1188 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof (the “Meeting”) for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting dated May 10, 2024 (the “Notice of Meeting”), which accompanies and is part of this Information Circular.

The information contained in this Information Circular is given as of May 10, 2024, unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts set forth in this Information Circular are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

VOTING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact, and such solicitation will be made without special compensation granted to the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse Shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining, from the principals of such persons, authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that the Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish this Information Circular and related proxy materials to their customers, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. The Company has engaged Laurel Hill Advisory Group (“Laurel Hill”) to provide shareholder communication advisory and proxy solicitation services and will pay a fee of $50,000 for the services and certain out-of-pocket expenses. All costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Information Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies. If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Information Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Information Circular. This Information Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

Record Date

The Board has set the close of business on May 6, 2024, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining which Shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only Shareholders of record (“Registered Shareholders”) as of the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting.

Quorum and Approval

A quorum of Shareholders is required to transact business at the Meeting. Under the by-laws of the Company (the “By-Laws”), a quorum is one or more persons present and holding or representing by proxy not less than 33 1/3% of the total number of issued Shares having voting rights at the Meeting. We require a simple majority (50% plus 1) of the votes cast at the Meeting to approve all items of business unless otherwise stated.

-1-

Appointment of Proxyholders

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share that such Shareholder held on the Record Date on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting and any other matter to come before the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the “Designated Persons”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company.

A Registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for or on behalf of that Shareholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. A Registered Shareholder may exercise this right by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person, in the blank space provided in the form of proxy.

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company or by our transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, by mail at 301-100 Adelaide Street, West Toronto, Ontario, M5H 4H1, Attention Proxy Department, or online, with your 12-digit control number at www.voteproxyonline.com, by 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on Friday, June 7, 2024, or not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the Board at its discretion without notice.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Registered Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer, or attorney-in-fact, for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders, or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, should accompany the form of proxy.

Revocability of Proxy

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a form of proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a form of proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a form of proxy bearing a later date, executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney-in-fact thereof. The instrument revoking the form of proxy must be deposited at the same address where the original form of proxy was delivered at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of the Meeting but prior to the commencement of the Meeting. A Registered Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy may also revoke it by attending the Meeting in person (or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized representative of the corporation attending the Meeting) and registering with the scrutineer thereat as a Registered Shareholder present in person, whereupon such form of proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked. A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a form of proxy. Non-Registered Holders (as hereinafter defined) who wish to change their vote must, generally at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries (as hereinafter defined) to revoke the form of proxy on their behalf.

Voting of Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space on the form of proxy. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the form of proxy. If the Shareholder specifies a choice in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly.

If no choice is specified in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, the form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to that matter upon the Designated Persons named in the form of proxy. It is intended that the Designated Persons will vote the Shares represented by the form of proxy in favour of each matter identified in the form of proxy, including the vote for the election of the nominees to the Board and for the appointment of the independent auditor of the Company.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Shares on any matter, the Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for the determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

-2-

Voting by Non-Registered Holders

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” Shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. or the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant. The Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders and has posted the Meeting Materials on the Company’s website at www.goldroyalty.com and under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval+ (“SEDAR+”) at www.sedarplus.ca.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company as provided above; or

(b)

more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. The majority of brokers delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to the Non-Registered Holders and asks Non-Registered Holders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Non-Registered Holder who receives a Broadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Shares must be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted. Eligible Non-Registered Holders may be contacted by Laurel Hill to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the phone using Broadridge’s QuickVote™ application.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxyholders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners – those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called OBOs for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called NOBOs for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners). Pursuant to Canadian National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs.

UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

This solicitation of proxies and voting instruction forms involves securities of a company located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate and securities laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure and proxy solicitation requirements under the securities laws of British Columbia, Canada, differ from the disclosure and proxy solicitation requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, some of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

VOTING AND PROXIES: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: Am I entitled to vote?

A: You are entitled to vote if you were a Registered Shareholder as of the close of business on May 6, 2024, which we refer to as the “Record Date”. If you acquire Shares after the close of business on the Record Date, you will not be entitled to vote those Shares at the Meeting.

Each Share entitles the holder to one vote. As at May 6, 2024, there were 145,904,718 Shares issued and outstanding.

Q: What am I voting on?

A: The following matters:

● the election of directors to hold office until next year’s annual general meeting; and

● the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as the Company’s auditor for the ensuing year, at a remuneration to be fixed by the directors.

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a Registered Shareholder, you may vote by: (1) attending the Meeting in person and voting; (2) voting your proxy in accordance with the instructions provided in the form of proxy, including via mail or online; or (3) completing and signing a form of proxy appointing someone to represent you and to vote your Shares at the Meeting. Completing, signing and returning a form of proxy will not prevent you from attending the Meeting in person.

Q: What if amendments are made to these matters or if other matters are brought before the Meeting?

A: If you attend the Meeting in person and are eligible to vote, you may vote on such matters as you choose. If you have completed and returned a proxy in the form enclosed, the person(s) named in it will have discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and to other matters which properly come before the Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the persons so named will vote on it in accordance with their judgment. As of the date of this Information Circular, our management does not know of any such amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meeting.

Q: Who is soliciting my proxy?

A: Our management is soliciting your proxy. Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally by our officers at nominal cost. The Company has also engaged Laurel Hill to provide shareholder communication advisory and proxy solicitation services and will pay a fee of $50,000 for the services and certain out-of-pocket expenses. Shareholders who have questions or need more assistance with voting their shares, may contact Laurel Hill by telephone at 1 (877) 452 7184 toll-free in Canada or 1 (416) 304 0211 for international calls or by e-mail at assistance@laurelhill.com. All costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Q: If I deliver a proxy, who will vote my Shares?

A: David Garofalo (or, failing him, Andrew Gubbels), has been named as the Management Proxyholder in the accompanying proxy and will represent the Shareholders at the Meeting that deliver proxies that do not name a different proxyholder.

You can appoint a person or company other than the Management Proxyholder to represent you at the Meeting. To do so, you must write the name of your chosen proxyholder in the blank space provided in the form of proxy. It is important to ensure that any other person you appoint as proxyholder will attend the Meeting and is aware that his or her appointment has been made to vote your Shares and that he or she should present himself/herself to a representative of TSX Trust Company.

Q: What if my Shares are registered in more than one name or in the name of my company?

A: If your Shares are registered in more than one name, all those registered must sign the form of proxy. If your Shares are registered in the name of your company or any name other than yours, we may require that you provide documentation that proves you are authorized to sign the form of proxy.

-5-

Q: What if I plan to attend the Meeting and vote in person?

A: If you plan to attend the Meeting and wish to vote your Shares in person, you do not need to complete or return a form of proxy. Your vote will be taken and counted at the Meeting. Please register with the scrutineer when you arrive at the Meeting.

Q: What happens when I sign and return a form of proxy?

A: You will have given authority to whoever the proxy appoints as your proxyholder to vote, or withhold from voting, your Shares at the Meeting in accordance with the voting instructions you provide.

Q: What do I do with my completed form of proxy?

A: Return it to TSX Trust Company at the address set out below so that it arrives no later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on Friday, June 7, 2024 or, if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the adjourned or postponed Meeting. The chair of the Meeting has the discretion to accept proxies received after the deadline.

Q: How will my Shares be voted if my proxy is in the enclosed form with no other person named as proxyholder?

A: The Management Proxyholder will vote or withhold from voting your Shares in accordance with your instructions.

In the absence of such instructions, your Shares will be voted FOR the election of the directors nominated by management, and FOR the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as auditor.

Q: Can I revoke a proxy once it has been given?

A: Yes. If you are a Registered Shareholder as of the Record Date, you may revoke your proxy with an instrument in writing (which can be another proxy with a later date) delivered to TSX Trust Company or our registered office, up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting (or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s)), or to the individual chairing the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s). Any written revocation must be duly executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you hold your Shares through a company, by an authorized officer.

Please note that your participation in person in a vote by ballot at the Meeting would automatically revoke any proxy you have given in respect of the item of business covered by that vote.

If you are not a Registered Shareholder, you must follow the instructions given to you by your Intermediary to revoke your voting instructions.

Q: What if I have further questions?

A: You can contact our shareholder communications advisor and proxy solicitation agent, Laurel Hill, at:

Director Commitments

Our Board believes that each of its members should have sufficient time and attention to devote to board duties and to otherwise fulfill the responsibilities required of directors. In assessing whether directors and nominees for director have sufficient time and attention to devote to Board duties, the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and our Board consider, among other things, whether directors may be “overboarded”, which refers to the situation where a director serves on an excessive number of boards.

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have considered the number of outside directorships held by each of the proposed nominees for election as directors at the Meeting.

