Update on Proposed Acquisition of Recyclus Group

 

Further to the announcement on 4 July 2024, Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the UK's pioneering firm in establishing a circular economy for battery metals, provides the following update regarding the proposed acquisition of the remaining issued capital of its 48.35% owned battery recycling business, Recyclus Group Ltd ("Recyclus").

 

Technology Minerals and Recyclus have agreed not to continue with the merger of the two businesses at this time because of the reverse takeover re-admission requirements of the London Stock Exchange and have decided to revisit the process when circumstances permit, and the prevailing equity market conditions are more favourable. In the meantime, the Company remains focused on supporting Recyclus in its growth strategy. The Company does not believe its share price reflects the value of its holding in Recyclus, and that shareholders' interests are best served by not continuing with the merger at this point.

 

The Company has recently announced Recyclus' increased commercial activity as it continues ramping-up production at its first lithium-ion recycling plant. Recyclus is also in advanced discussions with several new potential industry and financial partners from the UK and global organisations to provide additional financial flexibility to support its development plans.

 

Robin Brundle, Chairman of Technology Minerals, said: "Technology Minerals is excited by the recent developments at Recyclus and fully supportive of its growth plans and the potential for new partners alongside the Company. We intend to revisit our merger strategy when market conditions improve and it is beneficial to shareholders."
