MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Sigma Lithium Corporation (the "Company") are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. When alternative accounting methods exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. Financial statements are not exact since they include certain amounts based on estimates and judgments. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.

 

The Board is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee.

 

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board, and all of its members are independent directors. The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year with management, and with the external auditors, to discuss internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues, to satisfy itself that each party is properly discharging its responsibilities, and to review the quarterly and the annual reports, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the external auditor’s reports. The Audit Committee reports its findings to the Board for consideration when approving the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for issuance to the shareholders. The Audit Committee also considers, for review by the Board and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or reappointment of the external auditors.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six-Month Periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

1.        Corporate information

 

Sigma Lithium Corporation (the “Company” or “Sigma Lithium” or “Sigma”), together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is a commercial producer of lithium oxide concentrate.

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Sigma Lithium Holdings Inc. (“Sigma Holdings”), which is domiciled in Canada and incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in Brazil, Sigma Mineração S.A. (“Sigma Brazil”) and Sigma Industrial de Lítio S.A (“Sigma Industrial”).

 

Sigma Brazil holds a 100% interest in four mineral properties: Grota do Cirilo, São José, Santa Clara, and Genipapo, located in the municipalities of Araçuaí and Itinga, in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region (referred as thereafter as “Jequitinhonha Valley”) in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil (together, the “Lithium Properties”), where our operating assets are located.

 

The Company’s common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) on May 9, 2018, under the symbol “SGML” (formerly “SGMA”) and on September 13, 2021, on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the symbol was unified to “SGML”. On July 24, 2023, Sigma Lithium began trading its unsponsored Brazilian Depositary Receipts (“BDR’s”) on B3, the Brazilian Stock Exchange. Unsponsored BDRs are issued by depository institutions without the participation of the foreign companies that issued the backing securities, being classified only as Level I Unsponsored BDRs.

 

2.        Basis of preparation

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, under International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the Company’s annual unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, ("2024 Annual Financial Statements").

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost method, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value.

 

All the amounts presented in United States Dollars (“US$”) have been translated from the Company's functional currency and may contain immaterial rounding.

 

As a result, the following explanatory notes are not repeated in this interim financial information either due to redundancy or materiality in relation to those previously presented in the annual financial statements:

 

Note 2.4 – Accounting policies
Note 3 – Use of judgments and estimates
Note 4 – New accounting standards and interpretations
Note 11.g – Property, plant and equipment - Impairment of non-financial assets
Note 28.b – Stock-based compensation - Stock option
Note 29 – Commitments

 

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board on August 14, 2025.

Sigma Lithium Corporation

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six-Month Periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

2.1.     Transactions eliminated on consolidation

 

Intra-group balances and transactions, as well as any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.

 

2.2.     Functional currency

 

The Company's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and that best reflects its business and operations. The Company’s operations are held by the Brazilian subsidiary, Sigma Mineração S.A., which provides the entirety of the inflows and outflows of the Company, including any dividends to be remitted. The Parent Company in Canada is a pure holding company with no operations and depends on the Brazilian subsidiary to provide its cash flow. The prices of the lithium commodity are globally referenced in U.S. dollars to provide reference for market players located in different countries and different currencies. Consequently, the Company’s revenues are translated into the Brazilian Real, which is the currency that most of the costs for supplying products or services are incurred and which the costs are normally expressed and settled. Accordingly, the Company’s functional currency is the Brazilian Real ("R$").

 

2.3.     Presentation currency of the financial statements

 

On January 1, 2025, the Company elected to change its presentation currency from Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) to United States Dollars (“US$”). This change was made to better reflect the Company’s business operations and to enhance the comparability of its financial results with those of other publicly traded companies in the mining industry. The change in presentation currency has been applied retrospectively, and comparative financial information has been restated as though US$ had always been the Company’s presentation currency, in accordance with IAS 21 and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

 

For reporting periods prior to January 1, 2025, the statements of financial position have been translated from the functional currency (R$) to the new presentation currency (US$) using the exchange rates prevailing at each respective reporting date. Equity items, however, have been translated using historical accumulated rates dating back to the Company’s incorporation in 2018. The statements of income / (loss) and comprehensive income / (loss) were translated at average exchange rates for each reporting period, or at the rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising from the translation of 2024 financial information from R$ (functional currency) to US$ (presentation currency) have been recognized in other comprehensive income / (loss) and accumulated in a separate component of equity.

