NOTICE OF ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2025

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

2024 was a foundational year for Energy Fuels, as we laid the groundwork to expand our uranium business into what we believe will become one of the most important critical minerals companies in the United States. Through the achievement of multiple significant milestones in 2024, we considerably advanced our diversification strategy, which has the potential to secure leading positions in multiple high-growth and in-demand critical commodity markets over the coming years, while at the same time expanding our position as a leading U.S. uranium producer.

It is such an exciting time for Energy Fuels and its shareholders, and we strive to keep you informed and engaged at every step along the way.

It is therefore with great pleasure that I invite you, my fellow shareholder, on behalf of the Energy Fuels Board of Directors, to the 2025 annual and special meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") to be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. The Meeting will again be held via a live audio webcast with integrated slides and real-time balloting. Our Proxy Statement, beginning on page 4, offers useful information regarding this year's items of business, details on how to attend and participate in the virtual meeting, and how to cast your vote by proxy or virtually during the Meeting. The Meeting is also an excellent opportunity to hear from President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Chalmers, who will give his corporate presentation after the official business, and to pose your questions to the management team in a live setting.

Strategic Perspective

We are an established U.S. uranium producer with the only operating and fully licensed uranium mill in the U.S., three uranium mines currently in production, and a pipeline of other mines and properties on standby or in permitting or development that are being maintained and advanced to provide long-term, large-scale uranium production as market conditions warrant. However, not content resting on our laurels, we are always striving to improve long-term value to our shareholders, customers and employees. To this end, we are implementing a commodity-diversification strategy aimed at delivering significant long-term, high margin cashflows while buffering our exposure to the market challenges posed by reliance on a single commodity. This involves creatively leveraging our existing expertise and valuable facilities, licenses and permits to expand our product lines.

Our innovative strategy hinges on producing valuable materials from ores and raw materials that naturally contain uranium (or that are co-located with such feedstocks) and maximizing the processing power of our White Mesa Mill (the "White Mesa Mill" or "Mill") to produce uranium, rare earth elements ("REEs") and vanadium products, as well as potentially the radium needed to create radioisotopes utilized in cancer-fighting targeted alpha therapies ("TAT"). Our REE processing at the Mill is being fed from monazite derived from heavy mineral sands ("HMS") ores, that also provide a low-cost source of uranium. The Company will also recover other HMS products (e.g., titanium and zirconium minerals) from our HMS ores at other Company facilities.

We have been implementing this strategy since 2021, first having demonstrated our ability to commercially produce a mixed REE carbonate first from monazite ores and most recently through the production of separated REE oxides at our state-of-the-art REE separation facilities at the White Mesa Mill, which were commissioned in 2024. To further secure our supply of REE feedstock and to control future costs, Energy Fuels expanded into the mature HMS mining industry in 2023. The HMS industry primarily targets titanium and zirconium minerals, including ilmenite, rutile and zircon, but HMS mines also produce monazite as a low-cost byproduct, presenting a potentially significant cost advantage for Energy Fuels. Monazite concentrate from HMS mines is a superior feedstock for REE production due to its higher grades and excellent distribution of both "light" and "heavy" rare earth oxides, including "magnet" oxides such as neodymium, praseodymium, terbium, dysprosium, samarium and others needed for critical defense technologies.

In time, we expect our new HMS business to offer consistent revenue and free cashflow to add to our existing and expanding uranium and REE oxide revenues, thereby enhancing Energy Fuels' future potential profits and cashflows.

Through this strategy, we are not only diversifying our revenue sources but are also providing critical minerals that are important for national security and technological growth.

Asset-Rich Company

Energy Fuels has been the largest U.S. producer of uranium for the past several years. Indeed, uranium remains the foundation of our business as the touchstone of all our other business lines, which have one key element in common with uranium: a need for the responsible handling of radioactive content. This is a need that we are positioned to meet by first and primarily extracting uranium from our Mill feedstocks before moving on to their secondary extractive applications. We are actively mining uranium ore from our high-grade Pinyon Plain mine in Arizona and our La Sal Complex in Utah. We are also preparing our fully permitted Nichols Ranch in situ recovery ("ISR") facility in Wyoming and our Whirlwind mine in Colorado for potential restarts as markets continually improve, and we are advancing three other large uranium deposits toward production later this decade, including Roca Honda in New Mexico, Sheep Mountain in Wyoming and Bullfrog in Utah. Uranium supply and demand market fundamentals appear very promising, and we continue to monitor them closely in the hope that they justify final investment decisions and plans to move our pending projects into production.

We are also producing commercial quantities of advanced REE materials in the U.S. while evaluating opportunities to move even further down the REE supply chain. Our neodymium and praseodymium (“NdPr”) oxide is currently being tested and validated by REE metal, alloy, magnet and electric vehicle ("EV") drivetrain manufacturers, including through our recently announced deal with POSCO International. So far, we are pleased to report positive initial feedback on the quality and performance of our material!

On the HMS front, last year's acquisition of Base Resources Limited ("Base Resources") brought us a highly experienced and successful team with industry expertise to manage our HMS business and asset development in the southern hemisphere. In addition, we were able to add the Madagascar-based Toliara Project to Energy Fuels' portfolio of developing projects. The Toliara Project was under a suspension by the Madagascar government at the time of the acquisition, but, within two months of completing our acquisition, we were able to work with the Malagasy Government to have the suspension lifted and to secure a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth key fiscal terms for the project.

We are working to finalize our definitive agreements with the Malagasy Government and to resume drilling and local social programs at the Toliara Project. We at Energy Fuels consider it to be the top undeveloped HMS project in the industry, able to produce significant quantities of titanium and zirconium minerals, plus low-cost monazite feedstock for our Utah REE processing, with the necessary authorizations and protective measures in place.

iii

In combination with our other HMS projects, the Bahia Project in Brazil and our Donald Project joint venture with Astron Corporation Limited ("Astron") in Australia, we believe we have now secured reliable long-term supplies of monazite, ultimately reducing our reliance on third parties. Together, these HMS projects have the potential, in time, to make Energy Fuels a world-significant leader in both the HMS and REE industries while allowing us to maintain or expand our position as a U.S. leader in uranium production.

Key to it all is our White Mesa Mill. As the only currently operational conventional uranium mill in the U.S., it plays a vital role in not only the country's emerging nuclear energy renaissance but also globally where nuclear has become the energy source of choice for artificial intelligence, data centers and even crypto currency "mining." Yet, the Mill has so much more to offer. It has unique advantages that allow us to produce both "light" and "heavy" REE oxides within the U.S. and that will potentially enable us to extract the radium needed for medical isotopes critical to TAT cancer treatments. Neither of these undertakings is a small feat, and we pride ourselves on trailblazing in both industries within the U.S. through innovation and our enduring uranium-based expertise. We are ahead of the curve, and we plan to stay that way.

Corporate Citizenship

While pushing ahead in several critical industries, we never forget our foundation, both in uranium and as a company committed to being a good corporate citizen and a steward of the environment. We are extremely proud of having recently taken an historic step in building a long-term relationship with the Navajo Nation, the largest and most populous recognized Native American tribe in the U.S. today, through the signing of a landmark agreement centered on transparency, accountability and respect. Through the agreement, we established a framework for providing assurances to the Navajo Nation that each of our ore transports on state and federal highways crossing their lands is done safely and respectfully. The agreement also sets the stage for Energy Fuels to help the Navajo Nation clean up historic abandoned uranium mines across its lands, which are a relic from the U.S. government's Cold War-era uranium programs. In particular, we have agreed to accept uranium-bearing materials from the cleanup efforts in order to extract the remaining uranium at the Mill. In doing so, we are not only playing our part toward remedying an injustice done to the Navajo people by a U.S. uranium industry predating both our Company and today's stringent regulatory standards but also recycling uranium that has for over half a century been lost to disposal by abandonment and can be given new life as a source of clean nuclear energy. We are proud to have set the gold standard for corporate/indigenous cooperation in the Four Corners region of the U.S. through this agreement and encourage others to join us in pursuing unified goals and means centered on respect for culture and environmentalism.

