U.UN Sprott Physical Uranium Trust

Sprott Asset Management LP (“Sprott Asset Management”), on behalf of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN) (TSX: U.U) (the “Trust”), a closed-ended trust created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical uranium, today announced that the Trust has filed and obtained a receipt from securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada for its amended and restated short form base shelf prospectus (the “Amended and Restated Shelf Prospectus”) amending and restating its short form base shelf prospectus dated August 10, 2021 (the “Original Shelf Prospectus”). The Amended and Restated Shelf Prospectus increases the amount available under the Original Shelf Prospectus by US$1.0 billion and allows the Trust to issue up to US$1.3 billion of units of the Trust in Canada during the 25-month period following the date of the Original Shelf Prospectus.

“Our ‘at-the-market’ equity program has been very well received by investors. Since its launch on August 17, 2021, the Trust has issued 24.7 million units for gross proceeds of approximately US$244.7 million,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. “The amount available under our Amended and Restated Shelf Prospectus is expected to allow the Trust to continue to meet investor demand by issuing new units and actively accumulate physical uranium.”

The specific terms of any offering under the Amended and Restated Shelf Prospectus will be set forth in a related prospectus supplement to the Amended and Restated Shelf Prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualifications under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
