Yellow Cake plc n amed to 2024 OTCQX Best 50
Yellow Cake plc ("Yellow Cake" or the "Company"), a specialist
company operating in the uranium sector holding physical uranium
for the long term, is pleased to announce it has been named to the
2024 OTCQX(R) Best 50, a ranking of top performing companies traded
on the OTCQX Best Market last year.
The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking of the top 50 U.S. and
international companies traded on the OTCQX market. The ranking is
calculated based on an equal weighting of one-year total return and
average daily dollar volume growth in the previous calendar year.
Companies in the 2024 OTCQX Best 50 were ranked based on their
performance in 2023.
Yellow Cake was first admitted to trading on the AIM Market of
the London Stock Exchange via an IPO in July 2018, with a valuation
and equity raising of approximately GBP151 million (US$200
million). Yellow Cake was subsequently admitted to trading on OTCQX
in June 2022, with a market capitalisation at that time of GBP591
million (US$724 million).
Today, Yellow Cake is valued at GBP1,582 million (US$2,002
million)[1], and the Company has grown to become one of the largest
holders of physical uranium in the world.
Andre Liebenberg, CEO of Yellow Cake, said:
"We are proud to have been named to the 2024 OTCQX(R) Best 50.
It's a sign of the considerable progress we have made and the value
we have delivered on behalf of our shareholders since taking the
decision to join the OTCQX market. Though we celebrate our
nomination today we remain fully focused on the future. We continue
to see a hugely compelling investment case for uranium, driven by
the same supply demand fundamentals that saw us come to OTCQX in
2022. Nuclear power is now accepted globally as a core element of
the future clean energy mix driven by long term demand, while
geological and geopolitical factors will put a strain on future
supply. We look forward with real confidence in our strategy and
the outlook for uranium."

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.
