LibertyStream Enters into European Distribution Agreement with Existing Industrial Offtake Partner

Agreement establishes a European distribution channel for U.S.-produced lithium carbonate; future sales subject to customer demand and agreed supply plans

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (TSXV: LIB | OTCQB: VLTLF | FSE: I2D) (“LibertyStream” or the “Company”) announces that it entered into a European distribution agreement dated October 30, 2026 (the “Distribution Agreement”) with its existing industrial offtake counterparty. The Distribution Agreement supplements, but does not amend or replace, the parties’ existing lithium carbonate offtake agreement, and establishes a framework for potential international to customers in specified European markets and fulfills the parties’ previously disclosed commitment to establish a European distribution framework.

The Distribution Agreement covers 27 European Union countries, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Turkey. The offtake counterparty has exclusive distribution rights for non-battery customer segments in this territory, including glass and ceramics, metallurgy, construction and pharmaceuticals, subject to specified retained customer accounts. The Company retains rights to serve battery customers and those retained accounts.

The arrangement contemplates lithium carbonate produced at the Company’s U.S. facilities, with specifications determined for individual customers. The Company expects the arrangement to provide an additional channel for potential sales to European industrial customers through its existing partner. Any sales will depend on customer qualification, mutually agreed supply plans and the Company’s ability to produce conforming product; minimum purchase volumes or guaranteed additional sales were not established in the Distribution Agreement.

LibertyStream remains focused on developing its U.S. production capacity and direct customer relationships. The Distribution Agreement provides an additional potential European sales channel, but does not change the volume commitments or qualification conditions under the existing offtake agreement.
