Consolidated Uranium Inc. (“CUR”, the “Company”, “Consolidated
Uranium”) (TSXV: CUR) (OTCQX: CURUF) is pleased to provide an
update on the previously announced planned spin-out of Premier
American Uranium Inc. (“
Premier American Uranium”
or “
PUR”), through a plan of arrangement under the
Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the
“Spin-Out”). As part of the Arrangement, CUR is
transferring ownership of certain indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries that hold eight U.S. Department of Energy leases and
certain patented claims located in Colorado to PUR in exchange for
7,753,752 common shares of PUR (“
PUR Shares”). PUR
is currently a majority-controlled subsidiary of CUR focused on the
acquisition, exploration, and development of uranium projects in
Wyoming and Colorado.
All of the conditions precedent to completion of
the Spin-Out have been satisfied, including among others, receipt
of the final order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
(Commercial List) and receipt of conditional approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) for listing of the
PUR Shares (the “Listing”).
Accordingly, the Company is pleased to announce
the anticipated closing date for the Spin-Out is November 27, 2023
(the “Record Date”). CUR shareholders as of 12:01
a.m. on the Record Date will receive their pro rata portion of the
3,876,786 PUR Shares that are being distributed by CUR pursuant to
the Arrangement. The precise number of PUR Shares to be distributed
to each CUR shareholder will be determined on the Record Date, but
is currently anticipated to be approximately 0.0374 of a PUR Share
for each CUR share held by such holder as at the Record Date. In
accordance with the procedures of CDS Clearing and Depository
Services Inc., the payment date is November 29, 2023, and CUR
Shareholders can expect to receive their PUR Shares on or about
such date. The Listing is subject to the final approval of the TSXV
in accordance with its original listing requirements and is
expected to be completed shortly after the payment date.
Update on Private Placement by Premier
American Uranium
Further to the Company’s press release dated
August 24, 2023, the Company is also pleased to announce that PUR
completed a second tranche (the “Second Tranche”)
of its previously announced fully marketed private placement (the
“PUR Offering”), representing a partial
exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the Agents (as
defined below), for gross proceeds of C$207,049.50 from the sale of
138,033 additional subscription receipts of PUR (each, a
“Subscription Receipt”) at a price of C$1.50 per
Subscription Receipt (the “Offering Price”). Red
Cloud Securities Inc. acted as lead agent and sole bookrunner on
behalf of a syndicate of agents including PI Financial Corp.
(together, the “Agents”).
The terms of the Subscription Receipts sold
pursuant to the Second Tranche are identical to the Subscription
Receipts sold previously pursuant to the PUR Offering. In addition,
PUR issued 9,335 broker warrants (the “Broker
Warrants”) to the Agents pursuant to the closing of the
Second Tranche. Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one PUR Share at the Offering Price until August 24, 2026.
The proceeds of the Second Tranche, net of the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, will be held in
escrow and not released to PUR unless the escrow release conditions
(the “Escrow Release Conditions”) are satisfied on
or before December 22, 2023 (the date of satisfaction or waiver, as
applicable, of such escrow release conditions being, the
“Escrow Release Date”).
This news release does not constitute an offer
of securities for sale in the United States. The securities offered
have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and such securities may not be
offered or sold within the United States absent U.S. registration
or an applicable exemption from U.S. registration requirements.
Merger with IsoEnergy
Completion of the Spin-Out Transaction will not
impact the previously announced merger (the “Merger” or the
“Arrangement”) involving CUR and IsoEnergy Ltd.
(“IsoEnergy”). Completion of the Spin-Out is a
condition precedent to completion of the Merger and, accordingly,
the Spin-Out will be completed in advance of closing of the Merger.
In addition to the right to receive PUR Shares under the Spin-Out,
Shareholders are entitled to receive the consideration under the
Merger comprised of 0.500 of a common share of IsoEnergy for each
CUR share held.
The special meeting of Shareholders (the
“Meeting”) to approve the Merger will be held at
the offices of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Suite 3200, Bay
Adelaide Centre – North Tower, 40 Temperance St., Toronto, Ontario
and online at meetnow.global/MJFSQPW on November 28, 2023 at
10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). Shareholders of record as of October 16,
2023, are eligible to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders must submit
their proxies for the Meeting before 10:00 am (Toronto Time) on
Friday, November 24, 2023.

at the time, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will
prove to be accurate.
