Amendment to the Prospectus
2.1
Purpose of this document
The purpose of this Supplementary Prospectus is to supplement the disclosure provided in Sections 3.3 and
11.20 of the Prospectus as a result of the Company entering into an addendum to the existing MOU with Cal
Poly, as set out the Company’s ASX announcement of 27 November 2015.
2.2
Supplementary Disclosure in Section 3.3 of the Prospectus
To provide additional disclosure, Section 3.3, page 41 of the Prospectus is amended by the addition of the
following:
On 27 November 2015 the Company announced it had entered into an addendum to the existing MOU with
Cal Poly whereby the Company has agreed to co-operate with Cal Poly to plan the deployment of a staged
ocean wave energy and energy storage micro-grid project at Cal Poly Research Pier (Pier) (the Project).
The Cal Poly Pier is located at Avila Beach and is 3000ft (~1km) long and operates as a leading marine
research facility providing students, faculty and researchers with unrivalled access to the marine
environment.
The Project is expected to be a staged deployment program, which is to commence during 2016, with the
temporary deployment of the first ProteanTM WEC in the ocean. This first buoy deployment is the initial stage
of the program to test seaworthiness and assess the environmental impact of the WEC.
The initial phase of the Project is expected to be funded by Stonehenge within the existing budgeted use of
funds as set out in Section 1.7. Cal Poly and the Company will co-operate to seek additional sources of
funds in the form of grants or direct funding by Stonehenge for later stages, as and when they are defined, in
addition to potential cost sharing by Cal Poly where appropriate.
This is a supplementary prospectus intended to be read with the prospectus dated 25 November 2015 issued by
Stonehenge Metals Ltd (to be renamed Protean Wave Energy Limited) (ACN 119 267 391).

The Company believes this additional agreement represents another step towards deployment of the first
ProteanTM WEC in the US, which is in addition to the Company’s plans to deploy projects in Australia and the
Maldives. Each of these projects helps demonstrate the Company’s ability to form partnerships and each
project moves the Company further down the path to commercialisation.
The Project is in addition and complimentary to the agreement already in place with Cal Poly for a joint
application for US$1.5m funding from the US Department of Energy (DOE) to fund Cal Poly’s CalWave
project, in which Stonehenge acts as a team member and technology contributor.
2.3
Supplementary Disclosure in Section 11.20 of the Prospectus
To provide additional disclosure, Section 11.20 of the Prospectus is deleted and replaced with the following:
MOU with California Polytechnic State University
On or about 30 June 2015, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Cal Poly
Corporation and California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo (together, Cal Poly) to facilitate
joint applications for two major funding opportunities offered by the US Department of Energy (DOE). If
granted, the applications have a combined potential grant value of US$3,750,000 comprised of the CalWave
grant for up to US$1,500,000 and the Wave Energy Prize competition for a grant of up to US$2,750,000.
The Company and Cal Poly have subsequently jointly agreed to withdraw from the Wave Energy Prize, as
announced by the Company to ASX on 16 July 2015.
Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the Company and Cal Poly will collaborate, exchange information, and
work together to submit applications to DOE for the funding grants for the period of the earlier of 18 months
from the date of the MOU, or in the event funding is granted, 12 months following the date of any grant (or
such other period of cooperation mutually agreed by the Parties).
The CalWave grant of US$1,500,000 is expected to occur shortly after the date of the Prospectus and will
result in no additional cost or revenue for the Company. The only practical implication of the grant is that Bill
Toman will be providing a portion of his time to the CalWave project as project manager.
On 27 November 2015 the Company entered into a variation to the MOU to include the intention of the
Company and Cal Poly to plan and deploy a Protean TM WEC ocean energy generation and energy storage
micro-grid off the Cal Poly Research Pier at the California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo.
The MOU otherwise contains terms considered standard for agreements of this nature.
