Uranium Energy’s participation in the Offering through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UEC for 625,000 Common Shares and gross proceeds of US$2,500,000, constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Offering as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves Uranium Energy, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering as the participation of Uranium Energy, through its wholly-owned subsidiary UEC, in the Offering had not been confirmed at that time.
