INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This short form base shelf prospectus has been filed under legislation in each of the provinces and territories of Canada that permits certain information about these securities to be determined after this prospectus has become final and that permits the omission from this prospectus of that information. The legislation requires the delivery to purchasers of a prospectus supplement containing the omitted information within a specified period of time after agreeing to purchase any of these securities. This short form base shelf prospectus has been filed in reliance on an exemption from the preliminary base shelf prospectus requirement for a well-known seasoned issuer.

No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise. This short form base shelf prospectus constitutes an offering of these securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities in those jurisdictions. Information has been incorporated by reference in this short form base shelf prospectus from documents filed with securities commissions or similar authorities in Canada. Copies of the documents incorporated herein by reference may be obtained on request without charge from the Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary of the Corporation at 199 Bay Street, Suite 2000, P.O.

Franco-Nevada Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Franco-Nevada”) may offer and issue from time to time common shares of the Corporation (“Common Shares”), preferred shares of the Corporation (“Preferred Shares”), debt securities (“Debt Securities”), warrants to purchase Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Debt Securities (“Warrants”), or subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Securities”) or any combination thereof for up to an aggregate initial offering price of US$2,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies) during the 25-month period that this short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”), including any amendments hereto, remains effective. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a “Prospectus Supplement”). In addition, Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of any of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

The specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering will be set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Common Shares being offered, (ii) in the case of Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares offered, the designation of a particular class or series, if applicable, the offering price, whether the Preferred Shares are being offered for cash, the dividend rate, if any, any terms for redemption or retraction, any conversion rights, and any other terms specific to the Preferred Shares being offered, (iii) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation, the aggregate principal amount, the currency or the currency unit for which the Debt Securities may be purchased, the maturity, the interest provisions, the authorized denominations, the offering price, whether the Debt Securities are being offered for cash, the covenants, the events of default, any terms for redemption or retraction, any exchange or conversion rights attached to the

(continued on next page)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(continued from cover)

Debt Securities, whether the debt is senior or subordinated to the Corporation’s other liabilities and obligations, whether the Debt Securities will be secured by any of the Corporation’s assets or guaranteed by any other person, and any other terms specific to the Debt Securities being offered, (iv) in the case of Warrants, the offering price, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, the designation, the number and the terms of the Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Debt Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, any procedures that will result in the adjustment of these numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise, and any other terms specific to the Warrants being offered, and (v) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, the procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts for Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Debt Securities or Warrants, as the case may be, and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts being offered. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.

All shelf information permitted under applicable law to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in those jurisdictions. The Corporation may offer and sell Securities to, or through, underwriters or dealers and may also offer and sell certain Securities directly to other purchasers or through agents pursuant to exemptions from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws. A Prospectus Supplement relating to each issue of Securities offered thereby will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the offering and sale of the Securities and will set forth the terms of the offering of the Securities, the method of distribution of the Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Corporation and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale (including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 — Shelf Distributions of the Canadian Securities Administrators), at prices determined by reference to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution.

In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities and other than an “at-the-market distribution” (as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation), the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. An investor who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriters’ over-allocation position will acquire those Securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or through secondary market purchases. No underwriter or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “FNV”. The Common Shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the

(continued on next page)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(continued from cover)

symbol “FNV”. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, no Securities, other than Common Shares, will be listed on any securities exchange.

As of the date hereof, the Corporation has determined that it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” under the WKSI Blanket Orders (as defined below). See “Reliance on Exemptions for Well-Known Seasoned Issuers”.

Franco-Nevada’s registered office and head office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 2000, Commerce Court West, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1G9.

This offering is made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Purchasers of the Securities should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the U.S. The financial statements incorporated herein by reference have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as applicable to the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), that were applicable as at the date of the financial statements, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies. Financial statements which will be deemed incorporated by reference herein in the future, or which may form part of a Prospectus Supplement in the future, will be prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

Purchasers of the Securities should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities may have tax consequences both in the U.S. and in Canada. Such consequences for purchasers who are resident in, or citizens of, the U.S. or who are resident in Canada may not be described fully herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. Purchasers of the Securities should read the tax discussion contained in the applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering of Securities and consult their own tax advisors.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada, that most of its officers and directors are residents of Canada, that some or all of the underwriters or experts named in the registration statement are not residents of the U.S., and that a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation and said persons are located outside the U.S.

All dollar amounts in this Prospectus are expressed in United States dollars, except as otherwise indicated. References to “$”, “US$” or “dollars” are to United States dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state or Canadian securities regulator has approved or disapproved the Securities or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus nor has any underwriter performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