As a Board, acting closely with our executive management team, we strive to achieve the highest levels of accountability and sound corporate governance practices in representing you, our shareholders. We remain committed to doing all that we can toward ensuring that Energy Fuels is on a socially responsible and profitable path, providing the carbon emission-free nuclear energy and critical mineral supply chain security that the U.S. and its allies require. Trust me when I say, you are in good hands.

The Board of Directors and I thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

/s/ J. Birks Bovaird
Chair of the Board of Directors

PROXY STATEMENT

The information contained in this Proxy Statement ("Proxy Statement") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of management of Energy Fuels Inc. (the "Company") to be used at the Meeting to be held by way of a live audio webcast through the Lumi/Equiniti Virtual AGM platform (the "Virtual Platform") at https://web.lumiconnect.com/255057223, password "ef2025" (case-sensitive), on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (MDT) (the "Meeting"), and at all adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

In order to make the Meeting as convenient and resource efficient as possible for its shareholders, the Company will again be hosting an entirely virtual Meeting in 2025.

The Meeting will be conducted solely as a virtual meeting of shareholders via a live audio webcast through the Virtual Platform. You can attend the Meeting online at https://web.lumiconnect.com/255057223 by clicking "I have a control number" and entering your unique 11-digit control number located on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice"), followed by the password "ef2025" (case-sensitive). You will have the ability to submit questions during the Meeting via the Virtual Platform. See "Instructions for the Meeting," below. It is expected that the solicitation will be made primarily by mail on or about May 1, 2025, but proxies may also be solicited personally by Directors, officers or regular employees of the Company. The solicitation of proxies by this Proxy Statement is being made by or on behalf of the management of the Company. The total cost of the solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Except as otherwise indicated, information in this Proxy Statement is given as of April 17, 2025 and all dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement are officers and/or Directors of the Company ("Management Nominees"). A shareholder of the Company has the right to appoint a person other than the persons specified in such proxy card and who need not be a shareholder of the Company to attend and act for the shareholder and on the shareholder's behalf at the meeting. Such right may be exercised by striking out the names of the persons specified in the proxy, inserting the name of the person to be appointed in the blank space provided in the proxy, signing the proxy and returning it in the reply envelope in the manner set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Registered shareholders who wish to appoint a person other than the Management Nominees identified in the form of proxy card or voting instruction form (including non-registered shareholders who wishes to appoint themselves to attend the Meeting) must carefully follow the instructions in this Proxy Statement and on their form of proxy card or voting instruction form; the shareholder's control number should be provided to the proxyholder in advance, as it is required in order to vote at the Meeting. Failure to obtain such control number from the registered shareholder will make it impossible to participate in the Meeting and will result in the proxyholder only being able to attend as a guest. Guests will be able to listen and submit written questions to the Meeting but will not be able to vote. A shareholder of the Company who has given a proxy may revoke it by an instrument in writing, including another completed proxy card, executed by the shareholder or the shareholder's attorney authorized in writing, deposited at the registered office of the Company, or at the offices of Equiniti by mail to 55 Challenger Road, 2^nd Floor, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 07660 or by fax to 1-718-765-8730 or by email to proxyvote@astfinancial.com, or by telephone to 1-888-776-9437, or by internet voting through www.voteproxy.com, up to 12:00 p.m. (noon) (EDT) on the second business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof.

VOTING OF SHARES REPRESENTED BY MANAGEMENT PROXIES

The Management Nominees named in the enclosed proxy card will vote the common shares in respect of which they are appointed by proxy on any ballot that may be called for in accordance with the instructions thereon. If a shareholder of the Company specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly. In the absence of such instructions, such shares will be voted in favor of each of the matters referred to herein.

The enclosed proxy card confers discretionary authority upon the Management Nominees named therein with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters, if any, which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Proxy Statement, the management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgement of the named proxy holder.

VOTING BY NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, common shares owned by a person (a "non-registered owner") are registered either (a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the non-registered owner deals with in respect of the common shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered registered savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited in Canada ("CDS"), or The Depository Trust Company in the United States) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

In accordance with applicable laws, non-registered owners who have advised their Intermediary that they do not object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information to issuers whose securities they beneficially own ("Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners,"or "NOBOs") will receive by mail a letter from the Company with respect to the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy. This Proxy Statement and the Notice of Meeting may be found at and downloaded from http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/23865/.

NOBOs who have standing instructions with the Intermediary for physical copies of this Proxy Statement will receive by mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy, this Proxy Statement and the Notice of Meeting.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy to non-registered owners who have advised their Intermediary that they object to the Intermediary providing their ownership information ("Objecting Beneficial Owners,"or "OBOs") unless an OBO has waived the right to receive them. Often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward proxy-related materials to OBOs. Generally, OBOs who have not waived the right to receive proxy-related materials will either:

(a) be given a proxy card which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number and class of securities beneficially owned by the OBO but which is not otherwise completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the proxy card, this proxy card is not required to be signed by the non-registered owner when submitting the proxy. In this case, the OBO who wishes to vote by proxy should otherwise properly complete the proxy card and deliver it as specified; or

(b) be given a Voting Instruction Form which the Intermediary must follow. The OBO should properly complete and sign the Voting Instruction Form and submit 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 owners to direct the voting of the common shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered owner who receives either proxy card wish to vote at the Meeting if a ballot is called, the non-registered owner should strike out the persons named in the proxy card and insert the non-registered owner's name in the blank space provided. Non-registered owners should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary including those regarding when and where the proxy card or Voting Instruction Form is to be delivered.

Management of the Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy to OBOs. An OBO will not receive the Notice and Access Package unless the Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

BROKER NON-VOTES

In the United States, brokers and other intermediaries holding shares in street name for their customers are generally required to vote the shares in the manner directed by their customers. If their customers do not give any direction, brokers may vote the securities at their discretion on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Other than the Proposal 2 for the appointment of KPMG LLP as our auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, all of the matters to be voted on at the Meeting, including Proposal 1 to elect the Directors of the Company and Proposal 3 to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass an ordinary resolution amending the Company's Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan to increase share authorization limits, are non-routine matters and brokers may not vote the securities held in street name for their customers in relation to these items of business without direction from their customers.

The absence of a vote on a non-routine matter is referred to as a broker non-vote. Any securities represented at the Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact in the election of Directors or any other matter to be voted on at the Meeting, except to the extent that the failure to vote for an individual nominee results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of votes cast for the election of Directors. For purposes of the Company's majority voting policy, a broker non-vote is not considered to be a vote withheld.

DISTRIBUTION OF MEETING MATERIALS TO NON-OBJECTING BENEFICIAL OWNERS

The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy is being sent to both registered and non-registered owners of the securities using notice and access pursuant to applicable laws. Electronic copies of this Proxy Statement and the Notice of Meeting may be found and downloaded from http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/23865/. If you are a NOBO, and the Company or its agent has sent the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

The Company (and not the Intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MEETING

Once again, this year's Meeting will be in a completely virtual format. There will be no physical Meeting location. The Meeting will be conducted by way of a live audio webcast through the Virtual Platform with integrated slides and real-time balloting.

Instructions on Voting at the Meeting:

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to attend the Meeting and vote in real time, provided they are connected to the internet and follow the instructions in this Proxy Statement. Non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to attend the Meeting as guests but will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

Registered shareholders who wish to appoint a person other than the Management Nominees identified in the proxy card or voting instruction form (including non-registered shareholders who wish to appoint themselves to attend the Meeting) must carefully follow the instructions in this Proxy Statement and on their proxy card or voting instruction form; the shareholder's control number should be provided to the proxyholder in advance, as it is required in order to vote at the Meeting. Failure to obtain such control number from the registered shareholder will make it impossible to participate in the Meeting and will result in the proxyholder only being able to attend as a guest. Guests will be able to listen to and submit written questions in the Meeting but will not be able to vote.

How to Vote:

You have two ways to vote your shares:

(1) by submitting your proxy card or other voting instruction form as per instructions indicated; or

(2) during the Meeting by online ballot, when called for, through the Virtual Platform.

Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered shareholders who have duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) that attend the Meeting online will be able to vote by completing a ballot online, when called for, during the Meeting through the Virtual Platform.

Guests (including non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) can log into the Meeting as set out below. Guests will be able to listen and submit written questions to the Meeting but will not be able to vote during the Meeting.

