Questions Relating to the Arrangement

 

Q: What is the Arrangement?

 

A: On October 1, 2024, IsoEnergy and Anfield entered into the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, IsoEnergy agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the BCBCA.

 

Subject to receipt of the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the Final Order and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions, at the Effective Time, IsoEnergy will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares. If the Arrangement is completed, Anfield will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IsoEnergy.

 

See “The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement”.

 

Q: What will Anfield Shareholders receive under the Arrangement?

 

A: Under the terms of the Arrangement, each Anfield Shareholder (excluding Dissenting Anfield Shareholders) will receive 0.031 of an IsoEnergy Share for each Anfield Share held at the Effective Time. The Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement represent a premium of approximately 32.1% over the price of the Anfield Shares, based on the 20-day VWAP of the Anfield Shares and the IsoEnergy Shares over all Canadian stock exchanges ending on October 1, 2024, the last trading day prior to the Announcement Date.

 

See “The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement”.

 

 1 

 

 

Q: What will IsoEnergy Shareholders receive under the Arrangement?

 

A: IsoEnergy Shareholders will continue to own their existing IsoEnergy Shares on completion of the Arrangement. Following the completion of the Arrangement, Former IsoEnergy Shareholders are expected to own approximately 83.8%, and Former Anfield Shareholders are expected to own approximately 16.2% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on a fully-diluted in-the-money basis, in each case based on the number of securities of IsoEnergy and Anfield issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2024.

 

Q: If the Arrangement is completed, how many IsoEnergy Shares will be issued to former Anfield Securityholders at the Effective Time in connection with the Arrangement?

 

A: If the maximum number of Anfield Shares are issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (as a result of the exercise of outstanding Anfield Options and Anfield Warrants), IsoEnergy expects to issue approximately 46,282,822 IsoEnergy Shares to Anfield Securityholders in connection with the Arrangement, based on the number of Anfield Securities outstanding as of October 30, 2024, and including a 2% buffer to account for clerical and administrative matters.

 

Q: Does the IsoEnergy Board support the Arrangement?

 

A: Yes. The IsoEnergy Board, having undertaken a thorough review of, and having carefully considered the terms of the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, and after consultation with representatives of IsoEnergy’s senior management, its financial and legal advisors and having received and taken into account the Canaccord Fairness Opinion and such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, including the factors set out below under the heading “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and unanimously recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

See “The Arrangement – Background to the Arrangement” and “The Arrangement – Canaccord Fairness Opinion”.

 

Q: Why is the IsoEnergy Board making this recommendation?

 

A: In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendation, the IsoEnergy Board consulted with representatives of IsoEnergy’s senior management team and its legal and financial advisors. The IsoEnergy Board also reviewed a significant amount of technical, financial and operational information relating to IsoEnergy and Anfield and considered a number of factors and reasons, including those listed below. The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous determination of the IsoEnergy Board that the Arrangement is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and the unanimous recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

·Expected Expansion of Near-Term U.S. Uranium Production Capacity The combined portfolio (the “Combined Portfolio”) of permitted past-producing mines and development projects in the Western U.S. is expected to provide IsoEnergy with substantial increased uranium production potential in the short, medium and long term.

 

·Ownership of Shootaring Canyon Mill – Completion of the Arrangement secures ownership of the Shootaring Canyon Mill, one of only three permitted conventional uranium mills in the U.S., and which is located adjacent to IsoEnergy’s Tony M Mine. A production reactivation plan has been submitted to the UDEQ for the Shootaring Canyon Mill. The plan addresses the updating of the mill’s radioactive materials licence from its current standby status to operational status as well as to increase throughput from 750 stpd to 1,000 stpd and expand licensed annual production capacity from 1 million lbs U₃O₈ to 3 million lbs U₃O₈. IsoEnergy has existing toll-milling agreements in place with Energy Fuels for its White Mesa Mill to provide additional processing flexibility for certain of IsoEnergy’s mines.

·Complimentary Project Portfolio Provides Immediate Operational Synergies Benefits from the proximity of the Combined Portfolio in Utah and Colorado are expected to include, reduced transportation costs, increased operational flexibility for mining and processing, reduction in G&A on a per pound basis, and risk diversification through multiple production sources.

 

·Aligned with Goal of Building a Multi-Asset Uranium Producer in Tier-One Jurisdictions – Beyond the impressive Combined Portfolio in the U.S., the proforma company will have a robust pipeline of development and exploration-stage projects in tier-one uranium jurisdictions, including the world’s highest grade published indicated uranium mineral resource in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.

 

·Well-Timed to Capitalize on Strong Momentum in the Nuclear Industry – Recent industry headlines relating to increasing demand and support for nuclear power are expected to drive uranium demand and, by extension prices, coinciding with expected production and development of the Combined Portfolio.

 

·Enhanced Capital Markets Profile with Strong Shareholder Base. The Arrangement is expected to provide IsoEnergy with greater access to capital and trading liquidity, strengthened position for future M&A, expanded research coverage and increased attractiveness among investors and utilities. Additionally, the pro forma company will be backed by corporate and institutional investors of both companies, including, NexGen, Mega Uranium, enCore Energy, Energy Fuels and Uranium ETFs.

 

·Business Climate and Review of Strategic Alternatives. The IsoEnergy Board has periodically reviewed a range of strategic alternatives for creating shareholder value, and in the ordinary course of business IsoEnergy has had regular engagement with several industry peers in that regard, including other potential transactions. The IsoEnergy Board consulted with its financial and legal advisors, and reviewed the current and prospective business climate in the uranium industry and other strategic opportunities reasonably available to IsoEnergy, including continuation as an independent enterprise, potential acquisitions and various combinations of IsoEnergy or its mineral properties by way of joint venture or otherwise, in each case taking into account the potential benefits, risks and uncertainties associated with those other opportunities. IsoEnergy believes that following completion of the Arrangement, it will be better positioned to continue its strategy of pursuing growth through M&A, while focusing on its core assets in the Athabasca Basin and the U.S.

 

·Other Factors. The IsoEnergy Board also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economic, industry, and market trends affecting each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, information concerning mineral reserves and mineral resources, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects of each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, the historical trading prices of the IsoEnergy Shares and the Anfield Shares and taking into account the results of IsoEnergy’s due diligence review of Anfield and its properties.

 

See “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”.

Q: What steps has IsoEnergy and the IsoEnergy Board undertaken to protect the interests of IsoEnergy and IsoEnergy Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement?

 

A: In making its determinations and recommendations, the IsoEnergy Board observed that a number of procedural safeguards were in place and present to permit the IsoEnergy Board to protect the interests of IsoEnergy, the IsoEnergy Shareholders and other IsoEnergy stakeholders. These procedural safeguards include, among others:

 

·Canaccord Fairness Opinion. The IsoEnergy Board received the Canaccord Fairness Opinion from Canaccord Genuity to the effect that, as of October 1, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set out therein, the Share Consideration to be paid by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to IsoEnergy. See “Appendix F – Canaccord Fairness Opinion”.

 

·Arm’s length transaction. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of comprehensive arm’s length negotiations. The IsoEnergy Board took an active role in negotiating the materials terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement Agreement includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the IsoEnergy Board.

 

·Support of Board, Management Team and Significant Shareholders. All of the directors and executive management of IsoEnergy, and certain significant shareholders of IsoEnergy, have entered into support and voting agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

 

·Conduct of IsoEnergy’s business. The IsoEnergy Board believes that the restrictions imposed on IsoEnergy’s business and operations during the pendency of the Arrangement are reasonable and not unduly burdensome.

 

·Shareholder Approval. The Share Issuance Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by IsoEnergy Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

Q: Who else has agreed to support the Arrangement?

 

A: Anfield has entered into IsoEnergy Support Agreements with each of the Supporting IsoEnergy Shareholders, pursuant to which the Supporting IsoEnergy Shareholders have agreed, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the IsoEnergy Support Agreements, to vote their IsoEnergy Shares in favour of the Share Issuance Resolution. As of October 31, 2024, the Supporting IsoEnergy Shareholders collectively, owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, an aggregate of 64,597,075 IsoEnergy Shares, representing approximately 36.13% of the outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on a non-diluted basis.

 

Q: What is required to complete the Arrangement?

 

A: Completion of the Arrangement is conditional upon, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including:

 

·the Share Issuance Resolution having been approved by the IsoEnergy Shareholders at the IsoEnergy Meeting in accordance with applicable Law;

 

·the Arrangement Resolution having been approved by the Anfield Shareholders at the Anfield Meeting in accordance with the Interim Order and applicable Law;

 

 4 

 

 

·the Final Order having been obtained in form and substance satisfactory to each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, each acting reasonably, and not having been set aside or modified in a manner unacceptable to either Anfield or IsoEnergy, each acting reasonably, on appeal or otherwise;

 

·the necessary conditional approval of each of the TSX and the TSXV having been obtained, including in respect of the listing and posting for trading of the Consideration Shares on the TSX;

 

·CFIUS Approval having been obtained without the imposition by CFIUS of any Burdensome Condition;

 

·no Law having been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, made, entered, issued or applied and no Proceeding having otherwise been taken under any Laws or by any Governmental Authority (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that makes the Arrangement illegal or otherwise directly or indirectly cease trades, enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits completion of the Arrangement; and

 

·the Consideration Shares being exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof and exemptions under applicable state securities laws.

 

See “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective”.

 

Q: Are Anfield Shareholders required to approve the Arrangement?

 

A: In accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, Anfield Shareholders will be asked to vote on the Arrangement Resolution at the Anfield Meeting. In order to be effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of: (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Anfield Shareholders, present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Anfield Meeting, and (ii) at least a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Anfield Shareholders, present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Anfield Meeting, excluding for the purposes of (ii) the votes for Anfield Shares held or controlled by certain interested persons as described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101.

 

The Anfield Meeting is expected to be held on December 3, 2024. If the Anfield Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Anfield Meeting, the Arrangement will not be completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Anfield Board, without further notice to or approval of the Anfield Shareholders, to amend the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, to the extent permitted by the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, and not to proceed with the Arrangement at any time prior to the Effective Time. Anfield Shareholders will not be asked to vote on any of the matters to be considered and voted upon at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

See “Regulatory Matters and Approvals – Shareholder Approvals – Anfield Shareholder Approval”.

 

Q: When does IsoEnergy expect the Arrangement to become effective?

 

A: The Arrangement is expected to close in December 2024. Closing is conditional on receipt of the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the Final Order and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions. It is possible that factors outside the control of IsoEnergy and/or Anfield could result in the Arrangement being completed at a later time, or not at all. Subject to certain limitations, each Party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement is not consummated by December 31, 2024, which date can be unilaterally extended by a Party for up to an additional 60 days (in five to 15-day increments) if the only unsatisfied condition is the CFIUS Approval, or extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.

See “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective”.

 

Q. How will I know when all required approvals for completion of the Arrangement have been obtained?

 

A. IsoEnergy and Anfield will issue press releases once all the necessary approvals have been received and conditions to the completion of the Arrangement have been satisfied or waived, other than conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Effective Time.

 

Q: What will happen to Anfield if the Arrangement is completed?

 

A: If the Arrangement is completed, IsoEnergy will acquire all of the Anfield Shares and Anfield will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IsoEnergy. IsoEnergy intends to have the Anfield Shares delisted from the TSXV as promptly as possible following the Effective Date. In addition, subject to applicable Laws and the delisting of the Anfield Listed Warrants, IsoEnergy will apply to have Anfield cease to be a reporting issuer in all jurisdictions in which it is a reporting issuer and thus will terminate Anfield’s reporting obligations in Canada following completion of the Arrangement.

 

Q: Will the Consideration Shares be traded on an exchange?

 

A: The IsoEnergy Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “ISO” and are also listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “ISENF”. It is anticipated that, following completion of the Arrangement, the IsoEnergy Shares will continue to be listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “ISO” and listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “ISENF”.

 

It is a condition to the completion of the Arrangement that the TSX shall have conditionally approved the listing of the Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement on the TSX. The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the IsoEnergy Shares to be issued under the Arrangement, subject to filing certain documents following the closing of the Arrangement.

 

Q: Where will the corporate offices of IsoEnergy be located following completion of the Arrangement?

 

A: Following completion of the Arrangement, IsoEnergy’s head and registered office will continue to be located at 217 Queen Street West, Unit 401, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0R2.

 

Q: Are there any risks I should consider in connection with the Arrangement?

 

A: Yes. There are a number of risk factors relating to the Arrangement, the business and operations of each of Anfield and IsoEnergy and the business and operations of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement, all of which should be carefully considered by IsoEnergy Shareholders in evaluating whether to approve the Arrangement Resolution. In addition to the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the IsoEnergy AIF, which is specifically incorporated by reference into this Circular, IsoEnergy Shareholders should carefully consider the risk factors relating to IsoEnergy described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Circular. Readers are cautioned that such risk factors are not exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial to IsoEnergy, may also adversely affect IsoEnergy or Anfield prior to the Arrangement, or IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement.

 

 6 

 

 

See “Risk Factors”.

 

Q: What will happen if the Share Issuance Resolution is not approved or the Arrangement is not completed for any reason?

 

A: If the Share Issuance Resolution is not approved or the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated and IsoEnergy will continue to operate independently. In certain circumstances, Anfield will be required to pay to IsoEnergy the Termination Fee in connection with such termination. In addition, in certain circumstances, each of IsoEnergy and Anfield will be required to pay the other Party an expense reimbursement of up to $450,000. Further, in the event that the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by either IsoEnergy or Anfield for any reason, among other circumstances, the Bridge Loan will become immediately repayable. If, for any reason, the Arrangement is not completed or its completion is materially delayed and/or the Arrangement Agreement is terminated, the market price of the IsoEnergy Shares may be materially adversely affected and IsoEnergy’s business, financial condition or results of operations could also be subject to various material adverse consequences, including that IsoEnergy would remain liable for costs relating to the Arrangement.

 

See “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement – Termination” and “Risk Factors”.

 

Q: Are IsoEnergy Shareholders entitled to Dissent Rights?

 

A: Under applicable Canadian Law, IsoEnergy Shareholders are not entitled to dissent rights with respect to the Share Issuance Resolution. However, IsoEnergy’s obligation to complete the Arrangement is conditional upon Anfield Shareholders holding no more than 5% of the outstanding Anfield Shares having exercised Dissent Rights. Accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed if Anfield Shareholders exercise Dissent Rights in respect of more than 5% of the outstanding Anfield Shares.

 

Questions relating to the IsoEnergy Meeting and Voting

 

Q: Why did I receive this Circular?

 

A: You received this Circular because, as an IsoEnergy Shareholder, you are being asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to approve the Share Issuance Resolution, which will approve the issuance of the IsoEnergy Shares, in connection with a court-approved Plan of Arrangement under the BCBCA, pursuant to which IsoEnergy will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares. You are also being asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to approve the Share Consolidation Resolution, which will authorize the IsoEnergy Board to proceed with the Share Consolidation should the IsoEnergy Board elect to do so. The full text of the Share Issuance Resolution is set out in Appendix A to this Circular, and the full text of the Share Consolidation Resolution is set out in Appendix B to this Circular.

 

Q: When and where will the IsoEnergy Meeting be held?

 

A: The IsoEnergy Meeting will be held as a virtual meeting at meetnow.global/M9YNP66 on December 3, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time).

 

Q: What am I being asked to approve at the IsoEnergy Meeting?

 

A: At the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Share Issuance Resolution, which includes approval of the issuance of up to 46,282,822 IsoEnergy Shares issuable in connection with the Arrangement. If IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Arrangement will not be completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Issuance Resolution authorizes the IsoEnergy Board, without further notice to or approval of the IsoEnergy Shareholders, to revoke the Share Issuance Resolution at any time prior to the Effective Time if they decide not to proceed with the Arrangement.

 

 7 

 

 

At the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will also be asked to approve the Share Consolidation Resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Consolidation Resolution authorizes the IsoEnergy Board, without further notice to or approval of the IsoEnergy Shareholders, to revoke the Share Consolidation Resolution at any time if they decide not to proceed with the Share Consolidation.

 

See “Business of the IsoEnergy Meeting”.

 

Q: Why am I being asked to approve the Share Issuance Resolution?

 

A: The TSX requires an acquiring company to obtain shareholder approval if the number of shares to be issued as consideration for an acquisition exceeds 25% of its outstanding shares. If the maximum number of Anfield Shares are issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (as a result of the exercise of outstanding Anfield Options and Anfield Warrants), IsoEnergy expects to issue approximately 46,282,822 IsoEnergy Shares to Anfield Securityholders in connection with the Arrangement based on the number of Anfield Securities outstanding as of October 30, 2024, and including a 2% buffer to account for clerical and administrative matters, representing approximately 25.88% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares as of October 30, 2024. If IsoEnergy Shareholder approval for the Share Issuance Resolution is not obtained, IsoEnergy will not be able to complete the Arrangement.

 

Q: What level of IsoEnergy Shareholder approval is required for the Share Issuance Resolution?

 

A: In order to be effective, the Share Issuance Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast on the Share Issuance Resolution by IsoEnergy Shareholders, present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

The IsoEnergy Board has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and unanimously recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

See “Business of the IsoEnergy Meeting – Share Issuance Resolution” and “Regulatory Matters and Approvals – Shareholder Approvals – IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval”.

 

Q: What is the Share Consolidation?

 

A: The IsoEnergy Board believes that it may be in the best interests IsoEnergy and the IsoEnergy Shareholders to consolidate the number of IsoEnergy Shares in order to raise the per-share trading price of the IsoEnergy Shares to facilitate a potential future listing on a U.S. Exchange. Such a listing would be intended to, among other things, position IsoEnergy to attract additional investor interest from the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions.

At the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Share Consolidation Resolution, to authorize an amendment to IsoEnergy’s articles to provide that: (i) the authorized capital of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on the basis of one Post-Consolidation Share for a number of pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares to be determined within a range of whole numbers between 2 and 5 outstanding pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the IsoEnergy Board in its sole discretion, at anytime prior to December 2, 2025; and (ii) any fractional Post-Consolidation Shares arising from the Share Consolidation will be deemed to have been tendered by their registered owner to IsoEnergy for cancellation for no consideration.

