Osisko Development Corp. (TSX-V: ODV) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the second tranche of the Company’s previously-announced non-brokered private placement, pursuant to which an additional 9,365,689 subscription receipts of the Company were issued at a price of US$3.50 per Subscription Receipt, for additional gross proceeds of approximately US$32.8 million.

The total size of the non-brokered private placement offering is approximately US$117.6 million, comprising:

• Tranche 1: US$84.8 million; closed on March 4, 2022
• Tranche 2: US$32.8 million; closed on March 29, 2022

Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to receive one unit of the Company, upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition, and without payment of additional consideration. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of US$6.00 per Common Share for a period of five years following the date of issue.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts will be held by TSX Trust Company, as subscription receipt agent, and released to the Company upon, among other things, the listing of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange, which is contingent upon the Company meeting the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and may involve, among other things, a consolidation of the Common Shares. If the Escrow Release Condition is satisfied on or before June 15, 2022, the escrowed funds will be released to the Company. If the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied on or prior to the Escrow Release Deadline or the Company publicly announces that (a) it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Condition, or (b) the Escrow Release Condition is incapable of being satisfied by the Escrow Release Deadline, the escrowed proceeds, together with interest earned thereon, will be returned on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Subscription Receipts, and the Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and have no further force and effect.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to advance the development of the Company’s mineral assets and for general corporate purposes. All securities issued under the offering are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issue pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. The offering remains subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Certain insiders of the Company have subscribed for an aggregate 92,200 Subscription Receipts under the offering for gross proceeds of US$322,700. Each subscription by an “insider” is considered to be a “related party transaction” for the purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation therein by each “related party” of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. Additionally, the Company is exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
