Lift Announces the Closing of Its Strategic $21.3 Million Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BC, November 14, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Li-FT Power Ltd. ("LIFT" or the "Company") (TSXV:LIFT)(OTCQX:LIFFF)(Frankfurt:WS0) has closed its previously announced (see press release dated October 23, 2024) non-brokered private placement consisting of (i) 2,694,895 common shares of the Company that qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (each, a "Flow-Through Share") at a price of $5.6575 and (ii) 1,645,105 common shares of the Company (each, a "Hard Dollar Share") which were issued to a single purchaser (the "Strategic Investor") at a price of $3.65 per Hard Dollar Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $21,251,002 (the "Offering").

Francis MacDonald, CEO and Director of LIFT, commented, "This is a pivotal moment for our Company, and we are very pleased to welcome the Strategic Investor as a meaningful shareholder of LIFT. We believe this investment supports the work completed to date by our team and the significant potential of our portfolio of hard rock lithium projects in Canada. The proceeds from the Offering will help to further de-risk our Yellowknife Lithium Project in the Northwest Territories for which we plan to complete a preliminary economic assessment in Q2 2025, as well as advance exploration on our Cali Project and our portfolio of highly prospective lithium properties in Quebec."

In connection with the Offering, the Company and the Strategic Investor entered into an investor rights agreement, pursuant to which the Strategic Investor is entitled to certain rights, provided the Strategic Investor maintains certain ownership thresholds in the Company, including: (a) the right to participate in equity financings and top-up its holdings in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rata ownership interest at the time of such financing or issuance or acquire up to a 9.99% ownership interest in the Company, on a partially-diluted basis; and (b) the right to nominate one person to the board of directors of the Company in the event that the Purchaser's ownership interest in the Company exceeds and remains at or above 10%, on a partially-diluted basis.

The gross proceeds from the issue of the Hard Dollar Shares will be used to advance the Company's Canadian assets as well as for general corporate purposes. The gross proceeds from the issue of the Flow-Through Shares will be used by the Company to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's projects located in the Northwest Territories, Canada on or before December 31, 2025. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2024.

Canaccord Genuity acted as financial advisor to LIFT in connection with the Offering.
