The policy raises the bar for activist shareholders to seek reimbursement of proxy contest or litigation costs, effectively entrenching the board. Monitor for any activist response or shareholder proposal to amend/repeal the policy. The resumption of NYSE trading on July 8 is a separate administrative event with no material financial read-through.

Executive Summary
Scully Royalty Ltd. adopted a Policy on Shareholder Reimbursements and Payments, effective July 11, 2026, which broadly prohibits the company from reimbursing shareholder costs (e.g., proxy contests, director nominations, litigation) without a 75% supermajority vote excluding the interested shareholder. The policy includes anti-circumvention provisions and requires 60-day public disclosure before any amendment or repeal. This is a governance entrenchment measure that raises the bar for activist shareholders to seek reimbursement, but has no immediate financial impact on operations or earnings.
