TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 26, 2017) -

All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI)(NYSE:AGI) ("Alamos" or the "Company") today announced that it has entered into an amended agreement with a syndicate of underwriters led by TD Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets and Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., pursuant to which they have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 31,450,000 common shares of the Company at a price of US$7.95 per common share (the "Offering Price"), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$250 million (the "Offering"). The Offering will now be offered publicly in all provinces of Canada. The underwriters will also have the option, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 4,717,500 common shares at the Offering Price to cover over-allotments, if any. In the event that the option is exercised in its entirety, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering to the Company will be approximately US$288 million.

The Company intends on using the net proceeds of the Offering and existing cash to repay all of its outstanding US$315 million senior secured 7.75% high yield notes maturing 2020. Upon completion of the Offering and application of the proceeds from the Offering, the Company will be debt-free with approximately US$200 million in cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, and, including borrowings available under its revolving credit facility, the Company will have approximately US$350 million in available liquidity.

The common shares will be issued by way of a short form prospectus that will be filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in the United States under the multijurisdictional disclosure system. Alamos will file an amended and restated preliminary short form prospectus in respect of the Offering in all provinces of Canada and a registration statement (including the preliminary short form prospectus) with the SEC to which this communication and the offering relate. The common shares may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 9, 2017, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
