Issue of Equity and Novation of Lind Convertible Loan Note

Bushveld Minerals Limited (AIM: BMN), the AIM-quoted, integrated primary vanadium producer and energy storage solutions provider with ownership of high-grade assets in South Africa, announces that further to the announcement made on 2 September 2022, the Company has issued 20,876,937 shares to Lind Global Macro Fund, LP ("Lind") pursuant to Lind's election, to redeem its US$1,250,000 Convertible Loan Note ("Lind's Mustang CLN") issued by Mustang Energy Plc ("Mustang") on 26 April 2021 pursuant to the terms of the Loan Note Instrument.

Redemption of Lind's Mustang CLN

-- Lind's Mustang CLN was issued to Lind following its participation in a US$8 million capital raise by Mustang in 2021, for purposes of investing in VRFB Holdings Limited ("VRFBH") as announced on 27 April 2021.

-- As announced on 2 September 2022, the deadline for Readmission (and accordingly, for exercising the Backstop) as announced on 19 January 2022 and in an update on 29 March 2022 has been extended further to 28 October 2022 to allow Mustang to complete its Readmission process, by the holders of the Mustang CLNs other than Lind, which has elected to exercise the Backstop.

-- Bushveld will allot 20,876,937 shares to Lind, based on the 20 day Volume Weighted Average Price prior to 5 September 2022, and rounded down to the nearest share, as is equal to the face value of Lind's Mustang CLN plus accrued interest at 10% from 26 April 2021 up until 11 September 2012, applying an exchange rate of US$1.1589/GBP1.00.

-- The shares issued are to be admitted to trading on AIM within 5 business days thereafter, in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement, and Bushveld expects admission to occur on 20 September 2022.

-- Following Admission, there will be a total of 1,287,818,281 Ordinary Shares in issue, 670,000 of which are held in treasury. Shareholders should use the figure of 1,287,148,281 as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in the voting rights of the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
