Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELBM) (“Electra” or the “Company”) announced today it has received an additional 180-days notice (the “Extension”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement ("Minimum Bid Requirement") of US$1.00 per share under Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The Extension has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares (the “Shares”) on the Nasdaq, and the Company's operations are not affected by the receipt of the Extension. Pursuant to the Extension, the Company has until September 16, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, during which time the Shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq.

If at any time before September 16, 2024, the bid price of the Shares closes at or above US$1.00 per Share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. The Extension does not have any impact on the listing of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange.
