CleanTech Lithium PLC

("CleanTech Lithium" or the "Company")

WRAP Retail Offer for approximately £250,000

CleanTech Lithium (AIM: CTL, Frankfurt:T2N), an exploration and development company advancing sustainable lithium projects in Chile is pleased to announce a retail offer via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise approximately £250,000 (the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of £0.02 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").  Under the WRAP Retail Offer new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 6 pence per share (the "Issue Price").

As part of the WRAP Retail Offer, the WRAP Retail Offer Shares carry a warrant entitlement of one warrant ("Warrant") for every two WRAP Retail Offer Shares subscribed for. Each Warrant grants the holder the right to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share at a price of 9 pence, being at a 50 per cent premium to the Issue Price, at any time from one year after the date of Admission until up to and including the date which is three years from the date of Admission.

In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced earlier today, the Company will also be conducting a placing of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares" and together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") at the Issue Price to raise approximately £4.5 million (before expenses) through a bookbuild process (the "Placing"). The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 26 per cent. to the mid-market closing price of 8.15 pence per  Ordinary Share on 3 June 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement).

The proceeds of the Placing and the WRAP Retail Offer will be used to fund licence acquisition costs at Laguna Verde, commence crucial environmental impact assessment works, which are now critical path, support ongoing refinement of the Direct Lithium Extraction processes, engineering configurations and trade-off analysis for CAPEX and OPEX optimisations, ASX dual-listing costs, as well as for working capital needs whilst a strategic partner is selected.

For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the Placing. Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the Placing but completion of the Placing is not conditional on the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.

The issue of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares and the granting of the Warrants are conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of certain resolutions to be put to shareholders of the Company at a General Meeting, which is expected to be held on 1 July 2026. A circular containing further details of the proposals and containing the Notice of General Meeting is expected to be despatched to Shareholders by 8 June 2026. Following its publication, the Circular will be available on the Company's website at https://ctlithium.com/investors/circulars-documents/.

The granting of the Warrants is further conditional upon the Company obtaining consent from the Jersey Financial Services Commission pursuant to the Control of Borrowing (Jersey) Order 1958 ("JFSC Consent"). If JFSC Consent is not obtained, the Warrants will not be granted.

The WRAP Retail Offer is conditional on the WRAP Retail Offer Shares being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8 a.m. on 2 July 2026.

WRAP Retail Offer

The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is appropriate to provide both new retail investors and existing retail shareholders in the United Kingdom the opportunity to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.

A number of retail platforms are able to access the WRAP Retail Offer. Non-holders or existing shareholders wishing to subscribe for WRAP Retail Offer Shares should contact their broker or wealth manager who will confirm if they are participating in the WRAP Retail Offer.

Eligible shareholders should note that financial intermediaries may have earlier closing times.

Any changes to the expected timetable above will be notified by the Company through a Regulatory Information Service. References to times are to London times unless otherwise stated.

The Company reserves the right to amend the size and timings of the WRAP Retail Offer at its discretion but in any event the WRAP Retail Offer will not exceed £1 million. The Company reserves the right to scale back any order and to reject any application for subscription under the WRAP Retail Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.

It is vital to note that once an application for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.

The WRAP Retail Offer Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after their date of issue.

The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom pursuant to an exemption contained in Schedule 1 (Part 1) of The Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024. As such, there is no need for publication of any form of prospectus, or for approval of the same by the Financial Conduct Authority. The WRAP Retail Offer is not being made into any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom.

No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (or any other authority) in relation to the WRAP Retail Offer, and investors' commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in this announcement and information that has been published by or on behalf of the Company prior to the date of this announcement by notification to a Regulatory Information Service.

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or legal advice.

It should be noted that a subscription for WRAP Retail Offer Shares and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the WRAP Retail Offer Shares if they are in any doubt. It is vital to note that once an application for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.

An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so investors could get back less than the amount invested.

Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable indicator of future results.

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Retail Offer Shares and Warrants have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Retail Offer Shares and Warrants are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6 of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution channels (the "Target Market Assessment").
