Buy tech sell-off, Wedbush’s Ives says: ’this is a 1996 moment, not 1999’
MONTREAL - Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE:ODV, TSXV: ODV), with a market capitalization of $812 million and impressive 154% share price gain over the past six months, has expanded its previously announced "bought deal" financing to C$60 million due to excess demand, according to a press release statement issued Thursday.
The enlarged offering consists of a C$50 million LIFE offering and a C$10 million concurrent private placement. The LIFE offering includes three components: C$20 million in national flow-through shares priced at C$6.69 each, C$10 million in British Columbia flow-through shares at C$6.93 each, and C$20 million in common shares at C$4.78 each. According to InvestingPro data, the company operates with a moderate debt level, though its current ratio of 0.39 indicates short-term obligations exceed liquid assets.
Additionally, the company will issue 2,092,100 common shares at C$4.78 each in the concurrent private placement.
Osisko Development intends to use approximately C$30 million in net proceeds from the common shares to fund construction and pre-construction activities at its Cariboo Gold Project. The flow-through share proceeds will be used as previously disclosed in the company’s October 8 announcement.
Both offerings are expected to close around October 29, 2025, subject to regulatory approvals including conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and New York Stock Exchange.
The LIFE offering will be made under the listed issuer financing exemption available under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106, while the concurrent private placement will be conducted pursuant to available exemptions other than the LIFE exemption.
Osisko Development is focused on developing past-producing mining camps in North America, with its flagship Cariboo Gold Project in British Columbia as its primary asset. The company’s portfolio also includes the Tintic Project in Utah and the San Antonio Gold Project in Mexico. While analysts anticipate sales growth this year, InvestingPro analysis suggests the company is currently trading above its Fair Value, with 13 additional ProTips available to subscribers covering key financial metrics and market trends.