With respect to specific Nominees, the Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board specifically considered:

● in the case of Mr. Gilman, he is the Chief Executive Officer of QRC and, as part of such role, serves as a director of certain of its publicly traded investees from time to time, including currently NexGen Energy Ltd. and the Company. QRC also owns 641,381 Shares and $30 million in principal amount of Convertible Debentures convertible into up to 15,789,474 Shares. After considering the foregoing and, among other things, Mr. Gilman’s time commitments of such outside directorships, his 100% Board meeting and 92% committee meeting attendance record in 2023 (12 of 13 meetings) and his considerable experience in the areas of capital markets, finance and mining, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board determined that he should be nominated for election at the Meeting. In coming to such determination, the Corporate Governance Committee and the Board also considered the fact that since the Company’s last annual general meeting, Mr. Gilman has reduced his outside directorships by resigning from another public company directorship in April 2024;

● in the case of Angela Johnson, while she currently does not serve as a director of any other public company, she has been nominated for election as a director of Endeavour Silver Corp. at a meeting of such company scheduled for May 28, 2024. In such regard, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Board Ms. Johnson considered, among other things, the nature of her role as Vice President, Corporate Development and Sustainability of Faraday Copper, including that such role is not an officer or “C-Suite” role, her related time commitments, her record of attending 100% of the Company’s Board and committee meetings and her valuable experience in exploration and development, ESG and sustainability and determined that she should be nominated for election at the Meeting; and

-15-

● in the case of Mr. Garofalo, he is a director of GoldMining, which owns approximately 14.76% of the outstanding Shares, and the Company holds royalties over a significant majority of the properties owned and operated by GoldMining. After considering, among other things, the foregoing, the time commitments of such outside directorships, his position as an executive of the Company, Mr. Garofalo’s Board meeting attendance record for 2023 and his considerable experience and track record in the mining sector, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board determined that he should be nominated for election at the Meeting.

In addition, as part of its ongoing shareholder engagement, the Company and members of its Board have had numerous discussions with shareholders since the Company’s annual meeting held in 2023, including holding quarterly investor calls and an annual Investor Day, open to all shareholders to attend and engage with the Company. As part of its review of the existing commitments of directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Board, also considered the feedback from the ongoing shareholder engagement, including that the level of existing director commitments was not raised as a material point of concern amongst shareholders. See “Corporate Governance – Shareholder Engagement”.

This compensation discussion and analysis provides information on our executive compensation programs. It discusses key objectives, policies, elements and designs of our executive compensation program and the considerations and reasons driving the Compensation Committee’s decisions on compensation for our NEOs (as defined hereinafter) for fiscal 2023.

The following information is presented in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations and Form 51-102F6 – Statement of Executive Compensation, and sets forth the total compensation for services in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the individuals comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the other executive officers of the Company, including its subsidiaries, whose individual total compensation for the most recently completed financial year exceeded C$150,000, and any individual who would have satisfied these criteria but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries at the end of the most recently completed financial year (together, the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The objective of the executive compensation philosophy at Gold Royalty is to attract, motivate, retain and reward a knowledgeable and driven management team and to encourage them to attain and exceed performance expectations. The Company’s compensation program is based on a pay-for-performance philosophy in which assessment of performance is based on the Company’s performance as well as individual contributions. The compensation program is designed to reward NEOs based on corporate and individual performance and is also designed to incent such NEOs to drive the organization’s short and long-term growth in a sustainable and prudent manner.

The following key principles guide the Company’s overall compensation philosophy:

● attract, retain, motivate and engage high caliber talent whose expertise, skills and performance are critical to the Company’s success;

● align employee interests with the business and strategic objectives of Gold Royalty;

● focus employees on the key business factors that will drive shareholder value;

● align compensation with Gold Royalty’s corporate strategy and financial interests as well as the long-term interests of Gold Royalty shareholders; and

● compensation should be fair and reasonable to shareholders and be set with reference to the local market and similar positions in comparable companies.

When determining individual compensation levels for the Company’s NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors including the overall financial and operating performance of the Company, each NEO’s individual performance and contributions towards meeting corporate objectives and each NEO’s level of responsibility and length of service. At the end of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews actual performance against corporate objectives. For further information, see the section on page 22 entitled “Short-Term Incentives Program”.

Gold Royalty maintains a compensation peer group to provide competitive market context on pay levels, mix and design practices. The compensation peer group is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to ensure it continues to reflect our size, business and geography. This year, the Compensation Committee positioned base salary levels between the 25^th and 50^th percentile of the compensation peer group, to align with the Company’s compensation philosophy. Our objective is to generally target base salary between the 25^th and 50^th percentile of the compensation peer group, and incentive compensation between the 50^th and 75^th percentile of the compensation peer group. For more information, see the section on page 20 entitled “The Peer Group”.

Elements of Compensation

It is the compensation philosophy of the Company to provide a market-based mix of base salaries, short-term incentives in the form of bonuses, and long term equity incentives. We seek to accomplish our executive compensation objectives through an appropriate mix of fixed and at-risk, variable pay by providing a percentage of our NEOs’ total compensation opportunity in the form of equity compensation and by ensuring that a significant portion of our NEOs’ total pay is in the form of performance-based or at-risk compensation. Generally, senior executives with more ability to directly influence overall business performance have a greater proportion of variable, performance-based pay at risk, and overall compensation provided through long-term incentives and equity incentive programs.

-17-

For fiscal 2023, our compensation consisted primarily of the following components:

● annual base salary;

● short-term incentives;

● long-term equity incentives under our LTIP, as appropriate; and

● employee benefits, as appropriate.

Each element of compensation is discussed in more detail below.

Annual and Short-Term Compensation

Base Salary

Base salary is a fixed element of compensation of an NEO’s annual compensation and is used to determine other elements of compensation such as incentive award levels and benefits. They are determined by each NEO’s experience, expertise, performance and expected contribution to Gold Royalty with reference to relevant industry studies and market data. Salaries are generally targeted at the median of the compensation peer group, and as a result, salaries may be increased as required based on overall responsibilities, individual contribution and any increase in the employee’s role within Gold Royalty or based on changes in the overall marketplace.

Short-Term Incentive Program

The short-term incentives component of the Company’s compensation program (“STIP”) is a variable component of the compensation program intended to reward eligible employees for achieving annual corporate performance against stated objectives and an employee’s individual progress which aid in achieving long-term value for the Company. STIP opportunity levels will vary by employee level, role and responsibilities, but will also be reflective of market practice for organizations of similar size, scope and complexity.

Performance measures and targets for STIPs are both quantitative and qualitative in nature with performance measured based on corporate and individual progress performance measures. To ensure a pay-for-performance culture and affordability to Gold Royalty, STIP payments will only be made if certain minimum performance levels and progress review results are achieved. For more information, see the section on page 22 titled “Short-Term Incentives Program”.

Long-Term Compensation

Long Term Incentive Plan

LTIP compensation is a variable component of compensation intended to reward NEOs for their success in achieving sustained, long-term profitability and increases in stock value. Long-term compensation is awarded pursuant to the Company’s LTIP. For more information, see the section on page 36 titled “Long-Term Incentive Plan”. Long-term compensation was granted to the NEOs in the form of restricted share units (“RSUs”) during fiscal 2023.

The LTIP’s objective is to drive and reward long-term shareholder value creation and to retain executives. Awards under the LTIP are generally based upon the long-term financial and operating expectations of the Board and management and the contribution an executive officer is expected to make in the future in achieving such expectations. Typically, the Compensation Committee will grant awards at the beginning of each year for the applicable year. LTIP awards are generally granted in the form of Options and RSUs.

Options are intended to assist Gold Royalty in attracting critical talent to drive shareholder value over the long run. Options are granted according to the specific level of responsibility of the particular employee, and the number of Options for each level of responsibility is determined by the Compensation Committee. Consideration is made to historical grants made to the employee and the number of Options outstanding when determining whether future grants should be made. Option awards seek to align the interests of management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders through possible increases in the value of the Shares over time and longer-term vesting schedules. Option vesting schedules are reviewed and established by the Compensation Committee and the Board at the time of each respective grant.

Time and performance-based Options and RSUs are a variable component of compensation designed to reward the Company’s NEOs for maximizing operating performance, while concurrently rewarding the Company’s NEOs for their success in achieving sustained, long-term shareholder value.

-18-

Employee Benefits

The primary purpose of providing benefits to employees is to attract and retain key talent and personnel required to operate and manage the Company in an effective and successful manner. Gold Royalty executives generally participate in the same broad-based health insurance and benefit plans made available to other employees in Canada. In general, benefits are not intended to make up a large portion of an executive’s total compensation package, as the philosophy of Gold Royalty is to reward executives primarily through a performance-driven total compensation package.

2023 Compensation Rationale

In determining and reviewing compensation outcomes for fiscal 2023 and long-term incentive awards, the Company’s Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the Company’s relative share price performance and market conditions. As a result, the Compensation Committee and the Board adopted the following measures to better reflect the then-current share price:

● actual short-term incentive awards were satisfied for NEOs through the issuance of RSUs in lieu of cash based on a price equal to an approximately 30% premium to the then current trading price of the Shares. These RSUs vest annually over three years, on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the issuance date;

● adjusted the Company’s compensation peer group for reviewing 2023 compensation results and for 2024 to better reflect the Company’s share price and market capitalization;

● in determining 2024 compensation for NEOs, leaving base salaries unchanged for all NEOs other than the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In the case of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, base salary was adjusted to bring such individual’s total compensation in line with the 50th percentile of the compensation peer group;

● no stock options were granted as part of long-term incentive compensation to NEOs in 2023, and only RSUs were utilized for the Company’s long-term incentive component for such individuals, with RSUs awards priced at an approximate 30% premium to the trading price of the Shares at the time of issuance; and

● attributed 0% to the share price performance measure for determining 2023 short-term incentive results, with an overall payout of 55% of target for 2023.

