NOVONIX to Commence Trading on Nasdaq through Level II ADR Program

BRISBANE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NOVONIX Limited (ASX: NVX, NASDAQ: NVX, OTCQX: NVNXF) (“NOVONIX” or “the Company”), announces that its American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") will commence trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (‘Nasdaq’) today and its registration statements on Form 20-F and F-6 have been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed depositary, custodian and registrar for the Level II ADR program.

NOVONIX’s ADRs will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “NVX” and will complement the existing primary listing of NVX shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"). Under the Level II program, the ADRs are based on NOVONIX’s ordinary shares currently on issue. Each ADR represents four (4) fully paid shares of NOVONIX.

An ADR is a negotiable receipt, resembling a stock certificate that is issued by a United States depositary bank appointed to evidence one or more American Depositary Shares. Establishing this program is part of an ongoing strategy to expand NOVONIX’s reach to investors in the United States and make the Company’s securities eligible as a direct investment for North American institutions and fund managers.

Under the program, the owners and holders of ADRs will have the same rights to dividends and distributions and voting powers as the holders of NOVONIX’s ordinary shares (ASX: NVX) and F shares (OTCQX: NVNXF), subject to the terms of the deposit agreement.

The establishment of the program by NOVONIX is not a public offering or issuance of new NOVONIX ordinary shares. For more information about the ADR program, including instructions for converting ordinary shares (ASX: NVX) and F shares NOVONIX (OTCQX: NVNXF) to ADRs can be found on the Company’s investor relations website at https://ir.novonixgroup.com.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). This announcement is being issued in accordance with Rule 135 under the Securities Act.
