Goldcorp has offered to acquire Osisko in an all-stock transaction. Based on the decline in Goldcorp's share price, the transaction now values Osisko at $5.80 per share, below the original offer price. For Osisko shareholders to see no dilution based on proven reserves, EBITDA, or measured resources, Goldcorp would need to increase its offer price to between $6.16-$10.30 per share. Morrison Park Advisors' analysis concludes the transaction would reduce Osisko shareholders' leverage to gold and dilute the value of Osisko's metal reserves and resources per share by 5-48% based on different valuation metrics.
2. Update Comments
Based on the 4% decline of Goldcorp’s share price since the date of the announcement, the terms of the offer now
value Osisko at $5.80 per share, $0.15 below the original offer.
Goldcorp needs to raise the offer price to at least $6.16/share (assuming cash portion stays the same) to eliminate
dilution to Osisko shareholders on the proven & probable (“P&P”) reserves as well as on the basis of the Last 12
Months (to September 30, 2013) EBITDA.
To remove dilution on the measured and indicated resources (including the P&P reserves), Goldcorp would need to
offer at least $8.62 per share (assuming cash portion stays the same).
On the basis of 3rd quarter annualized EBITDA, Goldcorp would have to raise price up to $10.30/share (again
assuming cash portion stays the same).

3. Original Analysis Summary
Morrison Park Advisors’ analysis of the transaction to acquire Osisko, as proposed by Goldcorp, concludes that it
would have the following impacts to the shareholders of Osisko from a financial point of view.
•
Reduced leverage to Gold
• Osisko shareholders will represent only 7% of Goldcorp after the transaction.
• Osisko’s metal content will go from 100% precious metals to only 78% precious metals and 22% base metals.
•
Reduced metal value per share
• At current commodity prices Osisko has Proven & Probable (P&P) reserves with a gross metal value of $26/share
• The P&P metal value would fall to $24/share pro-forma a transaction with Goldcorp representing 5% dilution to
Osisko shareholders.
• Measured & Indicated (M&I) resources (inclusive of P&P), currently have a gross metal value of $54/share.
• The P&P metal value would fall to $34/share pro-forma a transaction with Goldcorp representing 36% dilution to
Osisko shareholders.
•
Dilutive on an EBITDA basis
• On an attributable EBITDA per share basis (adjusting for debt net of cash), Osisko generated $0.51/share over the
12 months ending September 30, 2013.
• On a pro-forma basis, the transaction would reduce this to $0.48/share equating to 5% dilution for Osisko
shareholders.
• Alternatively, based on annualizing Osisko’s third quarter EBITDA, the company would generate $0.48/share on a
stand-alone basis.
• Pro-forma a Goldcorp transaction, Osisko shareholder’s would effectively be diluted to $0.25/share on an
annualized EBITDA basis reflecting 48% dilution.
