This 8-K supplements the merger proxy with previously undisclosed financial projections for the Round Top rare earth project, revealing $794M in annual gross revenue and $397M in unlevered free cash flow starting in 2029. Critically, cash calls are expected to dilute TMRC's ownership to just 4.12% by 2028, which under Roth's analysis implies a net asset value of only $0.07–$1.39 per share. The disclosure also reveals that USAR provided no financial projections and did not obtain a fairness opinion, while Roth had a prior $450K relationship with USAR. These details materially inform the fairness of the merger consideration and the value of TMRC's primary asset.
