Osisko Gold Closes US$600 Million 9.250% Senior Secured Notes Offering
Osisko Gold Group Inc. has completed its previously announced offering of US$600 million aggregate principal amount of 9.250% senior secured notes due 2031. The notes mature on October 1, 2031, are non-callable for the first two years, and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, beginning April 1, 2027. Net proceeds were approximately US$578.0 million after deducting initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, with the initial purchasers buying the notes at 98.25% of principal. Of that net proceeds total, approximately US$120.8 million was used to repay all amounts outstanding and terminate all commitments under the company's senior secured credit facility with Appian Capital Advisory Limited, while the remainder funded a segregated interest reserve account covering the first five interest payments on the notes and a segregated disbursement account to advance the Cariboo Gold Project. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, including Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd., which holds the Cariboo Gold Project in British Columbia, and are secured by a first priority lien on the company's and each guarantor's property. Chairman and CEO Sean Roosen said the offering, alongside other available capital, fully funds the company through commercial production anticipated in 2029.
