ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

        This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-174845) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and that was declared effective by the SEC on June 24, 2011. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, offer common stock, warrants and units, of which this offering is a part.

        This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of this offering of common stock and also adds, updates and changes information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which provides more general information about our common stock and other securities that do not pertain to this offering of common stock. To the extent that the information contained in this prospectus supplement conflicts with any information in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference, the information in this prospectus supplement shall control. The information in this prospectus supplement may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference carefully before deciding whether to invest in our common stock.

        References to "our company," "we," "our" and "us" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are to Uranium Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents we have incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

        Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "expect" and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include management's expectations regarding our liquidity and burn rate, reserves and mineralized uranium material, capital requirements, timing of receipt of mining permits and access rights, production capacity of mining operations for properties in South Texas and New Mexico and planned dates for commencement of production at such properties, and plans for consolidation of the uranium mineral interests in the New Mexico uranium district. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from those in forward-looking statements because of, among other reasons, the factors described below and in the periodic reports that we file with the SEC from time to time, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and any amendments thereto. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on numerous assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but they are open to a wide range of uncertainties and business risks.

        Key factors that could cause actual results to be different than expected or anticipated include, but are not limited to:

    the price of uranium;

    availability of capital;

    operating conditions at our mining projects;

    government regulation of the mining industry and the nuclear power industry;

    the world-wide supply and demand of uranium;

    weather conditions;

    currently pending or new litigation;

    legislation and other actions by the Navajo Nation;

    timely receipt of mining and other permits from regulatory agencies; and

    the risks set forth herein under the caption "Risk Factors."

        In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are inherently unreliable and speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement, accompanying prospectus or as of the date of any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or accompanying prospectus, as applicable. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this prospectus supplement, accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus might not occur.

Table of Contents


CERTAIN DEFINITIONS

        Development:    Work carried out for the purpose of opening up a mineral deposit and making the actual ore extraction possible.

        Development Stage:    A "development stage" project is one which is undergoing preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit for its extraction but which is not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility study.

        Dollar or "$":    Unless otherwise indicated, or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus supplement to "$" or "dollar" are to the lawful currency of the United States.

        Exploration:    Work involved in searching for ore, usually by employing the science of geology and drilling or driving a drift.

        Exploration Stage:    An "exploration stage" prospect is one which is not in either the development or production stage.

        Feasibility Study:    A comprehensive study of a mineral deposit in which all geological, engineering, legal, operating, economic, social, environmental and other relevant factors are considered in sufficient detail that it could reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a financial institution to finance the development of the deposit for mineral production.

        In-situ:    Refers to materials in their natural position.

        Mineral:    A naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties.

        Mineralization:    The presence of economic minerals in a specific area or geological formation.

        Mineralized Material or Deposit:    A mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate drilling and/or underground sampling to support a sufficient tonnage and average grade of metal(s). Under SEC standards, such a deposit does not qualify as a reserve until a comprehensive evaluation, based upon unit cost, grade, recoveries, and other factors, conclude current economic feasibility to extract it.

        Production Stage:    A "production stage" project is actively engaged in the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product.

        Reclamation:    The restoration of a site to acceptable regulatory standards after mining or exploration activity is completed.

        Reserves:    That part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.

        Resource:    The calculated amount of material in a mineral deposit, based on limited drill information.

Uranium Resources Overview

        Uranium Resources, Inc. explores for and recovers uranium. The Company was organized in 1977 to acquire and develop uranium mines in South Texas using the in-situ recovery mining process ("ISR"). Since its founding, the Company has produced over 8 million pounds of U3O8 from five Texas projects, two of which have been fully restored and returned to the land owners. The Company currently has two fully licensed ISR processing facilities in Texas: Kingsville Dome and Rosita. Since 1986, the Company has built a significant asset base in New Mexico that includes over 206,000 acres of uranium mineral holdings. We have a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") license to build a 3 million pound U3O8 per year ISR processing facility at Crownpoint, New Mexico. As a result of low uranium prices, we ceased production in 2009.

        Our principal executive offices are located at 6950 South Potomac St., Suite 300, Centennial, CO 80112, and our telephone number is (303) 531-0470. Our website is located at www.uraniumresources.com. Information contained on our website or that can be accessed through our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

        For additional information as to our business, properties and financial condition, please refer to the documents cited in "Where You Can Find More Information."


Recent Developments

At-The-Market Sales

        In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement ("ATM Sales Agreement") with BTIG, LLC, allowing it to sell from time to time shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15.0 million through an "at-the-market" equity offering program. In January 2014, the Company sold 523,350 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million. As of February 6, 2014, approximately $7.1 million remained available for future sales under the ATM Sales Agreement. Following this offering, the Company estimates that General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 will limit future sales under the ATM Sales Agreement to approximately $6.2 million.

Navajo Access Update

        On December 23, 2013, the Navajo Nation Council Resources and Development Committee ("NNRDC") acknowledged the right-of-way and surface use of the Company at its Churchrock properties licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The right of way and surface and mineral access rights were granted in a 1929 Deed by the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad, and were passed to the Company as the successor in interest to the 1929 Deed. The NNRDC also authorized the creation of a Subcommittee to work with the Navajo Nation Executive Director of the Natural Resources Division and the Department of Justice, along with representatives of the Company, to consider the

terms of an agreement that results in mutual gains for both the Navajo Nation and the Company, considering the right of way and surface use granted in the 1929 Deed.

RCF Loan Agreement

        On November 13, 2013, the Company and its largest stockholder, Resource Capital Fund V L.P. ("RCF") entered into a Loan Agreement (the "RCF Loan Agreement") whereby RCF agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the RCF Loan Agreement, to provide a secured convertible loan facility of up to $15.0 million to the Company. The RCF Loan Agreement provides for three tranches of $5.0 million each. RCF advanced the first $3.0 million of the first $5.0 million tranche shortly following the closing of the RCF Loan Agreement in November 2013. On January 29, 2014, the Company's stockholders approved the RCF Loan Agreement and the issuance of shares by the Company thereunder. Following such approval, RCF advanced the remaining $2.0 million of the first tranche to the Company. Two additional tranches of $5.0 million each are available between April 15, 2014 and June 30, 2014 and between July 15, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively, at the election of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the RCF Loan Agreement.

RISK FACTORS

        An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The market or trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks. In addition, please read "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus supplement, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. Please note that additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and operations.

Risks Related to Our Business

    We may not have sufficient cash to fund our operations through December 31, 2014, and if we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail and stockholders may lose their entire investment.

        We had approximately $2.0 million in cash at September 30, 2013 and approximately $3.1 million as of February 6, 2014. On average, the Company expended approximately $1.35 million of cash per month during 2013 and expects to spend $1.0 million per month during the balance of 2014. We currently do not have sufficient cash to fund our operations through December 31, 2014 and we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations through December 31, 2014 and beyond.

