NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

MONTRAL, Feb. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Development Corp. ("Osisko Development" or the "Company") (TSXV: ODV) is pleased to announce, further to its previously-announced "bought deal" private placement, that it has entered into an amended letter of engagement with Eight Capital, under which Eight Capital, acting as co-lead underwriter and joint bookrunner with BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. and National Bank Financial Inc., and on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Canaccord Genuity Corp., RBC Capital Markets, PI Financial Corp. and Desjardins Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"), has now agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" private placement basis, an aggregate of 20,225,000 subscription receipts of the Company (the "Subscription Receipts") and/or units of the Company (the "Units" and, together with the Subscription Receipts, the "Offered Securities") at a price of $4.45 per Offered Security (the "Issue Price"), for aggregate gross proceeds of $90,001,250 (the "Offering").

Each Unit will be 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 $7.60 per Common Share for a period of 60 months following the closing date of the Offering.
Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Condition (as defined below), and without payment of additional consideration, one Unit.

The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable in whole or in part up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional aggregate amount of 3,033,750 Subscription Receipts and/or Units at the Issue Price, for additional gross proceeds of up to $13,500,187.50.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Subscription Receipts, net of expenses of the Underwriters and 50% of the commissions payable to the Underwriters in respect of the Subscription Receipts, will be placed into escrow and will be released immediately prior to the completion of the Company's proposed acquisition of Tintic Consolidated Metals LLC ("Tintic"), as described in the press release of the Company dated January 25, 2022 (the "Tintic Acquisition") (the "Escrow Release Condition"). If the Escrow Release Condition is not satisfied prior to the date that is 90 days from the closing of the Offering, the escrowed proceeds of the Offering will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to advance the development of the Company's mineral assets, including the Cariboo Gold Project, the San Antonio Gold Project and properties held by Tintic assuming the completion of the Tintic Acquisition, and for general corporate purposes.

The closing date of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 2, 2022, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to applicable hold periods, including the typical four month hold period from the date of closing of the Offering.

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.
