SPOD Lithium Announces Second Tranche Closing

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 23, 2024) - SPOD LITHIUM CORP. (CSE: SPOD) (OTCQB: SPODF), (the "Company" or "SPOD") is pleased is pleased to announce a second tranche closing of its non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $85,000 (the "Offering").

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company issued 1,700,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share in the share capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share (each, an "Additional Share") at a price of $0.10 per Additional Share on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the closing date (the "Warrant Term"). The Warrants include an acceleration clause to the effect that if the daily volume weighted average closing price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") is at least $0.20 per Common Share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, (the "Triggering Event"), the Company may, within 5 days of the Triggering Event, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants, by way of news release, and in such case the Warrants will expire on the first day that is 10 calendar days after the date on which such notice is given by the Company announcing the Triggering Event.

A director of the Company acquired 500,000 Units for total consideration of $25,000. The participation of a director, an insider of the Company, constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has determined that the director's participation in the Private Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 in reliance on the exemptions set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Units purchased nor the consideration paid by him exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the participation by the director was not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons. The Private Placement was previously approved by the disinterested directors of the Company. No special committee was established in connection with the transaction, and no materially contrary view was expressed or made by any director.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes. The Company will be closing further tranches of the Offering. The securities issued under the Offering, and any Common Shares that may be issuable on exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The Company paid a cash commission of $5,950 to Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood Securities") and issued 119,000 finder's warrants as part of their finder's fee compensation in connection with subscriptions received from subscribers introduced to the Offering by Haywood Securities.
