Video: Market update – October 2024
The CEO of Eurobattery Minerals, Roberto García Martínez, was interviewed and presented a market update in a video published on 30 October 2024. In the video, which is directed to shareholders, potential investors and other stakeholders, a summary was presented regarding the work carried out in the Finnish battery mineral project Hautalampi during 2024, the Spanish Castriz project in Corcel and the planned development for the near future. The video is available on Eurobattery Minerals´ YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-PVL8VBjyI, and issue website, https://investors.eurobatteryminerals.com/en/rights-issue-2024-2/.

“We have been very active since 2020, when we acquired the Hautalampi battery mineral project, and we just finalised the full acquisition a couple of months ago. We have achieved many milestones over the last years, including applying for the environmental permit which we submitted to the authorities a couple of months ago. Additionally, we have been working closely with the Finnish authorities to monitor our environmental processes. In August, we applied to categorise the project as a European Strategic Project under the new Critical Raw Materials Act. And just a few weeks ago, we closed on a non-binding agreement with Boliden, a large mining group, which poised to buy the entire copper concentrate production from Hautalampi. All these achievements probably make this project one of the most important projects in the Scandinavian countries in decades,” commented the CEO about the Hautalampi project.

The Extraordinary General resolved, inter alia, to approve the board of directors' resolution on a rights issue of units and other related proposals, as well as an over-allotment issue and to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on new issuances. Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and complete proposals for resolutions taken are available on the Company's website, www.eurobatteryminerals.com.

Rights issue and related resolutions

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to approve the Board of Directors’ resolution on a rights issue of not more than 50,744,017 units with preferential rights for the Company's existing shareholders with a subscription price of SEK 0.70 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.10 per share (the "Rights Issue"). The warrants of series TO6 are issued free of charge. Each unit consists of seven (7) shares and four (4) warrants of series TO6. The record date for participation in the Rights Issue is set for 28 October 2024.

The Extraordinary General Meeting further resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposals:

Over-allotment issue

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors’ proposal, to carry out a directed issue of an additional maximum of 14,285,714 units consisting of shares and warrants of series TO6 with deviation from the shareholders' preferential rights, in the event of oversubscription in the Rights Issue and to have the opportunity to broaden the shareholder base with strategic investors (the "Over-allotment Issue"). Each unit consists of seven (7) shares and four (4) warrants of series TO6. The subscription price for each new share in the Over-allotment Issue shall correspond to the subscription price in the Rights Issue, meaning that the subscription price per share is SEK 0.10. The subscription price per unit thus amounts to SEK 0.70. Subscription of units in the Over-allotment Issue shall be made on a separate subscription list no later than on 19 November 2024. Through the Over-allotment Issue the Company’s share capital can increase by a maximum of SEK 7,857,142.70 provided that the Over-allotment Issue is fully subscribed and all warrants of series TO6 issued in the Over-allotment Issue are exercised to subscribe for new shares.

Resolution to reduce the share capital without cancellation of shares and amendment of the articles of association

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to reduce the Company's share capital by a maximum of SEK 76,378,353.30 so that the Company's share capital after the reduction amounts to SEK 500,000. The reduction shall be carried out without the cancellation of shares and shall be used for allocation to unrestricted equity.

The reduction of the share capital requires permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a general court. Provided that the necessary permit is obtained, the reduction decision is expected to be executed in January or February 2025.

In accordance with resolutions passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company's share capital shall be not less than SEK 60,880,000 and not more than SEK 243,520,000 (prior to the resolution to reduce the share capital that requires permission from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or a general court) and the number of shares in the Company shall be not less than 365,300,000 and not more than 1,461,200,000.

PROPOSALS FOR RESOLUTION

Item 7 – Resolutions to amend the articles of association and to reduce the share capital in order to enable the issues of units under items 8 and 9

General information regarding the board of directors’ proposal under item 7
To enable the execution of the board of directors’ resolution on issues of units in accordance with items 8 and 9, the board of directors proposes that resolutions be passed at the general meeting in respect of a share capital reduction and amendments to the limits of the share capital in the articles of association. The items 7 a) – b) are one proposal to be approved together in one resolution at the general meeting. A resolution in accordance with this item 7 is conditional upon that the meeting also resolves in accordance with items 8 and 10. A valid resolution requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting.

