What the Meeting will cover

 

Financial Statements

 

You will receive the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2025, and the accompanying auditor’s report thereon. No vote with respect to our financial statements is required or proposed to be taken. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about our consolidated financial statements at the Meeting.

  

Election of directors (see pages 12 to 17)

  

You will vote on the election of 6 directors to serve on our Board until the next annual meeting.

 

The Board recommends voting FOR each nominee standing for election. If you do not specify in your proxy form or voting instruction form how you want to vote your shares, the persons named in the form of proxy will vote FOR electing each of the director nominees profiled below.

 

The number of directors to be elected at the Meeting is determined from time to time by resolution of the Board, such number being not more than ten and not less than two. The directors have fixed the size of the Board at six directors. We expect that all of the nominees will be able to serve as director but if for any reason a nominee is unable to serve, the persons named in the proxy form have the right to vote at their discretion for another nominee proposed according to the Company’s by-laws and applicable law.  

 

Appointing the auditor

PwC was first appointed as auditor of the Company on June 1, 2020. Representatives of PwC are not expected to be present at the Meeting.

 

We maintain independence from our auditor through Audit Committee oversight, a robust regulatory framework in Canada, including the requirement to rotate the lead audit partner at least every five years, and PwC’s own internal independence procedures which are designed to comply with Canadian Public Accountability Board and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requirements. In 2024, we received 59,832,043 votes for the appointment of PwC as our auditor, with 209,132 votes being withheld.

 

The Board, on recommendation of the Audit Committee, recommends voting FOR the resolution appointing PwC as our auditor and authorizing the Board to fix their remuneration. If you do not specify in your proxy form or voting instruction form how you want to vote your shares, the persons named in the form of proxy will vote FOR the appointment of PwC as our auditor.

Summary of Compensation in the financial year ended April 30, 2025

 

The Company’s compensation program is designed to attract and retain top talent, as well as to align the interests of our executives with the long-term interests and value performance of our shareholders. Some of the compensation practices the Company employs to achieve its objectives include:

Only Shareholders of record (“Registered Shareholders”) as of close of business (Vancouver time) on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. If you acquire Shares after the close of business on the Record Date, you will not be entitled to vote those Shares at the Meeting.

 

Each Share entitles the holder to one vote. As of the close of business August 21, 2025, we had 133,638,119 Shares issued and outstanding.

A: If you are a Registered Shareholder, you may vote by (1) attending the Meeting in person and voting, (2) voting your proxy in accordance with the instructions provided in the form of proxy, including via telephone or online, or (3) completing and signing a form of proxy appointing someone to represent you and to vote your Shares at the Meeting. Completing, signing and returning a form of proxy will not prevent you from attending the Meeting in person.

 

The completed and signed form of proxy can be submitted by mail to Computershare Investor Services Inc. at 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, ON M5H 4A6, Canada.

 

Q: What if amendments are made to these matters or if other matters are brought before the Meeting?

 

A: If you attend the Meeting in person and are eligible to vote, you may vote on such matters as you choose. If you have completed and returned a proxy in the form enclosed, the person(s) named in it will have discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and to other matters which properly come before the Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, the persons so named will vote on it in accordance with their judgment. As of the date of this Circular, our management does not know of any such amendment, variation or other matter expected to come before the Meeting.

 

Q: Who is soliciting my proxy?

 

A: Our management is soliciting your proxy. Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally by our officers at nominal cost. The cost of this solicitation will be borne by us.

 

Q: If I deliver a proxy, who will vote my Shares?

 

A: Amir Adnani (or, failing him, Andrew Marshall, or, failing him, Scott Melbye), has been named as a management proxyholder (the “Management Proxyholder”) in the accompanying proxy and will represent the Shareholders at the Meeting that deliver proxies that do not name a different proxyholder.

 

You can appoint a person or company other than the Management Proxyholder to represent you at the Meeting. To do so, you must write the name of your chosen proxyholder in the blank space provided in the form of proxy. It is important to ensure that any other person you appoint as proxyholder will attend the Meeting and is aware that his or her appointment has been made to vote your Shares and that he or she should present himself/herself to a representative of the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”).

 

 Other Information Management information circular 20255

 

 

 

Q: What if my Shares are registered in more than one name or in the name of my company?

 

A: If your Shares are registered in more than one name, all those registered must sign the form of proxy. If your Shares are registered in the name of your company or any name other than yours, we may require that you provide documentation that proves you are authorized to sign the form of proxy.

 

Q: What if I plan to attend the Meeting and vote in person?

 

A: If you plan to attend the Meeting and wish to vote your Shares in person, you do not need to complete or return a form of proxy. Your vote will be taken and counted at the Meeting. Please register with the scrutineer when you arrive at the Meeting.

 

Q: What happens when I sign and return a form of proxy?

 

A: You will have given authority to whoever the proxy appoints as your proxyholder to vote, or withhold from voting, your Shares at the Meeting in accordance with the voting instructions you provide.

The chair of the Meeting has the discretion to accept proxies received after the deadline.

 

Q: How will my Shares be voted if my proxy is in the enclosed form with no other person named as proxyholder?

 

A: The Management Proxyholder will vote or withhold from voting your Shares in accordance with your instructions.

 

In the absence of such instructions, your Shares will be voted FOR the election of the directors nominated by management and FOR the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as auditor.

 

Q: Can I revoke a proxy once it has been given?

 

A: Yes. If you are a Registered Shareholder as of the Record Date, you may revoke your proxy with an instrument in writing (which can be another proxy with a later date) and delivered to Computershare or our registered office, up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting (or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s)), or to the individual chairing the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting (or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s)). Any written revocation must be duly executed by you or your attorney authorized in writing or, if you hold your Shares through a company, by an authorized officer.

 

Please note that your participation in person in a vote by ballot at the Meeting would automatically revoke any proxy you have given in respect of the item of business covered by that vote. If you are not a Registered Shareholder, you must follow the instructions given to you by your Intermediary to revoke your voting instructions.