 

If the Share Consolidation Resolution is approved at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Share Consolidation would only be implemented, if at all, upon a determination by the IsoEnergy Board that it is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and the IsoEnergy Shareholders. IsoEnergy would issue a press release announcing the specific consolidation ratio and the effective date of the Share Consolidation prior to filing Articles of Amendment with the Director under the OBCA to effect the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation would also be subject to the approval of the TSX. The IsoEnergy Board’s selection of the specific consolidation ratio will be based primarily on the then current and historical prices of the IsoEnergy Shares and expected stability of that price.

 

See “Business of the IsoEnergy Meeting – Share Consolidation”.

 

Q: What level of IsoEnergy Shareholder approval is required for the Share Consolidation Resolution?

 

A: In order to be effective, the Share Consolidation Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast on the Share Consolidation Resolution by IsoEnergy Shareholders, present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

The IsoEnergy Board has unanimously recommended that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Consolidation Resolution.

 

See “Business of the IsoEnergy Meeting – Share Consolidation Resolution”.

 

Q: What constitutes quorum for the IsoEnergy Meeting?

 

A: Under IsoEnergy’s by-laws, the quorum for the IsoEnergy Meeting is two persons present in person, each being a IsoEnergy Shareholder entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting or a duly appointed proxy or proxyholder for an absent IsoEnergy Shareholder so entitled, holding or representing in the aggregate not less than 5% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares carrying voting rights at the IsoEnergy Meeting. IsoEnergy Shareholders who attend, participate in and/or vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting online are deemed to be present at the IsoEnergy Meeting for all purposes, including quorum.

 

Q: Who is soliciting my proxy?

 

A: Your proxy is being solicited on behalf of the management of IsoEnergy. Management will solicit proxies primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally, by advertisement or by telephone by directors, officers or employees of IsoEnergy to whom no additional compensation will be paid.

 

IsoEnergy has retained Laurel Hill in connection with the solicitation of proxies. All costs of solicitation by management will be borne by IsoEnergy.

Q: If my IsoEnergy Shares are held by an Intermediary, will they vote my IsoEnergy Shares for me?

 

A: As a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder, you may either vote by submitting voting instructions or vote by live Internet webcast by following the steps below.

 

Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders – Voting by Submitting Voting Instructions

 

If you are a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder, your Intermediary will send you your proxy-related materials and a voting instruction form that allows you to provide voting instructions to your Intermediary on the Internet, by telephone or by mail. To vote, you should follow the instructions provided on your voting instruction form. Your Intermediary is required to ask for your voting instructions before the IsoEnergy Meeting. Without specific instructions, your Intermediary is prohibited from voting your IsoEnergy Shares at the IsoEnergy Meeting. IsoEnergy does not know for whose benefit the IsoEnergy Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co., DTC, or another Intermediary, are held. Please contact your Intermediary if you do not receive a voting instruction form. Alternatively, you may receive from your Intermediary a preauthorized form of proxy indicating the number of IsoEnergy Shares to be voted, which you should complete, sign, date and return as directed on the form. Each Intermediary has its own procedures which should be carefully followed by Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders to ensure that their IsoEnergy Shares are voted by their Intermediary on their behalf at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

 12 

 

 

The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge. Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. If you are a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder, you are requested to complete and return the voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions set out therein. Broadridge tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions regarding the voting of IsoEnergy Shares to be represented at the IsoEnergy Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. IsoEnergy may utilize Broadridge’s QuickVote™ service to assist eligible NOBOs with voting their IsoEnergy Shares over the telephone. Certain NOBOs may be contacted by Laurel Hill, which is soliciting proxies on behalf of the management of IsoEnergy, to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the telephone.

 

If you have questions, you may contact IsoEnergy’s proxy solicitation agent, Laurel Hill, at 1-877-452- 7184 toll free in North America, or at 1-416-304-0211 outside of North America, or by e-mail at assistance@laurelhill.com.

 

Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders – Voting by Live Internet Webcast

 

A Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder can only vote its IsoEnergy Shares online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting if it has previously appointed itself as the proxyholder for its IsoEnergy Shares by printing its name in the space provided on the voting instruction form and submitting it as directed on the form.

 

In addition, in order to ask questions and vote online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting, Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders must also take the additional step of registering themselves as a proxyholder with Computershare after it has submitted its voting instruction form. To do so, such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder must access http://www.computershare.com/IsoEnergy by no later than at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 29, 2024, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned or postponed IsoEnergy Meeting, and provide Computershare with their contact information so that Computershare may register such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder and provide them with an invitation code for the IsoEnergy Meeting via email. This invitation code will allow a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder to log in to the live webcast and vote online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting. The failure of a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder to register themselves as a proxyholder with Computershare will result in such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder not receiving an invitation code, which will prevent such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder from being able to ask questions or vote online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting and only being able to attend the IsoEnergy Meeting online as a guest. Guests will not be permitted to vote or ask questions online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

A Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder may also appoint someone else (who need not be an IsoEnergy Shareholder) as its proxyholder to vote its IsoEnergy Shares online at the IsoEnergy Meeting by printing their name in the space provided on the voting instruction form and submitting it as directed on the form. In addition, in order for the Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder’s proxyholder to ask questions and vote online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder must also take the additional step of registering its proxyholder with Computershare after it has submitted its voting instruction form. To do so, such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder must access http://www.computershare.com/IsoEnergy by no later than at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 29, 2024, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned or postponed IsoEnergy Meeting, and provide Computershare with their proxyholder’s contact information so that Computershare may register such proxyholder and provide the proxyholder with an invitation code for the IsoEnergy Meeting via email. This invitation code will allow the Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder’s proxyholder to log in to the live webcast and vote online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting. The failure of Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder to register their proxyholder with Computershare will result in such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder’s proxyholder not receiving an invitation code, which will prevent such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder’s proxyholder from being able to ask questions or vote online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting and only being able to attend the IsoEnergy Meeting online as a guest. Guests will not be permitted to vote or ask questions online in real time at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

If a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder plans to participate in the IsoEnergy Meeting (or to have its proxyholder participate in the IsoEnergy Meeting), such Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder or its proxyholder will not be entitled to vote or ask questions online in real time, unless the proper documentation is completed and received by the Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder’s Intermediary well in advance of the IsoEnergy Meeting to allow them to forward the necessary information to Computershare before at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 29, 2024.

Although IsoEnergy has no knowledge that would indicate that any of the information provided by Anfield is untrue or incomplete, neither IsoEnergy nor any of its officers or directors assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information, nor any failure by Anfield to disclose facts or events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information, but which are unknown to IsoEnergy.

Presentation of Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information included in this Circular is reported in Canadian dollars and has been prepared by IsoEnergy management in accordance with the basis of presentation discussed below. The historical financial statements and all other financial information of IsoEnergy and Anfield included or incorporated by reference in this Circular are reported in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The IsoEnergy Annual Financial Statements and Anfield Annual Financial Statements, in each case, were audited in accordance with the standards of the IFRS.

 

Pro Forma Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information included in this Circular gives effect to the Arrangement and certain related adjustments described in the notes accompanying such financial information. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Arrangement as if it had closed on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the six months ended June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Arrangement as if it had closed on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based on the respective historical audited consolidated financial statements of IsoEnergy and Anfield as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the respective unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of IsoEnergy and Anfield as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read together with: (i) the IsoEnergy Annual Financial Statements incorporated by reference into this Circular, (ii) the Anfield Annual Financial Statements incorporated by reference into this Circular, (iii) the IsoEnergy Interim Financial Statements, (iv) the Anfield Interim Financial Statements, and (v) other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Circular.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what IsoEnergy’s financial condition and results of operations following completion of the Arrangement would have been had the Arrangement occurred on the dates indicated. It also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of the operations of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement. The actual financial position and results of operations of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information due to a variety of factors.

 

 33 

 

 

The unaudited pro forma information and adjustments, including the allocation of the purchase price, are based upon preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, current available information and certain assumptions that IsoEnergy believes are reasonable in the circumstances, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. The actual adjustments to the consolidated financial statements of IsoEnergy upon closing of the Arrangement will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the actual expenses of the Arrangement and other additional information that becomes available after the date of this Circular. As a result, it is expected that actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and the differences may be material. See “Forward- Looking Information” and “Risk Factors”.

Scientific and Technical Information

 

All mineral resources for IsoEnergy and Anfield have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101. All mineral resources are reported exclusive of mineral reserves. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimation of “measured”, “indicated” or “inferred” mineral resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable mineral reserves. The estimation of “inferred” mineral resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of mineral resources. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a “measured”, “indicated” or “inferred” mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category or converted into a mineral reserve. Under Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred mineral resources” may not form the basis of feasibility studies, pre-feasibility studies or other economic studies, except in prescribed cases, such as in a preliminary economic assessment under certain circumstances. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of a “measured”, “indicated” or “inferred” mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. An estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported inferred mineral resources in an estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define such inferred mineral resources as an indicated mineral resource or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated mineral resource or measured mineral resource category. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. The mineral resources in this Circular were reported using CIM Definition Standards.

Cautionary Note to IsoEnergy Shareholders in the United States Concerning Estimates of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources

 

Disclosure regarding mineral properties, including with respect to mineral resource estimates included in this Circular, including the annexes hereto and the documents incorporated by reference herein, was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. For example, the terms “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Definition Standards”). These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this Circular may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.

The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement will be considered.

IsoEnergy is incorporated under the Laws of the Province of Ontario and is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act, and the solicitations of proxies for the IsoEnergy Meeting are therefore not subject to the requirements of Section 14(a) of the U.S. Exchange Act. Accordingly, the solicitations and transactions contemplated in this Circular are being made in the United States for securities of a Canadian issuer in accordance with Canadian corporate Laws and Canadian Securities Laws, and this Circular has been prepared solely in accordance with disclosure requirements applicable in Canada. IsoEnergy Shareholders in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States applicable to registration statements under the U.S. Securities Act and proxy statements under the U.S. Exchange Act.

 

Information concerning the operations and business of IsoEnergy and Anfield contained or incorporated by reference herein has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian Securities Laws, which differ from the requirements of U.S. Securities Laws. The financial statements of IsoEnergy and Anfield were prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differs from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States in certain material respects, and thus such financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements and information of United States companies prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. See also “General Information — Presentation of Financial Information”.

 

The historical financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS and, except as otherwise indicated, all other financial information of IsoEnergy and Anfield included or incorporated by reference in this Circular is presented in Canadian dollars. The IsoEnergy Annual Financial Statements and Anfield Financial Statements have been audited, in each case, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.

 

The enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws may be affected adversely by the fact that IsoEnergy is incorporated or organized outside the United States, that most or all of its directors and officers and the experts named in this Circular are not residents of the United States and that all or a substantial portion of its assets and such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. IsoEnergy Shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon IsoEnergy, its officers and directors or the experts named herein, or to realize against them upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws. In addition, U.S. IsoEnergy Shareholders should not assume that the courts of Canada: (i) would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws; or (ii) would enforce, in an original action, liabilities against such persons predicated upon civil liabilities under U.S. Securities Laws.

 

No broker, dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation other than those contained in this Circular and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by IsoEnergy or Anfield.

The Arrangement

 

Details of the Arrangement

 

On October 1, 2024, IsoEnergy and Anfield entered into the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, IsoEnergy agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the BCBCA. Subject to receipt of the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the Final Order and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions, at the Effective Time, IsoEnergy will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares. If the Arrangement is completed, Anfield will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IsoEnergy and IsoEnergy will continue the operations of IsoEnergy and Anfield on a combined basis. Under the terms of the Arrangement, each Anfield Shareholder (excluding Dissenting Anfield Shareholders) will receive 0.031 of an IsoEnergy Share for each Anfield Share held at the Effective Time.

 

Following the completion of the Arrangement, Former IsoEnergy Shareholders are expected to own approximately 83.8%, and Former Anfield Shareholders are expected to own approximately 16.2% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on a fully-diluted in-the-money basis, in each case based on the number of securities of IsoEnergy and Anfield issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2024.

 

See “The Arrangement – Details of the Arrangement”.

 

Background to the Arrangement

 

The Arrangement Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations among representatives of IsoEnergy and Anfield and their respective legal and financial advisors, as more fully described herein.

 

See “The Arrangement – Background to the Arrangement”.

 

Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board

 

The IsoEnergy Board, having undertaken a thorough review of, and having carefully considered the terms of the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, and after consultation with representatives of IsoEnergy’s senior management, its financial and legal advisors and having received and taken into account the Canaccord Fairness Opinion and such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, including the factors set out below under the heading “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”, unanimously determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of IsoEnergy and authorized IsoEnergy to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. Accordingly, the IsoEnergy Board unanimously recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

See “The Arrangement – Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”.

 

Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board

 

In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendation, the IsoEnergy Board consulted with IsoEnergy’s senior management and its legal and financial advisors. The IsoEnergy Board also reviewed a significant amount of technical, financial and operational information relating to IsoEnergy and Anfield and considered a number of factors and reasons, including those listed below. The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

 43 

 

 

  ·Expected Expansion of Near-Term U.S. Uranium Production Capacity The combined portfolio (the “Combined Portfolio”) of permitted past-producing mines and development projects in the Western U.S. is expected to provide IsoEnergy with substantial increased uranium production potential in the short, medium and long term.
    
 ·Ownership of Shootaring Canyon Mill – Completion of the Arrangement secures ownership of the Shootaring Canyon Mill, one of only three permitted conventional uranium mills in the U.S., and which is located adjacent to IsoEnergy’s Tony M Mine. A production reactivation plan has been submitted to the UDEQ for the Shootaring Canyon Mill. The plan addresses the updating of the mill’s radioactive materials licence from its current standby status to operational status as well as to increase throughput from 750 stpd to 1,000 stpd and expand licensed annual production capacity from 1 million lbs U₃O₈ to 3 million lbs U₃O₈. IsoEnergy has existing toll-milling agreements in place with Energy Fuels for its White Mesa Mill to provide additional processing flexibility for certain of IsoEnergy’s mines.
   
 ·Complimentary Project Portfolio Provides Immediate Operational Synergies Benefits from the proximity of the Combined Portfolio in Utah and Colorado are expected to include, reduced transportation costs, increased operational flexibility for mining and processing, reduction in G&A on a per pound basis, and risk diversification through multiple production sources.
   
 ·Aligned with Goal of Building a Multi-Asset Uranium Producer in Tier-One Jurisdictions – Beyond the impressive Combined Portfolio in the U.S., the proforma company will have a robust pipeline of development and exploration-stage projects in tier-one uranium jurisdictions, including the world’s highest grade published indicated uranium mineral resource in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.
   
 ·Well-Timed to Capitalize on Strong Momentum in the Nuclear Industry – Recent industry headlines relating to increasing demand and support for nuclear power are expected to drive uranium demand and, by extension prices, coinciding with expected production and development of the Combined Portfolio.
   
 ·Enhanced Capital Markets Profile with Strong Shareholder Base. The Arrangement is expected to provide IsoEnergy with greater access to capital and trading liquidity, strengthened position for future M&A, expanded research coverage and increased attractiveness among investors and utilities. Additionally, the pro forma company will be backed by corporate and institutional investors of both companies, including, NexGen, Mega Uranium, enCore Energy, Energy Fuels and Uranium ETFs.
   
 ·Business Climate and Review of Strategic Alternatives. The IsoEnergy Board has periodically reviewed a range of strategic alternatives for creating shareholder value, and in the ordinary course of business IsoEnergy has had regular engagement with several industry peers in that regard, including other potential transactions. The IsoEnergy Board consulted with its financial and legal advisors, and reviewed the current and prospective business climate in the uranium industry and other strategic opportunities reasonably available to IsoEnergy, including continuation as an independent enterprise, potential acquisitions and various combinations of IsoEnergy or its mineral properties by way of joint venture or otherwise, in each case taking into account the potential benefits, risks and uncertainties associated with those other opportunities. IsoEnergy believes that following completion of the Arrangement, it will be better positioned to continue its strategy of pursuing growth through M&A, while focusing on its core assets in the Athabasca Basin and the U.S.

 

 44 

 

 

 

·Other Factors. The IsoEnergy Board also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economic, industry, and market trends affecting each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, information concerning mineral reserves and mineral resources, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects of each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, the historical trading prices of the IsoEnergy Shares and the Anfield Shares and taking into account the results of IsoEnergy’s due diligence review of Anfield and its properties.

 

See “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”.

 

Canaccord Fairness Opinion

 

In connection with the Arrangement, Canaccord Genuity provided the IsoEnergy Board with an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, on the basis of and subject to the particular assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, Canaccord Genuity is of the opinion that, as of October 1, 2024, the Share Consideration to be paid by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to IsoEnergy.

 

The full text of the Canaccord Fairness Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered, procedures followed and limitations and qualifications in connection with the Canaccord Fairness Opinion, is included as “Appendix F – Canaccord Fairness Opinion” attached to this Circular. This summary of the Canaccord Fairness Opinion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the opinion and IsoEnergy Shareholders are urged to read the Canaccord Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

 

See “The Arrangement – Canaccord Fairness Opinion”.