Item 7 a) – The board of directors’ proposal to amend § 4 of the articles of association
To enable the reduction of the share capital under item 7 b), the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves that the share capital limits in § 4 of the articles of association be amended as follows.

§ 4 in the articles of association is proposed to have the following wording.

Proposed wording
The share capital may not be less than SEK 7,000,000 and no more than SEK 28,000,000.

Item 7 b) – The board of directors’ proposal to reduce the share capital
The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a reduction of the company’s share capital by SEK 53,281,218.20. The reduction shall be made without cancellation of shares. The reduction amount shall be allocated as non-restricted equity. The reduction is made in order to reduce the quota value of the shares to enable the issues proposed under items 8 and 9. Following the reduction, the company’s share capital will amount to SEK 7,611,602.60 divided between 152,232,052 shares in total (prior to the issuance of units), each share having a quota value of SEK 0.05.

The board of directors’ statement pursuant to Chapter 20, Section 13, fourth paragraph of the Swedish Companies Act
The effect of the board of directors’ proposal is that the company’s share capital is reduced by SEK 53,281,218.20 to SEK 7,611,602.60. The new issue of units, pursuant to item 8, increases the share capital by up to SEK 17,760,405.95 and the bonus issue pursuant to item 10 further increases the share capital by SEK 42,624,974.35. By carrying out a new issue of units and a bonus issue at the same time as the share capital reduction, the share capital increases by at least the reduction amount. The company may thus execute the reduction without approval from the Swedish Companies Registration Office or public court, since the measures taken together do not result in a decrease in the company’s restricted equity nor share capital.

Item 8 – Resolutions to amend the articles of association and on an issue of units with preferential rights for the company’s shareholders

General information regarding the board of directors’ proposals under item 8
To enable the registration of the resolution on an issue of units under item 8 b) below, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves that the limits to the share capital in § 4 and the number of shares in § 5 of the articles of association be amended.

The board of directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.

The items 8 a) – b) are one proposal to be approved together in one resolution at the general meeting. A resolution in accordance with this item 8 is conditional upon that the meeting also resolves in accordance with items 7 and 10.

A valid resolution requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting.

Item 8 a) – The board of directors’ proposal to amend § 4 and § 5 of the articles of association

§ 4 in the articles of association is proposed to have the following wording.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the board of directors’ resolution to carry out a new issue of units consisting of shares and warrants of series TO 6 with preferential rights for the company’s shareholders. Each unit consists of seven (7) shares and four (4) warrants of series TO 6. For the resolution, the following conditions shall otherwise apply.

1. A maximum of 355,208,119 shares may be issued, entailing an increase in the share capital of no more than SEK 17,760,405.95. A maximum of 202,976,068 warrants of series TO 6 may be issued, entailing an increase in the share capital of no more than SEK 10,148,803.40 if all warrants are exercised.

2. In the event that the company’s outstanding shares increase up to the record date for participation in the rights issue (through the exercise of warrants of series TO 5), the number of shares that entitle participation in the rights issue shall be increased by the corresponding number, implying an increase in share capital of up to an additional SEK 3,881,370.50 through the issuance of up to 77,627,410 shares and the issuance of up to 44,358,520.00 warrants of series TO 6, implying an increase in the share capital, upon the exercise of all the warrants, of up to an additional SEK 2,217,926.00. Shares that are added through the subscription of new shares during the exercise period of warrants of series TO 5 will entitle participation in the rights issue.

3. Those who are registered as shareholders in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB on the record date 28 October 2024 shall receive one (1) unit right for each share held in the Company. Three (3) unit rights shall entitle to subscription for one (1) unit.

4. The price for each new share is SEK 0.10, the subscription price per unit thus amounts to SEK 0.70.

5. The warrants of series TO 6 are issued without consideration. The terms and conditions for the warrants are available on the company’s website.

6. The record date for participation in the new issue of units with preferential rights shall be on 28 October 2024.

7. Subscription of units through unit rights shall take place through simultaneous cash payment during the period from 30 October 2024 until and including 13 November 2024. Subscription of units without the support of unit rights shall take place during the same period on a separate subscription list. Payment for units subscribed for without the support of unit rights must be made in cash no later than the second banking day after the settlement note showing the allotment of units has been sent out.

