Group 3: Characteristics of Sales Agreements - The strength of certainty in sales agreements is reflected in three aspects: higher coverage ratios, stronger rights, and flexible pricing mechanisms [10][11]. - A recent example includes a binding 10-year sales agreement between Lilac Solutions and Traxys North America for 50,000 tons of lithium carbonate, covering 100% of Lilac's planned capacity [12].
