Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain
statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe
harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such “forward-looking statements”
with respect to the proposed transaction between a target and WTMA include statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the
anticipated timing of the transaction and the products and markets of a target. These forward-looking statements generally are identified
by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,”
“will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar
expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current
expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk
that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of WTMA’s securities,
(ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by WTMA’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain
an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by WTMA, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation
of the transaction, including the adoption of a Merger Agreement by the shareholders of WTMA, the satisfaction of the minimum amount
in the trust account, if any, following redemptions by WTMA’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory
approvals, (iv) the potential lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the
inability to complete a PIPE investment for the targeted amount or at all, (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance
that could give rise to the termination of a Merger Agreement, (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on
a target’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (viii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts
current plans and operations of a target and potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the transaction, (ix) the outcome
of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against a target or against WTMA related to a Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction,
(x) the ability to maintain the listing of WTMA’s securities on a national securities exchange, (xi) the price of WTMA’s
securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which WTMA plans
to operate or a target operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting WTMA’s
or a target’s business, a target’s inability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections and
changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
and (xiii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction,
and identify and realize additional opportunities. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the
foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in a registration statement on Form S-4 following identification of
a target and execution of a Merger Agreement, the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed or that may be filed by WTMA from
time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events
and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and a target and WTMA assume no
obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events,
or otherwise. Neither a target nor WTMA gives any assurance that either a target or WTMA, or MergeCo, will achieve its expectations.

Announce
$500 Million PIPE Anchor Equity Investment and $6.2 Billion Debt Facility Term Sheet
from
Broughton Capital Group
Chicago, IL, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: WTMA) (“WTMA”) and Evolution
Metals LLC (“EM”) today announced that, inter alios, WTMA and EM have entered into a Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”)
with certain legally binding clauses with Broughton Capital Group (“BCG”) for BCG, through a special purpose investment vehicle,
to provide an equity investment (“Anchor Equity Investor”) of US$500 million through a private investment in public equity
(“PIPE Anchor Equity Investment”) to be consummated concurrently with EM’s and WTMA’s business combination closing
(“Closing”) at a pre-money enterprise valuation for Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T”), the
surviving entity of the business combination, of US$6.2 billion. Additionally, BCG, through a special purpose lending vehicle (“Lender”)
agrees to provide to EM&T a debt facility (“Debt Facility”) of up to US$6.2 billion to be consummated concurrently with
the Closing. The closing of the PIPE Anchor Equity Investment and Debt Facility is subject to the completion of BCG’s on-going
due diligence, execution of an equity subscription agreement, execution of a debt facility agreement, the Closing, and other closing
conditions.
Nick
Lisle, Founder and CEO of Broughton Capital Group, stated, “Broughton Capital Group has a mandate to invest, including significant
capital to advance private sector solutions for a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future across the globe. EM&T is bringing
to the world robust, alternative critical materials supply chain solutions through operating businesses that we are eager to support
with significant capital as the lead anchor investor. BCG has demonstrated our conditional commitment by entering into a Term Sheet with,
inter alios, Evolution Metals and WTMA to deliver significant capital and anchor the fundraising for EM&T. We are continuing
our due diligence on the transaction to support EM&T’s rapid and prudent expansion of their capacities in the critical materials
supply chain. EM&T has a world-class executive management team led by David Wilcox. Our capital will be used by EM&T to increase
their recycling and refining businesses and magnet-making businesses while leveraging automation to enhance their integrated supply chain.
As we advance towards the deSPAC closing, we intend to move the equity PIPE capital into escrow ahead of the deSPAC closing, upon the
execution of definitive documentation. Our signing of the Term Sheet underscores our confidence in the strategic vision of EM&T,
and our dedication to fostering innovation and sustainability in the critical materials sector. We believe that our combined efforts
will not only enhance the resilience of the critical materials supply chain but also contribute to the broader goal of reducing environmental
impact and promoting a sustainable future for generations to come.”
David
Wilcox, Managing Member of Evolution Metals LLC, commented, “I am pleased to announce that, inter alios, EM and WTMA have signed
a Term Sheet with certain legally binding clauses with Broughton Capital Group for BCG to provide an anchor equity investment of US$500
million, which is 25% of our targeted PIPE raise. The Term Sheet also includes a US$6.2 billion credit facility. We are tremendously
excited to be working with Broughton Capital Group, who has deep mineral markets expertise and aligns directly with our strategic vision.
