VANCOUVER, Feb 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Lithium X Energy Corp.  ("Lithium X" or the "Company") (TSXV: LIX) (OTC: LIXXF) is pleased to announce that securityholders have approved the Company's previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with NextView New Energy Lion Hong Kong Limited ("NextView") at the Special Meeting of shareholders and warrantholders held today.

Under the Arrangement, NextView will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares ("Shares") and common share purchase warrants ("Warrants") of Lithium X for cash consideration of $2.61 per Share and $0.01 per Warrant.

At the Meeting, the special resolution approving the Arrangement was approved by 98.27% of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or by proxy. In addition, the Arrangement was approved by 98.30% of the votes cast by shareholders and warrantholders present in person or by proxy (voting together as a single class).

"As the final days of Lithium X draw nearer, I'm reminded of Michael Jordan who on reflection of his five NBA crowns quoted 'Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.' I would like to take this moment to thank the Lithium X team and board of directors who tirelessly championed the acquisition, development and ultimate sale of the Sal de Los Angeles Project ("SDLA"). We are passing the ball to NextView and wish them the very best in making SDLA the world's next significant lithium producer," said Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman of Lithium X.

Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to, among other things, final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, with the hearing for the final order to approve the Arrangement being scheduled for February 7, 2018. The Arrangement is expected to become effective on or about February 14, 2018.
