The Carryover Shares consist of 65,806 shares previously registered under the Registrant’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan on Form S-8, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 17, 2006 (Commission File No. 333-134208); and 2,689 shares previously registered under the Registrant’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan on Form S-8, filed with the Commission on December 23, 2008 (Commission File No. 333-156433).

The Registrant is paying registration fees solely with respect to the 1,090,628 shares being newly registered. The registration fees with respect to the Carryover Shares were paid upon filing of each of the original registration statements on Form S-8 listed in footnote 1 above. Therefore, no further registration fee is required with respect to the Carryover Shares.

 

 

 


 


 

URANIUM RESOURCES, INC.

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The stockholders of Uranium Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Uranium Resources, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) on June 4, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). As provided in the 2013 Plan, the following shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), are available for issuance thereunder: (a) up to 1,090,628 shares (the “New Shares”), which includes 90,628 shares previously approved for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan that were not previously registered, and (b) an aggregate of 68,495 shares that were previously registered by the Company (the “Carryover Shares”). The Carryover Shares consist of 65,806 shares previously registered under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) on Form S-8, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 17, 2006 (Commission File No. 333-134208); and 2,689 shares previously registered under the Company’s 2007 Restricted Stock Plan (together with the 2004 Plan, the “Prior Plans”) on Form S-8, filed with the Commission on December 23, 2008 (Commission File No. 333-156433). Post-effective amendments to each of the foregoing Forms S-8 to deregister the Carryover Shares are being filed contemporaneously with the filing of this registration statement. In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2013 Plan will be increased by the number of shares subject to awards (made under the 2013 Plan or that were outstanding under the Prior Plans or the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan or Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Incentive Plan on the Effective Date) that terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares.  The Company’s authority to grant new awards under the Prior Plans and Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan terminated upon stockholder approval of the 2013 Plan on the Effective Date.

 

The purpose of this registration statement is to register the New Shares and the Carryover Shares. Additional shares of Common Stock registered under the Prior Plans or the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Directors’ Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan or Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Incentive Plan may become available for future grants under the 2013 Plan if awards made under such plans that were outstanding on the Effective Date terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such shares. Such shares may be registered for issuance under the 2013 Plan pursuant to subsequent registration statements.

Item 4. Description of Securities

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of his service as a director or officer of the corporation, or his service, at the corporation’s request, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that are actually and reasonably incurred by him (“Expenses”), and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that are actually and reasonably incurred by him, in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Although Delaware law permits a corporation to indemnify any person referred to above against Expenses in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by or in the right of the corporation, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, if such person has been judged liable to the corporation, indemnification is only permitted to the extent that the Court of Chancery (or the court in which the action was brought) determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such person is entitled to indemnity for such Expenses as the court deems proper. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) also provides for mandatory indemnification of any director, officer, employee or agent against Expenses to the extent such person has been successful in any proceeding covered by the statute. In addition, the DGCL provides the general authorization of advancement of a director’s or officer’s litigation expenses in lieu of requiring the authorization of such advancement by the board of directors in specific cases, and that indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by the statute shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or otherwise.

 

The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) provide for indemnification of its directors and officers and for advancement of litigation expenses to the fullest extent permitted by current Delaware law. In addition, the Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each director and officer that provides for indemnification and advancement of litigation expenses to fullest extent permitted by the DCGL.

 

The Company maintains a policy of directors and officers liability insurance which reimburses the Company for expenses which it may incur in connection with the foregoing indemnity provisions and which may provide direct indemnification to directors and officers where the Company is unable to do so.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the above, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

 

Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

 

See the Exhibit Index.

 

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement;

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are acting as counsel to Uranium Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the proposed offering of up to 1,159,123 newly issued shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”), all of which shares are issuable pursuant to the Uranium Resources, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
