Completion of Merger with Piedmont

 

Sayona Mining Limited (“Sayona” or “Company”) (ASX:SYA; NASDAQ: ELVR; OTCQB:SYAXF) advises that further to its announcement on 25 August 2025, the Company is pleased to announce that Completion of the Merger with Piedmont Lithium Inc. (Piedmont) (previously NASDAQ: PLL; ASX:PLL) occurred on Friday 29 August 2025 (ET) / Saturday 30 August 2025 (AEST).

 

Under the Merger, a newly formed U.S. subsidiary of Sayona has merged with and into Piedmont, resulting in Sayona Shareholders and Piedmont Stockholders accounting for an approximate 50% / 50% equity holding in Sayona (on an undiluted basis) immediately following Completion and prior to the Conditional Placement.

 

Please note that Sayona shareholders do not need to take any action and SYA shares will trade as normal.

 

As detailed in the Company’s Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum dated 20 June 2025, Piedmont Chess Depository Instrument (CDI) holders will receive SYA shares at the ratio of 5.27 SYA fully paid ordinary shares for each PLL CDI.

 

Holders of Piedmont common stock (trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange) will receive 0.35133 Sayona ADSs corresponding to 527 Sayona Shares for each share of Piedmont Common Stock held immediately prior to Completion. The Sayona ADSs will trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker ELVR.

 

Additionally, once the name change to Elevra Lithium is approved by ASIC, the ASX listed shares will then change ticker to ELV. This is expected to occur in late September 2025.

 

The trading of Sayona and Piedmont securities on the OTC market is not within the control of the Company and will be determined solely by the OTC market sponsors.

 

Sayona’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Lucas Dow, said: “Today marks a defining milestone in our Company’s journey as we complete the merger with Piedmont Lithium. By uniting two complementary businesses, we have created a stronger, globally significant lithium company with the scale, resources, and partnerships to lead in the energy transition.

 

“This merger is not just about combining assets—it’s about unlocking synergies, strengthening our market position, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders, stakeholders, and communities. I am incredibly proud of what our teams have achieved to reach this point and excited about the opportunities ahead as we move forward together as Elevra Lithium.”

 

Changes to the Sayona Board

 

With effect from Completion of the Merger:

 

Dawne Hickton has been appointed as a Sayona Non-Executive Director and as Chair designate;
Christina Alvord, Jeff Armstrong and Jorge M. Beristain have been appointed as Sayona Non-Executive Directors;
James Brown will transition from an Executive Director to a Non-Executive Director of Sayona; and
