NOTES TO THE CARVE-OUT INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

1. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

On January 23, 2023, 1397468 B.C. Ltd. (“New LAC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) for the sole purpose of acquiring ownership of the North American business assets and investments (“LAC North America”) of Lithium Americas Corp. (“Old LAC”), which is now named Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp, pursuant to a separation transaction (the “Separation”). Upon consummation of the Separation on October 3, 2023, New LAC was re-named Lithium Americas Corp. and its common shares were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “LAC.”

The Separation was implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) under the laws of British Columbia pursuant to an arrangement agreement between the Company and Old LAC. As part of the Separation, Old LAC contributed to New LAC, among other assets and liabilities, its interest in the Thacker Pass project (“Thacker Pass”), its investment in Green Technology Metals and Ascend Elements, certain intellectual property rights, its receivable or loan to 1339480 B.C. Ltd., and cash of $275.5 million including $75 million to establish sufficient working capital. New LAC then distributed its common shares to shareholders of Old LAC in a series of share exchanges. The Separation was pro rata to the shareholders of Old LAC, so that the holders maintained the same proportionate interest in Old LAC and New LAC both immediately before and immediately after the Separation.

As at September 30, 2023, Old LAC North America principally held Thacker Pass, a sedimentary-based lithium property located in the McDermitt Caldera in Humboldt County, Nevada, which is in the development stage.

New LAC filed its 20-F amended registration statement in September 2023 to register common shares of New LAC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On January 30, 2023, LAC North America entered into a purchase agreement with General Motors (“GM”) pursuant to which GM has agreed to make a $650,000 investment (the “Transaction”), the proceeds of which are to be used for the construction and development of Thacker Pass. The Transaction is comprised of two tranches, with the $320,148 first tranche investment (“Tranche 1 Investment”) in the form of GM’s subscription for 15,002 subscription receipts of Old LAC, which were automatically converted into 15,002 units comprising an aggregate of 15,002 common shares and 11,891 warrants of Old LAC, having been completed on February 16, 2023, and the gross proceeds released from escrow.

Pursuant to agreements with GM, the second tranche subscription agreements (related to the anticipated second tranche investment of approximately $330,000 by GM) between GM and Old LAC were terminated on October 3, 2023 and replaced by corresponding subscription agreements between GM and New LAC (see Note 9) such that the proceeds will be received by New LAC.

In addition, LAC North America is advancing an application process under the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program, which, if granted, could provide up to 75% of Thacker Pass’ total capital costs for construction.

x. BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

New LAC’s head office and principal address is Suite 400, 900 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1E5.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

The accompanying carve-out interim financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of providing historical information of LAC North America. The carve-out interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These carve-out interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with LAC North America’s carve-out annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Carve-out Financials”), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Transactions and balances between LAC North America and Old LAC are reflected as related party transactions within these financial statements.

The accompanying carve-out interim financial statements include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations that are specifically identifiable to LAC North America. This includes relevant assets, liabilities and expenses Thacker Pass, specified investments, transactions and balances arising from the GM funding, as well as certain costs related to the management of LAC North America by Old LAC. Such costs have been allocated to LAC North America from the shared corporate expenses of Old LAC based on the estimated level of involvement of Old LAC management and employees with LAC North America. LAC North America has operated as a division of Old LAC and not as a stand-alone company. LAC North America receives services and support from Old LAC and is dependent upon Old LAC’s ability to perform these services and support functions.

Allocated costs are primarily related to corporate administrative expenses and employment costs of Old LAC employees who provide services including accounting and finance, legal, information technology, human resources, marketing, investor relations, contract support, treasury, administrative and other corporate head office services.

Old LAC has centralized processes and systems for cash management, payroll, and purchasing, and manages a treasury function and keeps cash balances that are used to finance the activities of LAC North America through periodic cash calls. The results of the Old LAC’s cash transactions on behalf of LAC North America are reflected either as Loan from parent within liabilities or as Net parent investment within equity in the accompanying balance sheets based on whether the transactions were subject to the formal loan agreement with Old LAC or related to amounts attributed to LAC North America from the activities of the Old LAC.

The Net parent investment represents Old LAC’s interest in the recorded net assets of LAC North America and the cumulative net equity investment by Old LAC through the dates presented. The Loan from parent balance was contributed to the equity of New LAC at the time of closing the Separation.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION (continued)

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the carve-out interim financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The expenses and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered by Old LAC to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by LAC North America during the periods presented relative to the total costs incurred by Old LAC. However, the amounts recorded for these transactions and allocations are not necessarily representative of the amount that would have been reflected in the financial statements had LAC North America been an entity that operated independently of Old LAC.

The amounts that would have been or will be incurred on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, management judgment, cash management and financing obtained as a stand-alone company, or other factors.

Consequently, future results of operations, after LAC North America is separated from Old LAC, will include costs and expenses that may be materially different than the carve-out historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Accordingly, the financial statements for these periods are not necessarily indicative of the future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of LAC North America.

Certain transactions of LAC North America have historically been included in tax returns filed by the Old LAC. The income tax amounts included in these financial statements have been calculated using the separate return method as if LAC North America had included such amounts in its own tax returns. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the stand-alone financial statements as if LAC North America were a separate taxpayer from Old LAC for the periods presented.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of these carve-out interim financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. LAC North America bases its estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate was made. Accordingly, actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these financial statements and such differences could be material. The amounts presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future years.

The nature and number of significant estimates and judgments made by management in applying the accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are substantially the same as those that management applied to the 2022 Carve-out Financials, except as described below.

Estimation Uncertainty and Accounting Policy Judgments

Accounting for the Agreements with General Motors

LAC North America’s accounting for the agreements with General Motors involved judgment, specifically in its assumption that in LAC North America’s determination the Offtake Agreement represents an agreement with market selling prices; and that the Offtake is separate from the equity financing provided by GM (see Notes 9 and 16).

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The fair value of the warrant and subscription agreements with GM involved estimation, which was determined using Monte Carlo simulation that required significant assumptions, including expected volatility of Old LAC’s share price. The warrants were terminated on July 31 ,2023 (see Note 1), following termination, the fair value of the subscription agreement with GM still involved estimation thereby requiring them to Monte Carlo simulation.

