Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELBM) (“Electra” or the “Company”) announced today the pricing of its previously announced overnight-marketed public offering (the “Equity Offering”) of units of the Company (the “Units”) on a best efforts basis at a price of US$2.35 per Unit for total gross proceeds of approximately US$5.5 million (~CAD$7.4 million). Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at US$3.10 at any time on or before the date which is 36 months after the closing date of the Equity Offering.

The Company has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 8, 2022, as amended on November 9, 2022 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), to its final short form base shelf prospectus dated November 26, 2020, as amended by amendment no. 1 dated November 30, 2021 (collectively, the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) in connection with the Equity Offering of Units. The Preliminary Prospectus Supplement was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Preliminary Prospectus Supplement was also filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-264982), effective upon filing with the SEC on May 16, 2022, in accordance with the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States. The Company expects to file a final prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) in connection with the Equity Offering by no later than 5:30 pm (Toronto time) on November 9, 2022.

The Units are being offered (i) to the public in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec, (ii) in the United States, and (iii) in such other international jurisdictions, as the Company and the dealers agree.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Equity Offering for capital expenditures associated with the expansion and recommissioning of the Company’s wholly-owned hydrometallurgical cobalt refinery, including buildings, equipment, infrastructure, and other direct costs, as well as engineering and project management costs.

The Equity Offering is expected to close on or about November 15, 2022, and is subject to customary closing conditions including the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and notification to The Nasdaq Stock Market. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Equity Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Equity Offering.
