November 14, 2024 – Vancouver, B.C., 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)

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 e ligible “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,
