ASX RELEASE 15 July 2020 ASX:PNN
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders
The Board of PepinNini Lithium Limited (PepinNini, the Company) wish to announce that an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of PepinNini will be held on Tuesday 18th August 2020 at 96 Babbage Road Roseville Chase, NSW at 2:30pm, Sydney time.
The Notice of Meeting is included in this announcement and is available for download from www.pepinnini.com.au . Shareholders are advised to read the complete notice to understand the resolutions proposed, the reasons for the proposed resolutions and your Directors' voting recommendations. ABOUT
There are three resolutions seeking ratification of previous share issues made in February, May and June this year.
A fourth resolution proposes a share consolidation. The Directors believe that a consolidation of capital will reduce costs currently incurred in maintaining a large number of shares on issue and establish a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company. In addition, the consolidation should mitigate large percentage fluctuations in the Company's share price which have been caused by small fraction of a cent price movements.
The fifth resolution is to change the name of the Company back to PepinNini Minerals Ltd, to reflect PepinNini's strategic intent to advance the diverse projects across its portfolio.
This announcement was authorised for issue by the Directors of PepinNini Lithium Ltd

SPECIAL BUSINESS
Background
The Company is a diversified mineral resources exploration company. Its primary objectives are to reward investors by discovering and developing major new Australian mineral deposits, conduct exploration and corporate activities in a responsible and professional manner, define and quantify the considerable mineralisation potential already recognised in the exploration tenements held by the Company, and establish equitable and respectful relationships with the traditional owners of tenement areas held by the Company. The Company holds a highly prospective portfolio focused on the Musgrave Province of South Australia, and a portfolio of tenements in Argentina with potential for lithium brine together with a lithium carbonate (LCE) resource and others with potential for copper gold discovery.
In Australia, the Company currently holds an interest in 14 tenements covering approximately 14,003 square kilometres with potential for the discovery and rapid exploitation of a major new Australian mineral deposit. The Pink Slipper Farm-in Joint Venture Project included in the Australian tenements comprises four exploration licence applications (ELAs) held by Rio Tinto Exploration Pty Ltd (RTX) covering a total area of 615 km2 . PepinNini is earning a 51% interest in this Project, and is the Project operator and manager. Pink Slipper is a highly prospective geophysical target, and is a core exploration focus for the Company, which it plans to drill test once the ELA is granted.
In Argentina, the Company holds 7 mining leases (Mina) comprising 15,708 hectares in the Puna region of the Andes Mountains in Salta Province in north west Argentina prospective for lithium brine held below the surface in dried elevated salt lakes known as salares. The Company plans to blend brines from two projects to create a high value LCE product.

Directors' Recommendation

The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 3.
Resolution 4 – Consolidation of Capital
Background
Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the Company to consolidate its issued share capital on a 100 to 1 basis (Consolidation).
As set out in the table below, if Resolution 4 is passed the number of:
- a) Shares on issue will be reduced from 1,626,651,402 to 16,266,514 (subject to rounding); and
- b) Options on issue will be reduced from 386,687,453 to 3,866,875 (subject to rounding).
Reasons for Consolidation
The Company currently has 1,626,651,402 Shares on issue due to historical equity-based capital raisings and corporate transactions.
For a company of this size, this is a large number of securities to have on issue and it subjects the Company to a number of disadvantages, including:
- a) that the Company has a greater number of Shares on issue than comparable companies, meaning that its share price is lower for reasons other than valuation;
- b) negative perceptions associated with a low share price; and
- c) administrative inconvenience.
The directors believe that the Consolidation would assist in eliminating or mitigating these disadvantages and would establish a more appropriate and effective capital structure for the Company and a share price more appealing to a wider range of investors within Australia and globally.
Legal requirements
Section 254H of the Corporations Act provides that a company may, by resolution passed at a general meeting, convert all or any of its shares into a larger or smaller number.
Listing Rule 7.22 requires that in a consolidation of capital, the number of options on issue must be consolidated in the same ratio as the ordinary capital and the exercise price must be amended in an inverse proportion to that ratio. Each of the Company's options have been issued with a term that provides for this to occur.
Fractional entitlements
Not all shareholders and optionholders will hold that number of Shares or Options (as the case may be) which can be evenly consolidated on a 100 to 1 basis. Where a fractional entitlement occurs, the fraction will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares or Options (as the case may be).
Tax implications for shareholders and optionholders of the Company
It is not considered that any taxation implications will exist for shareholders or optionholders arising from the Consolidation. However, shareholders and optionholders are advised to seek their own tax advice on the effect of the Consolidation and neither the Company nor its advisers, accepts any responsibility for the individual taxation implications arising from the Consolidation.
Holding statements
From the effective date of the Consolidation , expected to be 20 August 2020, all holding statements for Shares and Options will cease to have any effect, except as evidence of entitlement to a certain number of Shares and Options on a post-Consolidation basis. After the Consolidation becomes effective, the Company will arrange for new holding statements for Shares and Options to be issued to holders of those Shares and Options. It is the responsibility of each shareholder and optionholder to check the number of Shares and Options held prior to disposal or exercise (as the case may be).
Effect on capital structure
The effect which the Consolidation will have on the Company's capital structure is set out in the table below.
| Capital Structure | Shares | Options2 |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Consolidation | 1,626,651,402 | 386,687,453 |
| Post-Consolidation – if Resolution 4 is passed1 | 16,266,514 | 3,866,875 |
Notes
1 Subject to rounding.
2 The terms of these Options are set out below.
Shares
If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders, the number of Shares on issue will be reduced from approximately 1.6 billion to 16 million.
As the Consolidation applies equally to all of the Company's shareholders, individual shareholdings will be reduced in the same ratio as the total number of Shares (subject only to the rounding of fractions). It follows that the Consolidation will have no material effect on the percentage interest of each individual shareholder in the Company.
For example, if a shareholder holds 20,000,000 Shares and the Consolidation is approved and implemented, that shareholder will hold 200,000 Shares following the Consolidation, which would represent the same percentage of Shares the shareholder held in the Company's issued capital pre-Consolidation. Similarly, the aggregate value of each shareholder's holding (and the Company's market capitalisation) should not materially change as a result of the Consolidation other than for minor changes due to rounding (assuming no other market movement or impacts occur). The price per Share should increase in proportion to reflect the reduced number of Shares on issue. However, as this is a market issue no definite forecast can be provided.
Options
If Resolution 4 is approved by shareholders, the number of the Company's Options on issue will be reduced from approximately 386 million to 3.86 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Options and Listing Rule 7.22.1.
As such, the Options will be consolidated in the same ratio as the Consolidation of Shares, being a 100 Option to 1 Option basis, with the exercise price being amended in inverse proportion to that ratio.
For example, an optionholder holding 1,000,000 Options with an exercise price of $0.05 per Option prior to the Consolidation will hold 10,000 Options with an exercise price of $5 per Option following the Consolidation.
The following tables set out the Company's existing Options and the effect the Consolidation will have on the terms of the Options, on a pre-Consolidation and post-Consolidation basis.
| Number of Options | Exercise Price (per Option) | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|
| 7,218,750 Options | $0.027 | 20 September 2020 |
| 4,250,000 Options | $0.04 | 9 November 2020 |

