Lithium Argentina AG (LAR) Form 6-K — Aug 24, 2026
Lithium Argentina and Ganfeng Lithium have signed definitive agreements to finalize their PPG joint venture in Salta Province, Argentina, alongside a $180 million strategic investment by Ganfeng through a six-year unsecured convertible note with a 4.0% coupon and a $12.50 conversion price, a roughly 96% premium to the company's five-day VWAP on the NYSE. The proceeds, together with cash on hand, will fully repay the company's $259 million convertible debt due January 2027, and the existing $130 million debt facility will be terminated at closing, releasing its security and preferential offtake rights.
