Results of Retail Offer

 

29 August 2025 - CleanTech Lithium PLC (AIM: CTL), an exploration and development company advancing sustainable lithium projects in Chile, is pleased to announce the results of its retail offer to existing shareholders (the "Retail Offer").

 

The Retail Offer was over-subscribed and has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £250,000 which will be in addition to the £4.7 million conditionally raised pursuant to the Placing and Broker Option (as announced on 11 August 2025 and 26 August 2025 respectively).

 

The Retail Offer, the Conditional Placing and the Broker Option (each as defined in the Company's announcement of the fundraising on 11 August 2025) remain conditional on shareholder approval and admission of the ordinary shares subscribed for thereunder (together, the "New Ordinary Shares") to trading on AIM ("Admission").

 

Steve Kesler, Non-Executive Chairman of CleanTech Lithium, said:

"We would like to thank our existing retail investors for their continued support and engagement. Their participation, alongside institutional backing, will enable us to drive the Laguna Verde project forward and deliver on our key upcoming milestones.

 

With the recent acquisition of the Minergy licences positioning us favourably for the CEOL application, the coming months will be pivotal as we complete the PFS for Laguna Verde and progress our CEOL application, which will underpin future strategic investor discussions."

 

Results of the Retail Offer

 

5,000,000 new ordinary shares ("Retail Offer Shares") will be issued to existing retail shareholders who subscribed via the BookBuild platform at a price of 5 pence per Retail Offer Share (the "Issue Price") pursuant to the Retail Offer.

 

The Retail Offer Shares carry a warrant entitlement of one warrant ("Warrant") for every Retail Offer Share issued pursuant to the Retail Offer. Each Warrant grants the holder the right to subscribe for one new ordinary share at a price of 6p, being at a 20% per cent premium to the Issue Price, at any time from one year after the date of Admission until up to and including the date which is 3 years from the date of Admission. It is expected that Admission will take place on or about 1 September 2025.

 

Subject to shareholder approval, a total of 5,000,000 Retail Offer Shares will be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer representing approximately 2.5 per cent. of the Company's enlarged ordinary share capital following Admission.

 

The Retail Offer Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends or other distributions made, paid or declared in respect of such shares after the date of issue of the Retail Offer Shares.

 

Upcoming General Meeting

 

The Retail Offer is subject to shareholder approval at the general meeting of the Company to be held at 10:00 a.m. on 29 August 2025 (the "General Meeting"), further details of which are set out in a shareholder circular published by the Company on 13 August 2025, which is available on the Company's website https://ctlithium.com/investors/circulars-documents/.

 

Admission and Trading

 

It is currently expected that Admission will become effective, and trading of the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM, at 8.00 a.m. on 1 September 2025.