 

Description of the Plan of Arrangement

 

The following description of the Plan of Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement, which has been filed by IsoEnergy on its SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

 

If the Share Issuance Resolution is approved at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Anfield Meeting, the Final Order is issued by the Court and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, the Arrangement will take effect commencing and effective as at the Effective Time, which is expected to be at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Effective Date, which is expected to occur in December 2024. Commencing and effective as of the Effective Time on the Effective Date, each of the events set out below will occur and will be deemed to occur sequentially in the following order without any further authorization, act or formality of or by Anfield, IsoEnergy, or any other person:

 

 (a)each Anfield Share held by a Dissenting Anfield Shareholder will be, and will be deemed to be, transferred by the holder thereof, free and clear of all Liens, to IsoEnergy in consideration for a debt claim against IsoEnergy for an amount as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement, and: (i) such Dissenting Anfield Shareholder will cease to be the holder of each such Anfield Share or to have any rights as an Anfield Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value for each such Anfield Share in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement; and (ii) the name of such Dissenting Anfield Shareholder will be removed from the register of the Anfield Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of Anfield;
   
 (b)each Anfield Share (excluding any Anfield Shares held by a Dissenting Anfield Shareholder) will be, and will be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, free and clear of all Liens, to IsoEnergy and, in exchange therefor, IsoEnergy will issue the Share Consideration for each Anfield Share, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement, and: (i) the holders of such Anfield Shares will cease to be the holders of such Anfield Shares and to have any rights as holders of such Anfield Shares, other than the right to be issued the Share Consideration by IsoEnergy in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; (ii) such holders’ names will be removed from the register of the Anfield Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Anfield; and (iii) IsoEnergy will be, and shall be deemed to be, the transferee of such Anfield Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and will be entered in the register of the Anfield Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Anfield as the holder of such Anfield Shares; and

 

 

 45 

 

 

(c)each Anfield Option outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be deemed to be vested to the fullest extent, will cease to represent an option or other right to acquire Anfield Shares and shall be exchanged in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement for an option issued in accordance with the IsoEnergy LTIP (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from IsoEnergy the number of IsoEnergy Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to: (i) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (ii) the number of Anfield Shares subject to such Anfield Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, at an exercise price per IsoEnergy Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per Anfield Share otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Anfield Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as set out above, all terms and conditions of such Replacement Option, including conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the Anfield Option so exchanged, and any document evidencing an Anfield Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Option; provided that, it is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act (and any corresponding provision of provincial tax legislation) shall apply to such exchange of a Anfield Option for a Replacement Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Replacement Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of a Replacement Option exceeds the Anfield Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Anfield Option exchanged therefor, the exercise price per IsoEnergy Share of such Replacement Option will be increased accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time by the minimum amount necessary to ensure that the Replacement Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Replacement Option does not exceed the Anfield Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Anfield Option exchanged therefor.

 

In accordance with the terms of each of the Anfield Warrants, each Anfield Warrantholder will, upon the exercise of its Anfield Warrants, be entitled to receive and will accept for the same aggregate consideration, upon such exercise, in lieu of the number of Anfield Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Anfield Warrants, the aggregate number of IsoEnergy Shares that such holder would have been entitled to be issued and receive if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Anfield Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Anfield Warrants.

 

If completed, the Arrangement will result in the issuance, at the Effective Time, of 0.031 of an IsoEnergy Share for each Anfield Share held by former Anfield Shareholders (excluding Dissenting Anfield Shareholders) at the Effective Time. Following the completion of the Arrangement, Former IsoEnergy Shareholders are expected to own approximately 83.8%, and Former Anfield Shareholders are expected to own approximately 16.2% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on a fully-diluted in-the-money basis, in each case based on the number of securities of IsoEnergy and Anfield issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2024, the last trading day prior to the Announcement Date.

 

See “The Arrangement – Description of the Plan of Arrangement”.

 

 46 

 

 

Timing for Completion of the Arrangement

 

Subject to the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, the Arrangement will become effective at the Effective Time on the Effective Date, being the date upon which all of the conditions to completion of the Arrangement as set out in the Arrangement Agreement (excluding any conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, all documents agreed to be delivered thereunder have been delivered to the satisfaction of the recipient, acting reasonably.

 

If the Final Order is obtained in a form and substance satisfactory to IsoEnergy and Anfield, and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived by the applicable Party, the Parties expect the Effective Date to occur in December 2024, following the receipt of any required Regulatory Approvals or consents, including CFIUS Approval; however, it is not possible at this time to state with certainty when the Effective Date will occur as completion of the Arrangement may be delayed beyond this date if the conditions to completion of the Arrangement cannot be met on a timely basis. Subject to certain limitations, each Party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement is not consummated by the Outside Date, which date can be unilaterally extended by a Party for up to an additional 60 days (in five to 15-day increments) if the only unsatisfied condition is the CFIUS Approval, or extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.

Regulatory Matters and Approvals

 

Other than the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the CFIUS Approval, the Final Order, the necessary approval of the TSX for the listing of the IsoEnergy Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement, and the necessary approval of the TSXV for the delisting of the Anfield Shares, IsoEnergy is not aware of any material approval, consent or other action by any federal, provincial, state or foreign government or any administrative or regulatory agency that would be required to be obtained in order to complete the Arrangement, as applicable. In the event that any such approvals or consents are determined to be required, such approvals or consents will be sought. Any such additional requirements could delay the Effective Date or prevent the completion of the Arrangement. While there can be no assurance that any regulatory consents or approvals that are determined to be required will be obtained, IsoEnergy currently anticipates that any such consents and approvals that are determined to be required will have been obtained or otherwise resolved by the Effective Date, as applicable.

 

Court Approvals

At the hearing of the application for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the procedural and substantive fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement, either as proposed or amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit.

The Share Consolidation

 

Details of the Share Consolidation

 

The IsoEnergy Board believes that it may be in the best interests of IsoEnergy and the IsoEnergy Shareholders to consolidate the number of IsoEnergy Shares in order to raise the per-share trading price of the IsoEnergy Shares to facilitate a potential future listing of the IsoEnergy Shares on a recognized U.S. stock exchange. Although IsoEnergy has not applied to list the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Stock Exchange as at the date hereof, and there can be no assurance that it will complete such an application or receive approval to complete a listing of the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Exchange in the future, IsoEnergy is considering applying to list the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Exchange in the near-term. IsoEnergy believes that pursuing a listing on a U.S. Exchange will provide the Company with, among other things, access to a broader investor audience, increased sources of potential capital, improved trading liquidity in the IsoEnergy Shares and increased research coverage from U.S. investment banks.

 

At the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Share Consolidation Resolution, to authorize an amendment to IsoEnergy’s articles to provide that: (i) the authorized capital of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on the basis of one Post-Consolidation Share for a number of pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares to be determined within a range of whole numbers between 2 and 5 outstanding pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the IsoEnergy Board in its sole discretion, at anytime prior to December 2, 2025; and (ii) any fractional Post-Consolidation Shares arising from the Share Consolidation will be deemed to have been tendered by their registered owner to IsoEnergy for cancellation for no consideration.

 

Assuming the Share Consolidation Resolution is approved at the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy would issue a press release announcing the specific consolidation ratio and the effective date of the Share Consolidation prior to filing Articles of Amendment with the Director under the OBCA to effect the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation would also be subject to the approval of the TSX.

The IsoEnergy Meeting will be held in a virtual-only format, that will allow Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders to participate online in real time via live webcast by logging in at meetnow.global/M9YNP66 starting at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 3, 2024, subject to any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

 

IsoEnergy is conducting the IsoEnergy Meeting as a virtual meeting in order to provide IsoEnergy Shareholders with an equal opportunity to attend and participate at the IsoEnergy Meeting, regardless of their geographic location or particular constraints or circumstances. Just as they would be at an in-person meeting, registered IsoEnergy Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to virtually attend the IsoEnergy Meeting, submit questions and vote online.

 

Once logged in, Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to listen to a live webcast of the IsoEnergy Meeting, ask questions online and submit votes in real time. Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder will be able to virtually attend the IsoEnergy Meeting as guests, but guests will not be able to vote or ask questions at the IsoEnergy Meeting. IsoEnergy Shareholders will not be able to physically attend the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

Record Date

 

The Record Date for determining the IsoEnergy Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting is October 21, 2024. Only IsoEnergy Shareholders of record as of the close of business (Toronto time) on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting. The failure of any IsoEnergy Shareholder who was an IsoEnergy Shareholder on the Record Date to receive notice of the IsoEnergy Meeting does not deprive the IsoEnergy Shareholder of the right to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

To encourage your vote participation, you may be contacted by directors, officers, employees, consultants or agents of IsoEnergy by telephone, email, internet, facsimile, in person or by other means of communication, or by IsoEnergy’s proxy solicitation agent and shareholder communications advisor, Laurel Hill, who has been engaged by IsoEnergy in connection with the IsoEnergy Meeting. The total cost of soliciting proxies and mailing the IsoEnergy Meeting Materials to IsoEnergy Shareholders will be borne by IsoEnergy.

 

In connection with communicating with IsoEnergy Shareholders in respect of the Arrangement, Laurel Hill is expected to receive a fee of $40,000 for services provided, plus an amount per call to retail holders of IsoEnergy Shares as well as the reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

 

IsoEnergy may use Broadridge’s QuickVote™ service to assist eligible NOBOs with voting their IsoEnergy Shares over the telephone. Certain NOBOs may be contacted by Laurel Hill, which is soliciting proxies on behalf of the management of IsoEnergy, to conveniently obtain voting instructions directly over the telephone.

 

IsoEnergy will not be relying on the notice-and-access delivery procedures outlined in NI 54-101 to distribute copies of proxy-related materials in connection with the IsoEnergy Meeting. IsoEnergy does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward to copies of the IsoEnergy Meeting Materials to OBOs.

How to Vote

 

How you can vote depends on whether you are a Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder or a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder. The different voting options are summarized below, and more details are provided in the following sections. Please follow the appropriate voting option based on whether you are a Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder or a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder. In order to streamline the virtual meeting process, the Company encourages IsoEnergy Shareholders to vote in advance of the IsoEnergy Meeting using the form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, mailed to them.

 

Voting by Proxyholder

 

Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders

 

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are executive officers of IsoEnergy and have agreed to act as the IsoEnergy proxyholders. You have the right to appoint someone other than the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy, who need not be an IsoEnergy Shareholder, to attend and act on your behalf at the IsoEnergy Meeting by printing the name of the person you want in the blank space provided or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

 

On any ballot, the proxyholders named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote, withhold from voting or vote against (as applicable), your IsoEnergy Shares in accordance with your instructions. In respect of any matter for which a choice is not specified, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote at their own discretion, except where management recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote in favour of a matter, in which case the nominees will vote FOR the approval of the Share Issuance Resolution and FOR the approval of the Share Consolidation Resolution.

 

The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the IsoEnergy Meeting. As of the date of this Circular, management of IsoEnergy knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter that may come before the IsoEnergy Meeting. However, if any amendment, variation or other matter should properly come before the IsoEnergy Meeting, the nominees named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote thereon in accordance with the nominee’s best judgment or as stated above.

 

A form of proxy will not be valid unless it is signed by the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder, or by the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder’s attorney with proof that they are authorized to sign. If you represent a Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder that is a corporation, your proxy should have the seal of the corporation, if applicable, and must be executed by an officer or an attorney, authorized in writing. If you execute a proxy as an attorney for an individual Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder, or as an officer or attorney of a Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder that is a corporation, you must include the original or notarized copy of the written authorization for the officer or attorney with your proxy form.

 

If you are voting by proxy, send your completed proxy to IsoEnergy’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”) by mail to Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by toll free fax at 1-866-249-7775 in North America. You may also vote on the internet or by phone by following the instructions set out in the form of proxy. Computershare must receive your proxy by 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on November 29, 2024, or 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned or postponed IsoEnergy Meeting (the “Proxy Deadline”). Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chair of the IsoEnergy Meeting in his or her discretion.

 

 53 

 

 

If you appoint someone other than the IsoEnergy nominees to be your proxyholder, that person must virtually attend and vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting for your vote to be counted. If you are appointing someone other than the IsoEnergy nominees as your proxy, you must register them with Computershare before the Proxy Deadline. If you do not register your proxyholder before the Proxy Deadline, they will not receive an invitation code to participate at the IsoEnergy Meeting. See “Appointment of Third-Party as Proxy” below for additional information on how Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders can appoint someone other than the IsoEnergy nominees as their proxyholder and register such proxyholder with Computershare.

 

Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders

 

Most IsoEnergy Shareholders are Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders because the IsoEnergy Shares they own are not registered in their name but are registered in the name of an Intermediary such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, trustee or administrator, of a self-administered RRSP, RRIF, or RESP or a clearing agency (such as CDS) of which the Intermediary is a participant.

 

Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders who have not objected to their intermediary disclosing certain ownership information about themselves to IsoEnergy are referred to as “NOBOs”. Those Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders who have objected to their Intermediary disclosing ownership information about themselves to IsoEnergy are referred to as “OBOs”.

 

In accordance with the requirements of NI 54-101, IsoEnergy has elected to distribute copies of the Notice of Meeting and this Circular (collectively, the “IsoEnergy Meeting Materials”) indirectly through intermediaries to the NOBOs and OBOs. Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to whom IsoEnergy Meeting Materials have been sent to seek voting instructions from Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed to ensure that the Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder’s IsoEnergy Shares are voted at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge mails a scannable voting instruction form (“VIF”), instead of the form of proxy. Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders are requested to complete and return the VIF to Broadridge. Alternatively, Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders can call a toll-free telephone number or access Broadridge’s dedicated voting website: www.proxyvote.com. Certain NOBOs may be contacted by Laurel Hill to conveniently obtain a vote directly over the telephone.

 

The VIF must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the IsoEnergy Meeting to have the IsoEnergy Shares voted. Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders who receive forms of proxies or voting materials from organizations other than Broadridge should complete and return such forms of proxies or voting materials in accordance with the instructions on such materials to properly vote their IsoEnergy Shares at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

IsoEnergy does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward to OBOs under 54-101 the IsoEnergy Meeting Materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary, and an OBO will not receive the materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the cost of delivery.

 

Although Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders may not be recognized directly at the IsoEnergy Meeting for the purpose of voting IsoEnergy Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder may attend the IsoEnergy Meeting as a proxyholder for an IsoEnergy Shareholder and vote IsoEnergy Shares in that capacity. Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders who wish to virtually attend the IsoEnergy Meeting and indirectly vote their IsoEnergy Shares as proxyholder for the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder should contact their Intermediary well in advance of the IsoEnergy Meeting to determine the steps necessary to permit them to indirectly vote their IsoEnergy Shares as a proxyholder.

 

 54 

 

 

If you are a Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholder and wish to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting, you have to insert your own name in the blank space provided on the form of proxy or voting instruction form sent to you by your Intermediary, follow the applicable instructions provided by your Intermediary and register yourself as your proxyholder, as described below under the heading “Appointment of Third-Party as Proxy”.

BUSINESS OF THE ISOENERGY MEETING

 

Share Issuance Resolution

 

As set out in the Notice of Meeting, at the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Share Issuance Resolution. The Arrangement, the Plan of Arrangement and the terms of the Arrangement Agreement are summarized in this Circular. See “The Arrangement” and “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement”. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, which has been filed by IsoEnergy under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

 

If completed, the Arrangement will result in IsoEnergy acquiring all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares on the Effective Date. Anfield will become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of IsoEnergy and IsoEnergy will continue the operations of IsoEnergy and Anfield on a combined basis. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, at the Effective Time, Anfield Shareholders (excluding Dissenting Anfield Shareholders and IsoEnergy and its affiliates) will receive 0.031 of an IsoEnergy Share for each Anfield Share held at the Effective Time. In addition, pursuant to the Arrangement, holders of Anfield Options immediately prior to the Effective Time will receive Replacement Options which entitle the holders thereof to receive IsoEnergy Shares on exercise thereof, and each Anfield Warrant will, following the Effective Time, entitle the holder thereof to receive, for the same aggregate consideration, the number of IsoEnergy Shares that such Anfield Warrantholder would have been entitled to receive if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Anfield Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Anfield Warrants.

 

As of October 30, 2024, there were 1,032,088,633 Anfield Shares issued and outstanding, up to 340,163,472 Anfield Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Anfield Warrants, and up to 91,467,828 Anfield Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Anfield Options. If the maximum number of Anfield Shares are issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (as a result of the exercise of outstanding Anfield Options and Anfield Warrants), IsoEnergy expects to issue approximately 46,282,822 IsoEnergy Shares to Anfield Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement, based on the number of Anfield Securities outstanding as of October 30, 2024, representing approximately 25.88% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares as of October 30, 2024. The 46,282,822 IsoEnergy Shares issuable consists of: (i) up to 31,994,747 IsoEnergy Shares issuable to Anfield Shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement; (ii) up to 2,835,502 IsoEnergy Shares issuable upon the exercise of Replacement Options to be issued in exchange for Anfield options; (iii) up to 10,545,067 IsoEnergy Shares issuable upon the exercise Anfield Warrants to be assumed by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement, and (iv) 907,506 IsoEnergy Shares included as a 2% buffer to account for clerical and administrative matters.

 

Pursuant to Section 611(c) of the TSX Company Manual, the TSX requires shareholder approval in circumstances where the number of securities issued or issuable in connection with an acquisition will result in the issuance of 25% or more of an issuer’s outstanding securities on a non-diluted basis. In order to be effective, the Share Issuance Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast by IsoEnergy Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting. The full text of the Share Issuance Resolution is included as “Appendix A – Share Issuance Resolution” attached to this Circular. The TSX will generally not require further security holder approval for the issuance of up to an additional 11,570,705 IsoEnergy Shares, such number being 25% of the number of IsoEnergy Shares approved by IsoEnergy Shareholders for the Arrangement.

 

If the Share Issuance Resolution is not approved by the requisite majority of IsoEnergy Shareholders at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Arrangement cannot be completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Issuance Resolution authorizes the IsoEnergy Board, without further notice to or approval of the IsoEnergy Shareholders, to revoke the Share Issuance Resolution at any time prior to the Effective Time if they decide not to proceed with the Arrangement.

 

 59 

 

 

If the Share Issuance Resolution is approved at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Anfield Meeting, the Final Order approving the Arrangement is issued by the Court and the applicable conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, the Arrangement will take effect commencing and effective as at the Effective Time, which is expected to be at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Effective Date, which is expected to occur at the during December 2024.

 

The IsoEnergy Board has approved the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, has unanimously determined that the Arrangement is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and unanimously recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution. See “The Arrangement – Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”.

