On October 3, 2023, Old Lithium Americas and Lithium Americas (NewCo) announced the completion of the reorganization of Old Lithium Americas into two independent publicly traded companies, implemented by way of statutory plan of arrangement (the “Separation”).

As a result of the Separation, Lithium Argentina retains a 44.8% interest in the Caucharí-Olaroz project located in Jujuy, Argentina and Old Lithium Americas’ Argentine assets. Its focus is on advancing its Caucharí-Olaroz project toward full production capacity and exploring regional growth opportunities in the Pastos Grandes basin with its Pastos Grandes and Sal de la Puna projects (100% and 65% owned, respectively).

Lithium Americas (NewCo) acquired the Thacker Pass project located in Nevada and is focused on advancing construction at Thacker Pass.

The common shares of Lithium Argentina Shares and the common shares of Lithium Americas (NewCo) are now traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols “LAAC” and “LAC,” respectively.

Upon completion of the Separation, General Motors Holdings LLC (“GM”) executed a second tranche subscription agreement (pursuant to which GM will, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, purchase US$329,852,134.38 in Lithium Americas (NewCo) Shares).
