LibertyStream Announces Closing of LIFE Offering

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$LIB.v #criticalminerals—LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (TSXV: LIB | OTCQB: VLTLF | FSE: I2D) (“LibertyStream” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement of units (the “Units”) of the Company (the “Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $12,499,999.60 through the issuance of 11,363,636 Units at a price of $1.10 per Unit.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one whole common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $1.50 per Warrant Share for a period of thirty-six months following the completion of the Offering.

The Offering was completed on a private placement basis in reliance on the “listed issuer financing exemption” from the prospectus requirements available under Part 5A.2 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as modified by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption in each of the Provinces and Territories of Canada (the “LIFE Exemption”). In accordance with the LIFE Exemption, the securities issued pursuant to the Offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to develop the Company’s direct lithium extraction technology to improve operating efficiencies; continue the scale-up of lithium carbonate production at its field unit in the Permian Basin in Texas, including moving towards commercial lithium production; create avenues to provide lithium carbonate and other lithium product samples to potential future customers and off-takers; and for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Certain Company insiders participated in the Offering. The participation by insiders in the Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the common shares purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such insiders, exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances as the details of the participation by insiders of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing the Offerings and the Company wished to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.

The Units, Common Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares comprising the Offering have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and have not and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Units have been offered and sold in the United States to accredited investors (each, a “U.S. Accredited Investor”) meeting one or more of the criteria in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act or U.S. Accredited Investors that also qualify as a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act, in each case by way of a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Any Units offered and sold in the United States have been issued as “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
