Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd Provides Corporate Updates on Previously-announced Spin-out Transaction and Formation of "Osisko Development Corp."
MONTRÉAL, Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd ("Osisko Royalties") (OR: TSX & NYSE) and Barolo Ventures Corp. ("Barolo") (BVC.H: TSX-V) are pleased to provide certain corporate updates on their previously-announced spin-out transaction, further to their joint news release dated October 5, 2020, which will result in a "Reverse Take-Over" of Barolo (the "RTO") under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). In this news release, references to the "Resulting Issuer" or "Osisko Development" are to Barolo after the closing of the RTO.
Execution of Definitive Amalgamation Agreement
On October 23, 2020, a definitive amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") in respect of the RTO was executed among Osisko Royalties, Barolo, Osisko Development Holdings Inc. ("Osisko Subco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osisko Royalties incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barolo ("Barolo Subco").
The Amalgamation Agreement provides for, among other things, a three-cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") pursuant to which (i) Osisko Subco will amalgamate with Barolo Subco under Section 269 of the BCBCA to form one corporation ("Amalco"), (ii) the securityholders of Osisko Subco will receive securities of the Resulting Issuer in exchange for their securities of Osisko Subco, (iii) Amalco will be merged into Barolo (by way of a voluntary dissolution) to form the Resulting Issuer, and (iv) the transactions will result in a RTO of Barolo in accordance with the policies of the Exchange, all in the manner contemplated by, and pursuant to, the terms and conditions of the Amalgamation Agreement.
Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, the common shares of Barolo ("Barolo Shares") outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Amalgamation will be consolidated on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Barolo Share for each sixty (60) pre-consolidation Barolo Shares (the "Consolidation") and the name of Resulting Issuer will be changed to "Osisko Development Corp.". Completion of the proposed RTO is subject to, among other things, receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.
The Amalgamation Agreement was negotiated at arm's length between representatives of Osisko Royalties and Barolo.
Closing of Subscription Receipt Financing
Concurrent with the announcement of the RTO, Osisko Royalties and Barolo entered into an engagement letter dated October 5, 2020 with Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc., on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to sell, on a "bought deal" private placement basis, 13,350,000 subscription receipts of Osisko Subco (the "Subscription Receipts") at a subscription price of CDN $7.50 per Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of CDN $100 million (the "Financing").
The Financing is expected to close tomorrow, October 29, 2020, with the gross proceeds of the Financing to be held in escrow pending the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, which include the satisfaction of the conditions to the closing of the RTO, the conditional approval of the TSX-V to list the common shares of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Shares") issuable under the RTO and Financing, and certain other customary conditions. It is expected that the net proceeds from the Financing will primarily be used for the exploration and development of the Cariboo Gold Project and the San Antonio Gold Project, and general working capital purposes following completion of the RTO.