Voting by Registered Shareholders

 

Appointment of Proxyholders

 

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share that such Shareholder held on August 21, 2025, on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting and any other matter which may properly come before the Meeting.

 

The persons named as proxyholders (the “Designated Persons”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company.

 

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for or on behalf of that Shareholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. A Shareholder may exercise this right by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person, in the blank space provided in the form of proxy. In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company, by mail or by hand, to the attention of Computershare Investor Services Inc., 320 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, ON  M5H 4A6, Canada, by 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) on October 14, 2025, or not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the Board at its discretion without notice.

 

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer, or attorney-in-fact, for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders, or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, should accompany the form of proxy.

 

Revocability of Proxy

 

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a form of proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a form of proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a form of proxy bearing a later date, executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof. The instrument revoking the form of proxy must be deposited at the same address where the original form of proxy was delivered at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of the Meeting but prior to the commencement of the Meeting. A Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy may also revoke it by attending the Meeting in person (or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized representative of the corporation attending the Meeting) and registering with the scrutineer thereat as a Registered Shareholder present in person, whereupon such form of proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked. A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

 

Voting of Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

 

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space on the form of proxy. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the form of proxy. If a Shareholder specifies a choice in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly. The Shares represented by a form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for, and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 20258

 

 

 

If no choice is specified in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, the form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to that matter upon the Designated Persons. It is intended that the Designated Persons will vote the Shares represented by the form of proxy in favour of each matter identified in the form of proxy, including the vote for the election of the nominee(s) to the Board and the appointment of the independent auditor of the Company.

 

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

 

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Shares on any matter, the Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for the determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 20259

 

 

 

Voting by Non-Registered Holders

 

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” Shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc.) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements set out in NI 54-101, the Company has distributed copies of the Meeting Materials and form of proxy to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders and has posted the Meeting Materials on the Company’s website at www.uraniumroyalty.com and under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

 

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

 

(a)be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company as provided above; or

 

(b)more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one-page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of a one-page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

 

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the name(s) of the management proxyholder(s) named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

 

There are two kinds of beneficial owners – those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called “OBOs” for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called “NOBOs” for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners). Pursuant to NI 54-101, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs. Pursuant to NI 54-101, the Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Meeting Materials to OBOs. Accordingly, OBOs will not receive the Meeting Materials unless the Intermediary holding Shares on their behalf assumes the cost of delivery.

 

These securityholder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Holders, using notice-and-access provisions. If you are a Non-Registered Holder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding Shares on your behalf.

United States Shareholders

 

This solicitation of proxies and voting instruction forms involves securities of a company located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate and securities laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure and proxy solicitation requirements under the securities laws of British Columbia, Canada differ from the disclosure and proxy solicitation requirements under United States securities laws.

 

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the CBCA, some of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

 Other Information Management information circular 202518

 

 

 

 

Compensation

 

The following information is presented in accordance with NI 51-102 and Form 51-102F6 – Statement of Executive Compensation, and sets forth the total compensation for services in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the individuals comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and each of the other three most highly compensated executive officers of the Company, including its subsidiary, whose individual total compensation for the most recently completed financial year exceeded $150,000, and any individual who would have satisfied these criteria but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company or its subsidiary at the end of the most recently completed financial year (together, the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The Compensation Committee considers the compensation of NEOs, with the goal of providing sufficient compensation opportunities to attract, retain and motivate the best possible executive officers, while at the same time aligning the interests of the NEOs with those of the Shareholders. When determining individual compensation levels for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors including the overall financial and operating performance of the Company, each NEO’s individual performance and contributions towards meeting corporate objectives and each NEO’s level of responsibility and length of service. At the end of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews actual performance against corporate objectives. For further information, see the section entitled “Compensation Governance”.

 

The Company’s compensation program is intended to be consistent with the Company’s business plans, strategies and goals. The Company’s compensation program is designed to reward each executive based on individual, business and corporate performance and is also designed to incent such executives to drive the annual and long-term business goals of the Company.

 

Compensation Governance

 

The Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s directors and officers are discharged by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Mr. Gregson (chair), Ms. Patel and Mr. Robertson. Each member of the Compensation Committee is considered independent pursuant to National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) and Nasdaq Listing Rules. See also “Building an effective Board – Independence”.

 

All members of the Compensation Committee have experience in compensation matters, either as members of compensation committees of other public companies and/or from having served as senior executives with significant responsibility for or involvement in compensation matters. For further information, see the profiles of our directors under the section entitled “Election of Directors” and related skills matrix under the same section.

 

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter. Among other things, the Compensation Committee has the responsibility of assessing the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s contribution to the overall success of the Company and recommending to the Board, the Chief Executive Officer’s level of compensation. It is also responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation of other executive officers and directors including salary, bonus, incentive and other compensation levels.

 

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the adequacy and form of compensation to ensure it realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks involved in being an effective director or officer and that compensation allows the Company to attract qualified candidates. Such review includes an examination of publicly available data, as well as independent compensation surveys.

 

The Compensation Committee may also consult with outside, independent, compensation advisory firms, if deemed necessary.

 

The Company is a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act and is permitted pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules to follow its home country practice in respect of the composition of its Compensation Committee. For further information, see the section entitled “Nasdaq Corporate Governance”.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202519

 

 

 

Elements of Compensation

 

It is the compensation philosophy of the Company to provide a market-based mix of base salaries, short-term incentives, in the form of bonuses, and long-term equity incentives. The Company seeks to accomplish its executive compensation objectives through an appropriate mix of fixed and “at-risk”, variable pay by providing a percentage of the NEOs’ total compensation opportunity in the form of equity compensation and by ensuring that a fair portion of the NEOs’ total pay is in the form of performance-based or “at-risk” compensation.

 

Base Salary. The objective of the base salary, consistent with market practice, is to provide a portion of compensation as a fixed cash amount. The Compensation Committee reviews each executive officer’s base salary with reference to relevant industry norms relating to, among other things, experience, past performance and level of responsibility. The Compensation Committee reviews salary levels periodically and may recommend adjustments to the Board, if warranted, as a result of salary increase trends in the marketplace, competitive positioning and an increase in responsibilities assumed by an executive officer.

