Item 5. Other Events.

     On September 27, 2002, United States Enrichment Corporation (the “Company”), the wholly-owned principal operating subsidiary of USEC Inc. (“USEC”), entered into a three-year syndicated revolving credit facility to replace USEC’s credit facility that had been scheduled to expire in July 2003. The new three-year facility provides up to $150 million in revolving credit commitments (including up to $50 million in letters of credit) and is secured by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and certain assets of USEC, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the new facility are subject to certain limitations based on certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The obligations of the Company under the facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by USEC.

     Outstanding borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to, based on the Company’s election, either (i) the sum of (x) the greater of the JPMorgan Chase Bank prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% plus (y) a margin ranging from .75% to 1.25% based upon collateral availability or (ii) the sum of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.5% to 3% based on collateral availability. The new facility contains events of default, including, without limitation, certain cross-default provisions and various operating and financial covenants that are customary for transactions of this type, including, without limitation, restrictions on the incurrence and prepayment of other indebtedness, granting of liens, sales of assets, making of investments, maintenance of a minimum amount of inventory, and payment of dividends or other distributions. The new facility does not restrict USEC’s payment of common stock dividends at its current level, subject to the maintenance of a specified minimum level of collateral.

     The foregoing summary of the revolving credit facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed hereto as an exhibit.