| 20,000,000 Options | $0.005 | 9 March 2023 |

Pre-Consolidation Options
Post-Consolidation Options
| Number of Options | Exercise Price (per Option) | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|
| 72,188 Options | $2.70 | 20 September 2020 |
| 42,500 Options | $4.00 | 9 November 2020 |
| 1,000 Options | $10.00 | 31 January 2021 |
| 10,500 Options | $5.00 | 16 March 2021 |
| 48,000 Options | $3.77 | 11 May 2021 |
| Number of Options | Exercise Price (per Option) | Expiry Date |
|---|---|---|
| 3,000 Options | $7.00 | 16 March 2022 |
| 3,286,687 Options | $0.80 | 30 November 2022 |
| 3,000 Options | $9.00 | 16 March 2023 |
| 200,000 Options | $0.50 | 9 March 2023 |
| 200,000 Options | $0.50 | 22 June 2023 |
The Consolidation will not result in any change in the substantive rights and obligations of the existing optionholders of the Company.

Directors' Recommendation
Each director of the Company recommends that all shareholders should vote in favour of Resolution 4.
The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 5 – Change of company name to PepinNini Minerals Limited
It is proposed that shareholders approve the Company's name being changed from "PepinNini Lithium Limited" to "PepinNini Minerals Limited", the former name of the Company. The change of name back to PepinNini Minerals Limited reflects the diversified nature of the Company. The Company also seeks approval to amend its constitution to reflect the change of name.
The Corporations Act requires a company to obtain the approval of its shareholders by special resolution to adopt a new company name (section 157(1)) and to amend its constitution (section 136(2)). A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Company will lodge an application to change its name with ASIC and the change of name will then take effect from the date that ASIC alters the details of the Company's registration to reflect the Company's new name.
Directors' Recommendation
Each director of the Company recommends that all shareholders should vote in favour of Resolution 5.
The Chairman intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at this Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the shareholder's behalf. If the shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meeting, the shareholder may appoint up to two proxies to attend and vote on the shareholder's behalf.
If a shareholder appoints two proxies, each proxy must be appointed to represent a specified proportion or number of the shareholder's votes. Absent this specification, on a poll, each proxy may exercise half the votes.
A proxy can be either an individual or a body corporate and need not be a shareholder of the Company. If a shareholder appoints a body corporate as proxy, the body corporate will need to appoint an individual as its corporate representative and provide satisfactory evidence of this appointment.
If a shareholder's instruction is to abstain from voting for a particular item of business, the shareholders' votes will not be counted in computing the required majority on a poll.
To appoint a proxy, a proxy form must be signed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney duly authorised in writing. If the shareholder is a corporation, the proxy form must be signed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act. To be effective, a proxy form (and, if it is signed by an attorney, the authority under which it is signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company not later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the Meeting. Proxy form and authorities may be lodged:
