Investing Policy

The investing strategy of the Pinheiro Cobaltum is to obtain a varied collection of direct and indirect interests in rare earth minerals and other metal projects and assets that are in the exploration or production stages. The company is open to investment opportunities worldwide due to the unique nature of the assets and projects being explored.

The Directors possess extensive experience in deal structuring, fundraising, and investments, which they will utilize to identify and evaluate potential investment opportunities and negotiate acquisitions. The company is always able to enlist qualified technical personnel to conduct specialized due diligence before making any acquisitions or investments as needed. The Directors may implement earn-out structures with specific performance targets for the businesses acquired and appropriate metrics employed.

Pinheiro Cobaltum has the option to invest through either complete acquisition or by acquiring the assets, including intellectual property, of a relevant business, partnership, or joint venture arrangement. These investments may result in the company acquiring all or a part of a company or project, which may be private or listed on a stock exchange and may not have generated revenue yet. The investments may also constitute a minority stake in the company or project. The company can make these investments in different forms such as equity, joint venture, debt, convertible documents, license rights, or other financial instruments that the Directors consider appropriate.

Pinheiro Cobaltum's investment strategy varies depending on the nature of each individual investment in its portfolio and can range from active to passive. While the company intends to hold investments for the long run, there are no set minimum or maximum time limits. There are no restrictions on the number of projects the company can invest in or the percentage of the company's assets that any investment may represent. Pinheiro Cobaltum is open to exploring investment opportunities anywhere in the world.

The Directors have the flexibility to offer new ordinary shares in the company as a means of preserving cash for working capital and unexpected contingencies. By accepting considerations other than cash, the company can avoid depleting its cash reserves. This may prove vital in times of economic uncertainty, unexpected operational issues, or delays in collecting accounts receivable. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the company to issue debt securities or borrow money to finance investments. The Directors do not intend to acquire cross-holdings in other corporate entities with an interest in Pinheiro Cobaltum’s ordinary shares. This ensures that the company's resources are solely focused on furthering its own growth and development.
