SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

IGO Limited (ASX: IGO) ( IGO or the Company ) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the retail component ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) of its 1 for 8.5 accelerated pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer of new fully paid ordinary IGO shares ( New Shares ).

The Retail Entitlement Offer closed on Friday, 15 January 2021 and successfully raised A$57 million at an offer price of A$4.60 per share ( Offer Price ). Together with the institutional component of the entitlement offer and placement to institutional investors which settled in December, the total amount raised under the Offer is A$766 million.

The Retail Entitlement Offer was strongly supported with a take-up rate of entitlements of approximately 93% by eligible shareholders. Eligible retail shareholders subscribed for 11.4 million New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer (including oversubscriptions). The remaining 0.9 million New Shares not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer have been allocated to sub-underwriters.

The New Shares issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing shares on issue. The New Shares are expected to be issued on Friday, 22 January 2021 and are expected to commence trading on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) on Monday, 25 January 2021.

The acquisition of our indirect stakes in the Greenbushes Lithium Mining and Processing Operation and Kwinana Lithium Hydroxide Plant is transformational and will establish IGO as a leading ASX listed-company with unique exposure to clean energy metals. We are continuing to work towards completion of the acquisition which is expected in the June 2021 quarter.”
