Saskatoon, Saskatchewan TheNewswire - August 9, 2022 UEX Corporation (TSX:UEX) (OTC:UEXCF) (" UEX " or the " Company ") announces that the Board of Directors of the Company (the " Board ") has unanimously determined, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that the unsolicited non-binding proposal that was received by the Company from Denison Mines Corp. (" Denison ") on August 8, 2022 (the " Denison Offer ") for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of UEX (" UEX Shares ") in consideration for common shares of Denison (" Denison Shares ") constitutes a "Superior Proposal" under the arrangement agreement dated June 13, 2022, as amended June 23, 2022 and August 5, 2022, among UEX, Uranium Energy Corp. (" UEC ") and UEC 2022 Acquisition Corp. (the " UEC Arrangement Agreement ").

Pursuant to the terms of the Denison Offer, Denison proposes to acquire each UEX Share in exchange for 0.32 Denison Shares, which represents a 7% premium to the price implied by the UEC Arrangement Agreement based on the one-day volume weighted average price on August 8, 2022, and a 9% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price to August 8, 2022 implied by the UEC Arrangement Agreement.

In accordance with the UEC Arrangement Agreement, the Company notified UEC on August 9, 2022 that it considers the Denison Offer to be a Superior Proposal. UEC has the right, for a period of five business days from receipt of UEX's notice, to offer to further amend the terms of the UEC Arrangement Agreement.

At this time, there can be no assurance that the Denison Offer will lead to a termination of the UEC Arrangement Agreement and the execution of a definitive agreement or any other agreement with Denison, or that the Denison Offer, and any transaction related thereto or any similar transaction, will be approved or consummated by the Board or the securityholders of the Company. Accordingly, the Board has not changed its recommendation regarding the transaction under the UEC Arrangement Agreement.
