Any repurchases under the NCIB Program will be made in Canada through the facilities of the TSX or alternative trading platforms or by such other means permitted by the TSX. Osisko will pay the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. The actual number of Common Shares repurchased under the NCIB Program and the timing of such repurchases will be at Osisko's discretion and shall be subject to the limitations set out in the TSX Company Manual.

The board of directors of Osisko believes that the underlying value of the Corporation may not be reflected in the market price of the Common Shares from time to time and that, accordingly, the purchase of Common Shares will increase the proportionate interest in the Corporation of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders of the Corporation.

As of December 1, 2017, there were 157,024,383 Common Shares issued and outstanding, and the Corporation had a public float of 105,674,419 Common Shares.

The Corporation purchased 150,000 Common Shares at an average price of $12.15 per Common Share under its prior normal course issuer bid program, which ended on October 23, 2017.