Commencement of Development of Thacker Pass

LAC North America determined that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of Thacker Pass had been demonstrated following the release of an independent National Instrument 43-101 feasibility study (the “Thacker Pass Feasibility Study”) on January 31, 2023, the receipt of the favorable ruling from the US District Court, District of Nevada (“Federal Court”) for the issuance of the Record of Decision (“ROD”), and the receipt of notice to proceed from the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) on February 7, 2023. LAC North America entered into an engineering, procurement and construction management (“EPCM”) agreement and other construction-related contracts. Construction of Thacker Pass, including site preparation, geotechnical drilling, water pipeline development and associated infrastructure has commenced. Accordingly, the capitalized costs of Thacker Pass were transferred to property, plant and equipment from exploration and evaluation assets and capitalization of development costs commenced February 1, 2023.

Concurrent with the transfer of the Thacker Pass assets from exploration and evaluation to property, plant and equipment, LAC North America completed an impairment test of Thacker Pass which compared the carrying value to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the value in use and the fair value less disposal costs. The fair value less disposal costs is calculated using a discounted cash flow model with feasibility study economics. The significant assumptions that impacted the fair value included future lithium prices, capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, estimated mineral reserves and resources, and the discount rate. Based on the result of the impairment test, management concluded that there was no impairment.

New IFRS Pronouncements

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements titled Non-current Liabilities with Covenants.

These amendments sought to improve the information that an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within 12 months after the reporting period. These amendments to IAS 1 override but incorporate the previous amendments, Classification of liabilities as current or non-current, issued in January 2020, which clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. As these amendments are effective January 1, 2024, they do not impact these carve-out interim financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Amendment to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements” and the IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements” to provide guidance on the application of materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose significant accounting policies with a requirement to disclose material accounting policies. Guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgments about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments were effective January 1, 2023. These amendments did not impact these carve-out interim financial statements.

4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

	September 30, 2023 $		December 31, 2022 $
Cash and cash equivalents		200,499		636
		200,499		636

Cash and cash equivalents include the remaining net proceeds of the Tranche 1 Investment. On October 3, 2023, an additional $75 million in cash was transferred from Old LAC to New LAC to establish sufficient working capital for New LAC, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement (see Note 16).

5. INVESTMENT IN GREEN TECHNOLOGY METALS

On April 28, 2022, Old LAC entered into an agreement to acquire shares of Green Technology Metals Limited (ASX: GT1) (“Green Technology Metals”), a North American focused lithium exploration and development public company with hard rock spodumene assets in north-western Ontario, Canada, in a private placement for total consideration of $10,000.

As at September 30, 2023, LAC North America holds approximately 13,301 common shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Green Technology Metals with a fair value of $3,590 determined based on the market price of Green Technology Metals’ shares as of such date. A loss on change in fair value of Green Technology Metals Shares of $3,861 was recognized in the statements of comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

8. EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Exploration and evaluation assets relating to Thacker Pass and other projects were as follows:

	$
Exploration and evaluation assets, as at December 31, 2021		5,747
Additions		4,120
Write off of non-Thacker Pass assets		(353	)

Additions		347
Transfers to PP&E (Note 7)		(9,091	)
Total exploration and evaluation assets, as at September 30, 2023		770

Upon commencement of development of Thacker Pass, the capitalized costs of Thacker Pass were transferred from exploration and evaluation assets to property, plant and equipment and LAC North America began to capitalize development costs starting February 1, 2023 (see Note 3).

Concurrent with the transfer of the Thacker Pass assets from exploration and evaluation to property, plant and equipment, LAC North America completed an impairment test of Thacker Pass which compared the carrying value to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the value in use and the fair value less disposal costs. The fair value less disposal costs was calculated using a discounted cash flow model with feasibility study economics. The significant assumptions that impacted the fair value included future lithium prices, capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, estimated mineral reserves and resources, and the discount rate. Based on the result of the impairment test, management concluded that there was no impairment.

LAC North America has certain commitments for royalty and other payments to be made on Thacker Pass as set out below. These amounts will only be payable if LAC North America continues to hold the subject claims in the future and the royalties will only be incurred if LAC North America starts production from Thacker Pass.

• 20% royalty on revenue solely in respect of uranium;

• 8% gross revenue royalty on all claims up to a cumulative payment of $22,000. The royalty will then be reduced to 4% for the life of the project. LAC North America has the option at any time to reduce the royalty to 1.75% upon payment of $22,000.

9. AGREEMENTS WITH GENERAL MOTORS

On January 30, 2023, Old LAC entered into an agreement with GM, pursuant to which GM has agreed to make a $650,000 equity investment in two tranches. The proceeds from the Transaction are to be used for the construction and development of Thacker Pass. On February 16, 2023, the first tranche of $320,148 closed, resulting in GM’s purchase of 15,002 common shares of Old LAC, with the funds presented as part of the Net parent investment in LAC North America. In connection with the first tranche of GM’s investment, Old LAC and GM also entered into (a) a warrant certificate and a subscription agreement (“GM Tranche 2 Agreements”), each in relation to a second tranche investment of up to $330,000; (b) an offtake agreement to supply GM with lithium carbonate production from Thacker Pass (the “Offtake Agreement”); and (c) an investor rights agreement.

9. AGREEMENTS WITH GENERAL MOTORS (continued)

GM Tranche 2 Agreements

Pursuant to the GM Tranche 2 Agreements, upon completion of the Separation, the GM Tranche 2 Agreements were made ineffective in accordance with their terms and replaced by corresponding agreements between New LAC and GM. The second tranche investment will be implemented through the purchase of common shares under the New LAC agreements.

Under the second tranche subscription agreement which expires in August 2024, GM will purchase common shares of New LAC subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including the condition that New LAC secures sufficient funding to complete the development of Phase 1 for Thacker Pass (“the Funding Condition”). The subscription agreement calls for an aggregate purchase price of up to $330,000, with the number of shares to be determined using a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the 5-day volume weighted average share price (which is determined as of the date the notice that the Funding Condition has been met) and (b) $17.36 per share (see Note 16).

As the Separation was completed before the closing of the second tranche, the GM Tranche 2 subscription agreement with Old LAC was made ineffective in consideration for the purchase of two common shares of Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and, in its place, a new subscription agreement was executed by New LAC and GM. The terms of the New LAC subscription agreement substantially mirrors the subscription agreement previously executed by Old LAC, subject to the shares and price being adjusted by New LAC value ratio, such that GM’s second tranche investment of up to $330,000 will be made in New LAC.

