On January 25, 2022, Lithium Americas Corp. completed its acquisition of Millennial Lithium Corp. pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), for approximately $491 million.
Pursuant to the arrangement, Lithium Americas acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Millennial and Millennial shareholders received 0.1261 of a common share of Lithium Americas and $0.001 in cash in exchange for each Millennial share held.
