\nLargo Inc. (“Largo<\/b>” or the “Company<\/b>“) (TSX: LGO<\/b>) (NASDAQ: LGO<\/b>) today announces that it has entered into a secured loan by way of a promissory note with ARG International AG for a principal amount of $6 million (CAD$8.25 million) (the \u201cNote<\/b>\u201d). The Note is expected to provide near-term working capital support as the Company transitions from turnaround execution to steady-state operations amidst continued pressure from low vanadium prices.<\/p>\n
\nThe Note is secured against the Company\u2019s equity interest in Largo Physical Vanadium Corp. (TSX.V:VAND, OTCQX: VANAF), in which the Company holds a 65.7% majority stake. The Note has a term of six months, bears interest at an annualized rate of 15%, and includes a 1% arrangement fee. Proceeds from the Note are intended to strengthen the Company\u2019s liquidity position and provide flexibility to continue execution on its plan to improve operations during a sustained weakness in vanadium prices.<\/p>\n
\nDaniel Tellechea, Interim CEO of Largo stated: “This loan strengthens our working capital position at a time when our operations have stabilized but market pricing conditions remain challenging. We\u2019ve made meaningful progress on production and cost efficiencies, and this facility is expected to provide some flexibility to manage through current price pressures while continuing to focus on meeting our set targets for the year.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