The GM Tranche 2 Agreements are treated as a derivative since the Agreements may result in the issuance of a variable number of shares for the fixed subscription price, initially measured at fair value and subsequently carried at fair value through profit and loss.

LAC North America recorded the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative at an initial fair value of $33,194 and the net proceeds of Tranche 1 investment were recorded in Net parent investment. Financial advisory fees of approximately $16,803 and other transaction costs of $174 were paid in connection with the closing of the first tranche. The $1,760 portion of the transaction costs related to the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative were expensed. Transactions costs of $15,217 attributable to the GM Tranche 1 proceeds were recorded in the Net parent investment. Financial advisory fees of $6,227 will become payable upon completion of the closing of the second tranche of GM’s investment.

Changes in the value of the GM Tranche 2 Agreements are summarized below:

9. AGREEMENTS WITH GENERAL MOTORS (continued)

The fair value of the derivative as of January 30, 2023 was determined using Monte Carlo simulation, with the following inputs: volatility of 58.34%, share price of $21.99, a risk-free rate of 4.77%, and an expected dividend of 0%. The fair value of the derivative as of September 30, 2023 was estimated with the following inputs: volatility of 46.47%, Old LAC’s share price of $17.01, a risk-free rate of 5.71%, and an expected dividend of 0%. A gain on change in the fair value of the derivative for the period from issuance to September 30, 2023, of $32,824 was recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss.

Valuation of the derivative is sensitive to changes in Old LAC’s (and, following Separation, New LAC’s) share price and the assumed volatility of common shares. The gain was driven by changes in the underlying valuation assumptions, including the decrease as at September 30, 2023, compared to January 30, 2023, of Old LAC’s market share price from $21.99 to $17.01, a decrease in volatility assumption from 58.34% to 49.13%, partially offset by an increase in risk-free rate from 4.77% to 5.68%. A reduction/increase of Old LAC’s share price by 10% would result in a corresponding reduction/increase of the derivative value by 88% and 129% respectively. A reduction/increase of the volatility assumption by 10% would result in a corresponding reduction/increase of the derivative value by 91% and 104% respectively.

Offtake Agreement

Pursuant to the Offtake Agreement, GM may purchase up to 100% of Thacker Pass Phase 1 production at a price based on prevailing market rates. The term of the arrangement for Phase 1 production is ten years, subject to a five-year extension at GM’s option and other limited extensions. New LAC has also granted GM a right of first refusal on Thacker Pass Phase 2 production. The volume available under the Offtake Agreement is subject to the receipt of the second tranche of GM’s investment and may be reduced proportionately in certain circumstances if GM’s remaining investment is less than $330,000.

LAC North America entered into a line of credit agreement with Old LAC dated effective January 1, 2020, for funding of Thacker Pass expenditures. The line of credit was for $40,000 in total and each drawdown had a maturity of December 31, 2023, and an interest rate of 9% per annum. As at September 30, 2023, LAC North America had drawn $40,000 from the Loan from parent. Interest accrued on the loan as at September 30, 2023 was $6,259. The Loan from parent was transferred by Old LAC to New LAC upon Separation (see Note 1).

These amounts are included in the mining contractor liability balance.

LAC North America will pay a success fee to the mining contractor of $4,675 upon achieving certain commercial mining milestones or repay the $3,500 advance without interest if such commercial mining milestones are not met.

12. EQUITY COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

Prior to the Separation on October 3, 2023, Old LAC’s employees participated in Old LAC’s equity incentive plan (“Plan”) in accordance with the policies of the TSX whereby, from time to time, at the discretion of the Old LAC’s board of directors, eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants were: (1) granted incentive stock options exercisable to purchase Old LAC common shares (“Stock Options”); and (2) awarded deferred share units (“DSUs”) restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) that, subject to a recipient’s deferral right in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada), convert automatically into Old LAC common shares upon vesting.

The exercise price of each stock option was based on the fair market price of Old LAC common shares at the time of the grant. Stock options are granted for a maximum term of five years.

Restricted Share Units

During the nine months ended September, 2023, Old LAC granted 127 (2022 – 96) RSUs to LAC North America employees and consultants. The total estimated fair value of the RSUs was $3,204 (2022 – $2,367) based on the market value of Old LAC’s shares on the grant date.

As at September 30, 2023, there was $2,346 (2022 – $1,714) of total unamortized compensation cost relating to unvested RSUs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $70 was charged to operating expenses (2022 – $714).

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

LAC North America entered into the following transactions with related parties:

Funding from Parent Company

As described in Note 2, LAC North America is funded via a loan from Old LAC (recorded within liabilities (see Note 10)) or capital contributions (recorded within Net parent investment in equity). The Net parent investment represents Old LAC’s interest in the recorded net assets of LAC North America and the cumulative net equity investment by Old LAC through the dates presented.

Allocation of Parent Company Costs

Certain costs related to LAC North America incurred by Old LAC, are allocated to LAC North America and presented as general and administrative expenditures and transaction costs in the carve-out statement of comprehensive loss (see Note 2).

Transaction costs include professional fees for advisors and transaction fees relating to the execution of the GM agreements and Separation.

14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION

LAC North America operates in one operating segment and one geographical area. Thacker Pass was in the exploration and evaluation phase and transferred to the development stage effective February 1, 2023. Substantially all the assets and the liabilities of LAC North America relate to Thacker Pass.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the carve-out statements of financial position and presented in fair value disclosures are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and

• Level 3 – Inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market inputs whenever such inputs exist. A financial instrument is classified in the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value. Common shares and preferred shares acquired as part of the Green Technology Metals and Ascend Elements investments respectively, and the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative are measured at fair value on the statement of financial position on a recurring basis.

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and Loan from parent are measured at amortized cost on the carve-out statement of financial position. As at September 30, 2023, the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their carrying value. Green Technology Metals shares are classified at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 5), the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative (see Note 9) is classified at level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and Ascend Elements preference shares are classified at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 6).

