Stockholm, 7 May 2024 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) has signed a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to invest a majority stake in Spanish company Tungsten San Juan SL (“TSJ”). The investment is summarised below, in brief:

“This acquisition is a game changer for Eurobattery Minerals and it will transform the Company´s DNA. Tungsten is listed as a critical raw material by the EU and tungsten-enhanced steel is vital, for example, for the defence industry,” comments Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

Information about TSJ and the tungsten project
TSJ is a Spanish mining entity engaging in the development of the San Juan wolfram deposit (Ourense, Galicia, Spain), a site with appreciable mineralisation of tungsten which has never been mined (the “Project”). The Project has all the necessary licences and contracts in place to commence production, including a letter of intent for an off-take agreement with Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten AG, an Austrian world-leading tungsten producer within the Swedish Sandvik Group.

The initial small-scale open pit production planned in 2025 is based on the proven reserves of 60,000 t @ 1.3% WO3 (78,000 MTU). With consideration of a potential extension of the open pit as well as the other potential reserves in the remaining numerous outcroppings of skarn, TSJ forecasts an initial mining objective for the Project in the order of at least 960,000 MTU, i.e. more than 12 times the size of the proven reserves.

The investment in brief
The investment of EUR 2.5 million through a new share issue is intended to enable the start of production in 2025. According to the business plan, the Project would yield positive cash flows within 12 months from the completion of the first tranche, with a payback period on the investment of 3.4 years (including the estimated 10-month plant construction time). Parts of the cash flows each year are intended to be recouped in dividends to the owners. The remainder will be re-invested in new drilling programs and further development with the ambition to realise the value-adding potential of the project, which TSJ anticipates being at least 12 times higher than the actual proven reserves. The distribution of the net profits will be determined over time, guided by the development of the Project, with the ambition to maximise shareholder value.

“This investment is transformative for Eurobattery Minerals as it will make the Company self-sufficient. The Project constitutes a fantastic opportunity to enable positive cash flows to the Company and it has a big value-adding potential, which could significantly increase the project value in the future. Considering the role of tungsten as a critical raw material and its applications within the aeronautics, space, and defence industries – as well as electronics and industrial applications – this investment aligns well with our mission to make Europe self-sufficient in responsibly mined minerals,” comments Roberto García Martínez, CEO of Eurobattery Minerals.

Eurobattery Minerals intends to explore the possibility of obtaining financing for the investment, for which the parties’ collective ambition is to complete the deal in 2024. The LOI gives Eurobattery Minerals exclusive rights for ninety calendar days to invest the majority stake in the Project.

Detailed financial information
The Q4 report for 2023 of Eurobattery Minerals AB is available for download at the Company’s website and can be viewed in the attachment of the release (see below).

Eurobattery Minerals AB’s (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “Eurobattery” or the “Company”) rights issue of units has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The last day for trading in paid subscribed units (“BTU”) is on 7 February 2024. Euroclear’s record date for conversion from BTU to shares and warrants is on 9 February 2024. The new shares and warrants are expected to be distributed to the respective shareholder’s VP account/depot on 13 February 2024. The first day of trading of the warrants of series TO4 (Ticker: BAT TO4) is on 13 February 2024 and they will be traded until and including 17 May 2024. The first day of trading of the warrants of series TO5 (Ticker: BAT TO5) is on 13 February 2024 and they will be traded until and including 16 October 2024.

The Board of Directors of Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “Eurobattery” or the “Company”) has today, with support from the authorisation from the Extraordinary General Meeting on 27 December 2023, decided on a directed issue of 4,980,152 units to underwriters who have entered into underwriting commitments in the rights issue of units which was decided on by the Board of Directors on 22 November 2023 (the “Rights issue”) and who have chosen to receive underwriting remuneration in the form of new units in Eurobattery (the “Compensation issue”). The subscription price in the Compensation issue corresponds to the subscription price in the Rights issue, SEK 0.80 per unit (corresponding to SEK 0.40 per share, the warrants are obtained free of charge). One (1) unit consists of two (2) new shares, one (1) warrant of series TO4 and one (1) warrant of series TO5. Payment is made by offsetting claims. The Board of Directors of Eurobattery has also, with support from the authorisation from the Extraordinary General Meeting on 27 December 2023, decided to carry out a directed issue to Formue Nord Fokus A/S (the “Convertible issue”) of convertible notes with a total nominal amount of SEK 5.0 million (the “Convertible notes”), in accordance with the intention communicated through a press release on 22 November 2023. The consideration for the Convertible issue will be paid by offsetting Formue Nord Fokus A/S’s claim under the Company’s previous convertible of series 2022/2023.

Terms for the Compensation issue

In connection with the Rights issue, it was communicated that the Rights issue was covered by underwriting commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 20.4 million. In accordance with the underwriting agreements, underwriting commitments entitled to underwriting remuneration corresponding to fifteen (15) per cent of the underwritten amount in cash or twenty (20) per cent of the underwritten amount in units. Several underwriters have chosen to receive their remuneration in the form of units in the Company, and due to this, Eurobattery’s Board of Directors has today decided on a directed Compensation issue of a total of 4,980,152 units, corresponding to approximately SEK 4.0 million, to said underwriters.

The subscription price in the Compensation issue corresponds to the subscription price in the Rights issue and was determined through negotiations between the underwriters and the Company, in consultation with advisors and through analysis of several market factors. The Board of Directors’ assessment is therefore that the subscription price is at market, with consideration of current market conditions.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right is to fulfil the Company’s commitments to the underwriters as a cause of the entered underwriting agreements. Payment in the Compensation issue shall be made by offsetting the underwriters’ claim for underwriting remuneration.

