European Metals intends to create a sustainable European lithium supply chain with a low carbon footprint that is strategically positioned in Europe to supply the world's elective vehicle market with high margin lithium battery chemicals.

The Company intends to utilise local suppliers and employees to create long-term sustainable development and work to minimise the carbon footprint of the Cinovec Battery Metals Project.

European Metals intends to work with end users of battery metals to shorten their supply chain, assure consumers of ESG best practices at every stage, and thereby reduce reliance on overseas battery metals, to enable growth in the green energy market within the European Union.

N/A

To be traded on AIM, securities must be able to be transferred and settled through the CREST system, including CDIs and DIs, to be held in electronic rather than in paper form.

The Australian equivalent of this system is called CHESS. Ordinary Shares held through CHESS on the Australian registry may be transferred into DIs held through CREST on the UK depositary registry and vice versa.

Notwithstanding the proposed re-domiciliation, the Ordinary Shares will remain listed and traded on the ASX, with trades settled electronically on the Australian registry through CHESS.

Please refer to the Notice of Annual General Meeting, posted to shareholders on 06 December 2023 and available on the Company's website (www.europeanmet.com), for the following details:

·    Background to migration of the Company to Australia (the "Migration")

·    Process of Migration

·    Advantages of the Migration

·    Disadvantages of the Migration

·    The New Constitution

·    Proportional Takeover Provisions

Information on admission and CREST settlement, the new constitution and some additional information are detailed below.

1.   Admission and CREST settlement

Upon completion of the Migration, to reflect that the Ordinary Shares will have become shares in a Australian company rather than a British Virgin Island company:

(a)        the ISIN of the DIs in Ordinary Shares will change to AU000000EMH5; and

(b)        the SEDOL of the DIs in Ordinary Shares will change to BSC9SJ5.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for 207,444,705 Ordinary Shares to be re-admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that the re-admission will become effective and that dealings in the Ordinary Shares will re-commence on 2 May 2024.

The last day of dealings in the Ordinary Shares before completion of the Migration is expected to be on 1 May 2024. The last day for registration of transfers of the Ordinary Shares and DIs before completion of the Migration is expected to be on 1 May 2024.

These dates may be deferred if there is any delay to the re-admission to AIM.

On the effective date of the Migration, all existing share certificates representing Ordinary Shares will not be cancelled and will continue to represent Ordinary Shares following the Migration; however, upon a transfer of Ordinary Shares represented by an existing share certificate, a new share certificate in the form adopted by the Company following the Migration will be issued to the transferee.

As a result of the Migration, the DIs over British Virgin Island shares that are currently traded on AIM in London will be DIs over Australian shares, which have a new ISIN and SEDOL. Under the AIM Rules, this requires a re-admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM, albeit as a "quoted applicant," as defined in Rule 2 of the AIM Rules and, accordingly, the re-admission will not require a full admission document, but rather a Schedule 1 to be submitted to AIM, no less than 20 business days prior to the date of re-admission. The Schedule 1 will be made available on the Company's website. It is not expected that this process will create any further interruption to the normal trading facilities of AIM afforded to Shareholders.

For shareholders who hold their existing Ordinary Shares in electronic form in a CREST account by way of the DIs established by the Company as at close of business on 1 May 2024, they will be replaced by new DIs in the Ordinary Shares (reflecting that European Metals will have become an Australian company) which will be credited to their CREST accounts on 2 May 2024.

However, if a DI holder has a preference under the Migration to receive shares on the Company's Australian share register rather than receive the new Australian DIs, then the following process should be applied:

·    A DI holder should submit a CREST withdrawal instruction to convert on a 1:1 basis their BVI DI holding into a holding of CDIs on the Australian register, maintained by the Company's Australian registrar Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited. CDIs can be held on the Australian register through CHESS or in Issuer sponsored form;

·    the BVI DIs shall then be withdrawn from CREST in the name of holder being registered with the CDIs, and if the CDIs are being delivered to a custody arrangement the Australian custodian shall be advised to accept their delivery; and

·    when the Migration is effected on the Australian CDI register, all CDIs will be automatically converted to shares.

Alternatively, once the new Australian DIs are issued, a DI holder of the new Australian DIs, if they wish, can request to withdraw the new Australian DIs and convert them on a 1:1 basis into shares on the Australian share register.

The Company will apply for the DIs to be re-admitted to CREST with effect from the re-admission.

2.   New Constitution

European Metals will adopt a memorandum of association and new articles of association, referred to as a constitution in Australia (the "New Articles" or "New Constitution") (together the "M&A") upon completion of the Migration, in replacement of the existing articles of incorporation and by-laws (the "Existing Articles").

The New Articles seek to keep the constitution upon Migration generally similar to the constitution pre-Migration and generally only to incorporate those changes required or expected by Australian law, AIM market practice or where European Metals wants to introduce enhanced shareholder rights and protections. The key differences in the New Articles as compared to the Existing Articles are as follows:

(a)  a right of shareholders holding at least 5% of the share capital to require a resolution to be put to shareholders at a general meeting along with minimum notice requirements will be included in the New Constitution;

(b)  the New Constitution will incorporate rights given to European Metals to sell shares that constitute less than a marketable parcel of shares in a class a class of shares, subject to the terms of the New Constitution and the listing rules of ASX;

(c)  provisions allowing for preference shares to be issued by European Metals at the directors' discretion;

(d)  restrictions on the offers of shares involving monetary consideration under employee incentive schemes;

(e)  increasing the minimum number of directors from one to three and placing a cap on the number of directors that can be appointed at any given time to ten;

(f)  the New Constitution includes the Proportional Takeover Provisions under Australian Law; and

(g)  certain administrative provisions differ between the Existing Articles and the New Constitution such as the treatment of calls, closure of registers, prohibition on transferring shares to infants and occasions when voting via polls is required.

The New Articles will be made available on the Company's website: www.europeanmet.com