 

Annual Bonus. Annual cash bonuses are a discretionary component of the total compensation that may be received by the Company’s executive officers, which provide such executive officers the potential to receive an annual financial reward based on performance. Discretionary cash bonuses are recommended by the Compensation Committee to the Board based on annual performance reviews. No annual cash bonuses were awarded with respect to the financial year ended April 30, 2025. For further information, see the section entitled “Summary Compensation Table”.

 

LTIP Awards. The Compensation Committee also considers long-term performance incentive awards and stock options (collectively, “LTIP Awards”) to be an important component of executive compensation. The objective of making grants under the LTIP is to encourage executive officers to acquire an ownership interest in the Company over a period of time, thus better aligning the interests of executive officers with the interests of Shareholders, and thereby discouraging excessive risk taking.

 

The Company grants LTIP Awards, from time to time, to directors, executive officers, key employees and consultants. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board for the grant of LTIP Awards on a discretionary basis, given the size of the Company, based on individual performance, positions held with the Company and the overall performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee considers various factors when determining the number of LTIP Awards to be granted to specific individuals, including the level of responsibility and base salary level associated with the position held by such individual. The Compensation Committee considers past grants under the LTIP when determining new grants of LTIP Awards. The Board relies solely on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee regarding grants of LTIP Awards to directors, executive officers, key employees and consultants.

 

The Company does not assess its compensation through benchmarks or peer groups at this time.

 

No actions, decisions or policies were put in place affecting the Company’s compensation program subsequent to the financial year ended April 30, 2025.

 

Executive Compensation Clawback Policy

 

The Board has adopted a clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) to align with the new listing standards adopted by Nasdaq Capital Markets, as required by Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the Clawback Policy, incentive compensation paid by the Company to an executive may be clawed back if such compensation was predicated upon the achievement of financial results based on financial statements that were required to be restated due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement and that noncompliance resulted in overpayment of the incentive compensation. The clawback period is limited to the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the accounting restatement and applies without regard to any fault or misconduct.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202520

 

 

 

Risk Management

 

The Company considers risk management when implementing its compensation program and has taken steps to ensure its executive compensation program does not incentivize inappropriate risks. Some of the risk management initiatives currently employed by the Company are as follows:

 

appointing a Compensation Committee comprised entirely of independent directors to oversee the executive compensation program;

 

use of discretion in adjusting any bonus payments up or down as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate and recommends; and

 

the adoption of the Clawback Policy which allows certain incentive compensation paid by the Company to an executive to be clawed back if such compensation was based on the achievement of financial results that were a result of erroneous data or material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements.

 

The Board and the Compensation Committee do not believe that the Company’s compensation policies and practices result in unnecessary or inappropriate risk-taking, including those that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not have a policy that restricts the ability of a Named Executive Officer or director to purchase financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or director.

Notes:

 

(1)Value vested during the year is calculated by subtracting the exercise price of the Option (being the market price of the Shares on the award date) from the market price of the Shares on the date the Option vested (being the closing price of the Shares on the TSX on the last trading day prior to the vesting date).

 

Long-Term Incentive Plan

 

The Company adopted its LTIP on November 22, 2019, as amended August 13, 2024, and approved by Shareholders on October 17, 2024. The LTIP is available to directors, key employees and consultants of the Company, as determined by the Board. The aggregate number of Shares issuable under the LTIP is 10,775,285 (representing approximately 8.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at the date hereof).

 

Under the LTIP, the Company may grant equity-based compensation in the form of Options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), for the purpose of attracting and retaining non-employee directors and employees and certain other service providers of the Company and affiliated companies, and to provide to such persons incentives and rewards for service or performance.

 

The maximum number of Shares issuable under the LTIP is fixed at 10,775,285 Shares (being the amount equal to 15% of the Shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering). As of the date hereof, the Company had 1,949,888 Shares allocated to outstanding Awards under the LTIP (representing 1.46% of the Company’s outstanding Shares), and a further 8,571,647 Shares are available for allocation under the LTIP (representing 6.41% of the Company’s outstanding Shares).

 

Awards are counted against the aggregate number of Shares issuable under the LTIP on the date of granting such award. Any Shares related to awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, surrender (including a “net surrender”), or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, or are exchanged with the Board’s permission, prior to the issuance of Shares, for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available again for granting Awards under the LTIP. Shares issued pursuant to a “cashless exercise” remain counted against the aggregate number of Shares issuable under the LTIP. Awards under the LTIP are not assignable or otherwise transferrable (otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) and may not be pledged or otherwise encumbered.

 

The LTIP contains limitations on participation, including with respect to (a) the total number of Shares issuable to any participant under the LTIP, at any time, together with Shares reserved for issuance to such participant under any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares; (b) the total number of Shares (i) issued to insiders within any one-year period, and (ii) issuable to insiders at any given time under the LTIP, together with any other security-based compensation arrangement of the Company, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, respectively; (c) the grant value of Shares issued or reserved for issuance to any one to non-executive director (excluding the Chairman of the Board, if any) pursuant to Options granted under the LTIP shall not exceed $100,000 in any fiscal year; and (d) the total number of Shares issuable to non-executive directors (excluding the Chairman of the Board, if any) under the LTIP shall not exceed 3% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202528

 

 

 

The Board may, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of Shareholders, amend, suspend, terminate or discontinue the LTIP and may amend the terms and conditions of any grants thereunder, subject to (a) any required approval of any applicable regulatory authority or the TSX, and (b) approval of Shareholders of the Company as required by the rules of the TSX or applicable law, provided that, subject to applicable regulatory authority or the TSX, Shareholder approval shall not be required for the following amendments, and the Board may make changes which may include, but are not limited to: (i) amendments of a “housekeeping nature”; (ii) any amendment for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, error or omission in the LTIP or to correct or supplement any provision of the LTIP that is inconsistent with any other provision of the LTIP; (iii) an amendment which is necessary to comply with applicable law or TSX requirements; (iv) amendments respecting administration and eligibility for participation under the LTIP; (v) changes to terms and conditions on which awards may be or have been granted pursuant to the LTIP, including changes to the vesting provisions and terms of any awards; (vi) amendments which alter, extend or accelerate the terms of vesting applicable to any award; and (vii) changes to the termination provisions of an award or the LTIP which does not entail an extension beyond the original fixed term. If the LTIP is terminated, prior awards shall remain outstanding and in effect, in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions.

