Power Metal Resources PLC (LON: POW) the AIM listed metals exploration and development company is pleased to provide an update for shareholders covering the Company's Interim Results and the extension of Insider Warrants.
Interim Results
The Company is finalising its Interim Results for the six months ended 31 March 2021 which it expects to announce by the end of May 2021.
Extension of Insider Warrants
On 19 February 2021 the company announced a 3 month extension to 40 million Financing Warrants (issued in February 2019 to participants of the Company refinancing) held by insiders and connected parties (the 'Insider Warrants') and a new expiry date of 18 May 2021.
The extension was granted due to the impending release of audited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2020 and given the level of ongoing operational activity that may frequently restrict the exercise of Insider Warrants due to the holders being in possession of price sensitive information.
As noted above the Company is currently finalising its interim financial statements for the half year ended 31 March 2021, which Power Metal expects will be announced to the market by the end of May 2021, consequently the Company is in a close period.
In addition, the Company continues to experience a heightened level of operational activity, notably with the regular inflow of price sensitive information in relation to material exploration findings and corporate development activities. The Company expects this level of operational activity may continue for some time.
As a result of the above, the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson (Chief Executive Officer of Power Metal), Andrew Bell (Chairman of Power Metal and Red Rock Resources plc) and those held by Red Rock Resources plc, cannot be exercised by the expiry date of 18 May 2021.
Reflecting the above the Company has extended the Insider Warrants expiry date by a further three months to a new expiry date of 18 August 2021.
RELATED PARTY NOTE
The extension of the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson, Andrew Bell and Red Rock Resources Plc as outlined above, have been treated as a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13.
Scott Richardson Brown and Edmund Shaw, being the independent Directors for the purposes of the extension of the expiry date of the Insider Warrants held by Paul Johnson and Andrew Bell and Red Rock Resources Plc consider, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, SP Angel, that the extension of the Insider Warrants expiry date to 18 August 2021 to such related parties is fair and reasonable insofar as the Shareholders are concerned.
