**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.**

On April 16, 2026, International Battery Metals Ltd. (the "Company") announced a non-brokered private placement financing under the previously announced binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with EV Metals VII LLC ("EV Metals"), an insider of the Company controlled by a director of the Company, Jacob Warnock. Under the terms of the LOI, affiliates of EV Metals have agreed to subscribe to purchase the remaining USD $2.8 million (the "Offering") of units ("Units") under the LOI.

Each Unit will include one Company common share and one warrant (each, a "Warrant") to purchase one common share and will be priced at USD $0.08 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of USD $2.8 million. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Company common share at a price of C$0.15 per share for a period of four years from the date of issuance.

The Offering is expected to close on or around April 24, 2026, pending approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV).

In accordance with the LOI, IBAT will also pay Jacob Warnock a structuring fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds subscribed for by EV Metals affiliates in connection with the Offering, payable in cash at closing. The Units will be subject to a four-month plus one-day hold period under Canadian securities laws and will be considered restricted securities under the Securities Act.

The sale of the Units issued in the Offering were not registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
