Centrus Announces "At-the-Market" Equity Offering Program

Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE American: LEU) ("Centrus") today announced that it has entered into an at-the-market ("ATM") equity offering sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement"), under which Centrus may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of its Class A common stock (the "Class A Common Stock") having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,000,000,000 (the "Shares"), through or to any of the sales agents named therein.

Sales of Shares, if any, will be made at or related to then-prevailing market prices and, as a result, prices may vary. Centrus will set the parameters for the sale of Shares under the ATM program, including the number of shares to be issued, the dates on which such sales are anticipated to be made, any limitation on the number of Shares that may be sold in one trading day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and any other sales parameters as Centrus deems appropriate. Centrus is not obligated to sell any Shares under the ATM program, but if sales are made, Centrus expects to use any proceeds therefrom for general working capital and corporate purposes, which may include investment in technology development or deployment, repayment or repurchase of outstanding debt, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and other business opportunities and purposes.

Barclays, Citi, UBS Investment Bank and Evercore ISI are serving as lead sales agents and B. Riley Securities, Guggenheim Securities, MUFG, William Blair, Lake Street and Northland Capital Markets are serving as additional sales agents (collectively, the "Sales Agents").

Under the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents may sell the Shares, using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sale practices, by any method that is deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including but not limited to sales made through NYSE American LLC or any other trading market for the Class A Common Stock.

The Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Shares subject to the Sales Agreement and (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein.

Any Shares to be offered and sold under the Sales Agreement will be issued pursuant to Centrus' Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-291305), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 6, 2025 and became automatically effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and a prospectus supplement, dated November 6, 2025, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act in connection with the offering.
