#### EXPLANATORY NOTE

#### DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (the "Post-Effective Amendment") relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") of Piedmont Lithium Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"), which was previously filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):

1. Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-256454) filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021, registering 3,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Registrant ("Common Stock") for future issuance pursuant to the Piedmont Lithium Inc. Stock Incentive Plan.

On August 29, 2025, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 18, 2024, (as subsequently amended on April 22, 2025, and as it may be further amended from time to time) by and among Sayona Mining Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares ("Sayona"), Shock MergeCo Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sayona ("Merger Sub"), and the Registrant, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sayona (the "Merger").

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant terminated all offers and sales of its securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. By filing this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant is hereby deregistering all shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Shares that had been registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of all such Shares; and the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

------
