TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2021 - Neo Lithium Corp. ("Neo Lithium" or the "Company") (TSXV: NLC) (OTCQX: NTTHF) (FSE: NE2) is pleased to announce that shareholders of the Company approved the previously-announced plan of arrangement (the "Transaction") with Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd.. (the "Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiary 2872122 Ontario Limited (together with the Parent, "Zijin"), at a special meeting of shareholders held today for that purpose.

Zijin will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Each Neo Lithium shareholder will receive cash consideration of C$6.50 for each Common Share held upon the closing of the Transaction.

The detailed voting results regarding approval of the special resolution in connection with the Transaction are as follows:
  • A total of 52,609,268 votes were cast by holders of Common Shares, representing 37.20% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares. Of those votes cast, 48,569,777 Common Shares, representing 92.578%, were voted in favour of the Transaction.

  • Of the votes cast by shareholders other than persons whose votes were excluded in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, 41,488,477 Common Shares, representing 91.420%, were voted in favour of the Transaction.

Neo Lithium intends to seek a final order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) to approve the Transaction at a hearing expected to be held on December 15, 2021. Subject to obtaining all required approvals and satisfying all required conditions, the Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.

Following closing of the Transaction, the Common Shares will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and will no longer be available for trading on the TSXV, OTCQX International or Frankfurt Stock Exchange.


Remaining Conditions to Completion of the Transaction

The mining and environmental authorities of Catamarca Province, Argentina completed their evaluation of the Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") for exploitation of the 3Q Project. The government has initiated the citizen participation process that includes a government visit to the 3Q Project and three public audiences. The government visit occurred on December 6th and 7th, 2021, and the three public audiences will occur on December 13th, 14th and 17th in the city of Fiambala. While the Company cannot provide a specific date for the receipt of final EIR approval, such approval typically occurs following the last public audience. However there are no assurances whether or when such approval will be granted.

Zijin has informed the Company that it is in the process of obtaining the required regulatory approvals in China for Zijin to complete the Transaction. Zijin has also advised the Company that the Transaction will not be subject to a review under the Investment Canada Act.