 

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

Share Consolidation

 

As set out in the Notice of Meeting, at the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the Share Consolidation Resolution, to authorize an amendment to IsoEnergy’s articles to provide that: (i) the authorized capital of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on the basis of one Post-Consolidation Share for a number of pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares to be determined within a range of whole numbers between 2 and 5 outstanding pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the IsoEnergy Board in its sole discretion, at anytime prior to December 2, 2025 (the “Share Consolidation”); and (ii) any fractional Post-Consolidation Shares arising from the Share Consolidation will be deemed to have been tendered by their registered owner to IsoEnergy for cancellation for no consideration.

 

If the Share Consolidation Resolution is approved at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Share Consolidation would only be implemented, if at all, upon a determination by the IsoEnergy Board that it is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and the IsoEnergy Shareholders. IsoEnergy would issue a press release announcing the specific consolidation ratio and the effective date of the Share Consolidation prior to filing Articles of Amendment with the Director under the OBCA to effect the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation would also be subject to the approval of the TSX. The IsoEnergy Board’s selection of the specific consolidation ratio will be based primarily on the then current and historical prices of the IsoEnergy Shares and expected stability of that price.

 

Notwithstanding approval of the proposed Share Consolidation Resolution, the IsoEnergy Board, in its sole discretion, may revoke the Share Consolidation Resolution and abandon the Share Consolidation without further approval or action by or prior notice to IsoEnergy Shareholders. If the IsoEnergy Board does not implement the Share Consolidation prior to December 2, 2025, the authority granted by the Share Consolidation Resolution on these terms would lapse and be of no further force or effect.

 

Principal Reasons for Effecting the Consolidation

 

The IsoEnergy Board believes that it may be in the best interests of IsoEnergy and the IsoEnergy Shareholders to consolidate the number of IsoEnergy Shares in order to raise the per-share trading price of the IsoEnergy Shares with a view to exceeding any minimum trading price requirements in connection with a potential future listing of the IsoEnergy Shares on a recognized U.S. stock exchange (a “U.S. Exchange”). Although IsoEnergy has not applied to list the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Stock Exchange as at the date hereof, and there can be no assurance that it will complete such an application or receive approval to complete a listing of the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Exchange in the future, IsoEnergy is considering applying to list the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Exchange in the near-term. IsoEnergy believes that pursuing a listing on a U.S. Exchange will provide the Company with, among other things, access to a broader investor audience, increased sources of potential capital, improved trading liquidity in the IsoEnergy Shares and increased research coverage from U.S. investment banks. Furthermore, establishing a higher market price could also enhance the marketability of the Post-Consolidation Shares by potentially broadening the pool of investors that may consider investing in IsoEnergy, including institutional and other investors whose internal investment policies prohibit or discourage them from purchasing shares trading below a certain minimum price.

Principal Effects of the Consolidation

 

If the Share Consolidation is implemented, its principal effect will be to proportionately decrease the number of issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares by a factor equal to the consolidation ratio selected by the IsoEnergy Board. For illustrative purposes only, the following table sets forth, based on the number of IsoEnergy Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, the number of Post-Consolidation Shares that would be issued and outstanding (disregarding any resulting fractional Post-Consolidation Shares and subject to any issuances occurring after such date) following the implementation of the Share Consolidation, at various consolidation ratios:

 

Consolidation Ratio Outstanding Post-Consolidation Shares
one Post-Consolidation Share for every 2 pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares 89,404,100
one Post-Consolidation Share for every 5 pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares 35,761,640

 

Note:

 

1.Based on 178,808,200 issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares as of the Record Date.

 

IsoEnergy does not expect the Share Consolidation itself to have any economic effect on holders of IsoEnergy Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable to acquire IsoEnergy Shares, except to the extent the Share Consolidation will result in fractional Post-Consolidation Shares. See “No Fractional Shares” below.

 

Voting rights and other rights of the holders of IsoEnergy Shares prior to the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not be affected by the Share Consolidation, other than as a result of the creation and disposition of fractional Post-Consolidation Shares as described below. The exercise or conversion price and the number of IsoEnergy Shares issuable under any outstanding convertible securities of IsoEnergy, including outstanding IsoEnergy Options and Debentures, will be adjusted in accordance with their respective terms on the same basis as the Share Consolidation.

 

No Fractional Shares

 

No fractional Post-Consolidation Shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation and no cash will be paid in lieu of fractional Post-Consolidation Shares. In the event that an IsoEnergy Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Post-Consolidation Share upon the completion of the Share Consolidation, such fractional Post-Consolidation Share will be deemed to have been tendered by its registered owner to IsoEnergy for cancellation for no consideration.

 

 61 

 

 

No Dissent Rights

 

IsoEnergy Shareholders are not entitled to exercise any statutory dissent rights with respect to the Share Consolidation.

 

Accounting Consequences

 

If the Share Consolidation is implemented, net income or loss per share, and other per share amounts, will be increased because there will be fewer common shares of IsoEnergy issued and outstanding. In future financial statements, net income or loss per share and other per share amounts for periods ending before the Share Consolidation took effect would be recast to give retroactive effect to the Share Consolidation.

 

TSX Approval

 

Assuming IsoEnergy Shareholders approve the Share Consolidation Resolution at the IsoEnergy Meeting, and assuming that the IsoEnergy Board determines to proceed with the Share Consolidation, the Share Consolidation will be subject to acceptance by the TSX, and confirmation that, on a post-Share Consolidation basis, IsoEnergy would continue to meet all of the TSX’s continued listing requirements. If the TSX does not accept the Share Consolidation, IsoEnergy will not proceed with the Share Consolidation.

 

Effect on Share Certificates

 

If the Share Consolidation is approved by IsoEnergy Shareholders and subsequently implemented by the IsoEnergy Board, those Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders who will hold at least one Post-Consolidation Share will be required to exchange their share certificates representing pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares for share certificates or DRS Statements representing Post-Consolidation Shares.

 

If the Share Consolidation Resolution is implemented, IsoEnergy (or its transfer agent) will mail to each Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder a letter of transmittal in connection with the Share Consolidation. Each Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder must complete and sign a letter of transmittal after the Share Consolidation takes effect. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender to the transfer agent the certificate(s) representing the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder’s pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares. The transfer agent will send to each Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder who follows the instructions provided in the letter of transmittal a share certificate or DRS Statement representing the number of Post-Consolidation Shares to which the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder is entitled. Beneficial IsoEnergy Shareholders who hold their IsoEnergy Shares through Intermediaries and who have questions regarding how the Share Consolidation will be processed should contact their Intermediaries with respect to the Share Consolidation as Intermediaries may have different procedures for processing a consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Company for Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders.

 

Until surrendered to the transfer agent, each share certificate representing pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Post-Consolidation Shares to which the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder is entitled as a result of the Share Consolidation. No delivery of a new share certificate or DRS Statement to a IsoEnergy Shareholder will be made until the IsoEnergy Shareholder surrenders the certificates representing its pre-consolidation IsoEnergy Shares along with the letter of transmittal to the Company’s transfer agent in the manner detailed herein.

 

Any Registered IsoEnergy Shareholder whose old certificate(s) have been lost, destroyed or stolen will be entitled to a replacement share certificate only after complying with the requirements that IsoEnergy and its transfer agent customarily apply in connection with lost, stolen or destroyed certificates.

 

 62 

 

 

The method chosen for delivery of share certificates and letters of transmittal to the Company’s transfer agent is the responsibility of the Registered IsoEnergy Shareholders and neither the transfer agent nor the Company will have any liability in respect of share certificates and/or letters of transmittal which are not actually received by the transfer agent.

 

REGISTERED ISOENERGY SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NEITHER DESTROY NOR SUBMIT ANY SHARE CERTIFICATE UNTIL HAVING RECEIVED A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

 

Risk Factors Associated with the Share Consolidation

 

Reducing the number of issued and outstanding common shares of IsoEnergy through the Share Consolidation is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share price. However, the market price of the Post-Consolidation Shares following the Share Consolidation will also be affected by the Company’s financial and operational results, its financial position, including its liquidity and capital resources, the development of its operations, industry conditions, the market’s perception of the Company’s business and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Post-Consolidation Shares will increase following the implementation of the Share Consolidation or that the Company will be able to satisfy the minimum trading price requirements of the applicable U.S. Exchange or that it would enable IsoEnergy to compete or maintain a listing of the IsoEnergy Shares on a U.S. Exchange. Further there can be no assurances that IsoEnergy will be able to satisfy the other listing requirements of an applicable U.S. Exchange.

 

The market price of the Post-Consolidation Shares immediately following the implementation of the Share Consolidation is expected to be approximately equal to the market price of the IsoEnergy Shares prior to the implementation of such consolidation multiplied by the applicable consolidation ratio; however, there can be no assurance that the anticipated market price immediately following the implementation of the Share Consolidation will be realized or, if realized, will be sustained. There is a risk that the total market capitalization of the Post-Consolidation Shares (the market price of the Post-Consolidation Shares multiplied by the number of Post-Consolidation Shares outstanding) after the implementation the Share Consolidation may be lower than the total market capitalization of the IsoEnergy Shares prior to the implementation of the Share Consolidation.

 

If the Share Consolidation is implemented and the market price of the Post-Consolidation Shares (adjusted to reflect the applicable consolidation ratio) declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company’s overall market capitalization may be greater than would have occurred if the Share Consolidation had not been implemented. Both the total market capitalization of IsoEnergy and the adjusted market price of the Post-Consolidation Shares following the Share Consolidation may be lower than they were before the Share Consolidation took effect. The reduced number of Post-Consolidation Shares that would be outstanding after the Share Consolidation is implemented could also adversely affect the liquidity of the Post-Consolidation Shares.

 

The Share Consolidation may result in some shareholders owning “odd lots” on a post-consolidation basis. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, or may attract greater transaction costs per share to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots.”

 

Tax Considerations

 

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF ANY CANADIAN OR U.S. FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND/OR OTHER TAX LAWS.

THE ARRANGEMENT

 

Details of the Arrangement

 

On October 1, 2024, IsoEnergy and Anfield entered into the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, IsoEnergy agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares. The Arrangement will be effected pursuant to a court-approved Plan of Arrangement under the BCBCA pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Interim Order and the Final Order. Subject to receipt of the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the Final Order and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions, IsoEnergy will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares on the Effective Date. The Parties intend to rely upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereof with respect to the issuance of the Consideration Shares pursuant to the Arrangement.

 

If completed, the Arrangement will result in IsoEnergy acquiring all of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares on the Effective Date, and Anfield will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IsoEnergy and IsoEnergy will continue the operations of IsoEnergy and Anfield on a combined basis. Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, at the Effective Time, Anfield Shareholders will receive 0.031 of an IsoEnergy Share for each Anfield Share held at the Effective Time.

 

Following the completion of the Arrangement, Former IsoEnergy Shareholders are expected to own approximately 83.8%, and Former Anfield Shareholders are expected to own approximately 16.2%, of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on a fully-diluted in-the-money basis, in each case based on the number of securities of IsoEnergy and Anfield issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2024, the last trading day prior to the Announcement Date. For further information regarding IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement, see “Appendix E – Information Concerning IsoEnergy following Completion of the Arrangement” attached to this Circular.

 

Background to the Arrangement

 

The Arrangement Agreement is the result of arm’s length negotiations among representatives of IsoEnergy and Anfield and their respective legal and financial advisors, as more fully described herein.

 

The IsoEnergy Board, together with senior management, regularly reviews its overall corporate strategy and long-term strategic plan with the goal of enhancing shareholder value. In order to facilitate this review, the IsoEnergy Board occasionally engages external financial advisors to assist with its review and analysis of IsoEnergy’s various strategic alternatives and, in certain circumstances, IsoEnergy enters into confidentiality agreements as a prerequisite to engaging in strategic discussions and the sharing and receiving of information with third parties.

 

In the ordinary course of business IsoEnergy has had regular engagement with several industry peers for the purpose of seeking opportunities for collaboration, joint business development opportunities, asset acquisitions and divestitures and, in some circumstances, evaluation of more transformational strategic alternatives, including the potential for corporate-level combinations.

 

On January 17, 2024, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the IsoEnergy Board, IsoEnergy management delivered a presentation to the IsoEnergy Board including various opportunities for potential strategic acquisitions and divestitures as well as various combinations involving IsoEnergy, its assets or its mines. The presentation included various transaction alternatives, including a possible transaction with Anfield. Following extensive discussion, the IsoEnergy Board authorized IsoEnergy management to engage with Anfield regarding a potential transaction.

 

 65 

 

 

On January 18, 2024, Philip Williams, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of IsoEnergy, met with representatives of Canaccord Genuity to discuss a potential transaction with Anfield.

 

On January 26, 2024, Mr. Williams had a telephone call with Corey Dias, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Anfield, to discuss IsoEnergy’s interest in a potential transaction with Anfield, including a range of potential transaction structures ranging from asset-level transactions to a corporate-level combination.

 

On March 7, 2024, Mr. Williams and Mr. Dias met in Toronto to discuss the potential transaction.

 

On March 14, 2024, IsoEnergy delivered an initial non-binding indicative proposal to Anfield, with respect to a potential share-for-share exchange transaction involving IsoEnergy and Anfield. Between April 2024 and July 2024, the Parties and their financial advisors held various discussions regarding the terms of the transaction and alternative transaction structures. Updated versions of the proposal were exchanged between the Parties based on these discussions and the advice of their respective financial and legal advisors.

 

On May 28, 2024, at a regularly scheduled meeting of the IsoEnergy Board, IsoEnergy management provided an update on the status of ongoing discussions with Anfield regarding a potential transaction and discussed the merits, opportunities, and potential risks of a transaction with Anfield. Discussion ensued and the IsoEnergy Board instructed senior management to continue to engage with Anfield on the terms discussed.

 

On July 19, 2024, IsoEnergy and Anfield entered into a confidentiality agreement, which contained mutual confidentiality and standstill provisions for a two-year term, to enable the provision of non-public information and facilitate further discussion between the Parties. Following execution of the confidentiality agreement, the Parties opened their respective data rooms and began sharing detailed technical, financial and legal due diligence information with each other and their respective advisors.

 

Between July 29, 2024 and August 28, 2024, as part of its ongoing technical due diligence, Marty Tunney, Chief Operating Officer of IsoEnergy, and other technical advisors of IsoEnergy completed site visits to, among others, Anfield’s Shootaring Canyon Mill, Velvet Wood Project, Slick Rock Project and Juan Tafoya Marquez Canyon Project. Members of each Party’s senior management team, together with their technical, corporate development and finance teams met in September 2024 to discuss the proposed transaction, including technical and financial due diligence matters.

 

On August 1, 2024, the IsoEnergy Board met with members of IsoEnergy’s management and received an update on the status of ongoing discussions with Anfield and the status of due diligence. Management delivered a presentation to the IsoEnergy Board regarding the strategic and other merits of the proposed transaction, including the results of its initial financial review based on publicly available information. Following discussion, the IsoEnergy Board directed senior management to continue to engage in discussions with Anfield and to negotiate and finalize the non-binding proposal on the terms discussed.

 

On August 7, IsoEnergy and Anfield entered into a non-binding letter of intent with respect to the proposed transaction. Pursuant to the letter of intent, Anfield agreed to negotiate exclusively with IsoEnergy with respect to a potential transaction until September 3, 2024.

 

On August 14, 2024, IsoEnergy sent an initial draft of the Arrangement Agreement to Anfield for its review and comment. Between August 14, 2024 and October 1, 2024, the Parties and their respective financial and legal advisors, negotiated the terms of the Arrangement, the Bridge Loan and the related transaction documents.

 

 66 

 

 

On September 30, 2024, the IsoEnergy Board met via video conference with IsoEnergy’s senior management, together with representatives of Cassels and Canaccord Genuity, to review and consider the terms of the Arrangement. Representatives of IsoEnergy’s senior management delivered a presentation to the IsoEnergy Board regarding the strategic and other merits of the proposed transaction, including the results of its technical and financial due diligence review. Cassels reviewed the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and ancillary agreements to be entered into in connection with the Arrangement, and the IsoEnergy Board was provided with the opportunity to ask questions of IsoEnergy’s senior management and its legal and financial advisors. The IsoEnergy Board received an oral fairness opinion from Canaccord Genuity, that, as of September 30, 2024, and based upon and subject to the particular assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Share Consideration to be paid by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to IsoEnergy. After discussion and consideration, including a review of the transaction terms, the Canaccord Fairness Opinion and other relevant matters, the IsoEnergy Board unanimously determined that the Arrangement and entering into the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interest of IsoEnergy, unanimously approved IsoEnergy entering into the Arrangement Agreement and unanimously resolved to recommend that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote in favour of the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

Throughout the day and evening of October 1, 2024, IsoEnergy and Anfield, assisted by their respective legal and financial advisors, finalized the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and other transaction documents. On the evening of October 1, 2024, Canaccord Genuity confirmed by email that the conclusion reached in the Canaccord Fairness Opinion delivered orally to the IsoEnergy Board on September 30, 2024, remained valid as of October 1, 2024.

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield executed the Arrangement Agreement and the other ancillary agreements late in the evening on October 1, 2024 and jointly announced the Arrangement prior to markets opening on October 2, 2024.

 

Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board

 

The IsoEnergy Board, having undertaken a thorough review of, and having carefully considered the terms of the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement, and after consultation with representatives of IsoEnergy’s senior management, its financial and legal advisors and having received and taken into account the Canaccord Fairness Opinion and such other matters as it considered necessary and relevant, including the factors set out below under the heading “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”, unanimously determined that the Arrangement and the entering into of the Arrangement Agreement are in the best interests of IsoEnergy and authorized IsoEnergy to enter into the Arrangement Agreement and all related agreements. Accordingly, the IsoEnergy Board unanimously recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board

 

In reaching its conclusions and formulating its recommendation, the IsoEnergy Board consulted with IsoEnergy’s senior management and its legal and financial advisors. The IsoEnergy Board also reviewed a significant amount of technical, financial and operational information relating to IsoEnergy and Anfield and considered a number of factors and reasons, including those listed below. The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

·Expected Expansion of Near-Term U.S. Uranium Production Capacity The combined portfolio (the “Combined Portfolio”) of permitted past-producing mines and development projects in the Western U.S. is expected to provide IsoEnergy with substantial increased uranium production potential in the short, medium and long term.

