Arcadium Lithium Makes Application to Cease to be a Reporting Issuer in Canada

PHILADELPHIA and PERTH, Australia, May 10, 2024 /CNW/ -- Arcadium Lithium plc (NYSE: ALTM) (ASX: LTM), "Arcadium Lithium" or "the Company") today announced that it has applied to the Autorité des marchés financiers, as principal regulator, and the Ontario Securities Commission, (collectively, the "Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities") for an order (the "Order Sought") to cease to be a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (collectively, the "Jurisdictions").  

The Company has made this application following the completion of the merger of equals transaction between Allkem Limited and Livent Corporation that resulted in the creation of the Company.  If the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities grant the Order Sought, the Company will cease to be a reporting issuer in the Jurisdictions.  As a result, the Company will no longer be required to file financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents in Canada pursuant to Canadian securities laws.

A decision by the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities to permit the Company to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada will not affect the Company's listings on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX" and together with the NYSE, the "Foreign Exchanges") or its reporting obligations in the United States or Australia.

In this regard, Canadian resident securityholders will continue to have access to all financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents required to be filed publicly by the Company under United States and Australian securities laws and the rules of the Foreign Exchanges.  Continuous disclosure documents of the Company as required by United States and Australian securities laws and the rules of the Foreign Exchanges are available at: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search-and-access and the website of the ASX at www.asx.com.au (and in relation to certain periodic reporting, through the Australian Securities and Investment Commission at www.asic.gov.au), respectively, and on the investor relations section of the Company's website at https://ir.arcadiumlithium.com/.  The Company's securityholders resident in Canada will continue to receive copies of the continuous disclosure documents that are required to be delivered to securityholders in the United States and Australia, in the same manner and at the same time as are required under the applicable securities laws of the United States and Australia as well as the rules of the Foreign Exchanges.
