Osisko Development Closes First Tranche of Previously-Announced Non-Brokered Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of US$84.8 Million
March 04 2022 - 8:39AM
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 private 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
Release 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.

Development to make certain assumptions and necessarily involve
known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in
these forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are
not guarantees of performance. Words such as "may", "will",

the NYSE and satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions (if at all), the
timing and ability of Osisko Development to obtain all necessary