 

·Ownership of Shootaring Canyon Mill – Completion of the Arrangement secures ownership of the Shootaring Canyon Mill, one of only three permitted conventional uranium mills in the U.S., and which is located adjacent to IsoEnergy’s Tony M Mine. A production reactivation plan has been submitted to the UDEQ for the Shootaring Canyon Mill. The plan addresses the updating of the mill's radioactive materials licence from its current standby status to operational status as well as to increase throughput from 750 stpd to 1,000 stpd and expand licensed annual production capacity from 1 million lbs U₃O₈ to 3 million lbs U₃O₈. IsoEnergy has existing toll-milling agreements in place with Energy Fuels for its White Mesa Mill to provide additional processing flexibility for certain of IsoEnergy’s mines.

 

 67 

 

 

·Complimentary Project Portfolio Provides Immediate Operational Synergies Benefits from the proximity of the Combined Portfolio in Utah and Colorado are expected to include, reduced transportation costs, increased operational flexibility for mining and processing, reduction in G&A on a per pound basis, and risk diversification through multiple production sources.

 

·Aligned with Goal of Building a Multi-Asset Uranium Producer in Tier-One Jurisdictions – Beyond the impressive Combined Portfolio in the U.S., the pro forma company will have a robust pipeline of development and exploration-stage projects in tier-one uranium jurisdictions, including the world’s highest grade published indicated uranium mineral resource in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.

 

·Well-Timed to Capitalize on Strong Momentum in the Nuclear Industry – Recent industry headlines relating to increasing demand and support for nuclear power are expected to drive uranium demand, and by extension, prices, coinciding with expected production and development of the Combined Portfolio.

 

·Enhanced Capital Markets Profile with Strong Shareholder Base. The Arrangement is expected to provide IsoEnergy with greater access to capital and trading liquidity, strengthened position for future M&A, expanded research coverage and increased attractiveness among investors and utilities. Additionally, the pro forma company will be backed by corporate and institutional investors of both companies, including, NexGen, Mega Uranium, enCore Energy, Energy Fuels and Uranium ETFs.

 

·Business Climate and Review of Strategic Alternatives. The IsoEnergy Board has periodically reviewed a range of strategic alternatives for creating shareholder value, and in the ordinary course of business IsoEnergy has had regular engagement with several industry peers in that regard, including other potential transactions. The IsoEnergy Board consulted with its financial and legal advisors, and reviewed the current and prospective business climate in the uranium industry and other strategic opportunities reasonably available to IsoEnergy, including continuation as an independent enterprise, potential acquisitions and various combinations of IsoEnergy or its mineral properties by way of joint venture or otherwise, in each case taking into account the potential benefits, risks and uncertainties associated with those other opportunities. IsoEnergy believes that following completion of the Arrangement, it will be better positioned to continue its strategy of pursuing growth through M&A, while focusing on its core assets in the Athabasca Basin and the U.S.

 

·Other Factors. The IsoEnergy Board also carefully considered the Arrangement with reference to current economic, industry, and market trends affecting each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, information concerning mineral reserves and mineral resources, business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition, operating results and prospects of each of IsoEnergy and Anfield, the historical trading prices of the IsoEnergy Shares and the Anfield Shares and taking into account the results of IsoEnergy’s due diligence review of Anfield and its properties.

 

 68 

 

 

In making its determinations and recommendations, the IsoEnergy Board also observed that a number of procedural safeguards were in place and present to permit the IsoEnergy Board to protect the interests of IsoEnergy, IsoEnergy Shareholders and other IsoEnergy stakeholders. These procedural safeguards include, among others:

 

·Canaccord Fairness Opinion. The IsoEnergy Board received the Canaccord Fairness Opinion from Canaccord Genuity to the effect that, as of October 1, 2024, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set out therein, the Share Consideration to be paid by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to IsoEnergy. See “Appendix F – Canaccord Fairness Opinion”.

 

·Arm’s length transaction. The Arrangement Agreement is the result of comprehensive arm’s length negotiations. The IsoEnergy Board took an active role in negotiating the materials terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement Agreement includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the judgment of the IsoEnergy Board.

 

·Support of Board, Management Team and Significant Shareholders. All of the directors and executive management of IsoEnergy, and certain significant shareholders of IsoEnergy, have entered into support and voting agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote in favour of the Arrangement.

 

·Conduct of IsoEnergy’s business. The IsoEnergy Board believes that the restrictions imposed on IsoEnergy’s business and operations during the pendency of the Arrangement are reasonable and not unduly burdensome.

 

·Shareholder Approval. The Share Issuance Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by IsoEnergy Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

The IsoEnergy Board also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors relating to the Arrangement including but not limited to those matters described under the heading “Risk Factors”. The IsoEnergy Board believes that, overall, the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement to IsoEnergy outweigh these risks and negative factors.

 

The foregoing summary of the information and factors considered by the IsoEnergy Board in reaching its determination and recommendation is not intended to be exhaustive but includes the material information and factors considered by the IsoEnergy Board in its consideration of the Arrangement. In view of the wide variety of factors and the amount of information considered in connection with the IsoEnergy Board’s evaluation of the Arrangement and the complexity of these matters, the IsoEnergy Board did not find it practicable to, and did not quantify or otherwise attempt to assign any relative weight to these factors. In addition, individual members of the IsoEnergy Board may have given different weights to different factors.

 

Canaccord Fairness Opinion

 

IsoEnergy retained Canaccord Genuity to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Arrangement. As part of this mandate, Canaccord Genuity was requested to provide the IsoEnergy Board with its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Share Consideration to be paid by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement, to IsoEnergy.

 

In connection with the Arrangement, Canaccord Genuity provided the IsoEnergy Board with an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, that, on the basis of and subject to the particular assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, Canaccord Genuity is of the opinion that, as of October 1, 2024, the Share Consideration to be paid by IsoEnergy pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to IsoEnergy.

 

 69 

 

 

The full text of the Canaccord Fairness Opinion, which sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, matters considered, procedures followed and limitations and qualifications in connection with the Canaccord Fairness Opinion, is included as “Appendix F – Canaccord Fairness Opinion” attached to this Circular. This summary of the Canaccord Fairness Opinion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the opinion and IsoEnergy Shareholders are urged to, and should, read the Canaccord Fairness Opinion in its entirety.

 

The Canaccord Fairness Opinion was prepared at the request of and for the information and assistance of the IsoEnergy Board in connection with its consideration of the Arrangement. The Canaccord Fairness Opinion does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Arrangement or the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to other transactions or business strategies that might be available to IsoEnergy. The Canaccord Fairness Opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to whether or not IsoEnergy Shareholders should vote in favour of the Share Issuance Resolution or any other matter. The Canaccord Fairness Opinion is one of a number of factors taken into account by the IsoEnergy Board in approving the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, determining that the Arrangement is in the best interests of IsoEnergy and unanimously recommending that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

Canaccord Genuity was engaged by IsoEnergy to provide IsoEnergy with financial advisory services in connection with the Arrangement, including advice and assistance to the IsoEnergy Board in evaluating the Arrangement. Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the Canaccord Genuity, dated September 30, 2024, IsoEnergy agreed to pay Canaccord Genuity a fixed fee for rendering its opinion, no part of which is contingent upon the opinion being favourable or upon completion of the Arrangement or any alternative transaction, and an additional fee for its services in connection with the Arrangement, which is contingent upon the completion of the Arrangement. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed and a break-up fee or termination fee is paid to IsoEnergy, IsoEnergy has agreed to pay Canaccord Genuity a portion of such fee. IsoEnergy has also agreed to reimburse Canaccord Genuity for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to indemnify Canaccord Genuity in certain circumstances. Neither Canaccord Genuity nor any of its affiliates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as such terms are defined in applicable Canadian Securities Laws) of IsoEnergy or Anfield.

 

Description of the Plan of Arrangement

 

The following description of the Plan of Arrangement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan of Arrangement, which is attached as Schedule A to the Arrangement Agreement, which has been filed by IsoEnergy on its SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

 

If the Share Issuance Resolution is approved at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Anfield Meeting, the Final Order is issued by the Court and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, the Arrangement will take effect commencing and effective as at the Effective Time, which is expected to be at 12:01 a.m. (Vancouver time) on the Effective Date, which is expected to occur in December 2024. Commencing and effective as of the Effective Time on the Effective Date, each of the events set out below will occur and will be deemed to occur sequentially in the following order without any further authorization, act or formality of or by Anfield, IsoEnergy, or any other person:

 

(a)each Anfield Share held by a Dissenting Anfield Shareholder will be, and will be deemed to be, transferred by the holder thereof, free and clear of all Liens, to IsoEnergy in consideration for a debt claim against IsoEnergy for an amount as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement, and: (i) such Dissenting Anfield Shareholder will cease to be the holder of each such Anfield Share or to have any rights as an Anfield Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value for each such Anfield Share in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement; and (ii) the name of such Dissenting Anfield Shareholder will be removed from the register of the Anfield Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of Anfield;

 

 70 

 

 

(b)each Anfield Share (excluding any Anfield Shares held by a Dissenting Anfield Shareholder) will be, and will be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, free and clear of all Liens, to IsoEnergy and, in exchange therefor, IsoEnergy will issue the Share Consideration for each Anfield Share, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement, and: (i) the holders of such Anfield Shares will cease to be the holders of such Anfield Shares and to have any rights as holders of such Anfield Shares, other than the right to be issued the Share Consideration by IsoEnergy in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; (ii) such holders’ names will be removed from the register of the Anfield Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Anfield; and (iii) IsoEnergy will be, and shall be deemed to be, the transferee of such Anfield Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and will be entered in the register of the Anfield Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Anfield as the holder of such Anfield Shares; and

 

(c)each Anfield Option outstanding at the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be deemed to be vested to the fullest extent, will cease to represent an option or other right to acquire Anfield Shares and shall be exchanged in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement for an option issued in accordance with the IsoEnergy LTIP (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from IsoEnergy the number of IsoEnergy Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to: (i) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (ii) the number of Anfield Shares subject to such Anfield Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, at an exercise price per IsoEnergy Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per Anfield Share otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Anfield Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Except as set out above, all terms and conditions of such Replacement Option, including conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the Anfield Option so exchanged, and any document evidencing an Anfield Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Option; provided that, it is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act (and any corresponding provision of provincial tax legislation) shall apply to such exchange of a Anfield Option for a Replacement Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Replacement Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of a Replacement Option exceeds the Anfield Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Anfield Option exchanged therefor, the exercise price per IsoEnergy Share of such Replacement Option will be increased accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time by the minimum amount necessary to ensure that the Replacement Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Replacement Option does not exceed the Anfield Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Anfield Option exchanged therefor.

 

If completed, the Arrangement will result in the issuance, at the Effective Time, of 0.031 of an IsoEnergy Share for each Anfield Share held by former Anfield Shareholders (excluding Dissenting Anfield Shareholders) at the Effective Time. Following the completion of the Arrangement, Former IsoEnergy Shareholders are expected to own approximately 83.8%, and Former Anfield Shareholders are expected to own approximately 16.2% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares on a fully-diluted in-the-money basis, in each case based on the number of securities of IsoEnergy and Anfield issued and outstanding as of October 1, 2024, the last trading day prior to the Announcement Date.

 

 71 

 

 

Anfield Warrants

 

In accordance with the terms of each of the Anfield Warrants, each Anfield Warrantholder will, upon the exercise of its Anfield Warrants, be entitled to receive and will accept for the same aggregate consideration, upon such exercise, in lieu of the number of Anfield Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Anfield Warrants, the aggregate number of IsoEnergy Shares that such holder would have been entitled to be issued and receive if, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder had been the registered holder of the number of Anfield Shares to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of such Anfield Warrants.

 

Each Anfield Warrant shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the applicable warrant indenture or certificate, subject to any supplemental documents to be entered into or issued by IsoEnergy and Anfield to Anfield Warrantholders to facilitate the exercise of the Anfield Warrants and the payment of the corresponding exercise price thereof.

 

Timing for Completion of the Arrangement

 

Subject to the provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, the Arrangement will become effective at the Effective Time on the Effective Date, being the date upon which all of the conditions to completion of the Arrangement as set out in the Arrangement Agreement (excluding any conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, and all documents agreed to be delivered thereunder have been delivered to the satisfaction of the recipient, acting reasonably.

 

The Effective Date will be the date upon which IsoEnergy and Anfield agree in writing, or in the absence of such agreement, three Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to completion of the Arrangement as set out in the Arrangement Agreement (excluding any conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions). If the IsoEnergy Meeting and Anfield Meeting are held as scheduled and are not adjourned and/or postponed and the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval is obtained and the Anfield Shareholder Approval is obtained, it is expected that Anfield will apply for the Final Order approving the Arrangement on December 6, 2024. If the Final Order is obtained in a form and substance satisfactory to IsoEnergy and Anfield, and the applicable conditions to completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived by the applicable Party, the Parties expect the Effective Date to occur in December 2024, following the receipt of any required Regulatory Approvals or consents, including CFIUS Approval; however, it is not possible at this time to state with certainty when the Effective Date will occur as completion of the Arrangement may be delayed beyond this date if the conditions to completion of the Arrangement cannot be met on a timely basis. Subject to certain limitations, each Party may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Arrangement is not consummated by the Outside Date, which date can be unilaterally extended by a Party for up to an additional 60 days (in five to 15-day increments) if the only unsatisfied condition is the CFIUS Approval, or extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.

 

Although the objective of IsoEnergy and Anfield is to have the Effective Date occur as soon as reasonably practicable after the IsoEnergy Meeting and the Anfield Meeting, the Effective Date could be delayed for several reasons, including, but not limited to, any delay in obtaining any required Regulatory Approvals or consents, including CFIUS Approval. IsoEnergy or Anfield may determine not to complete the Arrangement without prior notice to, or action on the part of, IsoEnergy Shareholders or Anfield Shareholders. See “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement – Termination”.

Other than the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the CFIUS Approval, the Final Order, the necessary approval of the TSX for the listing of the IsoEnergy Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement, and the necessary approval of the TSXV for the delisting of the Anfield Shares, IsoEnergy is not aware of any material approval, consent or other action by any federal, provincial, state or foreign government or any administrative or regulatory agency that would be required to be obtained in order to complete the Arrangement, as applicable. In the event that any such approvals or consents are determined to be required, such approvals or consents will be sought. Any such additional requirements could delay the Effective Date or prevent the completion of the Arrangement. While there can be no assurance that any regulatory consents or approvals that are determined to be required will be obtained, IsoEnergy currently anticipates that any such consents and approvals that are determined to be required will have been obtained or otherwise resolved by the Effective Date, as applicable.

 

Shareholder Approvals

 

IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval

 

At the IsoEnergy Meeting, IsoEnergy Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, the Share Issuance Resolution, the full text of which is set out in Appendix A attached to this Circular.

 

In order to be effective, the Share Issuance Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast by IsoEnergy Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting. If the Share Issuance Resolution is not approved by the requisite majority of IsoEnergy Shareholders at the IsoEnergy Meeting, the Arrangement cannot be completed.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Issuance Resolution authorizes the IsoEnergy Board, without further notice to or approval of the IsoEnergy Shareholders, to revoke the Share Issuance Resolution at any time prior to the Effective Time if they decide not to proceed with the Arrangement.

 

The IsoEnergy Board has approved the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement and unanimously recommends that IsoEnergy Shareholders vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution. See “The Arrangement – Reasons for the Recommendation of the IsoEnergy Board”.

 

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Share Issuance Resolution.

 

Anfield Shareholder Approval

 

At the Anfield Meeting, Anfield Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass, the Arrangement Resolution. In order for the Arrangement to become effective, as provided in the Interim Order and by the BCBCA, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved, with or without variation, by the affirmative vote of: (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Anfield Shareholders, present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Anfield Meeting, and (ii) at least a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Anfield Shareholders, present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Anfield Meeting, excluding for the purposes of (ii) the votes for Anfield Shares held or controlled by certain interested persons as described in items (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of MI 61-101. If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved by the requisite majority of Anfield Shareholders at the Anfield Meeting, the Arrangement cannot be completed.

 

 73 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arrangement Resolution authorizes the Anfield Board, without further notice to or approval of the Anfield Shareholders, to amend the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, to the extent permitted by the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, and, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, to revoke the Arrangement Resolution at any time prior to the Effective Time if they decide not to proceed with the Arrangement.

 

Court Approvals

 

The Arrangement requires approval by the Court under Section 291 of the BCBCA. On October 31, 2024, Anfield obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the Anfield Meeting and other procedural matters and filed the Notice of Application for Final Order to approve the Arrangement.

 

Under the Arrangement Agreement, Anfield is required to seek the Final Order as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than two Business Days following the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Anfield Shareholders at the Anfield Meeting. The Court hearing in respect of the Final Order is expected to take place on or about December 6, 2024.

 

At the hearing of the application for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the procedural and substantive fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court has broad discretion under the BCBCA when making orders with respect to the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement, either as proposed or amended, in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit. Depending upon the nature of any required amendments, IsoEnergy and/or Anfield may determine not to proceed with the transactions contemplated in the Arrangement Agreement.

 

Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed that the Parties intend to rely on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof for the issuance of the Consideration Shares to Anfield Shareholders in exchange for their Anfield Shares, on the basis of the Final Order.

 

Regulatory Approvals

 

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, it is a condition precedent to completion of the Arrangement that CFIUS Approval has been obtained without the imposition by CFIUS of any Burdensome Condition. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Parties have also agreed to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or any third party in order to consummate the Arrangement, including the CFIUS Approval, and to discharge their respective obligations under the Arrangement Agreement or under applicable Laws in connection with the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement

 

See “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective”.