 

In compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company also presented a third statement of financial position as of January 1, 2024. Equity balances were restated using historical average exchange rates, except for significant transactions, which were translated using the actual historical rates. Any resulting differences were recorded as adjustments to the foreign currency translation reserve.

 

As of June 30, 2025, the main exchange rates used by the Company to convert the financial information with a currency different from functional currency were as follows: US$1.00 was equivalent to R$5.4571 (R$6.1923 on December 31, 2024) and CAD$1.00 was equivalent to R$4.0067 (R$4.3047 on December 31, 2024), based on the rates published by the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

2.4.     Going concern

 

The Company’s management believes that it has adequate resources to continue its operations. Therefore, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025, have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Export Prepayment Trade Finance

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into export prepayment agreements with financial institutions for a total of $171,778. These agreements have maturities ranging from 90 to 360 days and carry interest rates between 7.0% p.a. and 10.5% p.a. Additionally, the Company repaid $121,742 in export prepayment agreements, the maturities which occurred during the year.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company entered into export prepayment agreements with financial institutions for a total amount of $39,015. These agreements have maturities ranging from 30 to 180 days and bear interest rates between 9.0% p.a. and 10.7% p.a. Additionally, the Company repaid $55,657 related to export prepayment agreements that matured during this period.

 

Export Prepayment Agreement – Synergy

 

On December 13, 2022, the Company, through Sigma Brazil, entered into an export prepayment agreement in the amount of $100 million, with annual interest payments based on the 12-month Bloomberg short-term bank yield index (“BSBY”) plus 6.95% per annum and maturing on December 13, 2026. On December 13, 2022, Sigma Brazil drew down $60 million. The balance of $40 million was disbursed in two subsequent drawdowns of $20 million each, on February 28, 2023, and on March 16, 2023.

 

The Company paid at the inception of the agreement $12,686 (Note 8) as collateral, based on an amount equal to twelve months of interest accrual for the first interest period, and an upfront fee of $2,964. Principal repayments of the Loan are due 48 days after the end of the Company’s first and third quarters ending March 31 and September 30, respectively, each year, being the first measurement date, the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Repayments will be determined based on an amount equivalent to 50% of the Company’s net cash generated from operating activities plus 50% of the net cash generated from investing activities for the prior six-month period ended March 31 and September 30.

 

The loan contains an embedded prepayment feature, whereby the Company must pay an early prepayment premium of 4% during the first year of the loan, reducing proportionately from 4% to 1% after the first anniversary, finishing at 1% at the end of the fourth year. The fair value of this embedded derivative has been estimated and does not differ significantly from the nominal amount and, accordingly, no adjustments were made, since it is closely related to the primary indexation of the loan.

 

The loan is guaranteed by the Company's assets, rights, licenses, receivables, contracts (with flexibility to enter/terminate/amend offtake agreements) and a pledge of 100% of Sigma Lithium Holdings Inc’s share interest in Sigma Brazil. The security will rank first in respect to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company, except in relation to permitted indebtedness of up to $100 million and R$100 million.

 

As of November 15, 2024, the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) was discontinued. In response to this change, we have transitioned to using the 12-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as our benchmark rate. For interest payments after December 2024, the new rate applied will be SOFR + 6.95%.

 

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized interest expense on this contract in the amount of $5,551 ($6,291 as of June 30, 2024).

14.      Lease liability

 

The lease liabilities are primarily related to the land leases owned by Miazga Participações S.A. (“Miazga”) and Arqueana, a related party (note 11), while the remaining lease contracts relate to land, apartments and houses, commercial spaces, operational equipment, and vehicle leases with third parties.

 

The lease agreements have terms between 1 year to 12 years and the liability was measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using interest rates, with a weighted average rate of 9.69% which was determined to be the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

On October 4, 2024, the Northeast Development Authority – “SUDENE” approved Sigma Brazil the tax benefit of a 75% reduction in income tax, also known as Profit from Exploration, and issued the Constitutive Report. This tax benefit allows the Company to reduce its current income tax payment by approximately 75%, starting in 2024, for the next ten years. The amount saved will be transferred to a reserve account for tax incentives within the equity accounts and cannot be distributed to the shareholders. For the six-months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a reserve for tax incentives in the amount of $187 ($3,440 as of December 31, 2024) - see note 20.d.

