Pursuant to the Joint Venture’s LLC Operating Agreement, the Company agreed to contribute cash of $66,667 in exchange for a 66.667% membership interest and Framatome agreed to contribute cash of $33,333 in exchange for a 33.333% membership interest. In addition to the initial capital contributions, the Company will provide intellectual property licensing related to advanced fuel product technology and manufacturing know-how and to lease specialized fuel-manufacturing equipment to the Joint Venture. Framatome has agreed to provide access to its Richland site physical plant space and licensed nuclear infrastructure, to lease its specialty fuel building to the Joint Venture, and to license its manufacturing and operational expertise.
