Uranium Energy Corp Announces Acquisition of UEX Corporation to Create the Largest Diversified North American Focused Uranium Company

(TheNewswire)

UEX Corporation

Acquisition Rationale and Highlights:

  • Accretive transaction, doubling of UEC's uranium resources in world-class, politically stable, uranium mining jurisdictions at only a 13.7% dilution to UEC's outstanding shares (1)

  • Pro forma UEC will have the largest uranium portfolio focused exclusively in the Americas, located in proven and stable jurisdictions, and combining diversified U.S. production and Canadian development assets

  • Recent global events have set in motion long-term structural changes in the supply chains of energy commodities where security of supply and reduction of geopolitical and transportation risk will be key strategic differentiators

  • On the demand side, there is a growing trend by Western utilities to secure supplies from uranium projects in politically stable jurisdictions

  • UEX portfolio is comprised of 29 uranium projects covering key areas of the producing eastern side and development western side of prolific Athabasca basin

  • 5 of the 29 projects are advanced resource stage and already in strong joint-venture partnerships with established uranium miners which allows UEC to remain operationally focused in the U.S. while benefiting from a new development pipeline with significant exploration potential in Canada

  • UEX complements UEC's near-term production-ready and brownfield assets in the U.S. with medium and long-term production potential in Canada

  • UEC maintains its strong balance sheet with over $180 (2) million of cash and liquid assets, with no debt, supporting production readiness and its ability to advance a strengthened project portfolio

Corpus Christi, TX, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – TheNewswire - June 13, 2022 – Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE American:UEC ) , the " Company " or " UEC " and UEX Corporation (TSX:UEX ) , " UEX " are pleased to announce they have entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the " Agreement "), pursuant to which UEC will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of UEX by way of statutory plan of arrangement (the " Arrangement ") under the Canada Business Corporations Act .

Under the terms of the Agreement, each holder of the common shares of UEX (each, a " UEX Share ") will receive 0.0831 of one UEC share (each, a " UEC Share ") in exchange for each UEX Share. This share exchange ratio implies consideration of approximately C$0.43 (3) per UEX Share and a premium of approximately 50% based on the closing price of UEX's shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX ") on June 10, 2022.

At closing, existing UEC and UEX shareholders will own approximately 86.3 % and 13.7 %, respectively, of UEC based on current outstanding common shares.

Notes :

  1. (1) Subject to the completion of technical reports by UEC after closing

  2. (2) See UEC news release dated June 8, 2022; Subsequent to the closing of the Anfield indebtedness, and the pending return of certain surety amounts related to the U1 Americas transaction; Equity holdings include 15M shares of Uranium Royalty Corp (UROY)

Amir Adnani, President and CEO of UEC, stated: "UEC's acquisition of Uranium One Americas, Inc. in December 2021 marked the largest M&A transaction in the uranium sector in about a decade. The transaction was highly accretive for the Company, and we have seen a very positive response from our shareholders and the marketplace. The strategic acquisition of UEX has the same characteristics and will grow our diversified portfolio in the politically stable and mining friendly jurisdiction of Canada. It also marks the largest North American M&A transaction in the uranium sector following the U1A acquisition. This transaction underscores UEC's sector leading strategy as the fastest growing, pure play, 100% un-hedged uranium company with assets only in the Western hemisphere. As with the U1A acquisition, the purchase price is equal to only 13.7 % of the pro forma market capitalization, yet the acquisition is expected to more than double the size of our attributable measured and indicated uranium resources. This opportunity provides entry into two of Canada's most prospective uranium districts in Saskatchewan and Nunavut, and cements UEC's position as not only a leading American uranium mining company but a North American one as well. We commend Roger Lemaitre and the UEX team for having assembled and advanced this highly prospective portfolio and look forward to working with their experienced and professional Canadian team. They will be of great benefit to UEC moving forward. Furthermore, the key projects in the UEX portfolio are already in joint venture partnerships with uranium producers, including Cameco and Orano, and we look forward to working with them as the projects continue development towards production."

Roger Lemaitre, President and CEO of UEX, commented: "This transaction with UEC reflects the efforts of the UEX team to create value through building an attractive strategic portfolio of assets and ultimately delivers a great outcome for UEX shareholders and complements our recent acquisition of JCU (Canada) Exploration Company Limited (" JCU "). The combination of UEC and UEX brings together two very strong and complementary portfolios and, in addition to a significant premium, provides our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in the continued growth of UEC. UEX shareholders will gain substantial exposure to production-ready low-cost U.S. ISR (in situ recovery) mining assets, a substantial physical uranium portfolio, a strong balance sheet and access to capital. I look forward to seeing UEC's management team continue to execute on their growth strategy and build upon the success we have already seen with UEX's portfolio of assets."

Additional Benefits of the Acquisition to UEX shareholders

Notices to U.S. Investors

Certain projects in the UEX Asset Portfolio contain "historic resources" which have been estimated in compliance with CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves but should not be considered or treated as current resources as defined under NI 43-101. These resources should be considered a "historical estimate" as defined under NI 43-101. In each instance, the reliability of the historical estimate is considered reasonable, but a Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource, and UEC is not treating the historical estimate as a current Mineral Resource.

The mineral resources referred to in the UEX Asset Portfolio herein have been estimated in accordance with the definition standards on mineral resources of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum referred to in NI 43-101 and are not compliant with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") Industry Guide 7 guidelines. In addition, measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources and inferred mineral resources, while recognized and required by Canadian regulations, are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Accordingly, we have not reported them in the United States. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral resources in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. These terms have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In particular, it should be noted that mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part of the reported measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources or inferred mineral resources referred to herein are economically or legally mineable.

UEC is now subject to the requirements of Regulation S-K (subpart) 1300 – Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations with respect to disclosure of mining operations that are material to it starting with its fiscal year ending July 31, 2022 or sooner if it files a registration statement and can only rely on technical information contained in a technical report summary prepared in accordance with Regulation S-K (subpart) 1300.

Although the parties have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. The parties do not intend, and do not assume any obligation, to update these forward looking statements or information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

Nick Hodge: Uranium and Gold Outlook for 2025, Plus Battery Passport Profits

In an interview at the New Orleans Investment Conference, Nick Hodge, publisher at Digest Publishing, discussed the growing prevalence of "battery passports" and the investment angle he sees there.

He also shared his thoughts on how to invest in uranium at this point in the cycle, saying that power-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are boosting demand for the commodity, which was already strong.

"I've been a uranium bull for a long time — our moment is here. You can't have AI without uranium," said Hodge.

Nuclear Fuels Aims to Boost US Domestic Uranium Supply Chain, CEO Greg Huffman says

Issues facing the global uranium supply chain have created a significant opportunity for emerging explorers and producers to leverage the growing demand for nuclear energy and build more secure and stable domestic supply chains.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Nuclear Fuels (CSE:NF) CEO and President Greg Huffman said his company is strategically positioned to supply growing US uranium demand by advancing its uranium projects in Wyoming.

“We have massive, massive increases in terms of expected demand for uranium,” he said. “What we at Nuclear Fuels are focused on is being able to come up with new sources of domestic US uranium to help supply that increase in demand for nuclear power.”
