OSK Osisko Mining Inc

Osisko Mining Inc. ("Osisko") (TSX:OSK) is pleased to announce that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") and Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), two leading independent proxy advisory firms that provide voting recommendations to institutional investors, have each recommended that shareholders of Osisko (the "Shareholders") vote FOR the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Osisko (the "Shares" and each, a "Share") by Gold Fields Limited, through its 100% owned Canadian subsidiary (the "Purchaser"), by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement"). Shareholders will be asked to vote on the Arrangement at the upcoming special meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") scheduled to be held on October 17, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time).

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.

Two independent proxy advisory firms – ISS and Glass Lewis – have recommended that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.

In its recommendation, ISS noted that the Consideration represents a significant premium to the price of the Shares prior to the announcement of the Arrangement, that the valuation of Osisko appears credible, and that the board of the directors of Osisko engaged in a robust process in reviewing the proposal from the Purchaser.

On the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board of Directors of Osisko unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement.
