This short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the offering for sale by Uranium Royalty Corp. (the “Company”) from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains effective, of up to $130,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies based on the applicable exchange rate at the time of the offering) in the aggregate of: (i) common shares in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares”); (ii) preferred shares in the capital of the Company (“Preferred Shares”), issuable in series; (iii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase other Securities (as defined below) of the Company; (iv) subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) convertible into other Securities of the Company; (v) debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness of any kind, nature or description and which may be issuable in series (collectively, “Debt Securities”); and (vi) units (“Units”) comprised of one or more of any of the other Securities, or any combination of such Securities (the Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities and Units are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”). The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”). In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

 

The issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company are listed and posted for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “URC”, and on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “UROY”. Certain outstanding and listed common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Listed Warrants”) are listed on the TSXV under the symbol “URC.WT”. On June 3, 2021, the last complete trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV was $3.66 per Common Share, and on the Nasdaq was US$3.06 per Common Share. The closing price of the Listed Warrants as at the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus was $1.65 per Listed Warrant. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, any Securities, other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants, will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system.

 

 
 

 

The Company is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Prospective investors in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The financial statements incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) and may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

 

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is governed by the laws of Canada, that some of its officers and directors are residents of a foreign country, that some of the experts named in this Prospectus are, and the underwriters, dealers or agents named in any Prospectus Supplement may be, residents of a foreign country, and a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and said persons may be located outside of the United States. See “Enforceability of Certain Civil Liabilities”.

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

 

Investing in Securities of the Company involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks outlined in this Prospectus (together with any Prospectus Supplement) and in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement and consider such risks in connection with an investment in such Securities. See “Risk Factors”.

 

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities may have tax consequences in Canada and the United States. Such consequences may not be described fully herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion contained in this Prospectus under the heading “Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations” as well as the tax discussion, if any, contained in the applicable Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering of Securities.

 

The specific terms of any Securities with respect to a particular offering will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement including, where applicable: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price, whether the Common Shares are being offered for cash, and any other terms specific to the Common Shares; (ii) in the case of Preferred Shares, the designation of the particular series, the number of Preferred Shares offered, the offering price, any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends, any terms of redemption, any conversion or exchange rights and any other specific terms; (iii) in the case of Warrants, the number of Warrants being offered, the offering price, whether the Warrants are being offered for cash, the designation, number and terms of the other Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise, the currency in which the Warrants are issued and any other specific terms; (iv) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price, whether the Subscription Receipts are being offered for cash, the terms, conditions and procedures for the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into other Securities, the designation, number and terms of such other Securities, the currency in which such other Securities are issued and any other terms specific to the Subscription Receipts; (v) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation of the Debt Securities, whether such Debt Securities are senior or subordinated, the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities being offered, the currency or currency unit in which the Debt Securities may be purchased, authorized denominations, any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of the series being offered, the issue and delivery date, the maturity date, the offering price (at par, at a discount or at a premium), the interest rate or method of determining the interest rate, the interest payment date(s), any conversion or exchange rights that are attached to the Debt Securities, any redemption provisions, any repayment provisions, and any other specific terms; and (vi) in the case of Units, the number of Units being offered, the offering price and the designation, number and terms of the Securities comprising the Units. A Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities may include terms pertaining to the Securities being offered thereunder that are not within the terms and parameters described in this Prospectus. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where the Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.

 

All information permitted under applicable securities laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus to the extent required by applicable securities law. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in those jurisdictions. The Company may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to exemptions from registration or qualifications under applicable securities law. The Prospectus Supplement relating to each issue of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the proceeds that the Company will or expects to receive, and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. This Prospectus may qualify an “at-the-market distribution” as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”).

 

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale, which prices vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities.

 

In connection with any offering of Securities (unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement), other than an “at-the-market” distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter, dealer or agent involved in an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter, dealer or agent and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter, dealer or agent will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter, dealer or agent creating an over-allotment position in the Securities. See “Plan of Distribution”.

 

No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of the Prospectus or performed any review of the contents of the Prospectus.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants) will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

 

The Company’s head office is located at 1030 West Georgia Street, Suite 1830, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2Y3, and its registered and records office is located at 925 West Georgia Street, Suite 1000, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3L2.

These statements relate to the expectations of management about future events, results of operations and the Company’s future performance (both operational and financial) and business prospects. All statements other than statements of historical fact are Forward-Looking Statements. The use of any of the words “anticipate”, “plan”, “contemplate”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “propose”, “might”, “may”, “will”, “shall”, “project”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “believe”, “predict”, “forecast”, “target”, “aim”, “pursue”, “potential”, “objective” and “capable” and the negative of these terms or other similar expressions are generally indicative of Forward-Looking Statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such Forward-Looking Statements. No assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such Forward-Looking Statements should not be unduly relied on. These statements speak only as of the date hereof. In addition, this Prospectus may contain Forward-Looking Statements attributed to third party industry sources. Without limitation, this Prospectus contains Forward-Looking Statements pertaining to the following: use of funds; the potential benefits of recent acquisitions; the impacts of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on the business of the Company and the operators of the projects underlying its projects the ongoing operation of the properties in which the Company holds or may hold uranium interests; statements with respect to future events or future performance; the impact of general business and economic conditions; future debt levels, financial capacity, liquidity and capital resources; anticipated future sources of funds to meet working capital requirements; future capital expenditures and contractual commitments; expectations respecting future financial results; expectations with respect to the Company’s financial position; expectations regarding the Company’s growth and results of operations; the Company’s dividend policy; conditions, trends and practices pertaining to the uranium industry and other industries in which uranium is used; the financial and operational strength of counterparties; production volumes; mineral resources and mine life; governmental regulatory regimes with respect to environmental matters; and governmental taxation regimes.

Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these Forward-Looking Statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in this Prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” and in the Company’s Annual Information Form, including the following:

 

  dependence on third party operators;
  the Company has limited or no access to data or the operations underlying its interests;

  the impact of project costs on profit based royalties, such as NPIs (as defined herein);
  risks related to the public acceptance of nuclear energy in relation to other energy sources;

 

2

 

 

  alternatives to and changing demand for uranium;

  changes in the technologies pertaining to the use of uranium;
  changes in legislation, including permitting and licensing regimes and taxation policies;

Please carefully consider the risk factors set out herein under “Risk Factors” and in the Annual Information Form.

 

NOTE REGARDING RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

 

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference, as applicable, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral reserve and resource estimates included in this Prospectus have been prepared for or by the current or former owners and operators of the relevant properties, as and to the extent indicated by them, in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) classification system or the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC”), as applicable. In accordance with NI 43-101, the Company uses the terms mineral reserves and resources as they are defined in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves as adopted by the CIM (the “CIM Definition Standards”).

 

The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act. These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Under the SEC Modernization Rules, the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants included in SEC Industry Guide 7 has been replaced. The Company is not required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and will continue to provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. However, if the Company either ceases to be a “foreign private issuer” or ceases to be entitled to file reports under the multijurisdictional disclosure system (“MJDS”), then the Company will be required to provide disclosure on its mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules. Accordingly, United States investors are cautioned that the disclosure the Company provides on its mineral properties may be different from the disclosure that the Company would otherwise be required to provide as a U.S. domestic issuer or a non-MJDS foreign private issuer under the SEC Modernization Rules.

 

3

 

 

The SEC Modernization Rules include the adoption of terms describing mineral reserves and mineral resources that are substantially similar to the corresponding terms under the CIM Definition Standards. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC will now recognize estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards.

 

United States investors are cautioned that while terms are substantially similar to CIM Definition Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as “proven reserves”, “probable reserves”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

 

United States investors are also cautioned that while the SEC will now recognize “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources”, or “inferred mineral resources” that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable.

 

Further, “inferred resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. In accordance with Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred mineral resources” cannot form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies, except in limited circumstances where permitted under NI 43-101.

 

In addition to NI 43-101, certain resource estimates disclosed in this Prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference hereby, have been prepared in accordance with JORC, which differs from the requirements of NI 43-101 and United States securities laws. Accordingly, information contained in this short form prospectus and the portions of documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies who prepare their disclosure in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

TECHNICAL AND THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

 

This Prospectus, as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein, includes market information, industry data and forecasts obtained from independent industry publications, market research and analyst reports, surveys and other publicly available sources. Although the Company believes these sources to be generally reliable, market and industry data is subject to interpretation and cannot be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey. Accordingly, the accuracy and completeness of this data is not guaranteed. Actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecast in such reports, surveys or publications, and the prospect for material variation can be expected to increase as the length of the forecast period increases. The Company has not independently verified any of the data from third party sources referred to herein nor ascertained the underlying assumptions relied on by such sources.

 

Except where otherwise stated, the disclosure herein, and in the documents incorporated by reference hereby, relating to properties underlying the Company’s interests is based primarily on information publicly disclosed by the owners or operators of such properties, as is customary for royalty portfolio companies of this nature. Specifically, as a royalty holder, the Company has limited, if any, access to the properties subject to its interests. The Company generally relies on publicly available information regarding these properties and related operations and generally has no ability to independently verify such information, and there can be no assurance that such third party information is complete and accurate. In addition, such publicly available information may relate to a larger property area than that covered by the Company’s interests. Additionally, the Company has, and may from time to time, receive operating information from the owners and operators of these properties, which it is not permitted to disclose to the public.

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company considers its royalty interest in the McArthur River Project, Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project and the Roughrider Project (each as described in the Annual Information Form), located in Saskatchewan, Canada as its material properties for the purposes of NI 43-101. Information contained in this short form prospectus or incorporated by reference herein with respect to each of such projects has been prepared in accordance with the exemption set forth in section 9.2 of NI 43-101.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the scientific and technical information contained herein or in the documents incorporated by reference regarding McArthur River has been derived from the technical report titled “McArthur River Operation, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report”, with an effective date of December 31, 2018, prepared for Cameco Corporation (“Cameco”), the Cameco Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Cameco 2020 AIF”) and Cameco’s other public disclosures, copies of which are available under its profile on SEDAR.

Du Plessis, P.Geo., a copy of which is available under the Company’s profile at on SEDAR, as well as public disclosures by Rio Tinto plc.

 

We have obtained certain information contained in this Prospectus concerning the industries in which we operate from publicly available information from third party sources. We have not verified the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in such publicly available information.

McArthur River and Cigar Lake Royalty Acquisitions

 

On May 7, 2021, pursuant to an amended and restated royalty purchase agreement dated effective February 10, 2021 (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) with Reserve Minerals Inc. and Reserve Industries Corp. (collectively, the “Royalty Vendors”), the Company acquired: (i) a 1% gross overriding royalty on an approximate 9% share of uranium production derived from an approximate 30.195% ownership interest of Orano Canada Inc. (“Orano”) on the McArthur River Project (the “McArthur River Project”) located in Saskatchewan, Canada; (ii) a 10% to 20% sliding scale net profits interest (an “NPI”) royalty on a 3.75% share of overall uranium production, drawn from Orano’s approximate 37.1% ownership interest in the Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project (the “Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project”) located in Saskatchewan, Canada; and (iii) an option to purchase the 20% NPI on a 7.5% share of overall uranium production from the project lands that comprise the early exploration stage Dawn Lake Project, which are adjacent to portions of the Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Project. The royalty rate adjusts to 10% in the future upon production of 200 Mlbs from the combined royalty lands of the Dawn Lake and Waterbury Lake / Cigar Lake Projects (collectively, the “Royalty Acquisitions”).

 

The consideration paid by the Company under the Royalty Purchase Agreement was US$11.5 million, which was satisfied by the Company by paying to the Royalty Vendors US$10.0 million (approximately $12.2 million) in cash and issuing to the Royalty Vendors 970,017 Common Shares.

 

See “The URC Asset Portfolio – Proposed Royalty Acquisitions” in the Annual Information Form for further information.

