| a) | On February 17, 2022, the Company announced that it has executed a non-binding letter of intent (“Non-Binding LOI”) providing for a business combination of Premium Nickel and the Company, (“Merger”), which would be implemented by way of a “Reverse Takeover” (under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”)) of NAN by PNR. Under the policies of the TSXV, Premium Nickel is a “Non-Arm’s Length Party” of the Company. The Non-Binding LOI will form the basis upon which Premium Nickel and the Company will negotiate one or more definitive agreements governing the proposed Merger. It is currently anticipated that the Merger will be completed by way of a triangular amalgamation involving Premium Nickel, NAN and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to be formed; provided, however that the definitive structure of the Merger will be determined based on further tax and structuring advice to be received prior to the execution of definitive agreements governing the proposed Merger. The Company is the Issuer” after the closing of the Merger.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) Proposed Transaction Terms The Company currently owns approximately 9.8% of the outstanding common shares of Premium Nickel on a basic, undiluted basis, and a warrant entitling the Company to purchase an additional 15% of the equity in Premium Nickel, on an undiluted basis, for US$10 million, until February 26, 2025 (the “15% Warrant”) While a definitive exchange ratio remains subject to ongoing due diligence, under the terms of the Non-Binding LOI, each common share of Premium Nickel outstanding immediate prior to the closing of the Merger, other than any common share of Premium Nickel held by the Company, would be exchanged for 5.27 common shares of the Resulting Issuer (before giving effect to any Consolidation) and the 15% Warrant and the common shares of Premium Nickel held by the Company would be extinguished. Following completion of the Merger, approximately 25% of the outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer are expected to be held by the current shareholders of the Company and approximately 75% of the outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer are expected to be held by the current shareholders of Premium Nickel (other than the Company). In connection with the proposed Merger, and subject to any required shareholder and regulatory approvals, the Company is expected to seek the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals to change the name and stock ticker symbol of the Resulting Issuer as part of the Merger to such name and ticker symbol as may be requested by Premium Nickel, acting reasonably, consolidate the common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the “Consolidation”) and reconstitute the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer.
