OSISKO INCREASES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Declares Twelfth Consecutive Quarterly Dividend
(Montreal, August 3, 2017) Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd ("Osisko" or the "Company") (TSX:OR)
(NYSE:OR) is pleased to declare a third quarter 2017 dividend of C$0.05 per common share. This third
quarter dividend payment represents a 25% increase from the previous quarterly dividend of C $0.04
per common share. The dividend will be paid on October 16, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the
close of business on September 30, 2017.
For shareholders residing in the United States, the U.S. dollar equivalent will be determined based on
the daily rate published by the Bank of Canada on September 30, 2017. This dividend is an "eligible
dividend" as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).
Sean Roosen, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are pleased to announce our twelfth
consecutive quarterly dividend, but most importantly our second dividend increase since the creation of
our Company only 3 years ago. The continued strong performance of our portfolio of assets and further
growth enables us to maintain a strong capital position and concurrently return capital to shareholders.”
The Company also wishes to remind its shareholders registered in Canada that it has implemented a
dividend reinvestment plan (the “Plan”). Shareholders who are residents of Canada may elect to
participate in the Plan in connection with the dividend to be paid on October 16, 2017 to shareholders
on record as of September 30, 2017. If a shareholder elects to participate in the Plan, the Company will
issue to the shareholder, in lieu of a cash dividend, common shares from treasury at a 3% discount to
the weighted average price of the common shares during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding
the dividend payment date. Participation in the Plan is optional and will not affect a shareholders’ cash
dividends if the shareholder elects not to participate in the Plan. Quarterly dividends are only payable
as and when declared by Osisko’s Board of Directors.
A complete copy of the P lan and the enrolment form are available on Osisko’s website at

before making any decisions regarding their participation in the Plan.
Non-registered beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the Plan should contact their financial
advisor, broker, investment dealer, bank or other financial institution that holds their common shares to
inquire about the applicable enrolment deadl ine and to request enrolment in the Plan. For more
information on how to enroll or any other inquiries, contact the Agent at 1- 800-387-0825 (toll-free in
Canada) or [email protected].
Participation in the Plan does not relieve shareholders of any liability for taxes that may be payable in
respect of dividends that are reinvested in common shares under the Plan. Shareholders should consult
their tax advisors concerning the tax implications of their participation in the Plan having regard to their
particular circumstances.