 

The cash portion of the consideration was partially funded through a drawdown of $6 million (US$5 million) on a margin loan facility of up to $12 million (US$10 million) (the “BMO Credit Facility”) provided by Bank of Montreal pursuant to a margin loan agreement entered into on May 7, 2021 (the “BMO Margin Loan Agreement”). The BMO Credit Facility is subject to an interest rate of 3-month USD LIBOR plus 5.50% per annum and customary margin requirements, and is secured by a pledge of all the shares of Yellow Cake held by the Company. The BMO Credit Facility matures on the earlier of: (i) May 5, 2023; or (ii) the early payment date on which the outstanding loan amount is fully and finally paid and is subject to customary margin requirements, with margin calls being triggered in the event, among other things, that the loan-to-value ratio is at or above 50%. The Company is currently in compliance with its covenants under the BMO Credit Facility.

Public Offering Closed May 20, 2021

 

On May 20, 2021, the Company completed the May Offering for gross proceeds of $25,010,000. The May Offering was conducted by way of a short form prospectus dated May 18, 2021, through a syndicate of underwriters led by BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., and included Canaccord Genuity Corp., H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, TD Securities Inc. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 6,100,000 Offered Shares at a price of C$4.10 per Offered Share (the “Offering Price”).

 

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 10, 2021, among the Company and the Underwriters, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable at the Offering Price for a period of 30 days following the closing of the May Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of number of Offered Shares sold under the May Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the May Offering to fund future purchases of royalties, streams and similar interests and purchases of physical uranium, and for working capital.

 

Uranium Energy Corp. (“UEC”), an insider of the Company, purchased 1,000,000 Offered Shares, representing 16.39% of the number of Offered Shares. UEC acquired such Offered Shares, on the same terms as the May Offering, in order to retain its proportionate ownership interest in the Company. After completion of the May Offering, UEC holds approximately 18.12% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to cause significant widespread global infections and fatalities. It has also materially adversely affected global economic activity, caused significant market volatility and resulted in numerous governments declaring emergencies and implementing measures, such as travel bans, quarantines, business closures, shelter-in-place and other restrictions, including restrictions that impact mineral exploration and development and mining activities in many jurisdictions. There is significant ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the extent and duration of the impacts that it may have on demand and prices for uranium, on the operations of the projects underlying the Company’s interests, on its employees and on global financial markets.

 

As a result of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, continuing outbreaks along with a spike in infections and fatalities in many countries and emergence of new strains, increased levels of volatility have continued to adversely impact economies and global financial markets. The Company cannot predict whether the resurgence in infections and fatalities or emergence of new strains may cause governments to re-impose some or all prior or new restrictive measures, including business closures. Continuing effects of the pandemic, including variants of the virus, could result in negative economic effects and significant negative impacts on uranium demand and pricing, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

In response to COVID-19, the Company has taken actions to augment its safety protocols, protect its employees and strengthen its balance sheet. These measures have included instituting work from home protocols and, between May 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020, the Company reduced management and directors’ fees to preserve resources in the face of pandemic-related economic uncertainty. Given the nature of the Company’s operations, the pandemic has had relatively little direct impact on the Company’s day-to-day operations. However, restrictions and measures instituted by various governments around the world have significantly reduced the ability of the Company’s personnel and advisors to travel and visit projects in connection with the review of potential acquisitions.

 

Under the Royalty Acquisitions, the Company has agreed to acquire the Cigar Lake Royalty. In the Cameco 2020 AIF, Cameco, the operator of the Cigar Lake mine, disclosed that in March 2020 it had announced the temporary suspension of production at Cigar Lake as a precautionary measure due to the threat posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which production was resumed in September 2020. It further disclosed that it took about two weeks to achieve initial production once the mine was restarted. On December 14, 2020, Cameco announced that it was temporarily suspending production at Cigar Lake due to increasing risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Cameco 2020 AIF, Cameco disclosed that its production and development plans for 2021 at Cigar Lake are uncertain as the mine remains suspended and a restart of the operation and the production rate will be dependent on its ability to maintain safe and stable operating protocols along with a number of other factors, including how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the availability of the required workforce, how cases are trending in Saskatchewan, in particular in northern communities, and the views of the public health authorities. Cameco announced on May 7, 2021 that production at the Cigar Lake mine had resumed, with the first shipment of ore sent to the McClean Lake mill at the end of April. Cameco stated that they were unable to provide additional production outlook for 2021 until the rate at which they will be able to sustainably operate the Cigar Lake mine is known. To date, the operators of the Company’s projects underlying the Company’s other interests have not disclosed any material impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the projects underlying such interests. However, many of such operators have disclosed cost-cutting measures and operational changes to protect employees, with many operators enacting remote working protocols. See “Risk Factors” in the Annual Information Form for further information.

Debt Securities

 

The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities. The particular terms and provisions of a series of Debt Securities offered pursuant to this Prospectus will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to such Debt Securities, will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Company may issue Debt Securities, separately or together, with Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units or any combination thereof, as the case may be. The Company may issue Debt Securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the offering of Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

 

13

 

 

The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be entered into between the Company and one or more trustees (the “Trustee”) that will be named in a Prospectus Supplement for a series of Debt Securities. To the extent applicable, the Indenture will be subject to and governed by the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). A copy of any such trust indenture will be filed with the relevant securities regulatory authorities in Canada after it has been entered into by the Company and will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

 

Prospective investors should read both the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement for a complete summary of all material terms relating to a particular series of Debt Securities. Prospective Investors should be aware that information in the applicable Prospectus Supplement may update and supersede the following information regarding the general material terms and provisions of the Debt Securities. Prospective investors also should refer to the Indenture, as it may be supplemented by any supplemental indenture, for a complete description of all terms relating to the Debt Securities.

 

The Indenture will not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities that we may issue under the Indenture and will not limit the amount of other indebtedness that we may incur. The Indenture will provide that we may issue Debt Securities from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any foreign currency. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture will also permit us to increase the principal amount of any series of the Debt Securities previously issued and to issue that increased principal amount.

