2.1 Background

The Company is required to include in its Directors' Report a detailed Remuneration Report relating to remuneration received by the Company's Key Management Personnel.

Sections 249L(2) and 250R(2) of the Corporations Act require that a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted be put to a vote of Shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting. The vote on this Resolution is advisory to the Company only, and does not bind the Board.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

The Jejevo Project is an advanced state direct shipping ore nickel laterite project.

The Company owns 100% of the share capital in Pacific Nickel Mines International Pty Ltd (PNI). PNI holds 100% of the share capital in Pacific Nickel Mines (SI) Limited, a company incorporated in the Solomon Islands (PNMSI). PNMSI holds 80% of the share capital in:

(a) Pacific Nickel Mines Kolosori Ltd (PNMK), a company incorporated in the Solomon Islands, that owns and operates the Kolosori Project; and

4.2 Proposed Disposal

On 4 November 2025, the Company announced that PNI had entered into a conditional share sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with the Buyer and Guarantor, pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase, and PNI agreed to sell, 100% of PNI’s shares in PNMSI (Disposal).

As part of the Disposal, PNM and PNI have entered into a deed of release with Glencore International AG (Glencore), the financier of the Kolosori Project, releasing PNM from any liability under the Secured Facility Agreement with Glencore (Glencore Deed of Release). PNM currently guarantees US$22 million plus interest of approximately US$8.6 borrowed by the PNMSI Group under the Secured Facility Agreement. Details of the Glencore Secured Facility Agreement have been disclosed in previous ASX announcements (for example see Major Milestone, Glencore Execute Kolosori Finance Agreement dated 19 April 2023). The Glencore Deed of Release will take effect on completion under the SPA. Entry into the Glencore Deed of Release is also a condition precedent to completion under the SPA. A summary of the key terms of the Glencore Deed of Release is set out in Schedule 2.

PNI has also entered into a royalty agreement with the Buyer (Royalty Agreement) to pay PNI a royalty based on ore shipped from the Kolosori Nickel Project provided certain royalty conditions are met. A summary of the key terms of the Royalty Agreement is set out in Schedule 3.

(a) PNI proposes to sell 100% of the shares in PNMSI to the Buyer;
(b) PNMSI holds 80% of the shares in PNMK and PNMV. The other 20% of the shares in PNMK and PNMV are held by local landowners, and as far as


PNM is aware, those persons will retain their shareholdings in these companies;

(c) the SPA includes the following key terms:

(i) the Purchase Price is $1;

(ii) the Buyer will grant PNI a royalty pursuant to a separate Royalty Agreement.

4.4 Financial Effect, Advantages and Disadvantages of the Disposal

4.4.1 Financial effect

The pro-forma statement of the financial position of the Company showing the financial effect of the Disposal is set out at Schedule 4.

The Disposal will:

(a) not impact the capital structure of the Company;
(b) not have a dilutive effect on the Shareholders; and
(c) not result in any changes to the Board or the Company's name.

The Company notes that the Purchase Price for the Disposal is $1.00.

Shareholders will not be impacted by this Disposal, other than to the extent of the Company's divestment of the Company's interest in the Kolosori Project and the Jejevo Project. The Company is in active discussions in relation to new business opportunities in the mining and exploration industry. The Company also notes that, prior to acquiring its interest in the Kolosori Project and the Jejevo Project, it has been involved in the mining and exploration industry for several years.

The Company notes that its only substantial assets after completion of the Disposal, other than cash, will be:


(a) the royalty granted by the Buyer pursuant to the Royalty Agreement;
(b) a pre-existing 2% net smelter return on gold produced from future underground operations at the Lorena Gold Project near Cloncurry, Queensland; and
(c) a 1% net smelter return on all metals produced from the Conrad Project.

4.4.2 Advantages

The Directors consider that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Disposal:

(a) the Company will be released from all guarantees given by the Company in relation to the outstanding debt of US$22 million and accrued interest of approximately US$8.6 million owing to Glencore under the Secured Facility Agreement;
(b) the Disposal will enable the Company to consider alternative asset acquisitions that the Directors believe will add value to Shareholders;
(c) the Company will be entitled to receive the Royalty Amount from the Buyer, and will not be required to make any capital contribution to the development of the Kolosori Project; and
(d) the capital structure of the Company will not be affected by the Disposal.

4.4.3 Disadvantages

The Directors believe that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Disposal:

(a) the consequence of the Disposal is that the Company will sell its main undertaking and will then be required to satisfy ASX that the Company complies with Chapter 12 of the ASX Listing Rules before its Shares can be reinstated to trading. Subject to the Company's further consultation with ASX in respect of any asset acquisitions, there may be significant re-compliance costs associated with the acquisition of new assets if ASX determines that such acquisitions require full re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules;
(b) there is a risk that the Company may not be able to locate and acquire other suitable investment opportunities, in which case the Company would look at the most appropriate method of returning the Company's available cash to Shareholders at that point in time;
(c) the Company will be disposing of its main undertaking in the Kolosori Project and Jejevo Project, which may not be consistent with the investment objectives of all Shareholders; and
(d) the Disposal will not result in a capital return to Shareholders as the Purchase Price is $1.00 and involves the discharge of the debt and guarantee provided to Glencore.


