("CleanTech Lithium" or the "Company")
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/
(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.