        Additional financing may come in the form of an offering of common stock or other securities, sales of common stock pursuant to ATM Sales Agreement or borrowings from a bank or one of our stockholders, under the RCF Loan Agreement or otherwise. If additional shares are issued to raise capital, our existing stockholders will suffer dilution to their stock ownership and the value of our outstanding shares may fall. If we borrow more money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. Our ability to obtain additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including the market price of uranium, market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and investor sentiment. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed, or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

        If additional capital is not available in sufficient amounts or on a timely basis, the Company will experience liquidity problems in the near future, and the Company could face the need to significantly curtail current operations, change our planned business strategies and pursue other remedial measures. Any curtailment of business operations would have a material negative effect on operating results, the value of our outstanding stock is likely to fall, and our business may fail, causing our stockholder to lose their entire investment.

    The Company is not producing uranium at this time. As a result, we currently have no sources of operating cash. If we cannot monetize certain existing Company assets, partner with another company that has cash resources, find other means of generating revenue other than uranium production and/or access additional sources of private or public capital, we may not be able to remain in business.

        As a result of low uranium prices, we ceased production of uranium in 2009. While we have approximately 664,000 pounds of reserves at our South Texas properties, we are not planning to commence production at any of our South Texas properties until we are able to acquire additional reserves or mineralized material and uranium prices recover to levels that will ensure that production, once resumed, is sustainable in the 300,000 to 500,000 pound range per year. Our ability to begin plant construction and wellfield development in New Mexico is subject to availability of financing and activation of our permits and licenses. In addition, we expect that we will need to secure significant

S-4


Table of Contents

capital for the development of our Churchrock project in advance of beginning development activities on the project. We do not have a committed source of financing for the development of our Churchrock project. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing for this project or our other New Mexico projects. Our inability to develop the New Mexico properties would have a material adverse effect on our future operations.

        Until we begin uranium production we have no way to generate cash inflows unless we monetize certain Company assets or through financing activities. Our future uranium production, cash flow and income are dependent upon the results of exploration as well as our ability to bring on new, as yet unidentified wellfields and to acquire and develop additional reserves. We can provide no assurance that our properties will be placed into production or that we will be able to continue to find, develop, acquire and finance additional reserves. If we cannot monetize certain existing Company assets, partner with another company that has cash resources, find other means of generating revenue other than uranium production and/or access additional sources of private or public capital, we may not be able to remain in business and our stockholders may lose their entire investment.

        Our ability to function as an operating mining company will be dependent on our ability to mine our properties at a profit sufficient to finance further mining activities and for the acquisition and development of additional properties. The volatility of uranium prices makes long-range planning uncertain and raising capital difficult.

        We have deferred activities for exploration, delineation and development of new wellfields at all of our South Texas projects. This decision limits our ability to be immediately ready to begin production should uranium prices improve suddenly. Our ability to operate on a positive cash flow basis will be dependent on mining sufficient quantities of uranium at a profit sufficient to finance our operations and for the acquisition and development of additional mining properties. Any profit will necessarily be dependent upon, and affected by, the long and short term market prices of uranium, which are subject to significant fluctuation. Uranium prices have been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing and consuming countries, uranium supply from secondary sources and uranium production levels and costs of production. A significant, sustained drop in uranium prices may make it impossible to operate URI's business at a level that will permit us to cover our fixed costs or to remain in operation.

    The Navajo Nation's ban on uranium mining in what it considers to be Navajo Indian Country and its opposition to the transportation of radioactive substances over and across what it views as Navajo Nation lands may have a material adverse effect on our future operations.

        In April 2005, the Navajo Nation ("Nation") Council passed the Diné Natural Resources Protection Act of 2005, 18 Navajo Nation Code §1303, which prohibits uranium mining and processing on any sites within "Navajo Indian Country" as defined by 7 Navajo Nation Code § 254(A). The ban may impede or prevent us from developing and operating our properties located in federally defined Indian Country for two reasons. First, the Navajo Nation takes a more expansive view of its own jurisdiction over "Navajo Indian Country" than does current federal law. Specifically, 7 N.N.C. § 254(A) provides that the term "Navajo Indian Country" applies to all land within the exterior boundaries of the Navajo Indian Reservation or of the Eastern Navajo Agency, Navajo Indian allotments, dependent Indian communities, and all land held in trust for, owned in fee by, or leased by the United States to the Navajo Nation. This may conflict with federal law as codified by Congress and interpreted by the federal courts. The term "Indian Country" is derived from jurisdictional determinations in criminal law enforcement proceedings under the federal Indian Countrystatute, 18 U.S.C. § 1151, and understood to encompass territory situated within Indian reservations, land owned by Indian Allottees, and land within a dependent Indian community. Second, while the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has specifically held, en banc, that the Company's Section 8

S-5


Table of Contents

property in Churchrock, New Mexico is not Indian Country, approximately 32.5% of our in-place mineralized uranium material is located elsewhere in federally defined Indian Country. Consequently, with respect to the Navajo Nation, our ability to mine will be adversely affected unless Navajo law is modified or a waiver or other exemption is provided.

        In February 2012, the Navajo Nation Council passed The Radioactive and Related Substances, Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act of 2012 which would prohibit the transport across Nation lands of any equipment, vehicles, persons or materials for the purposes of exploring for or mining, producing, processing or milling any uranium ore, yellowcake, radioactive waste or other radioactive products on or under the surface of or adjacent to Nation lands unless the transporter has first (i) obtained Nation consent and a federal grant of easement, (ii) consented to full subject matter and personal jurisdiction of the Nation, and (iii) agreed to terms and conditions regarding clean-up and remediation. The Act would also require the Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency ("NNEPA") to promulgate regulations implementing notice requirements, license fees, bonding requirements, route restrictions and curfews for the transportation of radioactive substances over and across Nation lands or otherwise within Navajo Indian Country. The Act, which may conflict with federal laws and regulations governing the transport of radioactive materials, could have a material adverse effect on our future operations, including our ability to transport equipment and personnel to and from our properties and to transport resin from New Mexico to our processing facilities in Texas.

        In April 2012, the Nation's Division of Natural Resources issued a Notice of Violation and Order to Comply with the Navajo Nation Civil Trespass Act (the "NOV") against the Company's subsidiary Hydro Resources, Inc. ("HRI"). The NOV assessed a $50 civil assessment for alleged trespass on Section 9, Township 16 North, Range 16 West, N.M.P.M. ("Section 9"), which is land held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Nation ("Trust Lands"). The NOV stated that HRI's Section 8 Churchrock property cannot be reached from New Mexico State Highway 566 without crossing either Section 9 or Section 17, both of which are Trust Lands, and that the Highway 566 right-of-way does not abut or extend into the Section 8 Churchrock property. The NOV demanded that HRI cease entering upon and crossing Section 9 and Section 17 for the purpose of transporting vehicles, equipment and/or personnel to the Section 8 Churchrock property until HRI either (i) provided documentation of a validly existing right-of-way or easement; or (ii) obtained an appropriate right-of-way from the Nation.

