Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Announces Updated “At-the-Market” Equity Program
January 03 2024 - 7:51PM
Sprott Asset Management LP (“Sprott Asset Management”), on behalf
of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN) (TSX: U.U) (the
“Trust” or “SPUT”), a closed-ended trust created to invest and hold
substantially all of its assets in physical uranium, today
announced that the Trust has updated its at-the-market equity
program (the “ATM Program”) to issue up to an additional US$1.0
billion of trust units (the “Units”) pursuant to a prospectus
supplement dated January 3, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to
the short form base shelf prospectus dated January 3, 2024 (the
“Shelf Prospectus” and, together with the Prospectus Supplement,
the “Offering Documents”). Copies of the Offering Documents are
available at www.sedarplus.ca.
Distributions under the ATM Program, if any,
will be completed in accordance with the terms of an amended and
restated sales agreement dated September 13, 2021, as amended on
November 22, 2021 and as further amended on September 8, 2023 (the
“Sales Agreement”) between Sprott Asset Management (as the manager
of the Trust), the Trust, Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation and
Virtu Canada Corp. (collectively, the “Agents”). The Sales
Agreement is also available at www.sedarplus.ca.
Sales of Units through the Agents, acting as
agent, will be made through “at the market” issuances on the
Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) or other existing trading markets in
Canada at the market price prevailing at the time of each sale,
and, as a result, sale prices may vary. The Agents may only sell
Units on marketplaces in Canada.
The volume and timing of distributions under the
ATM Program, if any, will be determined in the Trust's sole
discretion. The Trust intends to use the proceeds from the ATM
Program, if any, to acquire physical uranium in accordance with the
Trust's objective and subject to the Trust's investment and
operating restrictions.
Before you invest, you should read the Offering
Documents and other documents that the Trust has filed for more
complete information about the Trust, the Sales Agreement and the
ATM Program.
Listing of the Units sold pursuant to the ATM
Program on the TSX will be subject to fulfilling all applicable
listing requirements.

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.
