NEWS RELEASE
Edison Lithium Announces Regulatory Approval to Complete
Proposed Spin-Out of Cobalt Assets
Vancouver, British Columbia, November 28, 2023 – Edison Lithium Corp. (TSXV: EDDY; OTCQB:
EDDYF; FSE: VV0) (“Edison” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received conditional
approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) for the proposed plan of arrangement and
spin-out of its cobalt assets in northeastern Ontario, referred to as the Kittson Cobalt Property (the “ Spin-
Out”).
The Spin-Out will be achieved pursuant to an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) to
be executed between the Company and Edison Cobalt Corp. (“SpinCo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. Subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, approval of shareholders at a meeting of
Edison shareholders, approval of the British Columbia Supreme Court, and final acceptance of the
Exchange, the Company will spin out SpinCo to its shareholders and the Company’s Kittson -Cobalt
Property will be transferred to SpinCo in exchange for shares in the capital of SpinCo (“Spinco Shares”).
The SpinCo Shares will be distributed to the Company’s shareholders on a pro-rata one-for-one share basis.
The transaction will be completed by way of statutory plan of arrangement provisions of the Business
Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Transaction”).
There will be no change in Edison shareholders’ holdings in the Company as a result of the Spin-Out and,
if the Spin -Out is completed, shareholders will own shares in both companies, Edison and SpinCo. The
Company expects the Spin-Out will increase shareholder value by allowing capital markets to ascribe value
to the Kittson Cobalt Property independent of the Company’s lithium properties.
In connection with the Transaction, t he Company intends to seek a listing of the SpinCo Shares on the
Exchange, however no assurance can be provided that such a listing will be obtained. Listing will be subject
to SpinCo fulfilling all of the requirements of the Exchange.
SpinCo intends to undertake a private placement financing in order to raise gross proceeds of up to
$1,500,000 (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $0.05 per security with terms to be determined at a later
dated based on prevailing market conditions.
Nathan Rotstein, Edison’s CEO, commented, “We are pleased with this news which advances the process
of our being able to provide two “pure play” vehicles in the important battery metals space.”
Further details of the Spin-Out, Private Placement and timing of the meeting of Edison Shareholders will
be announced in a subsequent news release.
