Parkway Minerals enters agreement with Lithium Australia NL over Lepidico offer

Parkway Minerals currently owns 97 million Lepidico shares.

Parkway Minerals (ASX:PWN) has this morning outlined that it has reached an agreement with Lithium Australia NL (ASX:LIT) regarding 97 million Lepidico (ASX:LPD) shares owned by the company.

Parkway has agreed to sell all its shares subject to various conditions.

The offer

Earlier today Lithium Australia said that it intends to make a conditional off-market scrip bid of A$23.8 million for all of the fully paid shares in fellow Western Australia lithium explorer and developer, Lepidico.

The basis of the offer will be one LIT share for every 13.25 Lepidico shares.

Adrian Griffin, managing director for LIT, commented:

"The combined entity is likely to be significantly more attractive for investors and financiers as well as a global leader in lithium processing at a time of unprecedented lithium demand."