 

The Board may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend any terms of, any awards, provided that no such amendment or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any participant without such participant’s consent, unless the Board determines that such amendment or alteration either is required or advisable in order to conform to any law, regulation or accounting standard or is not reasonably likely to diminish the benefits provided under such award.

 

Amendments to the LTIP were approved by Shareholders at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on October 17, 2024.

 

Restricted Share Units

 

The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant awards of RSUs to directors, key employees and consultants. Each RSU shall represent one Share on vesting. RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board may establish in the applicable award agreement. The typical restriction for RSUs is time based (i.e. vesting after a fixed period of time, which period of time shall be no less than 12 months). All RSUs will vest and become payable by the issuance of Shares at the end of the applicable restriction period if all applicable restrictions have lapsed, as such restrictions may be specified in the applicable award agreement. Restrictions on any RSUs shall lapse immediately and become fully vested upon a change of control. Upon the death of a participant, subject to the applicable award agreement, any RSUs that have not vested will be immediately forfeited and cancelled without payment, provided that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the participant’s death will accrue to the participant’s estate in accordance with the LTIP.

 

If a key employee’s employment is terminated for cause, any RSUs granted to the participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled as of the termination date. Where the employment of a key employee is terminated without cause, by voluntary termination or due to retirement, any RSUs granted to the participant will, subject to the applicable award agreement, immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled as of the termination date, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the participant’s termination without cause, voluntary termination or retirement will accrue to the participant in accordance with the LTIP. If a key employee becomes afflicted by a disability, all RSUs granted to the participant will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such RSUs, provided, however, that no RSUs may be redeemed during a leave of absence. Where a key employee’s employment is terminated due to disability, subject to the applicable award agreement, RSUs granted to such participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the date of termination will accrue to the key employee in accordance with the LTIP.

 

In the case of directors, if a participant ceases to be a director for any reason, all RSUs granted to such participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the participant ceasing to be a director will accrue to the participant in accordance with the LTIP. Where a consultant’s service to the Company terminates for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement and any other contractual commitments between the participant and the Company, all RSUs granted to such participant will immediately be forfeited and cancelled, provided, however, that any RSUs granted to such participant that had vested prior to the termination of the participant’s service to the Company will accrue to the participant in accordance with the LTIP.

Performance Share Units

 

The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant awards of PSUs to key employees and consultants. Each PSU shall, contingent upon the attainment of the performance criteria within the applicable performance cycle, represent one Share unless otherwise specified in the applicable award agreement. The performance criteria will be established by the Board which, without limitation, may include criteria based on the participant’s individual performance and/or the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. The applicable award agreement may provide the Board with the right to revise the performance criteria and the award amounts during a performance cycle or after it has ended, if unforeseen events occur, including, without limitation, changes in capitalization, equity restructuring, acquisitions or divestitures, if such events have a substantial effect on the Company’s financial results and make the application of the performance criteria unfair absent a revision.

 

All PSUs will vest and become payable to the extent that the performance criteria are satisfied in the sole determination of the Board. PSUs granted to a participant shall become fully vested and payable to the extent that the performance criteria set forth in the applicable award agreement are satisfied for the performance cycle. Payment to a participant in respect of vested PSUs shall be made to such participant within 95 days after the last day of the performance cycle or upon a change of control. Upon the death of a participant, subject to the applicable award agreement, all PSUs granted to the participant which, prior to the participant’s death, had not vested, will immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant’s PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.

 

If a key employee’s employment is terminated for cause, any PSUs granted to the participant will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled as of the termination date. If a key employee’s employment is terminated without cause, by voluntary termination, or if the participant’s employment terminates due to retirement, all PSUs granted to the participant which, prior to such termination without cause, voluntary termination or retirement, as applicable, had not vested, will immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant’s PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed. If a participant becomes afflicted by a disability, all PSUs granted to the participant will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such PSUs, provided, however, that no PSUs may be redeemed during a leave of absence. Where a key employee’s employment is terminated due to disability, subject to the applicable award agreement, PSUs granted to such participant which had not vested will immediately terminate without payment and be cancelled, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant’s PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.

 

Where a consultant’s service to the Company terminates for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement and any other contractual commitments between the participant and the Company, all PSUs granted to such participant that have not vested will immediately be forfeited and cancelled, provided, however, that the Board may determine, in its discretion, the number of the participant’s PSUs that will vest based upon the extent to which the applicable performance criteria have been satisfied in that portion of the performance cycle that has lapsed.

 

Deferred Share Units

 

The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, grant awards of DSUs to directors in lieu of director fees (but not to key employees or consultants). Directors may also elect to receive any or all of their fees in DSUs in lieu of cash. A director becomes a participant effective as of the date he or she is first appointed or elected as a director and ceases to be a participant at the time he or she ceases to be a director for any reason. The number of DSUs to be granted to a participant shall be calculated by dividing the amount of fees by the market unit price on the grant date. The market unit price is defined in the LTIP as the value of a Share determined by reference to the five-day volume weighted average trading price of a Share on the immediately preceding five trading days on which trading in the Shares took place.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202530

 

 

 

Each participant shall be entitled to receive, subsequent to the effective date that the participant ceases to be a director for any reason or any earlier vesting period(s) set forth in the applicable award agreement, either: (a) that number of Shares equal to the number of DSUs granted to such participant; or (b) a cash payment in an amount equal to the market unit price of the DSUs granted to such participant on the trading day following the day that the participant ceases to be a director, net of applicable withholdings. In the event that the value of a DSU would be determined with reference to a period commencing at a fiscal quarter-end of the Company and ending prior to the public disclosure of interim financial statements for the quarter (or annual financial statements for the fourth quarter), the cash payment of the value of the DSUs will be made to the participant with reference to the five trading days immediately following the public disclosure of the interim financial statements for the quarter (or annual financial statements in the case of the fourth quarter). Upon the death of a participant, such participant’s estate shall be entitled to receive, within 120 days, a cash payment or Shares that would otherwise have been payable upon such participant ceasing to be a director.

