Royal Gold Announces Voluntary Delisting

From Toronto Stock Exchange

DENVER, COLORADO. JUNE 21, 2016:  ROYAL GOLD, INC.  (NASDAQ:RGLD; TSX: RGL) (together with its subsidiaries, “Royal Gold” or the “Company”) today announced that it applied to voluntarily delist its common stock from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada. Effective at the close of markets on July 8, 2016, the Company’s shares will no longer be traded on the TSX, but will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “RGLD.” Canadian stockholders may continue trading their shares on NASDAQ.

The Company believes that the low trading volume of its shares on the TSX over a long period does not justify the financial and administrative costs associated with maintaining a dual listing.

The TSX has neither approved nor disapproved the information contained herein.
