Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ur-Energy Inc. (the “Company”) previously approved a reduced award of short-term incentive bonuses for 2020 (the “2020 STIPs”) for the named executive officers of the Company: Mr. Jeffrey T. Klenda, Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Roger L. Smith, Chief Financial Officer; and Ms. Penne A. Goplerud, Corporate Secretary (together, the “Named Executive Officers”). The earlier award, though premised on the assessment that the Company and the Named Executives had fully met performance standards in 2020, was reduced by 50% due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with leave for the Board in the future to consider further payout of the 2020 STIPs.

On July 9, 2021, the Board of the Company, in light of the current status of the pandemic and broader economic conditions, and upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved an award of the balance of the 2020 STIPs to the Named Executive Officers. The total compensation for the Named Executive Officers for 2020, as updated, is set forth here:

Name and principal position	Year	Salary ($)		Bonus($)		Stock awards($)		Option awards ($)		Non-equity incentive plan compensation($)	Change in pension value and nonqualified deferred compensation ($)	All other Compensation ($)		Total ($)
