Supplementary Prospectus
Supplementary Prospectus to a Prospectus dated 10 February 2020
Important Information
This is a supplementary prospectus dated 28 February 2020 and was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) pursuant to Section 719 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) on 28 February 2020 ( Supplementary Prospectus ). This Supplementary Prospectus supplements the prospectus dated 10 February 2020 ( Prospectus ) issued by Lake Resources N.L ( Company ).
The ASIC, ASX Limited ( ASX ), and their officers take no responsibility as to the contents of this Supplementary Prospectus. This Supplementary Prospectus shall be read in its entirety together with the contents of the Prospectus. If you are in any doubt as to the contents of this document, you should consult your professional advisers without delay.
Other than as set out below, all details in relation to the Prospectus remain unchanged. Terms used in this Supplementary Prospectus shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Prospectus.
1. Background
The Prospectus outlined that in conjunction with the Share Purchase Plan announced on 10 February 2020, the Company was also undertaking a Placement to raise $2,000,000 by way of issue of 50,000,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 each.
On 14 February 2020, the Company issued 36,521,850 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per share to raise $1,460,874 under the Placement to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors utilising the Company’s available Placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A.
On 24 February 2020, the Company announced that it has received further binding commitments to issue an additional 47,500,000 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share to raise an additional $1,900,000 to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors utilising the Company’s available Placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A ( Further Applications ). On 27 February 2020, the Company issued 47,875,000 Shares to raise a further $1,915,000 pursuant to the Further Applications.
As at 28 February 2020, the Company has secured further binding commitments to issue an additional 14,657,649 Shares at an issue price of $0.04 per Share to raise a further $586,305 (before costs) to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors utilising the Company’s available Placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Company anticipates that it will issue these further Shares on or about 3 March 2020.
The additional 62,532,649 Shares which were issued on 27 February 2020 and are to be issued on or about 3 March 2020 which will raise $2,501,305 (before costs) are referred to in this Supplementary Prospectus as the ‘ Additional Placement ’.
The Additional Placement is to form part of the Placement and accordingly the Placement will increase from $2,000,000 (as originally contemplated under the Prospectus) to $3,962,179 with this resulting in the issue of a total of 99,054,499 Shares.
1
As at 27 February 2020, the Company had received approximately $2,102,000 in valid Applications under the SPP Offer, which represents over subscriptions of approximately 40.1%. Accordingly, in conjunction with the Additional Placement, the Company also proposes to extend the maximum amount to be raised under the SPP Offer and the Shortfall Offer from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000 ( Extended SPP and Shortfall Offer ).
Accordingly, as a result of the Additional Placement and the Extended SPP and Shortfall Offer:
-
the number of shares which may be issued, and the amount of funds which may be raised, under the SPP Offer and Shortfall Offer will be increased from that set out in the Prospectus;
-
the number of shares on issue following the Completion of the SPP Offer and Shortfall Offer will be increased from that set out in the Prospectus;
-
the Company’s use of funds will differ from that set out in the Prospectus;
-
the Company’s Proforma Financial Statement set out in section 7 of the Prospectus is altered;
-
the Company will offer withdrawal rights for those who subscribe under the SPP Offer and/or Shortfall Offer; and
-
the Company also proposes to close the Shortfall Offer early, such that the key dates will change.

The principal effect of the Placement will be this issuance of up to 99,054,499 new Shares, assuming all Shares are issued to the Placement investors.

7.2 Effect on Balance Sheet
The SPP Shares and Shortfall Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus will be issued for $0.04 each. If all of the Shares are issued under the SPP Offer (and Shortfall Offer where applicable), this will raise up to $2,500,000. Based on the binding commitments received from Placement Investors as at the date of the Prospectus, if all of the Shares are issued under the Placement (at an issue price of $0.04 each), this will raise up to $3,962,179.

