Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, on September 1, 2023, American Battery Technology Company (the “Company”) and the United States Department of Energy (the “DOE”), through its Manufacturing Energy Supply Chain (“MESC”) office, entered into an Assistance Agreement (the “Grant”) award number DE-MS0000010, for a $115,489,662 project for the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of a commercial scale facility for the manufacturing of battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide. Under the Grant, the DOE’s cost share is $57,744,831 and the Company’s cost share is $57,744,831.

On May 15, 2025, the Company was notified that, due to a memorandum issued by the DOE, all grants awarded through the MESC office were to undergo an audit process regarding the federal stewardship and substantial involvement terms of all such grants.

On October 9, 2025, the DOE notified the Company that the Grant was terminated, effective as of the end of the budget period ending August 31, 2025.

On October 10, 2025, the Company submitted an appeal of the termination, and intends to pursue its dispute resolution remedies in connection with the termination of the Grant.

As of October 9, 2025 there were approximately $52 million of reimbursable DOE funds remaining on the Assistance Agreement, and year-to-date the Company has already raised over $52 million of funds from the public markets. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal process, the Company intends to move forward with the project without impact to timeline or scope.

The Company’s Tonopah Lithium Flats Project (TFLP), as previously announced in June 2025, has been selected as a Transparency Priority Project by the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) and U.S. Federal Permitting Council. This designation highlights the project’s role in advancing domestic critical mineral lithium production and supporting U.S. energy independence. The project is featured on the FAST-41 Permitting Dashboard. There is no change to the Company’s status as a Priority Project.
