Stockholm, 30 November 2022 – The shareholders of the mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”) held an Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022 by advance voting, at which the following main resolutions were passed.

New issue of units with pre-emptive rights for the company’s shareholders

The Meeting decided to increase the company’s share capital by not more than SEK 33 044 474 through a new issue of not more than 16,522,237 units, with pre-emptive rights for the company’s shareholders. One unit right will be received for every one existing share held on the record date of 5 December 2022. One unit right entitles the holder to subscribe for one unit.

Authorization regarding Over-Allotment issue

The board was authorized to, on one or more occasions before the next annual general meeting, with or without deviating from the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, resolve on the issue of a maximum of 5,000,000 units, each of a new share and a new warrant, provided that those who registered for subscription has not received full allotment.

Directed issue of warrants

Formue Nord Fokus A/S was offered to subscribe for a maximum of 3,333,333 new warrants which, when exercised, will result in the issue of a maximum of 3,333,333 new shares and an increase the company’s share capital of a maximum of SEK 3,333,333. The warrants are issued free of charge. 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 an outstanding convertible.

Directed issue of a convertible

Formue Nord Fokus A/S was offered to subscribe for a convertible with a nominal amount of SEK 10,000,000, which means, upon conversion, the issue of a maximum of 10,000,000 new shares and an increase in the company’s share capital of a maximum of SEK 10,000,000. 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 an outstanding convertible.

Changes to the articles of association

The Meeting approved to change the articles of association so that the number of shares will be a minimum of 25 000 000 and a maximum of 100 000 000 and the share capital a minimum of 25 000 000 SEK and a maximum of 100 000 000 SEK.

Incentive program for the CEO

The Meeting resolved to adopt an incentive program for the company’s CEO (“LTI 2022”). The three-year program enables the CEO, provided that certain performance goals are achieved, to, free of charge, acquire a maximum of 150 000 shares in the company.

Provided that the performance share rights have been allotted and vested, each performance share right entitles the holder to, during the period from and including 22 November 2025 up until 15 January 2026, either acquire one share at a price corresponding to the quota value of the share or, free of charge, receive a warrant that entitles to the subscription of a share in the company at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value of the share.

To implement the incentive program the company will issue and allot to the company a maximum of 197 139 new warrants.

To ensure delivery of shares or warrants to the participant in LTI 2022, the company will issue a maximum of 150,000 warrants. To hedge the company’s exposure to fees that may arise as a result of the use of performance share rights, the company will issue a maximum of 47,130 warrants. The share capital can increase by a maximum of SEK 197,139. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential right is the introduction of LTI 2022. The warrants are issued free of charge.

The maximum dilution for the existing shareholders is 1.8 per cent of the company’s shares. Considering all the company’s outstanding incentive programs, the maximum dilution for the existing shareholders is 6.4 per cent.

Directed issue of shares to company associated with the CEO

Nazgero Consulting Services Ltd, a company controlled by the CEO of Eurobattery, was offered to subscribe for a maximum of 317 910 new shares which, if fully subscribed to, will increase the company’s share capital of a maximum of SEK 317 901. The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right is the company’s need to compensate the company’s CEO in a liquidity-efficient way.

Stockholm, 14 November 2022 – The mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: “BAT” and Börse Stuttgart: “EBM”; in short: “EBM”, “Eurobattery” or “the Company”), today announced the extension of all its seven exploration permits in Sweden with one year.

“I am pleased that we have extended our exploration permits in Sweden.

The Board of Directors of Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: "Eurobattery" or the "Company") has today, subject to the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022, decided to carry out a rights issue of a maximum of 16,522,237 units (the "Rights issue"). One (1) unit consists of one (1) share and one (1) warrant. The subscription price for a unit is SEK 3.00, whereby Eurobattery upon full subscription in the Rights issue would obtain approximately SEK 49.6 million before issue costs. For each (1) existing share in the Company, one (1) unit right is obtained. One (1) unit right entitles the holder to subscribe for one (1) unit. The subscription period commences on 7 December and ends on 21 December 2022. The Board of Directors has also decided to propose that the Extraordinary General Meeting authorises the Board of Directors to decide on an over-allotment issue of units of approximately SEK 15.0 million (the "Over-allotment issue") on the same terms as in the Rights issue. In connection with the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to partially repay the outstanding convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, which has committed to set off the rest of the convertible loan against a newly issued convertible loan of SEK 10.0 million (the "Convertible issue"). As part of the agreement regarding the repayment of the outstanding convertible loan, Formue Nord Fokus A/S will receive 3,333,333 warrants of the same series as the warrants issued through the Rights Issue free of charge. Upon full subscription in the Rights Issue, the number of shares in the Company will increase by 16,522,237 shares, and upon full utilisation of the Over-allotment issue, the number of shares will increase by an additional 5,000,000 shares before any exercise of warrants. In addition, the number of shares can increase by a maximum of 24,855,570 shares upon full utilisation of all warrants, assuming full subscription in the Rights issue and the Over-allotment issue. The proceeds from the Rights issue and the warrants will be used for partial repayment of the current convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, completion of the acquisition of FinnCobalt Oy ("FinnCobalt"), as well as to finance the development of the mining operations in Hautalampi and Corcel. The Rights issue is secured to approximately SEK 24.8 million, corresponding to 50.0 per cent of the Rights issue, by subscription and underwriting commitments.

