Convertible Issue and Bridge Financing

In connection with the rights issue, Eurobattery will repay an outstanding convertible loan of SEK 10.0 million and issue a new SEK 5.0 million convertible loan to Formue Nord Fokus A/S. The Company has also secured SEK 5.0 million in bridge financing, repayable upon the registration of new shares from the rights issue.

Intended Use of Funds

The proceeds from these initiatives are earmarked for several strategic purposes, including the development of the Hautalampi project, debt repayment, the completion of FinnCobalt acquisition, and financial flexibility for operations through 2024.

Rationale Behind the Initiatives

Eurobattery is a mining and exploration company focusing on mineral exploration for materials vital to electrification. Recent advancements include increased ownership in FinnCobalt's Hautalampi project, achieving crucial milestones like a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) and an approved Environmental Impact Assessment.

The PFS for Hautalampi projects promising economics with an anticipated payback period of 4.6 years and 12 years of mining operations.