LAC North America manages risks to minimize potential losses. The main objective of LAC North America’s risk management process is to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks which impact LAC North America’s financial instruments are described below.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. Financial instruments that potentially subject LAC North America to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables. LAC North America’s maximum exposure to credit risk for cash and receivables is the amount disclosed in the consolidated statements of financial position. Exposure to credit loss is limited by placing cash and cash equivalents (including the Tranche 1 Investment proceeds) with two major Canadian banks and investing in US treasury bills and other short-term investments that are guaranteed by the Canadian government or Canadian chartered banks. Expected credit losses estimated to be de minimis.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that LAC North America will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. LAC North America’s approach to managing liquidity is to evaluate current and expected liquidity requirements under both normal and stressed conditions to estimate and maintain sufficient reserves of cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term. LAC North America prepares annual budgets, which are regularly monitored and updated as considered necessary. As at September 30, 2023, LAC North America had a cash and cash equivalents of $200,499 to settle current liabilities of $64,593 (see Note 1). Current liabilities include the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative which will be settled in shares.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 3, 2023, the Separation was implemented pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement which included the transfer of $75 million in cash by Old LAC to New LAC to establish sufficient working capital for New LAC. Upon Separation, each shareholder of Old LAC was granted one common share of Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and one common share of New LAC in exchange for each Old LAC share, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Holders of Old LAC’s restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units have received one similar instrument in each of Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and New LAC, subject to certain conditions. On October 3, 2023, New LAC had 160,047,671 common shares issued and outstanding, and 2,171,285 of restricted share units and 225,135 deferred share units were issued in connection with the Plan of the Arrangement.

At the start of trading on October 4, 2023, Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and New LAC commenced trading on the TSX and NYSE on a regular-way basis under the ticker symbols “LAAC” and “LAC,” respectively.

Pursuant to the GM Tranche 2 Agreements, on October 3, 2023, the GM Tranche 2 Agreements are terminated and replaced by corresponding agreements between New LAC and GM (see Note 9). The second tranche investment will be implemented through a purchase of common shares at the prevailing market price to a maximum price of $17.36 per common share, under the replacement New LAC agreements.

The terms of the subscription agreements substantially mirror the agreements previously executed by Old LAC, subject to the shares and price being adjusted by New LAC value ratio, such that GM’s second tranche investment of up to $330,000 will be made in New LAC.

As part of the plan of the arrangement, the offtake agreement has been distributed to New LAC.

Immediately after the Separation on October 3, 2023, the assets and liabilities New LAC on a pro forma basis were as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

BACKGROUND

On January 23, 2023, 1397468 B.C. Ltd (“New LAC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) for the sole purpose of acquiring ownership of the North American business assets and investments (“LAC North America”) of Lithium Americas Corp. (“Old LAC”), which is now named Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp., pursuant to a separation transaction (the “Separation”). Upon consummation of the Separation on October 3, 2023, New LAC was re-named Lithium Americas Corp., and its common shares were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “LAC.”

The Separation was implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (“Plan of Arrangement”) under the laws of British Columbia pursuant to an arrangement agreement between the Company and Old LAC. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation, Old LAC contributed to New LAC, among other assets and liabilities, its interest in the Thacker Pass project (“Thacker Pass”), its investment in Green Technology Metals and Ascend Elements, certain intellectual property rights, its receivable or loan to 1339480 B.C. Ltd., and cash of $275.5 million including $75 million to establish sufficient working capital. New LAC then distributed its common shares to shareholders of Old LAC in a series of share exchanges. The Separation was pro rata to the shareholders of Old LAC, so that the holders maintained the same proportionate interest in Old LAC and New LAC both immediately before and immediately after the Separation.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of New LAC, prepared as of November 8, 2023, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated carve-out interim financial statements and the notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (“Q3 2023 financial statements”), and LAC North Americas’ audited carve-out financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 annual financial statements”). All amounts are expressed in US dollars, unless otherwise stated. References to CDN$ are in Canadian dollars. This MD&A contains “forward-looking statements,” and readers should read the cautionary note contained in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” of this MD&A regarding such forward-looking statements.

OUR BUSINESS

New LAC is a Canadian-based resource company focused on the advancement of significant lithium projects. The Company strives to operate under the highest environmental, social, governance and safety (“ESG-S”) standards to foster the sustainable advancement of projects that support the vital lithium supply chain and the global transition to cleaner energy. Our flagship project is Thacker Pass, located in northwestern Nevada, USA. Thacker Pass is a sedimentary-based lithium deposit located in the McDermitt Caldera in Humboldt County, Nevada. The Company owns 100% of Thacker Pass through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lithium Nevada Corp. (“Lithium Nevada”). The Company also holds investments in Green Technology Metals Limited (“GT1”) and Ascend Elements, Inc. (“Ascend Elements”), and exploration properties in the United States and Canada.

The Company’s head office and principal address is Suite 400, 900 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 1E5. The Company trades in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and in the United States on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “LAC.” The Company operates in the United States through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lithium Nevada.

Additional information relating to the Company, including the Company’s Alternative Annual Information Form (“AIF”), is available on the Company’s website at www.lithiumamericas.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

HIGHLIGHTS

Thacker Pass

• Major earthworks and detailed engineering continue to advance in preparation for major construction to commence in 2024.

• The Company acquired repurposed temporary housing and kitchen facilities for the workforce hub, to provide housing for construction workers in the town of Winnemucca. The units are being shipped and delivered to the site in preparation for peak construction. Earthworks to prepare the workforce hub facility in Winnemucca are ongoing and progressing well.

• The Company continues to work closely with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office to advance confirmatory due diligence and term sheet negotiations for the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (“ATVM Loan Program”), following the receipt of a Letter of Substantial Completion on February 22, 2023.

• The Company expects the DOE ATVM Loan Program conditional approval process to be completed in late-2023-early-2024, and if approved, to fund up to 75% of capital costs for construction of Phase 1. Development costs incurred by the project may qualify as eligible costs under the ATVM Loan Program as of January 31, 2023.

• The construction budget for the second half of 2023 is $145 million (cash based), of which $51.1 million was spent in Q3 2023 primarily on advancing engineering, earthworks and the workforce hub.

• The Department of Economics at the University of Nevada, Reno completed an Economic Impact Assessment of Thacker Pass Phase 1 and 2 construction and operations over the 40-year life of mine for Humboldt Country and the State of Nevada, based on the Thacker Pass Feasibility Study, effective November 2, 2022. Based on this assessment:

• Thacker Pass is expected to generate over 1,500 construction jobs.

