Piedmont Lithium’s Strategic Share Sale

Piedmont Lithium (Nasdaq: PLL; ASX: PLL), a leader in supplying crucial lithium resources to the US electric vehicle (EV) supply chain, has entered an agreement to sell a portion of its Atlantic Lithium (AIM: ALL; ASX: A11) shares to Assore International Holdings (‘Assore’).
Piedmont Lithium has signed off 24.3 million Atlantic shares at GBP0.25 each, a premium to the market price, resulting in US$7.8 million in proceeds. The transaction brings Assore’s Atlantic ownership to about 28.4%, while Piedmont retains a 5.2% stake with 32.7 million shares. Notably, this sale impacts neither Piedmont’s joint venture nor its Ewoyaa project commitments.
‘Having ended 2023 with substantial capital, we’re leveraging our Atlantic shares to reinforce our financial position,’ stated Keith Phillips, Piedmont’s President and CEO. ‘Despite a cautious approach due to the current market, we are well-positioned for the anticipated lithium sector rebound.’
