- Adjustment Mechanism: Between the floor and ceiling prices, the ratio adjusts on a straight-line basis between 0.045 and 0.025.
All other material terms and conditions precedent for the transaction remain unchanged. The revised ratio also applies to consideration for European Lithium listed options, unlisted options, and performance rights.