        On December 23, 2013, the Navajo Nation Council Resources and Development Committee ("NNRDC") acknowledged the right-of-way and surface use of the Company at its Churchrock properties licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The right of way and surface and mineral access rights were granted in a 1929 Deed by the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad, and were passed to the Company as the successor in interest to the 1929 Deed. The NNRDC also authorized the creation of a Subcommittee to work with the Navajo Nation Executive Director of the Natural Resources Division and the Department of Justice, along with representatives of the Company, to consider the terms of an agreement that results in mutual gains for both the Navajo Nation and the Company, considering the right of way and surface use granted in the 1929 Deed.

        If further agreement with the Nation is not reached, our development plan could be materially adversely affected.

    Approximately 32.3% of our common stock is controlled by a significant stockholder that may acquire additional shares.

        As of February 6, 2014, approximately 32.3% of our common stock is beneficially owned by RCF. In addition, under the terms of the RCF Loan Agreement, RCF has the right to acquire an additional 1.9 million shares of our common stock upon conversion of the $5.0 million currently drawn under the Loan Agreement, which would increase RCF's ownership to 38.1% of our common stock. If the

S-6


Table of Contents

Company were to draw the entire $15.0 million available under the RCF Loan Agreement and RCF were to convert such amount into shares of our common stock, and elect for the Company to satisfy interest and fees under the RCF Loan Agreement by the issuance of shares, the Company anticipates that RCF's ownership in the Company would increase to approximately 50.2%. RCF could also receive a significant number of additional shares if we were to sell equity or equity-linked securities in the year following the closing of the RCF Loan Agreement at a price below RCF's conversion price. In addition, under a stockholders' agreement between RCF and the Company, RCF is entitled to have two designees placed in nomination for a seat on the Company's Board of Directors, and RCF has the right to participate in future equity offerings by the Company in proportion to its percentage ownership (assuming conversion of amounts drawn under the RCF Loan Agreement) of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

        Because of RCF's ownership of URI common stock, RCF has the ability to exercise a substantial degree of control over matters requiring stockholder approval. Those matters include the election of directors, amendments to the certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult without the support of RCF, including transactions in which other stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market price. In addition, RCF could privately sell control of the Company without other stockholders realizing any change-of-control premium. RCF may also have other interests that are different from, in addition to or not always consistent with the Company's interests or with the interests of other stockholders.

    Certain of our mineral properties may be subject to defects in title and we are at risk of loss of ownership.

        Many of our mining properties are unpatented mining claims to which we have only possessory title. The validity of unpatented mining claims is often uncertain and such validity is always subject to contest. Unpatented mining claims are generally considered subject to greater title risk than patented mining claims or other real property interests that are owned in fee simple. Because unpatented mining claims are self-initiated and self-maintained, they possess some unique vulnerabilities not associated with other types of property interests. It is impossible to ascertain the validity of unpatented mining claims from public real property records, and therefore it can be difficult or impossible to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location, perfection and maintenance of an unpatented mining claim. The present status of our unpatented mining claims located on public lands allows us the exclusive right to mine and remove locatable minerals, such as uranium. We are also allowed to use the surface of the land solely for purposes related to mining and processing the mineral-bearing ores. However, legal ownership of the public land remains with the federal government. We remain at risk that the mining claims may be lost either to the federal government or to rival private claimants due to failure to comply with statutory requirements. In addition, we may not have, or may not be able to obtain, all necessary surface rights to develop a property.

        We may incur significant costs related to defending the title to our properties. A successful claim contesting our title to a property may cause us to compensate other persons or perhaps reduce our interest in the affected property or lose our rights to explore and develop that property. This could result in us not being compensated for our prior expenditures relating to the property.

    Exploration and development of uranium properties are risky and subject to great uncertainties.

        The exploration for and development of uranium deposits involve significant risks. It is impossible to ensure that the current and future exploration programs on our existing properties will establish reserves. Whether a uranium ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity

to infrastructure; uranium prices, which cannot be predicted and which have been highly volatile in the past; mining, processing and transportation costs; perceived levels of political risk and the willingness of lenders and investors to provide project financing; availability of labor, labor costs and possible labor strikes; availability of drilling rigs, and governmental regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting materials, foreign exchange, environmental protection, employment, worker safety, transportation, and reclamation and closure obligations. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of uranium and there can be no assurance that any of our exploration stage properties will be commercially mineable or can be brought into production.

    The developments at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan continue to have a negative impact on the uranium markets and public acceptance of nuclear energy is uncertain.

        The developments at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant following the earthquake and tsunami that struck parts of Japan in March 2011 created heightened concerns regarding the safety of nuclear power plants and the ability to safeguard the material used to fuel nuclear power plants. The impact on the perception of the safety of nuclear power resulting from this event may cause increased volatility of uranium prices in the near to mid-term as well as uncertainty involving the continued use and expansion of nuclear power in certain countries. A reduction in the current or the future generation of electricity from nuclear power could result in a reduced requirement for uranium to fuel nuclear power plants which may negatively impact the Company in the future.

        Maintaining the demand for uranium at current levels and future growth in demand will depend upon acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. The developments at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant may affect public acceptance of nuclear technology. Lack of public acceptance of nuclear technology would adversely affect the demand for nuclear power and potentially increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry.

    The only significant market for uranium is nuclear power plants world-wide, and there are a limited number of customers.

        We are dependent on a limited number of electric utilities that buy uranium for nuclear power plants. Because of the limited market for uranium, a reduction in purchases of newly produced uranium by electric utilities for any reason (such as plant closings) would adversely affect the viability of our business.

    The price of alternative energy sources affects the demand for and price of uranium.

        The attractiveness of uranium as an alternative fuel to generate electricity may be dependent on the relative prices of oil, gas, coal, and hydro-electricity and the possibility of developing other low-cost sources of energy. If the prices of alternative energy sources decrease or new low-cost alternative energy sources are developed, the demand for uranium could decrease, which may result in a decrease in the price of uranium.

    We may not be able to mine a substantial portion of our uranium in New Mexico until a mill is built in New Mexico.

        A substantial portion of our uranium in New Mexico lends itself most readily to conventional mining methods and may not be able to be mined unless a mill is built in New Mexico. We have no immediate plans to build, nor are we aware of any third party's plan to build, a mill in New Mexico and there can be no guarantee that a mill will be built. In the event that a mill is not built, a substantial portion of our uranium may not be able to be mined. Our inability to mine all or a portion of our uranium in New Mexico would have a material adverse effect on future operations.

    Our operations are each subject to environmental risks.

        We are required to comply with environmental protection laws, regulations and permitting requirements, and we anticipate that we will be required to continue to do so in the future. We have expended significant resources, both financial and managerial, to comply with environmental protection laws, regulations and permitting requirements and we anticipate that we will be required to continue to do so in the future. The material laws and regulations within the U.S. include the Atomic Energy Act, Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978, or UMTRCA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Federal Land Policy Management Act, National Park System Mining Regulations Act, the State Mined Land Reclamation Acts or State Department of Environmental Quality regulations and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the rules and regulations of the NNEPA, as applicable.

