MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

1.2 OVERVIEW

Description of Business

RE Royalties Ltd., is a public company whose common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), under the trading symbol "RE". Effective March 31, 2022, the Company's common shares commenced trading under the symbol, RROYF on the OTCQX Best Market ("OTCQX"), which is the highest market tier operated by OTC Markets Group Inc.

The Company was incorporated on November 2, 2016, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The address of the Company's corporate office is 14th Floor, 1040 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4H1.

The Company provides short-term loans and acquires revenue-based royalties from renewable energy companies by providing a non-dilutive royalty financing solution to privately held and publicly traded renewable energy companies. The Company's business objectives are to acquire a portfolio of long-term, stable, and diversified renewable energy royalty streams to provide shareholders with capital appreciation and a growing, sustainable, long-term cash distribution.

Management has identified an underserviced segment in the renewable energy capital markets that lies between traditional debt and equity financing. For small to medium-sized renewable energy companies ("SMREs"), a revenue-based royalty financing has many advantages with respect to flexibility, cost and contractual terms.

Traditional royalty-based financing has been used extensively in the North American natural resource, consumer service, industrial manufacturing, health-care, music and food sectors. Management believes that there is significant demand among SMREs for non-dilutive royalty based financing solutions due to a lack of innovation in the financing for renewable energy projects.

The Company's long-term objectives will be achieved by:

  • Acquiring long-term renewable energy generation royalty streams backed by power purchase agreements or other revenue programs from credit worthy utilities and/or facilities which operate in strong merchant markets with stable power pricing;
  • Acquiring renewable energy royalties in high-growth areas of the low carbon energy sector including clean transportation, energy storage, and energy efficiency that are backed by offtake arrangements or customer sales and/or lease contracts from credit worthy counterparties.
  • Reinvesting capital to acquire new royalties and to grow royalty income and interest;
  • Utilizing debt financing and/or co-investment structures to acquire additional royalties in order to enhance financial returns for shareholders; and
  • Maintaining a low operating cost structure.