Similarly, non-employee director long-term incentive awards for the 2024 fiscal year, granted in December 2023, were priced at an approximate 30% premium to the then-current market price of the Shares.

The Peer Group

The Compensation Committee believes that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels comparable to similar companies. Accordingly, the Company maintains a compensation peer group to provide competitive market context on pay levels, mix and design practices. The compensation peer group is reviewed each year by the Compensation Committee to ensure it continues to appropriately reflect our size, operation and geography.

The compensation peer group is developed based on companies that meet the following criteria:

● companies of a similar size to Gold Royalty (0.2 to 3 times), primarily from a total revenue perspective, but also considering other factors such as market capitalization;

● companies who belong to similar industry segments as Gold Royalty (i.e. mining, royalty and streaming related segments);

● companies with a similar business strategy and scope of operations to Gold Royalty; and

● publicly traded companies on major Canadian and American exchanges.

The approach used in selecting an appropriate compensation peer group ensures that NEOs are being benchmarked against positions that require similar skill sets and experiences.

-19-

As a result of the above listed parameters, the Compensation Committee utilized the following compensation peer group for the purposes of initially benchmarking and determining salaries and the components and design of short term incentive grants in respect of the 2023 fiscal year (the “Prior Peer Group”).

●	Altius Minerals Corp.	●	Maverix Metals Inc.	●	Sandstorm Gold Ltd
●	EMX Royalty Corp.	●	Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd.	●	Triple Flag Precious Metals Group
●	Gold Resource Corp.	●	Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd	●	Vox Royalty Corp
●	Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp	●	Perpetua Resources Corp.

Subsequently, in 2023, the Company commissioned a peer group review from Global Governance Advisors (“GGA”) as part of a competitive compensation market update review of executive and director compensation in order to stay abreast of changes in the external market and to ensure that the Company continued to benchmark executive compensation with appropriate market comparators. As a result, to better reflect the size and market capitalization of the Company during fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee adjusted the Company’s compensation peer group to the following (the “Current Peer Group”):

●	Altius Minerals Corp.	●	EMX Royalty Corp.	●	Nova Royalty Corp.
●	Aris Mining Corp.	●	Gold Resource Corp.	●	Orogen Royalties Inc.
●	Calibre Mining Corp.	●	Lithium Royalty Corp.	●	Perpetua Resources Corp.
●	Elemental Altus Royalties Corp.	●	Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd.	●	Vox Royalty Corp.

Compared to the Prior Peer Group, the following companies were removed from or added to the Current Peer Group:

Removed from the Prior Peer Group		Added to the Current Peer Group
●	Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corp.	●	Aris Mining Corp.
●	Maverix Metals Inc.(1)	●	Calibre Mining Corp.
●	Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd.	●	Elemental Altus Royalties Corp.
●	Sandstorm Gold Ltd.	●	Nova Royalty Corp.
●	Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp.	●	Lithium Royalty Corp.
			Orogen Royalties Inc.

Note:

(1) No longer publicly traded.

The Current Peer Group was utilized in the evaluation of compensation results for fiscal 2023 and the benchmarks of total compensation and long-term incentives for fiscal 2023. The Current Peer Group was also utilized to benchmark and determine salaries, short-term incentives and other elements of the compensation mix for 2024.

Positioning Relative to Peer Group

Gold Royalty considers the compensation peer group’s compensation, size, structure, operational scope and geography when arriving at the appropriate NEO compensation levels and structure.

In arriving at a targeted total compensation package for fiscal 2023, the Compensation Committee generally recommended to the Board that NEOs receive (i) base salaries that are typically targeted between the 25^th to 50^th percentile of the compensation peer group, and (ii) long-term incentive and bonus compensation that are typically targeted between the 50^th to 75^th percentile of the compensation peer group, with the 75^th percentile for cases of superior performance.

-20-

Target Pay Mix

Our compensation programs include a mix of fixed and at-risk pay, awarded as a combination of cash and equity-based compensation. The majority of our NEO’s target compensation is variable at-risk pay that is dependent on performance relative to Board-approved goals and metrics, as well as Share price performance.

The Company places a greater emphasis on long-term, at-risk, share-based compensation with such compensation in fiscal 2023 comprising 41% of targeted total compensation for the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and 38% of targeted total compensation for our other NEOs.

Short-Term Incentives Program

STIP awards are a variable, at-risk component of compensation and have the objective of motivating the executive officers to achieve corporate objectives over a one-year period. Our NEOs participate in the STIP, which rewards NEOs for performance based upon the achievement of pre-determined corporate-wide financial and strategic performance measures.

STIP performance measures, weightings and targets are determined on an annual basis based on the business strategy and operating plans of the Company. Performance objectives are typically a blend of quantitative and qualitative measures. The STIP focuses on the achievement of corporate performance.

STIP targets are expressed as a percentage of base salary, with actual payouts based on a performance multiplier dependent on corporate performance. The Compensation Committee has established target awards for each of the executive officers based on a percentage of their base salaries (each, a “Target Award”). The performance multiplier achieved can range between 0% and 150% of target. The Compensation Committee considers the breadth, scope and complexity of each executive officer’s role, internal equity and whether the executive officer’s incentive compensation is competitive relative to similarly situated executives in the Company’s compensation peer group to determine Target Awards.

Below is an illustrative STIP payment formula.

Target STIP Payments and Performance Weighting

The table below outlines NEO STIP targets for 2023 expressed as a percentage of base salary along with the corresponding corporate performance weightings. These weightings vary across the Company, with corporate performance having a higher weighting for more senior employees and executives.

	Annual Base Salary (C$’000s)	STIP Opportunity (% of Base Salary)	Total Cash (C$’000s)	LTIP Opportunity (% of Base Salary)	Total Direct (C$’000s)	Total Direct Position Relative to Peer
Named Executive Officer	Target	Target	Target	Target	Target	Group
David Garofalo Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President	550	80	990	125	1,677	50th-75th percentile
Andrew Gubbels Chief Financial Officer	280	60	448	100	728	25th-50th percentile
John Griffith Chief Development Officer	320	60	512	100	832	50th-75th percentile
Samuel Mah Vice President, Evaluations	280	60	448	100	728	25th-50th percentile

Anticipated Changes to Compensation Policies and Practices for 2024

The target total direct compensation of the NEOs for the financial year ending December 31, 2024 is set forth below:

		STIP Target
Named Executive Officer	Annual Base Salary (C$’000s)	Opportunity (% of Base Salary)	Total Cash (C$’000s)	Target LTIP Grant (% of Base Salary)	Total Target Direct Compensation (C$’000s)	Total Direct Position Relative to Peer Group
David Garofalo Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President	550	80	990	125	1,677	25th-50th percentile
Andrew Gubbels Chief Financial Officer	320	60	512	100	832	25th-50th percentile
John Griffith Chief Development Officer	320	60	512	100	832	20th-50th percentile
Samuel Mah Vice President, Evaluations	280	60	448	100	728	50th-75th percentile

For 2024, annual base salaries for all NEOs, other than the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, are unchanged from 2023.

Additionally, the corporate performance scorecard for 2024 will reflect a rebalancing to further emphasize share price and financial performance, with the following weightings for performance measures: (i) asset portfolio growth, weighted at 25% (down 5 points from 2023); (ii) financial performance, weighted at 15% (up 10 points from 2023); (iii) share price performance, weighted at 15% (up 5 points from 2023); (iv) increased market profile, weighted at 15% (unchanged); (v) debt or equity financings, weighted at 20% (down 5 points from 2023); and (vi) ESG and organizational development, weighted at 10% (down 5 points from 2023).

Corporate Performance Scorecard

The Board, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, adopts a performance scorecard that sets out key performance criteria to guide and motivate executives to execute on our strategy. At the end of the year, the Compensation Committee assesses actual performance against each criterion, and recommends to the Board an aggregate corporate performance score between 0% to 150% of target. The Board may, in its sole discretion, exercise its informed judgment in making final executive compensation decisions and adjust the calculated performance score, as appropriate, to better reflect performance.

The performance criteria are selected to align with our strategic direction and is based on six key performance categories critical to Gold Royalty’s success in delivering shareholder value, which are assessed against specific and measurable key performance indicators.

The Compensation Committee selected key performance indicators within a balanced scorecard and, subsequent to the financial year ended December 31, 2023, evaluated corporate performance achieved against the scorecard. Upon this review, the Compensation Committee and Board determined to award each of the executive officers a payout equivalent to 55.0% of their Target Award. The payout opportunity for each of the executive officers was capped at 55.0% of their Target Award.