        We are required to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, as amended by UMTRCA, by applying for and maintaining an operating license from the NRC and the state of Texas. Uranium operations must conform to the terms of such licenses, which include provisions for protection of human health and the environment from endangerment due to radioactive materials. The licenses encompass protective measures consistent with the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. Mining operations may be subject to other laws administered by the USEPA and other agencies.

        The uranium industry is subject not only to the worker health and safety and environmental risks associated with all mining businesses, but also to additional risks uniquely associated with uranium mining and milling. The possibility of more stringent regulations exists in the areas of worker health and safety, storage of hazardous materials, standards for heavy equipment used in mining or milling, the disposition of wastes, the decommissioning and reclamation of exploration, mining and ISR sites, climate change and other environmental matters, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the cost or the viability of a particular project.

        We cannot predict what environmental legislation, regulation or policy will be enacted or adopted in the future or how future laws and regulations will be administered or interpreted. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation, generally, is toward stricter standards, and this trend is likely to continue in the future. This recent trend includes, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to air and water quality, mine reclamation, waste handling and disposal, the protection of certain species and the preservation of certain lands. These regulations may require the acquisition of permits or other authorizations for certain activities. These laws and regulations may also limit or prohibit activities on certain lands. Compliance with more stringent laws and regulations, as well as potentially more vigorous enforcement policies or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may necessitate significant capital outlays, may materially affect our results of operations and business or may cause material changes or delays to our intended activities.

        Our operations may require additional analysis in the future including environmental, cultural and social impact and other related studies. Certain activities require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers, and employees. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to continue our operation or exploration of our properties or, if feasible, to commence development, construction or operation of mining facilities at such properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs. If we are unable to obtain or maintain permits or water rights for development of our properties or otherwise fail to manage adequately future environmental issues, our operations could be materially and adversely affected.

    Mine closure and remediation costs for environmental liabilities may exceed the provisions we have made.

        Natural resource companies are required to close their operations and rehabilitate the lands that they mine in accordance with a variety of environmental laws and regulations. Estimates of the total ultimate closure and rehabilitation costs for uranium mining operations are significant and based principally on current legal and regulatory requirements and mine closure plans that may change materially. Any underestimated or unanticipated rehabilitation costs could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Environmental liabilities are accrued when they become known, are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Whenever a previously unrecognized remediation liability becomes known, or a previously estimated reclamation cost is increased, the amount of that liability and additional cost will be recorded at that time and could materially reduce our consolidated net income in the related period.

        The laws and regulations governing mine closure and remediation in a particular jurisdiction are subject to review at any time and may be amended to impose additional requirements and conditions which may cause our provisions for environmental liabilities to be underestimated and could materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

    Because mineral exploration and development activities are inherently risky, we may be exposed to environmental liabilities and other dangers. If we are unable to maintain adequate insurance, or liabilities exceed the limits of our insurance policies, we may be unable to continue operations.

        The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into production. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labor disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor are other risks involved in extraction operations and the conduct of exploration programs. Previous mining operations may have caused environmental damage at certain of our properties. It may be difficult or impossible to assess the extent to which such damage was caused by us or by the activities of previous operators, in which case, any indemnities and exemptions from liability may be ineffective. If any of our properties are found to have commercial quantities of uranium, we would be subject to additional risks respecting any development and production activities.

        Although we carry liability insurance with respect to our mineral exploration operations, we may become subject to liability for damage to life and property, environmental damage, cave-ins or hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure because of cost or other business reasons. In addition, the insurance industry is undergoing change and premiums are being increased. If we are unable to procure adequate insurance because of cost, unavailability or otherwise, we might be forced to cease operations.

    Reserve and other mineralized material calculations are estimates only, and are subject to uncertainty due to factors including the price of uranium, inherent variability of the ore and recoverability of uranium in the mining process.

        The calculation of reserves, other mineralized material and grading are estimates and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences or assumptions drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unpredictable. There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of reserves, mineralized material and corresponding grades. Until reserves and other mineralized materials are actually mined and processed, the quantity of ore and grades must be considered as an estimate only. In addition, the quantity of reserves and other mineralized materials and ore may vary depending on the price of uranium. Any material change in the quantity of reserves, other mineralized materials, mineralization or grade may affect the economic viability of our properties.

    Our inability to obtain financial surety would threaten our ability to continue in business.

        Future financial surety requirements to comply with federal and state environmental and remediation requirements and to secure necessary licenses and approvals will increase significantly as future development and production occurs at certain of our sites in Texas and New Mexico. The amount of the financial surety for each producing property is subject to annual review and revision by regulators. We expect that the issuer of the financial surety instruments will require us to provide cash collateral for a significant amount of the face amount of the bond to secure the obligation. In the event we are not able to raise, secure or generate sufficient funds necessary to satisfy these requirements, we will be unable to develop our sites and bring them into production, which inability will have a material adverse impact on our business and may negatively affect our ability to continue to operate.

    Competition from better-capitalized companies affects prices and both our ability to acquire properties and personnel.

        There is global competition for uranium properties, capital, customers and the employment and retention of qualified personnel. In the production and marketing of uranium, there are a number of producing entities, some of which are government controlled and all of which are significantly larger and better capitalized than we are. Many of these organizations also have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and distribution resources than we have.

        Our future uranium production will also compete with uranium recovered from the de-enrichment of highly enriched uranium obtained from the dismantlement of United States and Russian nuclear weapons and imports to the United States of uranium from the former Soviet Union and from the sale of uranium inventory held by the United States Department of Energy. In addition, there are numerous entities in the market that compete with us for properties and are attempting to become licensed to operate ISR and/or underground mining facilities. If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, capital, customers or employees or alternative uranium sources, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.

    Because we have limited capital, inherent mining risks pose a significant threat to us compared with our larger competitors.

        Because we have limited capital we may be unable to withstand significant losses that can result from inherent risks associated with mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, flooding, earthquake, interruptions due to weather conditions and other acts of nature which larger competitors could withstand. Such risks could result in damage to or destruction of our infrastructure and production facilities, as well as to adjacent properties, personal injury, environmental damage and processing and production delays, causing monetary losses and possible legal liability. Our business could be harmed if we lose the services of our key personnel.

        Our business and mineral exploration programs depend upon our ability to employ the services of geologists, engineers and other experts. In operating our business and in order to continue our programs, we compete for the services of professionals with other mineral exploration companies and businesses. In addition, several entities have expressed an interest in hiring certain of our employees. Our ability to maintain and expand our business and continue our exploration programs may be impaired if we are unable to continue to employ or engage those parties currently providing services and expertise to us or identify and engage other qualified personnel to do so in their place. To retain key employees, we may face increased compensation costs, including potential new stock incentive grants and there can be no assurance that the incentive measures we implement will be successful in helping us retain our key personnel.

Risks Related to the Offering and our Common Stock

    The availability for sale of a large amount of shares may depress the market price of URI's common stock.

        As of February 6, 2014, approximately 20.5 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, all of which, except for the shares owned by RCF, are freely transferable. As of February 6, 2014, approximately 0.3 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, 0.3 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of amounts outstanding under the RCF Loan Agreement. The availability for sale of a large amount of shares by any one or several stockholders may depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the public sale of our common stock. We have has no arrangement with any of the holders of the foregoing shares to address the possible effect on the price of our common stock of the sale by them of their shares.

    Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact our stockholders.

        In order to finance our future production plans and working capital needs, we may have to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders' rights and the value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced. A financing could involve one or more types of securities including common stock, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our common stock. We currently have no authorized preferred stock. In addition, if we have to issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of stockholders until the debt is paid. Interest on these debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted.

    Shareholders could be diluted if we were to use common stock to raise capital.

        We may need to seek additional capital to carry our business plan. This financing could involve one or more types of securities including common stock, convertible debt or warrants to acquire common stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our common stock. Any issuance of additional shares of our common stock could be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

    You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

        Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 3,960,000 shares of common stock in this offering, and based on a public offering price of $2.60 per share in this offering and a pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock of $1.69 as of September 30, 2013, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.80 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock purchased. See "Dilution" for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in connection with this offering.

DILUTION

        Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2013 was approximately $33.5 million, or approximately $1.69 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value represents total tangible assets less total liabilities. Net tangible book value per share represents net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

        Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering. After giving effect to the sale of 3,960,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at the public offering price of $2.60 per share, and after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock at September 30, 2013 would have been approximately $50.2 million, or $1.80 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value per share of our common stock of approximately $0.11 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $0.80 per share to purchasers in this offering. The following table illustrates this per-share dilution:

Public offering price per share

        $ 2.60  

Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2013

  $ 1.69

        $ 1.80  
             

Dilution per share to new investors

        $ 0.80  
             
             

        The foregoing table is based on 19,820,258 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2013, which excludes, as of that date:

    309,479 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options;

    314,983 shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units; and

    1,923,077 shares issuable upon conversion of amounts under the RCF Loan Agreement.

        To the extent any of the restricted stock units vest or any of the options are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. Additionally, to the extent RCF elects to convert any amounts drawn under the RCF Loan Agreement, there will be further dilution to new investors. The RCF Loan Agreement also contains customary anti-dilution provisions, which may result in the conversion rate for amounts drawn under the RCF Loan Agreement to decrease, resulting in additional dilution to investors.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

Common Stock

        In this offering, we are offering 3,960,000 shares of our common stock. The following description does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are incorporated by reference.

        Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of February 5, 2014, there were 20.5 million shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, all of which are fully paid and non-assessable. There are approximately 0.3 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, 0.3 million shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units, and 0.9 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Under the RCF Loan Agreement, RCF may convert the $5.0 million drawn thereunder into approximately 1.9 million shares of our common stock at any time.

        Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote for all purposes and cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of more than fifty percent of all of the outstanding shares of our common stock can elect all of the directors. Matters to be voted upon by the holders of our common stock require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a shareholders meeting at which a quorum is present.

        There are no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights pertaining to our common stock. The absence of preemptive rights could result in a dilution of the interest of existing shareholders should additional shares of common stock be issued. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of assets legally available and to share ratably in our assets upon liquidation.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

        Corporate Stock Transfer, Denver, Colorado is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This prospectus and the documents we have incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

        Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "expect" and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include management's expectations regarding our liquidity and burn rate, reserves and mineralized uranium material, timing of receipt of mining permits, production capacity of mining operations planned for properties in South Texas and New Mexico dates for commencement of production at such properties and plans for the consolidation of the uranium mineral interests in the New Mexico uranium district. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from those in forward-looking statements because of, among other reasons, the factors described below and in the periodic reports that we file with the SEC from time to time, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and any amendments thereto. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on numerous assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but they are open to a wide range of uncertainties and business risks.

        Key factors that could cause actual results to be different than expected or anticipated include, but are not limited to:

    the price of uranium;

    weather conditions;

    operating conditions at our mining projects;

    government regulation of the mining industry and the nuclear power industry;

    the world-wide supply and demand of uranium;

    availability of capital;

    timely receipt of mining and other permits from regulatory agencies; and

    the risks set forth herein under the caption "Risk Factors."

        In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or as of the date of any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as applicable. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus might not occur.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the general discussion of risk factors set forth in the material set forth under the caption "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K, and any amendments thereto, before making your investment decision, as well as those contained in any filing with the Commission subsequent to the date of this prospectus. Those risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently judge to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the aforementioned risks or other material actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

        The factors identified below are important factors (but not necessarily all of the important factors) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Where any such forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying such forward-looking statement, we caution that, while we believe such assumptions or bases to be reasonable and make them in good faith, assumed facts or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending upon the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, the Company, or its management, expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will result, or be achieved or accomplished. Taking into account the foregoing, the following are identified as important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by, or on behalf of, the Company.


General Risks and Uncertainties

         Operations history

        The Company has not had any operating mines in Texas since 2009, and does not plan to return to production until uranium prices recover. In New Mexico, the Churchrock project is currently being delayed due to depressed uranium prices. In South Texas, our Vasquez project was mined out in 2008 and is now being restored. Rosita production was shut-in in October 2008 due to depressed pricing and technical challenges in the first new wellfield that made mining uneconomical. The decline in uranium prices throughout 2008 also led to a decision in October 2008 to defer new wellfield development at Rosita and Kingsville Dome. Production continued in two existing wellfields at Kingsville Dome and was completed in July 2009.

         We are not producing uranium at this time, nor do we expect to begin production in the near future unless uranium prices recover to a profitable level. As a result, we currently have no sources of operating cash. If we cannot monetize certain existing Company assets, partner with another company that has cash resources, find other means of generating revenue other than uranium production and/or have the ability to access additional sources of private or public capital we may not be able to remain in business.

        We will not commence production at our existing properties until uranium prices recover to a profitable level. Until uranium prices recover we will have no way to generate cash inflows unless we monetize certain Company assets or find other means to generate cash. In addition, our Vasquez project has been depleted of its economically recoverable reserves and our Rosita and Kingsville Dome projects have limited identified economically recoverable reserves. Our future uranium production, cash flow and income are dependent upon the results of exploration at the Los Finados property as well as our ability to bring on new, as yet unidentified wellfields and to acquire and develop additional

Table of Contents

reserves. We can provide no assurance that our properties will be placed into production or that we will be able to continue to find, develop, acquire and finance additional reserves.

         Our ability to function as an operating mining company will be dependent on our ability to mine our properties at a profit sufficient to finance further mining activities and for the acquisition and development of additional properties. The volatility of uranium prices makes long-range planning uncertain and raising capital difficult.

