NOTES TO EDITORS

Power Metal Resources plc – Background

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) is an AIM listed metals exploration company which finances and manages global resource projects and is seeking large scale metal discoveries.

The Company has a principal focus on opportunities offering district scale potential across a global portfolio including precious, base and strategic metal exploration in North America, Africa and Australia.

Project interests range from early-stage greenfield exploration to later-stage prospects currently subject to drill programmes.

Power Metal will develop projects internally or through strategic joint ventures until a project becomes ready for disposal through outright sale or separate listing on a recognised stock exchange thereby crystallising the value generated from our internal exploration and development work.

Value generated through disposals will be deployed internally to drive the Company’s growth or may be returned to shareholders through share buy backs, dividends or in-specie distributions of assets.

Power Metal Resources #POW Company Option Pool and Proposed Award of Non-executive Director Options

Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) the AIM listed metals exploration and development company is pleased to announce the creation of a Company Option Pool for key team members and, subject to shareholder approval, the proposed award of Non-executive Director Options. 

Company Option Pool 

Power Metal has created a pool of 25 million new options (the “Pool Options”) to acquire new ordinary shares of 0.1p each in the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) at an exercise price of 3.25p per share.  The Pool Options have a 3-year life to expiry from today’s date.

The Pool Options are to be awarded to key members of the Company’s operational teams, who are essential to the forward development and growth of the Company in the months and years ahead.  To be clear, Power Metal directors will not receive options from this Company Option Pool, which is designed to incentivise other non-board team members.

The Pool Options are subject to a share price performance condition and cannot be exercised until the volume weighted average share price (“VWAP”) of the Company has exceeded 5.0p per Ordinary Share for ten consecutive trading days.  All recipients will be subject to performance criteria with regard to the Pool Options including a minimum 6 months’ service from today’s date.

Where possible the Pool Options will be awarded under the Enterprise Management Incentive scheme.

Proposed Award of Non-executive Director Options

In addition to, and separate from the above Company Option Pool, the Company proposes to award options (the “Director Options”) to Non-executive Directors Scott Richardson Brown and Edmund Shaw.  The Director Options will be issued immediately following, and subject to, shareholder approval at the next available General Meeting (“GM”) of the Company. 

The proposal is for both directors to receive 5 million options each to acquire new Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 3.25p per share.  The Options will vest immediately on conclusion of the above GM subject to shareholder approval and have a 3 year life to expiry from today’s date. 

The Director Options are subject to a share price performance condition and cannot be exercised until the volume weighted average share price (“VWAP”) of the Company has exceeded 5.0p per Ordinary Share for ten consecutive trading days.  Both directors must also serve for a further 6 months from today’s date in their roles as Non-executive Directors.

Related Party Transaction

The proposed grant of the Director Options to Scott Richardson-Brown and Edmund Shaw is deemed to constitute a related party transaction pursuant to AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The Directors independent of the proposed grant of the Director Options, being Paul Johnson and Andrew Bell consider, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, that the terms of the Director Options are fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal Resources plc commented:

“I am pleased to announce this proposed award of options to the Company’s Non-executive Directors, as recognition of their ongoing role in the Company and the creation of a Company Option Pool to award key members of the team for their ongoing service.

The demands placed on all the Company’s team members are immense, given the intensity of Company activities, and that situation is likely to persist going forward.

Once again, we have ensured that options awarded include performance conditions aligning option recipients interests with shareholders.  Aside from the premium of the exercise price above the market price (c. 35%) the VWAP performance condition means the share price must increase by at least 108% to 5.0p before the options can be exercised.”

Power Metal Resources #POW – Warrant Update & Extension of Insider Warrants

Power Metal Resources PLC (LON:POW) the AIM listed metals exploration and development company is pleased to provide a warrant update for shareholders.

Update Regarding Exercise of Warrants Expiring February 2021

On 18 February 2019 the Company issued warrants (the “February 2019 Warrants”) as part of the refinancing of the Company as outlined below:

Description

Number of Warrants

Exercise Price

Financing Warrants

200,000,000

1.0p

Advisor Warrants

5,000,000

1.0p

Debt Settlement Warrants

6,000,000

0.5p

All February 2019 Warrants carried a two-year life which ended yesterday on 18 February 2021.

Power Metal can now confirm that, save for the 40 million Financing Warrants held by insiders and connected parties, further details of which are provided below (the “Insider Warrants”), the Company has received valid exercise notices for 100% of all the February 2019 Warrants.

The Company is currently processing exercise notices and will provide an Exercise of Warrants market announcement in the coming days. 

Warrant Exercise Proceeds and Working Capital Summary

In total the exercise of the February 2019 Warrants to date has raised an additional £1.68 million for the Company and in total all warrant exercises in 2020/2021 have raised circa £2.9million. 

This inflow of monies has significantly increased the Company’s working capital, including cash and listed investments, which currently stands at circa £3.28 million.

Extension of Insider Warrants

As at 18 February 2021 the following February 2019 Warrants held by Directors or their related parties  remained outstanding (“Insider Warrants”):

Warrant Holder

N umber of Warrants

Exercise Price

Paul Johnson

10,000,000

1.0p

Andrew Bell

10,000,000

1.0p

Red Rock Resources plc

20,000,000

1.0p

The Insider warrants were issued following participation in the February 2019 Financing.

The Company is currently finalising its audited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2020, which Power Metal expects will be announced to the market in the week commencing 22 February 2021, consequently the Company is in a close period.

In addition the Company is currently managing numerous exploration programmes and corporate activities across its portfolio, including matters pertaining to its Australian gold joint venture, Red Rock Australasia Pty Limited, in which the Company holds a 49.9% interest (with joint venture partner Red Rock Resources plc (LON:RRR) holding 50.1%).

As a result, the February 2019 Warrants held by Paul Johnson (Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal), Andrew Bell (Chairman of Power Metal and Red Rock Resources plc) and those held by Red Rock Resources plc, could not be exercised on the expiry date of 18 February 2021 and may be extended under the warrant instrument, as outlined below.

Under the February 2019 Warrant instrument clause 2.3 provides that should any February 2019 Warrant holder be in the possession of price sensitive information and be thereby precluded from exercising warrant subscription rights, the exercise period shall be extended until 20 business days following the date on which the Warrant holder ceases to be an insider.

Given the level of ongoing operational activity there is a material likelihood that the receipt of price sensitive information could frequently restrict the ability of Paul Johnson, Andrew Bell and Red Rock Resources plc to exercise the February 2019 warrants.

Reflecting the above the Company has extended the Insider Warrants expiry date by three months to a new expiry date of 18 May 2021. 

RELATED PARTY NOTE

The extension of the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson, Andrew Bell and Red Rock Resources Plc as outlined above, have been treated as a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13.  

Scott Richardson Brown and Edmund Shaw, being the independent Directors for the purposes of the extension of the expiry date of the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson and Andrew Bell and Red Rock Resources Plc consider, having consulted with the Company’s nominated adviser, SP Angel, that the extension of the warrant expiry date to 18 May 2021 to such related parties is fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“MAR”), and is disclosed in accordance with the Company’s obligations under Article 17 of MAR.