Actual STIP Payments and Performance Weighting

The STIP awards paid to our NEOs for the financial year ended December 31, 2023, were as follows:

			2023 STIP Target								2023
Named Executive Officer	Base Salary (C$’000s)		% of Base Salary			C$’000s		Performance Corporate			STIP Payout (C$’000s)		% of Base Salary
David Garofalo Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President		550		80	%		440		55	%		236		43	%
Andrew Gubbels Chief Financial Officer		280		60	%		168		55	%		102		36	%
John Griffith Chief Development Officer		320		60	%		192		55	%		152		48	%
Samuel Mah Vice President, Evaluations		280		60	%		168		55	%		98		35	%

To reflect the Company’s share price, the Compensation Committee and Board determined to satisfy the 2023 STIP awards by issuing RSUs in lieu of cash awards, based upon a 30% premium to the then-current market price and vesting annually over three years. See “- 2023 Compensation Rationale” for further information.

The Compensation Committee selected the following key performance indicators on the belief that these performance indicators were aligned with our corporate strategy and could be impacted by our executives.

Asset Portfolio Growth: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that the acquisition of assets and companies that increase various per share metrics, including attributable gold equivalent ounce production, attributable reserves and resources, cash flow, total assets and organic growth from existing assets is an important objective of our strategy and measure of growth and performance. The result was a target payout of 50%. As of December 31, 2023, accretive portfolio growth on a per share basis with a focus on near term cash flow; continued organic growth with key development stage assets close to production and over 600,000 meters drilled across the portfolio; royalty assets increased from 204, at the beginning of fiscal 2023, to 240 after acquiring a royalty on the Borborema Gold Project, Cozamin Copper-Silver Mine and acquiring a portfolio of royalties in Quebec from SOQUEM.

-23-

Financial Performance: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that maintaining low G&A costs is a good measurement of administrative cost control, which ultimately works to the benefit of shareholders. The Company achieved a significant decrease in general and administrative and Cash Operating Expenses in fiscal 2023, resulting in a threshold payout of 100%. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Share Price Performance: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that demonstrating superior returns aligns with shareholder interests and is a strong indicator of long-term performance. This target was not met for the applicable year.

Increase Market Profile: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that improving trading liquidity over time and broadening equity research coverage is important to our shareholders. The result was a target payout of 50%. For the year ended December 31, 2023, based on enhanced analyst coverage and the completion of the Convertible Debenture financing in 2023, which added two strategic stakeholders, QRC and Taurus Mining Royalty Fund L.P.

Debt or Financing: The Compensation Committee selected this metric based on the belief that securing financing was significant for implementing the Company’s growth and acquisition strategy. The result was a target payout of 50%. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company: (a) expanded its existing credit facility to $35 million; and (b) raised capital for acquisitions through completion of its $40 million Convertible Debenture private placement, minimizing equity dilution in a challenging equity market.

ESG & Organizational Development: The Compensation Committee selected this metric to support the Company’s commitment to strong leadership and to adopt best practice governance structures. The result was a target payout of 100%. During the year ended December 31, 2023: (a) the Company hired Mr. Andrew Gubbels as Chief Financial Officer who established a new financial planning and analysis function and cost management processes for the Company, and a Manager of Technical Services, to support due diligence; (b) female representation on the Board increased to two female directors; (c) the Company completed a reorganization of its Quebec operations, which supported cost reduction initiatives; (d) the Company published its inaugural ESG Report and Asset Handbook; and (e) the Company incorporated an ESG component into its Borborema gold-linked loan and asset acquisition transaction.

Compensation Consultants

The Company retained GGA as independent compensation consultants for the financial years ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2023, to assist in determining compensation for the Company’s directors and NEOs. GGA’s mandate included providing advice on the competitiveness and appropriateness of Gold Royalty’s compensation program for its NEOs and members of the Board, as required. In 2023, GGA provided the following services to Gold Royalty:

● reviewed proxy for 2023 annual general meeting;

● reviewed compensation peer group;

● reviewed NEO compensation market competitiveness in terms of structure and pay levels for fiscal 2023; and

● reviewed non-executive director compensation.

The Compensation Committee will agree annually and on an as-needed basis, with input from management and GGA, on the work to be undertaken by the consultant for the Compensation Committee and the fees for such work. GGA reports directly to the Chair of the Compensation Committee.

Executive Compensation Clawback Policy

The Board has amended its existing clawback policy to align with the new listing standards adopted by New York Stock Exchange LLC, as required by Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the Company’s clawback policy, incentive compensation paid by the Company to an executive may be clawed back if such compensation was predicated upon the achievement of financial results based on financial statements that were required to be restated due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement and that noncompliance resulted in overpayment of the incentive compensation. The clawback period is limited to the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the accounting restatement and applies without regard to any fault or misconduct.

Compensation Risk Management

The Company has taken steps to ensure its executive compensation program does not incent inappropriate risks. Some of the risk management initiatives currently employed by the Company are as follows:

● appointing a Compensation Committee comprised of all independent directors to oversee the executive compensation program;

● use of discretion in adjusting any bonus payments up or down as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate and recommends;

● established a capped bonus plan design; and

● the adoption of a clawback policy which allows certain incentive compensation paid by the Company to an executive to be clawed back if such compensation was based on the achievement of financial results that were a result of erroneous data or material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements.

All of Gold Royalty’s executives, employees and directors are subject to Gold Royalty’s insider trading policy, which prohibits trading in Gold Royalty’s securities while in possession of undisclosed material information about Gold Royalty. Under this policy, such individuals are also prohibited from active trading or short-term speculation involving Gold Royalty’s securities, including short sales, puts and calls. Furthermore, Gold Royalty permits executives to trade in its securities only during prescribed trading windows.

Termination and Change of Control

Termination

If an NEO’s employment is terminated for any reason under the applicable employment agreement, the NEO is entitled to the following “Basic Termination Entitlements”: (a) accrued and unpaid Base Salary; (b) any earned but unpaid bonus, provided termination is not for “just cause”; and (c) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses.

In the event of a termination of an NEO’s employment by the Company without “just cause” or by the NEO for “good reason”, the NEO is entitled to receive, in addition to the Basic Termination Entitlements, a “Separation Package” consisting of:

● two times the NEO’s then-current Base Salary and two times the highest of (a) the NEO’s “target” annual bonus, if any, for the fiscal year in which such termination occurs, under an applicable short-term incentive compensation plan or other annual cash bonus plan of the Company; and (b) the average annual bonus actually received by the NEO in respect of the two immediately preceding fiscal years. This entitlement is payable in equal monthly instalments over a 24-month period; and

● the continuation of health benefits, including medical, dental, vision, accident, disability and life insurance, until the earlier of (a) 24 months after the effective date of termination, or (b) the date the NEO becomes eligible for comparable benefits of a subsequent employer.

Change of Control

The employment agreements with members of our management have double trigger “change of control” provisions applicable to each of the NEOs. A “change of control” is defined under the employment agreements with members of our management in a customary manner, and includes:

● direct and indirect acquisitions of more than 50% of the voting securities by third parties (and joint actors);

● amalgamations, arrangements, mergers, reorganizations, consolidations or other similar transactions, where the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to the transactions do not continue to hold at least 50% of the total voting power of the Company’s securities;

● a change of a majority of the Board at any single meeting of shareholders (or by consent resolution), where such change was not previously approved by the Board; and

● sales, leases or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

-31-

If, within 18 months of a “change of control”, the Company terminates the NEO without “just cause” or the NEO terminates his or her employment for “good reason”, then the NEO is entitled to receive, in addition to the Basic Termination Entitlements, a “change of control” payment with generally the same terms as the Separation Package, except that the payment entitlement is payable as a single lump sum payment.

Additionally, notwithstanding the terms of the LTIP or any award agreement, in the event of a “change of control”, and immediately effective on the date of such “change of control”, all unvested options or equity awards will become fully and immediately exercisable.

Director Compensation

The objective of the director compensation philosophy at Gold Royalty is to attract, retain and reward committed and qualified directors and to align their compensation with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Compensation should thus be fair and reasonable, reflecting the time and effort required by a director, and it should also reflect the complexities, risks, skill sets and values associated with directors on the Board. The Board believes that the compensation for directors should be competitive with the compensation paid to directors of comparable companies.

In view of ensuring that the Company provides market competitive compensation opportunities to its non-executive directors, the Board has a new compensation mix for non-executive directors for fiscal 2023. As Gold Royalty continues to grow, the Company’s objective is to move compensation towards the median levels relative to the market, and target non-executive director compensation to between the 25^th percentile and 50^th percentile of the Prior Peer Group.

Effective January 1, 2023, the elements of compensation for non-executive directors included:

● annual cash compensation, comprised of:

○	Board remuneration, delivered in the form of a retainer;
○	committee remuneration for services as a chair of a committee of the Board, delivered in the form of additional retainers;

● deferred compensation, comprised of:

○ equity grants, awarded in the form of Options and RSUs/DSUs; and

● reasonable expenses.

