Osisko Green Acquisition Limited (TSX: "
GOGR" and
"
GOGR.WT") ("
Osisko Green" or the
"
Corporation") announced today that it is seeking
an extension to its permitted timeline, from September 8, 2023 to
March 8, 2024, to extend the date by which Osisko Green has to
consummate a qualifying transaction (the "
Proposed
Extension").
A special meeting (the
"Meeting") of the holders (the "Class A
Restricted Voting Shareholders") of Class A Restricted
Voting Shares of Osisko Green (the "Class A Restricted
Voting Shares") is scheduled to be held at 10:00 a.m.
(Toronto time) on August 31, 2023 at 3400 One First Canadian Place,
100 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5X 1A4. In
connection with the Meeting, the Class A Restricted Voting
Shareholders are being provided with the opportunity to deposit for
redemption all or a portion of their Class A Restricted Voting
Shares, irrespective of whether such holders vote for or against,
or do not vote on, the Extension Resolution (as defined below),
provided that they deposit (and do not subsequently validly
withdraw) their Class A Restricted Voting Shares for redemption
prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 24, 2023.
At the Meeting, Class A Restricted Voting
Shareholders will be asked:
- To consider,
and if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without variation, an
ordinary resolution in respect of the Proposed Extension (the
"Extension Resolution"), the full text of which is
set forth in Appendix "A" of Osisko Green's management information
circular dated July 27, 2023 (the "Circular");
and
- To transact
such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any
adjournment or postponement thereof.
All voting at the Meeting will be by a show of
hands, unless a ballot is required or demanded. In case of a vote
by a show of hands, each Class A Restricted Voting Shareholder
present in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote. If a ballot
is taken, each Class A Restricted Voting Shareholder present in
person or by proxy is entitled to the number of votes that are
attached to the Class A Restricted Voting Shares which such person
is entitled to vote at the Meeting.
The Corporation has established certain
investment criteria and guidelines as part of its process of
evaluating potential targets for its qualifying transaction. The
Corporation believes that it has identified a number of promising
targets and is currently evaluating the business of these
prospective targets and engaging in active discussions with an aim
towards announcing an exciting qualifying transaction for the
Corporation's securityholders in the near future.
Upon the requisite approval of the Extension
Resolution (which requires approval by both the Class A Restricted
Voting Shareholders and the board of directors of the Corporation)
and, subject to applicable law, the Corporation will be required to
redeem such Class A Restricted Voting Shares so deposited for
redemption at an amount per share (the "Class A Extension
Redemption Price"), payable in cash, equal to: (A) the
pro-rata portion (per Class A Restricted Voting Share) of: (i) the
escrowed funds available in the escrow account at the time of the
Meeting in respect of the extension, including any interest and
other amounts earned thereon, less (ii) an amount equal to the
total of (a) any applicable taxes payable by the Corporation on
such interest and other amounts earned in the escrow account, and
(b) actual and expected expenses directly related to the redemption
(and for greater certainty, such amount will not be reduced by the
deferred underwriting commission per Class A Restricted Voting
Share held in the escrow account), as reasonably determined and
certified by the Corporation, less (B) any taxes of the Corporation
(including under Part VI.1 of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (as
reasonably determined by the Corporation) arising in connection
with the redemption of the applicable Class A Restricted Voting
Shares divided by the number of shares being redeemed. For
illustrative purposes, as of the date hereof, the estimated Class A
Extension Redemption Price is between $10.00 and $10.31 per Class A
Restricted Voting Share. The remainder of the escrow funds shall
remain in the escrow account and be available for use by the
Corporation to complete the consummation of a qualifying
transaction.
Holders who have deposited their Class A
Restricted Voting Shares for redemption may by written notice (to
the Corporation or the applicable CDS Participant (as defined in
the Circular), as applicable) withdraw all or a portion of such
Class A Restricted Voting Shares at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.
(Toronto time) on September 6, 2023 or the deadline of the
applicable CDS Participant (which may be an earlier date). Please
refer to the Circular for a full description of the mechanics to
deposit Class A Restricted Voting Shares for redemption and/or the
withdrawal of shares deposited for redemption.
Holders of Class A Restricted Voting Shares who
do not redeem their Class A Restricted Voting Shares will retain
their redemption rights and their ability to vote on any proposed
qualifying transaction.
The record date for the determination of
registered holders of Class A Restricted Voting Shares of the
Corporation entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the
Meeting is the close of business on July 24, 2023.
The Circular being sent to Class A Restricted
Voting Shareholders contains a detailed description of the Proposed
Extension, the Extension Resolution and other information relating
to Osisko Green. Osisko Green urges Class A Restricted Voting
Shareholders to consider carefully all of the information in the
Circular.
Class A Restricted Voting Shareholders who have
any questions or need additional information with respect to the
voting of their Class A Restricted Voting Shares should consult
their financial, legal, tax or other professional advisors.