 

The description of certain provisions of the Indenture in this section do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the provisions of the Indenture. Terms used in this summary that are not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Indenture. The particular terms relating to Debt Securities offered by a Prospectus Supplement will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement. The description in any such Prospectus Supplement may include, but may not be limited to, any of the following, if applicable:

 

  the specific designation of the Debt Securities;
     
  any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities;
     
  the date or dates, if any, on which the Debt Securities will mature and the portion (if less than all of the principal amount) of the Debt Securities to be payable upon declaration of acceleration of maturity;
     
  the rate or rates (whether fixed or variable) at which the Debt Securities will bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which any such interest will accrue and on which any such interest will be payable and the record dates for any interest payable on the Debt Securities that are in registered form;
     
  whether and under what circumstances we will be required to pay any additional amounts for withholding or deduction for Canadian taxes with respect to the Debt Securities, and whether and on what terms we will have the option to redeem the Debt Securities rather than pay the additional amounts;
     
  the terms and conditions under which we may be obligated to redeem, repay or purchase the Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or otherwise;
     
  the terms and conditions upon which we may redeem the Debt Securities, in whole or in part, at our option;
     
  the covenants applicable to the Debt Securities;
     
  the terms and conditions for any conversion or exchange of the Debt Securities for any other Securities;
     
  the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of the Debt Securities of the series will be senior or will be subordinated to the prior payment of other liabilities and obligations of the Company;
     
  whether the Debt Securities will be secured or unsecured;
     
  whether the Debt Securities will be issuable in registered form or bearer form or both, and, if issuable in bearer form, the restrictions as to the offer, sale and delivery of the Debt Securities which are in bearer form and as to exchanges between registered form and bearer form;
     
  whether the Debt Securities will be issuable in the form of registered global securities (“Global Securities”), and, if so, the identity of the depositary for such registered Global Securities;
     
  the denominations in which registered Debt Securities will be issuable, if other than denominations of $1,000, integral multiples of $1,000 and the denominations in which bearer Debt Securities will be issuable, if other than $5,000;

 

14

 

 

  each office or agency where payments on the Debt Securities will be made and each office or agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange;
     
  if other than United States dollars, the currency in which the Debt Securities are denominated or the currency in which we will make payments on the Debt Securities;
     
  material Canadian federal income tax consequences and United States federal income tax consequences of owning the Debt Securities;
     
  any index, formula or other method used to determine the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Debt Securities;
     
  any changes or additions to, or deletions of, events of default or covenants whether or not such events of default or covenants are consistent with the events of default or covenants in the Indenture;
     
  the applicability of, and any changes or additions to, the provisions for defeasance described under “Defeasance” below;
     
  whether the holders of any series of Debt Securities have special rights if specified events occur; and
     
  any other terms, conditions, rights or preferences of the Debt Securities which apply solely to the Debt Securities.

 

If we denominate the purchase price of any of the Debt Securities in a currency or currencies other than United States dollars or a non-United States dollar unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any Debt Securities is payable in a currency or currencies other than United States dollars or a non-United States dollar unit or units, we will provide investors with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of Debt Securities and such non-United States dollar currency or currencies or non-United States dollar unit or units in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Each series of Debt Securities may be issued at various times with different maturity dates, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary.

 

The terms on which a series of Debt Securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or other securities of the Company will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. These terms may include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at the option of the Company, and may include provisions pursuant to which the number of Common Shares or other securities to be received by the holders of such series of Debt Securities would be subject to adjustment.

 

To the extent any Debt Securities are convertible into Common Shares or other securities of the Company, prior to such conversion the holders of such Debt Securities will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities into which the Debt Securities are convertible, including the right to receive payments of dividends or the right to vote such underlying securities.

 

Guarantees

 

Our payment obligations under any series of Debt Securities may be guaranteed by certain of our direct or indirect subsidiaries. In order to comply with certain registration statement form requirements under U.S. law, these guarantees may in turn be guaranteed by the Company. The terms of such guarantees will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

 

Ranking and Other Indebtedness

 

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, and except to the extent prescribed by law, each such series of Debt Securities shall be senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Company and shall rank pari passu and ratably without preference among themselves and pari passu with all other senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Company. The Debt Securities will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payable and other indebtedness, of our subsidiaries.

 

Our Board of Directors may establish the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of a series of Debt Securities will be senior, senior subordinated or will be subordinated to the prior payment of the Company’s other liabilities and obligations, and whether the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be guaranteed by any other person and the nature and priority of any security.

Debt Securities in Global Form

 

The Depositary and Book-Entry

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, a series of the Debt Securities may be issued in whole or in part in global form as a “global security” and will be registered in the name of or issued in bearer form and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to that series. Unless otherwise permitted by the terms of the Indenture or until exchanged, in whole or in part, for the Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the depositary or a nominee of the successor.

 

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a particular series of the Debt Securities to be represented by a global security will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. The Company anticipates that the provisions described in this section will apply to all depositary arrangements.

 

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary therefor or its nominee will credit, on its book entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities represented by the global security to the accounts of such persons, designated as “participants”, having accounts with such depositary or its nominee. Such accounts shall be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the Debt Securities or by the Company if such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary therefor or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The law of some states in the United States may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form.

 

So long as the depositary for a global security or its nominee is the registered owner of the global security or holder of a global security in bearer form, such depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have a series of the Debt Securities represented by the global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such series of the Debt Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture.

 

Any payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on global securities registered in the name of a depositary or securities registrar will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security representing such Debt Securities. None of the Company, any trustee or any paying agent for the Debt Securities represented by the global securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Company expects that the depositary for a global security and its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the records of such depositary or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of such participants.

 

Discontinuation of Depositary’s Services

 

If a depositary for a global security representing a particular series of the Debt Securities is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or, if at any time the depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, the Company will issue such series of the Debt Securities in definitive form in exchange for a global security representing such series of the Debt Securities. If an event of default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, Debt Securities in definitive form will be printed and delivered upon written request by the holder to the appropriate trustee. In addition, the Company may at any time and in the Company’s sole discretion determine not to have a series of the Debt Securities represented by a global security and, in such event, will issue a series of the Debt Securities in definitive form in exchange for all of the global securities representing that series of Debt Securities.

