Osisko Development may elect to increase the size of the Offering by issuing additional Subscription Receipts, subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Each Subscription Receipt issued pursuant to the Offering 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 of Osisko Development (each, a "Unit").

The gross proceeds of the Offering will be held in escrow pending, among other things, the completion of the listing of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange ("Escrow Release Condition"), which is contingent upon Osisko Development meeting the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and may involve, among other things, a consolidation of the Common Shares. If the Escrow Release Condition is met, Osisko Development anticipates that the proceeds of the Offering will be used to advance the development of Osisko Development's mineral assets and for general corporate purposes.

The Offering is subject to regulatory approvals, including conditional listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the Common Shares and Warrants. 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.
