OSISKO DEVELOPMENT CLOSES FIRST TRANCHE OF PREVIOUSLY-ANNOUNCED
NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR GROSS PROCEEDS OF US$84.8 MILLION
Montréal, March 4, 2022 – Osisko Development Corp. ("Osisko Development" or the "Company")
(TSXV: ODV) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the first tranche of the Company's
previously-announced non-brokered privat e placement , pursuant to which a total of 24,215,099
subscription receipts of the Company (the "Subscription Receipts ") were issued at a price of
US$3.50 per Subscription Receipt , for gross proceeds of approximately US$84.8 million (the
"Offering"). The Company anticipates closing a second tranche of the Offering in late March 2022 ,
pursuant to which an additional up to US$ 25.5 million of Subscription Receipts may be issued to
accommodate additional interest for the Subscription Receipts.
Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to receive one unit of the Company (each, a
"Unit"), upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Relea se Conditions (as defined below), and without
payment of additional consideration. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company
(each, a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "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 the satisfaction of certain escrow
release conditions, including the completion of the listing of the Common Shares on the New York
Stock Exchange (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), which is contingent upon the Company meeting
the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (" NYSE") and may involve, among other
things, a consolidation of the Common Shares. If the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied on or
before June 15, 2022 (the "Escrow Release Deadline"), the escrowed funds will be released to the
Company. If the Escrow Release Conditions are 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
Conditions, or (b) the Escrow Release Conditions are 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
will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date hereof. The Offering is
subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities in the United States or any other jurisdiction. No securities may be offered or sold
in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer or sale would be unlawful
absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, or an exemption
therefrom or qualification under the securities laws of such other jurisdiction or an exemption
therefrom.
