Zinnwald Lithium plc ("Zinnwald Lithium" or the "Company")
Retail Offer via PrimaryBid.com
Zinnwald Lithium plc, the German focused lithium development
company, is pleased to announce a retail offer for subscription via
PrimaryBid of new ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each in the Company
(the "Retail Shares") at a price of 15.5 pence per share (the
"Retail Offer").
As separately announced today, the Company is also conducting a
non-pre-emptive Placing of new ordinary shares ("the Placing
Shares") in the capital of the Company (the "Placing") by way of an
accelerated book-building process at a price of 15.5 pence per
Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). As part of the Placing, Henry
Maxey, a 11.7% shareholder in the Company has agreed to subscribe
for up to 25,806,451 Placing Shares at the Placing Price,
representing a maximum commitment of GBP4.0 million. Investor
demand from the Placing is expected to reduce Mr Maxey's
subscription, subject to him receiving a minimum subscription of
GBP1.0 million.
The Company will use the net proceeds of the Retail Offer
alongside those of the Placing to advance its wholly owned Zinnwald
Lithium Project in Germany towards a value optimised bankable
feasibility study for lithium hydroxide and explore the potential
to expand the size and scope of the Project.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc for
the admission of the Retail Shares and the Placing Shares to
trading on AIM.
Settlement for the Retail Shares and Admission is expected to
take place on or around 8.00 a.m. on 20 December 2021. The Retail
Offer will not be completed without the Placing also being
completed. The Retail Offer is conditional, among other things, on
Admission becoming effective and the Placing Agreement entered into
by the Company not being terminated in accordance with its terms
prior to Admission.
The Retail Offer
Whilst the Placing has been structured as a non-pre-emptive
offer, the Company values its retail investor base and recognises
the importance of pre-emption rights in the UK listed company
environment and is therefore pleased to provide retail investors
the opportunity to participate in the Company's equity fundraising
alongside the Placing. The Company will prioritise existing
shareholders in the Company when finalising the Retail Offer to the
extent it is able.
Members of the public may participate in the Retail Offer by
applying exclusively through the PrimaryBid mobile app available on
the Apple App Store and Google Play. PrimaryBid does not charge
investors any commission for this service.
The Retail Offer, via the PrimaryBid app, will be open to retail
investors with immediate effect following release of this
Announcement. The Retail Offer will close at 8pm on 13 December
2021. The Retail Offer may close early if it is oversubscribed.
Subscriptions under the PrimaryBid Offer will be considered by
the Company at the Company's discretion, subject to conditions
(which are available to view on PrimaryBid.com).
The Company reserves the right to scale back any order at its
discretion. The Company and PrimaryBid reserve the right to reject
any application for subscription under the Retail Offer without
giving any reason for such rejection.
No commission will be charged to investors on applications to
participate in the Retail Offer made through PrimaryBid. It is
important to note that once an application for the Retail Shares
has been made and accepted via PrimaryBid, that application is
irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn.
For further information on PrimaryBid or the procedure for
applications under the Retail Offer, visit www.PrimaryBid.com or
email PrimaryBid on enquiries@primarybid.com.
The Retail Shares, if issued, will be free of all liens, charges
and encumbrances and will, if issued, be fully paid and will rank
pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary
shares, including, without limitation, the right to receive
dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the
date of issue.

Notes
Zinnwald Lithium plc (EPIC: ZNWD.L) is an AIM quoted, German
focused lithium development company focussed on becoming an
important supplier to Europe's fast-growing battery sector. The
Company owns the Zinnwald Lithium Project in Germany, a late-stage
development project with attractive economics and approved mining
licence. A Feasibility Study, published in June 2019, highlighted a
EUR428m pre-tax NPV, a pre-tax IRR of 27.4% and a 46% EBITDA margin
for Zinnwald. The project is located in the heart of Europe's
chemical and automotive industries and has the potential to be one
of Europe's most advanced battery grade lithium projects.
Details of the Retail Offer

supported the Company alongside institutional investors over
several years. Given the longstanding support of retail

jurisdiction where it would be unlawful to do so. In particular,
the Retail Offer is being made only to persons who are, and at the
time the Retail Shares are subscribed for, will be outside the
United States and subscribing for the Placing Shares in an
"offshore transaction" as defined in, and in accordance with,
Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Persons who are resident
or otherwise located in the United States will not be eligible to
register for participation in the offer through PrimaryBid or
subscribe for Retail Shares .
There is a minimum subscription of GBP250 per investor under the
terms of the Retail Offer which is open to existing shareholders
and other investors subscribing via PrimaryBid.
