Graphite: The Forgotten Critical Mineral

Current State

  • The North American market for active materials is forecasted to grow by a factor 10 from 2023 to 2030. By weight, graphite is the primary active material of all critical materials[1] .

  • China has over 95% market share for battery grade graphite[2]

  • Graphite represents >90% of the supply of active anode material of lithium-ion batteries[2]

  • December 2023: China enforces new export control measures for battery graphite

  • June 2024: US reinstates 25% Section 301 import tariffs on battery-grade graphite materials from China

  • US reliance on Chinese graphite and battery materials presents challenges for IRA compliance

  • Benchmark Mineral Intelligence GigaFactory Report October 2024; PWC Gigafactories & Raw Materials, August 2022

  • Benchmark Minerals Intelligence Anode Price Assessment September 2024

Solution

  • If China were to cease exporting of synthetic graphite it would have a significant impact on global production of lithium-ion batteries

  • NOVONIX founded its Anode Materials Division in 2017 recognizing this impending problem, and is the only company currently positioned to start production of battery-grade synthetic graphite in the US in 2025

Risk Factors

This section discusses some of the key risks associated with any investment in NOVONIX, together with the risks relating to participation in the Offer, which may affect the value of NOVONIX shares. The risks set out below are not listed in order of importance and do not constitute an exhaustive list of all risks involved with an investment in NOVONIX. Before investing in NOVONIX, you should be aware that an investment in NOVONIX has a number of risks, some of which are specific to NOVONIX and some of which relate to listed securities generally, and many of which are beyond the control of NOVONIX. Before investing in NOVONIX shares, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you. Potential investors should review publicly available information on NOVONIX (such as that available on the website of NOVONIX and ASX, including previous NOVONIX ASX announcements and periodic disclosures, including the recent annual report and 20-F filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission), carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.

commitment agreement between the Company and Phillips 66 is terminated or if the Company's shareholders do not approve the Conditional Placement). If the Placement does not complete, the Company may need to seek alternative sources of finance which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s share price and there is no guarantee that additional funding will be available (whether debt, equity or otherwise) or if available, that it will be on acceptable terms. Also, certain transaction costs in relation to the Placement, such as legal and advisory fees, may still be payable by the Company.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its programs. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities. Unfavourable market conditions may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise additional funding regardless of the Company's operating performance.

2. Operational risks associated with scaling from small scale to large scale

1. Capital requirements

The Company's capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending on the Company's ability to generate income from its operations, the Company may seek to raise further funds through equity or debt financing or other means. There can be no assurance that additional finance will be available when needed or, if available, the terms of the financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to shareholders.

The grant obtained from the Department of Energy and any future grants, loans or incentives the Company may obtain from government agencies, will impose restrictions and compliance obligations on the Company, with associated costs and risks.

The Company faces significant challenges in its attempt to develop its anode and cathode materials to produce them at volumes with acceptable performance, yields, and costs. The pace of development in materials science is often not predictable. There is a risk that the cost and time estimates for the development may not be met, or that there may be delays and unforeseen costs. The Company may encounter substantial delays or operational problems in the scale-up of its anode materials production or the commercialisation of its cathode materials technology. The systems, equipment, and processes the Company uses in the production of its anode materials are complex, and the Company is subject to many operational risks, any of which could substantially increase the Company’s costs and limit the operational performance of its anode materials operations, which would adversely affect the Company’s business.

3. Development and commercialisation

Loan agreements and other financing rearrangements such as debt facilities and convertible note issues that may be entered into by the Company may contain covenants, undertakings and other provisions which, if breached, may entitle lenders to accelerate repayment of loans and there is no assurance that the Company would be able to repay such loans in the event of an acceleration. Enforcement of any security granted by the Company could also result in the loss of assets.

The Company may not raise sufficient funds from this capital raising and there is no guarantee that the Placement will complete (for example, if the Underwriting Agreement is terminated, or if the pre-

The Company’s ability to generate revenues from its multiple anode products and technology, including the recently announced High Efficiency Continuous Graphitization Furnace Technology for Lithium-Ion Battery Synthetic Graphite Material, in the future will be subject to a number of factors, including but not limited to the technologies performing to a level sufficient to warrant commercialisation. The development, testing and manufacture of novel technologies is a high-risk industry and whilst the Company has confidence in the development and results to date there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully commercialise the products (including in a profitable sense).