Through the Compensation issue, the number of shares in Eurobattery will increase by 9,960,304, from 93,171,534 to 103,131,838. The share capital will thereby increase by SEK 3,984,121.60, from SEK 37,268,613.60 to SEK 41,252,735.20. The Compensation issue thus entails a dilution effect on the Company’s share of approximately 9.7 per cent.

Through the Compensation issue, 4,980,152 warrants of series TO4 and 4,980,152 warrants of series TO5 are issued. If all outstanding warrants of series TO4 and TO5, including the warrants issued through the Rights Issue, are exercised for subscription of new shares in the Company, the number of shares will increase by an additional 66,537,780 shares, entailing an increased dilution of approximately 39.2 per cent, of which a maximum of approximately 5.9 per cent is attributable to the warrants issued through the Compensation issue.

All units in the Compensation issue have been subscribed for and allotted to underwriters who have chosen to receive underwriting compensation in the form of units.

Terms for the Convertible issue

The Company has an outstanding debt as a result of a convertible debenture with a nominal value of SEK 10.0 million which was issued to Formue Nord Fokus A/S as a result of a resolution by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022 and which entitled the holder to conversion of up to 2,500,000 new shares in the Company at a conversion price of SEK 4.00 per share. In connection with the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to repay the whole outstanding debt including interest, of which approximately SEK 6.6 million is paid in cash and the remaining amount is offset against Convertible notes in the Convertible issue.

The terms of the Convertible issue, including the conversion price, have been established through negotiations at arm’s length with Formue Nord Fokus A/S and are deemed by the Board of Directors to be at market. The main conditions for the Convertible issue are stated below:

Formue Nord Fokus A/S has subscribed for and been allotted all Convertible notes in the Convertible issue.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right is an agreement with Formue Nord Fokus A/S regarding a liquidity-efficient repayment of the outstanding debt as a result of the previous convertible debenture. The Board of Directors has considered the possibility of financing the repayment of the outstanding debt by carrying out a larger rights issue of shares than the Rights issue, or through a rights issue of convertible notes, but has made the assessment that such a rights issue would probably not be fully subscribed. Obtaining underwriting for such a rights issue would be costly for the Company. The Board of Directors’ overall assessment is thus that the Convertible issue constitutes the most efficient financing of the repayment of the outstanding debt to Formue Nord Fokus A/S and is beneficial for the Company and its shareholders.

The subscription price for the Convertible notes has been determined through negotiations with Formue Nord Fokus A/S at arm’s length, in consultation with advisors and through analysis of several market factors and is deemed by the Board of Directors – in light of the agreement – to be at market.

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, HONG KONG, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND, SINGAPORE, SOUTH AFRICA, OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PRESS RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL, BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL RESTRICTIONS OR WOULD REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR OTHER MEASURES.

The final outcome in Eurobattery Minerals AB’s (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “Eurobattery” or the “Company”) rights issue of approximately SEK 29.3 million (the “Rights issue”) shows that 28,288,738 units were subscribed for, corresponding to a subscription rate of approximately 77.3 per cent. Eurobattery thereby receives total issue proceeds of approximately SEK 22.6 million (of which SEK 1.6 million is obtained through set-off of debts) before issue costs. The net proceeds will, among other things, be used for development of the battery mineral project Hautalampi and repayment of interest-bearing debts.

Final outcome

The Rights issue comprised a total of 36,594,058 units. One (1) unit consists of two (2) new shares, one (1) warrant of series TO4 and one (1) warrant of series TO5. The final outcome shows that 26,230,296 units, corresponding to approximately 71.7 per cent of the Rights issue, were subscribed for with unit rights. 2,058,442 units, corresponding to approximately 5.6 per cent of the Rights issue, were subscribed for without unit rights. The outcome implies that no underwriting commitments will be claimed. Altogether, the Rights issue was subscribed to approximately 77.3 per cent.

Other information

Through the Rights issue, the Company receives gross proceeds of approximately SEK 22.6 million (of which SEK 1.6 million is obtained through set-off of debts). The number of shares will increase by 56,577,476, from 36,594,058 to 93,171,534, when the new shares are registered at the Swedish Companies Registration Office which is expected to take place in the beginning of February 2024. The share capital will increase by SEK 22,630,990.40, from SEK 14,637,623.20 to SEK 37,268,613.60, after consideration of the share capital reduction decided at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company on 27 December 2023 which will be registered in connection with the registration of the Rights issue at the Swedish Companies Registration Office. The dilution for the shareholders who did not participate in the Rights issue amounts to approximately 60.7 per cent.

Trading in paid subscribed units (“BTU”) continues until the registration of the Rights issue at the Swedish Companies Registration Office. As soon as the Rights issue has been registered, BTU will be converted into shares and warrants of series TO4 and TO5. Altogether, 28,288,738 warrants of series TO4 and 28,288,738 warrants of series TO5 will be issued, which will entitle the holders to subscribe for one new share per warrant during the periods 7 May – 21 May 2024 and 7 October – 18 October 2024 respectively. Upon full exercise of all warrants of series TO4 and TO5, the Company’s share will be diluted by an additional approximately 37.8 per cent.

Allocation of units subscribed for without unit rights has been made in accordance with the principles described in the EU growth prospectus which was prepared due to the Rights issue and published on 3 January 2024. Notice of allocation of units subscribed for without unit rights will be sent to those who have been allotted units today, 24 January 2024. Subscribed and allotted units should be paid in cash and the payment should be received by Aqurat Fondkommission AB at the latest on the settlement day, 29 January 2024, according to the instructions on the settlement note.
