Item 3.02                               Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As previously disclosed, on November 13, 2013, Uranium Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “URI”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) among the Company, each of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (“RCF”), pursuant to which RCF advanced $3.0 million to the Company following the closing of the Loan Agreement and committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof (including stockholder approval of the Loan Agreement), to advance up to an additional $12.0 million to the Company.  RCF advanced an additional $2.0 million to the Company on February 4, 2014.

 

Following the approval of the Loan Agreement by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting held on January 29, 2014, RCF may at any time convert amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement (including amounts previously repaid) into shares of URI common stock at an initial rate of $2.60 per share. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and further downward adjustment in the case of certain equity issuances by the Company before November 13, 2014. If RCF were to elect to convert the $5.0 million outstanding under the Loan Agreement at the current conversion rate of $2.60 per share, the Company would issue 1,923,077 shares of common stock to RCF, increasing RCF’s ownership to approximately 38.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. If the Company were to draw the entire $15.0 million available under the Loan Agreement, RCF could convert such amount into 5,769,231 shares of URI common stock at the current conversion rate of $2.60 per share, which, together with the issuance of shares in satisfaction of interest and the commitment fee discussed below, would result in RCF owning approximately 50.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

Interest on amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, which accrues at 10% following stockholder approval of the Loan Agreement, and a 1% commitment fee may be satisfied by the issuance of shares at RCF’s election, in each case valued at the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding the most recent quarter end date before the issuance of such shares. If interest were to accrue on the full amount available under the Loan Agreement through maturity on December 31, 2016, and the Company’s shares issued in satisfaction thereof were valued at $2.60 per share, the Company estimates that it would issue approximately 1,593,248 shares in satisfaction of interest under the Loan Agreement. Similarly, if the full commitment fee were incurred, and the shares issued were valued at $2.60 per share, the Company estimates that it would issue approximately 22,073 shares in satisfaction of the commitment fee. Both of these amounts could increase significantly if the value of the Company’s common stock decreases.

 

On February 4, 2014, the Company issued to RCF (i) 117,188 shares of common stock in satisfaction of a $300,000 establishment fee under the Loan Agreement, valuing such shares at the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding October 18, 2013, and (ii) 21,218 shares of common stock in satisfaction of interest and the 1% commitment fee through December 31, 2013, valuing such shares at the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty trading days preceding December 31, 2013.

The shares issued in satisfaction of the establishment fee, interest and commitment fee on February 4, 2014 were issued, and any additional shares issued under the Loan Agreement will be issued, to RCF pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  All shares issuable under the Loan Agreement are subject to registration under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 1, 2012, between the Company and RCF, under which the Company is required to register the shares on a shelf registration statement.

 

Item 5.07                               Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
