Alaris Announces Closing of Previously Announced Bought Deal Financing

CALGARY, Jan. 11, 2013 - Alaris Royalty Corp. (TSX:AD) ("Alaris" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced short-form prospectus offering of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation (the "Offering"), on a bought-deal basis, through a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters") led by Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited and including Cormark Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., National Bank Financial Inc. and Clarus Securities Inc.; resulting in gross proceeds of $54,142,000. The Offering consisted of 2,140,000 Common Shares issued at a price of $22.00 per Common Share as well as an over-allotment option which was exercised in full by the Underwriters, whereby they purchased an additional 321,000 Common Shares at the same price in order to cover over-allotments.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used to reduce the Corporation's indebtedness under its $50,100,000 credit facility (the "Facility") and for general corporate purposes. Giving effect to the recent corporate activity and the Facility repayment, Alaris is expecting to carry an undrawn balance on its Facility following the closing of this Offering.

This release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the offered securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