 

Debt Securities in Definitive Form

 

A series of the Debt Securities may be issued in definitive form, solely as registered securities, solely as unregistered securities or as both registered securities and unregistered securities. Registered securities will be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 and unregistered securities will be issuable in denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples of $5,000 or, in each case, in such other denominations as may be set out in the terms of the Debt Securities of any particular series. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered securities will have interest coupons attached.

 

16

 

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities in definitive form will be made at the office or agency designated by the Company, or at the Company’s option the Company can pay principal, interest, if any, and premium, if any, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the security register of the trustee or electronic funds wire transfer to an account of persons who meet certain thresholds set out in the Indenture who are entitled to receive payments by wire transfer. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of interest, if any, will be made to the persons in whose name the Debt Securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by the Company.

 

At the option of the holder of Debt Securities, registered securities of any series will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount/ If, but only if, provided in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons in default) of any series may be exchanged for registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. In such event, unregistered securities surrendered in a permitted exchange for registered securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for payment of interest shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable on such date for payment of interest in respect of the registered security issued in exchange for such unregistered security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.

 

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of Debt Securities in definitive form. Service charges may be payable by the holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Debt Securities in definitive form, and the Company may, in certain instances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.

 

We shall not be required to:

 

  issue, register the transfer of or exchange any series of the Debt Securities in definitive form during a period beginning at the opening of 15 days before any selection of securities of that series of the Debt Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant date of notice of such redemption, as provided in the Indenture;
     
  register the transfer of or exchange any registered security in definitive form, or portion thereof, called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any registered security being redeemed in part;
     
  exchange any unregistered security called for redemption except to the extent that such unregistered security may be exchanged for a registered security of that series and like tenor; provided that such registered security will be simultaneously surrendered for redemption; or
     
  issue, register the transfer of or exchange any of the Debt Securities in definitive form which have been surrendered for repayment at the option of the holder, except the portion, if any, of such Debt Securities not to be so repaid.

 

Provision of Financial Information

 

In the event that the Company is not required to remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, it shall continue to file with the SEC and provide the trustee:

 

  within 140 days after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports on Form 20-F, 40-F, or Form 10-K, as applicable (or any successor form), containing audited financial statements and the other financial information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor form); and
     
  within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, reports on Form 6-K or Form 10-Q (or any successor form), containing unaudited financial statements and the other financial information which, regardless of applicable requirements shall, at a minimum, contain such information required to be provided in quarterly reports under the laws of Canada or any province thereof to security holders of a corporation with securities listed on the TSX, whether or not the Company has any of its securities so listed.

 

17

 

 

Events of Default

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular series of Debt Securities, the following is a summary of events which will, with respect to any series of the Debt Securities, constitute an event of default under the Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of that series:

 

  the Company fails to pay principal of, or any premium on any Debt Security of that series when it is due and payable;
     
  the Company fails to pay interest payable on any Debt Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and such default continues for 30 days;
     
  the Company fails to make any required sinking fund or analogous payment when due for that series of Debt Securities;
     
  the Company fails to observe or perform any of its covenants or agreements in the Indenture that affect or are applicable to the Debt Securities of that series for 90 days after written notice to the Company by the trustees or to the Company and the trustees by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of that series;
     
  certain events involving the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and
     
  any other event of default provided for in that series of Debt Securities.

 

A default under one series of Debt Securities will not necessarily be a default under another series. A trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the Debt Securities of any default, except in the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, if in good faith it considers it in the interests of the holders to do so and so advises the Company in writing.

 

If an event of default for any series of Debt Securities occurs and continues (other than a bankruptcy-related event of default), a trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of that series may require the Company to repay immediately:

 

  the entire principal and interest of the Debt Securities of the series; or
     
  if the Debt Securities are discounted securities, that portion of the principal as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

 

If an event of default relates to events involving the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal of all Debt Securities will become immediately due and payable without any action by the trustee or any holder.

 

Subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of the affected series can rescind and annul an accelerated payment requirement. If Debt Securities are discounted securities, the applicable Prospectus Supplement will contain provisions relating to the acceleration of maturity of a portion of the principal amount of the discounted securities upon the occurrence or continuance of an event of default.

 

Other than its duties in case of a default, a trustee is not obligated to exercise any of the rights or powers that it will have under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. If they provide this reasonable security or indemnity, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any series of Debt Securities may, subject to certain limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to a trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon a trustee, for any series of Debt Securities.

 

The Company will be required to furnish to the trustees a statement annually as to its compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture and, if the Company is not in compliance, the Company must specify any defaults.

 

No holder of a Debt Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy, unless:

 

  the holder has previously given to the trustees written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to the Debt Securities of the affected series;
     
  the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of the series affected by an event of default have made a written request, and the holders have offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustees to institute a proceeding as trustees; and
     
  the trustees have failed to institute a proceeding, and have not received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of the series affected by an event of default a direction inconsistent with the request, within 60 days after receipt of the holders’ notice, request and offer of indemnity.

 

18

 

 

However, such above-mentioned limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the holder of a Debt Security for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any premium, if any, or interest on such Debt Security on or after the applicable due date specified in such Debt Security.

 

Defeasance

 

When the Company uses the term “defeasance”, it means discharge from certain obligations (other than obligations that survive such defeasance, as specified in the Indenture) with respect to any Debt Securities of or within a series under the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if the Company deposits with a trustee cash, government securities or a combination thereof sufficient to pay the principal, interest, if any, premium, if any, and any other sums due to the stated maturity date or a redemption date of the Debt Securities of a series, then at the Company’s option:

 

  the Company will be discharged from the obligations with respect to the Debt Securities of that series; or
     
  the Company will no longer be under any obligation to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the Indenture and certain events of default will no longer apply to the Company.

