Mr. Graham Thody reports
UEX TERMINATES SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
UEX Corp. has terminated the
shareholder rights plan adopted on Dec. 6, 2011.
All rights issued thereunder have been cancelled.
Accordingly, the rights plan will not be put forward for approval at
the annual meeting of shareholders of UEX to be held on June 5, 2012
(the annual meeting).
Cameco Corporation, directly and through its legal counsel,
advised UEX that it believed the adoption of the rights plan and its
potential operation in certain circumstances breached the pre-emptive
rights granted to Cameco under the agreement among Pioneer Metals
Corporation, UEX and Cameco dated Oct. 23, 2001. While UEX does not
agree with Cameco's position, UEX's board of directors has concluded
that it would not be in the best interests of UEX at the present time
to pursue adoption of the rights plan at the AGM and to potentially
engage in a legal dispute with its largest shareholder concerning these
matters. The board will continue to consider these matters and may, in
the future, adopt a shareholders rights plan if it is believed to be
appropriate at such time.
We seek Safe Harbor.
