REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY MANUFACTURING

Imperium3 New York, Incorporated (iM3NY) lithium-ion battery plant continues to build out towards commercial production. The firm purchased equipment and machinery to build out operations such as slurry making to coating to cell assembly and formation. The new equipment includes formation lines, slurry making, coating, stacking machines, solvent recovery and refining. The machinery will form part of a full assembly line enabling the company to further advance its technology while also expanding its production capabilities.

Furthermore, iM3NY received US$50 million of funding via a four-year senior secured term loan from Riverstone Credit Partners, the credit arm of Riverstone Holdings LLC, a US Asset Management firm with over $43 billion in assets provided.

Riverstone is a significant player in middle market energy space globally and the funding will enable the plant to scale up to an annual capacity of 1.8GWh. This will make it one of the largest players in the US lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing market. iM3NY's estimated minimum binding offtakes of $US655m commencing in 2022 from both energy storage and electric mobility players provided significant comfort for Riverstone Credit Partners.
