Alamos Gold Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Press Release

TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2018 — Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today announced that it has filed with and received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), for a Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid permitting Alamos to purchase for cancellation up to 25,513,043 Class A Common Shares (“Common Shares”), representing 10% of the Company’s public float of the Common Shares as of December 14, 2018, being 255,130,432 Common Shares. As at December 14, 2018, there were 391,248,754 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Alamos may purchase Common Shares under the Normal Course Issuer Bid over the next twelve-month period beginning December 24, 2018 and ending December 23, 2019. Any purchases made under the Normal Course Issuer Bid will be effected through the facilities of the TSX, alternative Canadian trading systems and/or the New York Stock Exchange. The maximum number of Common Shares that Alamos may purchase on the TSX on a daily basis, other than block purchase exceptions, is 191,200 Common Shares.

The price for any repurchased Common Shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of the purchase. All Common Shares purchased by Alamos will be cancelled. Purchase and payment for the Common Shares will be made by Alamos in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and applicable securities laws.

A Normal Course Issuer Bid is being undertaken as the Company and its Board of Directors believe the share price of its Common Shares from time to time to be not reflective of the underlying value of the Company. The Company believes it advantageous to its shareholders to engage in repurchases of Common Shares, from time to time, when they are trading at prices which reflect a discount from their value by increasing the proportionate share of ownership of the Company to remaining shareholders. Alamos has not purchased any of the Common Shares in the preceding twelve months.
