Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Announces Updated “At-The-Market” Equity Program
09 September 2023 - 4:59AM
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$125
million of trust units (the “Units”) pursuant to a prospectus
supplement dated September 8, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to
the short form base shelf prospectus dated September 7, 2023 (the
“Shelf Prospectus” and, together with the Prospectus Supplement,
the “Offering Documents”). Copies of the Offering Documents are
available at www.sedarplus.com. Distributions will no longer be
made under previous ATM Program prospectus supplements, including
the prospectus supplement dated February 15, 2023.
Distributions under the ATM Program, if any,
will be completed in accordance with the terms of a sales agreement
dated August 16, 2021, as amended and restated on 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.com.
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.
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.