To Access and Vote at the Meeting:

(1) Step 1: Log into the Virtual Platform online at https://web.lumiconnect.com/255057223

(2) Step 2: Follow these instructions:

Registered shareholders: Click "I have a control number" and then enter your unique 11-digit control number and password "ef2025" (case-sensitive). The 11-digit number located on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials received from Equiniti is your control number. If you use your control number to log into the Meeting, any vote you cast at the Meeting will revoke any proxy you previously submitted. If you do not wish to revoke a previously submitted proxy, you should not vote during the Meeting.

Duly appointed proxyholders: Click "I have a control number" and then enter your unique 11-digit control number and the password "ef2025" (case sensitive). Proxyholders who have been duly appointed should ensure they receive the registered shareholder's control number in advance, as it is required in order to vote at the Meeting.

Guests: Click "Guest" and then complete the online form.

It is your responsibility to ensure internet connectivity for the duration of the Meeting and you should allow ample time to log into the Virtual Platform before the Meeting begins.

Non-Registered Shareholders Obtaining a Control Number to Vote During the Meeting:

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, you are a non-registered shareholder (or "Beneficial Owner") of those shares, which are considered to be held in "street name." If you are a Beneficial Owner, you should have received a proxy card and voting instruction form from your broker rather than directly from the Company. Simply complete and mail the proxy card as instructed by your broker to ensure that your vote is counted. If your broker offers Internet or telephone voting, you may vote your shares using one of those methods.

To vote instead at the Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker and register in advance with Equiniti in order to get your unique 11-digit control number. Contact your broker to request a legal proxy. To register to participate in the Meeting, you must submit to Equiniti proof of your legal proxy from your broker reflecting the number of your shares, along with your name and email address.

Requests for registration should be directed to proxy@astfinancial.com or to facsimile number 1-718-765-8730.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Proposal 1 - Election of Directors

Pursuant to the articles of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") may consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of fifteen Directors, who are elected annually. The Board is currently composed of eleven Directors, and management is proposing that eleven Directors be elected at the Meeting.

The Company has adopted an advance notice requirement in its by-laws for nominations of Directors by shareholders. Among other things, the advance notice requirement fixes a deadline by which shareholders must submit to the Company a notice of Director nominations prior to any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which Directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid. As of the date hereof, the Company has not received notice of any Director nominations in connection with the Meeting. As the date to receive notice for a Director nomination has passed, no Director nominations may be made other than those set out in this Proxy Statement.

Shareholders will vote for the election of each individual Director separately. The Company has adopted a majority voting policy for the election of Directors whereby, in an uncontested election, any nominee who receives a greater number of shares withheld from voting than shares voted in favor of that nominee's election is expected to tender their resignation to the Board, to take effect upon acceptance by the Board. The Board will, within 90 days of the Meeting, determine whether to accept any such offer to resign, and such resignation will be accepted other than in extraordinary circumstances.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which the Company's security holders may recommend nominees to the Board since the Company's last Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The following table provides the names of and information for the nominees for election as Directors of the Company (collectively the "Nominees," and each a "Nominee"). The persons named in the enclosed proxy card intend to vote "FOR" the election of each of the Nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of the Nominees will be unable to serve as a Director. All Directors so elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed unless their office is vacated earlier in accordance with the by-laws of the Company or the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) ("OBCA"). Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each nominee in the table set forth below is: care of Energy Fuels Inc., 225 Union Blvd., Suite 600, Lakewood, Colorado 80228 USA.

Director Participation on Other Boards

A number of the Company's Directors and proposed Nominees sit on boards of directors of other companies. The Company considers this to be a benefit to the Company, provided there are no significant conflicts of interest, and the Director and proposed Nominee can devote the time and attention to their duties on the Board and any Board committees on which the Director sits (i.e., is not 'overcommitted'). The Company believes sitting on boards of directors of other companies provides the Director and proposed Nominee with a broader spectrum of experience relating to industry-specific and corporate governance matters.

To ensure that all Directors are adequately fulfilling their obligations to the Company and are not adversely impacted by their commitments on other Boards, the Corporate Secretary administers a written Board effectiveness assessment each year, which the Governance and Nominating Committee ("GN Committee") reviews on a compiled, anonymized basis. The assessment questions members of the Board as to their level of satisfaction with the functioning of the Board, its interaction with management, and the performance of the standing committees of the Board. After the assessment results are reviewed and discussed, the GN Committee reports to the full Board on the results and makes any recommendations it feels advisable to improve the Company's corporate governance practices. This process occurs prior to the GN Committee's consideration of nominations for Board member elections at the annual meeting of shareholders each year. In 2024, the GN Committee concluded, and the full Board agreed, that none of the Directors were over-boarded such that they were unable to fulfill their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders.

None of the Company's Directors and proposed Nominees sit on more than five public company boards or, alternatively, are CEOs of public companies who also sit on the boards of more than two public companies besides their own.

Cease Trade Orders, Bankruptcies and Legal Proceedings

The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings against it involving the Nominees, executive officers or shareholders of more than 5% of the Company's voting shares. Except as set out below, to the knowledge of the Company, no Nominee is, or has been in the last 10 years: (a) a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of a company that (i) while that person was acting in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order (including a management cease trade order) or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemptions under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, or (ii) after that person ceased to act in that capacity, was the subject of a cease trade or similar order or an order that denied the issuer access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, which resulted from an event that occurred while that person acted in such capacity, or (b) a director or executive officer of a company that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or (c) became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or became subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold his or her assets.

On November 18, 2020, General Moly Inc. filed for voluntary protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado to pursue a financial and operational reorganization, in addition to other customary motions in conjunction therewith. At the time, Mr. Hansen was serving as its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director. In connection with the filing, General Moly Inc. executed a Restructuring Support Agreement and emerged out of bankruptcy with a final decree issued in September 2021. It thereafter merged with Avanti Kisualt Mining Limited, a Canadian company, to form the private company New Moly LLC. Effective upon the Chapter 11 filing, Mr. Hansen resigned as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and as a director of General Moly Inc. but was later elected as a director of New Moly LLC and currently serves in that capacity.

Board Diversity

The following disclosure is provided on an elective basis annually by the Directors as a part of their annual Proxy-related Director & Officer Questionnaires ("D&O Questionnaires"):

Board Diversity Matrix (as of April 17, 2025)

Notes:

(1) LGBTQIA stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning, intersex and asexual/aromantic/agender, and the + refers to other categories of sexual orientation or gender identity not explicitly mentioned (other than cisgender). While certain categories of LGBTQIA+ fall within gender identity, many do not and are therefore included more generally with the other diversity categories. In total, 0% (0/11) of the Company's existing and nominated Directors self-identify as non-binary, and 10% (1/11) of existing and nominated Directors self-identify as racially or ethnically diverse in accordance with the categories identified above.

The Company remains committed to diversity. In January 2025, the GN Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved and adopted, a number of diversity-based recommendations that include maintaining its measurable objectives of having a qualified Board that is at least 30% gender diverse (including a minimum of one woman) at all times with at least one qualified racially or ethnically diverse director on the Board at all times. The Board is proud of maintaining these commitments over multiple years through its selection of highly qualified individuals, all of whom were selected first and foremost for their ability to contribute meaningfully to the Company through unique skill sets that complement the existing Board expertise.

Notably, in October 2024, the Board size increased from ten directors to eleven directors when Mr. Stirzaker, former chair of the Base Resource board of directors, was appointed to the Board effective upon the closing of the Company's acquisition of all the fully paid ordinary shares of Base Resources. Mr. Stirzaker is a strong and qualified director and was highly desired for appointment by the Board, as he offers significant insights into the Base Resources business, including its personnel, operating history, strengths and challenges, as well as international finance expertise. However, his appointment did result in the ratio of gender-diverse Board members falling from 30% (3/10) to 27.27% (3/11). To make a fully informed decision relating to Board size, composition and diversity priorities, the Board has undertaken a formal, consultant-based gap analysis of the skills and expertise currently represented on the Board to determine whether (and how) to make any adjustments. This process is not expected to be completed by the Meeting and, as such, all eleven existing directors are recommended for re-election to the Board at this time.