 

If this happens, the holders of the Debt Securities of the affected series will not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture except for registration of transfer and exchange of Debt Securities and the replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Debt Securities. These holders may look only to the deposited fund for payment on their Debt Securities.

 

To exercise the defeasance option, the Company must deliver to the trustees:

 

  an opinion of counsel in the United States to the effect that the holders of the outstanding Debt Securities of the affected series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of a defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance had not occurred;
     
  an opinion of counsel in Canada or a ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency to the effect that the holders of the outstanding Debt Securities of the affected series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income or other tax purposes as a result of a defeasance and will be subject to Canadian federal, provincial or territorial income tax and other tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case had the defeasance not occurred; and
     
  a certificate of one of the Company’s officers and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to defeasance have been complied with.

 

If the Company is to be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Debt Securities and not just from the Company’s covenants, the U.S. opinion must be based upon a ruling from or published by the United States Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect.

 

In addition to the delivery of the opinions described above, the following conditions must be met before the Company may exercise its defeasance option:

 

  no event of default or event that, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing for the Debt Securities of the affected series;
     
  the Company is not an “insolvent person” within the meaning of applicable bankruptcy and insolvency legislation; and
     
  other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

 

19

 

 

Modification and Waiver

 

Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made by the Company and the trustees pursuant to one or more Supplemental Indentures (a “Supplemental Indenture”) with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by the modification. However, without the consent of each holder affected, no such modification may:

 

  change the stated maturity of the principal of, premium, if any, or any instalment of interest, if any, on any Debt Security;
     
  reduce the principal, premium, if any, or rate of interest, if any, or change any obligation of the Company to pay any additional amounts;
     
  reduce the amount of principal of a debt security payable upon acceleration of its maturity or the amount provable in bankruptcy;
     
  change the place or currency of any payment;
     
  affect the holder’s right to require the Company to repurchase the Debt Securities at the holder’s option;
     
  impair the right of the holders to institute a suit to enforce their rights to payment;
     
  adversely affect any conversion or exchange right related to a series of Debt Securities;
     
  reduce the percentage of Debt Securities required to modify the Indenture or to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture; or
     
  reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities necessary to take certain actions.

 

The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all Debt Securities of that series waive, insofar as only that series is concerned, past defaults under the Indenture and compliance by the Company with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture. However, these holders may not waive a default in any payment or principal, premium if any, or interest on any Debt Security or compliance with a provision that cannot be modified without the consent of each holder affected.

 

The Company may modify the Indenture pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture without the consent of any holders to:

 

  evidence its successor under the Indenture;
     
  add covenants of the Company or surrender any right or power of the Company for the benefit of holders;
     
  add events of default;
     
  provide for unregistered securities to become registered securities under the Indenture and make other such changes to unregistered securities that in each case do not materially and adversely affect the interests of holders of outstanding Debt Securities;
     
  establish the forms of the Debt Securities as permitted by the Indenture;
     
  appoint a successor trustee under the Indenture;
     
  add provisions to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Debt Securities as long as there is no material adverse effect on the holders;
     
  cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision or make any other provisions in each case that would not materially and adversely affect the interests of holders of outstanding Debt Securities, if any; or
     
  change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture where such change takes effect when there are no Debt Securities outstanding which are entitled to the benefit of those provisions under the Indenture.

 

Governing Law

 

To the extent the Indenture is governed by the Trust Indenture Act, the Indenture and the Debt Securities will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

20

 

 

The Trustee

 

The Trustee under the Indenture or its affiliates may provide banking and other services to the Company in the ordinary course of their business.

 

The Indenture will contain certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, as long as it or any of its affiliates remains the Company’s creditor, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received on any claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee and its affiliates will be permitted to engage in other transactions with the Company. If a Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the Trust Indenture Act it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

 

Resignation and Removal of Trustee

 

A trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of the Debt Securities and a successor trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series.

 

Consent to Jurisdiction and Service

 

Under the Indenture, the Company will irrevocably appoint an authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Debt Securities or the Indenture that may be instituted in any United States federal or New York state court located in The City of New York, and will submit to such non-exclusive jurisdiction.

 

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth the consolidated capitalization of the Company as at January 31, 2021, the date of the Interim Financial Statements, adjusted to give effect to the May Offering (after deduction of the Underwriting Commission and estimated expenses). This table should be read in conjunction with the Interim Financial Statements and Interim MD&A that are incorporated by reference in this short form prospectus:

 

   As at January 31, 2021 before giving effect to the May Offering   As at January 31, 2021 after giving effect to the May Offering(1)(2) 
         
Common Shares  $66,845,949   $102,715,517 
    (71,835,238 Common Shares)    (82,762,155 Common Shares) 
Warrants  $7,076,311   $6,078,986 
    (27,897,630 warrants)    (24,040,730 warrants) 

 

 

Notes:
(1) Amounts include the exercise of an aggregate 3,856,900 warrants subsequent to January 31, 2021 and prior to the date of May Offering.
(2) Amounts include 970,017 Common Shares issued in consideration for the Royalty Acquisitions. See “Recent Developments – McArthur River and Cigar Lake Royalty Acquisitions “ in this Prospectus and “General Development of the Business – Proposed McArthur River and Cigar Lake Royalty Acquisitions” in the Annual Information Form.

 

Since January 31, 2021, the Company has also drawn down $6 million (US$5 million) under the BMO Credit Facility. See “Recent Developments – McArthur River and Cigar Lake Royalty Acquisitions”.

 

Other than as described herein, there have been no material changes in the share and loan capital of the Company, on a consolidated basis, since the date of the Interim Financial Statements.

 

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe any material change in, and the effect of such material change on, the share and loan capital of the Company that will result from the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering and sale of Securities. Among other potential uses, the Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities for general corporate purposes, including funding ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements, to repay indebtedness outstanding from time to time, for capital projects and potential for future direct or indirect acquisitions of physical uranium, royalties, streams or similar interests.