19.      Financial instruments

 

a)Identification and measurement of financial instruments

 

The Company enters into transactions involving various financial instruments, mainly cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable to suppliers, and loans and export prepayment, which may contain embedded derivatives.

 

The amounts recorded in current assets and current liabilities have immediate liquidity or short-term maturity, mostly less than three-months. Considering the maturities and features of such instruments, their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

b)Financial risk management:

 

The Company uses risk management strategies in which the nature and general position of financial risks are regularly monitored and managed to assess results and the financial impact on cash flow.

The Company is exposed to exchange rates, interest rates, market price, credit risk and liquidity risks.

 

·    Foreign Exchange rate risk

 

The exposure arises from the existence of assets and liabilities generated in U.S dollar, since the Company's functional currency is the Brazilian Real.

·    Sensitivity analysis

 

We present below the sensitivity analysis for foreign exchange risks. The Company considered probable scenario(1), scenarios 1 and 2 as 10%, and 20%, respectively, of deterioration for volatility of the currency, using as reference the exchange rate on June 30, 2025.

 

The currencies used in the sensitivity analysis and its scenarios are shown below:

 

 

   6/30/2025
Currency  Exchange rate  Probable scenario (1)  Scenario 1 (+/-10%)  Scenario 2
(+/-20%)
CAD (+)   4.0067    3.9273    4.3200    4.7128 
CAD (-)   4.0067    3.9273    3.5346    3.1418 
USD (+)   5.4571    5.4052    5.9457    6.4862 
USD (-)   5.4571    5.4052    4.8647    4.3242 

 

The effects on profit and loss, considering scenarios 1 and 2 are shown below:

 

   6/30/2025
   Notional  Probable scenario (1)  Scenario 1  Scenario 2
Canadian dollar-denominated (+)   (4,395)   89    (319)   (658)
Canadian dollar-denominated (-)   (4,395)   89    587    1,210 
U.S dollar-denominated (+)   (108,954)   1,046    (8,954)   (17,287)
U.S dollar-denominated (-)   (108,954)   1,046    13,268    28,546 
                     

 

(1) Sensitivity analysis of the scenario probable was measured using as reference the exchange rate, published by the Central Bank of Brazil, on Aug 12, 2025.

 

·    Interest rate risk


This risk arises from short and long-term financial investments, financing and export prepayment linked to fixed and floating interest rates of the CDI, SELIC and SOFR, exposing these financial assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations as shown in the sensitivity analysis framework.

 

·    Sensitivity analysis of interest rate variations


The Company considered scenario probable and scenarios 1 and 2 of changes in interest rates volatility as of June 30, 2025.

(1) Sensitivity analysis of the probable scenario was measured using as reference the rates on July 15, 2025.

 

During 2024, the Company entered into a swap operation with the objective of exchanging the interest exposure of an advance on foreign exchange contract calculated in US$, which is originally calculated on the notional amount in US$, to DI plus an interest rate calculated on the notional amount in R$. The table below demonstrates the swap results up to June 30, 2025, recognized in the financial result.

·    Market price risk

 

Provisional pricing adjustments – The Company’s products may be provisionally priced at the date revenue is recognized and a provisional invoice issued. Provisionally priced receivables are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss under IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. The final selling price for all provisionally priced products is based on forward market price based on the contract terms stipulated. The change in value of the provisionally priced receivable is based on relevant forward market prices. For contracts with variable pricing dependent on the content of minerals in the product delivered, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the products. The fair value of the final sale price adjustment is reassessed at each reporting date, based on all variable pricing elements and any changes are recognized as operational revenue in the statement of loss.

 

For June 2025, the Company recorded an adjustment to the provisional pricing, reflecting relevant differences between the price initially used and the price established for June sales.

 

 

The sensitivity of the Company’s risk related to the final settlement of provisional pricing accounts receivable expected to be determined during the second quarter of 2025 is detailed below:

 

      Shipment     Effect on
   Volume (kt) (3)  average  price  Variation  Sales Revenue
                     
Lithium oxide concentrate (Probable)(1)   113,570    846    11    1,234 
Lithium oxide concentrate (+20%)(2)   113,570    924    54    6,136 
Lithium oxide concentrate (-20%)(2)   113,570    616    (54)   (6,136)

 

(1) The sensitivity analysis for the probable scenario was measured using June 30, 2024, futures price from the Guangzhou Futures Exchange as a reference.