Proposal 2 - Appointment of Auditors

Management of the Company has proposed the appointment of KPMG LLP of Denver, Colorado ("KPMG"), an independent registered public accounting firm, as the auditors of the Company to hold that position until the close of the next annual meeting of the Company or until a successor is appointed. It is proposed that the remuneration to be paid to the auditors be fixed by the Board through the Audit Committee.

The persons named in the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement intend to vote "FOR" the reappointment of KPMG as the auditors of the Company for the ensuing year or until their successors are appointed and to authorize the Directors of the Company to fix the remuneration of the auditors, unless the shareholder has specified in the proxy card that the Common Shares represented by such proxy are to be withheld from voting in respect thereof. The Company expects that a representative of KPMG will be present at the Meeting and will be available to answer questions.

Proposal 3 - Amendment of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan to Increase Share Authorization Limits

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, pass an ordinary resolution approving an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan (defined below) to (i) increase the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to participants under the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Total Share Authorization") from 10,000,000 Common Shares to 17,500,000 Common Shares, (ii) increase the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under all Full Value Awards (defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) (the "Full Value Share Authorization") from 7,500,000 Common Shares to 12,500,000 Common Shares, and (iii) remove the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of tax-qualified incentive stock options ("ISOs") (which limit is unnecessary, confusing and redundant given that ISOs are subject to the Total Share Authorization).

A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan is attached as Appendix "A" to this Proxy Statement.

Background and Reasons for Amendment

The Company originally adopted its 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2015 Equity Incentive Plan") on January 28, 2015, which was ratified by the Company's shareholders on June 16, 2015. Under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the Board may in its discretion grant, from time to time, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance shares, performance units, stock appreciation rights and other forms of equity to employees, Directors, officers and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. At a meeting of the Board held on March 29, 2018, the Board approved, and the Company's shareholders thereafter ratified on May 30, 2018, the adoption of an amended 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, restated as the 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan dated March 29, 2018 (the "2018 Equity Incentive Plan"). At a meeting of the Board held on March 18, 2021, the Board approved, and the Company's shareholders thereafter ratified on May 26, 2021, the adoption of an amended 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, restated as the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan dated March 18, 2021 (the "2021 Equity Incentive Plan"). At a meeting of the Board held on April 10, 2024, the Board approved, and the Company's shareholders thereafter ratified on June 11, 2024, the adoption of an amended 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, restated as the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan dated April 10, 2024, as further amended on May 24, 2024 (the "2024 Equity Incentive Plan"). Most recently, on April 21, 2025, the Board approved, subject to ratification by shareholders, the adoption of an amended version of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, dated April 21, 2025 (the "Equity Incentive Plan").

Capitalized terms used in this "Proposal 3 - Amendment of the Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan to Increase Share Authorization Limits" section but not otherwise defined in this Proxy Statement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Equity Incentive Plan.

When the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan was originally approved in 2024, the Compensation Committee anticipated that the number of authorized Common Shares would be sufficient to grant share-based compensation awards through 2027. This estimation accounted for various factors, including future stock prices, competitive market practices for award sizes, and considerations related to attracting and retaining employee talent.

For each award issued on and after shareholder approval of the Equity Incentive Plan, the number of Common Shares covered by such award or to which such award relates is counted on the date of grant of such award against the Total Share Authorization and Full Value Authorization limits. For greater clarity, any awards that are not settled in Common Shares do not reduce any of these reserves. Any Common Shares related to awards that (i) terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such Common Shares, (ii) are settled in cash either in lieu of Common Shares or otherwise, or (iii) are exchanged with the Compensation Committee's approval for awards not involving Common Shares, shall be available again for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or "dividend equivalents" that are reinvested into additional shares or credited as additional Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Stock-Based Awards ("SBAs"). The Common Shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued Common Shares or treasury shares.

Due to a number of factors that were not anticipated at the time of approval of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the current number of authorized Common Shares is not sufficient for the Company's anticipated requirements through 2027. These factors include the increase in the size of the Company's senior management team in connection with the Base Resources acquisition and the significant decrease in the Company's stock price as a result of recent market volatility and turmoil. Accordingly, the Company has a greater number of expected Award recipients under the Equity Incentive Plan and the number of Common Shares that are required to be issued in order to pay a similar amount in equity compensation has increased.

At current share prices, the Compensation Committee has determined that it will not have the capacity under the current share authorization limits to issue equity compensation through 2027 at rates in line with historical trends. In determining the additional number of Common Shares to authorize for issuance pursuant to this Proposal 3, the Compensation Committee considered, among other factors, the current and anticipated future price of the Company's stock, historical amounts of equity awards granted and potential future grants over the next several years.

The Board believes that the Equity Incentive Plan and overall stock-based compensation program is essential in attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified executive officers and other employees and non-employee directors to enhance the success of the Company. Ther Board believes that the proposed increase in the maximum number of Common Shares to be available under the Equity Incentive Plan is necessary for the Company to continue to experience these benefits. Further, unless this Proposal 3 is adopted, the Company will need to curtail grants of stock incentive awards to executive officers, other employees and non-employee directors, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage in recruiting and retaining talent and also make it more difficult for the Company to align employee interests with those of its shareholders.

In order to ensure that the Company will have a sufficient reserve of Common Shares to continue incentivizing, attracting, and retaining talent in a highly competitive market and industry, and to align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders, the following amendments were made to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan and are incorporated into the Equity Incentive Plan:

(i) Section 4.1 was amended to (i) increase the Total Share Authorization limit from 10,000,000 Common Shares to 17,500,000 Common Shares, and (ii) increase the Full Value Share Authorization limit from 7,500,000 Common Shares to 12,500,000 Common Shares,

(ii) Section 6.1 was amended to remove the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of ISOs (which remain subject to the Total Share Authorization); and

(iii) Certain other ancillary amendments were made to Section 1.1 to include the date the Board approved the Equity Incentive Plan subject to ratification by shareholders.

Summary of Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Equity Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix "A" to this Proxy Statement.

Employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates, and Non-Employee Directors of the Company, are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan (the "Eligible Participants" and, following the grant of an award (an "Award") pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, the "Participants"). The Board or a committee authorized by the Board (the "Committee") will be responsible for administering the Equity Incentive Plan. As of April 17, 2025, approximately 108 employees, 10 independent Directors, and 6 consultants qualify as Eligible Participants, for a total of approximately 124 Eligible Participants.

The Equity Incentive Plan permits the Committee to grant Awards for NQSOs, ISOs (together with NQSOs, "Options"), SARs (also referred to as "Stock Appreciation Rights"), restricted stock ("Restricted Stock"), DSUs,restricted stock units ("Restricted Stock Units" or "RSUs"), performance shares ("Performance Shares"), performance units ("Performance Units") and stock-based awards ("SBAs") to Eligible Participants.

Common Shares Issuable Pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 of the Equity Incentive Plan, the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to Participants under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not exceed the Total Share Authorization limit of 17,500,000 Common Shares. In addition to being subject to the Total Share Authorization limit, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under all Full Value Awards shall not exceed Full Value Share Authorization limit of 12,500,000 Common Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Awards that are not settled in Common Shares do not reduce the Total Share Authorization or Full Value Share Authorization. Any Common Shares related to Awards (or, after the date the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders, awards granted under the Company's Stock Option Plan) which (i) terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such Common Shares, (ii) are settled in cash either in lieu of Common Shares or otherwise, or (iii) are exchanged with the Committee's approval for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available again for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. The maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan is reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional Common Shares or credited as additional Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Stock-Based Awards. Subject to applicable law, the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") or the NYSE American (the "NYSE American" or "NYSE.A") and any shareholder or other approval which may be required, the Board may in its discretion amend the Equity Incentive Plan to increase such limit without notice to any Participants.

The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to insiders of the Company pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, together with all other share compensation arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares. Within any one-year period, the number of Common Shares issued to insiders pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan and all other share compensation arrangements of the Company will not exceed an aggregate of 10% of the outstanding Common Shares.

Vesting Requirements

Vesting requirements for each Award shall be determined at the discretion of the Committee, provided that:

i. Annual or regularly scheduled grants of Awards to Participants that are Employees or Directors shall generally have a minimum vesting period of at least one year;

ii. Initial grants of Awards to Employees or Directors who commence employment or appointment to the Board between annual or regularly scheduled grants of Awards may, at the discretion of the Committee, have a vesting period of less than one year in order to tie to the vesting schedule applicable to the most recent annual or regularly scheduled grants of Awards to other Employees and Directors; and

iii. Any special or extraordinary Awards to Participants shall have vesting schedules as determined by the Committee to be appropriate for the special or extraordinary circumstances of the Awards.