Risk Factors (cont.)

Additionally, the Company's business depends on technology and is subject to technological change. If the Company fails to capitalise upon technological change or anticipate and respond to the demand and industry standards for new or existing products and technologies on a timely and cost-effective basis, or fails to adapt to technological advancements and changing standards, it may be unable to compete effectively.

The adoption of new technologies or industry practices may require the Company to devote additional resources to improve and adapt its products, and there can be no assurance these investments will be successful. If there is insufficient demand for a new product or customers do not subscribe to new products in a timely manner, new initiatives may be unsuccessful or result in significant losses. Any failure or delay in developing new technology or an inability to exploit technology as successfully or cost-effectively as competitors, could result in a decrease in customer demand, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and cash flows, prospects for growth, financial condition and results of its operations.

4. Supplier risks associated with materials supply contracts including requirements to meet supply specifications and other customer requirements

materials needed for its business may harm its customer relationships or require the Company to find alternative supply sources at increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

5. Typical competition risks associated with the battery materials market

The battery materials market consists of a large number of small suppliers (such as the Company) and a small number of large dominating buyers. The Company faces the risk that one or more of its competitors, or a new entrant to the market, will increase its competitive position through aggressive marketing campaigns, product innovation, price discounting, acquisitions or through advances in technology. While the Company strives to remain competitive by way of continuing to develop its products, technologies and associated intellectual property licenses and maintaining competitive pricing, if the Company is unable to adapt to changing market pressures or customer demands, and keep pace with technological change relative to its competitors, or is forced to reduce pricing in response to competition, its revenues and profit margins could be affected, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and cash flows, financial condition and results of its operations.

6. Overall market risk including supply and demand

The Company’s anode materials business is dependent on its continued ability to source certain specialized systems, equipment, components and raw materials from a limited number of suppliers. The Company’s ability to scale up its commercial production of synthetic graphite anode materials and meet its production targets depends on the successful and timely delivery, commissioning, operation and availability of, for example, the Generation 3 Furnace systems developed in collaboration with and supplied by Harper. If the successful commissioning is delayed or the systems otherwise fail to perform as expected, the Company may be delayed or prevented from meeting its production targets or its obligations to customers under the off-take agreements, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects.

The Company’s operations may be affected by global graphite prices, graphite supply and demand, and economic and geopolitical events that may affect international trade and demand. There is a risk that prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions, may impact the demand for the Company's products and negatively impact the Company's financial performance, financial position, cash flows, dividends and growth prospects, and the price of Shares. Our business and future growth also depend substantially on the growth in demand for electric vehicles and batteries for grid energy storage.

Any global political, economic, and financial crisis (as well as the indirect effects flowing therefrom) could negatively affect the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The Company purchases certain of its systems, equipment, components and raw materials from limited sources of supply, and disruption of these sources could negatively affect the Company’s ability to produce materials. The Company’s inability or delay in obtaining the systems, equipment components or raw

Risk Factors (cont.)

7. Tax law and application

The application of and change in relevant tax laws (including income tax, goods and services tax (or equivalent), rules relating to deductible liabilities, or changes in the way those tax laws are interpreted, will or may impact the tax liabilities of the Company or the tax treatment of Shares. An interpretation or application of tax laws or regulations by a relevant tax authority that is contrary to the Company's view of those laws may increase the amount of tax paid or payable by the Company. The Company may not realise any of the benefits of the proposed regulations providing tax credits to U.S. producers of graphite.

successfully and profitably growing its battery materials, consulting and technology business. There are considerable financial risks in this.

The Company's ability to utilise its net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be prohibited or subject to certain limitations.

The Company's operating and financial results rely in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by the Company. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, the Company's actual operating results may be materially different from its projected results.