Annual Cash Compensation

The annual cash compensation component of total director compensation consists of a fixed Board retainer and committee chair retainers. The annual fixed Board retainer paid to independent Board members forms the competitive foundation of the Company’s director compensation program. The retainers compensate directors for their role on the Board, and are meant to reflect the typical schedule and workload of a director at Gold Royalty. The Lead Director is compensated at a premium to account for additional responsibilities associated with the role. Committee retainers are paid to committee chairs and serve as additional compensation for the time and expertise required to serve on different committee and in such positions. Directors who are employees receive no additional compensation for their service as directors. The Company’s independent and non-executive directors are reimbursed for travel and other expenses directly related to their activities as directors.

The Company’s independent and non-executive directors receive an annual cash retainer for service on the Board and as Chair of the Board Committees, effective January 1, 2023, as set forth below.

Board Position	Annual Cash Component (C$)
Independent Lead Director	C$	70,000
Board Member	C$	40,000
Chair of the Audit Committee	C$	15,000
Chair of the Compensation Committee	C$	10,000
Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee	C$	10,000
Chair of the Environmental, Social and Governance Committee	C$	10,000

The amounts of the cash portion of the Board retainer has not changed to date in 2024.

-32-

Deferred Compensation

The deferred compensation component of total director compensation consists of equity-based compensation. Equity-based compensation will generally be awarded to a director in the form of Options, RSUs, or DSUs. The inclusion of equity grants as part of the director compensation mix is to attract, retain and motivate high quality performance of directors whose judgment, initiative and effort is largely depended on by the Company for successful conduct of its business. Further, equity-based compensation is intended to encourage and enable directors to acquire and retain equity-based awards in Gold Royalty to further align their efforts with shareholder interests and to build their share ownership in the Company.

The Company’s independent and non-executive directors receive deferred compensation, in the form of an equity component, annually. The amount of this equity component was C$175,000 for the Lead Director and C$150,000 for the other independent and non-executive directors, effective January 1, 2023. Such annual equity component amounts have not changed to date in 2024.

In the financial year ended December 31, 2023, equity compensation was awarded to the Company’s independent and non-executive directors in the form of RSUs, priced at an approximate 30% premium to the then-current market price of the Shares. The RSUs vest as to one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. See “- 2023 Compensation Rationale” for further information.

Notes:

(1)	As at of December 31, 2023, 250,000, 500,000, 100,000 and 100,000 Options at an exercise of $5.00 per share held by Mr. Gilman, Mr. Adnani, Mr. Robertson and Mr. Hair have vested, respectively; 25,020, 17,514, 17,514, 17,514 and 17,514 Options at an exercise price of $4.93 per share held by Mr. Gilman, Mr. Adnani, Mr. Robertson, Mr. Hair and Mr. Mullan have vested, respectively; 17,514 Options at an exercise price of $3.06 per share held by Ms. Howlett have vested; and 922,098 Options at an exercise price of $2.59 per share held by Mr. Adnani have vested. All such vested Options were out-of-the-money.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The maximum number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance under the LTIP is 10% of the number of issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis from time to time. The LTIP is available to directors, key employees, including officers, and consultants of Gold Royalty, as determined by the Board and the Compensation Committee.

Gold Royalty adopted the LTIP on March 7, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), which allows for a variety of equity based awards that provide different types of incentives to be granted to certain of Gold Royalty’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and consultants (in the case of Options, performance share units (“PSUs”) and RSUs) and to Non-Employee Directors (as defined in the LTIP) (in the case of deferred share units (“DSUs”)). Options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs are collectively referred to herein as “Awards”. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the text of the LTIP. The aggregate number of Shares issuable under the LTIP in respect of awards will not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding from time to time.

The LTIP is intended to provide a means whereby Gold Royalty may attract and retain key employees, officers, directors and consultants and motivate them to exercise their best efforts on behalf of Gold Royalty and align their interests with those of its shareholders. The plan is administered by the Board, or if the Board by resolution so decides, the Compensation Committee.

Under the terms of the LTIP, the Board, or if the Board by resolution so decides, the Compensation Committee and/or any member of the Board, may grant Awards to eligible participants, as applicable. Participation in the LTIP is voluntary and, if an eligible participant agrees to participate, the grant of Awards will be evidenced by a grant agreement with each such participant. The interest of any participant in any Award is not assignable or transferable, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, other than a transfer or assignment to a RRIF, RRSP or TFSA, of which the participant is and remains the annuitant, or to a corporation, of which the participant is and remains the sole shareholder, or a transfer or assignment in the event of the death of a participant.

The LTIP provides that appropriate adjustments, if any, will be made by the Board in connection with a reclassification, reorganization or other change of the Shares, share split or consolidation, distribution, merger or amalgamation, in the Shares issuable or amounts payable to preclude a dilution or enlargement of the benefits under the LTIP.

The maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance, in the aggregate, under the LTIP or pursuant to awards under any other established share compensation arrangement, shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding from time to time, provided that no more than 2,000,000 Shares may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the LTIP.

-35-

The maximum number of Shares that may be: (a) issued to insiders of Gold Royalty within any one-year period, and (b) issuable to insiders of Gold Royalty at any time, in each case, under the LTIP alone, or when combined with all of Gold Royalty’s other security-based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 10% of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding from time to time determined on a non-diluted basis. The maximum number of Shares issuable to any one individual under the LTIP alone, or when combined with all of Gold Royalty’s other security-based compensation arrangements, cannot exceed 5% of the aggregate number of Shares issued and outstanding on the applicable grant date.

For the purposes of calculating the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP, any issuance from treasury by Gold Royalty that is issued in reliance upon an exemption under applicable stock exchange rules applicable to share compensation arrangements used as an inducement to person(s) or company(ies) not previously employed by and not previously an insider of Gold Royalty shall not be included. All of the Shares covered by the exercised, cancelled or terminated Awards will automatically become available Shares for the purposes of Awards that may be subsequently granted under the LTIP. As a result, the LTIP is considered an “evergreen” plan.

The aggregate equity value of DSUs that are eligible to be settled in Shares granted to a Non-Employee Director, within a one-year period, pursuant to all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company shall not exceed $150,000.

An Option entitles the participant to acquire Shares from treasury and shall be exercisable during a period established by the Board which shall commence on the date of the grant and shall terminate no later than ten years after the date of the granting of the Option or such shorter period as the Board may determine. The minimum exercise price of an Option will not be less than the closing price of the Shares on the applicable stock exchange on the last trading day before the date such Option is granted. The LTIP will provide that the exercise period shall automatically be extended if the date on which it is scheduled to terminate shall fall during a black-out period. In such cases, the extended exercise period shall terminate 10 business days after the last day of the black-out period. In order to facilitate the payment of the exercise price of Options, the LTIP has a cashless exercise feature pursuant to which a participant may elect to undertake either a broker assisted “cashless exercise” or a “net exercise” subject to the procedures set out in the LTIP, including the consent of the Board, where required. If a participant elects to exercise Options under the “net exercise” procedures, the participant can elect to receive cash or a number of Shares equal to (a) the number of Shares underlying Options multiplied by (b) the market value of the Shares at such date less the exercise price of such Options, (c) divided by the market value of the Shares at such date, subject to acceptance by the Board and provided that satisfactory arrangements have been made to pay any applicable withholding taxes.

All Options granted under the LTIP shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options (as defined in the LTIP) unless the applicable Award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (as defined in the LTIP). No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the LTIP has been approved by the shareholders of Gold Royalty within 12 months following the Effective Date and in a manner intended to comply with applicable shareholder approval requirements.

RSUs, PSUs and DSUs are substantially like “phantom” shares, the implied value of which will rise and fall in value based on the fair market value of the Shares and are redeemable, at the discretion of Gold Royalty, for cash, Shares from treasury or a combination of Shares from treasury and cash. The fair market value of the Shares, on a particular date, is determined based on the closing price for the Shares on the applicable stock exchange for the trading day on which the Shares traded immediately preceding such date. The terms and conditions of grants of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, including the quantity, type of award, grant date, vesting conditions, vesting periods, settlement date and other terms and conditions with respect to these Awards, will be set out in the participant’s grant agreement.

For each PSU awarded under the LTIP, the Board will establish (a) the applicable performance criteria and other vesting conditions, and (b) the period of time in which such performance criteria and other vesting conditions must be met, in order for a participant to be entitled to receive Shares in exchange for his or her PSUs. Subject to the provisions of any award agreement and the provisions of the LTIP, all vested RSUs and PSUs will be settled as soon as practicable following the date on which the Board determines that the performance criteria and/or other vesting conditions with respect to the RSU and/or PSU have been met, but in all cases RSUs and PSUs will be settled prior to (a) three years following the date of grant of the RSU or PSU, if settled by payment of cash equivalent or through purchases by Gold Royalty on the participant’s behalf on the open market, or (b) ten years following the date of grant of the RSU or PSU, if the RSU or PSU will be settled by the issuance of Shares from treasury.

-36-

Eligible Directors may receive all or a portion of their compensation in the form of a grant of DSUs in each fiscal year. The number of DSUs will be calculated as the amount of the Eligible Director’s compensation elected to be paid in DSUs divided by the market value (as defined in the LTIP). Each Eligible Director will be entitled to redeem his or her DSUs during the period commencing on the business day immediately following his or her termination date and ending on the date that is not later than the 90th day following such termination date, or such shorter redemption period as set out in the relevant DSU agreement.

