Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - October 22, 2019 - One World Lithium Inc. (OTC:OWRDF) (CNSX:OWLI.CN) (the "Company" or "OWL") announces that the previous non-brokered private placement announced on September 5, 2019 is replaced with a non-brokered private placement of unsecured convertible notes (each, a "Note") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000 (the "Offering").
The principal amount of the Note will accrue interest at 8% per annum, and any accrued but unpaid interest, will mature on the date that is one (1) year following the closing date (the "Maturity Date").

Each Unit is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Share (each a "Warrant Share"), at a price of $0.20 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from closing. The Note, Units, Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares are referred to herein as the "Securities". All Securities will be subject to a hold period for four months and one day from closing.
In the event the Shares have a closing price on the Canadian Securities Exchange of greater than $0.40 per Share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days as well as trade an average of 100,000 Shares per day, the Company may repay all of the principal of the Note, together with all the accrued interest thereon (together, the "Indebtedness") by giving written notice to the holders, (the "Repayment Notice") and subject to the holder's earlier conversion right, the Company will repay the Indebtedness within 10 business days from delivery of the Repayment Notice.
Upon repayment of the Note in full (either at the Maturity Date or in connection with a Repayment Notice), the Company will issue such number of non-transferable common share purchase warrants to such former holders of the Notes that is equal to the principal amount of such Notes divided by $0.15 (each, a "Bonus Warrant") for a maximum issuance of up to 6,666,667 Bonus Warrants (assuming repayment of the $1,000,000 Offering in full). Each Bonus Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Share (each a "Bonus Warrant Share"), at a price of $0.20 per Bonus Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from closing. All Bonus Warrant Shares will be subject to a hold period for four months and one day from closing.