Types of Awards

Options. The Committee may grant Options to any Eligible Participant at any time, in such number and on such terms as will be determined by the Committee in its discretion. ISOs may be granted only to employees of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company within the meaning of Section 424 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The exercise price for any Option granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan will be determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement, provided however, that the price will not be less than the fair market value (the "FMV") of the Common Shares on the day of grant (which cannot be less than the greater of (a) the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX or the NYSE for the five trading days immediately prior to the grant date; or (b) the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX or the NYSE on the trading day immediately prior to the grant date), provided further, that the exercise price for an ISO granted to a holder of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any of its Affiliates (a "Significant Stockholder")shall not be less than 110% of the FMV.

Options will vest and become exercisable at such times and on the occurrence of such events, and be subject to such restrictions and conditions, as the Committee in each instance approves, subject to the vesting requirements described above.

Options will expire at such time as the Committee determines at the time of grant; provided, however that no Option will be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant and, provided further, that no ISO granted to a Significant Stockholder shall be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the expiry date of any NQSO would occur in a blackout period or within five days of the end of a blackout period, the expiry date will be automatically extended to the tenth business day following the last day of a blackout period; provided that, with respect to a Participant subject to taxation under the Code, the expiry date will not be extended if such extension would violate Section 409A of the Code.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right or an SAR entitles the holder to receive the difference between the FMV of a Common Share on the date of exercise and the grant price. The Committee may grant SARs to any Eligible Participant at any time and on such terms as will be determined by the Committee and may grant SARs in tandem with Options or as standalone SARs. The grant price of an SAR will be determined by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement. The grant price will not be less than the FMV of the Common Shares on the day of grant. The grant price of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option will be equal to the exercise price of the related Option. SARs will vest and become exercisable upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its discretion, imposes, subject to the vesting requirements described above. Additionally, tandem SARs will only be exercisable upon the surrender of the right to receive Common Shares under the related Options. SARs will expire at such time as the Committee determines and, except as determined otherwise by the Committee and specified in the Award Agreement, no SAR will be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary date of its grant, except where the expiry date of any SAR would occur in a blackout period or within five days of the end of a blackout period, in which case the expiry date will be automatically extended to the tenth business day following the last day of a blackout period; provided that, with respect to a Participant subject to taxation under the Code, the expiry date will not be extended if such extension would violate Section 409A of the Code.

Upon the exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount representing the difference between the FMV of the underlying Common Shares on the date of exercise and the grant price. At the discretion of the Committee, the payment may be in cash, Common Shares or some combination thereof.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock are awards of Common Shares that are subject to forfeiture based on the passage of time, the achievement of performance criteria, and/or upon the occurrence of other events, over a period of time, as determined by the Committee. Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs, are similar to Restricted Stock but provide a right to receive Common Shares or cash or a combination of the two, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, upon settlement. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock and/or RSUs to any Eligible Participant at any time and on such terms as the Committee determines. The specific terms, including the number of Restricted Stock or RSUs awarded, the restriction period, the settlement date and any other restrictions or conditions that the Committee determines to impose on any Restricted Stock or RSU shall be set out in an Award Agreement. The vesting requirements described above shall apply.

To the extent required by law, holders of Restricted Stock shall have voting rights during the restricted period, however, holders of RSUs shall have no voting rights until and unless Common Shares are issued on the settlement of such RSUs.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as set out in any Award Agreement, no RSU will vest later than three years after the date of grant.

Deferred Share Units. DSUs are awards denominated in units that provide the holder with a right to receive Common Shares or cash or a combination of the two upon settlement. The Committee may grant DSUs to any Non-Employee Director at any time, in such number and on such terms as will be determined by the Committee in its discretion and as will be set out in the applicable Award Agreement, subject to the vesting requirements described above.

Performance Shares and Performance Share Units. Performance Shares are awards, denominated in Common Shares, the value of which at the time they are payable is determined as a function of the extent to which corresponding performance criteria have been achieved. Performance Units are equivalent to Performance Shares but are denominated in units. The Committee may grant Performance Shares and/or Performance Units to any Eligible Participant at any time, in such number and on such terms as may be determined by the Committee in its discretion, subject to the vesting requirements described above. Each Performance Share and Performance Unit will have an initial value equal to the FMV of a Common Share on the date of grant. The Committee will set performance criteria for a Performance Share or Performance Unit in its discretion and the period of time during which the performance criteria must be met. The extent to which the performance criteria are met will determine the ultimate value and/or number of Performance Shares or Performance Units that will be paid to the Participant.

The Committee may pay earned Performance Shares or Performance Units in the form of cash or Common Shares equal to the value of the Performance Share or Performance Unit at the end of the performance period. The Committee may determine that holders of Performance Shares or Performance Units be credited with consideration equivalent to dividends declared by the Board and paid on outstanding Common Shares.

Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may, to the extent permitted by the TSX, grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan in such amounts and subject to terms and conditions as the Committee determines. Such Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual Common Shares to Participants or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Common Shares.

Assignability

Other than Restricted Stock and RSUs, Awards will be non-transferable and non-assignable except as provided in an Award Agreement, by will or by the law of descent and distribution. Such Awards will be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant. Restricted Stock and RSUs will be non-transferable and non-assignable until the end of the applicable period of restriction specified in the Award Agreement (and in the case of RSUs, until the date of settlement through delivery or other payment), or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by the Committee.

Dividends and Other Distributions

During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Restricted Stock may, if determined by the Committee, be credited with dividends paid with respect to the underlying Common Shares or Dividend Equivalents while they are so held in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. RSUs held by a Participant having surpassed the Period of Restriction may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividends paid with respect to the underlying Common Shares or Dividend Equivalents while they are so held in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. However, the payment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents is strictly prohibited with respect to RSUs still subject to a Period of Restriction. Dividend Equivalents cannot apply to an Award unless specifically provided for in the Award Agreement, and the Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends or Dividend Equivalents that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents, including cash, Common Shares, Restricted Stock or RSUs.

In addition, the Committee will determine whether Participants holding Performance Shares will receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to dividends declared with respect to the Common Shares. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents may be subject to accrual, forfeiture or payout restrictions as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. However, the payment of dividends or Dividend Equivalents to a Participant is prohibited in respect to any Performance Shares for which the requisite performance criteria have not been achieved.

Cessation of Awards

Death. If a Participant dies while an employee, officer or Director of, or consultant to, the Company or an Affiliate: (i) any Options held by the Participant that are exercisable at the date of death continue to be exercisable by the executor or administrator of the Participant's estate until the earlier of twelve months after the date of death and the date on which the exercise period of the particular Option expires and any Options that are not exercisable at the date of death shall immediately expire; (ii) any RSUs held that have vested as at the date of death will be paid to the Participant's estate, and any RSUs that have not vested as at the date of death will be immediately cancelled, unless the Committee or Board determines in its discretion in the Award Agreement or subsequently to accelerate or otherwise amend the general vesting provisions of any Award previously granted to a Participant; and (iii) the treatment for all other types of Awards shall be as set out in the applicable Award Agreement. For example, any Awards that have vested as of the termination date will be paid to the Participant, while any unvested Awards will be cancelled.

Termination other than Death. Upon termination of the Participant's employment or term of office or engagement with the Company for any reason other than death: (i) any of the Options held by the Participant that are exercisable on the termination date continue to be exercisable until the earlier of three months (six months in the case of a voluntary retirement) after the termination date and the date on which the exercise period of the Option expires, and any Options that have not vested at the termination date shall immediately expire; (ii) any RSUs held by a Participant that have vested at the termination date will be paid to the Participant and any RSUs that have not vested at the termination date will be immediately cancelled, unless the Committee or Board determines in its discretion in the Award Agreement or subsequently to accelerate or otherwise amend the general vesting provisions of any Award previously granted to a Participant in cases involving disability or retirement; and (iii) the treatment for all other types of Awards shall be as set out in the applicable Award Agreement. . For example, any Awards that have vested as of the termination date will be paid to the Participant, while any unvested Awards will be cancelled.

