Graphite One announces Scott Packman to its Board of Directors

VANCOUVER — Graphite One Inc. announces the appointment of Mr. Scott Packman to the Company’s Board of Directors.

Prior to joining the Graphite One Board of Directors, Mr. Packman served as General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. He also served as the General Counsel of MGM Holdings Inc., the owner of the iconic MGM movie and television studio. Mr. Packman is currently the Managing Member of SSP Partners, which identifies, evaluates, and advises on strategic transactions for financiers.

Mr. Packman graduated from the New York University School of Law and was admitted to the California, Florida, and New York state bars. He also holds an M.B.A. from the University of Texas.

“Scott is highly regarded as a corporate strategist, successful operator, trusted advisor and as a pre-eminent negotiator and attorney. His addition to our Board of Directors is evidence of Graphite One’s focus on enhancing and broadening the skillset of its Board of Directors,” said Anthony Huston, CEO of Graphite One. “His deep experience counseling public and private companies in fast-moving transactions will prove invaluable. Graphite One isn’t just planning to develop a graphite source, we’re planning a complete advanced material supply chain. We expect to find Scott’s business acumen a huge benefit to Graphite One as we advance each link in the Graphite One supply chain.”

Recently, U.S. President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Protection Act for battery materials, including graphite, and signed into law the bipartisan infrastructure bill allocating more than $6 billion for domestic supply chain and critical mineral development.

“I’m delighted to join the Board of Graphite One at this time of tremendous change,” Mr. Packman said, “not only in terms of how technology is transforming so many key elements of our lives, from energy to communications, medical and defense technologies – but also at a time when stakeholders are focused on socially responsible resource development, advanced manufacturing to meet our future technology needs, and recycling programs to create a full circle economy out of the resources that are extracted to minimize environmental impact.”

The appointment of Mr. Packman will expand the Company’s board of directors from four to five members.