        In addition to ceasing all production, we have deferred activities for delineation and development of new wellfields at all of our South Texas projects except for the Los Finados project. This decision limits our ability to be immediately ready to begin production should uranium prices improve suddenly. Our ability to operate on a positive cash flow basis will be dependent on mining sufficient quantities of uranium at a profit sufficient to finance our operations and for the acquisition and development of additional mining properties. Any profit will necessarily be dependent upon, and affected by, the long and short term market prices of uranium, which are subject to significant fluctuation. Uranium prices have been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the demand for nuclear power, political and economic conditions in uranium producing and consuming countries, uranium supply from secondary sources and uranium production levels and costs of production. A significant, sustained drop in uranium prices may make it impossible to operate our business at a level that will permit us to cover our fixed costs or to remain in operation.

         We may need to obtain additional financing in order to implement our business plan, and the inability to obtain it could cause our business plan to fail.

        As of May 31, 2011, we had approximately $9.6 million in cash. We may require additional financing in order to complete our plan of operations. We may not be able to obtain all of the financing we require. Our ability to obtain additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including the market price of uranium, market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. In recognition of current economic conditions and the shut-down of production, we have significantly reduced our spending, delayed or cancelled planned activities and substantially changed our current corporate structure. However, these actions may not be sufficient to offset the detrimental effects of the weak economy and cessation of production, which could result in material adverse effects on our business, revenues, operating results and prospects.

         Exploration and development of uranium properties are risky and subject to great uncertainties.

        The exploration for and development of uranium deposits involves significant risks. It is impossible to ensure that the current and future exploration programs and/or feasibility studies on our existing properties will establish reserves. Whether a uranium ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; uranium prices, which cannot be predicted and which have been highly volatile in the past; mining, processing and transportation costs; perceived levels of political risk and the willingness of lenders and investors to provide project financing; labor costs and possible labor strikes; and governmental regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting materials, foreign exchange, environmental protection, employment, worker safety, transportation, and reclamation and closure obligations. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of uranium and there can be no assurance that any of our exploration stage properties will be commercially mineable or can be brought into production.

         Potential impact on the uranium markets of the developments at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.

        The developments at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant following the earthquake and tsunami that struck parts of Japan have created heightened concerns regarding the safety of nuclear power plants and the ability to safeguard the material used to fuel nuclear power plants. The potential impact on the perception of the safety of nuclear power resulting from this event may cause increased volatility of uranium prices in the near to mid-term as well as uncertainty involving the continued use and expansion of nuclear power in certain countries. A reduction in the current or the future generation of electricity from nuclear power could result in a reduced requirement for uranium to fuel nuclear power plants which may negatively impact the Company in the future.

         The only market for uranium is nuclear power plants world-wide, and there are a limited number of customers.

        We are dependent on a limited number of electric utilities that buy uranium for nuclear power plants. Because of the limited market for uranium, a reduction in purchases of newly produced uranium by electric utilities for any reason (such as plant closings) would adversely affect the viability of our business.

         The price of alternative energy sources affects the demand for and price of uranium.

        The attractiveness of uranium as an alternative fuel to generate electricity may to some degree be dependent on the relative prices of oil, gas, coal, and hydro-electricity and the possibility of developing other low cost sources for energy. If the price of alternative energy sources decrease or new low-cost alternative energy sources are developed, the demand for uranium could decrease, which may result in the decrease in the price of uranium.

         Public acceptance of nuclear energy is uncertain.

        Maintaining the demand for uranium at current levels and future growth in demand will depend upon acceptance of nuclear technology as a means of generating electricity. The developments at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant may affect public acceptance of nuclear technology. Lack of public acceptance of nuclear technology would adversely affect the demand for nuclear power and potentially increase the regulation of the nuclear power industry.

         We may not be able to mine a substantial portion of our uranium in New Mexico until a mill is built in New Mexico.

        A substantial portion of our uranium in New Mexico lends itself most readily to conventional mining methods and may not be able to be mined unless a mill is built in New Mexico. We have no immediate plans to build, nor are we aware of any third party's plan to build, a mill in New Mexico and there can be no guaranty that a mill will be built. In the event that a mill is not built a substantial portion of our uranium may not be able to be mined. Our inability to mine all or a portion of our uranium in New Mexico would have a material adverse effect on future operations.

         We do not have a committed source of financing for the development of our New Mexico Properties, including the Churchrock Property, which is the property we expect to develop first in New Mexico.

        With the election by Itochu to terminate the Churchrock Joint Venture we do not have a committed source of financing for the development of our Churchrock property. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing for this project or our other New Mexico projects. Our inability to develop the New Mexico properties would have a material adverse effect on our future operations.

         The Navajo Nation ban on uranium mining in Indian Country encompasses approximately 49% of our in place mineralized uranium material on our properties in New Mexico and will adversely affect our ability to mine unless the ban is overturned.

        In April 2005, the Navajo Nation Council passed the Diné Natural Resources Protection Act of 2005 prohibiting uranium mining and processing on any sites within Indian Country as defined under 18 U.S.C. § 1151. We believe that the ban is beyond the jurisdiction of the Navajo Nation. However, the ban may prevent us from developing and operating our properties located in Indian Country. While the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit held, en banc, that the Company's Section 8 property in Churchrock, New Mexico is not Indian Country, approximately 49% of our in place mineralized uranium material is located in Indian Country. The term "Indian Country" is derived from jurisdictional determinations in criminal law enforcement proceedings under 18 U.S.C. § 1151 and understood to encompass territory situated within Indian reservations, land owned by Indian allottees and land within a dependent Indian community.

         Because we are not currently producing uranium we have limited liquidity.

        We had $15.4 million in cash at year-end 2010 and had approximately $9.6 million at the end of May 2011. In early 2010 the Company adopted a new strategic plan which emphasized cash preservation and maintaining liquidity to allow the Company to be in a position to resume uranium production when sustained prices support such activity. As part of this plan the Company completed financings that we believe will provide sufficient working capital for the Company to maintain its liquidity into 2012. The Company expects to raise additional capital in 2011 through a financing transaction, the monetization of certain assets in Texas, or other means. Absent the ability to complete one or more of these actions the Company could need to implement significant cost cutting measures designed to maintain the Company's liquidity. While the Company believes it will be successful in its capital raising efforts, there can be no assurance that such activities will result in the raising of sufficient funds to allow the Company to continue operations beyond 2011. However, we do project that with the cash on hand at May 31, 2011 we will be able to maintain our liquidity through April 2012. At such time, additional sources of cash will be required to maintain our liquidity.

         Our operations are subject to environmental risks.

        We are required to comply with environmental protection laws and regulations and permitting requirements, and we anticipate that we will be required to continue to do so in the future. We have expended significant resources, both financial and managerial, to comply with environmental protection laws, regulations and permitting requirements and we anticipate that we will be required to continue to do so in the future. The material laws and regulations within the U.S. that the Company must comply with include the Atomic Energy Act, Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978, or UMTRCA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Safe Drinking Water Act, Federal Land Policy Management Act, National Park System Mining Regulations Act, and the State Mined Land Reclamation Acts or State Department of Environmental Quality regulations, as applicable.