Corporate Reorganization and Change of Control

Corporate Reorganization. In the event of any merger, arrangement, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, separation, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, combination of securities, exchange of securities, dividend in kind, or other like change in capital structure or distribution to stockholders of the Company, or any similar corporate event or transaction (a "Corporate Reorganization"), the Committee will make or provide for such adjustments or substitutions as are equitably necessary in: (i) the number and kind of securities that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan, (ii) the number and kind of securities subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the price applicable to outstanding Awards, provided changes to the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to outstanding SARs, which are deemed appropriate or necessary by the Committee in the event of a Corporate Reorganization but which constitute more than a mere adjustment or substitution for equivalent value, shall require the prior approval of the Company's shareholders (iv) the award limits, (v) the limit on issuing Awards except as provided for in the Equity Incentive Plan, and (vi) any other value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards or to the Equity Incentive Plan.

In connection with a Corporate Reorganization, the Committee will have the discretion to permit a holder of Options to purchase, and the holder shall be required to accept, on the exercise of such Option, in lieu of the Common Shares, securities or other property that the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Corporate Reorganization if that holder had owned all Common Shares that were subject to the Option.

Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), subject to applicable laws and rules and regulations of a national exchange or market on which Common Shares are listed or as otherwise provided in any Award Agreement, and subject to the provisions described in the next paragraph below (a) all Options and SARs shall be accelerated to become immediately exercisable; (b) all restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock and RSUs shall lapse and RSUs shall be immediately settled and payable; (c) target payout opportunities attainable under all outstanding Awards of performance based Restricted Stock, performance-based RSUs, Performance Units and Performance Shares shall be deemed to have been fully earned; (d) unless otherwise specifically provided in a written agreement entered into between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, the Committee shall immediately cause all other Stock-Based Awards to vest and be paid out as determined by the Committee; and (e) the Committee will have discretion to cancel all outstanding Awards, and the value of such Awards will be paid in cash based on the change of control price.

Notwithstanding the above, no acceleration of vesting, cancellation, lapsing of restrictions, payment of an Award, cash settlement or other payment will occur with respect to an Award if the Committee determines, in good faith, that the Award will be honoured, assumed or substituted by a successor corporation, provided that such honoured, assumed or substituted Award must: (a) be based on stock which is traded on the TSX and/or an established securities market in the United States; (b) provide such Participant with rights and entitlements substantially equivalent to or better than the rights, terms and conditions applicable under such Award; (c) recognize, for the purpose of vesting provisions, the time that the Award has been held prior to the Change of Control; (d) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award; and (e) have terms and conditions which provide that in the event a Participant's employment with the Company, and Affiliate or a successor corporation is involuntarily terminated or constructively terminated at any time within twelve months of the Change of Control, any conditions on a Participant's rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to such alternative Award shall be waived or shall lapse, as the case may be.

Amending the Equity Incentive Plan

Except as set out below, and as otherwise provided by law or stock exchange rules, the Equity Incentive Plan may be amended, altered modified, suspended or terminated by the Committee at any time, without notice or approval from shareholders, including but not limited to for the purposes of:

(a) making any acceleration of or other amendments to the general vesting provisions of any Award previously granted to a Participant in cases involving death, disability or retirement;

(b) waiving any termination of, extending the expiry date of, or making any other amendments to the general term of any Award or exercise period thereunder provided that no Award held by an insider may be extended beyond its original expiry date;

(d) making any amendments not inconsistent with the Equity Incentive Plan as may be necessary or desirable with respect to matters or questions which, in the good faith opinion of the Board, it may be expedient to make, including amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law or as a "housekeeping" matter; or

(e) making such changes or corrections which are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error.

Amendments requiring the prior approval of the Company's shareholders are: (i) any changes to the Option Price or Grant Price of previously granted SARs, as applicable, including without limitation a reduction in the price of a previously granted Option or SAR benefitting a Participant, whether or not the Participant is an Insider of the Company, except for adjustments made in the event of a Corporate Reorganization constituting a mere adjustment or substitution for equivalent value; (ii) an increase in the total number of Common Shares available under the Equity Incentive Plan or the total number of Common Shares available for ISOs; (iii) an increase to the limit on the number of Common Shares issued or issuable to insiders; (iv) an extension of the expiry date of an Option or SAR other than in relation to a blackout period; (v) any acceleration of or other amendments to the general vesting provisions of any Award previously granted to a Participant in cases other than those involving death, disability or retirement; and (vi) any amendment to the amendment provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to awards to U.S. Participants (as defined below) made under the Equity Incentive Plan.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences that may apply to a U.S. Participant with respect to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, certain Participants in the Equity Incentive Plan who are not U.S. Participants may be subject to U.S. federal income tax, depending on specific facts and circumstances, and this summary does not address U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to those individuals. Further, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Participant that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. This summary does not address the U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Participants. Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable income tax reporting requirements. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Participant. Each U.S. Participant should consult his or her own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of participation in the Equity Incentive Plan.

No legal opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Participant arising from and relating to awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary.

Each U.S. Participant should seek U.S. federal tax advice, based on such U.S. Participant's particular circumstances, from its own tax advisor.

Scope of This Disclosure

Authorities

This summary is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations, published IRS rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the "Canada-U.S. Tax Convention"), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive basis. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis.

U.S. Participants

For purposes of this summary of U.S. federal income tax consequences, a "U.S. Participant" is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes who receives awards under the Equity Incentive Plan and who is either a citizen of the U.S. or a resident alien of the U.S. for purposes of the Code and the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention.

Certain Special Rules

The foreign earned income exclusion provisions and the foreign tax credit provisions of the Code may, under certain circumstances, reduce the U.S. federal income tax liability of a U.S. Participant with respect to participation in the Equity Incentive Plan. U.S. Participants should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel, or accountant regarding the foreign earned income exclusion provisions and the foreign tax credit provisions of the Code.

Paragraphs (1) to (8) below are subject to the discussion set forth in Paragraph (9) below, including, without limitation, the PFIC (as defined below) rules.

(1) Grant of Stock Options

The grant of stock options is not expected to result in any taxable income for the recipient, and the Company will not be entitled to an income tax deduction in connection with a grant of stock options under the Equity Incentive Plan.

(2) Exercise of Stock Options, SARs and Disposition of Common Shares

Upon exercising a SAR or a non-qualified stock option, the optionee must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Shares acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and the Company generally will be entitled, at that time, to an income tax deduction for the same amount, subject to the limitations on deductibility for compensation paid to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code. Any gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the Common Shares generally will be a capital gain or loss.

The holder of an incentive stock option generally will have no taxable income upon exercising the stock option (except that an alternative minimum tax liability may arise), and the Company will not be entitled to an income tax deduction. The gain or loss recognized by the optionee on a later sale or other disposition of such Common Shares will either be long-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income, depending upon whether the optionee holds the Common Shares until the later of the date that is two years following the date of grant and the date that is one year following the date of exercise. If the Common Shares are not held for the period described in the foregoing sentence, the optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the lesser of (i) the difference between the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price, or (ii) the difference between the sale price and the exercise price, and the optionee will recognize long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (depending on whether the shares were held for more than 12 months or for 12 months or less) in an amount equal to the difference between the sale price of the Common Shares and the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of exercise. However, if the Common Shares are held for the period described above, the optionee will generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the sale price and the exercise price. Generally, there will be no tax consequences to the Company in connection with the disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to an incentive stock option, except that the Company may be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to a disposition of Common Shares acquired pursuant to an incentive stock option before the applicable incentive stock option holding periods set forth in the Code (as described above) have been satisfied, subject to the limitations on deductibility for compensation paid to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(3) Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and DSUs

Unless a special election is made by the holder of a restricted stock award under Section 83(b) of the Code, the holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of the restricted stock received (determined as of the first time the restricted stock becomes transferable or not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier) over (2) the amount (if any) paid for the restricted stock by the holder of the award. The holder of a restricted stock unit or deferred share unit award shall be taxable on the fair market value of any Common Shares delivered and cash paid at the time such property is issued to the holder. The Company will generally be entitled to an income tax deduction at the time the holder recognizes taxable income, subject to the limitations on deductibility for compensation paid to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(4) Performance Awards

A recipient of a performance award will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant, and the Company will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the performance award grant at that time. Upon settlement of a performance award, the recipient thereof will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of any Common Shares delivered and the amount of cash paid, and the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction in that amount at that time, subject to the limitations on deductibility for compensation paid to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(5) Stock Awards

With respect to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan that are payable in Common Shares that are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the holder thereof must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Shares received (determined as of the date the Common Shares are received) over the amount (if any) paid for the Common Shares by the holder of the award. The Company generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount, subject to the limitations on deductibility for compensation paid to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(6) Dividend Equivalents

Recipients of dividend equivalents with respect to their awards under the Equity Incentive Plan will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant and will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the dividend equivalent award at that time. When a dividend equivalent is paid, the recipient thereof will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of any Common Shares delivered and the amount of cash paid by us, and the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction in that amount at that time, subject to the limitations on deductibility for compensation paid to covered employees under Section 162(m) of the Code.

