NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2022 /CNW/ - Glencore Ltd. (the "Company" or "Glencore") announces that on May 31, 2022, the Company was issued an unsecured convertible note (the "Convertible Note") in an aggregate principal amount of USD$200,000,000 (the "Principal Amount") by Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (the "Issuer") As a result of the issuance of the Convertible Note, Glencore could become beneficial holder of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer ("Common Shares") upon conversion of the Convertible Note.

If Glencore elects to convert the entire Principal Amount, the Company would hold 20,100,503 Common Shares, being approximately 10.3% of the outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. Immediately prior to the issuance of the Convertible Note, Glencore, did not beneficially own or exercise control or direction over any Common Shares or any securities convertible into Common Shares.

The Issuer, Glencore and Glencore plc (the "Glencore Parent") are subject to an amended and restated standstill agreement dated May 31, 2022 (the "Standstill Agreement"), which restricts Glencore, the Glencore Parent and their affiliates from taking certain actions, including acquiring voting securities of the Issuer in excess of 5.0% of the then outstanding voting securities of the Issuer, until the five years from the date of the Standstill Agreement (the "Standstill Period"). However, the Standstill Agreement does not restrict Glencore's ability to convert the Convertible Note.

Glencore is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Glencore Parent, a globally diversified natural resource producer and commodities trading company.
