European Lithium in Talks to Merge with Critical Metals at Large Premium

European Lithium ( (AU:EUR) ) has provided an announcement.

European Lithium has entered a non-binding indicative agreement for a scrip-based combination with NASDAQ-listed Critical Metals Corp., under which Critical Metals would acquire all European Lithium shares at an implied A$0.58 per share via a scheme of arrangement. The deal would also cancel European Lithium options for equivalent Critical Metals stock on a cashless basis and, if completed, would give European Lithium investors about 45% of the merged group while simplifying the structure around its existing stake in Critical Metals.

The proposal offers European Lithium shareholders a substantial premium to recent trading prices, enhanced liquidity through direct ownership of a NASDAQ-listed vehicle, and ongoing exposure to a consolidated portfolio of critical minerals assets. The transaction would also enable Critical Metals to consolidate 100% of the Tanbreez rare earths project in Greenland, eliminating minority discounts and clarifying governance, while an independent board committee at European Lithium oversees due diligence and negotiations toward a potential binding agreement.
