Summary
Supplement to Energy Fuels’ proposed acquisition of Australian Strategic Materials (ASM), with updates on the separate proposed VAC acquisition and financing commitments. ASM’s terms are unchanged; its directors still unanimously recommend both schemes, and the replacement independent expert continues to find them fair, reasonable and in shareholders’ and optionholders’ best interests, absent a superior proposal. Scheme meetings are now scheduled for 8/12/2026.
Key Figures
| Metric | FY2025 | Prior period | Y/Y |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue, enlarged company pro forma, U.S. GAAP | $440M | — | — |
| Operating loss, enlarged company pro forma, U.S. GAAP | $(200)M | — | — |
| Net loss attributable to Energy Fuels Inc., enlarged company pro forma, U.S. GAAP | $(204)M | — | — |
| Diluted EPS, enlarged company pro forma, U.S. GAAP | $(0.72) | — | — |
- VAC consideration: approximately US$1.9B based on Energy Fuels’ 6/22/2026 share price; US$718M cash, 65.853M Energy Fuels shares and potentially preferred shares, including a value top-up of up to US$135M if the specified US$20.93 share-price threshold is not met. The share issuance would dilute existing holders.
- Financing commitments: conditional US$725M, 20-year U.S. Office of Strategic Capital loan for processing and metals/alloy projects; US$250M principal senior secured term loan commitment from Goldman Sachs, expected to help fund VAC’s cash consideration. Both remain subject to conditions.
- ASM scheme consideration implies A$1.249 per share based on 6/30/2026 prices: a 72% premium to ASM’s pre-announcement closing price and 82% to its pre-announcement 30-day VWAP. If shareholders do not approve the Share Scheme, ASM expects approximately A$5.1M in transaction costs.