 

To the knowledge of the Parties, there are no filings, consents, waiting periods or approvals required to be made with, applicable to, or required to be received from any Governmental Authority prior to the Effective Date in connection with the Arrangement, except for the CFIUS Approval and the Court’s granting of the Final Order, which are each conditions to the completion of the Arrangement. It is also a condition to the completion of the Arrangement that the TSX will have conditionally approved or authorized the listing of the Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement. IsoEnergy has applied to list the Consideration Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement on the TSX and has received conditional approval from the TSX. Final approval of the TSX is conditional on the satisfaction by IsoEnergy of customary conditions to listing imposed by the TSX. See “– Stock Exchange Listing Approval”. If any additional filings or consents are required, such filings or consents will be sought but these additional requirements could delay the Effective Date or prevent the completion of the Arrangement.

 

 74 

 

 

CFIUS Approval

 

Section 721 of the DPA authorizes CFIUS to review any “covered transaction,” as defined in Section 800.213 of the CFIUS Regulations and to mitigate or remove any risk or threat to the national security of the United States. Under the CFIUS Regulations, a “covered transaction” includes any transaction by or with a foreign person, including mergers, acquisitions, and other transactions, that could result in foreign control of any “U.S. business,” as defined under Section 800.252 of the CFIUS Regulations.

 

Whether to make a voluntary filing is a business decision made by both parties and is generally recommended if a “covered transaction” may be viewed as potentially creating a U.S. national security risk. Obtaining approval from CFIUS gives the transaction a “safe harbor” from any further national security review, while a transaction that is not filed with CFIUS remains open to a required filing by CFIUS at a later date and, in certain circumstances, a forced divestiture if other remedial modifications to the transaction are not possible.

 

The proposed acquisition of Anfield under the Arrangement Agreement is a “covered transaction” subject to CFIUS jurisdiction because it would result in the control of a U.S. business by a “foreign person,” as defined under Section 800.224 of the CFIUS Regulations. IsoEnergy is a foreign person under the CFIUS Regulations because, among other things, it is a company organized under the laws of Canada, has its principal place of business in Canada and has its equity securities primarily traded on a Canadian exchange. Anfield is a U.S. business because it engages in interstate commerce in the United States, given that its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries are incorporated in the United States and hold assets in the form of real and personal property in the United States, in addition to certain U.S. permits and legal rights related to mining.

 

Parties can notify CFIUS of a covered transaction through a notice filing or a short-form declaration. In the case of a declaration, parties must provide certain proscribed information about the foreign investor, the U.S. business, and the transaction. Once CFIUS accepts the declaration, CFIUS has a 30-day period within which to assess the underlying transaction, after which CFIUS will: (1) issue the CFIUS Approval, (2) take no position on the transaction, or (3) request that the parties file a long-form “notice,” which would involve a review period of up to 45 days, followed, if necessary, by an investigation period of up to 45 days.

 

Through a notice filing, parties must provide more detailed prescribed information about the foreign person, the U.S. business, and the transaction. The parties first submit a pre-filing draft of the notice and then incorporate revisions in response to comments from CFIUS. After that, the parties submit a formal notice filing and, once accepted by CFIUS, CFIUS has an initial 45-day period within which to review the transaction, followed, if necessary, by an investigation period of up to 45 days. In extraordinary matters, there is also the possibility of an additional 15-day investigation period and a separate 15-day period for Presidential review.

 

Based on a review by IsoEnergy management, the IsoEnergy Board does not believe that Anfield is a “TID U.S. business” because, under Section 800.248 of the CFIUS Regulations: (a) Anfield does not produce, design, test, manufacture, fabricate, or develop any “critical technology” within the meaning of Section 800.215 of the CFIUS Regulations; (b) neither Anfield nor any of its mining projects or properties is, or in the case of Anfield performs a function with respect to, a “covered investment critical infrastructure” as defined in the CFIUS Regulations; and (c) Anfield does not maintain or collect, directly or indirectly, “sensitive personal data” of U.S. citizens, as that term is defined in Section 800.241 of the CFIUS Regulations.

 

Currently, none of Anfield’s U.S. properties are in the production stage and so Anfield is not producing any nuclear products, byproduct material, or source material. Additionally, even if it could be said that Anfield is producing any nuclear products, Anfield does not possess any information about uranium mining that is not otherwise in the public domain. While the lack of current development and production of uranium obviates mandatory CFIUS disclosure, the parties have agreed to submit a voluntary short-form declaration to CFIUS seeking approval of the Arrangement Agreement.

Stock Exchange Listing Approval and Delisting Matters

 

The IsoEnergy Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “ISO” and are also listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “ISENF”.

 

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, IsoEnergy has agreed to apply for and use reasonable best efforts to obtain approval for the listing for trading on the TSX of the IsoEnergy Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement and it is a condition to the completion of the Arrangement that the TSX shall have conditionally approved the listing of the Consideration Shares issuable pursuant to the Arrangement on the TSX. IsoEnergy has applied to list the IsoEnergy Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement on the TSX and has received conditional approval from the TSX, subject to filing certain documents following the closing of the Arrangement. It is a listing requirement of the TSX that the Share Issuance Resolution is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast by IsoEnergy Shareholders present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the IsoEnergy Meeting. See “Transaction Agreements – the Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective”.

 

The Anfield Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSXV under the symbol “AEC”, and are also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “0AD” and on the OTCQB under the symbol “ANLDF. The Anfield Listed Warrants are also listed on the TSXV under the symbol “AEC.WT”. It is a condition to implementation of the Arrangement that Anfield will have obtained the necessary conditional approval of the TSXV in respect of the Arrangement. The TSXV has conditionally approved the Arrangement and the delisting of the Anfield Shares following the Effective Time, subject to the filing of certain documents following the closing of the Arrangement.

 

IsoEnergy intends to have the Anfield Shares delisted from the TSXV and each other exchange upon which the Anfield Shares are listed or posted for trading or quoted as promptly as possible following the Effective Date (anticipated to be effective two or three Business Days following the Effective Date).

 

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Anfield has agreed to use its best efforts to ensure that the Anfield Listed Warrants are delisted in connection with closing of the Arrangement, including without limitation, calling and holding a meeting of the holders of the Anfield Listed Warrants for purposes of considering a resolution approving the delisting of the Anfield Listed Warrants and having the Anfield Board recommend that holders of the Listed Anfield Warrants vote in favour of such resolutions. In connection with the Anfield Meeting, Anfield intends to have a vote of the holders of the Anfield Listed Warrants to approve delisting the Anfield Listed Warrants from the TSXV; however, it is not a condition precedent to completion of the Arrangement that the Anfield Listed Warrants be delisted from the TSXV. If the holders of the Anfield Listed Warrants do not approve the delisting of the Anfield Listed Warrants, the Anfield Listed Warrants will be delisted from the TSXV and redesignated and be listed on the TSX under IsoEnergy’s trading symbol, as “ISO.WT”, but will remain outstanding securities of Anfield, exercisable for IsoEnergy Shares as adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

 

Canadian Securities Law Matters

 

Status Under Canadian Securities Laws

 

IsoEnergy is a reporting issuer in each of the Provinces and Territories of Canada. The IsoEnergy Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “ISO” and are also listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “ISENF”. It is anticipated that, following completion of the Arrangement, the IsoEnergy Shares will continue to be listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “ISO” and listed on the OTCQX under the symbol “ISENF”.

 

 76 

 

 

Anfield is a reporting issuer in Alberta and British Columbia. The Anfield Shares are currently listed and posted for trading on the TSXV under the symbol “AEC”, and are also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “0AD” and on the OTCQB under the symbol “ANLDF”. Following the Effective Date, the Anfield Shares will be delisted from the TSXV as promptly as possible following completion of the Arrangement (anticipated to be effective two or three Business Days following the Effective Date). Subject to applicable Laws and the delisting of the Anfield Listed Warrants, IsoEnergy will apply promptly following the Effective Time to the applicable Canadian Securities Authorities to have Anfield cease to be a reporting issuer in all jurisdictions in which it is a reporting issuer and thus will terminate Anfield’s reporting obligations in Canada.

 

Distribution and Resale of IsoEnergy Shares under Canadian Securities Laws

 

The distribution of the IsoEnergy Shares pursuant to the Arrangement will constitute a distribution of securities which is exempt from the prospectus requirements of Canadian Securities Laws and is exempt from or otherwise is not subject to the registration requirements under applicable Canadian Securities Laws. The IsoEnergy Shares received pursuant to the Arrangement will not be legended and may be resold through registered dealers in each of the provinces of Canada provided that (i) the trade is not a “control distribution” as defined NI 45-102, (ii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or to create a demand for IsoEnergy Shares, (iii) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid to a person or company in respect of such sale, and (iv) if the selling security holder is an insider or officer of IsoEnergy, the selling security holder has no reasonable grounds to believe that IsoEnergy is in default of applicable Securities Laws.

 

U.S. Securities Law Matters

 

The Consideration Shares issuable to Anfield Shareholders in exchange for their Anfield Shares as part of the Arrangement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and such Consideration Shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof. Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act exempts the issuance of securities issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act where the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange have been approved by a court of competent jurisdiction that is expressly authorized by law to grant such approval, after a hearing upon the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear and receive timely and adequate notice thereof. The Court is authorized to conduct a hearing at which the substantive and procedural fairness of the terms and conditions of the Plan of Arrangement will be considered. The Court granted the Interim Order on October 31, 2024 and, subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Anfield Shareholders, and the approval of the Share Issuance Resolution by the IsoEnergy Shareholders, among other things, a hearing for a Final Order approving the Plan of Arrangement and such issuance of Consideration Shares will be held on or about December 6, 2024 by the Court. See “Regulatory Matters and Approvals – Court Approvals”. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court will be informed of the Parties’ intention to rely on the Final Order as the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act set forth in Section 3(a)(10) thereof. All Anfield Shareholders are entitled to appear and be heard at this hearing, provided that they satisfy the applicable conditions set forth in the Interim Order. The Final Order of the Court will, if granted, constitute the basis for the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the Consideration Shares issuable in connection with the Arrangement.

 

 77 

 

 

The Consideration Shares to be received by Anfield Shareholders in exchange for their Anfield Shares upon the completion of the Arrangement may be resold without restriction under the U.S. Securities Act, except in respect of resales by persons who are “affiliates” (within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act) of IsoEnergy at the time of such resale or who have been affiliates of IsoEnergy within 90 days before such resale. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of an issuer generally include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with the issuer, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and generally include executive officers and directors of the issuer as well as principal shareholders of the issuer.

 

The foregoing discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of United States federal securities laws applicable to the issuance and resale of Consideration Shares received upon completion of the Arrangement. All holders of such securities are urged to consult with counsel to ensure that the resale of their securities complies with applicable securities legislation.

 

 78 

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

In assessing the Arrangement, readers should carefully consider the risks described below which relate to the Arrangement and the failure to complete the Arrangement. IsoEnergy Shareholders should also carefully consider the risk factors relating to IsoEnergy described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the IsoEnergy AIF and the risk factors relating to Anfield described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Anfield AIF, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Circular. Readers are cautioned that such risk factors are not exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial to IsoEnergy, may also adversely affect Anfield or IsoEnergy prior to the Arrangement or following completion of the Arrangement.

 

Risk Factors Relating to the Arrangement

 

The Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or waiver of several conditions precedent.

 

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to satisfaction or waiver of several conditions, some of which are outside of the control of IsoEnergy, including, among other things, the receipt of the IsoEnergy Shareholder Approval, the Anfield Shareholder Approval, the Final Order, the CFIUS Approval and the approval of the TSX for the listing of the Consideration Shares. In addition, completion of the Arrangement is conditional on, among other things, there not having occurred an IsoEnergy Material Adverse Effect or an Anfield Material Adverse Effect, Anfield Shareholders not having validly exercised Dissent Rights with respect to more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Anfield Shares, and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions. There can be no certainty, nor can IsoEnergy provide any assurance, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be satisfied or waived, or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived and, accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed.

 

See “Transaction Agreements – the Arrangement Agreement – Conditions to the Arrangement Becoming Effective”.

 

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated the Parties in certain circumstances.

 

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by the Parties in certain circumstances, in which case the Arrangement will not be completed. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can IsoEnergy provide any assurance, that the Arrangement Agreement will not be terminated by either IsoEnergy or Anfield before the completion of the Arrangement.

 

If the Arrangement is not completed and IsoEnergy decides to seek another acquisition, there can be no assurance that it will be able to find an asset or target company for acquisition at an equivalent or more attractive price than the Share Consideration to be paid pursuant to the Arrangement.

 

See “Transaction Agreements – The Arrangement Agreement – Termination”.

 

The failure to complete the Arrangement could negatively impact IsoEnergy and have an adverse impact on the market price of the IsoEnergy Shares and/or on the current and future business, financial condition and prospects of IsoEnergy.

 

If the Arrangement is not completed for any reason, including a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent or a termination of the Arrangement Agreement, there are risks that such failure to complete the Arrangement could adversely impact the market price of the IsoEnergy Shares to the extent that the current market price of the IsoEnergy Shares reflects a market assumption that the Arrangement will be completed. Depending on the reasons for the Arrangement not being completed, such failure to complete the Arrangement could have an adverse impact on the current and future business, operations, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of IsoEnergy.

 

 79 

 

 

The market value of the IsoEnergy Shares to be issued in connection with the Arrangement has and may continue to fluctuate between the date of the Arrangement Agreement and the completion of the Arrangement.

 

The Exchange Ratio is fixed and will not change due to fluctuations in the market price of IsoEnergy Shares or Anfield Shares. The market price of the IsoEnergy Shares or Anfield Shares could each fluctuate significantly prior to the Effective Date in response to various factors and events, including, without limitation, the differences between IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s actual financial or operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, changes in analysts’ projections or recommendations, changes in general economic or market conditions, and broad market fluctuations. The underlying cause of any such change in relative market price may constitute an Anfield Material Adverse Effect or an IsoEnergy Material Adverse Effect, the occurrence of which in respect of a Party could entitle the other Party to terminate the Arrangement Agreement or otherwise entitle either Party to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. As a result of such fluctuations, historical market prices are not indicative of future market prices or the market value of the IsoEnergy Shares that Anfield Shareholders may receive on the Effective Date. There can also be no assurance that the trading price of the IsoEnergy Shares will not decline following the completion of the Arrangement. Accordingly, the market value represented by the Exchange Ratio will also vary.

 

The issuance of IsoEnergy Shares and a resulting “market overhang” could adversely affect the market price of the IsoEnergy Shares following completion of the Arrangement.

 

On completion of the Arrangement, a significant number of additional IsoEnergy Shares will be issued and available for trading in the public market. The increase in the number of IsoEnergy Shares may lead to sales of such shares or the perception that such sales may occur (commonly referred to as “market overhang”), either of which may adversely affect the market for, and the market price of, the IsoEnergy Shares.

 

The issuance of IsoEnergy Shares in connection with the Arrangement could result in the dilution of ownership and voting interests of current IsoEnergy Shareholders.

 

As a result of the issuance of IsoEnergy Shares in connection with the Arrangement, the ownership and voting interests of IsoEnergy Shareholders in IsoEnergy will be diluted, relative to current proportional ownership and voting interests.

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield may be the targets of legal claims, securities class actions, derivative lawsuits and other claims.

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield may be the target of securities class actions and derivative lawsuits which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed. Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into an agreement to acquire a public company or to be acquired. Third parties may also attempt to bring claims against IsoEnergy and Anfield seeking to restrain the Arrangement or seeking monetary compensation or other remedies. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting consummation of the Arrangement, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Arrangement from being completed.

 

In addition, political and public attitudes towards the Arrangement could result in negative press coverage and other adverse public statements affecting IsoEnergy and Anfield. Adverse press coverage and other adverse statements could lead to investigations by regulators, legislators and law enforcement officials or in legal claims or otherwise negatively impact the ability of IsoEnergy to take advantage of various business and market opportunities. The direct and indirect effects of negative publicity, and the demands of responding to and addressing it, may have a material adverse effect on IsoEnergy’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

 80 

 

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the proposed Arrangement.

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield have incurred and expect to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the Arrangement and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, including costs relating to obtaining required shareholder and regulatory approvals. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred by IsoEnergy in the course of coordinating the businesses of IsoEnergy and Anfield after the completion of the Arrangement. If the Arrangement is not completed, IsoEnergy will need to pay certain costs relating to the Arrangement incurred prior to the date the Arrangement was abandoned, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, proxy solicitation and printing fees. IsoEnergy is liable for its own costs incurred in connection with the Arrangement. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed for certain reasons, IsoEnergy may be required to pay an expense reimbursement to Anfield. Such costs may be significant and could have an adverse effect on IsoEnergy’s future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

 

Prior to the Effective Date, the Arrangement may divert the attention of IsoEnergy’s management.

 

The pending Arrangement could cause the attention of IsoEnergy’s management to be diverted from the day-to-day operations of IsoEnergy. These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Arrangement and could result in lost opportunities or negative impacts on performance, which could have a material and adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations or prospects of IsoEnergy if the Arrangement is not completed, and on the business of IsoEnergy following the Effective Date.

 

The IsoEnergy Board considered financial projections prepared by IsoEnergy management in connection with the Arrangement. Actual performance of IsoEnergy and Anfield may differ materially from these projections.

 

The IsoEnergy Board considered, among other things, certain projections, prepared by IsoEnergy management, with respect to each of Anfield (the “Anfield Projections”) and IsoEnergy (the “IsoEnergy Projections”, together with the Anfield Projections, the “Projections”). All such projections are based on assumptions and information available at the time the Projections were prepared. IsoEnergy does not know whether the assumptions made will be realized. Such information can be adversely affected by known or unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s control. Further, financial forecasts of this type are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to risks and other factors such as company performance, industry performance, legal and regulatory developments, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as changes to the business, financial condition or results of operations of IsoEnergy and Anfield, including the factors described in this “Risk Factors” section and under “Forward-Looking Information”, which factors and changes may impact such forecasts or the underlying assumptions. As a result of these contingencies, there can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. In view of these uncertainties, the references to the Projections in this Circular should not be regarded as an indication that IsoEnergy, the IsoEnergy Board, or any of its advisors or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be an assurance of the achievement of future results.

