Freehold Royalties Ltd. (Freehold) (TSX:FRU) announces that it has closed its
previously announced $120 million strategic joint venture (the Joint Venture)
with a Canadian based company in the East Edson area of Alberta.


In conjunction with the closing of the Joint Venture, Freehold also completed
its previously announced bought deal financing, issuing 4,900,000 common shares
at a price of $26.90 per share (the Issue Price) for gross proceeds of
approximately $131.8 million, which included the partial exercise of the
over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. The bought deal offering was
completed through a syndicate of underwriters led by CIBC.


Concurrent with the closing of the bought deal offering, the pension trust funds
for employees of Canadian National Railway Company (CN Pension Trust Funds)
purchased approximately $15 million (557,621 common shares) of Freehold, at the
Issue Price on a non-brokered private placement basis. 


The aggregate gross proceeds raised by Freehold pursuant to the bought deal
offering and the investment by the CN Pension Trust Funds totaled approximately
$146.8 million. Freehold used a portion of the net proceeds from the bought deal
offering and investment by the CN Pension Trust Funds to fund its commitments
pursuant to the Joint Venture and expects to use approximately $21 million to
pay down a portion of outstanding indebtedness.


The common shares offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
