    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">A news release with respect to the material change referred to in this report was issued by the Company through Newsfile and filed on the system for electronic document analysis and retrieval (SEDAR) at www.SEDAR.com on June 13, 2023.</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 18pt; text-indent: -18pt; text-align: justify;"><b>ITEM 4<font style="display: inline-block; width: 29pt;">&#160;</font></b><b>Summary of Material Change</b></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">On June 13, 2023, the Company announced a financing with Cymbria Corporation (TSX: CYB) ("<b>Cymbria</b>" or "<b>CYB</b>"), EdgePoint Investment Group Inc. and certain entities managed by it ("<b>EdgePoint</b>") for aggregate gross proceeds to PNRL of CAD$33,999,200. The financing will include three concurrent and inter-conditional transactions (collectively, the "<b>Financing Transactions</b>").</p>
    <p style="margin-left: 18pt; text-indent: -18pt; text-align: justify;"><b>ITEM 5<font style="display: inline-block; width: 29pt;">&#160;</font></b><b>Full Description of Material Change</b></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-left: 63pt;">On June 13, 2023, the Company announced the Financing Transactions with Cymbria and EdgePoint for aggregate gross proceeds to PNRL of CAD$33,999,200.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;"><i>Equity Financing </i></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">PNRL and Cymbria have entered into a binding term sheet dated June 12, 2023 providing for the issue and sale of 14,772,000 units at a subscription price of CAD$1.10 per unit (the "<b>Issue Price</b>") for aggregate gross proceeds to PNRL of CAD$16,249,200 (the "<b>Equity Financing</b>"). Each unit will be comprised of one common share of PNRL (the "<b>Common Shares</b>") and 22.5% of one whole Common Share purchase warrant (each a "<b>Transferable Warrant</b>" and together the "<b>Transferable Warrants</b>"). The total whole number of Transferable Warrants issuable in the Equity Financing is 3,324,000. Each Transferable Warrant may be exercisable by the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of CAD$1.4375 per Common Share for a period of three years. The Transferable Warrants will be freely transferable upon issuance thereof, subject to the restrictions on transfer pursuant to applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "<b>TSXV</b>").</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;"><i>Term Loan </i></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">PNRL and Cymbria (the "<b>Lender</b>"), an affiliate of EdgePoint, have also entered into a binding commitment letter dated June 12, 2023 pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to advance to PNRL on closing CAD$15,000,000 for a three-year term (the "<b>Term Loan</b>"). The Term Loan will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. The principal amount of the Term Loan will mature and be payable on the third anniversary of the date of issue. The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Term Loan will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries (collectively, the "<b>Guarantors</b>"). The Term Loan will be subject to certain covenants and provisions on events of default, repayments and mandatory prepayments that are customary for a loan of this nature and secured by a pledge of all the shares of the Company's subsidiaries and other security customary for a loan of this nature. In connection with the Term Loan, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 2,000,000 non-transferable Common Share purchase warrants (the "<b>Non-Transferable Warrants</b>") to the Lender. Each Non-Transferable Warrant shall be excisable by the Lender to purchase one Common Share upon payment of the cash purchase price of CAD$1.4375 per Common Share for a period of three years from the issuance thereof.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;"><i>Option Payment </i></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">Concurrently with the closings of the Equity Financing and the Term Loan, Cymbria has also agreed to pay an aggregate of CAD$2,750,000 to two subsidiaries of PNRL (the "<b>Option Payment</b>") to acquire a right to participate with such subsidiaries in the exercise of certain contractual rights, as and when the same may be exercised by such subsidiaries. The Option Payment will be allocated by the PNRL subsidiaries having regard to the relative purchase prices payable in connection with the exercise of their respective contractual rights.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">PNRL's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Premium Nickel Resources Proprietary Limited ("<b>PNRP</b>") acquired the Selebi mine in January 2022 out of liquidation. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the liquidator retained a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Selebi mine (the "<b>Selebi NSR</b>"). PNRP has a contractual right to repurchase one-half of the Selebi NSR at a future time on payment by PNRP to the liquidator of US$20,000,000.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">PNRL's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Premium Nickel Group Proprietary Limited ("<b>PNGP</b>") acquired the Selkirk mine in August 2022 out of liquidation. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the liquidator retained a 1% net smelter returns royalty on the Selkirk mine (the "<b>Selkirk NSR</b>" and together with the Selebi NSR, the "<b>NSRs</b>"). PNGP has a contractual right to repurchase the entirety of the Selkirk NSR at a future time on payment by PNGP to the liquidator of US$2,000,000.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">Each of PNRP and PNGP has agreed to grant to Cymbria, in exchange for the Option Payment, an option to participate in any such repurchase of the applicable portion of its NSR from the relevant liquidator. Cymbria will, following the exercise of its option to participate in any such repurchase, acquire a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty on the applicable property by paying an amount equal to (x) one half of the repurchase price payable by PNRP or PNGP pursuant to the applicable NSR, less (y) the Option Payment paid at closing pursuant to the relevant option agreement among Cymbria and PNRP or PNGP, as applicable. Cymbria has the right to put its options back to PNRP and PNGP in certain circumstances in return for the reimbursement of the applicable portion of the Option Payment.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;"><i>Closing </i></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">Closing of the Financing Transactions will occur simultaneously, on or before June 28, 2023 or such later date as may be agreed by the parties, subject in each case to customary closing conditions, including receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV and the approval of the Minister of Mines and Energy in Botswana in relation to certain of the security, and no material adverse change in the business of PNRL having occurred between signing and closing. Closing of the Financing Transactions is inter-conditional. If PNRL fails to satisfy the conditions precedent to closing of any one of the Financing Transactions it does not expect to complete any of the Financing Transactions.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;"><i>Use of Proceeds </i></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">The Company intends to use approximately CAD$7,360,000 of the proceeds from the Financing Transactions to prepay all principal and interest owing by the Company under its currently outstanding promissory note in favour of Pinnacle Island LP. The balance of the net proceeds of the Financing Transactions will be used to advance exploration and resource development at PNRL's Selebi and Selkirk nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum-group elements ("Ni-Cu-Co-PGE") sulphide mines in Botswana, including the acquisition of adjacent mineral and property rights as appropriate, and for general corporate purposes.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;"><i>General </i></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 63pt;">All securities issued in connection with the Financing Transactions will be subject to a hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance and the resale rules of applicable securities legislation and policies of the TSXV. Fort Capital Partners acted as financial advisor to PNRL on the Financing Transactions.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify;">AND WHEREAS EdgePoint, has contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Term Sheet, entered into a commitment letter (the "<b>Commitment Letter</b>") dated the date hereof providing for a loan (the "<b>Term Loan</b>") from the Lender to PNRL to be made on the Closing Date (as defined below) in the amount of Cdn$15,000,000 with a three year term;</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">AND WHEREAS the parties hereto have agreed on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:</p>

