Each Subscription Receipt entitles the holder thereof to receive, for no additional consideration and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, on or about the date that the RTO is completed, one common share of the Resulting Issuer after giving effect to a 60:1 consolidation of the common shares of Barolo (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share") and one-half-of-one warrant to purchase a Resulting Issuer Share (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Resulting Issuer Share for CDN $10.00 for an 18-month period following the closing of the RTO.
The gross proceeds of the Financing have been deposited with the TSX Trust Company, as escrow agent, and will be released to the Resulting Issuer upon the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions (if at all), including the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the RTO and conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to list the Resulting Issuer Shares issuable under the RTO and Financing, and certain other customary conditions (collectively, the "Escrow Release Conditions"). In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or prior to January 31, 2021, being the deadline to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, then the proceeds will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts shall be cancelled.
The Financing was conducted on a "bought deal" basis through a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc., and including BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Eight Capital, CIBC World Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), Inc., Desjardins Capital Markets, RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., Cormark Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc., Paradigm Capital Inc., PI Financial Corp., Raymond James Ltd., Sprott Capital Partners, TD Securities Inc., Clarus Securities Inc. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters").
For their services in connection with the completion of the Financing, upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts, the Underwriters will receive a cash commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Financing; provided that a reduced cash commission equal to 2.0% shall be payable to the Underwriters in respect of subscribers on the President’s List.
Insiders of the Osisko Royalties have subscribed for Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Financing. Any issuance of Subscription Receipts to an insider ("Insider Participation") will be considered to be a "related party transaction" (within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Osisko Royalties has relied on exemptions from the "formal valuation" and "minority approval" requirements of MI 61-101 in respect of any Insider Participation.
The Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a four-month hold period; provided, however, that (i) the Resulting Issuer Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts will be freely tradeable on the TSX Venture Exchange and not subject to any statutory hold period, and (ii) the Warrants issuable upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts will not be subject to any statutory hold period.
