/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VAL-D'OR, QC, Dec. 23, 2020 /CNW/ - Vision Lithium Inc. (TSXV: VLI) (OTC PINK: ABEPF) (the "Company" or "Vision Lithium") is pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche (the "First Tranche") of its non-brokered private placement previously announced on November 18, 2020 and December 17, 2020 (the "Offering"). The First Tranche consisted of 39,150,000 units of Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.02 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $783,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Share at price of $0.05 per Share for a period of 3 years following the closing of the First Tranche.

In connection with the First Tranche, finder's fees totalling $49,175 were paid to third parties dealing at arm's length with the Company.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the First Tranche for exploration of certain of its properties and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Certain senior officers and directors of the Company (each, a "Related Party") participated in the First Tranche by subscribing for an aggregate of 2,400,000 Units at an aggregate subscription price of $48,000. The participation of each Related Party in the First Tranche is considered a "related party transaction" under Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (Québec) ("Regulation 61-101") and the corresponding Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company relied on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of Regulation 61-101, respectively, for exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements under Regulation 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Units issued to the Related Parties, nor the amount of consideration paid therefor, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

A material change report in respect of the related party transactions was not filed at least 21 days in advance of the closing of the First Tranche, as the subscriptions from the Related Parties were not confirmed until shortly before the closing and the Company wished to close the First Tranche on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

All securities issued under the First Tranche are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from their date of issuance. The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The offered securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
