Altius Minerals Corporation Closes Transaction Increasing Ownership Interest in Great Bay Renewables and Announces Increased Credit Facility

Key Terms

membership interests financial

An ownership stake in a limited liability company (LLC) that represents a holder’s share of the business’s profits, losses, and decision-making power. Think of it like a slice of the company’s pie and a seat at its management table: it determines how much money the owner can receive and how much influence they have over company choices. Investors care because these interests affect returns, control, transferability, and tax treatment.

proportionate share financial

Proportionate share is the portion of an asset, liability, income or expense that belongs to an entity based on its ownership stake or contractual interest. For investors it shows how much of a joint investment, partnership result or shared liability would be attributed to a particular owner — like knowing your slice of a pie when multiple people share the same pie — which helps compare returns and risks across holdings.

revolving facility financial

A revolving facility is a bank loan that works like a company credit card: the borrower can draw funds, repay them, and draw again up to a set limit during the agreement period. It matters to investors because it provides short-term cash flexibility for operations, investments, or emergencies, and the cost or availability of that credit can affect a company’s liquidity, interest expenses, and financial stability.

total net debt ratio financial

A leverage metric that compares a company’s net debt — interest-bearing debt minus cash and equivalents — to a measure of the company’s size, commonly total assets or total capital. It shows how much debt remains after using available cash, expressed as a proportion of the business, so investors can gauge the company’s debt burden relative to its size; think of it like the remaining mortgage on a house compared to the house’s value.

royalty acquisitions technical

The purchase of one party’s right to receive future royalty payments from an asset, such as drug sales, music, patents, or mineral output. It is like buying someone’s future paycheck from a specific product or license: the buyer pays upfront and then collects a share of revenue over time. Investors care because royalty acquisitions convert future income into an immediate asset that can provide steady cash flow and diversify revenue sources.

streaming acquisitions technical

The purchase of a contract, portfolio, or business that gives the buyer rights to future revenue streams—typically by paying an upfront sum in exchange for a fixed share of future production or sales receipts. Think of it like buying a tollbooth: you pay now to collect a portion of the money that passes through over time. Investors care because these deals convert future cash flows into a current asset whose risk and return profile differs from owning the underlying operating business.

ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland and Labrador--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS) (OTCQX: ATUSF) (“Altius”) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the transaction, originally announced on July 10, 2026, to increase its effective ownership interest in Great Bay Renewable Holdings, LLC and Great Bay Renewable Holdings II, LLC (“collectively, “GBR”) to 50%.

Under the transaction, funds managed by affiliates of Apollo (NYSE: APO) sold their membership interests in GBR to Northampton Capital Partners (“Northampton”) for total consideration of approximately US$390 million. Concurrently, Northampton sold its interest in Altius Renewable Royalties Corp. to Altius for approximately US$168 million.

As a result of the tripartite transaction Altius’s effective interest in GBR has increased from 29% to 50%, while Northampton’s effective interest has increased from 22% to 50%. Following the closing GBR is held equally by Altius and Northampton, with Apollo funds no longer holding an interest in GBR. From Q3 2026 onward Altius will report its proportionate share of 50% of GBR revenues and expenses.

Amended Credit Facility

On July 24, 2026 the Corporation completed an amendment to increase its credit facility ("Credit Facility") to C$350 million from C$225 million, being jointly led by Bank of Nova Scotia and Toronto-Dominion Bank, with participation from National Bank of Canada, ATB Financial, Desjardins Financial Security Life Assurance Company and Export Development Canada. Bank of Nova Scotia is the Administrative Agent for the Credit Facility. The previous term and revolving credit facility is replaced with a single revolving facility with no principal repayments required. The debt balance currently outstanding of approximately C$87 million was transferred to the amended Credit Facility with maturity being extended from August 2028 to July 2030. The Credit Facility is available for qualifying royalty acquisitions, streaming acquisitions and other qualifying investments and will bear interest at variable rates, with pricing improvements based on the total net debt ratio. Subsequent to the closing of this amendment the Corporation completed a draw down on the Credit Facility of C$100 million in relation to the closing and funding of the GBR transaction.

About Altius

Altius’s strategy is to create per share growth through a diversified portfolio of royalty assets that relate to long life, high margin operations. This strategy further provides shareholders with exposures that are well aligned with global growth trends including increasing electricity-based market share within energy usage, global infrastructure build and refurbishment growth, increased EAF based steelmaking, steadily increasing agricultural fertilizer requirements and the enhanced appetite for financial asset diversification through precious metals ownership. These macro-trends each hold the potential to cause higher demand for many of Altius’s commodity exposures including potash, high purity iron ore, electricity, base metals, and gold. In addition, Altius runs a successful Project Generation business that originates mineral projects for sale to developers in exchange for royalties and that has a demonstrated track record of driving outsized direct returns from its overall royalty investment portfolio. Altius has 58,748,220 common shares issued and outstanding that are listed on Canada’s Toronto Stock Exchange. It is a member of the S&P/TSX Composite and S&P/TSX Global Mining Indices and the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index.