• In Humboldt County, Phase 1 and 2 construction activities are estimated to generate approximately $725 million of economic activity annually, and operations after project completion are estimated to generate economic impact of at approximately $2 billion annually.

• In the State of Nevada, it is expected that every $1 the Company invests on Phase 1 and 2 capital construction will generate an additional $0.76 of spending, and that every direct job created during construction will generate an additional six jobs.

Corporate

• As at October 3, 2023, the Company had approximately $275.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

• The maximum price for General Motors (“GM”) second tranche investment equal to an aggregate purchase price of $330 million (“Tranche 2”) was adjusted post-Separation. GM is expected to invest Tranche 2 following the Company securing sufficient available capital to fund the development of Thacker Pass Phase 1 (the “Funding Condition”). The number of shares is to be determined using a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the 5-day volume weighted average share price (which is determined as of the date the notice that the Funding Condition has been met) and (b) $17.36 per share, as adjusted for the Separation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

Health and Safety

Together with the Company’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (“EPCM”) contractor, Bechtel, construction at Thacker Pass continues to move forward with a focus on safety. At the end of September 2023, 71,567 work hours were completed on-site without a lost time incident (“LTI”).

DOE Loan Application and Financing Process

The Company continues to work closely with the DOE Loans Program Office to advance confirmatory due diligence and term sheet negotiations for the ATVM Loan Program, following the receipt of a Letter of Substantial Completion on February 22, 2023.

The Company expects the DOE ATVM Loan Program conditional approval process to be completed in late-2023-early-2024, and if approved, to fund up to 75% of capital costs for construction of Phase 1. Development costs incurred by the project may qualify as eligible costs under the ATVM Loan Program as of January 31, 2023.

The Letter of Substantial Completion followed the Company’s April 2022 application for the DOE ATVM Loan Program. The DOE’s invitation to enter into confirmatory due diligence is not an assurance that DOE will offer a term sheet to the applicant, or that the terms and conditions of a term sheet will be consistent with terms proposed by the applicant. The foregoing matters are wholly dependent on the results of DOE advanced due diligence and DOE’s determination whether to proceed.

With the combination of expected funding from the ATVM Loan Program, General Motors’ $650 million equity investment (see below) and cash on hand, the Company expects to secure funding to substantially de-risk Thacker Pass Phase 1 construction.

Regulatory and Permitting

All state and federal permits to begin construction are in place and the Company commenced construction on February 28, 2023, following receipt of a notice to proceed from the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”).

On February 6, 2023, the Company received a favorable ruling from the Federal Court for the appeal filed against the BLM for the issuance of the Record of Decision (“ROD”) (the “Initial ROD Challenge”). The Federal Court declined to vacate the ROD for the mining Plan of Operations and ordered the BLM to consider one issue under the mining law relating to whether the Company possesses adequate mining-claim rights to the lands over the area in which the waste rock storage and tailings are expected to be located. On May 16, 2023, the U.S. Interior Department announced the completion of the court-remanded analysis and found that nearly all of the site contains viable lithium with fewer than 10 claims not containing lithium mineralization. This was the Company’s final obstacle for continuing construction.

A subsequent appeal of the Federal Court’s ruling in the Initial ROD Challenge was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in February 2023. The appellants’ motions for an injunction pending appeal were all denied by the courts, and construction commenced. On July 17, 2023, the Ninth Circuit court unanimously affirmed the District Court’s decision.

A new lawsuit was filed in Federal District Court in February 2023 by three tribes asserting among other claims, inadequate consultation by the BLM prior to the issuance of the ROD. The arguments advanced in the new lawsuit overlap with certain of the arguments advanced during the Initial ROD Challenge. The Company intervened in this new lawsuit in support of the ROD. In March 2023, the Federal District Court denied the plaintiffs’ requests for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

The Company’s application with the State of Nevada Division of Water Resources (“NDWR”) for the transfer of certain water rights for Phase 1 of the Thacker Pass Project was approved by the State Engineer in February 2023. The State Engineer’s Office issued the final water rights permits on June 30 and July 3, 2023, authorizing the Company to use its water production wells. The State Engineer’s decision was appealed by a local ranching company in March 2023. The case is currently pending. The Company has commenced using the water rights for construction activities at the Thacker Pass project site consistent with the State Engineer’s authorization.

Construction Update

On March 2, 2023, the Company announced the start of construction activities at Thacker Pass following receipt of notice to proceed from the BLM. Thacker Pass is expected to create over 1,500 jobs during construction and 500 jobs during operations. Initial production of Phase 1 following mechanical completion is targeted to commence in the second half of 2026.

The Company has awarded the EPCM contract to Bechtel, for the design, procurement and execution of Phase 1. Other major construction contracts awarded include:

• Aquatech International LLC has been awarded the contract for the magnesium sulfate and lithium carbonate chemical plants.

• EXP Global Inc. has been awarded the contract for the engineering, procurement, construction support, commissioning and start-up services for the sulfuric acid plant.

• MECS, Inc. was awarded the contract for the technology license, engineering and equipment for the sulfuric acid plant including their state-of-the-art MECS^® Heat Recovery System, to harness waste heat to generate steam from the sulfuric acid plant, which will subsequently be converted into carbon-free electricity for the processing plant.

• The transload terminal design has been awarded to a contractor.

The Company, Bechtel and the North American Building Trade Unions (“NABTU”) have entered into a memorandum of understanding agreeing to a project labor agreement (“PLA”) for major construction activities for Phase 1 of Thacker Pass. Further, the parties agreed to utilize the form of a National Construction Agreement with a project specific addendum as the PLA for the Thacker Pass construction.

Construction is progressing on track, including the start of major earthworks construction in mid-June 2023. The water pipelines and ponds required during construction are completed, and the ponds were filled in early-July 2023.

A parcel of land in Winnemucca for the workforce hub, which will provide housing for temporary construction workers, was identified and secured. The Company acquired repurposed temporary housing and kitchen facilities for the workforce hub that is currently mobilized and being delivered to the site. The workforce hub is expected to be completed by mid-2024 in advance of peak construction.

General Motors

On January 30, 2023, Old LAC entered into a purchase agreement with GM pursuant to which GM agreed to make a $650 million equity investment in two tranches. The investment from GM is to support the North American business by creating the foundation for an independent U.S. business focused on Thacker Pass and a North American lithium supply chain. This investment is the largest-ever investment to date by an automaker to produce battery raw materials.

