Yellow Cake plc ("Yellow Cake" or the "Company")

Review of Long-term Incentive Plan

 

Yellow Cake, a specialist company operating in the uranium sector holding
physical uranium ("U(3)O(8)") for the long term, held its Annual General
Meeting on 6 September 2023 ("AGM").

At the time of the AGM announcement, the Company noted that Investor
Shareholder Services ("ISS"), a proxy advisory firm, raised concerns regarding
the conditions of vesting of the Company's long-term incentive options. While
the related resolution was passed by a majority of shareholders, the Company
undertook to consult with those shareholders who voted against this resolution
to better understand their specific concerns. The Company continues to engage
with the relevant shareholders and will provide an update on this in due
course in line with the UK Corporate Governance Code.

ABOUT YELLOW CAKE

Yellow Cake is a London-quoted company, headquartered in Jersey, which offers
exposure to the uranium spot price. This is achieved through its strategy of
buying and holding physical triuranium octoxide ("U(3)O(8)"). It may also seek
to add value through other uranium related activities. Yellow Cake seeks to
generate returns for shareholders through the appreciation of the value of its
holding of U(3)O(8) and its other uranium related activities in a rising
uranium price environment. The business is differentiated from its peers by
its ten-year Framework Agreement for the supply of U(3)O(8) with Kazatomprom,
the world's largest uranium producer. Yellow Cake currently holds 20.16
million pounds of U(3)O(8), all of which is held in storage in Canada and
France.