Accordingly, each Party waives any and all rights, remedies and claims that it may have against another Party, whether at Law, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, relating to a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement other than the rights of indemnity set forth in this Article 9, except as explicitly contemplated in this Article 9 or in Section 10.10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no inaccuracy of any representation or warranty given in this Agreement, or failure to fulfill or perform any covenant contained under this Agreement will give rise to any right on the part of any Party, after the Closing, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 72pt;">Promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof, but in no event later than 20 Business Days upon obtaining knowledge thereof, an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification from a Party will notify such Party in writing (the "<b>Indemnifying Party</b>") of any Direct Claim or Third Party Claim (the "<b>Indemnification Notice</b>"). No Claim may be asserted or commenced against an Indemnifying Party under this Article 9 unless an Indemnification Notice is received by the Indemnifying Party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such Claim (including, to the extent known, the nature and estimated amount of the Damages and, in case of a Third Party Claim, the identity of any and all Persons making the Third Party Claim) on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or obligation on which such Claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in this Agreement. The failure to give, or delay in giving, an Indemnification Notice will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 9 only to the extent that the Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under this Article 9 may not be mitigated or defended against, or is increased by such failure or delay.</p>

For purposes of the investigation, the Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate in a timely manner with the investigation, including by making available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Direct Claim, together with such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">(b)<font style="width: 22.5pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>If the Indemnifying Party disputes the validity or amount of the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of the dispute (a "<b>Dispute Notice</b>") to the Indemnified Party within the 60 day period specified in Section 9.5(a). The Dispute Notice must describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Indemnifying Party's dispute. During the 30 day period immediately following receipt of a Dispute Notice by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party fail to resolve the dispute within that 30 day period, the Indemnified Party may pursue all rights and remedies available to it under the terms of this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond in writing to the Direct Claim within the 60 day period specified in Section 9.5(a), the Indemnifying Party is deemed to have rejected the Direct Claim, in which event the Indemnified Party may pursue all rights and remedies available to it under the terms of this Agreement.</p>

