Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
Explanatory Statement
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company.
The directors recommend shareholders read this Explanatory Statement in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions. The directors also recommend shareholders read the instructions on the proxy form in full if they intend to vote by proxy.
SPECIAL BUSINESS
Resolution 1 – Ratification of prior issue – Placement of shares to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors
On 24 December 2021, the Company issued 9,736,843 fully paid ordinary shares in total at an issue price of $0.38 per share to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors to raise $3,700,000.34. Those shares were issued by the Company without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
Resolution 1 seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the 9,736,843 shares by the Company without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without shareholder approval, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any relevant period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period immediately preceding the issue. ASX Listing Rule 7.1A allows an entity to obtain shareholder approval to increase the 15% limit on the issue of equity securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by another 10%, to a total of 25% of equity securities. The Company obtained shareholder approval for the additional 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A at the annual general meeting held on 25 November 2021.
The issue does not fit within any exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the issue.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
If this Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the shares by the Company will not count towards the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of shares by the Company will be included in calculating the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without shareholder approval.
Specific Information Required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the issue of shares:
- (a) the shares were issued to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors identified by GBA Captial Pty Ltd for whom disclosure was not required in accordance with Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act );
1063093163v1

==> picture [142 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
-
(b) 9,736,843 fully paid ordinary shares were issued;
-
(c) the shares issued were fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company that rank equally with, and have the same rights as, the existing fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on issue;
-
(d) the shares were issued on 24 December 2021;
-
(e) the issue price was $0.38 per share; and
-
(f) the purpose of the issue was to raise funds to advance the Eyre Peninsula Kaolin-Halloysite Project in South Australia and the Salta Lithium-Brine Project in Argentina, as well as for the assessment and exploration of its other portfolio projects and working capital.
Directors’ recommendation
The directors recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2 – Approval of agreement to issue options to GBA Capital Pty Ltd
As announced to the market on 16 December 2021, GBA Capital Pty Ltd (ACN 643 039 123) ( GBA Capital ) acted as lead manager for a placement of shares to sophisticated, professional and institutional investors on 24 December 2021, which raised approximately $3.7 million ( Placement ). Further details of the Placement are set out in the Explanatory Statement in respect of Resolution 1.
Under the terms of the agreement with GBA Capital ( GBA Agreement ), in consideration for acting as the lead manager for the Placement, the Company paid GBA Capital a 6% commission on the funds raised and agreed to issue to GBA Capital, subject to shareholder approval, 2,000,000 unquoted options with an exercise price of $0.76 per option and which expire on 31 December 2024 ( GBA Options ).
Resolution 2 seeks shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 of the agreement to issue 2,000,000 unquoted options to GBA Capital without shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not without shareholder approval, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any relevant period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period immediately preceding the issue.
The agreement to issue does not fit within any exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period following the agreement issue.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rule 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.
If Resolution 2 is passed, the Company will be able to issue the GBA Options to GBA Capital in accordance with the GBA Agreement without using the Company’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the GBA Options will still be issued to GBA Capital, but will use the Company’s placement capacity, which would restrict the Company’s ability to conduct further placements and raise capital for a period of 12 months from the date of the GBA Agreement (14 December 2021).
Specific information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to the agreement to issue the GBA Options:
- (a) the GBA Options were agreed to be issued to GBA Capital;

(9) the Company was restricted, without the consent of GBA Capital, from making any further issues of equity until 90 days after completion of the Placement; and

Directors’ recommendation
The directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
Resolutions 3 to 6 – Approval of the grant of performance rights to directors
The Company proposes to establish an incentive arrangement which will endeavour to increase alignment of the interests of directors, executives and shareholders, and to ensure that directors and executives are incentivised to attain those key objectives.
While this incentive arrangement is in the development stage for executives and has not yet been established for executives, the Company wishes to incentivise its directors in the interim. As such, the Company proposes to grant performance rights to each of its directors. A performance right entitles the holder (and/or their nominee) to be issued a fully paid ordinary share in the Company upon satisfaction of specified performance criteria and the expiry of a vesting period.
The performance rights proposed to be granted to Mena Habib, Stephen Ross, David Turvey and James Moses are subject to the performance criteria set out below, become exercisable in three tranches, and have an expiry date of five years from the date that the performance rights are granted.
As shareholders may be aware, since the November 2021 changes to the board and executive team, the share price of the Company has increased substantially, as shown in the following:

By granting performance rights subject to performance criteria and exercisable in tranches, the Company aligns the incentives to the long term performance of the Company. The Board considers that the grant of performance rights to its directors, which are subject to the performance criteria, provides an additional incentive to those directors to work towards maximising returns to shareholders and to encourage each director’s retention.
Further, the Board also considers that the use of performance rights is superior to alternative forms of incentives, such as cash, on the basis that the performance rights becoming exercisable and the consequential issuing of shares in the

