/CNW/ - Allied Gold Corporation (TSX: AAUC) (NYSE: AAUC) ("Allied" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce pricing and terms of its previously announced overnight
marketed underwritten offering (the "Offering") of 6,400,000 common shares (each a "Share") of the
Company (the "Offered Shares") at a public offering price of
C$27.35
per share for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately
C$175,000,000
.
Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc. are acting as
joint bookrunners (the "Joint Bookrunners"), on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters made up of
CIBC World Markets and Cormark Securities Inc. (collectively, together with the Joint Bookrunners,
the "Underwriters"). The Company has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-
Allotment Option") exercisable, in whole or in part, in the sole discretion of the Underwriters, to
purchase up to an additional 15% of the number of Shares sold in the Offering for up to 30 days
from and including the closing date of the Offering, on the same terms and conditions as the Offering
for market stabilization purposes and to cover any over-allotments, if any.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about October 24, 2025, and will be subject to
the completion of formal documentation and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals,
including approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to i) fund its optimization and growth
initiatives particularly to accelerate development of infrastructure for the next phase of expansion at
Sadiola which includes improvements in processing capacity and acceleration of the implementation
of certain components of the recently announced energy program, ii) modify the plant under
development at Kurmuk to increase average processing capacity for higher levels of production, iii)
begin the transition to owner mining at one or more operations, and iv) general corporate purposes
to take advantage of corporate and asset-based opportunities which may arise from time to time.
The Company considers that pursuing some or all of these initiatives at this time improves efficiency,
productivity and profitability. With respect to corporate and asset-based opportunities, these would
mostly be cash flow generating in respect of which the Company prefers to use available cash rather
than shares as much as possible. Any unused proceeds will be allocated to general corporate
purposes.
The Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the
Company's short form base shelf prospectus dated
October 1, 2024
(the "Base Shelf Prospectus")
to be filed in each of the provinces of
Canada
, and may be offered in
the United States
on a private
placement basis by way of a confidential offering memorandum pursuant to certain exemptions from
the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S.
Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws, and on a private placement basis in certain
other jurisdictions outside of
Canada
and
the United States
pursuant to applicable prospectus
exemptions. Such documents contain or will contain important information about the Offering. This
news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there
be any sale of the Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.
Upon the signing of the Underwriting Agreement, the Prospectus Supplement will be filed and
available on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca
. Alternatively, the Prospectus Supplement and the
accompanying Base Shelf Prospectus may be obtained free of charge upon request by contacting

North Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2200,
Toronto, Ontario

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares in
the United States
. The Shares have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities
Act, and may not be offered or sold in
the United States
absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.
