Omnia Metals Finalizes Acquisition of American Antimony with 29.125 Million Shares Issued

Omnia Metals Expands Specialty Metals Portfolio with American Antimony Acquisition

Omnia Metals Group Ltd has successfully acquired American Antimony Metals LLC, significantly broadening its operational reach and product offerings in the specialty metals industry. The acquisition was funded by issuing 25 million fully paid ordinary shares as full consideration for 100% ownership of the American antimony business. This strategic acquisition enhances Omnia Metals’ position in the antimony market, which is vital for flame retardants, battery technologies, and industrial alloys.

The acquisition underscores Omnia Metals’ dedication to diversifying its specialty metals portfolio. Gaining full ownership of American Antimony Metals LLC provides access to established North American operations and market channels. Shareholder approval was secured at the General Meeting on 24 June 2026, ensuring transparency and adherence to corporate governance standards throughout the process.

Capital Restructuring Includes Director Share Placement at $0.02 per Share

Alongside the acquisition, Omnia Metals issued 4.125 million fully paid ordinary shares to directors and their nominees at $0.02 per share. This director placement aligns management interests with shareholders by increasing director ownership in the expanded company. The uniform $0.02 issue price applied to both the acquisition consideration shares and director placement ensures consistent valuation.

This placement supports funding for integration efforts post-acquisition and reinforces management’s vested interest in the company’s growth. Issuing shares to directors at a fixed price reflects transparent pricing discipline and provides clarity on valuation for shareholders.

Nearly 18 Million Quoted Options Issued to Incentivize Lead Manager and Directors

Omnia Metals issued 17,898,335 quoted options (ASX code OM1O) as part of the acquisition financing. These options have an exercise price of $0.025 and expire on 21 March 2028, allowing a two-year conversion window. The options are divided into 2,062,500 free attaching options issued on a one-for-two basis to director placement recipients and 15,835,835 options granted to the lead manager and nominees as compensation for managing the capital raise.

The free attaching options incentivize directors by enabling upside participation if the share price exceeds $0.025 by expiry. The sizeable allocation to the lead manager aligns with market norms for transactions of this scale, compensating for capital raise facilitation and acquisition execution.

Compliance with Corporations Act Section 708A Confirmed

Omnia Metals issued a notice under section 708A(5)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), confirming the securities were issued without disclosure under Part 6D.2, leveraging exemptions available when continuous disclosure and financial reporting obligations are met. The company affirmed no excluded information exists under sections 708A(7) and 708A(8), indicating no withholding of price-sensitive data at issuance.

This compliance assures investors that Omnia Metals fulfilled all Chapter 2M continuous disclosure and section 674 financial reporting requirements as of the securities issuance date. The formal notice evidences that the capital raise adhered fully to Australian securities law exemptions.

Shareholder Approval at June 2026 General Meeting Validates Capital Raise

Shareholders formally approved the issuance of 29,125,000 shares and 17,898,335 options at the General Meeting on 24 June 2026. This endorsement authorized the acquisition consideration and associated capital raise, reflecting majority shareholder support for the board’s strategic direction. The approval preceded the actual securities issuance by about one month, allowing time to complete documentation, regulatory filings, and settlement.

Strategic Importance of Antimony Market Expansion

Antimony is a specialty metal essential for flame retardants, battery chemistries, and alloy manufacturing. The global market faces supply risks and regulatory changes impacting flame retardant usage. Acquiring American Antimony Metals LLC gives Omnia Metals access to North American production and distribution, enhancing supply chain security and geographic diversification.

This acquisition strategically positions Omnia Metals ahead of potential global supply chain shifts and policy emphasis on domestic critical materials. Limited North American antimony capacity makes this operation a valuable asset for serving U.S. and Canadian industrial customers with logistical advantages.

Integration and Operational Consolidation to Follow Acquisition

Post-acquisition, Omnia Metals will focus on integrating operations, aligning financial and strategic priorities across the combined entity. The director placement and capital raise provide funds for integration costs, working capital, and capital expenditures. Management will consolidate reporting, procurement, and production scheduling to optimize efficiency.

Investors should watch upcoming quarterly and half-year results for updates on integration progress, revenue contributions from the antimony business, and any consolidation costs. The company is expected to provide guidance on synergy realization and operational efficiencies.

Share Issuance Dilution and Shareholder Impact

The 29.125 million share issuance significantly increases Omnia Metals’ share capital, diluting existing shareholders’ ownership and earnings per share. This equity-based funding approach reduces financial leverage but expands the equity base. Shareholders should monitor earnings reports to evaluate whether the acquired business offsets dilution through revenue and profitability.

Immediate share price effects will depend on market views of earnings accretion and acquisition rationale. Valuation details such as enterprise value or acquisition multiples were not disclosed in the regulatory notice; investors should consult investor presentations for further information.

Completion of Regulatory Documentation and Legal Compliance

The section 708A(5)(e) compliance notice, signed by Non-Executive Director and Company Secretary Quinton Meyers, confirms all legal and procedural requirements were met. This document is filed with the ASX and publicly available, evidencing adherence to continuous disclosure and securities law exemptions.

The absence of excluded information under sections 708A(7) and 708A(8) confirms no material price-sensitive information was withheld, ensuring transparency and removing potential legal uncertainties. The regulatory compliance finalizes the capital restructuring in line with ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act obligations.