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
capital of the Company to each of the directors means that the shareholding in the Company of each of those directors increases, and this results in an increased alignment of the interests of directors and shareholders.
Performance criteria
The performance rights are exercisable in three tranches, as follows, and expire on 8 June 2027:
-
(a) the Tranche 1 performance rights become exercisable from 9 June 2024, subject to the Company’s share price maintaining a volume average weighted price of at least $1.20 per share over any period of 10 consecutive trading days prior to expiry of the performance rights ( Tranche 1 );
-
(b) the Tranche 2 performance rights become exercisable from 9 June 2025, subject to the Company’s share price maintaining a volume average weighted price of at least $1.50 per share over any period of 10 consecutive trading days prior to expiry of the performance rights ( Tranche 2 ); and
-
(c) the Tranche 3 performance rights become exercisable from 9 June 2026, subject to the Company’s share price maintaining a volume average weighted price of at least $2.00 per share over any period of 10 consecutive trading days prior to expiry of the performance rights ( Tranche 3 ).
The performance rights are also subject to the director having been an executive director of the Company for Mr Habib, and a non-executive director of the Company for Messrs Ross, Turvey and Moses, in each case continuously between granting the performance rights and the performance rights being exercised.
The other material terms of the performance rights proposed to be granted to the directors are as follows:
-
the Company will notify the director when all of the performance criteria in respect of each tranche has been met;
-
a performance right may be exercised by the holder sending a written notice of exercise to the Company;
-
all shares issued upon the exercise of the performance rights will risk pari passu in all respect with other fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company;
-
the performance rights will not be quoted on ASX but the Company will apply for quotation of shares issued upon the exercise of the performance rights within the time period required in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules;
-
the performance rights are not transferrable;
-
the performance rights will lapse if the performance criteria are not met, and the performance rights have not been exercise, prior to their expiry; and
-
further terms of the performance rights are set out at the Annexure.
Reason for approval
Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party of the company, which includes a director, unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders. The grant of performance rights falls within the category in ASX Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12. The grant of performance rights therefore requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Resolutions 3 to 6 seek the required shareholder approval to the grant of performance rights under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.11.
The grant of performance rights made with the approval of holders of the Company’s ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 falls within ASX Listing Rule 7.2 exception 14. As a result, the grant of performance rights does not require approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If Resolutions 3 to 6 are passed, the Company will grant the performance rights to its directors. If Resolutions 3 to 6 are not passed, the performance rights will not be granted to the directors and the Company will seek alternative means of appropriately incentivising its directors.

Resolution 7 – Change of company name to Power Minerals Limited
The Company proposes to change its name from PepinNini Minerals Limited to Power Minerals Limited. The name change is designed to best reflect and represent the Company’s renewed focus on its portfolio of battery and technology metals projects, led by the Salta Lithium Brine Project in Argentina and the Eyre Peninsula Kaolin-Halloysite Project in South Australia. It also encompasses the copper, nickel and gold projects that the company is progressing. The proposed new logo for the Company is as follows:
==> picture [138 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
The Corporations Act requires a company to obtain approval of its shareholders by special resolution to adopt a new 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 7 is passed, the Company will lodge an application to change its name with ASIC. 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
The directors recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
Resolution 8 – Approval to amend the constitution
A constitution is a contract between a company and each of its members, a company and each of its directors, and a company’s members with each other member. The constitution governs a company’s internal management including the operations of the company and its procedure for members’ meetings. The constitution may displace or modify the rules set out in the Corporations Act that may otherwise apply.
Since the constitution was last amended in August 2020, there have been a number of changes to the legislation governing how companies may send notices to its shareholders to facilitate sending by electronic means, however, a company must still comply with its constitution.
The Company’s constitution does not allow notices to be sent electronically and, as such, the Company proposes to amend its constitution to allow notices to be sent electronically in accordance with the Corporations Act, including by giving the Company the ability to provide shareholders sufficient information to access a notice of meeting electronically (for example by providing shareholders with the website address where the notice is located).
The amendments to the constitution also update the notice periods for sending notices such that notices sent by post are deemed to have been served on the Business Day after posting (rather than 48 hours after posting) and notices sent by electronic means are deemed to have been served on the Business day it is sent. A notice made available by providing sufficient information to allow a shareholder to access the notice electronically is served when the notice providing the information is deemed to have been served personally, by post or by electronic means.
The Company notes that the administrative costs of sending notices by post are material, and that facilitating the giving of electronic notices provides an administrative cost reduction benefit to the Company. Sending notices by electronic means also has a lower environmental impact than posting notices.
Section 136(2) of the Corporations Act requires a company to obtain approval of its shareholders by special resolution to amend its constitution. A special resolution must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting.