14

4.4.4 Other

As previously announced by the Company, after a thorough review of the Kolosori operation, the Company, in consultation with Glencore, agreed that the best course of action in the short term was to cease operations and review the project in light of the operational issues and the weak nickel price outlook in the short to medium term.

4.5 Company's Intentions Post-Completion

4.5.1 Direction and business model

Following the Completion of the Disposal, the Company will continue to assess and identify new investment or acquisition proposals that the Board considers will have the potential to add value to Shareholders.

4.5.2 Group structure

Following the Disposal, the corporate structure of the Company will be such that the Company (as parent entity) will hold 100% of the issued share capital of its subsidiary PNI, and the Exiting Companies, and PNI will no longer hold any interest in the PNMSI Group.

4.5.3 Proposed changes to the Company's board and management

There will be no changes to the Company's Board nor to senior management personnel of the Company as a result of the Disposal.

4.5.4 Effect on capital structure

The Disposal will have no effect on the capital structure of the Company.

4.6 Indicative timetable

Subject to the Listing Rules and Corporations Act requirements, the Company anticipates Completion of the Disposal will occur in accordance with the following timetable:

Event Date*
Execution of SPA. 3 November 2025
Issue of Meeting Documents and despatch to PNM shareholders. 28 April 2026
Meeting to approve the Disposal for the purposes of Listing Rule 11.2. 27 May 2026
Expected satisfaction of conditions under the SPA. 27 May 2026
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions, Completion of the Disposal 1 June 2026
  • Please note this timetable is indicative only and the Directors reserve the right to amend the timetable as required.

15

4.7 Listing Rule 11.2

Listing Rule 11.2 requires a listed company to obtain the approval of its shareholders to a disposal of its main undertaking. The Disposal is a disposal of the Company's main undertaking for these purposes.

Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Disposal on the terms of the SPA under, and for the purposes of, Listing Rule 11.2.

All items required to be disclosed to Shareholders to obtain approval under Listing Rule 11.2 are set out in this Notice. The Directors are not aware of any other commercial information that is material to the question of whether Shareholders should approve Resolution 3.

For the reasons set out above, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

The Buyer is not a related party of the Company, and Shareholder approval for the Disposal is not required for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.1.

4.8 Listing Rule 14.1A

If Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Disposal to the Buyer, following which, the Company will look to review and identify new investment and acquisition opportunities which the Directors believe have the potential to create value for Shareholders.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Disposal to the Buyer and the SPA would be terminated. This may result in the Company being unable to address the capital requirements of the Kolosori Project and Jejevo Project and may result in the Company seeking alternative means to finance working capital requirements for the Kolosori Project and Jejevo Project operations. There would be a risk that certain debt obligations such as the debt arising from the Secured Facility Agreement would become immediately due and payable which the Company is currently unable to meet.

4.9 Listing Rules 12.1 and 12.2

A disposal by a listed entity of its main undertaking can raise issues under Listing Rule 12.1 and 12.2, which oblige a listed entity to satisfy ASX on an ongoing basis that the level of its operations is sufficient, and its financial condition adequate, to warrant its continued quotation ASX of its securities.

ASX has advised PNM that it is not in compliance with Listing Rule 12.1 and 12.2 and that it will remain suspended, as disclosed in ASX's announcement titled 'Continuation of Suspension from Quotation' dated 23 June 2025.

The consequences of a disposal of the main undertaking are that any transaction the Company proposes to enter into may, if required by ASX, attract the application of Listing Rule 11.1.3 and as a result the Company may, if required by ASX, be required to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules.


Please refer to ASX Guidance Note 12: Significant Change to Activities which provides further information on significant changes to activities and how the Listing Rules apply to those changes.

4.10 Directors' Interests and Recommendations

None of the Directors have a material interest in the outcome of Resolution 3 other than as a result of their interest, if any, arising solely in the capacity as Shareholders.

The Directors have a relevant interest in the securities of the Company as set out in the following table:

Directors Shares Other securities
Terry Cuthbertson 15,638,061 Nil
Robert Thomson 8,553,850 Nil
Gary Stewart 110,000 Nil

Each of the Directors intends to vote all of their Shares in favour of Resolution 3.

Based on the information available, the Directors consider that the proposed Disposal is in the best interests of the Company and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. ENQUIRIES

Shareholders are advised to contact Mr. Gary Stewart at [email protected] if they have any queries in respect of the matter set out in the Notice or Explanatory Statement.
