Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) today announced its receipt of a notice from UEX Corporation that Denison Mines Corp. has made a new non-binding proposal to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of UEX (“UEX shares”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “New Denison Proposal”). According to the update, UEX has further advised UEC that its board of directors has determined to unilaterally postpone the special meeting of UEX securityholders originally scheduled for today, Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022, to Monday, Aug. 15, 2022, to consider whether the New Denison Proposal constitutes a “Superior Proposal” as defined in the arrangement agreement dated June 13, 2022, as amended June 23, 2022 and Aug. 5, 2022, among UEX, UEC and the UEC 2022 Acquisition Corp. (the “Arrangement Agreement”).

“The new non-binding Denison offer is 5% more dilutive to its shareholders compared to UEC’s superior bid. The Denison offer is also inferior as it introduces deal uncertainties for UEX shareholders, that is why we are extremely disappointed in the actions of the UEX board in delaying the shareholder vote,” said Amir Adnani, UEC president and CEO. “More than 38% of eligible securities have already voted on the UEC proposal with 93.4% voting in favour. We look forward to new shareholder meeting at or earlier than Aug. 15, 2022. As previously mentioned, UEC’s accepted offer doubles UEC’s uranium resource at only 14.2% dilution to our existing shareholders on a pro forma basic shares basis.”
