been an important player in the Canadian mining business, and a key contributor in the development of
significant mining operations in the province of Québec. Mr. Coates has been President of Osisko since

billion. Previously, Mr. Coates was Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Osisko Mining
Corporation from 2007 to 2014, as a core part of the team that built the world -class Canadian Malartic

While stepping down as President of the Company, Mr. Coates will continue to serve Osisko as an
advisor for Québec affairs and Québec government relations, and to complete work on specific projects.
Sean Roosen, Chair and CEO noted, "Bryan has been part of the fabric of Osisko since 2007, and has
helped the team define, permit, finance, build and operate one of the biggest and best gold mines in
Canada. After the sale of Osisko Mining Corporation, his leadership helped build a royalty and streaming
platform that has tripled in size in just five years. As a trusted advisor, he will continue to work with us
on important Québec projects including Falco and Stornoway and will undoubtedly continue to impact
the broader mining sector in many positive ways."

at Osisko. Sandeep has been our trusted financial advisor for well over a decade, in cluding when we
formed Osisko Gold Royalties and is well known and respected within our industry, by our Board, our
management team and our stakeholders. A bilingual native of Québec, he has a vision for value creation

the initiatives. As co -founder of Maxit, he was instrumental in building and managing a team of
professionals and managing an independent and entrepreneurial an d highly successful investment
business. Mr. Roosen continued: "I have known and worked closely with Sandeep over the past 15
years and have great respect for his abilities. We have significant initiatives in progress and I am excited

ability to build and foster relationships and general business acumen. I look forward to working with him
on our strategic planning, vision and growth, bringing Osisko Gold Royalties to the next level for our
shareholders."

mainly from tier one jurisdictions, is not getting the recognition it deserves. I look forward to working with
Sean, the Board and the entire team to unlock the inherent value in the portfolio and continue the work
of building a great company. I am honoured to be succeeding Bryan, whom I have worked with very
closely on numerous successful transactions over the years. He will be invaluable in his continuing role
as an advisor to myself and the Company. I am also incredibly proud of the firm we have created at
Maxit, and leave with the certainty that it is in good hands with the partners in place."
