ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

(ASX: NVX)

EXHIBIT 99.1

NOVONIX and Stellantis Sign Binding Offtake Agreement

 

BRISBANE, Australia, November 11, 2024 - NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX” or the “Company”), a leading battery materials and technology company, and Stellantis NV (“Stellantis”), a leading automotive company, today announced the signing of a binding offtake agreement for a minimum of 86,250 tonnes, up to a target volume of 115,000 tonnes of high-performance synthetic graphite material. The material will be supplied to Stellantis’ cell manufacturing partners in North America over a six-year term starting in 2026 from NOVONIX’s Riverside facility and a planned expansion site.

 

“We are excited to have Stellantis’ commitment, now as our largest customer, to support their North American EV growth plans,” says Dr. Chris Burns, CEO of NOVONIX. “This contract allocates the remainder of our available volumes at our Riverside facility and a portion of volumes to be produced at our planned greenfield facility. Offtake agreements with high-quality partners such as Stellantis solidify NOVONIX’s position as a leader in onshoring the supply chain of synthetic graphite and accelerating the adoption of clean energy.”

 

NOVONIX’s Riverside facility is poised to become the first large-scale production site dedicated to high-performance synthetic graphite for the battery sector in North America and is slated to begin commercial production in 2025, with plans to grow output to 20,000 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) to meet current customer commitments. Previously, the Company announced the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (“MESC”) awarded the Company a US$100 million grant and was selected for a US$103 million investment tax credit towards the funding of the Riverside facility.

 

The Company is also progressing plans to build a new production facility (in the southeastern United States) that will have an initial capacity of 30,000 tpa and plans to expand that facility to 75,000 tpa. NOVONIX remains in discussions with the DOE Loan Program Office (“LPO”) for an Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Program loan to support the construction of this new production facility. NOVONIX’s current plans call for total production to increase to at least 150,000 tpa of synthetic graphite material to accommodate anticipated customer demand.