 

21

 

 

Management of the Company will retain broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds of any offering of Securities under this Prospectus and the Company’s actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on the availability and suitability of investment opportunities and its operating and capital needs from time to time. All expenses relating to an offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriting dealers or agents as the case may be, will be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of Securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

 

The Company may, from time to time, issue securities (including Securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus.

 

The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition of uranium interests. The Company had negative operating cash flow for the year ended April 30, 2020 and the nine months ended January 31, 2021. If the Company continues to have negative cash flow into the future, net proceeds may need to be allocated to fund this negative cash flow. The Company anticipates it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods until such time as the projects underlying its royalties or other future uranium interests or holdings generate revenues. Future cash flows from such interests are dependent upon the underlying projects achieving or re-commencing production. There can be no assurance that such production will ever be achieved. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Business of URC – Negative Cash Flow from Operating Activities” in the Annual Information Form.

 

PRIOR SALES

 

Information in respect of the Common Shares that were issued within the previous twelve-month period, Common Shares that were issued upon the exercise of options and restricted share rights, and in respect of the grant of options and restricted share rights will be provided as required in any applicable Prospectus Supplement.

 

TRADING PRICE AND VOLUME

 

The Company’s Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSXV in Canada and the Nasdaq in the United States under the stock symbols “URC” and “UROY”, respectively. The Company’s Listed Warrants are listed on the TSXV under the stock symbol “URC.WT”. Trading price and volume of the Common Shares and Listed Warrants will be provided as required in each Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus.

 

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIO

 

Earnings coverage ratios will be provided as required in the applicable Prospectus Supplement(s) with respect to the issuance of Debt Securities pursuant to this Prospectus.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Company may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains effective, offer for sale and issue up to an aggregate of $130,000,000 in Securities hereunder.

 

The Company may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, and may also sell directly to one or more purchasers or through agents or pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions. Each Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any commission, fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price, the proceeds that the Company will receive and any other material terms of the plan of distribution. If Securities sold pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement are acquired by underwriters for their own account, they may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase Securities will be subject to the conditions precedent agreed upon by the parties and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all Securities under that offering if any are purchased. Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company or its subsidiaries. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

 

22

 

 

The Securities may be sold, from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices (which may be changed from time to time), at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102 made through the facilities of the TSXV, the Nasdaq or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares. A description of such pricing will be disclosed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the applicable Securities. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters, dealers or agents have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters, dealers or agents will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters, dealers or agents to the Company.

 

In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Company or from other parties, including in the form of underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Company and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

 

In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities and other than in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix, stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter, agent or dealer involved in an “at-the-market distribution”, as defined in NI 44-102, no affiliate of such an underwriter, agent or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter, agent or dealer may in connection with such distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities distributed under an “at-the-market” Prospectus Supplement, including an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter, agent or dealer creating an over-allotment position in the Securities.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Company, to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act and Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. Subject to applicable laws, certain dealers may make a market in the Securities (other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants), as applicable, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurances can be given that a market for trading in Securities (other than Common Shares and Listed Warrants) of any series or issue will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market, whether or not the Securities are listed on a securities exchange.

 

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada or to an investor who is a resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Securities offered thereunder. The applicable Prospectus Supplement may also describe certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986). Investors should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

 

EXEMPTIONS

 

Pursuant to a decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers dated June 1, 2021, the Company was granted a permanent exemption from the requirement to translate into French this Prospectus as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein and any Prospectus Supplement to be filed in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution. This exemption is granted on the condition that this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement (other than in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution) be translated into French if the Company offers Securities to Québec purchasers in connection with an offering other than in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution.

 

23

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of our business and the present stage of its development. The following risk factors, as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially adversely affect our future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company, or its business, property or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of our securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein and the applicable Prospectus Supplement, you should carefully consider the risks described below as they relate to potential future offerings under this Prospectus, as well as the risks described under the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Information Form, as they relate to the business of the Company.

 

Negative Cash Flow from Operations

 

The Company had negative cash flow from operating activities in the fiscal periods since its incorporation. Given that the Company has no operating revenues, and does not anticipate generating operating revenues for the foreseeable future, all expenditures to fund operating activities must be provided by financings. There is no assurance that future financings can be completed.

 

No Assurance of Active or Liquid Market

 

No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for the Common Shares will be sustained. If an active or liquid market for the Common Shares fails to be sustained, the prices at which such Common Shares trade may be adversely affected. Whether or not the Common Shares will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including the liquidity of the Common Shares, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.

 

There is no public market for the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities or Units and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company does not intend to apply for listing of such Securities on any securities exchanges. If the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities or Units are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on prevailing interest rates (as applicable), the market for similar securities and other factors including general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts, Debt Securities or Units or that a trading market for these securities will develop.

 

Public Markets and Share Prices

 

The market price of the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV, the Nasdaq or any other stock exchange could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in the Company’s financial results, the global economy or other factors. In addition, fluctuations in the stock market may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange regardless of the financial performance of the Company. Securities markets have also experienced significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time. In some instances, these fluctuations have been unrelated or disproportionate to the financial performance of issuers. Market fluctuations may adversely impact the market price of the Common Shares and any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV or any other stock exchange. There can be no assurance of the price at which the Common Shares or any other Securities offered hereunder that become listed and posted for trading on the TSXV, the Nasdaq or any other stock exchange will trade.

 

Additional Issuances and Dilution

 

The Company may issue and sell additional securities of the Company to finance its operations or future acquisitions. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities of the Company or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price of any Securities of the Company issued and outstanding from time to time. Sales or issuances of substantial amounts of securities of the Company, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for securities of the Company issued and outstanding from time to time. With any additional sale or issuance of securities of the Company, holders will suffer dilution with respect to voting power and may experience dilution in the Company’s earnings per share. Moreover, this Prospectus may create a perceived risk of dilution resulting in downward pressure on the price of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, which could contribute to progressive declines in the prices of such securities.