8. The board of directors shall be entitled to extend the subscription and payment period.

9. The share premium shall be added to the unrestricted share premium reserve.

10. In the event that not all units are subscribed for with the support of unit rights, the board of directors shall, within the maximum amount of the new issue of units, resolve on the allotment of units to those who have subscribed for units without the support of unit rights in accordance with the following allotment principles:

11. The new shares entitle the holder to dividend for the first time on the record date for the dividend that occurs immediately after the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the subsequent entry of the shares in the company’s share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. The new shares issued as a result of exercise of the warrants of series TO 6 entitle the holder to dividend for the first time on the record date for the dividend that occurs immediately after subscription has been executed.

12. The board of directors has the right to resolve on payment by set-off in accordance with Chapter 13, Section 41 of the Swedish Companies Act.

The CEO or a person appointed by the CEO shall be authorised to make any minor adjustment required to register the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB.

Item 9 – Resolution on an over-allotment issue
In order to, in the event of oversubscription in the rights issue in accordance with item 8, meet demand and have the opportunity to broaden the shareholder base with strategic investors, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves on a new issue of a total maximum amount of 14,285,714 additional units with the purpose to enable the company to raise an additional issue proceeds of an approximate maximum amount of MSEK 10.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to carry out a new issue of units consisting of shares and warrants of series TO 6 with deviation from the shareholders preferential rights. Each unit consists of seven (7) shares and four (4) warrants of series TO 6. For the resolution, the following conditions shall otherwise apply.

1. A maximum of 99,999,998 shares may be issued, entailing an increase in the share capital of no more than SEK 4,999,999.90. A maximum of 57,142,856 warrants of series TO 6 may be issued, entailing an increase in the share capital of no more than SEK 2,857,142.80 if all warrants are exercised.

2. The right to subscribe for the new shares shall, with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights, vest in persons who have expressed interest in subscribing for units in the rights issue, but who have not received full allotment of units due to the rights issue being fully subscribed. If the board of directors resolves to allocate units in the over-allotment issue, the board of directors has the right to allocate the units on a discretionary basis.

3. The price for each new share shall correspond to the subscription price in the rights issue meaning that the subscription price per share is SEK 0.10. The subscription price per unit thus amounts to SEK 0.70. In determining the subscription price, the board of directors has taken into account several factors, such as the fact that the company has announced that the company will carry out a rights issue in accordance with item 8, the market situation, the company’s financing needs, opportunity cost for other financing and assessed market interest for an investment in the company. It is the board of directors’ assessment, based on the above factors, that the subscription price reflects current market conditions and demand. Against this background, the board of directors assesses that the subscription price is in line with market conditions.

4. The warrants of series TO 6 are issued without consideration. The terms and conditions for the warrants are available on the company’s website.

5. Subscription for units shall take place on a subscription list no later than on 19 November 2024. The board of directors shall have the right to postpone the last day for subscription.

6. Subscribed units must be paid for in cash no later than on 21 November 2024. The board of directors shall have the right to postpone the last day for payment.

7. The share premium shall be added to the unrestricted share premium reserve.

8. The new shares in the directed issue entitle the holder to dividend for the first time on the record date for the dividend that occurs immediately after the registration of the new shares with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and the subsequent entry of the shares in the company’s share register kept by Euroclear Sweden AB. The new shares issued as a result of exercise of the warrants of series TO 6 entitle the holder to dividend for the first time on the record date for the dividend that occurs immediately after subscription has been executed.

9. The reasons for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights are to enable the company to take advantage of the opportunity to raise an additional issue proceeds in the event of a possible over-subscription in the rights issue (so-called over-allotment issue) and to broaden the company’s shareholder base. The issue is made without preferential rights for the company’s shareholders according to the allotment principles that apply to subscription without subscription rights in the rights issue, however, the board of directors shall have the right to meet any new shareholder’s subscription interest if the board of directors finds this beneficial to the company. The board of directors assesses that the above reasons justify the deviation from the main rule that new issues shall be carried out with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The board of directors’ overall assessment is that the over-allotment issue is beneficial for the company and its shareholders.

A valid resolution under this item 9 requires that the resolution is supported by shareholders representing at least two thirds of the votes cast as well as of the shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting. A resolution in accordance with this item 9 is conditional upon the meeting also resolves in accordance with items 7, 8 and 10.

The board of directors, the CEO, or anyone appointed by the board of directors or the CEO, shall be authorised to make such minor amendments to the above resolution as may be necessary in connection with the registration of the resolution with the Swedish Companies Registration Office or Euroclear Sweden AB or due to other formal requirements.