In addition, the Indemnified Party shall, at the request of the Indemnifying Party, make available to the Indemnifying Party or its representatives on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession of the Indemnified Party reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party for its use in the investigation or defence of any Third Party Claim.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">(d)<font style="width: 22.5pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior express written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to any judgment or effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless: (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability that is the subject matter of Third Party Claim; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party has indemnified the Indemnified Party in conjunction with such consent or settlement.</p>

The purpose and intent of the adjustments provided for in this Section is to ensure that the rights and obligations of the Holder are neither diminished nor enhanced as a result of any of the events set forth in paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with such purpose and intent.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -36pt; margin-left: 72pt;">(b)<font style="width: 23.25pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>The Exercise Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:</p>

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such event shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under paragraphs 14(b)(i) and 14(b)(ii) hereof.</p>

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates referred to in this paragraph 14(b)(iii) are fixed within a period of 25 Business Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates.

    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -36pt; margin-left: 72pt;">(b)<font style="width: 23.25pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>No adjustment in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment in the number of Common Shares is required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -36pt; margin-left: 72pt;">(c)<font style="width: 24pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made in respect of any event described in Section 14, other than the events referred to in Sections 14(b)(i)(A) and 14(b)(i)(B), if the Holder is entitled to participate in such event on the same terms, <i>mutatis mutandis</i>, as if the Holder had exercised these Warrants prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -36pt; margin-left: 72pt;">(d)<font style="width: 23.25pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 14 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend, and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization (as described in 14(b)(i)).</p>

Failure of the taking of action by the board of directors of the Company so as to provide for an adjustment pursuant to this Section 15(f) on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Company has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify;">If PNRP exercises its Selebi NSR Buyback Right and delivers a Buyback Exercise Notice in connection therewith and the Option Purchaser exercises or is deemed to have exercised its Selebi NSR Option in connection therewith, the Option Purchaser shall pay to PNRP in US dollars, at least five days prior to the proposed date of the exercise of the Selebi NSR Buyback Right as set forth in the Buyback Exercise Notice, as directed by PNRP, in order to permit PNRP to exercise the Selebi NSR Buyback Right pursuant to the terms of the Selebi NSR, the amount of US$10,000,000 less the US dollar equivalent of the Selebi Option Price (converted to US dollars based on the average daily exchange rate of the Bank of Canada on the Closing Date) (the "<b>Selebi NSR Option Payment Amount</b>").</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">The Option Purchaser will have the right to compel PNRP to trigger the Selebi NSR Buyback Right by delivery of written notice to PNRP (a "<b>Buyback Trigger Notice</b>") at any time within the first ten months immediately following the first anniversary of the first "Sale" (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Selebi NSR) from the Selebi Mine (the "<b>First Anniversary of Production</b>"), if the Selebi NSR Buyback Right has not previously been exercised by PNRP. To facilitate the exercise of such right by the Option Purchaser, PNRP will provide notice to the Option Purchaser of the first "Sale" from the Selebi Mine within 15 business days of such event. If the Option Purchaser triggers the Selebi NSR Buyback Right by delivery of a Buyback Trigger Notice, PNRP shall ensure that the Selebi NSR Buyback Right is exercised within 60 days, subject only to receipt of payment of the Selebi NSR Option Payment Amount from the Option Purchaser at least five days prior to the agreed date of the exercise of the Selebi NSR Buyback Right. For greater certainty, the Option Purchaser shall not have the right to deliver an Option Termination Notice following delivery of a Buyback Trigger Notice.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify;">If the Selebi NSR Option is exercised by the Option Purchaser pursuant to any of the mechanisms described in this Schedule C, the royalty granted to the Option Purchaser by PNRP shall be granted, concurrently with the implementation of the Selebi NSR Buyback Right by PNRP, and shall be substantially in the form of the existing Selebi NSR with only those changes required to reflect the change in parties and the decrease in the royalty percentage to a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty (the "<b>Selebi Successor Royalty Agreement</b>"). EdgePoint acknowledges and agrees on behalf of the Option Purchaser that royalties are not capable of registration on title in Botswana and that, consistent with the Selebi NSR, no security will be granted to the Option Purchaser in connection with the exercise of the Selebi NSR Option and the delivery of the Selebi Successor Royalty Agreement to the Option Purchaser.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The Option Purchaser will also have the right, exercisable by delivery to PNRP of a notice in writing, to require PNRP to repurchase the Selebi NSR Option from the Option Purchaser for an amount equal to the Selebi Option Price at any time commencing on the First Anniversary of Production if the Selebi NSR Buyback Right has not been exercised by PNRP prior to the First Anniversary of Production. If the Option Purchaser exercises such right, PNRP shall pay the Selebi Option Price to the Option Purchaser in cash within 60 days from the date written notice was provided by the Option Purchaser to PNRP. Thereafter, if PNRP decides to exercise the Selebi NSR Buy Back Right at any time, PNRP shall give a Buyback Exercise Notice to the Option Purchaser and the Option Purchaser shall have the right (the "<b>Residual Right</b>") upon delivery: (i) within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Buyback Exercise Notice, of written notice to PNRP of its intention to exercise the Residual Right; and (ii) of payment to PNRP of US$10,000,000 at least five days prior to the proposed date of the exercise of the Selebi NSR Buyback Right (as set forth in the Buyback Exercise Notice), to receive the Selebi Successor Royalty Agreement upon exercise of the Selebi NSR Buyback Right by PNRP. For greater certainty, the Residual Right shall not be exercisable by the Option Purchaser following the delivery of an Option Termination Notice.</p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;">For purposes of Section 6 of the Term Sheet and the Selebi NSR Option Purchase Agreement, the Selebi Mine shall include, to the extent acquired by PNRL or any of its subsidiaries, any additional property rights acquired pursuant to Section 3(ii) of this Term Sheet or, if a separate net smelter returns royalty agreement is delivered by PNRL or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the acquisition of any such property, an option on substantially the same terms of the Selebi NSR Option shall apply to such net smelter returns royalty agreement, provided that no additional consideration shall be payable by the Option Purchaser in connection with the exercise thereof (but will, for greater certainty, be required to pay the attributable portion of any buy-back fee payable pursuant to the applicable net smelter returns royalty agreement), and a separate NSR Option Purchase Agreement shall be entered into by the Option Purchaser and the relevant PNRL subsidiary substantially on the terms described in this Schedule C, <i>mutatis mutandis</i>.</p>