8. Customer risk

11. Risks associated with materials and equipment

The Company’s future growth and success will depend on its ability to sell effectively to large customers. The Company depends, and expects to continue to depend, on a limited number of customers for a significant percentage of its revenue. The Company may not be able to engage target customers successfully and to convert such contacts into meaningful orders in the future.

The Company may not be able to accurately estimate the future supply and demand for its materials and equipment, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in the Company's business and hinder its ability to generate revenue. If the Company fails to accurately predict its manufacturing requirements or prices of components increase, the Company could incur additional costs or experience delays.

9. Third party risk

The Company will rely significantly on relationships with other entities and also on a good relationship with regulatory and government departments and other interest holders. The Company will also rely on third parties to provide essential contracting services. From time to time, the Company may enter into negotiations for acquisitions, dispositions, partnerships, joint ventures, or investments that are not ultimately consummated or, if consummated, may not be successful. There can be no assurance that its existing relationships will continue to be maintained or that new ones will be successfully formed. The Company could be adversely affected by changes to such relationships or difficulties in forming new ones.

10. Financial risk

The Company has a history of financial losses and expect to incur significant expenses and continuing losses in the near future. As disclosed in the annual report disclosed to the ASX on 28 February 2024, the Company achieved a net loss before income tax of US$46.4 million and net operating cash outflows of US$36.2 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is depending upon meeting its cash flow forecasts, raising capital as and when required and

The Company may not be able to establish supply relationships for necessary components or may be required to pay costs for components that are more expensive than anticipated, which could delay the introduction or acquisition of additional equipment necessary to support the Company's growth and negatively impact its business. Labour shortages, turnover, and labour cost increases could adversely impact the Company's ability to scale up manufacturing of its anode materials and commercialise its cathode technology.

12. Reliance on key management personnel

The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management and its key personnel. If the Company is unable to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel, its ability to compete could be harmed.

Whilst the key management team has been well established with on-going stability, there can be no assurance given that there will be no detrimental impact on the Company if one or more of these employees cease their employment or are incapacitated for any length of time.

Risk Factors (cont.)

13. Force majeure

The Company's future prospects and operating and financial performance now or in the future may be adversely affected by risks outside the control of the Company, including fires, labour unrest, civil and political disorder, war, terrorism, subversive activities or sabotage, floods, pandemics, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.

14. Security incidents

The Company's systems and data may be subject to disruptions or other security incidents, or the Company may face alleged violations of laws, regulations, or other obligations relating to data handling that could result in liability and adversely impact the Company's reputation and future sales.

15. Government and legal risk

The Company is subject to substantial regulation (including environmental, health, and safety requirements), changes in government and monetary policies, these and other laws can have a significant impact on the Company's assets, operations and ultimately the financial performance of the Company and the Shares. Such changes are likely to be beyond the control of the Company and may affect industry profitability.

The Company may be exposed to legal proceedings, with or without merit over the course of its operations (including potential product liability claims). The Company cannot preclude the risk of claims being brought against it, such as in connection with intellectual property rights, contractual disputes, employee claims or for a failure to comply with regulatory obligations. Any such claim or dispute if proven, may impact adversely on the Company's operations, financial performance and financial position. In the event that the Company and/or its employees or agents are found to have not met the appropriate standard of care then this may have a material adverse effect on the Company overall. The Company is not currently engaged in any material litigation.

The Company is subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject the Company to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures, and

legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

16. Commercial decision-making and internal controls

The Company has a concentration of beneficial ownership among Phillips 66, LGES, and its executive officers, non-executive directors and their affiliates that may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions. If the Company fails to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fails to identify and remediate its material weaknesses over financial reporting, the Company may be unable to accurately report its results of operations, meet its reporting obligations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its securities may be negatively impacted.

17. IP risk

The Company has developed proprietary production processes and associated IP. The Company's success depends upon its ability to obtain and maintain IP protection for its materials and technologies. The Company protects its processes and IP in a number of ways but there is a risk that competitors may acquire knowledge of these proprietary processes and IP, and undermine what the Company regards as key factors underpinning any competitive advantage it has in the market. This may impact the overall business, with respect to its financial position and overall profitability and operational output. Termination of the Company's collaborative research agreement with Dalhousie University to support the development of current and future technology would likely harm the business, and even if it continues, it may not help the Company successfully develop any new IP.

