Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a \u2018Common Share\u2018) and one-half (\u00bd) of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a \u2018Warrant\u2018). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.55<\/span> per Common Share for a period beginning 61 days following the Closing Date (as defined below) and expiring 3 years following the Closing Date.<\/p>\n

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used to advance the UAE Battery Anode Facility, update the Molo technical report and for general corporate purposes as disclosed in the offering document.<\/p>\n

Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 \u2013\u00a0Prospectus Exemptions\u00a0(\u2018NI 45-106\u2018), the Units will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in each of the provinces of Canada,\u00a0except Qu\u00e9bec, and\/or other jurisdictions outside of Canada<\/span> pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 \u2013 Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption\u00a0(the \u2018Listed Issuer Financing Exemption\u2018). As the Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Units issued pursuant to the Offering will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company\u2019s issuer profile on SEDAR+ at\u00a0www.sedarplus.ca\u00a0and on the Company\u2019s website at www.nextsourcematerials.com. Prospective investors should read the offering document before making an investment decision.<\/p>\n

The Company is party to an investment agreement with Vision Blue Resources Limited (\u2018Vision Blue\u2018) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted Vision Blue a contractual right to participate in equity financings on the same terms as such financings to maintain its ownership percentage in the Company. The Company will provide the necessary notice to Vision Blue in accordance with the terms of the investment agreement.\u00a0 Although no assurance can be provided, the Company anticipates that Vision Blue will participate in the Offering to maintain their pro-rata equity interest in the Company.<\/p>\n

The Company has also entered into an amended and restated loan facility with Vision Blue (the \u2018Amended Facility\u2018) which increased the maximum capacity under the existing facility from US$30,000,000<\/span> to US$50,000,000<\/span>. Drawdowns remain at the discretion of Vision Blue and there is no assurance that additional advances will be available to the Company under the Amended Facility.\u00a0 However, the Company expects that, at closing of the Offering, the Company and Vision Blue will enter into a consent agreement under which Vision Blue will commit to advancing US$5,000,000<\/span> under the Amended Facility subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and will extend the maturity date under the Amended Facility to the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 24, 2026<\/span> (the \u2018Closing Date\u2018) and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

The securities referred to in this news release have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the \u2018U.S. Securities Act\u2018), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States<\/span> or to, or for the account or benefit of, \u2018U.S. Persons\u2019 (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent such registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. This news release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities for sale, nor a solicitation for offers to buy any securities. <\/p>\n

Related Party Transaction <\/p>\n

Vision Blue holds 47.5% of the Company\u2019s issued and outstanding shares (47.5% on a partially diluted basis). Accordingly, the Amended Facility constitutes a \u2018related party transaction\u2019 as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 \u2013 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (\u2018MI 61-101\u2018).<\/p>\n

The Company is not required to obtain a formal valuation in respect of the Amended Facility.\u00a0 The Company is exempt from the need to obtain minority shareholder approval per subsection 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101, as the Amended Facility is on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Amended Facility were obtained from a person dealing at arm\u2019s length with the Company and the Amended Facility is not convertible, directly or indirectly into equity of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The Board of Directors of NextSource, with the exception of Sir Mick Davis<\/span> (being a Director of Vision Blue) who declared his interest and recused himself, unanimously approved the Amended Facility.<\/p>\n
