Piedmont Lithium reports strong support for Sayona merger ahead of vote

BELMONT, N.C. - Piedmont Lithium Inc. (NASDAQ:PLL; ASX:PLL) announced Monday that votes received to date have been "overwhelmingly in favor" of its proposed merger with Sayona Mining Limited (ASX:SYA), a $174 million market cap company with strong 72.75% revenue growth, as the voting deadline approaches on Wednesday, July 30. According to InvestingPro analysis, Sayona maintains a "GOOD" Financial Health Score of 2.54.

The lithium products supplier stated that leading independent proxy advisory firms in both the U.S. and Australia have recommended shareholders support all three proposals to be considered at the upcoming special meeting. Sayona’s strong financial position is reflected in its healthy current ratio of 1.78 and impressive gross profit margin of 90.85%.

For the transaction to proceed, a majority of outstanding shares must be voted in favor of the merger, according to the company’s statement. Piedmont emphasized the importance of maximizing shareholder participation to achieve the necessary quorum.

The announcement comes as Piedmont continues to position itself as a supplier of lithium products for the U.S. electric vehicle supply chain. The company is developing multiple lithium assets, including its Carolina Lithium project in the United States and partnerships in Quebec with Sayona Mining and in Ghana with Atlantic Lithium.

Piedmont filed a proxy statement with the SEC regarding the proposed merger, which has been distributed to stockholders. The company noted that additional information about the merger is available through the SEC website and Piedmont’s own website.

This information is based on a press release statement from Piedmont Lithium.
