Electra inks five-year cobalt financing pact with WMC to bolster refinery cash flow

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
A binding financing arrangement that reduces working-capital pressure can enhance cash flow visibility, support cobalt sourcing and sales, and potentially improve EBITDA/FCF perception. As with any term sheet, the absence of binding terms creates execution risk; a close on favorable terms would likely drive a positive, though potentially modest, price move.