 

Options

 

The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant awards of Options to directors, key employees and consultants. The number of Options to be granted, the exercise price(s) and the time(s) at which an Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, provided that the exercise price of Options shall not be lower than the market price of the Shares at the time the Option is granted, where market price is the closing market price of the Shares on TSX at the time of the grant, and further provided that the term of any Option shall not exceed ten years.

 

In the event of a change of control, each outstanding Option issued to a director or a key employee shall automatically become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, subject to the policies of the TSX. Upon the death of a director or key employee, any Option held by such participant shall be exercisable by the person(s) to whom the rights of the participant under the Option shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution for a period of 120 days or prior to the expiration of the Option period in respect of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death of such participant.

 

If a key employee is terminated for cause, no Option held shall be exercisable from the termination date. In the event that the employment of a key employee is terminated without cause, by voluntary termination or due to retirement or, in the case of directors, the participant ceases to be a director for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement, any Option held shall remain exercisable in full for a period of 60 days after the termination or cessation date (in the case of key employees, subject to any longer period set out in an applicable award agreement, which longer period may not exceed twelve months from such termination date) or prior to the expiration of the Option period in respect of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such participant was entitled to exercise the Option at such time. If a director or a key employee becomes afflicted by a disability, all Options granted to the participant will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such Options, provided that if, in the case of key employees, a participant’s employment is terminated due to disability, or in the case of directors, the participant ceases to be a director as a result of disability, subject to the applicable award agreement, any Option held by such participant shall remain exercisable for a period of 120 days after the termination or cessation date or prior to the expiration of the Option period in respect of the Option, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such participant was entitled to exercise the Option at such time.

 

In the case of consultants, if a participant ceases to be a consultant for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement and any other contractual commitments between the consultant and the Company, no Option held by such participant shall be exercisable from the date of termination of service.

 

If approved at the Meeting, the LTIP will contain (i) a “cashless exercise” feature that permits an Optionee to elect to deliver a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver to the Company an amount equal to the exercise price of the Options against delivery of the Shares to settle the applicable trade; and (ii) a “net exercise” feature that permits an Optionee to elect to exercise an Option or a portion thereof held by the Optionee by surrendering such Option or a portion thereof in consideration for the Company delivering the Shares to the Optionee but withholding the minimum number of the Shares otherwise deliverable in respect of the Options that are needed to pay for the exercise price of such Options.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202531

 

 

 

The number of Shares to be delivered on a net exercise is equal to the product of the number of Shares underlying the Options to be surrendered and the quotient of the Current Market Value of the Shares as at the date of the surrender less the Exercise Price of such Options and the Current Market Value of the Shares as at the date of the surrender.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

The LTIP provides that the Board may, from time to time, in its discretion, grant awards of SARs to directors, key employees and consultants, either on a stand-alone basis or in relation to any Options. SARs are awards that entitle the participant to receive an amount (the “SAR Amount”) equal to the excess, if any, of the current market price on the exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR (the “SAR Grant Price”), multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised. The current market price is defined in the LTIP as the last closing price of the Shares on the immediately preceding trading day prior to the relevant exercise date. The SAR Amount is payable in Shares in an amount equal to the SAR Amount divided by the current market price, provided that the applicable award agreement may provide that the Company may alternatively satisfy the SAR Amount by paying to the participant cash in an amount equal to the SAR Amount. The number of SARs to be granted, the SAR Grant Price and the time(s) at which a SAR may be exercised shall be determined by the Board and set out in an award agreement, provided that the SAR Grant Price shall not be lower than the exercise price permitted by the TSX and further provided that the term of any SAR shall not exceed ten years. The terms of, and SAR Grant Price of, any SAR granted in relation to an Option shall be the same as the terms and exercise price of the Option it is granted in relation to.

 

In the event of a change of control, each outstanding SAR issued to directors and key employees shall automatically become fully and immediately vested and exercisable, subject to the applicable award agreement and the policies of the TSX. Where, in the case of directors and key employees, a participant shall die while holding a SAR, any SAR held by such participant shall be exercisable by the person(s) to whom the rights of the participant under the SAR shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution for a period of 120 days or prior to the expiration of the exercise period in respect of the SAR, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such participant was entitled to exercise the SAR at the date of death of such participant.

 

Where the employment of a key employee is terminated for cause, no SAR held shall be exercisable from the termination date. In the event that the employment of a key employee is terminated without cause, by voluntary termination or due to retirement or, in the case of directors, the participant ceases to be a director for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement, any SAR held shall remain exercisable in full for a period of 60 days after the termination or cessation date or prior to the expiration of the exercise period in respect of the SAR, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such participant was entitled to exercise the SAR at such time. If a director or key employee becomes afflicted by a disability, all SARs granted to the participant will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of such SARs, provided that if, in the case of key employees, a participant’s employment is terminated due to disability, or in the case of directors, the participant ceases to be a director as a result of disability, subject to the applicable award agreement, any SAR held by such participant shall remain exercisable for a period of 120 days after the termination or cessation date or prior to the expiration of the exercise period in respect of the SAR, whichever is sooner, and then only to the extent that such participant was entitled to exercise the SAR at such time.

 

Where a consultant’s service to the Company terminates for any reason, subject to the applicable award agreement and any other contractual commitments between the participant and the Company, no SAR held by such participant shall be exercisable from the date of termination of service.

Governance

 

Our Board regularly reviews our governance processes and practices to make sure the Board continues to effectively oversee management and our business affairs, and to ensure our governance framework meets regulatory requirements and reflects evolving best practices. We believe our governance processes and practices are consistent with the Canadian Securities Administrators’ corporate governance guidelines, the TSX corporate governance rules and the Nasdaq Listing Rules for corporate governance of foreign private issuer publicly listed companies applicable to us.