 

The Projections were prepared by IsoEnergy management for internal use and to, among other things, assist IsoEnergy in evaluating the Arrangement. The Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or toward compliance with IFRS, published guidelines of applicable securities regulatory authorities or the guidelines established by the Chartered Professional Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Neither KPMG LLP, IsoEnergy’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Projections.

 

 81 

 

 

There could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of Anfield for which IsoEnergy is not permitted to terminate the Arrangement Agreement.

 

While IsoEnergy conducted due diligence with respect to Anfield prior to entering into the Arrangement Agreement, there are risks inherent in any transaction. Specifically, there could be unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities of Anfield for which IsoEnergy is not permitted to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. Any such unknown or undisclosed risks or liabilities could materially and adversely affect IsoEnergy’s financial performance and results of operations. IsoEnergy could encounter additional transaction and enforcement-related costs and may fail to realize any or all of the potential benefits from the Arrangement Agreement. Any of the foregoing risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on IsoEnergy’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

IsoEnergy has not verified the reliability of the information regarding Anfield included in, or which may have been omitted from, this Circular.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all historical information regarding Anfield contained in this Circular, including all Anfield financial information and all pro forma financial information reflecting the pro forma effects of the acquisition of Anfield by IsoEnergy, has been derived from Anfield’s publicly disclosed information or provided by Anfield. Although IsoEnergy has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of such information, any inaccuracy or material omission in Anfield’s publicly disclosed information, including the information about or relating to Anfield contained in this Circular, could result in unanticipated liabilities or expenses, increase the cost of integrating the companies or adversely affect IsoEnergy’s operational and development plans and IsoEnergy’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The exercise of Dissent Rights may impact cash resources or result in the Arrangement not being completed.

 

Registered holders of Anfield Shares have the right to exercise Dissent Rights and demand payment equal to the fair value of their Anfield Shares in cash. If Dissent Rights are properly exercised in respect of a significant number of Anfield Shares, IsoEnergy will be obliged under the Arrangement Agreement to make a substantial cash payment to such Anfield Shareholders, which could have an adverse effect on IsoEnergy’s financial condition and cash resources. Further, IsoEnergy’s obligation to complete the Arrangement is conditional upon Anfield Shareholders holding no more than 5% of the outstanding Anfield Shares having exercised Dissent Rights. Accordingly, the Arrangement may not be completed if Anfield Shareholders exercise Dissent Rights in respect of more than 5% of the outstanding Anfield Shares.

 

Uncertainty surrounding the Arrangement could adversely affect IsoEnergy’s or Anfield’s retention of suppliers and personnel and could negatively impact future business and operations.

 

The Arrangement is dependent upon the satisfaction of various conditions, and as a result its completion is subject to uncertainty. In response to this uncertainty, IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s suppliers may delay or defer certain decisions regarding their ongoing business with IsoEnergy and Anfield, respectively. Any change, delay or deferral of those decisions by suppliers could negatively impact the business, operations and prospects of IsoEnergy, regardless of whether the Arrangement is ultimately completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees of IsoEnergy may experience uncertainty about their future roles until such time as IsoEnergy’s plans with respect to such employees are determined and announced. This may adversely affect IsoEnergy’s ability to attract or retain key employees in the period until the Arrangement is completed or thereafter.

 

 82 

 

 

The Canaccord Fairness Opinion does not reflect changes in circumstances that may have occurred or that may occur between the date of the Arrangement Agreement and the completion of the Arrangement.

 

The IsoEnergy Board has not obtained an updated opinion from Canaccord Genuity as of the date of this Circular, nor does it expect to receive an updated, revised or reaffirmed opinion prior to the completion of the Arrangement. Changes in the operations and prospects of IsoEnergy and Anfield, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of the Parties, and on which the Canaccord Fairness Opinion was based, may significantly alter the value of IsoEnergy or Anfield or the market price of the IsoEnergy Shares or the Anfield Shares by the time the Arrangement is completed. The Canaccord Fairness Opinion does not speak as of the time the Arrangement will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. Since the Canaccord Fairness Opinion will not be updated, such opinion will not address the fairness of the Share Consideration, from a financial point of view, at the time the Arrangement is completed. The IsoEnergy Board Recommendation, however, is made as of the date of this Circular. See “The Arrangement – Canaccord Fairness Opinion”.

 

Risk Factors Relating to IsoEnergy Following Completion of the Arrangement

 

The anticipated benefits of the Arrangement may not be realized.

 

Achieving the benefits of the Arrangement depends in part on the ability of IsoEnergy to effectively capitalize on its scale, to realize the anticipated capital and operating synergies, to profitably sequence the growth prospects of its asset base and to maximize the potential of its improved growth opportunities and capital funding opportunities as a result of combining the businesses and operations of IsoEnergy and Anfield.

 

The ability to realize the benefits of the Arrangement will depend in part on successfully consolidating functions and integrating operations, procedures and personnel in a timely and efficient manner, as well as on IsoEnergy’s ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from integrating IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s respective businesses, following completion of the Arrangement. The integration of IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s businesses requires the dedication of substantial effort, time and resources on the part of IsoEnergy’s management which may divert the focus of IsoEnergy’s management and resources from other strategic opportunities available to IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement and from operational matters during this process.

 

In addition, the integration process could result in disruption of existing relationships with suppliers, employees, customers and other constituencies of IsoEnergy and Anfield. There can be no assurance that IsoEnergy’s management will be able to integrate the operations of the business or assets successfully or achieve any of the synergies or other benefits that are anticipated as a result of the Arrangement. Many operational and strategic decisions and certain staffing decisions with respect to integration have not yet been made. These decisions and the integration of the companies and assets may present challenges to IsoEnergy’s management, including the integration of systems and personnel of the companies which may be geographically separated, unanticipated liabilities, and unanticipated costs. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of the respective ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the ability of their respective management to maintain relationships with clients, suppliers, employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Arrangement. The performance of IsoEnergy’s operations after completion of the Arrangement could be adversely affected if IsoEnergy cannot identify, attract and retain key employees to assist in the integration and operation of IsoEnergy and Anfield.

The consummation of the Arrangement may also pose special risks, including one-time write-offs, restructuring charges and unanticipated costs. Although each of IsoEnergy and Anfield and their respective advisors have conducted due diligence on the various operations, there can be no guarantee that IsoEnergy will be aware of any and all liabilities of Anfield. As a result of these factors, it is possible that certain benefits expected from the Arrangement may not be realized. Any inability of management to successfully integrate the operations could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of IsoEnergy.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition of IsoEnergy’s financial condition or results of operations following completion of the Arrangement.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information included in this Circular is presented for illustrative purposes only to show the effect of the Arrangement and should not be considered to be an indication of the financial condition or results of operations of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement. For example, the pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of IsoEnergy and of Anfield and do not represent a financial forecast or projection. In addition, the pro forma consolidated financial information included in this Circular is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the Arrangement. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect IsoEnergy’s results of operations or financial condition following completion the Arrangement. Accordingly, the historical and pro forma consolidated financial information included in this Circular does not necessarily represent IsoEnergy’s results of operations and financial condition had IsoEnergy and Anfield operated as a combined entity during the periods presented, or of IsoEnergy’s results of operations and financial condition following the Arrangement.

 

In preparing the pro forma consolidated financial information contained in this Circular, IsoEnergy has given effect to, among other items, the completion of the Arrangement and the issuance of the Consideration Shares. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information does not reflect all of the costs that are expected to be incurred by IsoEnergy in connection with the Arrangement. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating IsoEnergy and Anfield is not reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial information. See also the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of IsoEnergy and Anfield included in “Appendix G – Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” attached to this Circular.

 

Failure by IsoEnergy and/or Anfield to comply with applicable Laws prior to the Arrangement could subject IsoEnergy to penalties and other adverse consequences following completion of the Arrangement.

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada). The foregoing Laws prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In addition, such Laws require the maintenance of records relating to transactions and an adequate system of internal controls over accounting. There can be no assurance that either Party’s internal control policies and procedures, compliance mechanisms or monitoring programs will protect it from recklessness, fraudulent behavior, dishonesty or other inappropriate acts or adequately prevent or detect possible violations under applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation. A failure by IsoEnergy or Anfield to comply with anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject IsoEnergy to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution, potential debarment from public procurement and reputational damage, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement. Investigations by governmental authorities could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement.

 

 84 

 

 

IsoEnergy and Anfield are also subject to a wide variety of Laws relating to the environment, health and safety, taxes, employment, labor standards, money laundering, terrorist financing and other matters in the jurisdictions in which they operate. A failure by either of IsoEnergy or Anfield to comply with any such legislation prior to the Arrangement could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and may subject IsoEnergy to other liabilities, including fines, prosecution and reputational damage, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement. The compliance mechanisms and monitoring programs adopted and implemented by either of IsoEnergy or Anfield prior to the Arrangement may not adequately prevent or detect possible violations of such applicable Laws. Investigations by governmental authorities could also have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of IsoEnergy following completion of the Arrangement.

 

Following the Arrangement, the trading price of the IsoEnergy Shares cannot be guaranteed, may be volatile and could be less than, on an adjusted basis, the current trading prices of IsoEnergy and Anfield due to various market-related and other factors.

 

Securities markets have a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Securities of companies in the mining industry have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include global economic developments and market perceptions of the mining industry. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price will not occur. The market price per IsoEnergy Share is also likely to be affected by changes in IsoEnergy’s financial condition or results of operations. Other factors unrelated to the performance of IsoEnergy that may have an effect on the price of IsoEnergy Shares include the following: changes in the market price of the commodities that IsoEnergy and Anfield sell and purchase; current events affecting the economic situation in Canada, Australia and internationally; trends in the global mining industries; regulatory and/or government actions, rulings or policies; changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts or rating agencies; acquisitions and financings; the economics of current and future projects and operations of IsoEnergy and Anfield; quarterly variations in operating results; the operating and share price performance of other companies, including those that investors may deem comparable; the issuance of additional equity securities by IsoEnergy or the perception that such issuance may occur; and purchases or sales of blocks of IsoEnergy Shares.

 

Mineral Resource figures pertaining to IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s properties are only estimates and are subject to revision based on developing information.

 

Information pertaining to IsoEnergy’s and Anfield’s mineral resource estimates presented in this Circular, or incorporated by reference herein, are estimates and no assurances can be given as to their accuracy. Such estimates are, in large part, based on interpretations of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques. Actual mineralization or formations may be different from those predicted. Mineral resource estimates are materially dependent on the prevailing price of minerals and the cost of recovering and processing minerals at the individual mine sites. Market fluctuations in the price of minerals or increases in recovery costs, as well as various short-term operating factors, may cause a mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period.

 

The estimates of mineral resources attributable to any specific property of IsoEnergy or Anfield are based on accepted engineering and evaluation principles. Furthermore, we have not reviewed in detail the methodology used by Anfield in preparing mineral resource estimates in respect of its properties and accordingly there is no assurance that such estimates will not change following our review of the methodology.

Other Covenants and Agreements

 

The Arrangement Agreement contains certain other covenants and agreements, including covenants relating to:

 

(a)           cooperation between IsoEnergy and Anfield in connection with public announcements and IsoEnergy Shareholder or Anfield Shareholder, as applicable, communications;

 

(b)           cooperation between IsoEnergy and Anfield to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals required to be obtained by IsoEnergy and Anfield from other third parties in order to complete the Arrangement;

(g)           the allotment and reservation by IsoEnergy of a sufficient number of IsoEnergy Shares to meet IsoEnergy’s obligations under the Arrangement Agreement.

 

Non-Solicitation Covenants

 

Other than as specified in the Arrangement Agreement, Anfield has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, including through its subsidiaries or its representatives:

 

(a)           make, initiate, solicit, or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or that could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to Acquisition Proposal;

 

(b)           participate directly or indirectly in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish confidential information to, any person (other than IsoEnergy and its subsidiaries) regarding an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

 

(c)           make or propose publicly to make an Anfield Change of Recommendation; or

 

(d)           agree to, approve, accept, recommend, enter into, publicly propose to agree to, approve, accept, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal, (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement); or

 

(e)           make any public announcement or take any other action inconsistent with, or that could reasonably be likely to be regarded as detracting from, the approval or recommendation of the Anfield Board of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

 

Anfield has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries and representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussion, negotiation or other activities with any person (other than IsoEnergy, its subsidiaries and their respective representatives) conducted prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, including immediately discontinuing access to any of its confidential information, including access to any data room, virtual or otherwise, to any person (other than access by IsoEnergy and its representatives), and requesting, and using its commercially reasonable efforts to exercise all rights it has to require the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding Anfield or its subsidiaries previously provided in connection therewith to any person (other than IsoEnergy and its representatives).

 

If at any time prior to Anfield obtaining the Anfield Shareholder Approval, Anfield receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, and the Anfield Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal, if consummated in accordance with its terms, would reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal, then Anfield and its representatives may (a) furnish or provide access to confidential information to such person pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, if and only if (i) Anfield provides a copy of such agreement to IsoEnergy promptly upon its execution and (ii) Anfield promptly provides to IsoEnergy any non-public information concerning Anfield that it intends to provided to such person which was not previously provided to IsoEnergy or its representatives prior to providing to such person; and (b) engage in or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

 

 92 

 

 

Anfield must promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify IsoEnergy, at first orally and thereafter in writing, of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Acquisition Proposal, or any request for non-public information relating to Anfield in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal, a description of the material terms and conditions of such inquiry or request and the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, and promptly provide to IsoEnergy such other information concerning such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request as IsoEnergy may reasonably request, including all material or substantive correspondence relating to such Acquisition Proposal. Thereafter, Anfield has agreed to keep IsoEnergy promptly and fully informed of the status, developments and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, including any material changes, modifications or other amendments thereto.

 

If at any time prior to Anfield Meeting, Anfield receives an Acquisition Proposal that the Anfield Board has determined is a Superior Proposal, the Anfield Board, may make an Anfield Change of Recommendation, or enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if:

 

(a)Anfield has complied with and continues to be in compliance in all material respects with the non-solicitation provisions of the Arrangement Agreement;

 

(b)Anfield has given written notice to IsoEnergy (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) that it has received such Superior Proposal, and that the Anfield Board has determined that (i) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes an Superior Proposal, and (ii) the Anfield Board intends to make an Anfield Change of Recommendation and/or enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case promptly following the making of such determination, together with a summary of the material terms of any proposed Acquisition Agreement or other agreement relating to such Superior Proposal (together with a copy of such agreement and any ancillary agreements and supporting materials) to be executed with the person making such Superior Proposal, and, a written notice from the Anfield Board regarding the value or range of values in financial terms that the Anfield Board has, in consultation with financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered in the Superior Proposal;

 

(c)a period of five full Business Days (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) has elapsed from the later of (i) the date that IsoEnergy received the Superior Proposal Notice, and (ii) the date on which IsoEnergy received the summary of material terms and copies of any proposed Acquisition Agreement;

 

(d)if IsoEnergy has proposed to amend the terms of the Arrangement in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement, the Anfield Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal compared to the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by IsoEnergy; and

 

(e)prior to or concurrently with entering into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, Anfield terminates the Arrangement Agreement and pays the Termination Fee.

 

During a Superior Proposal Notice Period, IsoEnergy has the right, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of the Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement. The Anfield Board will review in good faith any offer made by IsoEnergy to amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine, in consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, whether the proposed amendments would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal that previously constituted a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Anfield Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal as a result of the amendments proposed by IsoEnergy, Anfield will forthwith so advise IsoEnergy and the Parties will amend the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement to reflect such offer made by IsoEnergy, and the Parties agree to take such actions and execute such documents as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing. Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will constitute a new Acquisition Proposal, for the purposes of the Arrangement Agreement, and IsoEnergy will be afforded an additional Superior Proposal Notice Period in connection therewith.

 

 93 

 

 

Anfield has agreed that the Anfield Board must reaffirm the Anfield Board Recommendation by news release promptly after (i) the Anfield Board has determined that any Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal if the Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced or made; or (ii) the Anfield Board makes the determination that an Acquisition Proposal that has been publicly announced or made and which previously constituted a Superior Proposal has ceased to be a Superior Proposal, and the Parties have so amended the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement. IsoEnergy and its outside legal counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such news release and the Anfield shall give reasonable consideration to all amendments to such press release requested by IsoEnergy and its outside legal counsel.

 

IsoEnergy Change of Recommendation

 

IsoEnergy has agreed not to make an IsoEnergy Change of Recommendation unless the IsoEnergy Board determines, in good faith and based upon the advice of its outside legal counsel, that a fact or circumstance that was known but not disclosed by Anfield occurred prior to the date of the Arrangement Agreement or that a fact or circumstance has occurred since the date of the Arrangement Agreement and, as a result of the occurrence of such fact or circumstance, continuing to make IsoEnergy Board Recommendation would constitute a violation of its fiduciary and statutory duties under applicable Law (including in accordance with MI 61-101 and the interpretive guidance promulgated under Multilateral Staff Notice 61-302).

 

Termination

 

The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective Time in certain circumstances, including:

(ii)Anfield breaches its non-solicitation covenants in the Arrangement Agreement;

 

(iii)subject to compliance with the notice and cure provisions in the Arrangement Agreement, Anfield breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Arrangement Agreement, which breach would cause any of the mutual conditions precedent or the conditions precedent to the obligations of IsoEnergy not to be satisfied, in each case in any material respect, and such breach is incapable of being cured or is not cured in accordance with the notice and cure provisions of the Arrangement Agreement, provided, however, that any wilful breach will be deemed incapable of being cured and IsoEnergy is not then in breach of the Arrangement Agreement; or

Compensation Securities

 

At the 2024 AGM, IsoEnergy Shareholders approved a new Omnibus Long Term Incentive Plan (the “IsoEnergy LTIP”), which provides for a variety of equity-based awards that may be granted to certain participants, including performance share units, restricted share units and IsoEnergy Options.