Investing in the Securities involves certain risks. Prospective purchasers of the Securities should carefully consider all the information in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, respectively, which may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to future events or future performance, management’s expectations regarding Franco-Nevada’s growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, performance guidance, carrying value of assets, future dividends and requirements for additional capital, mineral resources and mineral reserves estimates, production estimates, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of commodities, expected mining sequences, business prospects and opportunities, the performance and plans of third-party operators, audits being conducted by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”), the expected exposure for current and future tax assessments and available remedies, statements with respect to the future status and any potential restart of the Cobre Panamá mine and related arbitration proceedings. In addition, statements (including data in tables) relating to resources and reserves including resources and reserves covered by a royalty, stream or other interest, gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) or mine lives are forward-looking statements, as they involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, and no assurance can be given that the estimates and assumptions are accurate and that such resources and reserves, GEOs or mine lives will be realized. Such forward-looking statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budgets”, “potential for”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “predicts”, “projects”, “intends”, “targets”, “aims”, “anticipates” or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases or may be identified by statements to the effect that certain actions “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Franco-Nevada to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement, including, without limitation: fluctuations in the prices of the primary commodities that drive royalty and stream revenue (gold, platinum group metals, copper, nickel, uranium, silver, iron ore and oil and gas); fluctuations in the value of the Canadian and Australian dollar, Mexican peso, and any other currency in which revenue is generated, relative to the U.S. dollar; changes in national and local government legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies and the enforcement thereof; the adoption of a global minimum tax on corporations; regulatory, political or economic developments in any of the countries where properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest are located or through which they are held; risks related to the operators of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including changes in the ownership and control of such operators; relinquishment or sale of mineral properties; influence of macroeconomic developments; business opportunities that become available to, or are pursued by Franco-Nevada; reduced access to debt and equity capital; litigation; title, permit or license disputes related to interests on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; whether or not the Corporation is determined to have “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) status as defined in Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; potential changes in Canadian tax treatment of offshore streams; excessive cost escalation as well as development, permitting, infrastructure, operating or technical difficulties on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; access to sufficient pipeline capacity; actual mineral content may differ from the resources and reserves contained in technical reports; rate and timing of production differences from resource estimates, other technical reports and mine plans; risks and hazards associated with the business of development and mining on any of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest, including, but not limited to unusual or unexpected geological and metallurgical conditions, slope failures or cave-ins, sinkholes, flooding and other natural disasters, terrorism, civil unrest or an outbreak of contagious disease; the impact of future pandemics; and the integration of acquired assets. The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are based upon assumptions management believes to be reasonable, including, without limitation: the ongoing operation of the properties in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest by the owners or operators of such properties in a manner consistent with past practice; the accuracy of public statements and disclosures made by the owners or operators of such underlying properties; no material adverse change in the market price of the commodities that underlie the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

asset portfolio; the Corporation’s ongoing income and assets relating to determination of its PFIC status; no material changes to existing tax treatment; the expected application of tax laws and regulations by taxation authorities; the expected assessment and outcome of any audit by any taxation authority; no adverse development in respect of any significant property in which Franco-Nevada holds a royalty, stream or other interest; the accuracy of publicly disclosed expectations for the development of underlying properties that are not yet in production; integration of acquired assets; and the absence of any other factors that could cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. However, there can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. In addition, there can be no assurance as to (i) the outcome of the ongoing audit by the CRA or the Corporation’s exposure as a result thereof, or (ii) the future status and any potential restart of the Cobre Panamá mine or the outcome of any related arbitration proceedings. Franco-Nevada cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. For additional information with respect to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of this Prospectus, as well as any risk factors disclosed in the documents incorporated by reference. The forward-looking statements herein are made as of the date of this Prospectus only and Franco-Nevada does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new information, estimates or opinions, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

TECHNICAL AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION

Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure in this Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, relating to properties and operations on the properties in which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests, including the disclosure in the sections entitled “Franco-Nevada’s Assets”, “Candelaria Mining and Technical Information” and “Cobre Panamá Mining and Technical Information” in the Corporation’s annual information form dated as of March 15, 2024, is based on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of these properties and information/data available in the public domain as at the date hereof or as of the date of (or as specified in) the document incorporated by reference herein, as applicable, and none of this information has been independently verified by the Corporation. Specifically, as a royalty or stream holder, the Corporation has limited, if any, access to properties included in its asset portfolio. Additionally, the Corporation may from time to time receive operating information from the owners and operators of the properties, which it is not permitted to disclose to the public. The Corporation is dependent on the operators of the properties and their qualified persons to provide information to the Corporation or on publicly available information to prepare disclosure pertaining to properties and operations on the properties on which the Corporation holds royalty, stream or other interests and generally has limited or no ability to independently verify such information. Although the Corporation does not have any knowledge that such information may not be accurate, there can be no assurance that such third-party information is complete or accurate. Some information publicly reported by operators may relate to a larger property than the area covered by the Corporation’s royalty, stream or other interest. The Corporation’s royalty, stream or other interests often cover less than 100% and sometimes only a portion of the publicly reported mineral resources, mineral reserves and production of a property.

Except where otherwise noted, the disclosure in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein relating to mineral resource and mineral reserve statements for individual properties is made as at December 31, 2023. In addition, such numerical information presented in this Prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, which has been derived from information publicly disclosed by owners or operators may have been rounded by the Corporation and, therefore, there may be some inconsistencies between the significant digits presented in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference and the information publicly disclosed by owners or operators.

Franco-Nevada considers its stream interests in the Candelaria project and the Cobre Panamá project to be its only material mineral projects for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Franco-Nevada will continue to assess the materiality of its assets as new assets are acquired or move into production.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Information contained in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein with respect to each of the Candelaria project and the Cobre Panamá project has been prepared in accordance with the exemption set forth in section 9.2 of NI 43-101.

Unless otherwise noted, the disclosure contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein of a scientific or technical nature for the Candelaria project is based on (i) the technical report entitled “Technical Report for the Candelaria Copper Mining Complex, Atacama Province, Region III, Chile” dated February 22, 2023, which technical report was prepared for Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin”) and filed under Lundin’s SEDAR+ profile on February 22, 2023 (the “Candelaria Technical Report”); and (ii) the information disclosed in the annual information form of Lundin dated February 21, 2024 and filed under Lundin’s SEDAR+ profile on February 21, 2024.