 

Note to Shareholders regarding compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rules

 

The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is not required to comply with all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and may follow home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the Rule 5600 Series, the requirement to disclose third party director and nominee compensation set forth in Rule 5250(b)(3) and the requirement to distribute annual and interim reports set forth in Rule 5250(d), subject to several important exceptions, including a requirement that the Company have an audit committee that satisfies Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(3), and ensure that such audit committee’s members meet the independence requirement in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. The Company has reviewed the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements and confirms that the Company is in compliance with the Nasdaq corporate governance standards in all significant respects.

 

The manner in which the Company’s corporate governance practice differs from the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements is described in the Company’s Nasdaq Corporate Governance disclosure, which can be viewed on the Company’s website at https://www.uraniumroyalty.com/_resources/governance/Nasdaq-Statement-of-Corporate-Governance-Differences.pdf.

 

The Board of Directors

 

Board Chair, Committee Chairs, Lead Director, President & CEO

 

Chairman of the Board of Directors and Committee Chairs

 

Mr. Adnani, the Chairman of the Board, is the founder of the Company. The Chairman is responsible for providing leadership that enhances the effectiveness of the Board and chairing all Board meetings. The Chairman manages the Board’s affairs to assist the directors in carrying out their responsibilities and helps the Board operate cohesively. The Chairman works closely with the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to regularly evaluate, and in appropriate circumstances propose enhancements to, the Board’s governance structure and procedures.

The Board has not developed a separate written position description for the Chair and the Chair of each Board committee.

 

Lead Independent Director

 

The Board has appointed Ms. Patel, an independent member of the Board, as Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director’s primary responsibility is to ensure that the Board functions independently of management and to act as principal liaison between the independent directors and the non-independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer. The Board has developed a position description for the Lead Independent Director which provides that the Lead Independent Director shall, among other things:

 

in consultation with the Chairman, review and make recommendations with respect to the agenda for Board meetings;

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202534

 

 

 

ensure that independent directors have the opportunity to meet separately without non-independent directors and members of management of the Company;
request in camera sessions of the independent directors; and
provide leadership for the independent directors and ensure that the Board understands its responsibilities and can work cohesively.

 

The primary focus of the Lead Independent Director is to provide leadership for the independent directors and ensure that the Board’s agenda enables it to successfully carry out its duties. The Lead Independent Director chairs all independent director meetings and reports the results of these meetings to the non-independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer.

 

The position description of the Lead Independent Director sets out the full description of the responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director and is available on the Company’s website at www.uraniumroyalty.com.

 

President & Chief Executive Officer

 

The role of President and Chief Executive Officer is held by Scott Melbye. Mr. Melbye is also a director of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer’s principal duties and responsibilities are for planning the strategic direction of the Company, providing leadership to the Company, acting as a spokesperson for the Company, reporting to Shareholders, and overseeing the executive management of the Company.

 

The Board and the Chief Executive Officer have not developed a written position description for the Chief Executive Officer.

 

Mandate, roles and responsibilities

 

The Board is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board does not have a written mandate. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board is responsible for, among other things: (i) strategic planning for the Company; (ii) monitoring of the Company’s financial performance, financial reporting, financial risk management and oversight of policies and procedures; (iii) reviewing and, where appropriate, approving major corporate actions and internal controls of the Company; (iv) assessing risks facing the Company and reviewing options for their mitigation; (v) ensuring that the Company’s business is conducted with the highest standards of ethical conduct and in conformity with applicable laws and regulations; (vi) appointing officers of the Company, ensuring that they are qualified for their roles and planning their success as appropriate from time to time; and (vii) establishing and overseeing committees of the Board as appropriate, approving their mandates and approving any compensation of their members.

 

The Board delegates work to its committees to fulfil its responsibility to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board’s three formal standing committees are:

 

Audit Committee (see “Independence of Audit Committee” on page 36);
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (see “Nomination” on page 37); and
Compensation Committee (see “Compensation Governance” on page 19).

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202535

 

 

 

Independence of Audit Committee

 

Each member of the Audit Committee is considered “financially literate”, as defined in NI 52-110, and considered independent pursuant to NI 52-110, Rule 10a-3 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Robertson is an audit committee financial expert under the applicable criteria prescribed by the SEC in the general instructions of Form 40-F. The SEC has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an “expert” for any purpose, impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board in the absence of such designation, or affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board.

 

As required by NI 52-110, information about our Audit Committee is provided in our most recent annual information form dated July 16, 2025, which is available under our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on our website at www.uraniumroyalty.com.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202536

 

 

 

Building an effective Board

 

Independence

 

The Board is currently comprised of six members, four of whom are considered independent and two of whom are not independent, all members of the Board’s standing committees are independent.

 

The independence of the directors is determined in accordance with NI 52-110, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries. A “material relationship” is defined to mean a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment and includes an indirect material relationship. The Company also determines independence of its directors pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Nasdaq Listing Rules provides that no director qualifies as independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment.

 

Ms. Patel, Mr. Gregson, Ms. Wichers and Mr. Robertson are considered “independent” as provided by NI 52-110 and Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Adnani and Mr. Melbye are not considered “independent”. Mr. Adnani is not independent by virtue of his involvement with UEC as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Melbye is not independent by virtue of his involvement with the Company as its Chief Executive Officer.

 

On completion of the Meeting, the Company expects the Board will be comprised of six members, four of whom would be considered independent.

 

Separate Roles

 

The roles of the Chairman and of the President and Chief Executive Officer are separate. The Board believes that this separation increases the effectiveness of the Board and facilitates enhanced oversight of management.

 

Mr. Adnani, the Chairman of the Board, is not independent. To promote strong Board leadership, encourage open discussion and debate at Board meetings and avoid potential conflicts of interest, the Board has appointed Ms. Patel, an independent member of the Board, as Lead Independent Director.

