Power Metal Resources plc ("Power Metal" or the "Company")
Extension of Insider Options
Power Metal Resources plc (LON:POW) the London listed
exploration company seeking large-scale metal discoveries across
its global project portfolio announces an extension of insider
options.
On 15 February 2019 Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of the
Company was awarded 13,613,929 options to subscribe for new
ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company at an exercise
price of 1.0p ("Director Options"). The Director Options had an
original expiry date of 15 February 2022, which was subsequently
extended to 15 May 2022.
Paul Johnson is unable to exercise the Director Options as a
result of being in a close period due to finalisation of the
Company's interim financial statements for the half year ended 31
March 2022 and due to possession of inside information in relation
to the Company's exploration and corporate work activities.
Under the Director Option agreement clause 3.5 states:
"In the event the Option Holder is in possession of relevant
price sensitive information or is restricted from dealing pursuant
to the provisions of the Market Abuse Regulations or by any other
share dealing code, applicable law or regulation and is thereby
precluded from exercising the Options or any part thereof
immediately prior to the Final Exercise Date, then the Final
Exercise Date shall be deemed to be extended until the date which
falls 10 business days after the later of the date on which the
Option Holder ceases to be an insider or the date on which the
close period or other prohibited period ends or is otherwise no
longer prohibited."
The Director Options will be automatically extended under clause
3.5 as outlined above.
Recognising the Company's level of operational activity and
anticipated news flow it is considered unlikely that the Director
Options will be freely exercisable for some time and therefore the
Company has agreed that the Director Options may be exercised up to
31 December 2022. All other terms of the Director Options remain
unchanged.
Related Party Note
The extension of the Director Options held by Paul Johnson as
outlined above, has been treated as a related party transaction
pursuant to AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
Scott Richardson Brown and Edmund Shaw, being the independent
Directors for the purposes of the extension of the expiry date of
the Director Options held by Paul Johnson consider, having
consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel, that the
extension of the expiry date to 31 December 2022 of the Director
Options held by Paul Johnson to be 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.