The following table describes the impact of certain events upon the rights of holders of Awards under the LTIP, including termination for cause, resignation, retirement, termination other than for cause, and death or disability, subject to the terms of a participant’s employment agreement, award agreement and the change of control provisions described below:

Event	Provisions
Termination for cause	Immediate forfeiture and termination of all vested and unvested Awards.
Resignation, retirement and termination other than for cause	Options: Forfeiture and termination of all unvested Options and all vested Options shall expire on the earlier of 90 days after the effective date of such resignation, retirement and termination or the expiry date of such Option or such longer period as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. RSUs, PSUs and DSUs: All vested RSUs, PSUs or DSUs granted shall be paid out in accordance with their terms and all unvested RSUs, PSUs or DSUs will terminate on the effective date of such resignation, retirement or termination or such longer period as the Board may determine in its sole discretion.
Death or disability	Options: All unexercised unvested Options will be deemed to have vested immediately on the effective date of such death or disability and all Options shall expire on the earlier of 12 months after the effective date of such death or disability, or the expiry date of such Option or such longer period as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. RSUs, PSUs and DSUs: All unvested RSUs, PSUs or DSUs will be deemed to have vested immediately on the effective date of such death or disability and all RSUs, PSUs or DSUs shall be paid out in accordance with their terms.

Pursuant to the LTIP, when dividends (other than stock dividends) are paid on Shares, participants will receive additional DSUs, RSUs and/or PSUs (“Dividend Share Units”), as applicable, as of the dividend payment date. The number of Dividend Share Units to be granted to a participant will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of DSUs, RSUs and/or PSUs, as applicable, held by the participant on the relevant record date by the amount of the dividend paid by Gold Royalty on each Share, and dividing the result by the market value (as defined in the LTIP) on the dividend payment date. Any Dividend Share Units granted to a participant will be subject to the same vesting conditions and settlement terms as applicable to the related DSUs, RSUs and/or PSUs in accordance with the applicable award agreement.

In connection with a change of control of Gold Royalty, the Board will take such steps as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause the conversion or exchange or replacement of outstanding Awards into, or for, rights or other securities of substantially equivalent (or greater) value in the continuing entity, provided that the Board may accelerate the vesting of Awards if: (a) the required steps to cause the conversion or exchange or replacement of Awards are impossible or impracticable to take or are not being taken by the parties required to take such steps (other than Gold Royalty); or (b) Gold Royalty has entered into an agreement which, if completed, would result in a change of control and the counterparty or counterparties to such agreement require that all outstanding Awards be exercised immediately before the effective time of such transaction or terminated on or after the effective time of such transaction.

-37-

The Board may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the LTIP at any time, or from time to time, amend, revise or discontinue the terms and conditions of the LTIP or of any securities granted under the LTIP and any grant agreement relating thereto, subject to any required regulatory and applicable stock exchange approval, provided that such suspension, termination, amendment, or revision will not adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the LTIP or as required by applicable laws.

The Board may amend the LTIP or any securities granted under the LTIP at any time without the consent of a participant provided that such amendment shall: (a) not materially adversely alter or impair any Award previously granted except as permitted by the terms of the LTIP or upon the consent of the applicable participant(s); and (b) be in compliance with applicable law and with prior approval if required, of the shareholders of Gold Royalty and of any other stock exchange upon which Gold Royalty has applied to lists its shares, provided however that shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments and the Board may make any changes which may include but are not limited to:

● any amendment to the vesting provisions of the LTIP and any Award granted under the LTIP;

● any amendment regarding the provisions governing the effect of termination of a participant’s employment, contract or office;

● any amendment which accelerates the date on which any Award may be exercised under the LTIP;

● any amendment necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of the applicable stock exchange upon which Gold Royalty has applied to list its shares or any other regulatory body;

● any amendment of a “housekeeping” nature, including, without limitation, to clarify the meaning of an existing provision of the LTIP, correct or supplement any provision of the LTIP that is inconsistent with any other provision of the LTIP, correct any grammatical or typographical errors or amend the definitions in the LTIP; or

● any amendment regarding the administration of the LTIP,

provided that the alteration, amendment or variance does not:

● increase the maximum number of Shares issuable under the LTIP, other than an adjustment pursuant to a change in capitalization;

● reduce the exercise price of Awards benefitting including cancellation and reissuance of an Award, except in the case of an adjustment pursuant to a change in capitalization;

● extend the expiration date of an Award, except in the case of an extension due to black-out period;

● remove or exceed the insider participation limits;

● remove or exceed the Non-Employee Director participation limits;

● amend the transfer provisions of the Awards; or

● amend the amendment provisions of the LTIP.

As of the date hereof, the maximum number of Shares available for grant under the LTIP is 14,590,471 of which 9,674,994 are subject to existing Awards.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the LTIP, a copy of which is available under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on Gold Royalty’s website at www.goldroyalty.com.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

See “2023 Corporate Governance at a Glance” on page 9 of this Information Circular for a summary of Gold Royalty’s corporate governance practices in 2023.

The Company has reviewed its corporate governance practices against the requirements of the NYSE American and determined that its corporate governance practices do not differ significantly from those followed by U.S. companies under the NYSE American listing standards for corporate governance.

The following is a description of the Company’s corporate governance practices.

Board of Directors

Independence of the Board

The Board is currently comprised of six directors, of whom five are independent. Each of Warren Gilman, Alan Hair, Ken Robertson, Karri Howlett and Angela Johnson are considered “independent” as provided by National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“National Instrument 52-110”) and the NYSE American corporate governance standards (the “NYSE Governance Rules”). David Garofalo is not considered “independent”. Under the applicable NYSE Governance Rules and National Instrument 52-110, Mr. Garofalo is not considered an independent director by virtue of his position as its President and Chief Executive Officer.

At the Meeting, six directors are being nominated for election, of which five are independent of the Company. Of the directors standing for election at the Meeting, Mr. Garofalo is not considered “independent”, and Messrs. Gilman, Hair, Robertson and Mses. Howlett and Johnson are considered “independent”. If all Nominees are elected at the Meeting, the Board will be comprised of 83.33% “independent” directors under the NYSE Governance Rules.

The independence of the directors is determined in accordance with National Instrument 52-110, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries. A “material relationship” is defined to mean a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment and includes an indirect material relationship. The Company also determines independence of its directors pursuant to the NYSE Governance Rules. The NYSE Governance Rules provides that no director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment.

The Chairman of the Board is not independent. However, the Board has appointed a Lead Director that is independent. The primary focus of the Lead Director is to provide leadership for the independent directors and ensure that the Board’s agenda enables it to successfully carry out its duties. The Lead Director chairs all independent director meetings and reports the results of these meetings to the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The independent directors are also able to meet at any time without members of management and non-independent directors being present, and are required to hold in camera meetings after each regularly scheduled Board meeting. The independent directors discharge their responsibilities for independent oversight of management through their representation on the Board.

Board Chair

Mr. Garofalo was appointed Chair of the Board on August 1, 2020. The Chair’s primary responsibilities include chairing all Board meetings, ensuring that the Board functions effectively, scheduling meetings, setting agendas, scheduling committee meetings, and ensuring that the Board meetings are organized properly. The Chair also ensures that all business required to come before the Board is presented to its members in a timely and appropriate manner.

Independent Lead Director

The Board has appointed Mr. Gilman, an independent member of the Board, as Lead Director. The Lead Director’s primary responsibility is to ensure that the Board functions independently of management and to act as principal liaison between the independent directors and the non-independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer. The Board has developed a mandate for the Lead Director which provides that the Lead Director shall, among other things:

● in consultation with the Chair of Board, review and make recommendations with respect to the agenda for Board meetings;

-40-

● ensure that independent directors have the opportunity to meet separately without non-independent directors and members of management of the Company;

● request in camera sessions of the independent directors; and

● provide leadership for the independent directors and ensure that the Board understands its responsibilities and can work cohesively.

The mandate of the Lead Director sets out the full description of the responsibilities of the Lead Director of the Board and is available at www.goldroyalty.com.

Meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board

The Board meets a minimum of four times a year, once every quarter. The Board meets as many times as necessary to address all current affairs and business. Each committee of the Board meets at least once each year or more frequently as necessary to deal with current business and affairs. The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year.

Independent Directors’ Meetings

During the financial year ended December 31, 2023, the independent directors met five times. The Board may also excuse members of management and non-independent or conflicted directors from all or a part of any meeting where a conflict or potential conflict of interest arises or where otherwise appropriate. The Board has adopted a Board Mandate pursuant to which independent directors will be required to meet after every regularly scheduled Board meeting without the non-independent members and members of management in attendance.

All formal committees of the Board are made up of only independent directors. From time to time, when appropriate, ad hoc committees of the Board may be appointed by the Board.

Board Tenure and Renewal

The Company has not adopted any retirement or term limits for directors serving on the Board. The Company believes that maintaining an appropriate balance of tenure among directors is a part of the Board’s consideration. Longer serving directors bring valuable experience and knowledge with respect to our business and the royalty and streaming industry. Newer directors bring in fresh perspectives and ideas and additional expertise and experience.

