Allkem Shareholders vote in favour of merger with Livent - Seite 2

Next steps

The Livent stockholder meeting is scheduled to be held on 19 December 2023 (New York time), at which Livent stockholders will vote on the adoption of the Transaction Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by it. The affirmative vote of a majority of Livent stock entitled to vote at the Livent stockholder meeting is a condition to implementation of the Scheme.

If Livent stockholders approve the adoption of the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it, Allkem will apply to the Federal Court of Australia for approval of the Scheme at a hearing scheduled for 2:15 pm (AWST) on 20 December 2023 (“Second Court Hearing”).¹ 

If the Court approves the Scheme at the Second Court Hearing, Allkem intends to lodge a copy of the orders of the Court with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on 21 December 2023 (AEDT), so that the Scheme will become effective on that date. If this occurs, Allkem Shares will be suspended from trading on ASX with effect from close of trading on 21 December 2023 (AEDT), and from trading on TSX with effect from 4:00pm (Toronto time) on 21 December 2023.

Implementation of the Scheme is expected to occur on 4 January 2023 (AEDT), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions precedent to the Scheme (including approval of the Scheme by the Court at the Second Court Hearing).
