Graphite One Seeks to Boost Market Activity with Warrant Listing

Graphite One applies to list 20M warrants to boost liquidity, following a CAD $35M raise to fund its U.S. graphite supply chain projects in Alaska and Ohio.

Graphite One Inc. is taking concrete steps to enhance liquidity and investor flexibility as it advances its strategy to build an independent U.S. graphite supply chain. The company's latest move involves applying to list millions of new warrants for trading, following a recent successful capital raise.

Funding the Vision for U.S. Graphite Production

The strategic initiatives are fueled by capital raised to execute an ambitious growth plan. Graphite One secured gross proceeds of approximately CAD $35 million from a public offering that closed in mid-February. These funds are earmarked for specific development purposes within the company's vertically integrated supply chain for graphite anode material.

The capital injection is allocated to advance planning, permitting, and equipment procurement for a proposed manufacturing facility in Ohio. It will also support further development of the Graphite Creek project in Alaska, recognized as the largest known graphite resource in the United States.

The Mechanics of the Proposed Listing

In a filing pending final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, Graphite One has applied to list a total of 20,002,000 warrants. These financial instruments originated from the recent public offering. Subject to regulatory clearance, trading is expected to commence on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

Each warrant carries a term of 36 months from the offering's closing date. Holders possess the right to acquire one common share of Graphite One at an exercise price of CAD $2.25. This mechanism provides a longer-term avenue for investor participation while the company aims to stimulate trading activity around its equity.

Market Context and Forward Look

The current share price, trading around €0.82, sits below the new warrants' exercise price. This disparity highlights the speculative, long-term nature of an investment thesis centered on the domestic U.S. graphite market.

The anticipated commencement of warrant trading on March 3 is designed to provide immediate additional flexibility for the company's investor base. However, the critical factor for future share performance will be management's effectiveness in deploying the newly raised capital. Success hinges on transitioning the planned production facilities in Ohio and Alaska from the drawing board into operational reality.