BCG’s commitment to advancing our critical materials supply chain is unparalleled, and their support will be instrumental in propelling
our initiatives forward. Together, we are bringing to the world a robust and sustainable fully integrated operational supply chain that
addresses the increasing demand for these essential, fundamental and critical materials, without reliance on high-risk suppliers in geopolitically
sensitive countries. We will be using the capital from BCG to expand across the United States our existing capacities of our one-of-a-kind
US Department of Defense certified e-scrap recycling business; to increase our existing capacities in the Republic of Korea to produce
bonded and sintered magnets without a critical dependency on Chinese feedstock; to expand our capacities in the US and South Korea to
produce critical materials including Neodymium, Praseodymium, Dysprosium, Terbium, Cobalt, Lithium, Manganese, Nickel, Copper, Gold and
Silver; and to automate all aspects of our supply chain to reduce production costs and improve quality control. This strategic partnership
is poised to fortify our position and drive significant growth, ensuring we meet our ambitious objectives effectively and prudently.”
Frank
Moon, CEO of EM&T, remarked, “We are witnessing rapid technologies development as we accelerate through the brave
new world of hyperconnectivity and superintelligence, impacting all aspects of our everyday lives. Economic success and national security
will be driven by the transformations of the fourth industrial revolution. With rising global geopolitical tensions, governments and
markets are increasingly focused on the risks and weaknesses of current supply chains, especially in critical materials for EVs, electrification,
renewable energy storage and defense applications. For the last decade, these risks resulted in reduced development of critical mineral
mine projects by non-Chinese developers. Today, more than one hundred critical mineral mine projects globally, outside of China, wait
to be developed. And we have yet to see any critical material supply chains independent from China. The Western World possesses no geopolitically
secure, commercial-scale critical materials mid-to-downstream supply chains to process the raw mined ore feedstock from critical mineral
mines around the globe. Why, after many decades, is the world still highly dependent on Chinese supply chains in critical materials?
China currently supplies more than 90% of the global production of permanent magnets, which are critical components of EVs, sensory devices,
electrification, renewable energy storage and defense applications. However, China imports 60% of the raw mined ore feedstock it needs
to produce these permanent magnets. China dominates permanent magnet production by dominating the mid-to-downstream supply chain capacity.
China dominates the global capacity to process ore feedstock into oxides, oxides into metal, metal into alloys, and alloys into permanent
magnets; and China’s massive commercial scale allows it to economically recycle spent magnets back into usable magnets. The Western
World possesses no commercial scale critical materials mid-to-downstream supply chain that can process the raw mined ore feedstock from
critical mineral mines around the globe, which must sell its ore to China. This Chinese dominance can only be addressed by the Western
World having a fully integrated mid-to-downstream supply chain which receives raw mined ore feedstock, then processes the ore into oxides,
oxides into metal, metal into alloys, and alloys into permanent magnets. EM is delivering to the world a fully operational, fully integrated
mid-to downstream critical materials supply chain that is independent of China. EM is actively partnering with existing and developing
mineral resource mines around the globe for productive, stable long-term supply relationships. Our critical material supply chain operating
companies are in the US and the Republic of Korea, enabling us to expand rapidly and prudently. We also recycle critical materials through
our two US based recycling companies. To expand our capacities as rapidly and prudently as possible, EM is focusing on the following
investments:
| ● | Replicate
across the US our existing capacity in our one-of-a-kind US Department of Defense (“DoD”)
certified e-scrap recycling plant; |
| ● | Build
refineries across the US to receive feedstock from our US DoD recycling plants to turn recycled
mixed precious metals fines into gold, silver, and palladium through hydrometallurgy and
electrowinning; |
| ● | Expand
our existing capacities in the US and Republic of Korea in our fully integrated supply chain
to produce bonded permanent magnets and sintered permanent magnets; |
| ● | Secure
increasing volumes of raw mined ore feedstock from existing and developing mines and supplier
networks around the globe; |
| ● | Build
midstream oxide conversion facilities to receive ore concentrates across the globe and process
into metal convertible oxides; |
| ● | Establish
hydrometallurgical operations in the US to process our existing recycled EV battery black
mass and spent magnets into new secondary battery products and new magnet production, respectively; |
| ● | Implement
our internal smart factory automation expertise across all aspects of our critical materials
supply chain to reduce costs and improve efficiency, productivity and quality control of
our operations; |
| ● | Identify
proven technologies with proven commercial production to jump start rapid growth of these
technologies by injecting growth capital, and integrating into our supply chain.” |
“Despite
challenging market conditions, our teams have fulfilled the mission, demonstrating their focus and dedication to the task," said
Daniel Mamadou, CEO of Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. "We very much look forward to fulfilling our mandate mission
in the critical materials space by merging with Evolution Metals LLC who has assembled a world-class team under the leadership of David
Wilcox. We could not be more thrilled to partner with Broughton Capital Group, whose support is instrumental in completing the business
combination and growing EM&T.”
Christopher
Clower, COO of Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp, commented, “The Evolution Metals team, the Broughton Capital Group
team and the Welsbach Technology Metals team all continue to work tirelessly together with legal counsels, auditors, accounting service
providers, and our financial advisor to ensure we are fulfilling all US SEC requirements to successfully bring Evolution Metals &
Technologies Corp., supported by Broughton Capital Group, to the Nasdaq as an emerging leader in the global critical materials industry
for a greener, cleaner and more sustainable future.”