 

Private Independent Directors’ Meetings

 

The independent directors are also able to meet at any time without members of management and non-independent directors being present. The independent directors are actively and regularly involved in reviewing the operations of the Company, have full access to management and are encouraged to seek the advice of financial, legal or other advisors when necessary. The independent directors discharge their responsibilities for independent oversight of management through their representation on the Board.

 

During the financial year ended April 30, 2025, the independent directors met four times. The independent directors meet at least once each year or more frequently as necessary to deal with current business and affairs. The independent directors hold meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. In order to facilitate open and candid discussion among independent directors, communication among the independent directors also occurs on an informal and ongoing basis as such need arises.

 

Nomination

 

The Board’s responsibilities relating to corporate governance guidelines and practices, the identification, nomination and assessment of current and potential new directors are discharged by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised of Ms. Patel (chair), Mr. Gregson, Ms. Wichers and Mr. Robertson. Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is considered independent pursuant to NI 52-110 and Nasdaq Listing Rules. See also “Building an effective Board – Independence”.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202537

 

 

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, together with the Board, have primary responsibility for identifying potential new directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board in respect of filling vacancies on the Board and as to nominees for the Board. On an annual basis, the Board reviews its strategies to determine the composition of the Board and the appropriate candidates to be put forth for election as directors at annual general meetings. The review takes into account the desirability of maintaining a balance of skills, experience, background and diverse perspectives.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing and establishing corporate governance guidelines and practices for the Board and the Company, for assessing the overall effectiveness and composition of the Board and committees of the Board and for providing recommendations to the Board for suitable nominations of directors at annual general meetings of Shareholders and the filling of vacancies on the Board.

 

Majority voting for directors

 

In accordance with and subject to the CBCA, directors stand for election each year at the annual meeting of shareholders, and a separate vote of shareholders is taken with respect to each candidate nominated for director. If there is only one candidate nominated for each position available on the Board (an uncontested election), each candidate is elected only if the number of votes cast in their favour represents a majority of the votes cast for and against them by the shareholders who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

 

Assessments

 

The Board establishes appropriate practices for the regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board, its committees and its members. Such assessment considers, in the case of the Board or a committee of the Board, its mandate or charter; and, in the case of an individual director, the applicable position description(s), as well as the competencies and skills each individual director is expected to bring to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends to the Board any changes that would enhance the performance of the Board based on a variety of assessment criteria.

 

For the financial year ended April 30, 2025, the Board conducted a board effectiveness assessment with regard to each of our Company’s directors. Our Board determined that each of the Company’s directors meets a high standard in terms of meeting attendance, preparation and engagement with the Company. All are highly effective and bring a diverse set of backgrounds and expertise to the Board.

 

Commitment and Tenure

 

Meeting attendance

 

The Board meets as many times as necessary to address all current affairs and business. Each committee of the Board meets at least once each year or more frequently as necessary to deal with current business and affairs. The Audit Committee meets at least four times each year. See also “Election of Directors – Director Attendance” on page 17 for director attendance records.

 

Director Commitments

 

The Board believes that each of its members should have sufficient time and attention to devote to board duties and to otherwise fulfill the responsibilities required of directors. In assessing whether directors and nominees for director have sufficient time and attention to devote to Board duties, the Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider, among other things, whether directors may be “overboarded”, which refers to the situation where a director serves on an excessive number of boards. See also “Election of Directors – Other Directorships” on page 17.

 

Board Renewal

 

The Company does not have a mandatory retirement age or limit on the number of terms that a director may serve. The Board recognizes the value of board renewal and the perspectives that new directors can bring and considers these factors when nominating candidates for directorship and conducting assessments of the Board’s performance. The Board balances these interests against the value of having members with corporate and industry-specific knowledge that can be gained through continuous service.

 

 Other Information Management information circular 202538

 

 

 

Orientation and Continuing Education

 

The Board does not have any formal procedures to orient new Board members or provide continuing education for directors. When a new director is appointed, such director has the opportunity to meet other directors, executives, management and employees of the Company with orientation tailored to the needs and experience of the new director, as well as overall needs of the Board. New Board members are provided with information respecting the Company and its business and operations.

 

The Company relies on the advice of its professional advisors to update the knowledge of its Board members in respect of changes in relevant policies and regulations. A number of directors are also directors of other publicly traded companies and are benefiting from exposure to boards of directors of such companies. New Board members are generally selected on the basis of their breadth of experience with respect to the mining industry, having regard to the requirements for appropriate skill sets required by the Company.

 

As an ongoing process, the Board considers executive and management development (including training and monitoring of senior executives and management) based mainly on periodic reports from the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Board members are encouraged to communicate with executives, management, auditors and technical consultants to keep themselves current with the business and affairs of the Company and with respect to developments within the mining industry. Board members are also encouraged to utilize the resources available at the Institute of Corporate Directors website which the Company has subscribed to. Board members have free and full access to the Company’s records at all times.

 

Diversity

 

The Company believes that diverse perspectives enhance its organizational strength, problem solving ability and opportunity for innovation. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that diversity of skill and experience is a critical and valuable consideration in the assessment of the Board, its composition and prospective nominee candidates as well as the composition of its senior management team.

 

The Company has not adopted a written policy relating to the identification and nomination of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities (collectively, “Diversity Groups”) as directors, executive officers and members of senior management as the Company generally has and will continue to consider diversity when considering candidates. The Company has not adopted a formal target regarding any of the four designated Diversity Groups in director, executive officer or senior management positions. The Company believes that diversity is an important factor when identifying candidates for director, executive officer and senior management positions and, to that end, encourages members of the Diversity Groups to apply for open positions. The Company evaluates diversity as one of a variety of factors when considering a candidate, including their skills, expertise, experience and personal characteristics.

 

When considering the composition of, and individuals to nominate or hire to, the Board, executive officer positions and members of senior management, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board, as applicable, will consider diversity from a number of aspects, including, but not limited to, gender, age, ethnicity and cultural diversity.

