Shareholders residing in the United States will receive the U.S. dollar equivalent based on the daily rate published by the Bank of Canada on December 29, 2023. The Company also reminds shareholders of its dividend reinvestment plan, allowing participation in the dividend through the reinvestment of shares. Shareholders interested in participating should contact their financial advisor or the Company's transfer agent for more information.

The recent announcement by Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd regarding its Q4 2023 dividend could have significant implications for new businesses in the precious metal royalty sector. The declaration of a dividend is a strong signal of a company's financial health and stability, which can attract investors and boost market confidence. This move by Osisko, an intermediate precious metal royalty company with a robust portfolio, could set a precedent for new businesses in the sector. It demonstrates the potential for profitability in the industry, which could encourage investment in new ventures. Additionally, Osisko's dividend reinvestment plan, which allows shareholders to participate in the dividend through the reinvestment of shares, could serve as a model for new businesses looking to retain and reward investors. However, it's important for new businesses to understand that declaring a dividend also comes with obligations and expectations. Once a company starts paying dividends, shareholders may expect regular payouts, which could put pressure on the company's cash flow. Therefore, new businesses must carefully consider their financial position and growth strategy before following in Osisko's footsteps.
