Himadri Speciality Chemical Invests AUD 1.694 Million in Sicona

Himadri Speciality Chemical Increases Investment in Sicona

On August 25, Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd announced an additional AUD 1.694 million investment in Sicona Battery Technologies Pty Ltd through the subscription of 1,694 thousand Compulsorily Convertible Notes (CCNs). The latest transaction increases Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd’s total investment in Sicona to AUD 18.45 million. The investment represents additional financial exposure to Sicona while being structured through convertible notes rather than an immediate acquisition of equity voting rights. The transaction therefore increases Himadri’s investment commitment without giving the company additional voting rights or control in Sicona at the present stage.

Convertible Notes Do Not Provide Additional Control

The latest investment by Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd has been made through Compulsorily Convertible Notes, meaning the company has not acquired any additional voting rights or control in Sicona at present. The structure allows Himadri to increase its financial investment while the securities remain convertible notes. Sicona Battery Technologies Pty Ltd is focused on producing Silicon-Carbon (SiC) anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The investment therefore connects Himadri’s expanded financial commitment with Sicona’s battery-material technology activities.

Expanded Investment Reaches AUD 18.45 Million

Following the subscription of 1,694 thousand Compulsorily Convertible Notes, Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd has increased its cumulative investment in Sicona Battery Technologies Pty Ltd to AUD 18.45 million. Sicona’s focus on Silicon-Carbon (SiC) anode materials places the company within the lithium-ion battery materials ecosystem. However, the latest transaction does not change the current voting or control position because the investment has been structured through convertible notes. Any future conversion would represent a separate stage from the investment announced on August 25.