While term and age limits could facilitate new viewpoints and ideas being brought to the Board, we believe they are counter-balanced by the disadvantage of losing directors who, over a period of time, have developed unique and specialized insights into our strategic initiatives and business and who provide valuable contributions to Board discussions and assessments. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee regularly reviews and assesses our directors, and uses its discretion in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to refresh the Board as necessary.

Board Mandate

The Board has the primary responsibility of supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company and fostering the short and long-term success of the Company. In discharging its mandate, the Board is responsible for, among other things, the following:

● the strategic planning process of the Company;

● identifying principal risks of the Company’s business, and the implementation of risk management procedures and systems;

● developing the Company’s approach to corporate governance issues and principles practices;

● appointing, training and evaluating senior management and members of the Board;

● providing newly elected directors with an orientation program to educate them on the Company, their roles and responsibilities;

● reviewing and monitoring, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting;

-41-

● ensuring the Company’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and timely disclosure of corporate information and regulatory reporting; and

● reviewing recommendations of the Company’s Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of senior management.

A copy of the Board’s written mandate is available on the Company’s website at www.goldroyalty.com and is attached hereto as Schedule “A”.

Diversity and Inclusion

The Company believes that diverse perspectives enhance its organizational strength, problem solving ability and opportunity for innovation. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that diversity of skill and experience is a critical and valuable consideration in the assessment of the Board, its composition and prospective nominee candidates as well as the composition of its senior management team.

The Company has adopted a written Diversity Policy (the “Diversity Policy”) promoting diversity within the Company and all of its subsidiaries, which encompasses its policy relating to the identification and nomination of: (i) women; (ii) Indigenous peoples; (iii) persons with disabilities; and (iv) members of visible minorities (collectively, “Diversity Groups”) as directors and members of senior management (as defined in the Diversity Policy). The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has the responsibility for the oversight and implementation of this policy.

The Diversity Policy provides that when considering the composition of, and individuals to nominate or hire to, the board of directors and senior management positions, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the board of directors, as applicable, will consider diversity from a number of aspects, including, but not limited to, gender, age, disability, ethnicity and cultural diversity. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee monitors, on an ongoing basis, the implementation and effectiveness of the Diversity Policy, and annually or otherwise when applicable, assesses: (i) the mix of diversity, skill and expertise on the board of directors and in executive officer positions; (ii) measurable objectives set pursuant to the Diversity Policy; and (iii) progress in achieving such measurable objectives. The Company’s Diversity Policy provides that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will report its assessments to the board which, combined with the oversight by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and ongoing monitoring of representation levels, serves to ensure the implementation of the Diversity Policy.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee takes gender, age, disability, ethnicity, cultural diversity, and skill into consideration as part of its overall recruitment and selection process in respect of potential candidates for the board of directors and executive officer positions. Accordingly, when searching for new directors, executive officers, and members of senior management, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the level of representation of the four designated Diversity Groups on the board of directors and among the Company’s executive officers and senior management. This will be achieved by monitoring the level of representation of the four designated Diversity Groups on the Board, and in executive officer and senior management positions. Furthermore, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has made a commitment to the recruitment from Diversity Groups by making the identification of Diversity Group candidates a key search criterion.

Other than as set forth herein, the Company has not adopted a formal target regarding any of the four designated Diversity Groups in director, executive officer or senior management positions. The Company believes that diversity is an important factor when identifying candidates for director, executive officer and senior management positions and, to that end, encourages members of the Diversity Groups to apply for open positions. The Company evaluates diversity as one of a variety of factors when considering a candidate, including their skills, expertise, experience and personal characteristics.

In order to promote and foster Board gender diversity, in 2021, the Board adopted a target to have at least one female director on the Board by the Company’s annual meeting in 2023 and at least 30% of the Board being comprised of female directors by the annual meeting in 2025. Each of these targets have since been achieved, with female directors comprising one-third of its current directors and one-third of the Nominees at the Meeting.

Given the relative age of the Company and the small team of executive officers of the Company, the Board has not adopted a formal target regarding women in executive officer positions. The Company currently has one female executive officer or member of senior management representing 10% of our total executive officers and senior management. The Company currently has two executive officers and members of senior management, who are visible minorities, representing 20% of our total executive officers and senior management. No Indigenous peoples or persons with disabilities currently serve on the Board or hold any executive officer positions within the Company. The Company continues to be committed to ongoing review with respect to the diversity of its directors, executive officers and members of senior management.

Environment, Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

The Board has adopted an ESG and Sustainability Policy which sets out the Company’s commitment to furthering responsible and sustainable mineral development as a means to create long-term value for its stakeholders. The Company does not operate any of the mineral properties which it invests in or provides financing to and does not have the power to control the operations of any such properties. Nonetheless, the Company recognizes the importance of acquiring interests in projects that are operated by companies who share a commitment to responsible resource exploration, development and extraction. A copy of the Company’s ESG and Sustainability Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.goldroyalty.com.

Risk Management

Pursuant to the Board Mandate, the Board is required to ensure that management identifies the principal risks of the Company’s business and implement appropriate systems and procedures to manage such risks. The Board regularly reviews the Company’s goals and strategies with management while taking into account the new opportunities and key risks of the business. On a quarterly basis, the Board receives a risk report which provides insight on risks which may impact Gold Royalty or its operations.

The Company’s business as a gold-focused royalty and streaming company with a diversified portfolio is a long-term strategy that remains constant. Gold Royalty is focused on growing net asset value on a long-term, per share basis. As a company that operates in a highly cyclical business, the Board considers that the most significant risks facing our business vary from time to time depending on the prevailing economic climate and the specific nature of our activities at the relevant time.

The Board from time to time reviews and considers general and specific risks faced by Gold Royalty. The Board closely monitors and analyzes the potential vulnerability of our operations and financial condition in light of risks that arise in respect of our business. Management is tasked with identifying risks and assigning ratings to such risks to assess each risk’s impact, likelihood of occurring, and the effectiveness of current processes to manage and mitigate any such risks.

The Company may be subject to cyber-attacks and other information security breaches from time to time. The Board is responsible for overseeing cyber and data security risks and associated mitigation strategies, and will meet from time to time, or as otherwise deemed necessary, to assess any such risks and to review the Company’s risk management practices. Our risk and exposure to cyber-related issues cannot be fully mitigated as a result of, among other things, the constant evolving nature of these threats. To date, the Company has not experienced any material losses or experienced significant harm relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches. However, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses in the future.

For a full discussion of the risks which may impact our business, please see the risk factors outlined in the Company’s final long form prospectus and related United States prospectus dated March 8, 2021 and other disclosure documents, which are available under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov.

Shareholder Engagement

The Company proactively engages with shareholders and other stakeholders throughout the year to learn their perspectives about the Company and on significant issues. This engagement includes one-on-one meetings and telephone conferences with shareholders, quarterly investor calls and an annual Investor Day, which help the Company engage and have an open dialogue with shareholders and other stakeholders. This engagement helps the Company better understand shareholder priorities and perspectives, gives the Company the opportunity to elaborate on its initiatives with its technical, corporate development and finance personnel, and fosters constructive dialogue with the Company’s shareholders. The Board and the Company’s management value and carefully consider such feedback along with shareholder support and feedback at the Company’s annual meetings, when reviewing the Company’s strategies and business and governance practices.

-43-

Since the Company’s annual meeting in 2023, members of its management and/or Board have met with over 300 shareholders and has hosted quarterly webcasts and an Investor Day presentation that hosted over 450 attendees, who had the opportunity to ask questions and otherwise interact with members of the Company’s management. The Company’s engagement in 2023 also included meeting with institutional and other significant shareholders representing over 30% of the Company’s outstanding Shares. At these meetings, we have discussed, among other things, the Company’s ongoing strategic plan, share price performance, executive compensation, former dividend policy, director commitments and other matters. While the Company appreciates that one director received below the 80% threshold for support at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting, the Company understands this to be based on passive investors adhering to proxy advisory firm policies regarding director commitments. The Company does not believe this to be an issue for shareholders that were actively engaged by it in the year. Moreover, such director has since reduced his other board commitments. See “Election of Directors - Director Commitments” on page 15.

Key responsive items related to shareholder engagement in the last year include:

● the rebalancing of the Company’s STIP corporate performance scorecard for 2024 to further emphasize share price and financial performance. See “Statement of Executive Compensation - Short-Term Incentive Program” for further information;

● the Compensation Committee and Board determining to satisfy 2023 STIP awards to NEOs in Shares issue RSU awards to executives and the Board in December 2023 at an approximate 30% premium to the then-current market price of the Shares; and

● the decision to accelerate the Company’s achievement of its board diversity target from 2025 to the 2024 Meeting.

Position Descriptions

We have written position descriptions for each of the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Development Officer and Lead Director. The descriptions are reviewed and approved by the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

The Company does not maintain a separate written description of the roles of the Chairman or chairs of each of the committees of the Board. However, the Company has developed a mandate for the Lead Director and charters for each of the committees of the Board, all of which are available on the Company’s website at www.goldroyalty.com.

