Words such as "may", "will", "would", "could", "expect", "believe", "plan", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "continue", or the negative or comparable terminology, as well as terms usually used in the future and the conditional, are intended to identify forward‐looking statements. Information contained in forward‐looking statements, including with respect to the use of proceeds of the Offering and the business objectives of Osisko Development, is based upon certain material assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including management's perceptions of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, public disclosure from operators of the relevant mines, as well as other considerations that are believed to be appropriate in the circumstances. Osisko Development considers its assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, but cautions the reader that their assumptions regarding future events, many of which are beyond the control of Osisko Development, may ultimately prove to be incorrect since they are subject to risks and uncertainties that affect Osisko Development, and its business.

1 On May 4, 2022, the Common Shares were consolidated on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every three pre-consolidation Common Shares (the "Share Consolidation"). Accordingly, the number of Common Shares and Warrants issued upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts (which, for the avoidance of doubt, were issued prior to the Share Consolidation) has been adjusted to give effect to the Share Consolidation.
