Increasing share of high-nickel content cathodes, which require Lithium Hydroxide, supports higher demand growth High-nickel content chemistries, such as NMC 811 and NCA, provide higher energy density and improve EV performance As nickel content approaches 60%, the higher temperature required to synthesize cathode material with Lithium Carbonate damages the crystal structure of the cathode and changes the oxidation state of the nickel metal Lithium Hydroxide allows rapid and complete cathode material synthesis at lower temperatures, improving battery performance and life 13#14Livent Lithium

Expand Application and Process Technology Advance a Cleaner, Healthier and More Sustainable Future . • Increase production volumes to meet customers' increasing volume requirements Expand low-cost global resources/operations and industry leading lithium processing capabilities Modular Lithium Hydroxide expansion to match timing and geography of customer demand needs Pursue additional sources of lithium (brine or rock) Develop new lithium compounds to enable advances in battery technology Develop new forms of high purity lithium metal, such as LIOVIX®, that can be applied to anode materials or used as anode to increase battery energy density Test and pilot lithium extraction technologies to access new potential lithium sources and/or more efficient production Accelerate investment in or acquisition of new capabilities, human capital and new technologies ⚫ Sustainability is integrated across our operations and underpins our efforts to responsibly manage our environmental impact Expansion and R&D efforts focused on developing and supporting "green" technologies, processes and products 15#164 Livent Livent Expansion Opportunities Brine-based Production Hard-Rock Production • • • • Lithium Carbonate Livent has been extracting Lithium Brine at Salar del Hombre Muerto in Argentina for more than 25 years One of the lowest cost resources globally for Lithium Carbonate (current capacity 20,000 metric tons) and Lithium Chloride (~9,000 metric tons) (1) Proprietary extraction process enables Livent to produce high quality, low impurity Lithium Carbonate Lithium Carbonate currently serves as the feedstock for Livent's downstream Lithium Hydroxide production Targeting total Carbonate capacity in Argentina of 100,000 metric tons by the end of 2030 • Lithium Hydroxide Currently producing qualified battery- grade Lithium Hydroxide in both the U.S. and China (current capacity of ~15,000 metric tons in each region) Livent's operational flexibility and proven capabilities are valued by global customers looking to localize battery material supply chains Modular expansion allows Livent to build new capacity quickly and efficiently in various locations Evaluating building a plant that would process recycled lithium material from batteries into Lithium Hydroxide Targeting total Hydroxide capacity of at least 55,000 metric tons by the end of 2025 (excluding Nemaska) • • Nemaska Lithium: Fully Integrated Hydroxide Production Large and competitive spodumene resource in Québec, Canada, with strong sustainability profile Strategic and supportive location in Québec, Canada with ability to serve customers in North America and Europe Livent to contribute technical and commercial expertise to Nemaska Lithium in the development and future