The disclosure contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein for the Cobre Panamá project is based on (i) the technical report entitled “Cobre Panamá Project — Colón Province, Republic of Panamá — NI 43-101 Technical Report” and dated March 29, 2019, which was prepared for First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (“First Quantum”) and filed under First Quantum’s SEDAR+ profile on March 29, 2019 (the “Cobre Panamá Technical Report”); (ii) the information disclosed in the annual information form of First Quantum dated March 28, 2023 and filed under First Quantum’s SEDAR+ profile on March 28, 2023; and (iii) the management’s discussion and analysis of First Quantum for the year ended December 31, 2023 and filed under First Quantum’s SEDAR+ profile on February 20, 2024.

The technical and scientific information contained in the documents incorporated by reference herein including relating to the Candelaria project and the Cobre Panamá project was reviewed and approved in accordance with NI 43-101 by Amri Sinuhaji, P.Eng., Vice President, Mining of the Corporation and a “Qualified Person” as defined in NI 43-101.

If, after the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation is required by Section 4.2(1)(j) of NI 43-101 to file a technical report to support scientific or technical information that relates to a mineral project on a property material to the Corporation and the exemption under Section 9.2 of NI 43-101 is not available, the Corporation will file such technical report in accordance with Section 4.2(5)(a)(i) of NI 43-101 as if the words “preliminary short form prospectus” refer to a “shelf prospectus supplement”.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Corporation files reports and other information with the securities commissions and similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. These reports and information are available to the public free of charge on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.

The Corporation has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-10 relating to the Securities. This Prospectus, which constitutes a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement, certain items of which are contained in the exhibits to the registration statement as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Statements included in this Prospectus or incorporated herein by reference about the contents of any contract, agreement or other documents referred to are not necessarily complete, and in each instance investors should refer to the exhibits for a more complete description of the matter involved. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference.

The Corporation is subject to the information requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”), and applicable Canadian securities legislation and, in accordance therewith, files reports and other information with the SEC and with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada. Under the multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the U.S. and Canada, documents and other information that the Corporation files with the SEC may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada, which are different from those of the U.S. As a foreign private issuer, the Corporation is exempt from the rules under the U.S. Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the U.S. Exchange Act. In addition, the Corporation is not required to publish financial statements as promptly as U.S. companies subject to the applicable provisions of the U.S. Exchange Act.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Corporation is permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the NYSE Listed Company Manual for domestic issuers. In particular, the Corporation intends to follow the listing rules of the TSX in respect of private placements, such that shareholder approval would be required if the private placement accounts for 25% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, subject to additional shareholder approval requirements in the case of certain issuances to insiders. NYSE requires issuers to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events (such as issuances that will result in a change of control, certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or greater interest in the Corporation, and certain acquisitions of the shares or assets of another company). Thus, the Corporation will be permitted to rely on shareholder approval rules that may be less favourable to shareholders than those applied to U.S. domestic companies subject to NYSE shareholder approval rules.

Investors may read any document that the Corporation has filed with, or furnished to, the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Investors may read and download some of the documents the Corporation has filed with the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system at www.sec.gov.

Investors should rely only on information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Corporation has not authorized anyone to provide investors with different information. The Corporation is not making an offer of the Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. Investors should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this Prospectus, unless otherwise noted herein or as required by law. It should be assumed that the information appearing in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference are accurate only as of their respective dates. The business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Corporation may have changed since those dates.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of U.S. securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates included in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement have been prepared by the owners and operators of the relevant properties (as and to the extent indicated by them) in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the “CIM Definition Standards”). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 permits a historical estimate made prior to the adoption of NI 43-101 that does not comply with NI 43-101 to be disclosed using the historical terminology if, among other things, the disclosure: (i) identifies the source and date of the historical estimate; (ii) comments on the relevance and reliability of the historical estimate; (iii) states whether the historical estimate uses categories other than those prescribed by NI 43-101; and (iv) includes any more recent estimates or data available.

Mining disclosure under U.S. securities law was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the U.S. Exchange Act. The SEC has adopted rules to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S-K 1300”) which became mandatory for U.S. reporting companies beginning with the first fiscal year commencing on or after January 1, 2021. Under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be substantially similar to international standards. Readers are cautioned that despite efforts to harmonize U.S. mining disclosure rules with NI 43-101 and other international requirements, there are differences between the terms and definitions used in Regulation S-K 1300 and mining terms defined in the CIM Definition Standards, which definitions have been adopted by NI 43-101, and there is no assurance that any mineral resources or mineral reserves that an owner or operator may report as “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources”, “inferred mineral resources”, “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the owner or operator prepared the mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates under the standards of Regulation S-K 1300.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE CORPORATION

Franco-Nevada is the leading gold-focused royalty and streaming company with the largest and most diversified portfolio of royalties and streams by commodity, geography, operator, revenue type and stage of project.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Franco-Nevada’s revenue is generated from various forms of agreements, ranging from net smelter return royalties, streams, net profits interests, net royalty interests, working interests and other types of arrangements. Franco-Nevada does not operate mines, develop projects or conduct exploration. Franco-Nevada has a free cash flow generating business with limited future capital commitments and management is focused on managing and growing its portfolio of royalties and streams. The Corporation recognizes the cyclical nature of the industry and has a long-term investment outlook. Franco-Nevada maintains a strong balance sheet to minimize financial risk and so that it can provide capital to the industry when it is otherwise scarce. The advantages of this business model are:

•

Exposure to commodity price optionality;

•

A perpetual discovery option over large areas of geologically prospective lands;

•

No additional capital requirements other than the initial investment;

•

Limited exposure to cost inflation;

•

A free cash-flow business with limited cash calls;

•

A high-margin business that can generate cash through the entire commodity cycle;

•

A scalable and diversified business in which a large number of assets can be managed with a small stable overhead; and

•

Management that focuses on forward-looking growth opportunities rather than operational or development issues.

