Sayona Mining Ltd: A$50M Raise Fund NAL Acquisition Advance Abitibi Lithium Hub

12.07.2021  |  ABN Newswire
Brisbane, Australia - Emerging lithium producer Sayona Mining Ltd. (ASX:SYA) (FRA:DML) (OTCMKTS:DMNXF) has won significant investor support for its Quebec expansion strategy, amid unparalleled demand growth for battery metals from the accelerating electric vehicle industry in North America.

Funding the Company's acquisition of North American Lithium and boosting its emerging Abitibi lithium hub, the Company has undertaken a Placement to raise A$45 million through the issue of 600,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares at an offer price of A$0.075 per New Share.

The Placement was significantly oversubscribed, with Sayona receiving strong support from institutional investors in North America, Europe and Asia together with Australia. Pricing was at a 4.7% discount to the 15-day VWAP of A$0.079. Sayona's major shareholder and strategic partner, Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NASDAQ:PLL) (ASX:PLL) has also subscribed for A$8 million in the Placement.

Ensuring all shareholders receive the same opportunity to participate in the Company's growth, Sayona also intends to undertake a capped SPP to raise up to A$5 million at the same offer price as the Placement.

Details concerning the SPP will be provided in a Plan Booklet to be dispatched to shareholders on 21 July 2021. Refer to the below timetable for relevant dates concerning the SPP.

Sayona's Managing Director, Brett Lynch commented: "We are delighted by the support for the Placement from major and new institutional investors in Canada, the United States, Asia and Australia, as we build our institutional shareholder base.

"The capital raising has been structured to ensure retail shareholders have the same opportunity to participate and we look forward to undertaking the SPP on the same terms as the Placement.

"This new funding will allow us to finalise our acquisition of North American Lithium, a key part of our Quebec growth strategy, supporting the development of a world-scale Abitibi lithium hub that is purposebuilt to supply the North American EV revolution."

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner to the Placement.

Desjardins Capital Markets acted as a finder in connection with certain purchasers under the Placement.

Jett Capital Advisors acted as North American adviser regarding the Placement.
