Pitch

About the Campaign

The world is finally waking up to the vulnerabilities in global critical mineral supply chains - particularly the lack of mid-stream refining capacity outside China. This bottleneck threatens the pace and resilience of the energy transition.

From its UK base, Green Lithium is building independent lithium refining capacity to directly address the mid-stream gap.

With supply agreements in place and first chemicals already produced, Green Lithium has a clear pathway to commercial production. We believe we are well positioned to capitalise on the next upward lithium market cycle - delivering new forward facing industrial capability and a secure supply of lithium chemicals for the energy transition.

Market Opportunity

Europe’s energy transition is accelerating, yet its supply chain for critical battery materials remains vulnerable. Today, the European EV and energy storage sectors are overwhelmingly reliant on lithium chemicals refined in China - a single-source dependency that poses risks to critical raw material supply and energy transition targets.

At the same time, demand for lithium chemicals in Europe is forecast to grow exponentially, driven by OEM electrification targets, and grid-scale storage deployment. Despite this, Europe has virtually no local refining capacity to meet its needs.

We believe the solution is clear, establishing a lithium refining capability in the UK will:

1 | Secure supply chains for cathode producers, battery manufacturers, and OEMs in Europe

2 | Enable downstream investment in battery manufacturing, recycling, and circular economy initiatives

3 | Build new future facing industrial capability in the UK & strengthen its manufacturing sector

Traction & Key Accomplishments

In the past 18 months Green Lithium has made excellent progress:

Jul-24 | MoU for lithium chemical offtake signed.

Oct-24 | Supply chain commercial partnership with Rio Tinto announced.

April-25 | Technical Development Centre opened in Teesside.

Jun-25 | First lithium chemicals produced.

Jul-25 | Five letters of support for raw material supply secured from 3 x major .ASX listed miners, 1 x .ASX listed developer and 1 x operating mine in Brazil.

Jul-25 | £500,000 grant successfully awarded under Innovate UK's Drive 35 programme. Please note that this grant is dependent on Green Lithium raising £500,000 by April 2026.

Aug-25 | Independent testwork campaign completed yielding >90% leach recovery validating flowsheet selection.

Aug-25 | First commercial sale of analcime co-product completed.

Oct-25 | Letter of support received from international trading and investment company

The company has a clear pathway to commercial production and believes it is well placed to capitalise on the next upward lithium market cycle.

Use of Funds

1 | Pilot Operation: Run an alkali pressure leach pilot, using facilities at a leading third party metallurgy laboratory, to generate key engineering parameters for the Demonstration Plant engineering design.

2 | Demonstration Plant Development: Develop the process and plant design for a pre-commercial demonstrator & confirm key equipment specifications.

3 | Analcime Product Development: Progress the product development programme to develop the mineral analcime co-product for sustainable construction applications.

4 | Corporate Development: Apply for Scale-Up grant (estimated at £10m value) and secure strategic/institutional equity financing to take the project to construction ready.

5 | Project Overheads: Grow the team and retain key staff to add value to the business

Innovate UK £500,000 Grant

Please note that the Innovate UK Grant mentioned in the Video and 'Accomplishments to Date' section of the campaign, is contingent on Green Lithium raising £500,000 of funding by April 2026.

The funds raised in this campaign will count towards the £500,000 of required matched funding.

Share Class

The Company has 3 classes of shares:

- A Ordinary Shares: currently held by Founders and pre-existing Seedrs/Republic Europe Investors. These shares have full voting and dividend rights.
- B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares: held by existing investors. These shares have no voting rights but carry dividend rights.
- C Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares: held by the management team and advisors. These shares have no voting rights but carry dividend rights. The majority of C Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares are held under option, though a small number are held outright as shares. For those held outright as shares, a small portion of the shareholders have fully paid for their shares (to the sum of £5,975.53) and the rest of the shares issued were funded by the Company (to the sum of £54,121.10), to be repaid on an exit event.

On an exit or liquidation, the order of priority is set out below.

Seedrs investors will receive A Ordinary Shares. All other investors in the round will receive B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares.

Liquidation

On a liquidation, the surplus assets will be distributed as follows:

First, holders of C Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares will receive their investment amount back (i.e. the amount they paid up for their shares, if anything). For the avoidance of doubt, those holders of C Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares who have not yet paid the Company for their shares will not receive any investment amount back.

Second, there are three potential distribution outcomes, depending on the amount of surplus assets remaining:

(1) If the remaining assets are insufficient to pay back the total amount invested across all shares in issue, each of the holders of A Ordinary and B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares will either receive:
(i) their full investment amount; or
(ii) if there are insufficient funds to do so, a pro rata amount of their initial investment amount;

OR

(2) If the remaining assets are enough so that each A Ordinary and B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shareholder could receive more per share than the highest subscription price paid per ordinary share in issue, then the remaining assets will be distributed to the A Ordinary and B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shareholders pro rata to their respective shareholdings;

OR

(3) If the remaining assets are more than the total amount invested across all shares in issue, but less than the highest subscription price per share paid, then the next step depends on whether (on a shareholder by shareholder basis) your investment amount or a pro rata distribution would be higher:

a)If a distribution pro rata to your shareholding would give a higher amount, then those shareholders will first receive their pro rata amount;

b) If a distribution based on your investment amount would be higher, then the pro rata distributions will be made first in accordance with limb (3)(a) and then the remaining shareholders will share in the remaining assets pro rata to their shareholding.

Exit

On an Exit, provided the Exit is greater than £60 million, proceeds will be distributed to the holders of A Ordinary Shares, B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares and C Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares pro rata to the number of shares held.

If the Exit is less than £60m, then the proceeds will be distributed in the following order of priority:

First, in paying to each of the A Ordinary Shares, B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares and C Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares their initial investment amount back (provided they have fully paid for their shares), or if there are insufficient funds to do so, a pro rata amount of their initial investment amount.

Second, the remaining proceeds will be distributed to the A Ordinary Shares and B Ordinary (Non-Voting) Shares pro rata to the number of shares held.

This campaign for Green Lithium has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 2 April 2026 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £37,480,424

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Republic Europe.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Republic Europe campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Republic Europe will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Republic Europe will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Republic Europe will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

If available, this is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Republic Europe. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
