INVESTORS AND MEDIA In the news
Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko") (TSX:OSK) announces that Northern Star Resources Limited ("Northern Star") has elected to convert its $154 million of convertible senior unsecured debenture due December 1, 2025 (the "Debentures") for 38,500,000 common shares of Osisko (the "Shares") at a price of $4.00 per Share.
Northern Star has elected to convert the Debenture for Shares to participate in the Arrangement (as defined herein) as a shareholder of Osisko. The Arrangement was previously announced on August 12, 2024, pursuant to which, among other things, Gold Fields Holdings Company Limited, through a 100% owned Canadian subsidiary, Gold Fields Windfall Holdings Inc. ("Gold Fields"), agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Shares of Osisko (the "Arrangement").
The Shares issued to Northern Star upon the conversion of the Debentures were issued subsequent to the record date for the Special Meeting (as defined herein) and are therefore not eligible to vote on the Arrangement at the Special Meeting.
Special Meeting to Approve Arrangement
Osisko has called a special meeting of its shareholders (the "Special Meeting"), scheduled to be held on October 17, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time), where shareholders of Osisko will be asked to vote on the Arrangement.
Under the terms of the Arrangement, each shareholder will be entitled to receive C$4.90 (the "Consideration") per Share upon completion of the Arrangement. The Consideration represents an approximate 55% premium to the 20?day volume weighted average trading price per Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the period ending August 9, 2024, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement.

The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP located at One First Canadian Place, 100 King Street West, Suite 3400, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5X 1A4.
