Transaction Term Sheet

 

This term sheet (including all exhibits, annexes, appendices and schedules to this term sheet, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Term Sheet”) summarizes the material terms and conditions of certain proposed deleveraging and recapitalization transactions involving Electra Battery Materials Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Transactions (as defined below) will be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement, dated as of August 21, 2025, as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Agreement”), to which this Term Sheet is attached as Exhibit A. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Term Sheet that are defined in the Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.

 

THIS TERM SHEET IS NOT AN OFFER, SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES. ANY SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS TERM SHEET SHALL BE AN ADMISSION OF FACT OR LIABILITY. THIS TERM SHEET DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL TERMS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS, WHICH TRANSACTIONS WILL BE SUBJECT TO DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTS, AND THE CLOSING OF ANY TRANSACTIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN SUCH DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTS.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Term Sheet and the undertakings contemplated herein are subject in all respects to the negotiation, execution, and delivery of definitive documents acceptable to the Company and the Consenting Convertible Noteholders in accordance with the Agreement. The regulatory, tax, accounting, and other legal and financial matters and effects related to the Transactions and any related or similar transaction have not been fully evaluated, and any such evaluation may affect the terms and structure of any Transaction or any related transactions.

 

This Term Sheet and the information contained herein are entitled to protection from any use or disclosure to any party or person pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any other similar applicable rule, statute, or doctrine protecting the use or disclosure of confidential settlement discussions.

 

OverviewThe “Transactions” means the following transactions (including to avoid doubt, the New Equity Offering (as defined below)), as set forth in the Agreement, this Term Sheet and the associated Definitive Documentation:

 

·Each Consenting Convertible Noteholder will exchange 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes beneficially owned or held by such Consenting Convertible Noteholder (such Convertible Notes, the “Equitized Notes”) for New Equity Offering Units (as defined below) as described below (such exchange, the “Equity Exchange”).

 

·Each Consenting Convertible Noteholder will exchange the remaining 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes beneficially owned or held by such Consenting Convertible Noteholder (such Convertible Notes, the “Rolled Notes”) for a combination of a new term loan having the terms set forth below (the “New Term Loan”) and Common Shares as described below (such exchange, the “Debt Exchange” and, together with the Equity Exchange, the “Exchanges”).

 

 

 

·The Consenting Convertible Noteholders will agree to backstop a portion of the New Equity Offering.

 

On or about the initial Agreement Effective Date, the Company will issue and sell to the Consenting Convertible Noteholders as of such date, and each Consenting Convertible Noteholder as of such date shall severally and not jointly purchase, an aggregate principal amount of new bridge notes (the “Bridge Notes”) as set forth on the signature page of such Consenting Convertible Noteholder to the Agreement.

 

Equity ExchangeThe Equity Exchange will be completed concurrently with the Debt Exchange and the New Equity Offering on the Transaction Effective Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, this Term Sheet and the Definitive Documentation for the Transactions.

 

Each Equitized Note will be exchanged for a number of New Equity Offering Units equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Equitized Note plus the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest amounts) on such Equitized Note to but excluding October 9, 2025 divided by (ii) US$0.75.

 

Debt ExchangeThe Debt Exchange will be completed concurrently with the Equity Exchange and the New Equity Offering on the Transaction Effective Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, this Term Sheet and the Definitive Documentation for the Transactions.

 

The Rolled Notes held by each Consenting Convertible Noteholder will be exchanged for the following: (i) an aggregate principal amount of New Term Loan equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Rolled Notes held by such Consenting Convertible Noteholder, (y) the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest amounts) on such Rolled Notes to but excluding the Transaction Effective Date and (z) the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest amounts) on the Equitized Notes beneficially owned or held by such Consenting Convertible Noteholder from and including October 9, 2025 to but excluding the Transaction Effective Date, and (ii) a number of Common Shares equal to 12.5% of the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of Rolled Notes held by such Consenting Convertible Noteholder and (y) the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest amounts) on such Rolled Notes to but excluding October 9, 2025 divided by US$0.90 (which is the closing price in U.S. dollars of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) on September 15, 2025). Based on the number of Rolled Notes held by all Consenting Convertible Noteholders, a total of 3,822,341 Common Shares will be issuable in the Debt Exchange.

 

 

 

New Equity OfferingThe Company will use its reasonable best efforts to complete an offering of units consisting of one Common Share together with one full warrant, each such full warrant to purchase one Common Share at a strike price US$1.25 and having a term of 3 years (each such unit, a “New Equity Offering Unit”), raising at least US$30,000,000 in gross cash proceeds on terms reasonably acceptable to the Consenting Convertible Noteholders (the “New Equity Offering”). All warrants issued in the New Equity Offering will be exercisable for cash and will not be exercisable on a “cashless,” “net share settle” or similar basis. The New Equity Offering will be completed concurrently with the Exchanges. The proceeds from the New Equity Offering will be used to (i) redeem or repay all amounts owing under the Bridge Notes, (ii) pay transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (including, without limitation, the Transaction Expenses (as defined below)), (iii) in the event the Company raises more than US$34,500,000 in the New Equity Offering, all amounts in excess of US$34,500,000 will be used to repurchase Convertible Notes (at a purchase price of par plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest amounts)) otherwise subject to exchange in the Equity Exchange, (iv) refinery construction, and (v) other general corporate purposes.

 

The Consenting Convertible Noteholders will agree to backstop (the “Backstop Commitment”) an aggregate US$10,000,000 of New Equity Offering Units to be sold in the New Equity Offering at a price per New Equity Offering Unit of US$0.75. All units sold pursuant to the Backstop Commitment shall be sold at the same price per New Equity Offering Unit as all other investors participating in the New Equity Offering. Each Consenting Convertible Noteholder will, severally and not jointly, be responsible to fund that portion of the Backstop Commitment equal to its pro rata ownership of Convertible Notes, calculated based on the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes held by all Consenting Convertible Noteholders. The Consenting Convertible Noteholders’ respective obligations to purchase securities pursuant to the Backstop Commitment will be reduced to the extent third party investors purchase more than US$20,000,000 in the New Equity Offering.
