• Re-Domiciliation to Texas and establishing the Company’s head office in Dallas reinforces LibertyStream’s commitment to being an active, long-term participant in the state’s dynamic energy-producing community.
• Positions the Company closer to its customer base, enabling the sale of American-produced lithium to American customers while supporting the U.S. Administration’s mandate to build a domestic critical-minerals supply chain.
• Provides shareholders access to the world’s deepest capital markets through a U.S. listing and enhances eligibility for U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense loan and grant programs.

LibertyStream Infrastructure Partners Inc. (TSXV: LIB | OTCQB: VLTLF | FSE: I2D) (“LibertyStream” or the “Company”) announces that it has scheduled March 31, 2026 as the date for a Special Meeting of Shareholders to consider, among other matters, the proposed re-domiciliation of the Company to the State of Texas, USA, and the establishment of the Company’s corporate head office in Dallas, Texas. The proposed re-domiciliation is intended to align LibertyStream’s corporate domicile with its expanding operational presence in West Texas and to further support LibertyStream’s strategic pathway toward a future U.S. exchange listing.

“We have been operating in the Permian Basin in Texas since mid-2024, and in that time we have made tremendous progress advancing LibertyStream’s business,” said Alex Wylie, President & CEO of LibertyStream. “Re-domiciling to Texas and establishing our Corporate Head Office in Dallas, Texas marks an exciting next chapter as we accelerate our strategy to become the first company to commercially extract lithium from oilfield brine in Texas. This move positions us squarely in the center of our operational footprint as we transition toward our commencement of commercial operations anticipated in late 2026 and continue advancing our pathway to a future U.S. listing.”

LibertyStream Re-Domicile Strategy to Texas

LibertyStream is seeking shareholder approval to re-domicile the Company to Texas, USA and establish its Corporate Head Office in Dallas, Texas. Over the past two years, the Company has focused its business on becoming the first commercial producer of lithium from oilfield brines in the Permian Basin. During this period, LibertyStream has successfully scaled its direct lithium extraction (“DLE”) operations to process up to 10,000 barrels of oilfield brine per day and has advanced its refining capabilities to convert lithium chloride eluate into lithium carbonate that meets the technical specifications of future industrial customers, as detailed in the Company’s January 6, 2026 press release.

Re-domiciling the Company to Texas and establishing the Corporate Head Office in Dallas represents the next logical step in LibertyStream’s commercialization strategy. Senior executives relocated to Dallas in 2025 to be closer to field operations, reflecting the Company’s deepening operational footprint in West Texas. As LibertyStream transitions to commercial operations in late 2026, the move positions the Company closer to its customer base, enabling the sale of American-produced lithium to American customers.

In parallel with the Re-Domiciliation and head office transition, LibertyStream is evaluating a U.S. exchange listing targeted for late 2026 or early 2027. Senior management is working closely with Canadian and U.S. legal counsel and auditors to support these efforts.

The Special Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled for March 31, 2026. The record date for the meeting is February 20, 2026 and the mailing of the Information Circular is scheduled for March 9, 2026. Further details of the Re-Domiciliation will be provided in the Information Circular.
