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

(Toronto, June 23, 2020) – Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX:OSK) (“Osisko” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the completion of its previously-announced “bought deal” brokered private placement of an aggregate of 48,500,000 units of the Corporation (the “Units”) at a price of C$3.65 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$177 million, including the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option (the “Offering”).

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Corporation for 18 months from the closing of the Offering at a price of C$5.25, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

The net proceeds received from the Offering will be used to advance the Corporation’s Windfall Project as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Eight Capital, as co-lead underwriters, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters that included BMO Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., CIBC Capital Markets, Beacon Securities Limited, Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and Industrial Alliance Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). In consideration for their services, the Corporation paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding certain President’s List subscribers.

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 Toronto Stock Exchange. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States of America. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

The following “insiders” of the Corporation have subscribed for Units under the Offering:

Each subscription by an “insider” is considered to be a “related party transaction” for purposes of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing date of the Offering as the details of the Offering and the participation therein by each “related party” of the Corporation were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the Offering, and the Corporation wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Corporation is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements available under MI 61-101. The Corporation is exempt from the formal valuation requirement in section 5.4 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization. Additionally, the Corporation is exempt from minority shareholder approval requirement in section 5.6 of MI 61-101 in reliance on section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, is not more than the 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization.
