Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (OR: TSX & NYSE) (the
"
Corporation" or "
Osisko") is
pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the
"
TSX") has approved the Corporation's notice of
intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "
NCIB
Program"). Under the terms of the NCIB Program, Osisko may
acquire up to 9,258,298 of its common shares ("
Common
Shares") from time to time in accordance with the normal
course issuer bid procedures of the TSX.
The NCIB Program will be conducted through the
facilities of the TSX or through alternative trading systems in
Canada, if eligible, and will conform to their regulations.
Purchases under the NCIB Program will be made by means of open
market transactions or such other means as a securities regulatory
authority may permit, including pre-arranged crosses, exempt offers
and private agreements under an issuer bid exemption order issued
by a securities regulatory authority.
Repurchases under the NCIB Program may commence
on December 12, 2023 and will terminate on December 11, 2024 or on
such earlier date as the NCIB Program is completed. Daily purchases
will be limited to 94,834 Common Shares, other than block purchase
exemptions, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of
the Common Shares on the TSX for the six-month period ending
November 30, 2023, being 379,338 Common Shares.
The price that the Corporation may pay for any
Common Share purchased in the open market under the NCIB Program
will be the prevailing market price at the time of purchase (plus
brokerage fees) and any Common Share purchased by the Corporation
will be cancelled. In the event that the Corporation purchases
Common Shares by pre-arranged crosses, exempt offers, block
purchases or private agreements, the purchase price of the Common
Shares may be, and will be in the case of purchases by private
agreements, as may be permitted by the securities regulatory
authority, at a discount to the market price of the Common Shares
at the time of the acquisition.
The board of directors of Osisko believes that
the underlying value of the Corporation may not be reflected in the
market price of the Common Shares from time to time and that,
accordingly, the purchase of Common Shares will increase the
proportionate interest in the Corporation of, and be advantageous
to, all remaining shareholders of the Corporation.
As of November 30, 2023, there were 185,165,964
Common Shares issued and outstanding. The 9,258,298 Common Shares
that may be repurchased under the NCIB Program represent
approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the
Corporation as of November 30, 2023, being 185,165,964
Common Shares.
Under the prior NCIB Program, the Corporation
received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 18,293,240 Common
Shares. Given the evolution of the Common Share price since the
implementation of the prior NCIB Program and the capital
requirement for acquisition of assets throughout the same period,
the Corporation concluded that no Common Share purchases were
warranted under the prior NCIB Program.