(2) Provisional price on June 30, 2025.

(3) Total volume of contracts with exposure to market price fluctuation

 

·    Credit risk

 

The credit risk management policy aims to minimize the possibility of not receiving sales made and amounts invested, deposited or guaranteed by financial institutions and counterparties, through analysis, granting and management of credits, using quantitative and qualitative parameters.

Sigma Lithium Corporation

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six-Month Periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The Company manages its credit risk by receiving in advance a substantial portion of its sales or by being guaranteed by letters of credit.

 

Credit granted to financial institutions is used to accept guarantees and invest cash surpluses.

 

·    Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due.

 

The Company’s management of cash is focused on funding ongoing capital needs for operating the Greentech Plant, developing the Company’s growth opportunities (including Phase 2) and for general corporate expenditures. Management intends to use cash generated by its operating activities to meet its obligations. To the extent the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet obligations, it will consider securing additional equity or debt funding.

 

The Company continuously monitors its cash outflows and seeks opportunities to minimize all costs, to the extent possible, as well as its general and administrative expenses.

 

The following table shows the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including accrued interest.

 

Contractual obligations   Up to 1 year    1-3 years    4-5 years    More than 5 years    Total 
Suppliers   44,325    -    -    -    44,325 
Loans and export prepayment   53,652    106,686    6,266    1,564    168,168 
Lease liabilities   2,327    1,245    641    529    4,742 

 

a)        Capital Management

 

The Company’s objective in managing its capital is to ensure that the Company is able to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, continue its operations, and has sufficient capital to be able to meet its strategic objectives, including the continued exploration and development of its existing mineral projects and the identification of additional projects. The Company’s primary source of capital is derived from equity issuances. As of June 30, 2025, capital consisted of equity attributable to common shareholders of $91,923 ($92,340 as of December 31, 2024). The Company has no externally imposed capital requirements and manages its capital structure in accordance with its strategic objectives and changes in economic conditions. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares in the form of private placements and/or secondary public offerings. There has been no change in the Company’s approach to capital management since the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

b)        Fair values of assets and liabilities as compared to their carrying amounts.

 

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in current and non-current assets and liabilities, while any gains and losses are recognized as financial income or financial costs, respectively.

 

The amounts are recognized in these financial statements at their carrying amounts, which are substantially similar to those that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. The fair values of other long-term assets and liabilities do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts, including the export prepayment agreement and BDMG loan, since both are based on floating interest rates such as SOFR and SELIC, respectively. Given the very specific condition of the export prepayment loan, the Company was not able to quantify an equivalent loan with similar condition for the same borrower that could be considered to measure the fair value for this facility.

d)         Reserve for tax incentives

 

On October 4, 2024, the Northeast Development Authority – “SUDENE” approved Sigma Brazil for the tax benefit of a 75% reduction in income tax (a federal tax), also known as Profit from Exploration, and issued the Constitutive Report. This tax benefit will allow the Company to reduce its current income tax expenses by approximately 75%, starting in 2024, for the next ten years. The tax incentive received by Sigma can be granted to new ventures located in the SUDENE, Espírito Santo, and cities in northern Minas Gerais (such as Araçuaí and Itinga) and applies to projects for implementation, modernization, expansion, or diversification of these companies. The amount saved cannot be distributed to the shareholders and will be added to a reserve account for tax incentives within the equity accounts. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a reserve for tax incentives in the amount of $187 ($3,440 as of December 31, 2024).

 Total net sales revenue   16,888    45,920    64,560    83,122 

The amount includes: (1) $5,120 of final price adjustment for the three months period ended Jun 30, 2025, (2) $496 of interest of pre-payment of cargo for the three months period ended June 30, 2025, and (3) $977 of interest of pre-payment of cargo for the six months period ended June 30, 2025.

 

Shipment contracts are established with provisional terms and are subject to adjustments based on the variability of underlying lithium oxide concentrate market prices, as well as the confirmation of the lithium oxide grade of the shipment certificate of analysis by re-assaying at port of delivery. Consequently, the final settlement value may differ from the initial recorded value. Changes in this value are permanently monitored during the quotational period of each shipment and any provisional pricing adjustments are recognized as revenue in the statement of income (loss). Sales at the outset are booked adjusted for lithium oxide grade and net of moisture based on the assaying at the Brazilian port.

