TMC announced that Korea Zinc has agreed to make a strategic investment of approximately $85.2 million in the Company through the purchase of common shares and warrants in a private placement. The investment was approved by TMC‘s Board of Directors and is expected to close on June 26, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Korea Zinc will purchase 19.6 million common shares at the last market closing price of $4.34 per share and will receive a three-year warrant to purchase 6.9 million common shares with an exercise price of $7.00 per share, subject to compulsory exercise provisions should TMC common shares trade above $10.00 for 20 consecutive trading days. Upon closing, Korea Zinc will become one of TMC’s largest strategic shareholders with ownership of approximately 5% of the Company’s outstanding common shares. Korea Zinc is currently evaluating a bulk sample of nodule material supplied by The Metals Company (TMC) USA, under an existing LOI, with its R&D team to validate intermediate processing and refining pathways and potential synergies through vertical integration. Korea Zinc has expressed interest in working with TMC USA to establish processing, refining and potentially pCAM manufacturing capacity in the United States.
