InvestorNewsBreaks – Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSE American: UEC) Receives Competing Acquisition Offer

Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC)a U.S.-based uranium mining and exploration company, has received a notice from UEX Corporation that Denison Mines Corp. has made an acquisition proposal for all of the issued and outstanding shares of UEX. In addition, UEX advised UEC that its board of directors determined that the Denison proposal is a “superior proposal,” as defined in the arrangement agreement between UEX, UEC and the UEC 2022 Acquisition Corp. last month. According to the announcement, UEX plans to accept the Denison proposal, subject to UEC’s right to match the proposal. The June agreement grants UEC five business days to amend the terms of the arrangement agreement; if UEC chooses not to do so and UEX opts to go with the Denison proposal, UEX will pay UEC a $8.25 million termination fee. “UEC has consistently been disciplined and focused on delivering accretive transactions for our shareholders as exhibited by our successful M&A track record,” said Uranium Energy president and CEO Amir Adnani in the press release. “While the competing offer for UEX validates the merits of this acquisition, since announcing the transaction, there has been significant market deterioration in the sector, and this has created a broader set of growth opportunities that would be highly accretive and strategic in nature. We continue to be in the driver’s seat with our acquisition of UEX; however, we have made no determination as to whether we will choose to match the competing offer. UEC will do a careful analysis to determine whether this or other opportunities we are considering provide the most compelling value for our shareholders.”
