Lithium ION Energy Ltd (TSXV: ION) (OTCQB: IONGF) (FSE: ZA4) ("ION" or the "Company") announces today that it intends to extend the expiry date of an aggregate 11,500,000 outstanding common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "April Warrants") by 12 months to April 12, 2025 and an aggregate 4,000,000 outstanding common share purchase warrants of the Company (the "July Warrants" and collectively with the April Warrants, the "Warrants") by 12 months to July 20, 2025 (collectively with the extension of April Warrants, the "Extension").

The April Warrants were issued pursuant to a public offering which closed on April 13, 2021 and are set to expire on April 12, 2024. The April Warrants were issued pursuant to a warrant indenture dated April 13, 2021 between the Company and TSX Trust and each April Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of CAD $0.70. The July Warrants were issued pursuant to a non-brokered private placement which closed on July 20, 2023 and are set to expire on July 20, 2024. Each July Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of CAD $0.40.

The Company believes that the extension of the Warrants is reasonable and ‎necessary in the context of the overall market, as it increases the likelihood that any additional cash needs of the Company could be financed through the exercise of the Warrants.

The Extension remains subject to receipt of approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