On February 16, 2023, the first tranche of $320 million closed with GM’s purchase of 15 million common shares of Old LAC at $21.34 per share, at which time Old LAC and GM separately entered into an offtake agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) where GM receives exclusive access to Phase 1 production through a binding supply agreement and a Right of First Offer on Phase 2 production.

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

The second tranche of an aggregate purchase price of $330 million is subject to a number of conditions and approvals, including the Funding Condition. Tranche 2 will be implemented through the purchase of common shares, with the number of shares to be determined using a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the 5-day volume weighted average share price (which is determined as of the date the notice that the Funding Condition has been met) and (b) $17.36 per share, as adjusted for the Separation.

On Separation, the GM agreements relating to the second tranche were terminated and replaced by corresponding agreements between New LAC and GM. GM is New LAC’s largest shareholder and offtake partner.

Financial advisory fees of approximately $17 million were accrued or paid in connection with the closing of the first tranche and $6 million will become payable upon completion of the second tranche of GM’s investment.

Economic Impact Assessment

The Department of Economics at the University of Nevada, Reno completed an Economic Impact Assessment of Thacker Pass Phase 1 and 2 construction and operations over the 40-year life of mine for Humboldt Country and the state of Nevada, based on the Thacker Pass Feasibility Study, effective November 2, 2022. Based on this assessment:

• Thacker Pass is expected to generate over 1,500 construction jobs and 500 permanent jobs during operations.

• In Humboldt County, Phase 1 and 2 construction activities are estimated to generate approximately $725 million of economic activity annually, and operations after project completion are estimated to generate economic impact of approximately $2 billion annually.

• In the State of Nevada, it is estimated that every $1 the Company invests on Phase 1 and 2 capital construction will generate an additional $0.76 of spending and that every direct job created during construction will generate an additional six jobs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

Net income of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with net loss of $44.3 million for the prior year to date period, is primarily attributable to:

• a decrease in exploration expenditures related to commencement of construction of Thacker Pass and commencement of capitalization of a majority of the project costs effective February 1, 2023; and

• a gain on change in fair value of the derivative liability with respect to a warrant agreement and a subscription agreement with GM (“GM Tranche 2 Agreements”) of $32.8 million driven primarily by a decrease in the market value of Old LAC’s shares and volatility assumptions at September 30, 2023, compared to inception of the agreements. As the GM Tranche 2 Agreements were signed in the current year to date period, the derivative liability did not exist in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

• a gain on change in fair value of the investment in Ascend Elements.

Higher net income was partially offset by:

• higher transaction costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 mainly associated with professional and advisory fees as well as transaction fees related to the GM transaction and Separation;

• higher allocation of corporate costs due to an increase in salaries, other compensation costs, office and administration expenditures incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in order to be prepared to operate independently after Separation; and

• a higher loss on change in fair value of investment in Green Technology Metals.

Expenses

Exploration and evaluation expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased to $3.9 million compared with $31.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The current year to date period includes Thacker Pass exploration expenditures for the month of January 2023, after which construction commenced on February 1, 2023 and a majority of the project costs from February 1, 2023 were capitalized.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $10.0 million compared with $6.6 million in the prior year to date period due to higher allocation of corporate costs and higher insurance, legal and consulting fees reflecting increased corporate activities. Salaries and benefits increased in the current year to date period, mainly due to an increase in the number of employees to support growth of the Company’s operations and increases in remuneration of employees and directors due to an increase in the size and scope of the business operations.

Other Items

The gain on change in fair value of the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative liability of $32.8 million was driven by changes in the underlying valuation assumptions, including the decrease as at September 30, 2023 compared to January 30, 2023, of the market price of Old LAC’s shares from $21.99 to $17.01, a decrease in volatility assumption from 58.34% to 49.13%, partially offset by an increase in risk-free rate from 4.77% to 5.68%.

Transaction costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $9.3 million from $Nil in the prior year to date period due to transaction costs associated with the Separation and completion of the General Motors warrant agreement which both occurred in 2023. Loss on change in fair value of investment in Green Technology Metals for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to $3.9 million from $3.5 million in the prior year

Lower net loss of $0.2 million in Q3 2023 compared with $12.1 million in Q3 2022 is primarily attributable to:

• a decrease in exploration expenditures related to commencement of construction of Thacker Pass and capitalization of majority of the project costs starting February 1, 2023.

Lower net loss was partially offset by:

• gain on change in fair value of the derivative liability with respect GM Tranche 2 Agreements of $4.7 million driven primarily by a decrease in market value of Old LAC’s shares and volatility assumptions for Q3 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

The Company continues to advance its formal application under the ATVM Loan Program submitted in April 2022 to the DOE for partial funding of Thacker Pass development. Further to the Letter of Substantial Completion received from the DOE, the Company is proceeding with the confirmatory due diligence and term sheet negotiations process. The ATVM Loan Program is designed to provide funding to U.S. companies engaged in the manufacturing of advanced technologies vehicles and components used in those vehicles. If the Company is offered a loan by the DOE, it expects funding from the ATVM Loan Program to provide up to 75% of Thacker Pass capital costs for construction of Phase 1. DOE’s invitation to enter into due diligence is not an assurance that DOE will offer a term sheet to the applicant, or that the terms and conditions of a term sheet will be consistent with terms proposed by the applicant. The foregoing matters are wholly dependent on the results of DOE advanced due diligence and DOE’s determination whether to proceed.

The Company expects the GM Tranche 1 Investment and other sources of financing to provide sufficient financial resources to fund the development of Thacker Pass, general and administrative and other expenditures for at least the next eighteen to twenty-four months.

The Company continues to develop its projects and does not generate revenues from operations. The Company’s capital resources are driven by the status of its projects, and its ability to compete for investor support of its projects.

Over the long-term, the Company expects to meet its obligations and fund the development of Thacker Pass through its financing plans described above; however, due to the conditions associated with such financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete all of its contemplated financing plans. Except as disclosed, the Company does not know of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, its liquidity and capital resources either materially increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future. The Company does not engage in currency hedging to offset any risk of currency fluctuations.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $33.8 million (2022 – $38.5 million). The significant components of operating activities are discussed in the Results of Operations section above.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $115.7 million (2022 – $19.9 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company spent $115.4 million on additions to Property, Plant and Equipment, including construction costs related to Thacker Pass.

