The floating exchange ratio creates a direct link between CRML's stock price and the dilution from the acquisition. If CRML trades above $8.00, dilution decreases; if it falls below, dilution increases. Monitor CRML's VWAP relative to the $8.00 floor and $16.00 ceiling as the shareholder vote approaches in October 2026.

Executive Summary
Critical Metals Corp. (CRML) amended its acquisition agreement for European Lithium Ltd., replacing the fixed exchange ratio of 0.035 with a floating ratio (0.025 to 0.045) tied to CRML's 20-day VWAP, with a floor of $8.00 and ceiling of $16.00. This amendment reduces dilution for CRML shareholders if its stock price rises above $8.00, but increases dilution if the stock falls. The deal's other material terms and conditions precedent remain unchanged, with an indicative timetable targeting completion by October 2026.
Key Facts
- The previously fixed exchange ratio of 0.035 CRML shares per EUR share was replaced with a floating ratio of 0.025 to 0.045, determined by CRML's 20-day VWAP.
- The floating ratio has a floor price of US$8.00 and a ceiling price of US$16.00.
- The amendment was entered into on August 19, 2026, and filed on August 21, 2026.
- All other material terms of the Transaction, including conditions precedent, remain unchanged.
- The indicative timetable targets a First Court Date in September 2026 and completion in October 2026.
Financial Impact
The exchange ratio adjustment is a structural change to deal consideration, not a direct financial impact. The ratio will float between 0.025 and 0.045, replacing the fixed 0.035 ratio.
Risk Factors
- The floating ratio increases dilution risk for CRML shareholders if the stock price declines below the $8.00 floor.
- The transaction remains subject to multiple conditions precedent, including shareholder and court approvals, and a minimum cash condition of $330 million.
