On August 9, 2017, the SPA, as amended, closed and the Company provided the following consideration for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of RCHI:

The Warrants contain an accelerator clause which provides that, in the event that the closing price of UEC Shares on its principally traded exchange is equal to or greater than $4.00 per UEC Share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to within 30 days of the date the holder receives an acceleration notice from the Company;

all to the Selling Stockholders as set out under paragraph 6 of Item 1.01 above.

As a result of the closing of the SPA, as amended, the Company now owns 100% of RCHI.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company provided each of the Pacific Road Funds and BHI with registration rights respecting the UEC Shares and the Warrant Shares to be issued by the Company on the Closing Date and, accordingly, the Company now plans to file a Form S-3 selling shareholder registration with the SEC in order to register all such securities within approximately 30 calendar days from August 9, 2017.
