Item 8.01 Other Events

Centrus Energy Corp. announced today that its subsidiary, American Centrifuge Operating, LLC (“ACO”), has won an award from the U.S. Department of Energy (the "Department") aimed at expanding domestic commercial production of High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium ("HALEU"), which is needed to fuel many of the next-generation nuclear reactor designs currently under development. ACO is one of four awardees. The award has a minimum contract value of $2.0 million and a maximum contract value of $2.7 billion over a ten-year period. The ultimate dollar amount associated with this award will depend upon which task orders ACO is subsequently issued and their value.

Separate from this award, ACO was also one of the awardees selected by the Department on October 8, 2024, to deconvert HALEU from uranium hexafluoride ("UF6") to uranium oxide and/or uranium metal forms, a key step in the nuclear fuel production process which is separate from, and subsequent to, production of HALEU via uranium enrichment.

A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