(7) Special Rules for Executive Officers and Directors Subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act

Special rules may apply to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In particular, unless a special election is made pursuant to the Code, Common Shares received through the exercise of a stock option may be treated as restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for a period of up to six months after the date of exercise. Accordingly, the amount of ordinary income recognized, and the amount of our income tax deduction will be determined as of the end of that period.

(8) Section 409A of the Code

Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan are intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder, and the Committee will administer and interpret the Equity Incentive Plan and all award agreements in a manner consistent with that intent. The tax consequences described above are based on the assumption that Awards either are exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no guaranty that Awards will comply with Section 409A of the Code (to the extent it is applicable). If it is determined that Awards are subject to Section 409A of the Code and do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, different tax consequences and penalties may result. If any provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan or any award agreement would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may amend that provision or take any other actions reasonably necessary to avoid any adverse tax consequences, and no action taken to comply with Section 409A of the Code will be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an award under the Equity Incentive Plan or any beneficiary thereof.

(9) Ownership and Disposition of Common Shares

The following discussion is subject in its entirety to the rules described below under the heading "Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules."

(a) Taxation of Distributions

A U.S. Participant that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Common Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the Company's current or accumulated "earnings and profits", as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Participant at ordinary income tax rates if the Company is a PFIC (as defined below) for the tax year of such distribution or was a PFIC for the preceding tax year. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the Company's current and accumulated "earnings and profits", such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Participant's tax basis in the Common Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Common Shares. (See "Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares" below). However, the Company does not intend to maintain the calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Participant therefore should assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the Common Shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on Common Shares by corporate U.S. Participants generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received deduction". Subject to applicable limitations and provided the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention or the Common Shares are readily tradable on a United States securities market, dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Participants, including individuals, in respect of Common Shares generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that the Company not be classified as a PFIC in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Participant should consult its own tax advisors regarding the application of such rules.

(b) Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares, a U.S. Participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of cash received plus the fair market value of any property received and such U.S. Participant's tax basis in such Common Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. A U.S. Participant's tax basis in Common Shares generally will be such U.S. Participant's U.S. dollar cost for such Common Shares. Gain or loss recognized on such sale or other disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Common Shares have been held for more than one year.

Preferential tax rates currently apply to long-term capital gain of a U.S. Participant that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain of a U.S. Participant that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

If the Company were to constitute a "passive foreign investment company" within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a "PFIC") for any year during a U.S. Participant's holding period, then certain potentially adverse rules would affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Participant resulting from the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Common Shares. The Company believes that it was not a PFIC for its most recently completed tax year. The Company has not made any determination as to its PFIC status for its current and future tax years.No opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the status of the Company as a PFIC has been obtained or is currently planned to be requested. PFIC classification is fundamentally factual in nature, generally cannot be determined until the close of the tax year in question and is determined annually. Additionally, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Company has never been and will not become a PFIC for any tax year during which U.S. Participants hold Common Shares.

In any year in which the Company is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Participant will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax. U.S. Participants should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621.

The Company generally will be a PFIC if, after the application of certain "look-through" rules with respect to subsidiaries in which the Company holds at least 25% of the value of such subsidiary for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such tax year is passive income (the "income test"), or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Company's assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the "asset test"), based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets. "Gross income" generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and "passive income" generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions; however, certain active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income.

If the Company was a PFIC in any tax year during which a U.S. Participant held Common Shares, such holder generally would be subject to special rules with respect to "excess distributions" made by the Company on the Common Shares and with respect to gain from the disposition of Common Shares. An "excess distribution" generally is defined as the excess of distributions with respect to the Common Shares received by a U.S. Participant in any tax year over 125% of the average annual distributions such U.S. Participant has received from the Company during the shorter of the three preceding tax years, or such U.S. Participant's holding period for the Common Shares.

Generally, a U.S. Participant would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the Common Shares pro rata over its holding period for the Common Shares. Such amounts allocated to the year of the disposition or excess distribution and any year prior to the first year in which the Company was a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or excess distribution, and amounts allocated to each other tax year would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year for the applicable class of taxpayer and an interest charge at a rate applicable to underpayments of tax would apply.

While there are U.S. federal income tax elections that sometimes can be made to mitigate these adverse tax consequences (including the "QEF Election" under Section 1295 of the Code and the "Mark-to-Market Election" under Section 1296 of the Code), such elections are available in limited circumstances and must be made in a timely manner. Under proposed Treasury Regulations, if a U.S. Participant holds an option or other right to acquire stock of a PFIC, such option or right is considered to be PFIC stock subject to the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code that apply to "excess distributions" and dispositions described above. However, under the proposed Treasury Regulations, for the purposes of the PFIC rules, the holding period for any Common Shares acquired upon the exercise of an option or other right will begin on the date a U.S. Participant acquires the option or other right (and not the subsequent date of exercise). This will impact the availability, and consequences, of the QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Common Shares acquired upon exercise of an option or other right.

U.S. Participants should be aware that, for each tax year, if any, that the Company is a PFIC, the Company can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record keeping requirements or make available to U.S. Participants the information such U.S. Participants require to make a QEF Election with respect to the Company or any subsidiary that also is classified as a PFIC.

Certain additional adverse rules may apply with respect to a U.S. Participant if the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether the U.S. Participant makes a QEF Election. These rules include special rules that apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Participant may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. Subject to these special rules, foreign taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. U.S. Participants should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ownership and disposition of Common Shares, and the availability of certain U.S. tax elections under the PFIC rules.

(d) Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Participant in foreign currency, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Common Shares generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt or, if applicable, the date of settlement if the Common Shares are traded on an established securities market (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Participant will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Participant who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Participants who use the accrual method of tax accounting. Each U.S. Participant should consult its own U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

(e) Foreign Tax Credit

Dividends paid on the Common Shares will be treated as foreign-source income, and generally will be treated as "passive category income" or "general category income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or other disposition of Common Shares generally will be United States source gain or loss. Certain U.S. Participants that are eligible for the benefits of Canada-U.S. Tax Convention may elect to treat such gain or loss as Canadian source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. The Code applies various complex limitations on the amount of foreign taxes that may be claimed as a credit by U.S. taxpayers. In addition, Treasury Regulations that apply to foreign taxes paid or accrued (the "Foreign Tax Credit Regulations") impose additional requirements for Canadian withholding taxes to be eligible for a foreign tax credit, and there can be no assurance that those requirements will be satisfied. The Treasury Department has recently released guidance temporarily pausing the application of certain of the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations.

Subject to the PFIC rules and the Foreign Tax Credit Regulations, each as discussed above, a U.S. Participant that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Common Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Participant, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Participant's U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Participant's income that is subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Participant during a year. The foreign tax credit rules are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on a U.S. Participant's particular circumstances. Accordingly, each U.S. Participant should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

(f) Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Participants must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Participants that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a non-U.S. entity. U.S. Participants may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Common Shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Participants should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.

