("NMG"), a corporation existing under the federal laws of Canada, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 1, 2022 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by the First and Second Amendments to the Original Schedule 13D, dated as of November 15, 2022 and May 2, 2024, respectively ("Amendment No. 1" and "Amendment No. 2") and as further amended by this Amendment No. 3 (and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No.1 and Amendment No. 2, the "Schedule 13D"). Except as set forth below, all items of Amendment No. 2 remain unchanged. All capitalized terms contained but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following: Pallinghurst International disposed of 2,390,966 Common Shares of NMG between October 1, 2025 and October 24, 2025, equating to 1.57% of the total Common Shares of NMG outstanding, which has led to the filing of this Amendment No. 3. Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares of NMG as of October 24, 2025 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Person: Common Shares Pallinghurst International(1)(3) 9,150,047 Pallinghurst Bond(2)(3) 13,026,348 Percentage(4) Pallinghurst International(1)(3) 6.00% Pallinghurst Bond(2)(3) 8.21% Voting and Dispositive Power Sole Power Pallinghurst International(1)(3) 3,531,140 Pallinghurst Bond(2)(3) 13,026,348 Shared Power Pallinghurst International(1)(3) 5,618,907 Pallinghurst Bond(2)(3) 0 (1) Pallinghurst International may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of 5,618,907 Common Shares of NMG directly beneficially owned by Pallinghurst Graphite. Additionally, Pallinghurst International directly beneficially owns 3,531,140 Common Shares of NMG. No entity or individual is deemed to be an ultimate beneficial owner of Pallinghurst International's Common Shares. Thus, Pallinghurst International may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over 5,618,907 Common Shares and to have sole voting and dispositive power of its 3,531,140 Common Shares. (2) Pallinghurst Bond directly beneficially owns 6,776,348 Common Shares and 6,250,000 Warrants, with each such Warrant being exercisable for one Common Share of NMG in connection with a Tranche 2 investment at the final investment decision of NMG, or earlier if the Issuer were to issue an acceleration notice. No entity or individual is deemed to be an ultimate beneficial owner of Pallinghurst Bond's Common Shares. Thus, Pallinghurst Bond may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power of the 6,776,348 Common Shares and 6,250,000 Warrants. (3) Each of Pallinghurst International and Pallinghurst Bond has a board of directors which makes voting and investment decisions over the Common Shares owned by it. However, because these boards are elected by different shareholder bases, no single director is deemed to control voting or disposition of the Common Shares owned by each of Pallinghurst International and Pallinghurst Bond. Thus, no individual or shareholder is deemed a common beneficial owner of the Common Shares of Pallinghurst International and Pallinghurst Bond. The table shows all Reporting Persons for illustrative purposes only, and is not an admission of co-ownership among Pallinghurst International and Pallinghurst Bond. Pallinghurst International and Pallinghurst Bond may still be deemed a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, because their boards of directors are composed of the same individuals and because both Pallinghurst International and Pallinghurst Bond are parties to and have rights under the Second Amended and Restated Investment Agreement with NMG. (4) Based on 152,400,705 Common Shares of NMG outstanding as of October 23, 2025, as reported by NMG, plus, in the case only of Pallinghurst Bond, 6,250,000 Common Shares of NMG that may be issued if the underlying Warrants are exercised in full by Pallinghurst Bond.
