Client

Li-Metal Corp.

On October 25, 2021, 2555663 Ontario Limited, doing business as Li-Metal (“Li-Metal”) completed a reverse takeover (“RTO”) of Eurotin Inc. (“Eurotin”), forming Li-Metal Corp. After the completion of the RTO, the shares of Li-Metal Corp. were listed on the CSE under the ticker symbol “LIM”.

In connection with the RTO, Li-Metal completed an offering of US$3,000,000 senior secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). Immediately prior to the RTO, each Debenture automatically converted into one common share of Li-Metal Corp.

Li-Metal also completed a private placement of 7,500,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) for aggregate gross proceeds of US$7,500,000. Upon the completion of the RTO, each Subscription Receipt automatically converted into one Resulting Issuer Share and one Resulting Issuer Warrant.
