Insights

Equity Capital Markets Analyst

Osisko Development upsized its bought-deal to C$60 million, increasing committed capital for the Cariboo Gold Project construction.

Issuing three tranches under the LIFE Exemption and a concurrent private placement delivers aggregate gross proceeds of C$60,000,218 across flow-through and common shares, with approximately C$30 million intended for capital to construct the Cariboo Gold Project. The structure splits tax-advantaged flow-through shares and regular common shares, and the Concurrent Private Placement carries a statutory hold period of four months and one day while LIFE shares are not subject to a statutory hold period.

Key dependencies and risks include receipt of regulatory approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, closing on or about October 29, 2025 (and no later than 45 days from the Launch Release), and the company’s stated allocation of net proceeds to project construction. Monitor regulatory clearances, closing confirmation, and the firm allocation between flow-through and common proceeds; these items will clarify cash available for immediate pre-construction and capital work within the next ~3–6 weeks.

MONTREAL, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) ("Osisko Development" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, as a result of excess demand, it has entered into an amending agreement with the underwriters to increase the size of its previously announced "bought deal" financing to C$60 million (the "Amendment").

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Common Shares issued pursuant to the LIFE Offering and Concurrent Private Placement, being approximately C$30 million, to contribute to the capital required to construct the Cariboo Gold Project and related pre-construction activities.

In all other respects, the terms of the LIFE Offering, including the use of proceeds of the Flow-Through Shares, will remain as previously disclosed in the original news release of the Company dated October 8, 2025 and entitled "Osisko Development Announces C$30 Million Bought Deal LIFE Offering of National and BC Flow-Through Shares" (the "Launch Release").

Closing of the LIFE Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement are expected to occur on the same date, being on or about October 29, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), and remain subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing Date must occur no later than the 45th day following the date of the Launch Release on October 8, 2025.

The LIFE Offering will be made pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption available under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "LIFE Exemption") in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Common Shares under the LIFE Offering may also be offered, and the Flow-Through Shares may also be offered (or re-offered), in such offshore jurisdictions as may be agreed to by the Company and the underwriters pursuant to available prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises in connection with the sale of the Common Shares or the Flow-Through Shares in such other jurisdiction. The Common Shares and the Flow-Through Shares issued under the LIFE Exemption will not be subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Concurrent Private Placement will be conducted on a private placement basis pursuant to available exemptions under NI 45-106, other than the LIFE Exemption, in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, and in such offshore jurisdictions as may be agreed to by the Company and the underwriters pursuant to available prospectus or registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws provided that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises in connection with the sale of the Common Shares in such other jurisdiction.
