Arverne Group: First Geothermal Drilling for Lithium de France
Arverne Group (ISIN code : FR001400JWR8, mnemonic code ARVEN), announces the start of geothermal drilling operations in Schwabwiller, carried out by its subsidiary Lithium de France, in order to produce both renewable heat and lithium.
This launch is a major milestone in the Group's development, made possible after obtaining the environmental authorization and a building permit.
The initial work on site involves civil engineering operations. Geothermal well drilling will begin after the summer. It will be pursued, once the necessary authorizations have been obtained, by the construction of the heat powerplant, and the installation of the demonstration plant to assess both lithium resources and the performance of the innovative Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology.
Information and updates on the operations will be shared throughout the project with the various local stakeholders.
Pierre Brossollet, Founder and CEO of Arverne Group : 'These initial works bring our ambition to life: making geothermal energy a tangible solution to the major challenges of decarbonization. They also represent a big step toward more energy sovereignty for our country.'
Next event: June 18, 2025, Combined General Meeting

CORRECTING and REPLACING SAIF Partners: Now is Your Last Chance to Vote for Board Change at Sinovac
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Third paragraph, second sentence of release should read: These include the current Board's failure to actively engage with management, its lack of sound financial reasoning for its proposed dividend figures, its apparent unwillingness to hire a new independent auditor after it drove Sinovac's prior public accounting firm to resign in April, and its poor governance practices. The updated release reads: SAIF PARTNERS: NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO VOTE FOR BOARD CHANGE AT SINOVAC Sinovac's Special Meeting of Shareholders is Just Days Away; Your Vote Matters No Matter How Many Shares You Own SAIF Partners Urges Shareholders to Vote the GOLD Proxy Card ' FOR ' its Director Candidates to End Years of Chaos, Restore Credibility and Unlock Long-Term Value for All Sinovac Shareholders SAIF Partners IV L.P., ('SAIF Partners', 'we' or 'us'), the largest single investor in Sinovac Biotech Ltd. ('Sinovac' or the 'Company') which beneficially owns approximately 15% of the Company's outstanding common shares, today urged shareholders to immediately vote ' FOR ' the election of SAIF Partners' ten highly qualified director candidates to the Company's Board of Directors (the 'Board') using the GOLD proxy card. Sinovac's Special Meeting of Shareholders (the 'Special Meeting') – scheduled for Tuesday, July 8 at 8:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time (Wednesday, July 9 at 8:00 a.m. China Standard Time) – is just days away, and time is running out to cast your vote for change. SAIF Partners firmly believes that Sinovac's current Board – the majority of whose members were not duly elected by shareholders or sanctioned by the Privy Council – does not act in the interests of all shareholders, and in fact only began to do so when it was publicly pressured. Further, we believe the current Board lacks integrity, industry experience, management expertise, and respect for the law necessary to fulfill its lofty promises to shareholders. As such, we do not believe the current Board has the capability to resolve the Company's most pressing issues, including concluding its numerous lawsuits and ending the six-year suspension of the trading of Sinovac's common shares in the public markets. Most importantly, however, we are highly skeptical of the current Board's ability to follow through on its plan to issue significant dividends to shareholders for several concerning reasons. These include the current Board's failure to actively engage with management, its lack of sound financial reasoning for its proposed dividend figures, its apparent unwillingness to hire a new independent auditor after it drove Sinovac's prior public accounting firm to resign in April, and its poor governance practices. These issues, among others, lead us to believe that the current Board has put forth its massive dividend distribution plan simply to win shareholders' support and retain their positions, even though it lacks the capabilities to follow through on its stated promise. Ultimately, we believe that meaningful change is urgently needed on Sinovac's Board to restore the Company's credibility with investors and regulators and unlock the tremendous long-term value embedded within Sinovac for all shareholders. If elected, our nominees will work closely with management to deliver shareholders the long-overdue dividends they deserve and establish a long-term business strategy that will maximize the value of the Company for all shareholders. Now is Your Chance to Elect a Board that Will Act in the Best Interest of ALL Sinovac Shareholders Vote the GOLD Proxy Card Today 'FOR' Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 to Remove Sinovac's Current Board and Elect SAIF Partners' Highly Qualified Director Candidates VISIT TO CAST YOUR VOTE USING YOUR UNIQUE CONTROL NUMBER LOCATED ON YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD.
