[18-February-2019] |
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) announced today that it has received from Nemaska Lithium Inc. a notice of termination of the parties' multi-year supply agreement, under which Nemaska is obligated to start supplying lithium carbonate to Livent starting April 1, 2019. Livent asserts that Nemaska does not have a right to terminate the agreement and Livent intends to enforce its rights as part of the arbitration Livent filed in July 2018. Livent and Nemaska had previously suspended the arbitration while they sought to negotiate a revised schedule, among other agreements, for the supply of lithium carbonate. Livent will resume its arbitration and intends to vigorously pursue its claims.