The Forbearance Fee shall be deemed to be fully earned and payable on the 25<sup>th</sup>, 50<sup>th</sup> and 75<sup>th</sup> days commencing from the date on which the Lender is legally able to enforce the remedies for which it is granting its forbearance, being the first day of the Forbearance Period.</p>

The Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) if the Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to the relevant governmental authority.</p>

The purpose and intent of the adjustments provided for in this Section is to ensure that the rights and obligations of the Holder are neither diminished nor enhanced as a result of any of the events set forth in paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with such purpose and intent.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -24pt; margin-left: 108pt;">(C)<font style="width: 11pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>fix a record date for the issue of, or issue, Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or other distribution other than a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, on the record date for such event or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of such event, be adjusted so that it will equal the rate determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date before giving effect to such event, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such date after giving effect to such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such event shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under paragraphs 14(b)(i) and 14(b)(ii) hereof.</p>

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates referred to in this paragraph 14(b)(ii) are fixed within a period of 25 Business Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.</p>

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, provided that if two or more such record dates referred to in this paragraph 14(b)(iii) are fixed within a period of 25 Business Days, such adjustment will be made successively as if each of such record dates occurred on the earliest of such record dates. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants so distributed are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall then be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based upon such rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or cash, securities or other property or assets actually distributed or based upon the number or amount of securities or the property or assets actually issued or distributed upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -24pt; margin-left: 60pt;">(b)<font style="width: 12pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>No adjustment in the Exercise Price is required to be made unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the prevailing Exercise Price and no adjustment in the number of Common Shares is required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least one-hundredth of a Common Share; provided, however, that any adjustments which, except for the provisions of this subsection, would otherwise have been required to be made, will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.</p>

    <p style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -24pt; margin-left: 60pt;">(d)<font style="width: 12pt; display: inline-block;">&#160;</font>No adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made under Section 14 in respect of the issue from time to time of Common Shares issuable from time to time as Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course to holders of Common Shares who exercise an option or election to receive substantially equivalent dividends in Common Shares in lieu of receiving a cash dividend, and any such issue will be deemed not to be a Share Reorganization (as described in 14(b)(i)).</p>

Failure of the taking of action by the board of directors of the Company so as to provide for an adjustment pursuant to this Section 15(f) on or prior to the effective date of any action by the Company affecting the Common Shares will be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Company has determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances.</p>
