Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On April 5, 2021, Uranium Energy Corp. (the “Company”),
entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors, pursuant
to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 3,636,364 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to such investors
at a price of $3.30 per Share for gross proceeds of $12,000,001.20 (the “Offering”).
The Company entered into an engagement agreement,
dated April 5, 2021 (the “Engagement Agreement”), whereby the Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as its exclusive
placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the Offering. The
Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Shares in a registered direct offering. As
consideration, the Company agreed to: (i) pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised
in the Offering; and (ii) issue to the Placement Agent, on a private placement basis, transferrable common stock purchase warrants of
the Company (the “Agent Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 5.0% of the Shares
issued on the closing of the Offering and having a term of five years from the commencement of sales and an exercise price equal to 125%
of the Offering price per Share in the Offering. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for expenses in
an aggregate amount of approximately $65,950.
The net proceeds to the Company from the registered
direct public offering, after deducting the placement agent fees and expenses and the Company's estimated offering expenses, are expected
to be approximately $11,300,000.
The Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus
supplement dated as of April 5, 2021, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection
with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236571), which became effective on March
3, 2020 and the base prospectus dated as of March 3, 2020 contained in such registration statement.
The legal opinion of McMillan LLP relating to
the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The description of terms and conditions of the
Engagement Agreement, the Agent Warrants and the Securities Purchase Agreement set forth herein do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Engagement Agreement, the form of Agent Warrant and the form of Securities Purchase
Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
The Engagement Agreement and the Securities
Purchase Agreement contain representations and warranties that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other in the
context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties.
The provisions of the Engagement Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties
contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements and are not intended as documents
for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and
agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the
SEC.
