On April 22, 2022, Todd Hannigan, a member of the Board of
Directors (the “Board”) of Piedmont
Lithium Inc. (the “Company”), informed the
Company of his decision to retire from the Board. Mr.
Hannigan has been a long-term shareholder of Piedmont and joined
the Board in February 2021 to enable the Company to meet the
requirement to have an Australian resident director while the
Company was domiciled in Australia. Given Piedmont’s
redomiciliation to the United States and Mr. Hannigan’s other
substantial business commitments, he has chosen to retire from the
Board effective April 22, 2022. The Company is pleased that
Mr. Hannigan will continue his service to Piedmont by serving as a
Technical Advisor, and he is expected to join our Technical Advisor
Council when it is formally convened later in 2022.
The Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has
developed policies and objectives with respect to the future
evolution of our Board, and additions to the Board are expected in
the coming months.