Additionally, there is always a risk of third parties claiming involvement in, or ownership of, technological discoveries, and if any disputes arise, they could adversely affect the Company. The Company may become involved in lawsuits or other proceedings to protect or enforce its IP, which could be expensive, timeconsuming, and unsuccessful and have a negative effect on the success of its business. The Company may be unable to obtain IP rights or technology necessary to develop and commercialise its materials and equipment. While the Company will implement all reasonable endeavours to protect its intellectual property, there can be no assurance that these measures have been, or will be, sufficient.

38

Risk Factors (cont.)

The Company's patent applications may not result in issued patents or our patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated, or limited in scope, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its ability to prevent others from interfering with our commercialisation of our products. Changes in patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing the Company's ability to protect its technologies and processes. The Company's lack of registered trademarks and trade names could potentially harm its business.

18. Insurance risk

The Company insures its operations in accordance with industry practice. However, in certain circumstances, the Company’s insurance may not be of a nature or level to provide adequate insurance cover. The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect of the business, financial condition and results of the Company.

19. Changes in international trade policy

There is potential for international trade policies and geopolitical events to affect the Company’s trading and supply chains as a result of direct or unintended consequences.

20. Exchange rate risks

The Company is subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact its results of operations. Contracts for supply of anode materials are likely to be in $US. Exchange rate movements may impact on the rate to which earnings convert to Australian dollars.

22. Underwriting risk

The Company has entered into an agreement with the Joint Lead Managers ("Underwriting Agreement"), under which the Joint Lead Managers will subscribe for any New Shares offered under the Institutional Placement that are not acquired by eligible investors as well as act as joint lead managers for both the Institutional Placement and the Conditional Placement. If certain conditions are not satisfied or certain events occur, the Joint Lead Managers may terminate the Underwriting Agreement. Refer to the ‘Summary of the Underwriting Agreement’ section of this Presentation for a summary of the key terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

23. Shareholder approval risk

The Conditional Placement requires shareholder approval in order to proceed to completion. There is a risk that the Company’s shareholders do not approve the Conditional Placement which would result in the Company not raising a significant portion of the proceeds under the Placement. This would mean the Company may need to seek alternative sources of finance which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s share price and there is no guarantee that additional funding will be available (whether debt, equity or otherwise) or if available, that it will be on acceptable terms. Also, certain transaction costs in relation to the Placement (including in respect of the Conditional Placement), such as legal and advisory fees, will still be payable by the Company.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations and scale back its programs. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's activities. Unfavourable market conditions may adversely affect the Company's ability to raise additional funding regardless of the Company's operating performance.

21. Market price of ordinary shares will fluctuate

There have been significant fluctuations and volatility in the prices of equity securities in recent months, which may have been caused by general rather than company-specific factors, including the general state of the economy, the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, investor uncertainty, geopolitical instability (including the conflict in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine), and global hostilities and tensions. Any of these events and resulting fluctuations may materially adversely impact the market price of the Shares. Ordinary shares trade on the ASX. It is possible that the price of the Shares will trade at a market price below the Offer Price as a result of these and other factors.

This document does not constitute an offer of new ordinary shares (" New Shares ") of the Company in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the New Shares may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)

This document constitutes an offering of New Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the " Provinces "), only to persons to whom New Shares may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such securities. This document is not a prospectus, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons who are "accredited investors" within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission.

Securities legislation in certain Provinces may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation, provided the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s Province. A purchaser may refer to any applicable provision of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s Province for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations.

No securities commission or authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the New Shares or the offering of the New Shares and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of New Shares or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. While such resale restrictions generally do not apply to a first trade in a security of a foreign, non-Canadian reporting issuer that is made through an exchange or market outside Canada, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Shares.

The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Shares as there are Canadian tax implications for investors in the Provinces.

Language of documents in Canada.

Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the New Shares (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only.