Franco-Nevada’s short-term financial results are primarily tied to the price of commodities and the amount of production from its portfolio of assets. The Corporation’s attributable production has typically been supplemented by acquisitions of new assets. Over the longer term, the Corporation’s results are impacted by the amount of exploration and development capital available to operators to expand or extend Franco-Nevada’s producing assets or to progress Franco-Nevada’s advanced and exploration assets into production.

The focus of the Corporation’s business is to create exposure to gold and precious metal resource optionality. This principally involves investments in gold projects and providing capital to copper and other base metal projects to obtain exposure to by-product gold, silver and platinum group metals production. The Corporation also invests in other metals and energy to expose its shareholders to additional resource optionality.

One of the strengths of Franco-Nevada’s business model is that its margins are not generally impacted when producer costs increase. The majority of the Corporation’s interests are royalty and streams with payments/deliveries that are based on production levels with no adjustments for the operator’s operating costs.

At each of March 31, 2024 and June 12, 2024, the Corporation did not have any drawn debt under the Corporate Revolver (as defined below).

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS

The Corporation (together with its subsidiary, Franco-Nevada U.S. Corporation, as “Borrowers”) entered into an amended and restated syndicated bank credit facility (the “Corporate Revolver”) on March 22, 2017, pursuant to which certain financial institutions (the “Lenders”) provided a US$1 billion unsecured revolving term credit facility, with a US$250 million accordion. On August 15, 2022, the Corporation further extended the Corporate Revolver to August 15, 2027 and, as of June 3, 2024, has further extended the Corporate Revolver to June 3, 2029. The Corporation has posted security in the form of standby letters of credit in the amount of US$18.6 million (C$25.6 million) in connection with the audit by the CRA. The standby letters of credit reduce the available balance under the Corporate Revolver.

The Lenders are paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges between 0.20% and 0.41% on the unutilized portion of the Corporate Revolver, which is paid quarterly. The Borrowers will pay interest on any amounts borrowed by way of prime rate or base rate loans at the prime rate or base rate, as applicable, plus a margin that ranges from 0% to 1.05%. Secured Overnight Financing Rate fees and margins range from 1.10% and 2.15%. CORRA loans and letter of guarantee fees and margins range from 1.00% to 2.05% plus a credit spread adjustment in the case of CORRA loans of 29.547 to 32.138 basis points per annum. The applicable margin is based on the Borrowers’ leverage ratio.

Payment and performance of the obligations under the Corporate Revolver are guaranteed by certain of the Corporation’s subsidiaries (together with the Borrowers, each an “Obligor”).

The Corporate Revolver contains covenants that include certain limits on, among other things, the ability of an Obligor to create indebtedness, create liens, enter into related party transactions, dispose of assets, amend or alter their corporate status or amalgamate, make acquisitions, amend or terminate material contracts, make distributions or investments, issue equity or materially change their business. The Corporation is also required to maintain a net indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

Events of default under the Corporate Revolver include, among other things:

•

the failure to pay principal when due and payable, and the failure to pay interest, fees or other amounts payable within three business days of such amounts becoming due and payable;

•

the breach by the Corporation of any financial covenant;

•

the breach by any Obligor of any other term, covenant or other agreement that is not cured within 20 banking days after written notice of the breach has been given to the Corporation;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

a default under any other indebtedness of the Obligors, in an aggregate amount of US$75 million or more, if the effect of such default is to accelerate, or to permit the acceleration of, the due date of such indebtedness;

•

a change in control of the Corporation which is defined to occur upon (a) the acquisition of ownership, directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, by any person or group of persons, of equity interests representing more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Corporation, (b) the occupation of a majority of the seats (other than vacant seats) on the board of directors of the Corporation by persons who were neither nominated by a board of directors of the Corporation, nor appointed by directors so nominated, or (c) the acquisition of direct or indirect control of the Corporation by any person or group; and

•

various events relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency or winding-up, liquidation or dissolution or cessation of business of any Obligor.

As of the date of this Prospectus, no amount was drawn down under the Corporate Revolver. See “Consolidated Capitalization”.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of Securities for cash will be used for general corporate purposes, including funding resource royalty and stream acquisitions and other corporate development opportunities. Each Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information, if any, concerning the use of proceeds from that sale of Securities.

All expenses relating to an offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of the proceeds of the offering or from the Corporation’s general funds, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The plan of distribution with respect to an offering of Securities under this Prospectus will be described in the Prospectus Supplement for the applicable distribution of Securities.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The authorized share capital of Franco-Nevada consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares, of which 192,340,553 Common Shares and no Preferred Shares were outstanding as of June 12, 2024.

Common Shares

Each Common Share carries the right to one vote at all meetings of shareholders of Franco-Nevada. There are no special rights or restrictions of any nature attached to the Common Shares. All Common Shares rank equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation in assets upon liquidation of Franco-Nevada.

The Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX and the NYSE under the symbol “FNV”.

Preferred Shares

The Preferred Shares may be issued in one or more series, each series to consist of such number of shares as may, before the issue thereof, be fixed by resolution of the board of directors. The directors shall determine before the issue thereof the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares of each series including the rate or amount of dividends or the method of calculating dividends, the dates of payment thereof, the redemption and/or purchase prices and terms and conditions of redemption and/or purchase, any voting rights, any conversion rights and any sinking fund or other provisions.

The Preferred Shares of each series will, with respect to payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, rank on a parity with the Preferred Shares of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

every other series and be entitled to preference over the Common Shares and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares of any series may also be given such other preferences over the Common Shares and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares as may be fixed by the directors.

TRADING PRICE AND VOLUME

Trading price and volume of the Corporation’s Securities will be provided, as required, in each Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus.

PRIOR SALES

Prior sales of the Corporation’s Securities will be provided, as required, in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This description sets forth certain general terms and provisions that would apply to any Debt Securities that Franco-Nevada may issue pursuant to this Prospectus. Franco-Nevada will provide particular terms and provisions of a series of Debt Securities, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to that series, in a Prospectus Supplement.

The Debt Securities will be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be entered into between Franco-Nevada as issuer, and one or more trustees (the “Trustee”) that will be named in a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus. A copy of the form of the Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to Franco-Nevada’s registration statement filed with the SEC. The following summary highlights some of the provisions of the Indenture, and may not contain all of the information that is important to a purchaser of Debt Securities. Wherever this section refers to particular provisions or defined terms of the Indenture, such provisions or defined terms are incorporated in this Prospectus by reference as part of the statement made, and the statement is qualified by such reference. The Corporation will summarize in the applicable Prospectus Supplement certain terms of the Debt Securities being offered thereby and the relevant indenture which the Corporation believes will be most important to an investor’s decision to invest in the Debt Securities being offered. Such indenture may or may not be identical to the Indenture. Investors should keep in mind, however, that it is the indenture, as supplemented by any applicable supplemental indenture, and not this summary, which define an investor’s rights as a holder of Debt Securities.

Franco-Nevada may issue Debt Securities and incur additional indebtedness otherwise than through the offering of any Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

General

The Indenture does not limit the amount of Debt Securities which Franco-Nevada may issue under the Indenture, and Franco-Nevada may issue Debt Securities in one or more series. Debt Securities may be denominated and payable in any currency. Franco-Nevada may offer no more than US$2,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies) in aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture permits Franco-Nevada, without the consent of the holders of any Debt Securities, to increase the principal amount of any series of Debt Securities that Franco-Nevada has previously issued under the Indenture and to issue such increased principal amount.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms relating to the Debt Securities offered by such Prospectus Supplement (the “Offered Securities”), including:

•

the specific designation of the Offered Securities; the aggregate principal amount of the Offered Securities; the price or prices at which the Offered Securities will be issued; the date or dates, if any, on which the Offered Securities will mature and the portion (if less than all of the principal amount) of the Offered Securities to be payable upon declaration of acceleration of maturity;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the rate or rates at which the Offered Securities will bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which any such interest will accrue and on which any such interest will be payable and the record dates for any interest payable on the Offered Securities which are in registered form;

•

the terms and conditions under which Franco-Nevada may be obligated to redeem, repay or purchase the Offered Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or otherwise;

•

the terms and conditions upon which Franco-Nevada may redeem the Offered Securities, in whole or in part, at its option;

•

the covenants and events of default applicable to the Offered Securities;

•

the terms and conditions for any conversion or exchange of the Offered Securities for any other securities;

•

whether the Offered Securities will be issuable in registered form or bearer form or both, and, if issuable in bearer form, the restrictions as to the offer, sale and delivery of the Offered Securities which are in bearer form and as to exchanges between registered form and bearer form;

•

whether the Offered Securities will be issuable in the form of registered global securities (“Global Securities”), and, if so, the identity of the depositary for such registered Global Securities;

•

the denominations in which registered Offered Securities will be issuable, if other than denominations of US$1,000 and any multiple thereof, and the denominations in which bearer Offered Securities will be issuable, if other than US$5,000;

•

each office or agency where payments on the Offered Securities will be made (if other than the offices or agencies described under “Payment” below) and each office or agency where the Offered Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange;

•

the currency in which the Offered Securities are denominated and the currency in which Franco-Nevada will make payments on the Offered Securities;

•

any index, formula or other method used to determine the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Offered Securities; and

•

any other terms of the Offered Securities which apply solely to the Offered Securities, or terms generally applicable to the Debt Securities which are not to apply to the Offered Securities.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement:

•

holders may not tender Debt Securities to Franco-Nevada for repurchase; and

•

the rate or rates of interest on the Debt Securities will not increase if Franco-Nevada becomes involved in a highly leveraged transaction or Franco-Nevada is acquired by another entity.

Franco-Nevada may issue Debt Securities under the Indenture bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance and, in such circumstances, Franco-Nevada will offer and sell those Debt Securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. Franco-Nevada will describe in the applicable Prospectus Supplement any generally applicable Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any discounted Debt Securities or other Debt Securities offered and sold at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for Canadian and/or U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Debt Securities issued by Franco-Nevada will be direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of Franco-Nevada and will rank equally among themselves and with all of Franco-Nevada’s other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, if any, except to the extent prescribed by law. Debt Securities issued by Franco-Nevada as unsecured, unsubordinated obligations will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables and other indebtedness, of Franco-Nevada’s subsidiaries.

