(the "Corporation" or "Bearing") is pleased to announce that the Supreme Court of British Columbia has granted a final order approving the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with Lithium Power International Limited ("LPI")(ASX:LPI) and LPI Canada Holdings Ltd. The Arrangement was approved by the Bearing shareholders, optionholders and warrantholders on October 28, 2022.

Bearing expects that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions to the completion of the Arrangement, including the closing of the MSB SpA transaction (the "Joint Venture Partner Transaction") (as described in the press release dated October 31, 2022), the Arrangement will be completed later this month.

Bearing will issue a subsequent news release closer to the estimated Closing Date regarding the anticipated timing for the halt of the trading of the Bearing Shares on the TSXV and subsequent de-listing of the Bearing Shares from the TSXV.