 

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes gender, age, ethnicity, cultural diversity and skill into consideration as part of its overall recruitment and selection process in respect of potential candidates for the Board and executive officer positions. Accordingly, when searching for new directors, executive officers, and members of senior management, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the level of representation of the four designated Diversity Groups on the Board and among the Company’s executive officers and senior management. This will be achieved by monitoring on an ongoing basis the level of representation of the four designated Diversity Groups on the Board, in executive officer and senior management positions.

 

The Company currently has two female directors, representing 33% of our total directors, and one female member of senior management representing 20% of our total senior management. The Company currently has two directors who are members of visible minorities, representing 33% of our total directors. No Indigenous peoples or persons with disabilities currently serve on the Board or currently hold any executive officer positions within the Company. The Company continues to be committed to ongoing review with respect to the diversity of its directors, executive officers and members of senior management.

Culture and Conduct

 

Our Code of Conduct and other governance policies

 

Code of Conduct

 

The Company has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) to assist its employees, officers and directors to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct in corporate affairs and to encourage a culture of honesty, accountability and fair business practice. The Code of Conduct addresses fair dealings, compliance with laws, regulations and rules, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, accepting and giving gifts, public disclosure, shareholder relations, use of the Company’s property, handling of confidential information, discrimination and harassment and reporting of violations of the Code of Conduct. Any person subject to the Code of Conduct will be required to disclose interests that may give rise to conflicts of interest. The Code of Conduct also addresses matters concerning public disclosure and provides that communications with the public concerning the Company are full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable, and in accordance with the disclosure requirements under applicable securities laws. The Board will have the ultimate responsibility for the administration of the Code of Conduct. The Board monitors compliance with the Code of Conduct by requiring any person subject to the Code of Conduct to report breaches thereof to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair. To ensure the directors exercise independent judgement in considering transactions and agreements in which a director or executive officer has a material interest, any such director or executive officer removes himself or herself during any related Board discussions and such director does not cast a vote on any matter in respect of which such director has a material interest.

 

The Code of Conduct is available under our SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.uraniumroyalty.com.

 

Other Governance Policies

 

The Company has adopted an insider trading policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”), which applies to all employees, officers and directors of, and consultants and contractors to, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company who receive or have access to “material non-public information” (as such term is defined in the Insider Trading Policy). This group of people, members of their immediate families, and members of their households are referred to as “insiders” in the Insider Trading Policy. The Insider Trading Policy also applies to any person who receives material non-public information from any insider.

 

The objective of the Insider Trading Policy is to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities occurs without actual or perceived violation of applicable securities laws. The Insider Trading Policy provides for trading bans during which insiders and other persons who are subject to the policy are prohibited from trading in securities of the Company. The Insider Trading Policy also prohibits insiders and other persons who are subject to the policy from trading in securities of the Company during the period commencing on the first day after the end of each fiscal quarter and ending one trading day following the date of the public disclosure of the financial results for that quarter. Additional trading bans may also be prescribed from time to time to suspend trading because of developments known to the Company and not yet disclosed to the public.

 

The Company has adopted a whistleblower policy (the “Whistleblower Policy”) wherein directors, officers and employees of the Company are provided with the mechanics by which they may raise concerns with respect to any unlawful, illegal or otherwise improper behaviour. The Whistleblower Policy provides information regarding who to contact with a complaint or concern and how the Company will respond to a complaint or concern.

 

The Company has adopted an anti-corruption and corporate disclosure policy (the “Anti-Corruption Policy”) wherein directors, officers and employees of the Company are provided with supplemental guidance to the anti-corruption provisions of the Code of Conduct and provided further details relating to the Company’s anti-corruption policies including prevention of improper payments, accounting standards and reporting standards.

Risk Management

 

The Board ensures that management identifies the principal risks of the Company’s business and implement appropriate systems and procedures to manage such risks. The Board regularly reviews the Company’s goals and strategies with management while taking into account the new opportunities and key risks of the business.

 

The Board from time to time reviews and considers general and specific risks faced by the Company. The Board closely monitors and analyzes the potential vulnerability of the Company’s operations and financial condition in light of risks that arise in respect of the Company’s business. Management is tasked with identifying risks and assessing each risk’s impact, likelihood of occurring, and the effectiveness of current processes to manage and mitigate any such risks.

 

The Company may be subject to cyber-attacks and other information security breaches from time to time. The Board is responsible for overseeing cyber and data security risks and associated mitigation strategies, and will meet from time to time, or as otherwise deemed necessary, to assess any such risks and to review the Company’s risk management practices. The Company’s risk and exposure to cyber-related issues cannot be fully mitigated as a result of, among other things, the constant evolving nature of these threats. To date, the Company has not experienced any material losses or experienced significant harm relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches. However, there can be no assurance that we will not incur such losses in the future.

 

Environment, Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

 

In the financial year ended April 30, 2025, the Company updated its materiality assessment of its environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices to identify key environmental and social topics that may have a material impact on the organization. Similar to previous years, the Company identified the sustainability-related risks in its portfolio and related to new royalty and streaming arrangements as material to the Company. The Company seeks to identify risks through our due diligence process. Our ESG-related due diligence consists of the upfront identification of related risks, and the prioritization of those operators and mines with lower inherent risks, where feasible. Our due diligence process, amongst other things, examines aspects of social license, environmental compliance and licensing, jurisdictional risk and corporate governance practices.

 

The Board has adopted a sustainability policy which sets out the Company’s commitment to the environment and its community and to responsible and sustainable uranium mining as a means to create long-term value for its stakeholders and a driver for positive social change. The Company’s sustainability policy does not form part of, nor is it incorporated by reference into, this Circular. The Company’s sustainability policy is available on the Company’s website at https://www.uraniumroyalty.com/company/corporate-governance/.

 

The Company publishes its Sustainability Reports annually, which aim to enhance transparency by communicating the Company’s policies, priorities and performance to its stakeholders. These reports include disclosures containing relevant, industry-specific information and data aligned with globally recognized standards, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. The Company’s Sustainability Reports do not form part of, nor are the incorporated by reference into, this Circular.