Financing Activities

Funding from the Parent

Prior to the Separation, the Company was funded via a loan from Old LAC (recorded within liabilities) or capital contributions (recorded within Net parent investment in equity). The Net parent investment represented Old LAC’s interest in the recorded net assets and the cumulative net equity investment in Old LAC through the dates presented. The Net parent investment from the Old LAC during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $46.2 million (2022 – $59.9 million). On October 3, 2023, Old LAC contributed to the Company a transfer of cash resulting in a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $276 million at New LAC upon Separation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

All of the Company’s financial instruments are classified into financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost, other than the shares acquired as part of the investment in Green Technology Metals and Ascend Elements, and the GM Tranche 2 Agreements derivative liability which are carried at fair value. All financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of items measured at amortized cost, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability.

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if they are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows solely represent payments of principal and interest. The Company’s intent is to hold these financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows. The contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For additional details about the Company’s financial instruments please refer to the Note 15 of Q3 2023 financial statements.

DECOMMISSIONING PROVISION AND RECLAMATION BOND

The carrying value of the liability for decommissioning that arose to date as a result of exploration activities at Thacker Pass as at September 30, 2023 is $0.6 million. LAC North America has a $1.7 million reclamation bond payable to the BLM guaranteed by a third-party insurance company. The current approved reclamation cost estimate for the October 15, 2021 Thacker Pass plan of operations is $47.6 million. Financial assurance of $13.7 million was placed with the agency in February 2023 prior to initiating construction with the remaining amount to be placed as construction activities progress.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY AND ACCOUNTING POLICY JUDGMENTS

Please refer to the Company’s annual carve-out financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, for Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements disclosure and Accounting Policies disclosure. The nature and amount of significant estimates and judgements made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty as well as accounting policies applied during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were substantially the same as those that management applied to the annual carve-out financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022, other than as described below.

Accounting for the Agreements with General Motors

The Company’s accounting for the agreements with GM, involved judgment, specifically in the Company’s assumption that in the Company’s determination the Offtake Agreement represents an agreement with market selling prices; and that the Offtake is separate from the equity financing provided by GM.

The fair value of the warrant and subscription agreements with GM involved estimation, which was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation that required significant assumptions, including expected volatility of Old LAC’s share price.

Commencement of Development of Thacker Pass

The Company determined that the technical feasibility and commercial viability of Thacker Pass had been demonstrated following the release of the Thacker Pass Feasibility Study on January 31, 2023, the receipt of the favorable ruling from the Federal Court for the issuance of the ROD, and the receipt of notice to proceed from BLM on February 7, 2023. The Company entered into an EPCM agreement and other construction-related contracts. Construction of Thacker Pass, including site preparation, geotechnical drilling, water pipeline development and associated infrastructure has commenced. Accordingly, the Company transferred the capitalized costs of Thacker Pass from exploration and evaluation assets to property, plant and equipment and began to capitalize development costs starting February 1, 2023.

Concurrent with the transfer of the Thacker Pass assets from exploration and evaluation to property, plant and equipment, management completed an impairment test of Thacker Pass which compared the carrying value to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the value in use and the fair value less disposal costs. The fair value less disposal costs was calculated using a discounted cash flow model with feasibility study economics. The significant assumptions that impacted the fair value included future lithium prices, capital cost estimates, operating cost estimates, estimated mineral reserves and resources, and the discount rate. Based on the result of the impairment test, management concluded that there was no impairment.

NEW IFRS PRONOUNCEMENTS

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements titled Non-current Liabilities with Covenants. These amendments sought to improve the information that an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within 12 months after the reporting

16

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

(Expressed in US dollars, unless stated otherwise)

period. These amendments to IAS 1 override but incorporate the previous amendments, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, issued in January 2020, which clarified that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities should be classified as non-current if a company has a substantive right to defer settlement for at least 12 months at the end of the reporting period. The amendments are effective January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required on adoption. We do not expect these amendments to have a material effect on Q3 2023 carve-out financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and the IFRS Practice Statement 2: Making Materiality Judgements to provide guidance on the application of materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose significant accounting policies with a requirement to disclose material accounting policies. Guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgments about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments are effective January 1, 2023. Prospective application is required on adoption. These amendments did not impact the Q3 2023 carve-out financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform Pillar Two Model Rules

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12, International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules to clarify the application of IAS 12 Income Taxes to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar Two model rules (Pillar Two income taxes). The amendments introduce a mandatory temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules and disclosure requirements for the entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.

The mandatory temporary exception, the use of which is required to be disclosed, applies immediately. The remaining disclosure requirements apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, but not for any interim periods ending on or before December 31, 2023. These amendments did not impact the Q3 2023 carve-out financial statements.

The scientific and technical information in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Rene LeBlanc, a “Qualified Person” for purposes of NI 43-101 and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K by virtue of his experience, education, and professional association.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RATIOS

The Company’s Q3 2023 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. This MD&A refers to non-GAAP financial measures “working capital” and expected average annual “EBITDA” with respect to the results of the feasibility study for the Thacker Pass project, which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS or by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.

These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

“Working capital” is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. It is a financial measure that has been derived from the Company’s financial statements and applied on a consistent basis as appropriate. The Company discloses this financial measure because it believes it assists readers in understanding the results of the Company’s operations and financial position and provides further information about the Company’s financial results to investors.

“EBITDA” is an abbreviation for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes this measure provides investors with an improved ability to evaluate the prospects of the Company and, in particular, its Thacker Pass project. As the Thacker Pass project is not in production, this prospective non-GAAP financial measure may not be reconciled to the nearest comparable measure under IFRS and the equivalent historical non-GAAP financial measure for the prospective non-GAAP measure or ratio discussed herein is nil$.

These measures should not be considered in isolation or used in substitution for other measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation, and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable United States securities legislation (collectively referred to as “forward-looking information” (“FLI”)). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are FLI and can be identified by the use of statements that include, but are not limited to, words, such as “anticipate,” “plan,”

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCORPORATION ON JANUARY 23, 2023 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On January 23, 2023, 1397468 B.C. Ltd. (“New LAC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) for the sole purpose of acquiring ownership of the North American business assets and investments (“LAC North America”) of Lithium Americas Corp. (“Old LAC”), which is now named Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp., pursuant to a separation transaction on October 3, 2023 (the “Separation”). Upon consummation of the Separation on October 3, 2023, New LAC was re-named Lithium Americas Corp.

