Cleantech Lithium

Results of Placing, PDMR Dealing and Total Voting Rights


CleanTech Lithium PLC ("CTL", "CleanTech Lithium" or the "Company"), an exploration and development company advancing lithium projects in Chile for the clean energy transition, is pleased to announce the results of the Placing announced on 8 October 2024, which was oversubscribed and scaled back.

Results of the Placing

The Placing raised gross proceeds of £2.5 million through the issue of 22,727,266 new ordinary shares ("Placing Shares") at an Issue Price of 11 pence per share. The net proceeds from the Placing will be applied to CTL's flagship project, Laguna Verde, and critical work programmes to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate for potential strategic partners to test, and for general working capital requirements.

The Placing Shares represent approximately 13.54 per cent. of the Company's enlarged ordinary share capital following the Admission of the Placing Shares to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM"). This has been a necessary interim fundraising as the Company pursues its dual listing on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX").

Related Party

As a part of the Placing and on the same terms as all other placees, Regal Funds1, which is currently interested in approximately 15 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital and therefore a Related Party under the AIM Rules, has agreed to subscribe for 1,727,272 Placing Shares. As such, Regal Funds participation is a Related Party Transaction for the purposes of Rule 13 of the AIM Rules. Accordingly, the Directors of the Company, all independent, consider, having consulted with Beaumont Cornish Limited, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the subscription by Regal Funds are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

1Regal Funds comprising Regal Funds Management Pty Limited and its associates (including Regal Partners Limited, of which Regal Funds Management Pty Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary) which act as trustee and investment advisor for certain funds

Directors Participation

Furthermore, Tommy McKeith, a director of the Company, has participated in the Placing by subscribing for 454,545 Placing Shares for an aggregate value of £50,000. Accordingly, Tommy McKeith is now interested in 909,091 Ordinary Shares representing 0.54 per cent. of the Company's enlarged ordinary share capital following the Admission of the Placing Shares.

Broker Warrants

In connection with the Placing 1,389,388 Broker Warrants have been issued exercisable at a price equal to the Issue Price up until five years from their date of grant, being the date of completion of the Placing.

Admission and Trading

The Placing remains conditional on the admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM becoming effective ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 14 October 2024.

Total voting rights

Following Admission, the Company will have a total of 167,889,592 Ordinary Shares in issue. With effect from Admission, this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the Company, under the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority. Words and expressions defined in the Company's announcement of 8 October 2024 shall have the same meaning in this announcement.

Steve Kesler, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of CleanTech Lithium Plc, commented:

"Thank you to all the investors that have supported CleanTech Lithium in the latest Placing. We are delighted to see the return of existing shareholders and welcome new shareholders who have shown, despite difficult market conditions, their confidence in the Company as we develop responsibly sourced lithium in Chile via Direct Lithium Extraction.

The new funds will be focused on the Laguna Verde project and producing battery-grade lithium carbonate for potential strategic partners as well as maintaining our active engagement with indigenous communities whilst we pursue the dual listing in Australia.

Investors will know we have been one of the most active companies in Chile using DLE to establish ourselves as a leading lithium explorer and developer. We are completely aligned to Chile's National Lithium Strategy which aims to forge public-private partnerships with sustainable technologies leading the way for lithium extraction in the country.

Our Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all the investors for providing the funding for the Company to meet our planned milestones over the coming months and so deliver value to all our stakeholders."

Committed to net-zero, CleanTech Lithium's mission is to produce material quantities of sustainable battery grade lithium products using Direct Lithium Extraction technology powered by renewable energy. The Company plans to be a leading supplier of 'green' lithium to the EV and battery manufacturing market.

CleanTech Lithium has two key lithium projects in Chile, Laguna Verde and Viento Andino, and hold licences in Llamara and Salar de Atacama, located in the lithium triangle, a leading centre for battery grade lithium production.

Rio Tinto to Acquire Arcadium for US$6.7 Billion in Major Lithium Push

In a landmark move, Rio Tinto ( ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) has sealed an all-cash deal to acquire US-based Arcadium Lithium (NYSE:ALTM,ASX:LTM) for US$6.7 billion. If successful, the deal will catapult Rio Tinto to become the third-largest lithium producer worldwide.

Following rumors that both companies were in talks for a possible acquisition, Rio Tinto announced that it is going all-in on the multi-billion sale. The deal, which is expected to close in mid-2025 pending approval by Arcadium's shareholders, values Arcadium at US$5.85 per share, 90 percent higher than its October 4 closing price of US$3.08.

Arcadium was established earlier this year following a US$10.6 billion merger between lithium majors Allkem and Livent, forming a vertically integrated company with global lithium operations spanning hard-rock mining, lithium brine extraction and chemical processing.

The company’s broad resource base, with assets across Argentina, Australia, Canada and the United States, made the acquisition a highly attractive prospect for Rio Tinto, as the purchase now positions the company for strategic growth in the case of an anticipated price rebound.
