The Company announced a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of one new share for ten old shares (1:10), effective at 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on December 13, 2018 (the “Effective Time”). The Company’s consolidated common shares are expected to begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and NYSE American when the markets open on December 17, 2018.

Details

Each ten (10) common shares issued and outstanding at the Effective Time will be consolidated into one common share. The share consolidation will affect all of the Company’s common shares outstanding at the Effective Time. As a result of the share consolidation, the number of issued and outstanding common shares will be reduced from 291,259,110 to 29,125,911 (subject to fractional treatment). Each shareholder’s percentage ownership in the Company and proportional voting power remained unchanged after the share consolidation, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the share consolidation. Fractional interests of 0.5 or greater will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares and fractional interests of less than 0.5 will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Registered shareholders of the Company will receive a letter of transmittal from the Company's transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., as soon as practicable after the effective date of the share consolidation. The letter of transmittal will enable registered shareholders to exchange their old share certificates representing pre-consolidation common shares for post-consolidation common shares. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing pre-consolidation common shares will represent the number of whole post consolidation common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the consolidation.

Shareholders who hold their common shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their common shares.

The number of common shares on a post-consolidated basis underlying the issued and outstanding warrants of the Company, including the warrants listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “PTM.WT.U”, and the exercise price thereof will be adjusted in accordance with the applicable warrant indenture or warrant certificate. As well, the number of common shares on a post-consolidated basis that may be issuable upon the conversion of convertible senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) originally issued by the Company on June 30, 2017 and maturing on July 1, 2022 will be adjusted in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes.

Regulatory Requirements
