Lithium Americas Corp. ( (TSE:LAC) ) has shared an update.
On August 13, 2026, Lithium Americas Corp. closed the initial tranche of a subordinated convertible debenture financing under an August 5, 2026 securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, Ltd., issuing $150 million of debentures with up to $25 million more available in later closings. The five-year notes carry a base 5% coupon with potential step-ups tied to stock price and registration triggers, and can be converted at the lower of a fixed $4.56 price or a VWAP-based formula, subject to a floor and NYSE and TSX exchange caps on share issuance.
Proceeds are earmarked for general corporate purposes, including project overhead, capex, debt repayment and working capital, but cash principal and interest payments are constrained by covenants linked to existing Orion convertible notes and must largely be funded from equity raises or joint venture distributions. The deal includes investor-friendly protections such as change-of-control put rights, redemption and conversion mechanics, registration rights for resale of the underlying shares, and restrictions on additional indebtedness, variable-rate transactions and equity line use, shaping the company’s near-term capital structure and shareholder dilution profile.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LAC) stock is a Hold
with a C$4.50 price target.

Spark’s Take on LAC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LAC is a Underperform.
The score is primarily weighed down by very weak fundamentals—no revenue, large ongoing losses, and substantial negative operating and free cash flow—paired with a sharp increase in debt that raises financing risk. Technicals also remain bearish with price below key moving averages and negative MACD, despite oversold readings. Valuation provides limited support due to the negative P/E and no dividend yield data.
