NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Terra Nova Royalty Corporation (NYSE: TTT) (the "Company") will distribute approximately 6,257,039 shares (the "KID Shares") of KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG ("KID"), representing approximately 19.3% of the total issued KID Shares, by way of a pro-rata return of capital (the "Distribution") to the Company's shareholders. The Distribution will be:

• made to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2010 (the "Record Date");
• on the basis of one KID Share for every ten common shares of the Company held at the Record Date (no fractional shares will be issued and amounts will be rounded to the nearest whole number); and
• tax-free to the Company and not subject to Canadian withholding tax for shareholders.

This Distribution will complete the distribution of KID Shares by the Company to its shareholders.

The Distribution

Pursuant to the Distribution, each holder of record as of the Record Date will receive one KID Share for every ten common shares of the Company held at such date. No fractional KID Shares or interests therein will be issued and the amount of KID Shares to be distributed will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

The KID Shares can only be received in electronic form through Clearstream or Euroclear, a security depository and the principal clearing house for the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

In order to receive their pro rata share of the Distribution, shareholders or their broker or nominee will be required to have a Clearstream or Euroclear eligible account. Computershare Trust Company N.A. ("Computershare")will be the distribution agent for the Distribution. Computershare has agreed to provide access to a Clearstream or Euroclear eligible custodian account for registered shareholders who are United States persons and who do not have access to a Clearstream or Euroclear eligible account. Registered shareholders who are United States persons whose KID Shares have been deposited into this account can provide instructions to Computershare in the event that they wish to transfer their KID Shares and Computershare will carry out such instructions.

Depository Trust Company and CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. participants and registered shareholders, who are not US Persons, will be required to provide instructions to Computershare as to the deposit of their shares in a Clearstream or Euroclear eligible account. The KID Shares of such shareholders will be retained by the Company in its own custodian's Clearstream or Euroclear eligible account until such instructions are delivered to Computershare.

The KID Shares of non-registered shareholders who own the Company's common shares through a broker or other nominee, will either be: (i) deposited into such Clearstream or Euroclear eligible account as their broker or nominee has instructed Computershare; or (ii) if no such instructions have been provided by the broker or nominee, retained by the Company. In such event, such non-registered shareholder will have to have a broker or nominee contact the Company in the event that such non-registered shareholder wishes to transfer the KID Shares. Non-registered shareholders should contact their brokerage firm for further information.

Further materials respecting the Distribution will be mailed to shareholders shortly after the record date. Such materials will include forms to be used by registered shareholders to designate a Clearstream or Euroclear eligible account for the deposit of their KID Shares.