Franco-Nevada will agree to provide to the Trustee (i) annual reports containing audited financial statements, and (ii) quarterly reports for the first three quarters of each fiscal year containing unaudited financial information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Payment

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Franco-Nevada will make payments on registered Debt Securities (other than Global Securities) at the office or agency of Franco-Nevada maintained for such purpose, except that Franco-Nevada may choose to pay interest (i) by cheque mailed to the address of the person entitled to such payment as specified in the security register, or (ii) by wire transfer to an account located in the U.S. maintained by the person entitled to such payment as specified in the security register. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Franco-Nevada will pay any interest due on registered Debt Securities to the persons in whose name such registered Debt Securities are registered on the day or days specified by Franco-Nevada.

Registered Global Securities

Registered Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in global form that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the Prospectus Supplement. Global Securities will be registered in the name of a financial institution Franco-Nevada selects, and the Debt Securities included in the Global Securities may not be transferred to the name of any other direct holder unless the special circumstances described below occur. The financial institution that acts as the sole direct holder of the Global Securities is called the “Depositary”. Any person wishing to own Debt Securities issued in the form of Global Securities must do so indirectly by virtue of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that, in turn, has an account with the Depositary.

Special Investor Considerations for Global Securities

Franco-Nevada’s obligations, as well as the obligations of the Trustee and those of any third parties employed by Franco-Nevada or the Trustee, run only to persons who are registered as holders of Debt Securities. For example, once Franco-Nevada makes payment to the registered holder, Franco-Nevada has no further responsibility for the payment even if that holder is legally required to pass the payment along to an investor but does not do so. As an indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a Global Security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the Depositary, as well as general laws relating to debt securities transfers.

An investor should be aware that when Debt Securities are issued in the form of Global Securities:

•

the investor cannot have Debt Securities registered in his or her own name;

•

the investor cannot receive physical certificates for his or her interest in the Debt Securities;

•

the investor must look to his or her own bank or brokerage firm for payments on the Debt Securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the Debt Securities;

•

the investor may not be able to sell interests in the Debt Securities to some insurance companies and other institutions that are required by law to hold the physical certificates of Debt Securities that they own;

•

the Depositary’s policies will govern payments, transfers, exchange and other matters relating to the investor’s interest in the Global Security. Franco-Nevada and the Trustee will have no responsibility for any aspect of the Depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the Global Security. Franco-Nevada and the Trustee also do not supervise the Depositary in any way; and

•

the Depositary will usually require that interests in a Global Security be purchased or sold within its system using same-day funds.

Special Situations When Global Security Will be Terminated

In a few special situations described below, a Global Security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing Debt Securities. After that exchange, an investor may choose whether to hold Debt Securities directly or indirectly through an account at its bank or brokerage firm. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in Debt Securities transferred into their own names, so that they will be direct holders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The special situations for termination of a Global Security are:

•

when the Depositary notifies Franco-Nevada that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as Depositary (unless a replacement Depositary is named) and Franco-Nevada has not appointed a successor depository within 90 days; and

•

when and if Franco-Nevada decides not to have Debt Securities represented by a Global Security.

The Prospectus Supplement may list situations for terminating a Global Security that would apply only to the particular series of Debt Securities covered by the Prospectus Supplement. When a Global Security terminates, the Depositary (and not Franco-Nevada or the Trustee) is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

Events of Default

The term “Event of Default” with respect to Debt Securities of any series means any of the following, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement:

(a)

default in the payment of the principal of (or any premium on) any Debt Security of that series at its maturity;

(b)

default in the payment of any interest on any Debt Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(c)

default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when the same becomes due by the terms of the Debt Securities of that series;

(d)

default in the performance, or breach, of any other covenant or agreement of Franco-Nevada in the Indenture in respect of the Debt Securities of that series (other than a covenant or agreement for which default or breach is specifically dealt with elsewhere in the Indenture), where such default or breach continues for a period of 90 days after written notice to Franco-Nevada by the Trustee or to Franco-Nevada and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby;

(e)

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; or

(f)

any other Events of Default provided with respect to the Debt Securities of that series.

If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) above occurs and is continuing with respect to Debt Securities of any series, then the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series may require the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are original issue discount Debt Securities or indexed Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the outstanding Debt Securities of that series and any accrued but unpaid interest on such Debt Securities to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (f) above occurs and is continuing with respect to Debt Securities of one or more series, then the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected thereby (as one class) may require the principal amount (or, if any of the Debt Securities of such affected series are original issue discount securities or indexed Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such affected series) of all the outstanding Debt Securities of such affected series and any accrued but unpaid interest on such Debt Securities to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) above occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all outstanding Debt Securities (as a class) may require the principal amount (or, if the Debt Securities of any series are original issue discount Debt Securities or indexed Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the outstanding Debt Securities and any accrued but unpaid interest on such Debt Securities to be due and payable immediately. However, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case may be) has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series (or of all series, as the case may be), by written notice to Franco-Nevada and the Trustee, may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration. The applicable

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Prospectus Supplement will contain provisions relating to acceleration of the maturity of a portion of the principal amount of original issue discount Debt Securities or indexed securities upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the continuation thereof.

The Trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights and powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. If the holders provide reasonable security or indemnity, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by an Event of Default may, subject to certain limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of all series affected by such Event of Default.