The transaction in brief

Background and motive in brief

Eurobattery is a mining and exploration company that conducts targeted mineral exploration in Europe with a focus on raw materials for the ongoing electrification (for example nickel, copper and cobalt). The Company currently has two flagship projects focusing on nickel, cobalt and copper in northwestern Spain and eastern Finland.

Since 1 July 2022, Eurobattery holds 40 per cent of FinnCobalt Oy and the Hautalampi project due to the investment agreement that was signed in May 2020. The Company intends to complete the acquisition of 100 per cent of the shares in FinnCobalt during the first half of 2023. The development in Hautalampi has been favourable and in June 2021 the Company was able to increase the project’s measured, indicated and inferred resource tonnage by approximately 100 per cent and the metal content by approximately 50 per cent. In October 2022 the Company was able to confirm a further increase in the metal content of approximately 40 per cent. In addition to the completion of the acquisition of Hautalampi, the Company expects to publish an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and a preliminary feasibility study (PFS) for Hautalampi during Q1 2023.

The Spanish Corcel project has also shown good progress since the Company’s acquisition of Corcel Minerals S.L. in February 2019. During June 2022, based on previous studies and established NI 43-101 report, the Company was able to estimate the deposit at approximately 60 million tonnes with a significant nickel content. With only 10 per cent of the deposit, the Company could supply nickel for the production of at least 500,000 car batteries. In August 2022, Corcel was taken one step closer to its mining phase when the necessary information for completion of the environmental impact statement and the operating permit was submitted to local authorities. The Company is expected to publish new metallurgical results in Q4 2022 and to start a third drilling campaign in Q1 2023, with the aim of accelerating Corcel to the same project stage as Hautalampi.

With respect to Eurobattery's development plans, the Company’s assessment is that the existing working capital is not sufficient to finance the operations going forward. Thus, the Board of Directors has decided, subject the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022, to carry out the Rights issue of units of approximately SEK 49.6 million. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue and any exercise of the associated warrants are intended to be used for the following purposes, arranged in order of priority:

In order to take advantage of an over-subscription in the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to offer additional units, corresponding to a maximum of SEK 15.0 million through the Over-allotment issue. The net proceeds from the Over-allotment issue and the warrants are intended to contribute to increased financial flexibility with respect to what has been described above.

Terms of the Rights issue, the Over-allotment issue and the Convertible issue

The Board of Directors of Eurobattery has today, on 31 October 2022, subject to the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting on 30 November 2022, decided to carry out a Rights issue of a maximum of 16,522,237 units with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The Board of Directors has also proposed the Extraordinary General Meeting to authorise the Board of Directors to decide on an Over-allotment issue of SEK 15.0 million (5,000,000 units) in order to take advantage of any over-subscription in the Rights issue.

The main terms of the Rights issue are presented below:

The subscription price and the other terms of the Over-allotment issue are the same as those of the Rights issue.

Since 7 April 2022, Eurobattery has an outstanding convertible loan with a nominal value of SEK 18.0 million to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, which entitles the holder to conversion of up to 1,200,000 new shares in the Company at a conversion price of SEK 15.0 per share. In connection with the Rights issue, the Company has undertaken to repay SEK 8.0 million of the current convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S, who has committed to offset the remaining convertible loan against a newly issued convertible loan with a nominal value of SEK 10.0 million. As part of the agreement regarding the repayment of the outstanding convertible loan, Formue Nord Fokus A/S will obtain 3,333,333 warrants free of charge, of the same series as those issued free of charge as part of the Rights issue. The terms of the convertible, including the conversion price, have been established through negotiations 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:

Subscription and underwriting commitments

Prior to the publication of the Rights issue, the Company's Chairman Henrik Johannesson, Board member and CEO Roberto García Martínez (through fully owned company), and CFO Mattias Modén (through fully owned company) have entered into subscription commitments corresponding to their respective pro-rata shares amounting to a total of approximately SEK 1.3 million, or 2.6 per cent, of the Rights issue. In addition, current shareholders have entered into subscription commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 0.4 million, or 0.8 per cent. Furthermore, Roberto García Martínez, as well as a consortium of existing and external investors have entered into underwriting commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 23.1 million, or 46.6 per cent, of the Rights Issue.

The subscription commitments do not entitle to any compensation. The underwriting commitments entitle to an underwriting fee amounting to twelve (12) per cent in cash, implying a maximum cash cost of approximately SEK 2.8 million for the Company, or alternatively, fourteen (14) per cent in the form of units. The subscription price for the units referred to in the underwriting compensation will be based on the volume-weighted average price for the Company's shares during the subscription period for the Rights issue, but not less than SEK 3.00.

Overall, the Rights issue is secured by subscription and underwriting commitments amounting to a total of approximately SEK 24.8 million, corresponding to 50.0 per cent of the Rights issue. Neither the subscription commitments nor the underwriting commitments are secured by bank guarantees, escrow funds, pledge or similar arrangements.
