Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 21, 2020, Uranium Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting
Agreement") with a syndicate of underwriters (the "Underwriters"),
co-represented by H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC and Haywood Securities Inc., under
which the underwriters have agreed to buy on an underwritten basis 12,500,000
units (the "Units") at a price to the public of $1.20 per Unit for gross
proceeds of $15,000,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit consists of one share of
common stock (each, a "Share") and one-half of one common stock purchase warrant
(each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to purchase one share of common stock (each, a "Warrant Share") at an
exercise price of $1.80 per Warrant Share, and is exercisable from the date of
issuance until any time prior to 5:00 pm (Vancouver time) on the date that is 24
months from the date of issuance.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters are entitled to
purchase the Units at a discounted underwriting price of $1.128 per Unit,
representing a 6% discount (the "Underwriting Discount"). The Underwriting
Discount will be reduced to 2% (resulting in a discounted underwriting price of
$1.176 per Unit) on up to $5,000,000 in Units that are sold to purchasers
included on a president's list (the "President's List"), and thereafter the full
6% discount will apply. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the
Underwriters (or their designees) up to a total of 583,333 common stock purchase
warrants (the "Compensation Warrants"). Each Compensation Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock (each, a "Compensation
Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $1.80 per Compensation Warrant Share,
and is exercisable from the date of issuance until any time prior to 5:00 pm
(Vancouver time) on the date that is 24 months from the date of issuance. The
Offering is expected to close on September 23, 2020, subject to obtaining NYSE
American approval and customary closing conditions.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warrants and
covenants by the Company, conditions to closing and indemnification provisions,
as well as a form of lock-up agreement that has been signed by certain of the
Company's directors and officers, filed herewith as Schedule "E" to Exhibit 1.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The net proceeds to the Company from the underwritten public Offering, after
deducting the Underwriters' expenses, the Company's estimated offering expenses,
and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants issued in
the Offering or the Compensation Warrants, are expected to be approximately
$14,000,000.
The Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares, Compensation Warrants and Compensation
Warrant Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated as of
September 21, 2020, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") in connection with a takedown from the Company's shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236571), which became effective on March 3,
2020, and the base prospectus dated as of March 3, 2020 contained in such
registration statement.
