Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Extension of Scheduled Maturity under RCF Loan Agreement

On December 5, 2016, Uranium Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement, dated November 13, 2013 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, those subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party hereto, and Resource Capital Fund V L.P. (“RCF”), which extends the scheduled maturity date of the convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. The amendment also provides that interest will accrue on the Notes at an annual rate of 15% beginning January 1, 2017.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Exchange Agreement

On December 5, 2016, the Company entered into a Master Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with an entity (the “Creditor”) that acquired from RCF $2,500,000 in principal amount of Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, that had been previously issued by the Company to RCF. The Creditor also agreed to purchase an additional $5,500,000 in principal amount of Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, prior to the second pricing period discussed below. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Creditor has the unilateral right to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the Notes issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which Notes evidence $8,000,000 of indebtedness of the Company.

The Exchange Agreement provides for two pricing periods, the first of which commenced on December 5, 2016 and the second of which will commence following (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the Creditor’s sale of shares issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and (ii) the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval for the issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock to the Creditor pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). Each pricing period will end 75 days after commencement, unless earlier terminated by the Creditor.

During each pricing period, the Creditor will have the unilateral right to exchange the Notes for shares of the Company’s common stock or Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below). The number of shares to be issued upon each exchange will be equal to the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Notes being exchanged, divided by an exchange price per share equal to the greater of (i) 77% of the volume-average weighted price of the Company’s common stock during the pricing period, or (ii) $0.10 per share (the “Exchange Price”). At the end of the second pricing period, unless the Company elects to prepay the amounts outstanding under the Notes, the Creditor will exchange all of the remaining Notes for shares of the Company’s common stock or Pre-Funded Warrants at the exchange rate determined by the second pricing period.

The Creditor does not have the right to exchange Notes for shares of the Company’s common stock to the extent that following such exchange the Creditor would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the Company’s common stock, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Maximum Percentage”). In the event that the exchange of Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock would result in the Creditor beneficially owning shares of the Company’s common stock in excess of the Maximum Percentage, the Company will issue pre-funded warrants to the Creditor to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.01




per share, with the number of such pre-funded warrants to be determined by dividing (a) the principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Note being exchanged, by (b) the Exchange Price minus $0.01, rounded up to the nearest whole pre-funded warrant in the event of a fraction (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). In addition, under no circumstances may the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued to the Creditor in connection with the exchange of the Notes at any time exceed 19.9% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the date of the Exchange Agreement, unless the Company has obtained either (i) stockholder approval of the issuance of more than such number of shares pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) or (ii) a waiver from the Nasdaq Stock Market of the Company’s compliance with Rule 5635(d).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement to register the sale of shares acquired or acquirable by the Creditor pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. Among other covenants, the Company may not issue certain equity securities until after the end of the second pricing period. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Creditor and its affiliates for material misstatements or breaches of its obligations under the Exchange Agreement. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Creditor for up to $87,500 of legal fees, costs and expenses.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement and Pre-Funded Warrants is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Exchange Agreement and form of Pre-Funded Warrant, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
