Summary · why it matters

Critical Metals and European Lithium have amended their Scheme Implementation Deed for Critical Metals' proposed acquisition of European Lithium, modifying specific implementation mechanics while keeping existing commercial and economic terms intact. European Lithium shareholders and listed optionholders holding 50,000 or fewer European Lithium shares or listed options on the applicable record date will be eligible to participate in a sale facility, through which an appointed agent will sell the Critical Metals common shares on the open market and distribute the net cash proceeds to eligible holders in lieu of the shares. The companies continue to work toward satisfying remaining conditions to complete the transaction, with European Lithium expecting to distribute its Scheme Booklet, including an Independent Expert's Report, in late July or early August 2026. Upon completion, existing European Lithium shareholders are expected to own approximately 41% of the outstanding common shares of the combined company.