        We are required to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, as amended by UMTRCA, by applying for and maintaining an operating license from the NRC and the state of Texas. Uranium operations must conform to the terms of such licenses, which include provisions for protection of human health and the environment from endangerment due to radioactive materials. The licenses encompass protective measures consistent with the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. We intend to utilize specific employees and consultants in order to comply with and maintain our compliance with the above laws and regulations. Mining operations may be subject to other laws administered by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies.

        The uranium industry is subject not only to the worker health and safety and environmental risks associated with all mining businesses, but also to additional risks uniquely associated with uranium mining and milling. The possibility of more stringent regulations exists in the areas of worker health and safety, storage of hazardous materials, standards for heavy equipment used in mining or milling, the disposition of wastes, the decommissioning and reclamation of exploration, mining and in-situ sites, climate change and other environmental matters, each of which could have a material adverse effect on the cost or the viability of a particular project.

        We cannot predict what environmental legislation, regulation or policy will be enacted or adopted in the future or how future laws and regulations will be administered or interpreted. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation, generally, is toward stricter standards, and this trend is likely to continue in the future. This recent trend includes, without limitation, laws and regulations relating to air and water quality, mine reclamation, waste handling and disposal, the protection of certain species and the preservation of certain lands. These regulations may require the acquisition of permits or other authorizations for certain activities. These laws and regulations may also limit or prohibit activities on certain lands. Compliance with more stringent laws and regulations, as well as potentially more vigorous enforcement policies or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may necessitate significant capital outlays, may materially affect our results of operations and business or may cause material changes or delays in our intended activities.

        Our operations may require additional analysis in the future including environmental, cultural and social impact and other related studies. Certain activities require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers, and employees. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all necessary permits that may be required to continue our operation or our exploration of our properties or, if feasible, to commence development, construction or operation of mining facilities at such properties on terms which enable operations to be conducted at economically justifiable costs. If we are unable to obtain or maintain permits or water rights for development of our properties or otherwise fail to manage adequately future environmental issues, our operations could be materially and adversely affected.

         Because mineral exploration and development activities are inherently risky, we may be exposed to environmental liabilities and other dangers. If we are unable to maintain adequate insurance, or liabilities exceed the limits of our insurance policies, we may be unable to continue operations.

        The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into production. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labor disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor are other risks involved in extraction operations and the conduct of exploration programs. Previous mining operations may have caused environmental damage at certain of our properties. It may be difficult or impossible to assess the extent to which such damage was caused by us or by the activities of previous operators, in which case, any indemnities and exemptions from liability may be ineffective. If any of our properties are found to have commercial quantities of uranium, we would be subject to additional risks respecting any development and production activities.

        Although we carry liability insurance with respect to our mineral exploration operations, we may become subject to liability for damage to life and property, environmental damage, cave-ins or hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure because of cost or other business reasons. In addition, the insurance industry is undergoing change and premiums are being increased. If we are unable to procure adequate insurance because of cost, unavailability or otherwise, we might be forced to cease operations.

         Our inability to obtain financial surety would threaten our ability to continue in business.

        Future bonding requirements to comply with federal and state environmental and remediation requirements and to secure necessary licenses and approvals will increase significantly when future development and production occurs at our sites in Texas and New Mexico. The amount of the bonding for each producing property is subject to annual review and revision by regulators. We expect that the issuer of the bonds will require us to provide cash collateral equal to the face amount of the bond to secure the obligation. In the event we are not able to raise, secure or generate sufficient funds necessary to satisfy these bonding requirements, we will be unable to develop our sites and bring them into production, which inability will have a material adverse impact on our business and may negatively affect our ability to continue to operate.

         Competition from better-capitalized companies affects prices and our ability to acquire properties and personnel.

        There is global competition for uranium properties, capital, customers and the employment and retention of qualified personnel. In the production and marketing of uranium, there are a number of producing entities, some of which are government controlled and all of which are significantly larger and better capitalized than we are. Many of these organizations also have substantially greater financial, technical, manufacturing and distribution resources than we have.

        Our uranium production also competes with uranium recovered from the de-enrichment of highly enriched uranium obtained from the dismantlement of United States and Russian nuclear weapons and imports to the United States of uranium from the former Soviet Union and from the sale of uranium inventory held by the United States Department of Energy. In addition, there are numerous entities in the market that compete with us for properties and are attempting to become licensed to operate ISR and/or underground mining facilities. If we are unable to successfully compete for properties, capital, customers or employees or alternative uranium sources, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.

         Because we have limited capital, inherent mining risks pose a significant threat to us compared with our larger competitors.

        Because we have limited capital, we are unable to withstand significant losses that can result from inherent risks associated with mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, flooding, interruptions due to weather conditions and other acts of nature which larger competitors could withstand. Such risks could result in damage to or destruction of our infrastructure and production facilities, as well as to adjacent properties, personal injury, environmental damage and processing and production delays, causing monetary losses and possible legal liability.

         Our business could be harmed if we lose the services of our key personnel.

        Our business and mineral exploration programs depend upon our ability to employ the services of geologists, engineers and other experts. In operating our business and in order to continue our programs, we compete for the services of professionals with other mineral exploration companies and businesses. In addition, several entities have expressed an interest in hiring certain of our employees. Our ability to maintain and expand our business and continue our exploration programs may be impaired if we are unable to continue to employ or engage those parties currently providing services and expertise to us or identify and engage other qualified personnel to do so in their place. To retain key employees, we may face increased compensation costs, including potential new stock incentive grants and there can be no assurance that the incentive measures we implement will be successful in helping us retain our key personnel.

         Approximately 20% of our Common Stock is controlled by two record owners and management.

        Approximately 13% of our Common Stock is controlled by two significant stockholders. In addition, our directors and officers are the beneficial owners of approximately 7% of our Common Stock. This includes, with respect to both groups, shares that may be purchased upon the exercise of outstanding options. Such ownership by the Company's principal stockholders, executive officers and directors may have the effect of delaying, deferring, preventing or facilitating a sale of the Company or a business combination with a third party.

         The availability for sale of a large amount of shares may depress the market price of our Common Stock.

        As of May 31, 2011, 93,395,030 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding, all of which are registered or otherwise transferable. In addition, there are warrants outstanding to purchase 988,771 shares of Common Stock at a price of $5.78 per share, and which expire in May 2013. The availability for sale of a large amount of shares or conversion of the Company's outstanding warrants by any one or several shareholders may depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the public sale of our Common Stock. We have no arrangement with any of the holders of the foregoing shares or warrants to address the possible effect on the price of our Common Stock of the sale of their shares by them.

         Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact our stockholders.

        In order to finance our future production plans and working capital needs, we may have to raise funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. We currently have no authorized preferred stock. Depending on the type and the terms of any financing we pursue, stockholder's rights and the value of their investment in our Common Stock could be reduced. For example, if we have to issue secured debt securities, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of stockholders until the debt is paid. Interest on these debt securities would increase costs and negatively impact operating results. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our Common Stock, the market price of our Common Stock could be negatively impacted.

