AI-generated analysis. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
LITTLETON, CO / ACCESS Newswire / December 10, 2025 / Ur-Energy Inc. ("Ur-Energy" or the "Company") (NYSE American:URG)(TSX:URE), today announced its intent to offer
The notes will be general senior unsecured obligations of Ur-Energy and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears. The notes will be convertible at the option of holders under certain conditions into cash, common shares, no par value, of Ur-Energy ("common shares") or a combination of cash and common shares, at Ur-Energy's election. The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the convertible notes offering.
Ur-Energy expects to use the net proceeds from the convertible notes offering, if consummated, (i) to pay the cost of the capped call transactions (as described below) and (ii) for project development and general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Ur-Energy expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties (as defined below) and the remaining net proceeds for the purposes described above.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, Ur-Energy expects to enter into privately negotiated cash-settled capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the notes or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the notes, the number of common shares initially underlying the notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to compensate (through the payment of cash to Ur-Energy) for the potential economic dilution upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any cash payments Ur-Energy is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, Ur-Energy expects that the option counterparties or their respective affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to common shares and/or purchase common shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes, including with, or from, certain investors in the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of common shares or the trading price of the notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the common shares and/or purchasing or selling common shares or other securities of Ur-Energy in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during the 50-trading day period beginning on the 51st scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the notes and, to the extent the Company exercises the relevant election under the capped call transactions, following any earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase of the notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of the common shares or the notes, which could affect a holder's ability to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the number of common shares, if any, and the value of the consideration that a holder will receive upon conversion of its notes.
The notes and the common shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act, any state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. Offers and sales in Canada will be made only pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws. The notes issued and the common shares issuable upon the conversion of notes, if any, to purchasers in Canada will be subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws. The convertible notes offering is subject to final acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). In obtaining TSX conditional approval, Ur-Energy intends to rely on the Exemptions for Eligible Interlisted Issuers set forth in Section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual, which provide that the TSX will not apply its standards to certain transactions involving "Eligible Interlisted Issuers" on a "Recognized Exchange" (each as defined in the TSX Company Manual), such as the NYSE American.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities being offered in the offering, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
