FULL CIRCLE LITHIUM ANNOUNCES $5.0 MILLION NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Early-stage fire safety tech scales commercialization with a $5M capital raise to fund production and retail expansion.

Executive Summary
  • Full Circle Lithium Corp. announced a non-brokered private placement of up to 12,500,000 units at $0.40 per unit, targeting gross proceeds of up to $5.0 million.
  • Each unit comprises one common share and one-half of a warrant exercisable at $0.70 per share for 18 months, with acceleration provisions if the share price hits $0.90 for 10 consecutive days.
  • Proceeds will fund production capacity expansion, inventory buildup, supply chain optimization, and the commercialization of the FCL-X™ lithium-ion battery fire suppression agent.
  • The offering is restricted to accredited investors in Canada and the U.S., with a four-month statutory hold and a twelve-month contractual transfer restriction.
  • Closing is expected around June 30, 2026, subject to customary conditions.
Material Impact
  • Dilution: The issuance of 12.5M shares represents approximately 12.7% dilution on the current ~98.4M share count. The accompanying 6.25M warrants add further potential dilution if exercised, though they are currently out-of-the-money ($0.70 strike vs. $0.42 price).
  • Pricing & Terms: The $0.40 unit price aligns with the recent trading range, indicating no significant discount to market. The non-brokered structure saves on finder's fees (capped at 7%), preserving capital efficiency.
  • Cash Runway: Prior-period context shows $2.27M in cash as of FY-2025. The $5M raise brings total liquidity to ~$7.27M. Given a FY-2025 operating cash burn of ~$2.22M and SG&A of $691k, this extends runway by roughly 2.5 to 3 years, assuming current burn rates hold. However, scaling production and retail distribution will likely increase operating expenses, compressing the effective runway.
  • Strategic Alignment: The capital directly funds the "expand production capacity" and "strengthen inventory" mandates highlighted in prior March 2026 operational updates. It de-risks the immediate need for another financing event while the company transitions from early pilot sales to broader commercialization.
