High Court Approval of Share Capital Reduction
Power Metal Resources PLC has received High Court approval for its share capital reduction, which aims to create distributable reserves for future flexibility. This reduction involves cancelling paid-up capital on deferred shares, the Company's Share Premium Account, and the Capital Redemption Reserve, but it does not alter the number of ordinary shares in issue, which remains 115,610,437. The Order is expected to be registered at Companies House by December 24, 2025, at which point the reduction will become effective.
