DebtConvertible Senior Notes
On August 19, 2025, the Company issued $115,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes. The Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.5%, annually, payable semiannually in arrears, and matures on August 15, 2030.
The net proceeds from the offering of the Convertible Notes were approximately $109,657, after deducting the debt issuance costs. The Company used $11,549 of the net proceeds from the Convertible Senior Notes offering to pay the costs of entering into the Capped Call Transactions in connection with the Convertible Senior Notes and approximately $10,573 of the net proceeds from the Convertible Senior Notes offering to repay amounts outstanding under its Uranium Loan Agreement (as defined below). See Note Payable - Related Party below for additional information.
The Convertible Senior Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated August 22, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Senior Notes is 303.9976 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $3.29 per common share, and is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares.
Upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Convertible Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Convertible Senior Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The Convertible Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 21, 2028 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but only if the last reported sale price per common share exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice, and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. The indenture contains specified events of default and our failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due or within the relevant grace period on our Convertible Senior Notes would constitute an event of default under the Indenture, which could result in an acceleration of the maturity of the Convertible Senior Notes.
The Convertible Senior Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost, with debt issuance costs recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Convertible Senior Notes and amortized over the contractual term using the effective interest method.

Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the Convertible Senior Notes in August 2025, the Company entered into the Capped Call Transactions.
The Capped Calls are intended to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common shares upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset potential cash payments the Company may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap. The Capped Calls are subject to customary anti‑dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Senior Notes and are separate transactions that do not form part of the terms of the Convertible Senior Notes.
The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of $3.29 per common share and an initial cap price of $4.52 per common share, each subject to customary anti‑dilution adjustments.
The Capped Calls are considered indexed to the Company’s own equity and are classified as equity. Accordingly, the Capped Calls are recorded in shareholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivative instruments. The costs of $12,006 incurred in connection with the Capped Calls were recorded as a reduction to additional paid‑in capital. The Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be anti‑dilutive under the treasury stock method.

On December 5, 2023, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a loan agreement (the “Uranium Loan”) with Boss to borrow up to 200,000 pounds of uranium from Boss.
