Osisko Enhances Financial Flexibility by Improving Long-Term Debt Terms

30.07.2013  |  Marketwire
MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired - Jul 30, 2013) - Osisko Mining Corp. (the "Company" or "Osisko") (TSX:OSK) (FRANKFURT:EWX) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreements with CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. ("CPPIB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the CPPIB Investment Board, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("CDPQ") and Ressources Québec ("RQ"), a subsidiary of Investissement Québec, to modify certain terms of its long-term debt facilities.

The repayment schedule of the $150 million CPPIB facility and the $75 million convertible debentures has been rescheduled as per the following schedule:

($ million) CPPIB CDPQ RQ Total
2014 30.0 30.0
2015 40.0 40.0
2016 40.0 40.0
2017 40.0 37.5 37.5 115.0
150.0 37.5 37.5 225.0


The 12.5 million warrants held by CPPIB now expire on September 30, 2017, with an exercise price of the warrants of $6.25. The exercise of the warrants may be accelerated at the Company's option if the Osisko shares trade at a price above $8.15 for 20 consecutive days. The $100 million delayed drawdown facility established in May 2012 with CPPIB will no longer be required.

The debentures held by CDPQ and RQ will now become due in November 2017. The debentures will be convertible into Osisko shares at any time prior to the due date at the price of $6.25 per share (previously $9.18).

The CPPIB credit facility and the convertible debenture will bear a fixed rate of interest of 6.875%, compared to 7.5% previously.

The agreements are conditional on finalization of documentation to the satisfaction of all parties, obtaining the necessary regulatory authorizations and on payment of customary fees, which are expected to be all completed within the next 30 days.

Sean Roosen, President and Chief Executive Officer, commenting on the modifications to the various credit agreements: "We are pleased with the enhanced flexibility and the confidence received from our financial partners, which will allow us to continue to develop Osisko as a leading intermediate gold producer".
