MONTREAL, June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) ("Osisko Development" or the "Company") announced today the closing on May 29, 2026 of an additional US$75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% convertible senior notes due 2031 (the "Notes"), consisting of US$25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the full exercise of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes from the Company's previously announced offering (the "Initial Purchasers' Option") and US$50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes sold in a concurrent private placement (the "Private Placement") with Double Zero Capital, LP ("Double Zero") (the "Double Zero Notes"). Together with the Company's closing of its offering of US$225.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes in a private placement on May 26, 2026 (the "Base Offering," and collectively with the Initial Purchasers' Option and the Private Placement, the "Offerings") total gross proceeds from the Offerings were US$300.0 million.

Sean Roosen, Chairman & CEO, noted: "We're very pleased to have executed on this opportunistic and strategic capital markets transaction, which we believe provides several key benefits to shareholders. By accessing senior unsecured capital at an attractive 4.125% coupon, we're able to bolster our balance sheet to support the development of the Cariboo Gold Project, fund continued pre-construction activities and accelerate momentum toward a final investment decision, while preserving meaningful financial and operational execution flexibility. To mitigate potential dilution impacts, we also entered into cash-settled capped call transactions that are structured to deliver the net effect of increasing the effective conversion premium price on the Notes from 25% to 100%, or double our share price immediately prior to announcement. The covenant-light and lower-cost structure provides an efficient source of capital relative to other traditional project financing alternatives, and carries no project-level security, completion tests, or restrictive financial constraints. Importantly, the Notes also provide flexible settlement mechanics, allowing for settlement in cash, shares, or combination thereof, at our election, as well as the ability to redeem the Notes early after three years, under certain conditions. These features provide additional flexibility to manage our capital structure over time as we continue to de-risk the Cariboo Gold Project.

We are also very pleased with the strong participation from a broad new group of institutional investors, including some of the world’s largest asset managers, which is expected to further enhance our market and liquidity profile, together with the continued support from our largest shareholder, Double Zero. We view this transaction as a strong endorsement of the Company's unique value proposition and an important step in enhancing our strategic flexibility as we continue to advance Canada’s next underground gold development project. With a significantly strengthened balance sheet, we are well funded to advance planned activities, including extensive infill and exploration drilling, with our focus firmly on project execution. We believe the next few years represent an exciting new chapter for Osisko Development, and we look forward to sharing future updates on our progress.”

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offerings will be approximately US$290.0 million, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses, but before deducting the cost of capped call transactions entered into with certain financial institutions in connection with the Offerings. The net proceeds are intended to be used to pay for the cost the capped call transactions, for the development of the Cariboo Gold Project and general corporate purposes. The purchase price of the capped call transactions was approximately US$40.2 million.

Transaction Highligths & Rationale

Successful overnight execution – US$300.0 million in total gross proceeds from the Offerings of convertible senior notes due 2031, executed through confidential marketing followed by overnight execution, mitigating market risk and pricing off an unaffected price level.
Provides immediate access to capital for project development – Net proceeds of approximately US$290.0 million (approximately US$250.0 million net of capped call purchase) provide the Company with immediate access to capital to advance the Cariboo Gold Project, supporting continued development activities and accelerating momentum toward a final investment decision.
Capped call mitigates potential dilution – The purchase of cash-settled capped call derivative contracts is expected to offset potential economic dilution up to approximately US$5.88 per Common Share (as defined below), equivalent to a 100% effective conversion premium.
Optimizing project cost of capital – The annual coupon of 4.125% represents a materially lower cost of capital relative to most traditional project finance credit facilities, and carries no project-level security, completion tests, restrictive covenants or constraints, preserving maximum execution flexibility.
Flexible settlement and redemption options – The Company retains discretion to settle the Notes in cash, Common Shares or a combination thereof, as well as the ability to redeem the Notes early on or after June 20, 2029 if the Common Shares trade above approximately US$4.78 per Common Share (representing 130% of the conversion price) for a period specified in the indenture governing the Notes, subject to satisfaction of a liquidity condition and certain other conditions. The Company may also redeem the Notes upon the occurrence of certain changes to the laws governing withholding taxes, subject to certain conditions.
Broadened market profile and support from largest shareholder – Strong participation from a broad new investor group, including some of the world's largest asset managers, highlighting the Company's unique value proposition and improving its market visibility and liquidity profile. Double Zero's US$50.0 million participation in the Private Placement provides a strong continued endorsement from the Company's largest shareholder.
Improved strategic flexibility – The transaction strengthens the Company's balance sheet while preserving optionality around project execution.
