On April 13, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ur-Energy Inc. (“Ur-Energy” or the “Company”) approved and adopted certain amendments to the Ur-Energy Inc. Restricted Share Unit Plan, as amended, including renaming of the plan to be known as the Ur-Energy Inc. Amended and Restated Share Unit and Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

 

The holders of common shares of the Company (the “Shareholders”) will be asked to confirm and ratify the amendments to the Plan at the Company’s next annual meeting of Shareholders, currently scheduled for June 3, 2021. If the amendments are not confirmed by an ordinary resolution at the annual meeting of Shareholders, they will be of no force and effect, although the Plan will remain in place in its earlier form, as previously approved by the Shareholders.

 

In addition to renaming the Plan, the amendments permit the grant of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) (subject to performance conditions over a defined performance period) and Direct Share Issuance of common shares (“DSIs”)(with or without conditions of vesting). The amendments do not request any increase in the percentage number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. The full text of the Plan, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1
