On July 31, 2020, Ur-Energy Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), providing for the issuance and sale by the Company in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 9,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, no par value per share (the “Shares”), and accompanying one-half common share warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,500,000 common shares (the “Warrants” together with the Shares, the “Securities”), at a combined public offering price of $0.52 per unit. Each whole Warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and will expire two years from the date of issuance.

The offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-238324) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a prospectus supplement thereto filed with the SEC on July 31, 2020.

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representation, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and termination provisions. The Securities Purchase Agreement has been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the Offering. Cantor agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities. Cantor was paid a cash fee equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Securities at the closing of the Offering and was reimbursed for its customary expenses.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes.

The Offering closed on August 4, 2020.
