#### PIEDMONT LITHIUM URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE "FOR" MERGER WITH

#### SAYONA MINING AHEAD OF JULY 31, 2025 MEETING
**Belmont, North Carolina, July 28, 2025 –** Piedmont Lithium Inc. ("Piedmont," the "Company") (Nasdaq: PLL; ASX: PLL), a leading North American supplier of lithium products critical to the U.S. electric vehicle supply chain, today reaffirmed its strong support for the proposed merger with Sayona Mining Limited (ASX: SYA) and reminds shareholders to vote on the proposed merger prior to the deadline of 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, July 30.

The Company is pleased to report that the votes received to date have been overwhelmingly in favor of the merger. In addition, the leading U.S. and Australian independent proxy advisory firms have recommended that shareholders support all three proposals to be considered at the upcoming special meeting. For the transaction to proceed, the Company requires a majority of shares outstanding are voted in favor of the merger, so it is critical to maximize shareholder vote turnout to achieve the quorum for the upcoming meeting.