 

24

 

 

Discretion Concerning the Use of Proceeds

 

Our management will have substantial discretion concerning the use of proceeds of an offering under any Prospectus Supplement as well as the timing of the expenditure of the proceeds thereof. As a result, investors will be relying on the judgment of management as to the specific application of the proceeds of any offering of Securities under any Prospectus Supplement. Management may use the net proceeds of any offering of Securities under any Prospectus Supplement in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and effectiveness of the application of the net proceeds are uncertain.

 

Different Shareholder Protections between the United States and Canada

 

We are organized and exist under the laws of Canada and, accordingly, are governed by the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”). The CBCA differs in certain material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and shareholders, including the provisions relating to interested directors, mergers and similar arrangements, takeovers, shareholders’ suits, indemnification of directors and inspection of corporation records.

 

The Company is a Foreign Private Issuer within the Meaning of the Rules under the Exchange Act, and is Exempt from Certain Provisions Applicable to United States Domestic Public Companies

 

Because we are a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

 

  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;
  the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
  the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
  the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD.

 

We are required to file an annual report on Form 40-F with the SEC within three months of the end of each fiscal year. We do not intend to voluntarily file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q in lieu of Form 40-F requirements. For so long as we choose to only comply with foreign private issuer requirements, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information which would be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

 

The Company May Be Treated as a “Passive Foreign Investment Company” under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, Which Could Result in Adverse U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Investors

 

Prospective U.S. investors should be aware that they could be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if we are classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether we are a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations, and such determination will depend on the composition of our income, expenses and assets from time to time and the nature of the activities performed by our officers and employees. Prospective U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the likelihood and consequences of the Company being treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including the advisability of making certain elections that may mitigate certain possible adverse income tax consequences but may result in an inclusion in gross income without receipt of such income.

 

Increased Indebtedness

 

The Company has debt service obligations under the BMO Credit Facility. The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important consequences to shareholders, including the ability of the Company to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions on acceptable terms. The Company’s ability to make payments on its indebtedness will depend on available cash, future cash flow, prevailing economic conditions, prevailing interest rate levels and financial, competitive, business and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. The BMO Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all the shares of Yellow Cake held by the Company, which continue to represent a significant portion of the Company’s assets. In the event of default under the facility, or upon certain triggering events relating to the market price of the Yellow Cake shares, the lender has the right to dispose of such shares. The Company may need to refinance its indebtedness and there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to refinance its debt, or is only able to refinance its debt on less favourable and/or more restrictive terms, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, and results of operations.

AUDITORS

 

Our financial statements as at April 30, 2020 and for the year then ended incorporated by reference into this Prospectus have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent auditor, as indicated in their report dated August 17, 2020, which is also incorporated by reference herein. The audited financial statements have been incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and this Prospectus in reliance on the report of the independent auditor, given on their authority as experts in auditing and accounting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have advised the board of directors of the Company that they are independent of the Company within the meaning of the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia Code of Professional Conduct and in accordance with the independence rules of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

 

Our financial statements as at April 30, 2019 and for the year then ended incorporated by reference into this Prospectus have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as indicated in their report dated August 27, 2019, which is also incorporated by reference herein, and is incorporated herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

Effective June 1, 2020, Ernst & Young LLP resigned as auditors of the Company, and the directors of the Company appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as successor auditors in their place. Ernst & Young LLP was independent in accordance with the auditor’s code of professional conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia up to the date of the Notice of Change of Auditor on June 1, 2020.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

The Company is governed by the laws of Canada and its principal place of business is outside the United States. Certain of the directors and officers of the Company are resident outside of the United States and certain of the Company’s assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States on the Company, its directors or officers, or to realize in the United States on judgments of courts of the United States predicated on civil liabilities under the U.S. Securities Act. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against the Company or such persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state within the United States or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Company or such persons predicated on the United States federal securities or any such state securities or “blue sky” laws. A final judgment for a liquidated sum in favour of a private litigant granted by a United States court and predicated solely upon civil liability under United States federal securities laws would, subject to certain exceptions identified in the law of individual provinces of Canada, likely be enforceable in Canada if the United States court in which the judgment was obtained had a basis for jurisdiction in the matter that would be recognized by the domestic Canadian court for the same purposes. There is a significant risk that a given Canadian court may not have jurisdiction or may decline jurisdiction over a claim based solely upon United States federal securities law on application of the conflict of laws principles of the province in Canada in which the claim is brought.

 

The Company filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Registration Statement, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Company appointed C T Corporation System, with an address at 28 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10005, as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Company in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of Securities under the Registration Statement.

 

CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF RESCISSION

 

Original purchasers of Securities which are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Company, including Subscription Receipts and Warrants if offered separately without any other Securities, will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of the Subscription Receipt or Warrant, as the case may be, the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus, the relevant Prospectus Supplement or an amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of such Securities under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

 

Unless provided otherwise in a Prospectus Supplement, the following is a description of a purchaser’s statutory rights of withdrawal and rescission.

 

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right must be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces and territories of Canada, securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.

 

However, purchasers of Securities distributed under an “at-the-market” distribution by the Company do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by such purchaser because the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under NI 44-102.The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

 

Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of Securities distributed under an “at-the-market” distribution by the Company may have against the Company or its agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the Prospectus, Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser containing a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the Prospectus referred to above.

 

In an offering of securities that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into other securities, purchasers are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in a prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which such securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces or territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (Canada) (the “CBCA”), we may indemnify our current or former directors or officers or any other individual who acts or acted at our request as a director or officer, or in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with us or another entity. The CBCA also provides that we may advance moneys to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding. However, the individual must repay such moneys and indemnification is prohibited under the CBCA unless the individual: (a) acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, or the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at our request; and (b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful. In the case of a derivative action, indemnification and advancement of moneys may only be made with court approval.

 

Our by-laws provide that, whenever required or permitted by the CBCA or otherwise by law, we shall indemnify each current or former director or officer or each person who acts or acted at our request as a director or officer or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, and his or her heirs and personal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, each amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of us or such other entity.

 

Our by-laws authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of each of our current or former directors or officers and each person who acts or acted at our request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity.

 

We maintain insurance policies relating to certain liabilities that our directors and officers may incur in such capacity.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
