On December

Québec, via its agent Investissement Québec (“IQ”), in the Corporation for an aggregate amount of US$50
million to continue advancing its development toward commercial operations, subject to regulatory approvals. As the Corporation prepares
for a final investment decision (“FID”) regarding its Phase-2 Matawinie Mine and Bécancour Battery Material

activities
| 5. | Full Description of Material Change |
| 5.1 | Full Description of Material Change |
Each of CGF
and IQ has agreed to subscribe for common shares in the capital of NMG (the “Common Shares”), subject to certain conditions
contained in the subscription agreements entered into between the Corporation and each of CGF and IQ (the “Subscription
Agreements”), for aggregate gross proceeds of US$50 million (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the
Corporation will issue 39,682,538 Common Shares at a price of US$1.26 per Common Share.
For each
Common Share so subscribed, the Corporation will issue one share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) to each of
CGF and IQ. The Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share, from FID to the date that is five (5) years
from the closing of the Offering, at a price per Common Share of US$2.38 – the same strike price than the warrants previously issued
to General Motors Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Co. (collectively, “GM”) (NYSE:
GM), Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd. (“Panasonic Energy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Panasonic Holdings Corporation
(“Panasonic”) (TYO: 6752), and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (‘’Mitsui”) (TYO: 8031) in
February 2024. The exercise of the Warrants is subject to certain ownership limitations.
In connection
with the Offering, the Corporation entered into an investor rights agreement (collectively, the “Investor Rights Agreements”)
and a registration rights agreement with each of CGF and IQ at the closing of the Offering. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreements,
each of CGF and IQ will be restricted from selling its respective securities until August 28, 2025. The Investor Rights Agreements also
provide each of CGF and IQ with certain rights relating to its investment in the Corporation, including namely certain board nomination
and anti-dilution rights.
The Common
Shares and the Warrants are subject to a four-month hold period under Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to certain standard
conditions and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
Terms of Warrants
Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof
to acquire one Common Share, from FID to the date that is five years from the closing of the Private Placement, at a price per Common
Share of US$2.38. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrants, each holder cannot exercise Warrants to own more than 19.9% of
the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, unless it obtains, if required at the time of the exercise of the Warrants, the
conditional approval of the Canadian exchange on which the shares will then be listed and, as applicable, disinterested shareholder approval.
At
a meeting of the board of directors of the Corporation held on December 16, 2024, the directors of the Corporation who had the right to
vote unanimously approved, based on the recommendation of the Corporation’s management and external legal counsel, the issuance
of the Common Shares and the Warrants to CGF and IQ. Notably, the directors of the Corporation who had the right to vote on such
matters approved the execution of the Subscription Agreements with CGF and IQ, the Investor Rights Agreement with CGF and IQ and the Registration
Rights Agreement with CGF and IQ.
The Corporation did not file a material
change report in respect of the Offering at least 21 days before the anticipated closing of the Offering, due to the fact that it was
conditional upon the execution of the above-mentioned agreements and that this abbreviated period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances
as all the terms and conditions of the Offering and the above-mentioned were not fixed.