No holder of a Debt Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceedings, unless:

•

such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of that series;

•

the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such Event of Default have made written request and have offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceedings as trustee; and

•

the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such Event of Default a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.

However, these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of payment of principal of, premium if any, or interest on such Security on or after the applicable due date of such payment.

Franco-Nevada will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually an officers’ certificate as to the performance of certain of its obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in such performance.

Defeasance

As used herein, the term “defeasance” means discharge from some or all of its obligations under the Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series. If the terms of a particular series of Debt Security so provide, Franco-Nevada may deposit with the Trustee sufficient cash or government securities or a combination of thereof to pay the principal, interest, any premium and any other sums due to the stated maturity or a redemption date of the Debt Securities of a particular series, and then at its option:

•

Franco-Nevada will be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of such series with certain exceptions, and the holders of the Debt Securities of the affected series will not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture except for registration of transfer and exchange of Debt Securities and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated Debt Securities and certain other limited rights. Such holders may look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment; or

•

Franco-Nevada will no longer be under any obligation to comply with certain covenants under the Indenture, and certain Events of Default will no longer apply to it.

To exercise defeasance Franco-Nevada also must deliver, among other requirements set forth in the Indenture, to the Trustee:

•

an opinion of U.S. counsel to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the holders of the Debt Securities of the applicable series to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that holders of the Debt Securities of that series will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; and

•

an opinion of Canadian counsel or a ruling from the CRA that there would be no such recognition of income, gain or loss for Canadian federal or provincial tax purposes and that holders of the Debt

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Securities of such series will be subject to Canadian federal and provincial income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

In addition, no Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of the applicable series can have occurred and Franco-Nevada cannot be an insolvent person under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada). In order for U.S. counsel to deliver the opinion that would allow Franco-Nevada to be discharged from all of its obligations under the Debt Securities of any series, Franco-Nevada must have received from, or there must have been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there must have been a change in law so that the deposit and defeasance would not cause holders of the Debt Securities of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and so that such holders would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred. In addition, in order for Canadian counsel to deliver the opinion that would allow Franco-Nevada to be discharged from all of its obligations under the Debt Securities of any series, Franco-Nevada must have received from the CRA an advance income tax ruling, or there must have been a change in law, to the effect that the deposit and defeasance would not cause holders of the Debt Securities of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal or provincial income tax purposes and to the effect that such holders would be subject to Canadian federal and provincial income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

Corporate Existence

The terms and conditions relating to any permitted merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets of the Corporation under certain circumstances will be set forth in a supplemental indenture. Notwithstanding the terms of the supplemental indenture, however, the Corporation will be permitted to engage in any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, continuation or share exchange solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Corporation in another jurisdiction or forming a direct or indirect holding company of the Corporation.

Modifications and Waivers

Franco-Nevada may modify or amend the Indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however, that Franco-Nevada must receive consent from the holder of each outstanding Debt Security of such affected series to:

•

change the stated maturity of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such outstanding Debt Security;

•

reduce the principal amount of, premium, if any, or interest on such outstanding Debt Security;

•

reduce the amount of the principal payable upon the acceleration of the maturity of an outstanding original issue discount Debt Security;

•

change the place of payment or currency of payments on such outstanding Debt Security;

•

impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on such outstanding Debt Security on or after its stated maturity or any redemption date with respect thereto;

•

reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of such series, from which the consent of holders is required to modify or amend the Indenture or waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or waive certain defaults; or

•

modify any provisions of the Indenture relating to modifying or amending the Indenture or waiving past defaults or covenants except as otherwise specified.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series may waive Franco-Nevada’s compliance with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture with respect to such series. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of all series with respect to which an

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Event of Default has occurred may waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security or in respect of any item listed above.

The Indenture or the Debt Securities may be amended or supplemented, without the consent of any holder of such Debt Securities, in order to, among other things, cure any ambiguity or inconsistency or to make any change, in any case, that does not have a materially adverse effect on the rights of any holder of such Debt Securities.

Consent to Jurisdiction and Service

Under the Indenture, Franco-Nevada will irrevocably appoint Corporation Service Company, 80 State Street, Albany, New York, 12207-2543 as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture or the Debt Securities and for actions brought under U.S. federal or state securities laws brought in any U.S. federal or state court located in the City of New York, and will submit to such non-exclusive jurisdiction.

RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FOR WELL-KNOWN SEASONED ISSUERS

The securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada have adopted substantively harmonized blanket orders, including Ontario Instrument 44-501 — Exemption from Certain Prospectus Requirements for Well-known Seasoned Issuers (Interim Class Order) (together with the equivalent local blanket orders in each of the other provinces and territories of Canada, all as amended or extended, collectively, the “WKSI Blanket Orders”). This Prospectus has been filed by the Corporation in reliance upon the WKSI Blanket Orders, which permit “well-known seasoned issuers”, or “WKSIs”, to file a final short form base shelf prospectus as the first public step in an offering, and exempt qualifying issuers from certain disclosure requirements relating to such final short form base shelf prospectus. As of the date hereof, the Corporation has determined that it qualifies as a “well-known seasoned issuer” under the WKSI Blanket Orders. The Corporation intends to rely on such exemptions to the full extent permitted by the WKSI Blanket Orders, notwithstanding the inclusion in this Prospectus of any disclosure that is permitted to be excluded pursuant to the WKSI Blanket Orders.

