Application of Policy

Covered Compensation awarded to Covered Individuals and Incentive-Based Compensation received by Executive Officers on or after the applicable Effective Date will be subject to the terms of this Policy, as amended from time to time, and subject to any adjustment required by local law, including any securities, stock exchange, employment or tax laws, regulations or practices which may apply to a Covered Individual, an Executive Officer and/or Triple Flag. An individual may be treated as both a Covered Individual and an Executive Officer for purposes of this Policy and


-4-

may be subject to both a Restatement Clawback and a Conduct Clawback, but the Board will make good faith efforts to avoid duplication of recovery or repayment.

A copy of this Policy will be made available to employees who are Covered Individuals and/or Executive Officers on the applicable Effective Date and to Covered Individuals and/or Executive Officers at the time of their hire or their promotion, as applicable. The Board may require that any employment agreement, equity award agreement or similar agreement entered into with a Covered Individual or an Executive Officer after the applicable Effective Date require, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, such Covered Individual’s or Executive Officer’s agreement to abide by the terms of this Policy.

4.

Accounting Restatement

In the event Triple Flag is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Board will review all Incentive-Based Compensation received by Executive Officer during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the applicable Accounting Restatement Date (as well as during any transition period specified in the U.S. Clawback Rules), other than any such compensation that was received prior to such Executive Officer’s service as an Executive Officer or prior to the Effective Date. Incentive-Based Compensation is deemed “received” in the fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the applicable Incentive-Based Compensation is attained, even if the payment or grant of such Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period. If the Board determines that an Executive Officer received any Erroneously Awarded Compensation in connection with an Accounting Restatement, the Board shall, reasonably promptly after the Accounting Restatement Date, seek recoupment from such Executive Officer of all such Erroneously Awarded Compensation, subject to the exceptions set forth below in Section 5 (if applicable).

The amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation shall be calculated in accordance with the U.S. Clawback Rules. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on Triple Flag’s stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement: (i) the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on Triple Flag’s stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received; and (ii) Triple Flag must maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide such documentation to the applicable U.S. stock exchange.

5.

Mandatory Recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

Triple Flag must recover any Erroneously Awarded Compensation unless the Compensation Committee of the Board (or in its absence, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board) determines that any of the impracticality exceptions set forth in the U.S. Clawback Rules are available.

Triple Flag’s obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements for the Accounting Restatement have been filed.


-5-

Recoupment of Erroneously Awarded Compensation due to an Accounting Restatement will be made on a “no fault” basis, without regard to whether any misconduct occurred or whether any Executive Officer is responsible for the noncompliance that resulted in the Accounting Restatement.

6.

Conduct Restatement

If,

(a)a Covered Individual engages in Serious Misconduct resulting in a Conduct Restatement,
(b)the amount of Covered Compensation received by the Covered Individual was calculated based on, or contingent on, achieving certain financial results that are subsequently the subject of or affected by the Conduct Restatement, and
(c)the Covered Compensation received by the Covered Individual would have been lower had the financial results originally been reported as per the Conduct Restatement,

then Triple Flag shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to claim from the Covered Individual the forfeiture or repayment of all or a portion of the Covered Individual’s Recoverable Compensation.

7.

Enforcement of Compensation Recovery

The application and enforcement of this Policy to recoup Recoverable Compensation or Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as applicable) may include the following:

(a)forfeiture or cancellation of unpaid or unvested Recoverable Compensation or Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as applicable);
(b)recoupment of the value of any or all Recoverable Compensation or Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as applicable) previously paid;
(c)not paying or granting future compensation or equity awards to the Covered Individual or the Executive Officer (as applicable); and
(d)any other remedial and recovery action permitted by applicable law.
