On 16 September 2024, the Board of Directors of the mining company Eurobattery Minerals AB (Nordic Growth Market: BAT and Börse Stuttgart: EBM; in short: “Eurobattery Minerals” or the “Company”) resolved, subject to subsequent approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting, on a rights issue of units with a subscription period that commences on 30 October and ends on 13 November 2024 (the “Rights issue”). The Extraordinary General Meeting held on 16 October 2024 resolved to approve the Board’s decision to carry out the Rights issue. Due to the exercise of 60,992 warrants of series TO5 for subscription of an equal amount of new shares in the Company during the exercise period which commenced on 7 October and ended on 18 October, the Company announces that the maximum amount of the Rights issue has been increased in relation to the number of outstanding shares after the exercise of the TO5 warrants. The Rights issue now comprises a maximum of 50,764,348 units, and the Company may, upon full subscription in the Rights issue, receive proceeds of up to approximately SEK 35.5 million before issue costs. Other terms for the Rights issue and the over-allotment issue of approximately SEK 10.0 million (the “Over-allotment issue”) remain unchanged and are further described in the Company’s press release dated 16 September 2024, along with information on the convertible issue and bridge loan financing announced in connection with the Rights issue.

Updated terms for the Rights issue

The Board of Directors of Eurobattery Minerals resolved on 16 September 2024, subject to subsequent approval by the general meeting, on a Rights issue of units with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The Extraordinary General Meeting held on 16 October 2024, resolved to approve the Board’s decision to carry out the Rights issue. Furthermore, the Extraordinary General Meeting resolved on the Over-allotment issue with the purpose to cover any potential over-allotment in the Rights issue.

The main terms of the Rights issue are presented below:

• Anyone who is registered as a shareholder in Eurobattery Minerals on the record date, 28 October 2024, will receive one (1) unit right for every (1) existing share. Three (3) unit rights entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) unit. One (1) unit consists of seven (7) new shares and four (4) warrants of series TO6 (the “Warrants”).
• The last day of trading in the Company's share including the right to participate in the Rights issue is 24 October 2024, and the first day of trading in the Company's share excluding the right to participate in the Rights issue is 25 October 2024.
• The unit rights are expected to trade on NGM Nordic SME between 30 October and 8 November 2024.
• The subscription price is SEK 0.70 per unit, corresponding to SEK 0.10 per share (the Warrants are obtained free of charge).
• The subscription period commences on 30 October and ends on 13 November 2024.
• The Rights issue comprises an issue of a maximum of 50,764,348 units, corresponding to 355,350,436 shares and 203,057,392 Warrants, implying gross proceeds of approximately SEK 35.5 million at most upon full subscription before any exercise of Warrants and issue costs which are estimated to amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 5.3 million (including underwriting fee). In the event of full utilisation of the Over-allotment issue, an additional maximum of at most 14,285,714 units, corresponding to 99,999,998 shares and 57,142,856 Warrants, may be issued, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately SEK 10.0 million before any exercise of Warrants and issue costs which are estimated to amount to a maximum of approximately SEK 0.5 million.
• One (1) Warrant will entitle to subscription for one (1) new share during the exercise period commencing on 12 May and ending on 23 May 2025, at a price corresponding to 70 per cent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share during the period commencing on 24 April and ending on 8 May 2025, but not less than the nominal share price and no more than SEK 0.12 per share.
• Upon full subscription in the Rights issue and the Over-allotment issue, full utilisation of the issued Warrants will generate additional gross proceeds for the Company of up to approximately SEK 31.2 million, before issue costs which are estimated to amount to a maximum approximately SEK 1.1 million.
• For existing shareholders who do not participate in the Rights issue the dilution will be approximately 70.0 per cent in the case of full subscription in the Rights issue and an additional approximately 16.5 per cent in the case of full utilisation of the Over-allotment issue. Under the condition of full subscription in the Rights issue and the Over-allotment issue, as well as full utilisation of all the associated Warrants, the maximum total dilution amounts to approximately 82.5 per cent.
• The Rights issue is covered by subscription commitments totalling approximately SEK 3.1 million, corresponding to approximately 8.7 per cent of the Rights issue, and underwriting commitments totalling approximately SEK 18.2 million, corresponding to approximately 51.3 per cent of the Rights issue. Altogether, the Rights issue is thus covered by subscription commitments and underwriting commitments totalling approximately SEK 21.3 million, corresponding to approximately 60.0 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.
• The new shares and Warrants are intended to be taken up for trading on NGM Nordic SME.

The subscription price in the Over-allotment issue is the same as in the Rights issue.