MATTERS INVOLVING DIRECTORS

Tom Albanese, a director of the Corporation, is a director of Nevada Copper Corp. (“NCU”). On June 10, 2024, NCU filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the District of Nevada. NCU’s Chapter 11 proceedings are currently ongoing.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The independent registered public accounting firm of the Corporation is PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, PwC Tower, 18 York Street, Suite 2500, Toronto, Ontario M5J 0B2. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has advised the Corporation that they are independent of the Corporation within the meaning of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario CPA Code of Professional Conduct

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3520, Auditor Independence.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares of the Corporation is Computershare Investor Services Inc. at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario.

AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS

Tom Albanese and Hugo Dryland are directors of the Corporation who each reside outside of Canada. Mr. Albanese and Mr. Dryland have each appointed the following agent for service of process:

Name of Person			Name and Address of Agent
Tom Albanese			Franco-Nevada Corporation 199 Bay Street, Suite 2000,
Hugo Dryland			Commerce Court West Toronto, Ontario M5L 1G9

Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Corporation is incorporated under the laws of Canada and its principal place of business is in Canada. Most of the Corporation’s directors and officers, and some of the experts named in this Prospectus, are residents of Canada, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a substantial portion of the Corporation’s assets, are located outside the U.S. The Corporation has appointed an agent for service of process in the U.S. but it may be difficult for holders of Securities who reside in the U.S. to effect service within the U.S. upon the Corporation or those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the U.S. Investors should not assume that a Canadian court would enforce a judgment of a U.S. court obtained in an action against the Corporation or such other persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the U.S. or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Corporation or such persons predicated on the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Corporation’s Canadian counsel has advised the Corporation that a monetary judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws would likely be enforceable in Canada if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that was recognized by a Canadian court for such purposes. The Corporation cannot provide assurance that this will be the case. It is less certain that an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance on the basis of liability predicated solely upon such laws.

The Corporation will file with the SEC, in conjunction with the registration statement on Form F-10 of which this Prospectus forms a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Corporation will appoint Corporation Service Company as its agent for service of process in the U.S. in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Corporation in a U.S. court arising out of or relating to or concerning an offering of Securities under this Prospectus.

DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents have been or will be filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part: the documents set out under the heading “Documents Incorporated by Reference”; the consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with respect to their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023; the consent of “qualified person” Amri Sinuhaji; the powers of attorney from the directors and certain officers of the Corporation; the form of Indenture; and the SEC filing fee exhibit. A copy of the form of warrant indenture, subscription receipt agreement or statement of eligibility of trustee on Form T-1, as applicable, will be filed by post-effective amendment or by incorporation by reference to documents filed with, or furnished to, the SEC under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), the Registrant may indemnify a present or former director or officer of the Registrant or another individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. The Registrant may not indemnify an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Registrant’s request and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. The indemnification may be made in connection with an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above only with court approval. The aforementioned individuals are entitled to indemnification from the Registrant in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual’s association with the Registrant or other entity as described above if the individual was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual described above ought to have done provided the individual fulfills the conditions set out above. The Registrant may advance moneys to an individual described above for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding described above; however, the individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions set out above.

By-law No. 1 of the Registrant provides that the Registrant agrees to indemnify each director and officer of the Registrant, each former director and officer of the Registrant and each individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or each individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Registrant or other entity. Subject to the limitations contained in the CBCA, the by-law of the Registrant provides that the Registrant, may purchase and maintain insurance as the board of directors of the Registrant may from time to time determine for the benefit of a director or officer of the Registrant, each former director and officer of the Registrant and each individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer, or each individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity.

Additionally, By-law No.1 provides that no director or officer shall be liable (i) for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director, officer, employee, or agent, (ii) for joining in any receipt or other act for conformity, (iii) for any loss, damage or expense happening to the Registrant through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired for or on behalf of the Registrant, (iv) for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of the Registrant shall be invested, (v) for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious acts of any person with whom any of the moneys, securities or effects of the Registrant shall be deposited, (vi) for any loss occasioned by any error of judgment or oversight on the part of that person, (vii) for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which happen in the execution of the duties of that person’s office or in relation thereto, unless the same are occasioned by that person’s own willful neglect or default.

The Registrant’s indemnity applies only to the extent that the individual seeking indemnity acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Registrant, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in similar capacity at the Registrant’s request; and in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. The

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Registrant may advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for the costs, charges and expenses of a proceeding. The individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions set out above.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

(1) The Registrant previously filed a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-264971), initially filed on May 13, 2022 and declared effective on May 19, 2022 (the “May 2022 Registration Statement”), which registered an indeterminate number of Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, or Subscription Receipts of the Registrant as shall have an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed US$2,000,000,000. The May 2022 Registration Statement was not used, resulting in US$2,000,000,000 as the unsold aggregate offering amount. Accordingly, 100% of the US$185,400 of the registration fees on the May 2022 Registration Statement is being carried over to this Registration Statement, and results in a fee offset of US$185,400. This amount includes $23,391.64 of fee offsets from the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-237671), initially filed on April 14, 2020, amended on April 28, 2020 and declared effective on April 30, 2020 (the “April 2020 Registration Statement”, and together with the May 2022 Registration Statement, the “Prior Registration Statements”), as described in the SEC filing fee exhibit to the May 2022 Registration Statement. The Registrant has terminated or completed any offerings that included the unsold securities under the Prior Registration Statements.
