Cameco Corporation (TSX: CCO; NYSE: CCJ) announced today the renewal of its at-the-market equity program (the "ATM Program") allowing Cameco to issue up to US$1 billion (or its Canadian dollar equivalent) of common shares (the "Common Shares") from treasury to the public from time to time, at Cameco's discretion. Cameco has entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") dated November 5, 2026 with TD Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc., as Canadian agents, and TD Securities (USA) LLC, CIBC World Markets Corp. and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as U.S. agents, in respect of the ATM Program. The Distribution Agreement replaces Cameco's prior equity distribution agreement dated November 12, 2024, which has been terminated.
Subject to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the volume and timing of distributions under the ATM Program, if any, will be determined at Cameco's sole discretion. As Common Shares sold in the ATM Program will be distributed at the prevailing market price at the time of the sale, prices may vary among purchasers during the period of the distribution. Any Common Shares sold in the ATM Program will be sold in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions, through the Toronto Stock Exchange, the NYSE or by any other method permitted by law, at the prevailing market price at the time of sale. The ATM Program will be effective until December 5, 2029, unless fully utilized or terminated before such date in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement.
Net proceeds of the ATM Program, if any, are expected to fund development opportunities, future acquisitions, repayment of indebtedness, and/or other general corporate purposes.
The ATM Program is established pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the "Canadian ATM Supplement") to a short form base shelf prospectus filed today (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, and a corresponding prospectus supplement (the "U.S. ATM Supplement") to a shelf registration statement on Form F-10 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (Registration No. 333-299849) (the "U.S. Registration Statement").
The filings of the Base Shelf Prospectus and the U.S. Registration Statement allow Cameco to make offerings of Common Shares, preferred shares, warrants, subscription receipts, debt securities and units or any combination thereof, having an aggregate offering price of up to US$3 billion (or its equivalent in another currency) during the next 37 months in Canada and the United States. The specific terms of any offering of securities will be set forth in a shelf prospectus supplement, such as the Canadian ATM Supplement and the U.S. ATM Supplement.
Cameco has filed the Base Shelf Prospectus and the Canadian ATM Supplement with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, and has filed the U.S. Registration Statement and the U.S. ATM Supplement with the SEC.
