ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

FIRST CONVERSION OF $0.2499 PARTLY PAID SHARES, LITCC CONVERSIONS CONTINUE AND VARIOUSLY PRICED OPTIONS EXERCISED

Lithium Australia NL (LIT) advises that it has issued 325,000 shares as a result of one director exercising some of his 20 cent option series, to raise a further $65,000. The relevant Appendix 3Y is attached. LIT has also received funds for the conversion of the 10 cent options and the 15 cent options.

LIT advises that it has received its first conversion of the unlisted partly paid $0.25 shares and is expecting more conversions of this unlisted class.

LIT continues to receive conversion notices for its LITCC series. Holders of the Company’s 5-cent contributing shares (now paid up to 2.1 cents (LITCC)) continue to contact the Company regarding conversion to fully paid LIT shares. Please note that there remains 0.82m LITCC’s.

LIT reminds shareholders, option holders and all partly paid shareholders that the Record Date for the Bonus Issue is currently 27 April 2016 and the shares trade “Ex Date” from commencement of trade on 26 April 2016. All LITCC holders (now only 20) who do not convert by the Record Date will participate in the entitlement with a gross decimal ratio of 0.40 (and equates to one new Bonus Issue Share for each five LITCC’s held) or an updated total of 163,360 Bonus Issue Shares.
