VANCOUVER, March 12, 2018 /CNW/ - Lithium X Energy Corp.  ("Lithium X" or the "Company") (TSXV: LIX) (OTC: LIXXF) is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between the Company and NextView New Energy Lion Hong Kong Limited ("NextView") whereby all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Shares") and common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") of Lithium X were acquired by NextView's wholly-owned British Columbia subsidiary, NNEL Holding Corp. ("NNEL Holding").

The Arrangement was completed under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia and was approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in its final order dated February 7, 2018. Each shareholder of the Company received cash consideration of CAD$2.61 for each Share held and each warrantholder of the Company received cash consideration of CAD$0.01 for each Warrant held. Immediately prior to the Arrangement, NextView and NNEL Holding did not own or control any Shares or Warrants of Lithium X.

It is expected that the Shares will be de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange and that Lithium X will cease to be a reporting issuer.

Registered holders of Lithium X securities should send their completed and executed letters of transmittal and certificates representing their Lithium X Shares and Warrants to the depositary, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in order to receive the consideration to which they are entitled under the Arrangement.

NextView stated: "We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of Lithium X whose wholly-owned Sal de los Angeles lithium project in Argentina (the "SDLA Project") represents a perfect fit with our strategy to invest in long-life lithium assets with near-term production. The SDLA Project has a world class mineral resource exceeding 2 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, advanced production and processing technology, and a clear roadmap to achieving design capacity. The acquisition secures long-term supply of battery grade lithium, a critical raw material for manufacturing electric vehicle ("EV") batteries and firmly establishes our upstream presence on the EV supply chain. The growth outlook for the new energy and EV sectors in China and globally remains very strong and we are committed to continuing to make investments in high quality assets along the value chain."
