QUÉBEC CITY, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 22, 2017) - Nemaska Lithium Inc. ("Nemaska" or the "Corporation") (TSX:NMX)(OTCQX:NMKEF)(FRANKFURT:N0T) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors convenes the annual general and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held in Québec City, on Friday, February 16, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.

The record date for notice of the Meeting for voting and beneficial ownership determination was set on Wednesday, January 10, 2018.

The Corporation elected to postpone the date of its annual meeting as there are ongoing negotiations with potential investors or/and strategic investors for the financing of its Whabouchi Mine and Shawinigan Plant, and as potential investments could result with the emergence of a control person which might trigger the obligation that the transaction be approved by the shareholders.