         Shareholders could be diluted if we were to use Common Stock to raise capital.

        As previously noted, we may need to seek additional capital in the future to satisfy our working capital requirements. This financing could involve one or more types of securities including Common Stock, convertible debt, preferred stock or warrants to acquire Common Stock. These securities could be issued at or below the then prevailing market price for our Common Stock. The certificate of incorporation of the Company authorizes us to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Any issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock could be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.


USE OF PROCEEDS

        Unless we specify otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from our sale of the securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include making additions to our working capital, funding future acquisitions, or for any other purpose we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until we use the proceeds for any purpose, we expect to invest them in interest-bearing securities.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

        This prospectus contains summary descriptions of our Common Stock, warrants and units that we may offer from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete descriptions of each security. The particular terms of any security will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and other offering material. The accompanying prospectus supplement may add, update or change the terms and conditions of the securities as described in this prospectus.

        As of the date of this prospectus, our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of May 31, 2011, there were 93,395,030 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, all of which are fully paid and nonassessable. There are approximately 3,363,563 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and 1,115,144 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under our stock option and restricted stock plans. There are 988,771 shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. Corporate Stock Transfer, Denver, Colorado is the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock.

        The following descriptions do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.


Description of Common Stock

        Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote for all purposes and cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of more than fifty percent of all of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock can elect all of the directors. Matters to be voted upon by the holders of our Common Stock require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a shareholders meeting at which a quorum is present.

        There are no preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights pertaining to our Common Stock. The absence of preemptive rights could result in a dilution of the interest of existing shareholders should additional shares of Common Stock be issued. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of assets legally available and to share ratably in our assets upon liquidation.


Description of Warrants

        We may issue warrants for the purchase of our Common Stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our Common Stock and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants. The warrant agent will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of certain provisions of the warrants is not complete. For the terms of a particular series of warrants, you should refer to the prospectus supplement for that series of warrants and the warrant agreement for that particular series.

        The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants to purchase our Common Stock will describe the terms of the warrants, including the following:

    the title of the warrants;

    the offering price for the warrants, if any;

    the aggregate number of warrants;

12


Table of Contents

    the designation and terms of the Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants;

    if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each security;

    if applicable, the date from and after which the warrants and any securities issued with the warrants will be separately transferable;

    the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of a warrant and the exercise price for the warrants;

    the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants shall commence and expire;

    if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

    the currency or currency units in which the offering price, if any, and the exercise price are payable;

    if applicable, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations;

    the antidilution provisions of the warrants, if any;

    the redemption or call provisions, if any, applicable to the warrants;

    any provisions with respect to the holder's right to require us to repurchase the warrants upon a change in control or similar event; and

    any additional terms of the warrants, including procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants.

        Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled:

    to vote, consent or receive dividends;

    receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or

    exercise any rights as stockholders of the Company.


Description of Units

        We may issue, in one more series, units consisting of Common Stock and/or warrants for the purchase of Common Stock in any combination. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may differ from the terms described below.

        We will file as exhibits to the registration statement to which this prospectus relates, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

13


Table of Contents

        General.    Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

        We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus the terms of the series of units, including:

    the designation and terms of the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be held or transferred separately;

    any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and

    any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

        The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under "Description of Common Stock" and "Description of Warrants," will apply to each unit and to any Common Stock or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

        Issuance in Series.    We may issue units in such amounts and in such distinct series as we determine.

        Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units.    Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

        Title.    We, and any unit agent and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so represented, despite any notice to the contrary. See "Legal Ownership of Securities" below.


LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

        We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee, depositary or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the "holders" of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as "indirect holders" of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.


Book-Entry Holders

        We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary's book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are

14


Table of Contents

referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.

        Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Securities issued in global form will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.

        As a result, investors in a book-entry security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary's book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not holders, of the securities.


Street Name Holders and Legal Holders

        We may terminate a global security or issue securities in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in "street name." Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.

        For securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.

        Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee and of any third parties employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.

        For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so.


Special Considerations For Indirect Holders

        If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:

    how it handles securities payments and notices;

    whether it imposes fees or charges;

    how it would handle a request for the holders' consent, if ever required;

15


Table of Contents

    whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future;

    how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and

    if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary's rules and procedures will affect these matters.


Global Securities

        A global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.

        Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.

        A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under the section entitled "Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated" in this prospectus. As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.

        If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued in global form only, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.


Special Considerations For Global Securities

        The rights of an indirect holder relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor's financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize an indirect holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

        If securities are issued only in the form of a global security, an investor should be aware of the following:

    an investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;

    an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;

16


Table of Contents

    an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;

    an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in a global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;

    the depositary's policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor's interest in a global security;

    we and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary's actions or for its records of ownership interests in a global security, nor do we or any applicable trustee supervise the depositary in any way;

    the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in a global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and

    financial institutions that participate in the depositary's book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in a global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities.

        There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries.


Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated

        In a few special situations described below, the global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own name, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.

        Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:

    if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;

    if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or

    if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived.

        The applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular series of securities covered by the applicable prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and not we or any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        We may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the securities registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such market prices or at negotiated prices. We may offer these securities at various times in one or more of the following transactions:

    on any national securities exchange, or other market on which our securities may be listed at the time of sale;

    in the over-the-counter market;

    through block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

    through purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

    in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

    through options, swaps or derivatives;

    in privately negotiated transactions; and

    through a combination of any such methods of sale.

        We may sell these securities directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell these shares upon terms and conditions that will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by us may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from us or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser in amounts to be negotiated. Such compensation may, but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as our agent, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to us. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions as described above.

        To the extent that we make sales through one or more underwriters or agents in at-the-market offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, we will do so pursuant to the terms of an at-the-market offering arrangement between us and the underwriters or agents. If we engage in at-the-market sales pursuant to any such agreement with underwriters or agents, we will issue and sell our securities through one or more underwriters or agents, which may act on an agency basis or on a principal basis. During the term of any such agreement, we may sell securities on a daily basis in exchange transactions or otherwise as we agree with the underwriters or agents. The agreement with the underwriters or agents will provide that any securities sold will be sold at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our securities. Therefore, exact figures regarding proceeds that will be raised or commissions to be paid cannot be determined at this time. Pursuant to the terms of such agreement, we also may agree to sell, and the relevant underwriters or agents may agree to solicit offers to purchase, blocks of our common stock or other securities. The terms of each such agreement will be set forth in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. In the event that any underwriter or agent acts as principal, or broker-dealer acts as underwriter, it may engage in certain transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our securities. We will describe any such activities in the prospectus supplement relating to the transaction.

18


Table of Contents

        Any broker-dealers or agents that participate with us in sales of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or independent broker-dealer, will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security sold in the offering.