Orientation and Continuing Education

Pursuant to the Board Mandate, the Board will provide newly elected directors with an orientation program to educate them on the Company, their roles and responsibilities on the Board or Board committees, as well as the Company’s internal controls, financial reporting and accounting practices. In addition, directors will, from time to time, as required, receive:

(i)	training to increase their skills and abilities, as it relates to their duties and their responsibilities on the Board; and
(ii)	continuing education about the Company to maintain a current understanding of the Company’s business, including its operations, internal controls, financial reporting and accounting practices.

When a new director is appointed, such director has the opportunity to meet other directors, executives, management and employees of the Company with orientation tailored to the needs and experience of the new director, as well as the overall needs of the Board. New Board members are provided with information respecting the Company and its business and operations.

The Company relies on the advice of its professional advisors to update the knowledge of its Board members in respect of changes in relevant policies and regulations. Each of the directors are also directors of other publicly traded companies and are benefiting from exposure to boards of directors of such companies. New Board members are generally selected on the basis of their breadth of experience with respect to the mining, royalty and streaming industry, having regard to the requirements for appropriate skill sets required by the Company.

As an ongoing process, the Board considers executive and management development (including training and monitoring of senior executives and management) based mainly on periodic reports from the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board also receives, on a regular basis, materials of interest, including analyst reports and industry reports, and reports regarding the Company. Board members are encouraged to communicate with executives, management, auditors and technical consultants to keep themselves current with the business and affairs of the Company and with respect to developments within the mining, royalty and streaming industry. Board members have free and full access to the Company’s records at all times. Board members are also encouraged to attend seminars or conferences of interest and relevance to their position as a director of the Company.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) to assist its employees, officers and directors to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct in corporate affairs and to encourage a culture of honesty, accountability and fair business practice. The Code of Conduct reflects the Company’s commitment to a culture of honesty, integrity and accountability and outlines the basic principles and policies with which everyone at the Company is expected to comply.

The Code of Conduct addresses fair dealing, insider trading, compliance with laws, regulations and rules, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, accepting and giving gifts, public disclosure, shareholder relations, use of the Company’s property, handling of confidential information, safety and health, discrimination and harassment and reporting of violations of the Code of Conduct. Any person subject to the Code of Conduct will be required to disclose interests that may give rise to conflicts of interest. To ensure the directors exercise independent judgement in considering transactions and agreements in which a director or executive officer has a material interest, any such director or executive officer removes himself or herself during any related Board discussions and such director does not cast a vote on any matter in respect of which such director has a material interest. The Code of Conduct also addresses matters concerning public disclosure and provides that communications with the public concerning the Company are full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable, and in accordance with the disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws.

The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the administration of the Code of Conduct, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Company periodically reviews the Code of Conduct The Board monitors compliance with the Code of Conduct by requiring any person subject to the Code of Conduct to report breaches thereof to the attention of the appropriate supervisor or to the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or such other senior officer of the Company as may be designated from time to time. The Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website at www.goldroyalty.com.

Whistleblower Policy

The Company has also adopted a whistleblower policy (the “Whistleblower Policy”) wherein directors, officers and employees of the Company are provided with the mechanics by which they may raise concerns or complaints about the accuracy, fairness or appropriateness of any of the Company’s accounting policies or financial reports including corporate reporting and disclosure, accounting and auditing controls and procedures and any violations of applicable legal and regulatory requirements relating to securities compliance and other matters pertaining to fraud against shareholders of the Company. The Whistleblower Policy provides information regarding who to contact with a complaint or concern and how the Company will respond to a complaint or concern.

A copy of the Whistleblower Policy is available on the Company’s website at www.goldroyalty.com.

Nomination of Directors

Our Board is responsible for approving candidates for Board membership. However, the Board has delegated the screening and recruitment process to our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is tasked with identifying and recruiting new candidates for nomination and recommending appropriate criteria for the selection of nominees. Qualified candidates are those who, in the judgment of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, possess a sufficient mix of experience and personal attributes that would ensure the effectiveness of our Board.

In considering the long-term effectiveness of the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers, among other things:

● the independence of each director;

● the competencies and skills of the Board as a whole;

● the current experience, skills and personal attributes represented by each director;

● diversity of the Board; and

● the strategic direction of the Company.

-45-

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not set specific minimum qualifications for director positions. Rather, nominations for election or re-election to the Board are based on the needs of the Board, as well as a particular candidate’s merits, skills, and needs. In evaluating candidates for nomination for election as directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider an individual’s independence, skills, experience, diversity, personal integrity and judgment, and the ability to devote adequate time to discharge their duties and responsibilities as a Board member. Please see “Director Qualifications and Experience” on page 13 for further discussion regarding each individual director nominee’s particular areas of expertise.

The Board prefers a mix of backgrounds and experiences among its members. The Board does not follow any ratio or formula to determine the appropriate mix, and instead, uses its judgment to identify and determine nominees whose backgrounds, attributes and experiences, taken as a whole, will contribute to high standards of Board service. However, in order to promote and foster gender diversity on the Company’s Board, the Board adopted a target to have at least 30% of the Board being comprised of female directors by the annual meeting in 2025, which target has been met. In order to support the Board in meeting such target, the Board implemented practices that require any search for nominees to the Board to specifically include diverse candidates generally and women candidates in particular.

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a policy which requires that any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “against” from his or her election than votes “for” such election to promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board, to be effective upon acceptance by the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will review the circumstances and, in its discretion, make a recommendation to the Board as to whether or not to accept the tendered resignation. The Board must determine whether or not to accept the tendered resignation as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 90 days of the election. The Board will accept the tendered resignation absent exceptional circumstances and the resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board. The Company will promptly issue a news release with the Board’s decision. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the news releases will state the reasons for that decision. Subject to any corporate law restrictions, the Board may fill any resulting vacancy through the appointment of a new director. The director nominee whose resignation has been tendered may not participate in any committee or Board votes concerning his or her resignation. This policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.

Board Assessments

The Board is committed to regular reviews and assessments of the effectiveness of the Board, the committees of the Board, and individual directors. The Board, the Committees and each director performs an annual self-assessment on its, his or her contribution and effectiveness. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee annually reviews, evaluates and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the Board, the committees and individual directors.

The Board establishes appropriate practices for the regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and its members. Such assessment considers, in the case of the Board or a committee of the Board, its mandate or charter; and, in the case of an individual director, the applicable position description(s), as well as the competencies and skills each individual director is expected to bring to the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommends to the Board any changes that would enhance the performance of the Board based on a variety of assessment criteria. During the financial year ended December 31, 2023, the Board conducted a board effectiveness assessment with regard to each of our Company’s directors. Our Board determined that each of the Company’s directors meets a high standard in terms of meeting attendance, preparation and engagement with the Company. All are highly effective and bring a diverse set of backgrounds and expertise to the Board.

Share Ownership Requirement

Each non-executive director of the Company is required to hold Shares having a value equal to at least three times the amount of the annual cash retainer paid to such directors. The share ownership requirement must be attained within the later of five years of becoming a director of the Company or the date of the adoption of the share ownership policy by the Company.

For information regarding share ownership of the nominees, please see “Election of Directors” on page 10.

Our share ownership policy for our NEOs requires our executive officers to hold Shares having a value equal to at least three times the amount of their base salary. NEOs have five years from the date of the adoption of the policy to achieve the required threshold.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Board and Audit Committee have adopted a Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the “Pre-Approval Policy”), pursuant to which the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (an “independent auditor”) to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent auditor’s independence.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board in respect of filling of vacancies on the Board and as to nominees for the Board. On an annual basis, the Board reviews its strategies to determine the composition of the Board and the appropriate candidates to be put forth for election as directors at annual general meetings. The review takes into account the desirability of maintaining a balance of skills, experience, background and diverse perspectives. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is comprised of Mr. Gilman, Mr. Hair, Ms. Howlett and Ms. Johnson. Each of Mr. Gilman, Mr. Hair, Ms. Howlett and Ms. Johnson are considered independent pursuant to National Instrument 52-110 and the NYSE Governance Rules. Mr. Hair is the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

On an annual basis, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee review Gold Royalty’s strategies to determine the composition of the Board and the appropriate candidates to be nominated for election as directors at annual general meetings. This review takes into account the desirability of maintaining a balance of skills, experience and background. In identifying new candidates for the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers what competencies and skills the Board, as a whole, should possess and assesses what competencies and skills each existing director possesses, considering the Board as a group, and the personality and other qualities of each director, as these may ultimately determine the boardroom dynamic.

It is the responsibility of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to regularly evaluate the overall efficiency of the Board and its Chairman and all board committees and their chairs. As part of its mandate, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee conducts the process for the assessment of the Board, each committee and each director regarding his, her or its effectiveness and contribution, and reports evaluation results to the Board on a regular basis.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board to, among other things, discharge the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s directors and officers. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the adequacy and form of compensation to ensure it realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director or officer and that compensation allows the Company to attract qualified candidates. Such review includes an examination of publicly available data, as well as independent compensation surveys.

The Compensation Committee, among other things, annually reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives and determines the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation level based on this evaluation.