The Separation was implemented by way of a plan of arrangement (“Plan of Arrangement”) under the laws of British Columbia pursuant to an arrangement agreement between the Company and Old LAC. As part of the Separation, Old LAC contributed to New LAC, among other assets and liabilities, its interest in the Thacker Pass project (“Thacker Pass”), its investment in Green Technology Metals and Ascend Elements, certain intellectual property rights, its receivable or loan to 1339480 B.C. Ltd., and cash of $275.5 million including $75 million to establish sufficient working capital. New LAC then distributed its common shares to shareholders of Old LAC in a series of share exchanges. The Separation was pro rata to the shareholders of Old LAC, so that the holders maintained the same proportionate interest in Old LAC and New LAC both immediately before and immediately after the Separation.

Upon consummation of the Separation on October 3, 2023, the common shares of New LAC were listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These financial statements are prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of US dollars)

4. SHARE CAPITAL

Upon New LAC’s incorporation on January 23, 2023, New LAC’s authorized share capital was comprised of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of preference shares without par value (“Preference Shares”). There were no shares of any class issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

On October 3, 2023, as part of the Arrangement, among other things: (i) each Old LAC shareholder exchanged their Old LAC common shares for Old LAC class A common shares and Old LAC preference shares; (ii) each Old LAC shareholder then transferred its Old LAC preference shares to New LAC in exchange for Common Shares; (iii) 1,000,000 Preference Shares were issued to Old LAC in exchange for the North American business assets contributed; (vi) all Preference Shares issued to Old LAC were redeemed by New LAC in consideration for an aggregate redemption amount, after which all such Preference Shares were cancelled; and (iii) the notice of articles and articles of New LAC (“Articles”) were amended to, among other things, eliminate the Preference Shares from the authorized share capital of New LAC such that, following such amendment, New LAC is authorized to issue only an unlimited number of Common Shares.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 3, 2023, the Separation was implemented pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement which included the transfer of $75 million in cash by Old LAC to New LAC to establish sufficient working capital for New LAC. Upon Separation, each shareholder of Old LAC was granted one common share of Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and one common share of New LAC in exchange for each Old LAC share, resulting in two independent publicly traded companies. Holders of Old LAC’s restricted share units, performance share units and deferred share units have received one similar instrument in each of Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and New LAC, subject to certain conditions. On October 3, 2023, New LAC had 160,047,671 common shares issued and outstanding, and 2,171,285 restricted share units and 1,036,775 deferred share units were issued in connection with the Plan of the Arrangement.

At the start of trading on October 4, 2023, Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. and New LAC commenced trading on the TSX and NYSE on a regular-way basis under the ticker symbols “LAAC” and “LAC,” respectively.

Lithium Americas Provides Thacker Pass Update

with Q3 2023 Carve-Out Financials and MD&A

November 9, 2023 – Vancouver, Canada: Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC) (“Lithium Americas” or the “Company”) filed carve-out interim financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) (unaudited) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (“Q3 2023”), and provides a project update on the Thacker Pass lithium project in Humboldt Country, Nevada (“Thacker Pass” or the “Project”).

HIGHLIGHTS

Thacker Pass

• Major earthworks and detailed engineering continue to advance in preparation for major construction to commence in 2024.

• The Company acquired repurposed temporary housing and kitchen facilities for the workforce hub, to provide housing for construction workers in the town of Winnemucca. The units are being shipped and delivered to the site in preparation for peak construction. Earthworks to prepare the workforce hub facility in Winnemucca are ongoing and progressing well.

• The Company continues to work closely with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office to advance confirmatory due diligence and term sheet negotiations for the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (“ATVM Loan Program”), following the receipt of a Letter of Substantial Completion on February 22, 2023.

• The Company expects the DOE ATVM Loan Program conditional approval process to be completed in late-2023-early-2024, and if approved, to fund up to 75% of capital costs for construction of Phase 1. Development costs incurred by the project may qualify as eligible costs under the ATVM Loan Program as of January 31, 2023.

• The construction budget for the second half of 2023 is $145 million (cash based), of which $51.1 million was spent in Q3 2023 primarily on advancing engineering, earthworks and the workforce hub.

• The Department of Economics at the University of Nevada, Reno completed an Economic Impact Assessment of Thacker Pass, Phase 1 and 2 construction and operations over the 40-year life of mine for Humboldt Country and the State of Nevada, based on the Thacker Pass Feasibility Study, effective November 2, 2022. Based on this assessment:

• Thacker Pass is expected to generate over 1,500 construction jobs.

• In Humboldt County, Phase 1 and 2 construction activities are estimated to generate approximately $725 million of economic activity annually, and operations after project completion are estimated to generate economic impact of approximately $2 billion annually.

• In the State of Nevada, it is expected that every $1 the Company invests on Phase 1 and 2 capital construction will generate an additional $0.76 of spending, and that every direct job created during construction will generate an additional six jobs.

1

Corporate

• As at October 3, 2023, the Company had approximately $275.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

• The maximum price for General Motors (“GM”) second tranche investment equal to an aggregate purchase price of $330 million (“Tranche 2”) was adjusted post-Separation. GM is expected to invest Tranche 2 following the Company securing sufficient available capital to fund the development of Thacker Pass Phase 1 (the “Funding Condition”). The number of shares is to be determined using a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) the 5-day volume weighted average share price (which is determined as of the date the notice that the Funding Condition has been met) and (b) $17.36 per share, as adjusted for Separation.

CARVE-OUT FINANCIALS

On October 3, 2023, the former Lithium Americas Corp., which is now named Lithium Americas (Argentina) Corp. (TSX: LAAC) (NYSE: LAAC) (“Old LAC”) and Lithium Americas Corp. (“New LAC,” “Lithium Americas” or the “Company”) (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC), completed by way of statutory plan of arrangement a separation (the “Separation”).

The MD&A of New LAC, prepared as of November 8, 2023, should be read in conjunction with New LAC’s unaudited condensed consolidated carve-out interim financial statements and the notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (“Q3 2023 financial statements”), and Old LAC’s North American audited carve-out financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 annual financial statements”). The Q3 2023 financial statements are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, as well as the website at https://lithiumamericas.com/investor/filings-and-reports/default.aspx.