7

For completeness it is noted that no adjustment has been made to the unaudited ProForma Statement of Financial Position in respect of the $800,000 short term unsecured facilities recently finalised by the Company.
Historical and Pro-forma Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
To illustrate the effect of the issue on the Company, the pro-forma consolidated balance sheet has been prepared based on the audited Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2019.
The pro-forma balance sheet shows the effect of the SPP Offer as if the SPP Offer (under this Prospectus) had been made on 30 June 2019. The pro-forma balance sheet assumes that the SPP Offer is fully subscribed, the Shares under the Placement Shares are issued and the Shares are issued to the Convertible Securities Holder
8
under the Termination Deed and the Cash Portion paid (and accordingly the Convertible Securities Facility is closed-out).
The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the pro-forma consolidated balance sheet are consistent with the policies adopted and as described in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.
The significant effects of the SPP Offer, Placement and Termination Deed (assuming the SPP Offer is fully subscribed) will be to:
-
(b) increase cash reserves by a net amount of approximately $$4.11 million (after paying the cash component of redeeming the convertible notes of $1.95 million (with $1.45 million being funded by the Placement and the balance $0.5 million being funded from existing cash and debt reserves) and cash expenses of the Offer which are estimated to be $389,500inclusive of GST);
-
(c) increase the number of issued ordinary shares by 173,112,520 to 702,644,606.
The Company’s cash reserves will be further increased to approximately $4.91 million (assuming the SPP Offer is fully subscribed) as a result of the $800,000 short term unsecured facilities recently finalised by the Company. As noted above the unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Position has not been adjusted for these short term unsecured facilities.

7.3 Effect on capital structure
The effect of the SPP Offer, the Placement and the Termination Deed on the capital structure of the Company, assuming the SPP Offer is fully subscribed and all Shares are issued under the Placement and the Termination Deed, is set out below:
Shares
| Number | % interest in share capital |
|
|---|---|---|
| Shares currently on issue (as at the date of the Prospectus) | 529,532,086 | 75.4% |
| Shares offered pursuant to the SPP and Shortfall Offers1 | 62,500,000 | 8.9% |
| Shares to be issued under the Placement2 | 99,054,499 | 14.1% |
| Shares issued under the Termination Deed | 11,558,021 | 1.6% |
| **Total Shares on issue after completion of the above3 ** | 702,644,606 | 100% |
1 This assumes that the maximum number of SPP Shares are issued.
2 This assumes that all of the Placement Shares are issued.
3 This assumes that none of the options currently outstanding are exercised.
Options
As no Options are being issued as part of the SPP Offer, the Placement or the Termination Deed, assuming no Options currently outstanding are exercised, the Company will have the following Options on issue:
| Number | Exercise Price |
% interest in Options |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Listed Options currently on issue (expiring 15 June 2021) |
52,512,693 | $0.10 | 52.1% |
| Unlisted Options (expiring 31 December 2020) | 9,500,000 | $0.28 | 9.4% |
| Unlisted Options (expiring 28 February 2022) | 5,555,000 | $0.08 | 5.5% |
| Unlisted Options (expiring 30 July 2021) | 15,000,000 | $0.09 | 14.9% |
| Unlisted Options (expiring 28 October 2022) | 18,300,000 | $0.046 | 18.1% |
| Total Options on issue after completion of the above1 |
100,867,693 | 100% |
1 This assumes that none of the options currently outstanding are exercised.
The capital structure on a fully diluted basis on completion of the SPP Offers assuming the SPP Shares are fully subscribed for and all Shares are issued under the Placement and the Termination Deed would be 803,512,299 Shares.
Convertible Securities
As at the date of the Prospectus, the Company had 2,220,500 Convertible Securities on issue, reflecting the face value of the Convertible Securities. As set out in section 4.3, the Company entered into a Termination Deed with the Convertible Securities Holder for the termination of the Convertible Securities Facility. The Termination Deed required the Company to, amongst other matters:
10
-
(d) make a cash payment of $1,959,615 to the Convertible Securities Holder (of which $1,709,615 was paid by the Company on 20 February 2020 with the remaining $250,000 paid on 24 February 2020) ( Cash Portion ); and
-
(e) issue Convertible Securities Holder 11,558,021 Shares (which constitutes both a reduction of the principal amount owing and an equity based early termination fee) on or before 11 February 2020 ( Share Portion ) which issue has now occurred.
Assuming the Company satisfies the terms of the Termination Deed and accordingly the Convertible Securities Facility is terminated, there will be no Convertible Securities on issue by the Company on and from the date that all conditions are satisfied under the terms of the Termination Deed.
As the Company has now complied with its obligations under the Termination Deed, including both the payment and issue of the Cash Portion and the Share Portion by the required dates, the Convertible Securities Facility is deemed to be fully repaid and the Convertible Securities Agreement is terminated and of no further force and effect.