Payments made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Shares will generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax if a U.S. Participant (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Participant's correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Participant has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Participant has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Participant that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Participant's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Participant furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute a complete description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Participant. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Participant should consult its own tax advisors regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Annual Burn Rate for the Three Most Recently Completed Fiscal Years

The Annual Burn Rate (defined as the number of securities granted under the Equity Incentive Plan during the applicable fiscal year divided by the weighted average number of securities outstanding for that year) for the three most recently completed fiscal years for this arrangement, calculated in accordance with Section 613(p) of the TSX Company Manual, is as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2024: 1.0%

For the year ended December 31, 2023: 0.6%

For the year ended December 31, 2022: 0.9%

Such burn rates were calculated using the values provided in the chart below; no multiplier was included:

	2024	2023	2022
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding	171,964,321	159,107,039	157,343,250

Options Granted	772,189	153,299	118,318

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Incentive Plans

For a breakdown of the securities authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company's equity compensation plans approved by security holders (including any individual compensation arrangements) as of December 31, 2024, see page 95, below. There are no compensation plans under which equity securities of the Company are authorized for issuance that were adopted without the approval of the Company's shareholders.

New Plan Benefits Table

The amount, if any, of awards to be awarded to employees, non-employee Directors and consultants is determined by the Committee and is not presently determinable. Therefore, a New Plan Benefits Table is not provided. Information regarding awards to the named executive officers (the "NEOs") in 2024 pursuant to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is provided in the section titled "Executive Compensation - Incentive Plan Awards," and information regarding awards to Directors in 2024 pursuant to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan is provided in the section titled "Director Compensation."

Shareholder Approval

At the Meeting, the Company's Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve, with or without amendment, the following resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of Energy Fuels Inc. (the
"Company"), that:

1. the Energy Fuels Inc. 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan dated April 21, 2025 (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), with the amendments made to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan described above incorporated into the Equity Incentive Plan, is hereby ratified and approved; and

2. any officer or Director of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such acts and things as he or she may determine to be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the foregoing provisions of this resolution, the execution of any such document or the doing of any such acts and things being conclusive evidence of such determination."

To be effective, the above resolution must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast thereon by the Company's shareholders present in person or by proxy at the virtual Meeting. For purposes of the aforementioned approval, "present" shall refer to a shareholder's virtual presence, or the shareholder's proxy represented in accordance with all applicable voting instructions, at the live-cast Meeting on the Lumi/Equiniti Virtual Platform.

The Board recommends the Company's shareholders approve the above resolution. The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote in favor of the resolution unless a shareholder has specified in the shareholder's proxy that the shareholder's shares are to be voted against such resolution.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Governance

The Company's Compensation Committee is made up of four Directors - Barbara A. Filas, Dennis L. Higgs, Robert W. Kirkwood (Chair) and Alexander G. Morrison, each of whom is independent pursuant to Section 805(c) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide (the "NYSE.A Guide") and pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. Compensation Committee members Ms. Filas and Messrs. Higgs and Morrison were appointed to the Committee on June 11, 2024. The members of the Compensation Committee have direct educational and work experience relevant to their responsibilities in executive compensation. The Board has delegated to the Compensation Committee the task of reviewing the Company's existing compensation policies on a periodic basis to ensure they remain current, competitive and consistent with the Company's overall goals and of recommending to the Board any new compensation policies that the Committee deems prudent and necessary.

The Compensation Committee also has the authority and responsibility to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, evaluating the CEO's performance in light of those corporate goals and objectives, and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the CEO's compensation level (including salary, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) based on this evaluation, as well as making recommendations to the Board with respect to any employment, severance or change of control agreements for the CEO. The ultimate decision relating to the CEO's compensation rests with the Board, taking into consideration the Compensation Committee's recommendations, corporate and individual performance, and industry standards.

In addition, the Compensation Committee has been delegated the task of reviewing and approving for executive officers, other than the CEO, all compensation (including salary, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans) and any employment, severance or change of control agreements, although the ultimate decision relating to any RSU, stock option, SAR or other equity grants rests with the Board. The experience of Board and committee members who are also involved as management of, or board members or advisors to, other companies, also factors into decisions concerning compensation.

Our Executive Compensation Practices

The Company follows a number of executive compensation "best practices," including:

- ambitious performance targets under its Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP") and Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), which are tied to the Company's annual budgets and strategic plans (each, a "Strategic Plan") and incentivize efforts in the best interests of the Company's shareholders;

- annual assessment and reapproval of the STIP and LTIP, as amended from time to time, by the Compensation Committee and the Board;

- emphasis on performance-based compensation through SARs (based on sustained share price performance at set price points), Performance-Based Options (having a strike price at a 10% premium to the fair market value of the grant date price per Common Share, see "Annual Performance-Based Stock Options at a 10% Premium," below) and RSUs (the quantity granted based on the achievement of key performance indicators set out in the LTIP);

- multi-year vesting periods for equity awards, with generally a minimum one-year holding period;

- explicit prohibitions on insider trading, tipping and trading during blackout periods for all Company personnel;

- explicit prohibitions, applicable to all Company insiders, on short-term trading, short sales, transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities, hedging transactions, pledges of Company securities as collateral for a loan, and purchasing on margin or holding in a margin account any securities of the Company;

- mandatory claw-backs of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation in the event of an accounting restatement, and discretionary recovery by the Board of all incentive-based compensation received with a finding of gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud; and

- "double-trigger" change-in-control provisions in executive employment agreements.

2024 Compensation Peer Group

In January 2024, for purposes of determining base salaries for 2024 and cash bonus and equity award opportunities for 2024 (which, to the extent earned, were paid out/granted in January 2025), the Company continued its engagement of compensation consulting company Zayla Partners, LLC ("Zayla"), an independent executive compensation consulting firm, to help it reevaluate the Company's peer group to be used in making the Company's January 2024 base salary and cash bonus and equity award opportunities for 2024 (which to the extent earned, were paid out/granted in January 2025). The following primary criteria were used in the identification and selection of companies for inclusion in the 2024 Compensation Peer Group:

(1) Potential companies were identified from the Company's 8-digit Global Industrial Classification Standard ("GICS") 10102050 Coal and Consumable Fuels and from other related industries (including Diversified Metals and Mining, Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, Silver and Specialty Chemicals) where appropriate;

(2) Market capitalization and enterprise value were used as the primary classifiers, in each case evaluated using both a trailing 12-month ("TTM") average and a 60-day trailing average as of November 27, 2023 with any foreign currencies converted to U.S. Dollars per S&P Capital IQ for comparative purposes, and the peer group having a median market capitalization (TTM) as close to the Company's market capitalization (TTM) as practical; and

(3) The number of companies to be included in the 2024 Compensation Peer Group were to be in a range from 14 to 24.

In addition to the foregoing primary selection criteria, the following additional screening criteria were applied:

(4) Focus on maintaining consistency in the Company's peer group over time, to the extent appropriate, making adjustments only when necessary to maintain balance in the other criteria or account for unusual circumstances or recent changes to the Company's own market capitalization;

(5) Eliminate or otherwise adjust for companies that have a disproportionately high enterprise value;

(6) Eliminate companies that may be in unusual circumstances, such as filing for bankruptcy or privatizing;

(7) Eliminate companies that have compensation awards based on extraordinary circumstances, such as a recent merger, etc.; and

(8) Favor hard-rock and other mining companies over oil and gas and coal companies, to the extent possible.

In choosing the 2024 Compensation Peer Group, as defined below, Zayla presented the Compensation Committee with a comparison of the performance of a broad pool of potential peers in relation to the Company according to commodity, primary industry, market capitalization and enterprise value using TTM and 60-day trailing averages, revenue, country headquarters, TSR performance over one and three years, as well as a discussion on outliers. The Compensation Committee members reviewed the data as presented by Zayla and additionally reviewed the list of potential peers using their own expertise and criteria developed through their experiences in tracking mining industry trends and companies in other metals and uranium, vanadium and REE mining and processing. This resulted in the adoption of the following 2024 Compensation Peer Group comprised of the Company and 16 other companies, which represents an average market capitalization (TTM) of approximately $1.193 billion and an average market capitalization (60-day average) of $1.277 billion, with the companies therein having market capitalizations falling within a range of 28% to 267% of the Company's own market capitalization, and the Company's own market capitalization (TTM) ranking ninth out of 17 total companies, having been deemed by the Compensation Committee to be the most representative group of the Company's peers for use in making its determinations and recommendations to the Board for 2024 executive compensation.