26.      Stock-based compensation

 

(a)       Restricted share units (RSU)

 

The Company’s Board has adopted an Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan received majority shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSXV at the annual and special meetings of the Company’s shareholders held on June 28, 2019, and was last amended, by a majority of votes in a shareholders’ meeting held on June 30, 2023. The Equity Incentive Plan is available to (i) the directors of the Company, (ii) the officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and (iii) designated service providers who spend a significant amount of time and attention on the affairs and business of the Company or a subsidiary thereof (each, a “Participant”), all as selected by the Company’s Board or a committee appointed by the Company’s Board to administer the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan Administrators”).

 

Under the approved Equity Incentive Plan a total of 18,120,878 RSUs and/or Options could be granted and converted into shares, out of which 15,252,838 equity units have already been granted or issued. A total of 2,868,040 equity units remain available for new grants. The exercise of RSUs is typically either milestones driven or has calendar weighted vesting schedules.

 

The accounting of RSUs granted to awardees is undertaken in accordance with the status of the grant, as follows:

 

a) Upon Board approval of the awardees grants: the Company commences accrual of unvested RSUs expenses throughout the vesting period. RSU expenses are calculated based on as per the stock price on the date of the Board approval.

 

b) Upon vesting of RSUs: end of accrual period. Once the awardees exercises the RSUs, shares are issued to the awardees.

 

    Number of RSUs 
Balance, January 1, 2024   1,363,660 
Exercised (1)    (1,207,808)
Forfeited (2)    (207,000)
Granted (3)   435,000 
Balance, December 31, 2024   383,852 
Exercised   (14,700)
Forfeited (4)    (185,875)
Balance, June 30, 2025   183,277 

 

(1) out of the total amount of RSUs exercised in the year ended December 31,2024, 430,925 RSUs are related to packages granted to former directors related to their 2022/2023 year mandate, and 136,500 RSUS are related to packages granted to former and current directors related to their 2023/2024 year mandate.

 

(2) The amount includes 75,000 RSUs granted to former and current directors, related to the conclusion of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) during their 2023/2024 year mandate, which did not happen. The remaining amount relates to packages granted to employees that have left the Company before the packages vested.

 

(3) The amount includes 162,000 RSUs granted to members of the Board, related to their 2023/2024-year and 2024/2025-year mandates. The remainder pertains to new retention packages awarded to employees and consultants of the Company.

 

(4) The amount includes 15,000 RSUs previously granted to a former director, for their 2024 / 2025 year mandate, which was forfeited since the director resigned his position in the Board. The remaining amount relates to packages granted to employees or consultants that have left the Company before the packages vested.

(b)       Stock options

 

On April 12, 2022, the Company entered into an investor relations agreement with a service provider, in which a total of 100,000 stock options were granted. The Board approved on April 22, 2024, the grant of stock options at a price of $14.31, equivalent to the fair value per share on April 11, 2022.

 

The Company has used a Black-Scholes valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the stock options throughout the period, with the following assumptions:

 

    4/22/2024 
Risk-free rate   3.82%
Expected equity volatility   66.34%
Average share price   27.27 
Expected dividend rate   - 

 

Given that the exercise expiry date of the stock options was on April 25, 2025, and the service provider did not exercise any stock options, the stock options expired and are no longer outstanding, as of June 30, 2025.

 

Previous Exercise
Expiry date
  Weighted average remaining exercisable life (years)  Number of options  Grant date (exercisable) fair value
April 25, 2025  N/A – stock options expired   100,000   $17.47 

 

(c)       Measurement of stock-based compensation

 

The total stock-based compensation is a non-cash item in the period. It is accounted in the Income Statement as per the accounts below (non-cash item). It is also accounted for in the shareholder´s equity as a provision. Upon vesting of RSU´s (conditional to certain employee meeting their performance metrics) the provision is transferred to the Company´s share capital.

On March 18, 2024, the Company received an Initiation Letter of Arbitration by LG Group subsidiary, LG Energy Solution, Ltd. (“LG-ES“) from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association. LG-ES is alleging that Sigma Lithium is in breach of certain provisions in connection with the Term-Sheet dated October 5, 2021, relating to offtake arrangements for the purchase of lithium oxide from the Company. The Term-Sheet was subject to, amongst other things, completion of the negotiation of definitive written agreements between the parties. The Company believes the claims are without merit. The legal counsel of the Company has formally attributed the probability of LG prevailing in this arbitration as possible. The amount involved is currently undetermined.