 

IsoEnergy also has a legacy stock option plan (the “IsoEnergy Legacy Option Plan”) which permitted the IsoEnergy Board to grant to IsoEnergy Options.

The Replacement Options are also governed by the Legacy Option Plan.

 

As of October 30, 2024, IsoEnergy Options (including CUR Replacement Options) to purchase an aggregate of up to 16,878,493 IsoEnergy Shares are issued and outstanding.

 

Debentures

 

2020 Debentures

 

On August 18, 2020, IsoEnergy issued US$6 million principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures to Queen’s Road (the “2020 Debentures” and together with the 2022 Debentures, the “Debentures”). As of October 30, 2024, IsoEnergy has US$6,000,000 in principal of 2020 Debentures outstanding. The 2020 Debentures carry an 8.5% coupon (“Coupon Interest”), of which 6% is payable in cash and 2.5% payable in IsoEnergy Shares, over a five-year term. The Coupon Interest on the 2020 Debentures can be reduced to 7.5% per annum on the public dissemination by IsoEnergy of an economically positive preliminary economic assessment study, at which point the cash component of the Coupon Interest will be reduced to 5% per annum.

 

The principal amount of the 2020 Debentures (converted into Canadian dollars) is convertible into IsoEnergy Shares at Queen’s Road’s option at a conversion price of $0.88 per share, up to a maximum of 9,206,311 IsoEnergy Shares.

 

2022 Debentures

 

As of October 30, 2024, IsoEnergy has US$4,000,000 in principal of 2022 Debentures outstanding. The 2022 Debentures carry Coupon Interest at 10% per annum, of which 7.5% is payable in cash and 2.5% payable in IsoEnergy Shares, over a five-year term. The principal amount of the 2022 Debentures (converted into Canadian dollars) is convertible into IsoEnergy Shares at Queen’s Road’s option at a conversion price of $4.33 per share, up to a maximum of 1,464,281 IsoEnergy Shares.

 

General terms of the Debentures

 

Coupon Interest is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31, and IsoEnergy Shares issued as partial payment of Coupon Interest are, subject to TSX approval, issuable at a price equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the IsoEnergy Shares on the TSX on the 20 days prior to the date such Coupon Interest is due.

 

 D-5 

 

 

On the conversion of any portion of the principal amount of the Debentures, if the number of IsoEnergy Shares to be issued on such conversion, taking into account all IsoEnergy Shares issued in respect of all prior conversions of such Debentures, would result in the IsoEnergy Shares to be issued exceeding the maximum conversion amount for such Debentures, on conversion Queen’s Road shall be entitled to receive a payment (an “Exchange Rate Fee”) equal to the number of IsoEnergy Shares that are not issued as a result of exceeding the maximum IsoEnergy Shares, multiplied by the 20-day VWAP. IsoEnergy can elect to pay any such Exchange Rate Fee in cash or, subject to TSX approval, in IsoEnergy Shares.

 

IsoEnergy will be entitled, on or after the third anniversary of the date of issuance of such Debentures, at any time the 20-day VWAP of the IsoEnergy Shares listed on the TSX exceeds 130% of the applicable Conversion Price, to redeem such Debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid Coupon Interest.

 

Upon completion of a change of control (which also requires in the case of the holders’ right to redeem the Debentures, a change in the Chief Executive Officer of IsoEnergy), the holders of the Debentures or IsoEnergy may require IsoEnergy to purchase or the holders to redeem, as the case may be, any outstanding Debentures in cash at: (i) on or prior to August 18, 2023 for the 2020 Debentures and on or prior to December 6, 2025 for the 2022 Debentures, 130% of the principal amount; and (ii) at any time thereafter, 115% of the principal amount, in each case plus accrued but unpaid Coupon Interest, if any. In addition, upon the public announcement of a change of control that is supported by the IsoEnergy Board, IsoEnergy may require the holders of the Debentures to convert the Debentures into IsoEnergy Shares at the Conversion Price provided the consideration payable upon the change of control exceeds the Conversion Price and is payable in cash.

To the Board of Directors:

 

Canaccord Genuity Corp. (“Canaccord Genuity”, “we”, “us” or other pronouns indicating Canaccord Genuity) understands that IsoEnergy Ltd. (“IsoEnergy” or the “Company”) intends to enter into a definitive arrangement agreement on October 1, 2024 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Anfield Energy Inc.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has retained Canaccord Genuity to provide it with advice and assistance, including the preparation and delivery of Canaccord Genuity’s written opinion (the “Opinion”) as to the fairness to the Company, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement.

 

All dollar amounts herein are expressed in Canadian dollars.

 

Engagement of Canaccord Genuity

 

IsoEnergy contacted Canaccord Genuity in February 2024 to assist the Company in assessing and negotiating the proposed terms of and, if ultimately deemed advisable by the Board, carrying out, the Arrangement. Canaccord Genuity was formally engaged by IsoEnergy through an agreement between the Company and Canaccord Genuity dated September 30, 2024 (the “Engagement Agreement”). The Engagement Agreement details, among other things, the terms upon which Canaccord Genuity has agreed to provide the Opinion. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that Canaccord Genuity is to be paid certain fees for its services as financial advisor IsoEnergy, being a fee upon delivery of this Opinion (no part of which is contingent upon this Opinion being favourable or upon success of the Arrangement or any alternative transaction), and a fee payable upon completion of a transaction such as the Arrangement. In addition, if the Arrangement is not completed and a break- up fee or termination fee is paid to the Company, the Company is required to pay Canaccord a portion of such fee. Finally, the Company has agreed to reimburse Canaccord Genuity for its reasonable out- of-pocket expenses and to indemnify Canaccord Genuity in respect of certain liabilities that might arise in connection with its engagement.

 

Canaccord Genuity consents to the inclusion of the Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof in the IsoEnergy Management Information Circular, and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by the Company with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province and territory of Canada and with the TSX, provided that the contents of the IsoEnergy Management Information Circular (i) comply with all applicable laws (including applicable published policy statements of Canadian securities regulatory authorities), and (ii) are approved in writing by Canaccord Genuity, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

Credentials of Canaccord Genuity

 

Canaccord Genuity is an independent investment bank which provides a full range of corporate finance, merger and acquisition, financial restructuring, sales and trading, and equity research services. Canaccord Genuity operates in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America and the Middle East.

The Opinion expressed herein represents the views and opinions of Canaccord Genuity, and the form and content of the Opinion have been approved for release by a committee of Canaccord Genuity’s managing directors, each of whom is experienced in merger, acquisition, divestiture, fairness opinion, and capital markets matters.

 

Independence of Canaccord Genuity

 

Neither Canaccord Genuity nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) is an insider, associate, or affiliate of the Company or Anfield. Other than with respect to the December 2023 Merger (as defined herein) and October 2023 Financing (as defined herein), Canaccord Genuity and its affiliates have not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services to, and have not acted as lead or co-lead manager on any offering of securities of, the Company, Anfield or any of their respective affiliates during the two years preceding the date on which Canaccord Genuity was first contacted by IsoEnergy in respect of the Arrangement, other than the services provided under the Engagement Agreement. Canaccord Genuity acted as financial advisor to IsoEnergy in connection with IsoEnergy’s merger transaction involving Consolidated Uranium Inc., which closed December 5, 2023 (the “December 2023 Merger”), and co-lead underwriter for IsoEnergy’s C$36,605,250 marketed private placement of subscription receipts, which closed October 19, 2023 (the “October 2023 Financing”).

 

The fees paid to Canaccord Genuity pursuant to the Engagement Agreement are not, in the aggregate, financially material to Canaccord Genuity and do not give Canaccord Genuity any financial incentive in respect of either the conclusions reached in the Opinion or the outcome of the Arrangement. There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between Canaccord Genuity and either the Company, Anfield, or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings. However, Canaccord Genuity may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services to the Company, Anfield, or any of their respective associates or affiliates.

 

In addition, Canaccord Genuity and its affiliates act as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have long or short positions in the securities of the Company, Anfield, or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it receives or may receive commission(s). As an investment dealer, Canaccord Genuity and its affiliates conduct research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of their business, provide research reports and investment advice to their clients on investment matters, including with respect to the Company, Anfield, and/or the Arrangement. In addition, Canaccord Genuity and its affiliates may, in the ordinary course of their business, provide other financial services to the Company, Anfield, or any of their associates or affiliates, including advisory, investment banking and capital market activities such as raising debt or equity capital. The rendering of this Opinion will not in any affect Canaccord Genuity’s ability to continue to conduct such activities.

Prior Valuations

 

The Company has represented to Canaccord Genuity that, to the best of its knowledge, information and belief, there have been no independent appraisals, valuations or material non-independent appraisals, valuations or material expert reports, including without limitation any “prior valuations” (as defined in MI 61-101) relating to the Company, any of its subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) or any of its or their material assets, securities or liabilities which have been prepared as of a date within two years preceding the date hereof.

 

Assumptions and Limitations

 

The Opinion is subject to the assumptions, qualifications, explanations and limitations set forth herein.

 

Canaccord Genuity has not prepared a formal valuation or appraisal of the Company or Anfield or any of their respective securities or assets and the Opinion should not be construed as such. Canaccord Genuity has, however, conducted such analyses as it considered necessary and appropriate at the time and in the circumstances. In addition, the Opinion is not, and should not be construed as, advice as to the price at which any securities of the Company or Anfield may trade at any future date.

The Opinion is conditional upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of our professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information. With respect to the financial projections provided to Canaccord Genuity by the Company and used in the analysis supporting the Opinion, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and reasonable assumptions and judgements of management of the Company, as to the matters covered thereby and which, in the opinion of the Company, are (and were at the time of preparation) reasonable in the circumstances. By rendering the Opinion, we express no view as to the reasonableness of such forecasts, projections, estimates or the assumptions on which they are based.

This Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as of the date hereof and the conditions and prospects, financial and otherwise, of the Company, Anfield, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in both the Information and Company Information and as they have been represented to Canaccord Genuity in discussions with management of the Company and Anfield. In its analyses and in preparing this Opinion, Canaccord Genuity made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, which Canaccord Genuity believes to be reasonable and appropriate in the exercise of its professional judgement, many of which are beyond the control of Canaccord Genuity or any party involved in the Arrangement.

 

This Opinion has been provided for the sole use and benefit of, and is to be relied upon solely by, the Board in connection with, and for the purpose of, its consideration of the Arrangement and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose and, except as contemplated herein, may not be quoted from, publicly disseminated or otherwise communicated to any other person without the express prior written consent of Canaccord Genuity. This Opinion does not constitute, and is not to be construed as, a recommendation as to how the Board or any IsoEnergy Shareholder (or any other securityholder of the Company) should vote or otherwise act with respect to any matters relating to the Arrangement, or whether to proceed with the Arrangement or any related transaction. Canaccord Genuity will not be held liable for any losses sustained by any person should the Opinion be circulated, distributed, published, reproduced or used contrary to the provisions of this paragraph.

 

This Opinion has been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Standards for Formal Valuations and Fairness Opinions of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (“CIRO”), but CIRO has not been involved in the preparation or review of this Opinion.

 

This Opinion does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with or effect the Arrangement or the relative merits of the Arrangement as compared to other transactions or business strategies that might be available to IsoEnergy. In considering fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company, Canaccord Genuity considered whether the Consideration to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses and the Company has not asked us to address, and the Opinion does not address, the fairness of the Consideration or Arrangement to the holders of any one class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or Anfield. The Opinion is given as of the date hereof, and Canaccord Genuity disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion which may come, or be brought, to the attention of Canaccord Genuity after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Opinion after the date hereof, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of the Arrangement, or if Canaccord Genuity learns that the Information or Company Information relied upon in rendering the Opinion was inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect, Canaccord Genuity reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Opinion, but, in doing so, does not assume any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion and Canaccord Genuity expressly disclaims any such obligation.

Canaccord Genuity believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying this Opinion. The preparation of an opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analyses or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. This Opinion should be read in its entirety.

 

Approach to Financial Fairness

 

In connection with the Opinion, Canaccord Genuity has performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses. In arriving at the Opinion, Canaccord Genuity has not attributed any particular weight to any specific analysis or factor, but rather has made qualitative judgments based on its experience in rendering such opinions and on the circumstances and Information as a whole.

 

Conclusion

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and such other matters as Canaccord Genuity considered relevant, Canaccord Genuity is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

 

Yours very truly,

3.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accounting policies used in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements are set out in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In preparing the Pro Forma Financial Statements, a preliminary review was undertaken to identify any accounting policy differences between the accounting policies used by the Company and those of Anfield Energy where the impact was potentially material and could be reasonably estimated. The significant accounting policies of Anfield Energy conform, in all material respects, to those of the Company except for the accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures and the accounting for changes in fair value of marketable securities. A final review will be completed after closing of the Transaction to ensure all differences have been identified and recognized. Certain of Anfield Energy’s assets, liabilities, income and expenses have been reclassified to conform to the Company's unaudited pro forma financial statement presentation.

 

4.DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

 

On October 1, 2024, the Company and Anfield Energy entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which IsoEnergy has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Anfield Energy. Anfield Energy is a TSXV listed company that owns 100% of the Shootaring Canyon Mill, located in Utah, as well as a portfolio of uranium and vanadium exploration projects in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

 

Under the terms of the Transaction, Anfield Energy shareholders (the “Anfield Energy Shareholders”) will receive 0.031 of a common share of IsoEnergy (each whole share, an “IsoEnergy Share”) for each Anfield Energy Share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). Each Anfield option that is not exercised prior to the closing of the Transaction will be exchanged for a replacement option of the Company, adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio, as set out under the terms of the Arrangement. Each Anfield warrant that is not exercised prior to the closing of the Transaction will remain outstanding as a security of Anfield and will entitle the holder thereof to receive on exercise such number of IsoEnergy Shares as adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

 

The Arrangement will be effected by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), requiring (i) the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, (ii) the approval of (A) 66 2/3% of the votes cast on the resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) to approve the Arrangement by the Anfield Energy Shareholders; and (B) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by Anfield Energy Shareholders, excluding Anfield Energy Shares held or controlled by persons described in terms (a) through (d) of Section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions, at a special meeting of the Anfield Energy Shareholders to be held to consider the Arrangement (the “Anfield Energy Meeting”), which is expected to take place in December 2024, and (iii) a simple majority of votes cast by shareholders of IsoEnergy (“IsoEnergy Shareholders”) at a special meeting of IsoEnergy Shareholders (the “IsoEnergy Meeting”), which is expected to take place in December 2024.

 

Each of the directors and executive officers of Anfield Energy, together with enCore Energy Corp., representing an aggregate of approximately 21% of the issued and outstanding Anfield Energy Shares, have entered into voting support agreements with IsoEnergy, pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their Anfield Energy Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution at the Anfield Energy Meeting. Each of the directors and executive officers of IsoEnergy, together with NexGen Energy Ltd. and Mega Uranium, representing an aggregate of approximately 36% of the issued and outstanding IsoEnergy Shares, have entered into voting support agreements with Anfield, pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their IsoEnergy Shares in favour of the Arrangement at the IsoEnergy Meeting.

 

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary representations and warranties for a transaction of this nature as well as customary interim period covenants regarding the operation of IsoEnergy and Anfield Energy’s respective businesses. The Arrangement Agreement also provides for customary deal-protection measures, including a $5.0 million termination fee payable by Anfield Energy to IsoEnergy in certain circumstances. In addition to shareholder and court approvals, closing of the Arrangement is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, TSX and TSXV approval and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary for transactions of this nature. Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, IsoEnergy expects that the Transaction will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

In connection with the Arrangement, IsoEnergy has provided a bridge loan in the form of a promissory note of approximately $6.0 million to Anfield Energy, with an interest rate of 15% per annum and a maturity date of April 1, 2025 (the “Bridge Loan”). The Bridge Loan was issued for purposes of satisfying working capital and other obligations of Anfield Energy through to the closing of the Transaction. IsoEnergy has also provided an indemnity for up to US$3.0 million in principal with respect to certain of Anfield Energy’s property obligations (the “Indemnity”).

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

 

4.DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION (continued)

 

The Bridge Loan and the Indemnity are secured by a security interest in all of the now existing and acquired assets, property and undertaking of Anfield Energy and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Anfield Energy. The Bridge Loan and Indemnity are subordinate to certain senior indebtedness of Anfield Energy. The Bridge Loan is immediately repayable in the event that the Arrangement Agreement is terminated by either IsoEnergy or Anfield for any reason.

 

Following completion of the Transaction, the IsoEnergy Shares will continue to trade on the TSX, subject to approval of the TSX in respect of the IsoEnergy Shares being issued pursuant to the Arrangement. The Anfield Energy Shares are expected to be de-listed from the TSXV following closing of the Transaction.

 

The Company retained an investment bank to advise on the Arrangement and provide a fairness opinion to the Company’s Board of Directors, for which the investment bank is entitled to a fixed fee customary for this type of transaction, no part of which is contingent upon the opinion being favourable or upon completion of the Arrangement or any alternative transaction. The Company has also agreed to pay an additional fee for the investment bank’s advisory services in connection with the Transaction, which is contingent upon the completion of the Arrangement.

 

5.PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

 

The proposed acquisition of the outstanding Anfield Energy Shares by the Company pursuant to the Transaction does not constitute a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations ("IFRS 3") and instead has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”), with the Company as the acquirer. Accordingly, the Company has applied the relevant principles of IFRS in the pro forma accounting for the acquisition of Anfield Energy. This requires the Company to recognize consideration transferred in the acquisition at fair value and allocate the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

 

As of the date of hereof, the Company has not completed a detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of Anfield Energy’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. A final determination of the fair value of Anfield Energy’s assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, and exploration and evaluation assets, will be based on the actual property, plant and equipment, and exploration and evaluation assets of Anfield Energy that exist as of the closing date of the Transaction and, therefore, cannot be made prior to the Transaction closing date. In addition, the value of the consideration to be paid by the Company on the consummation of the Transaction will be determined based on the closing price of the IsoEnergy Shares on the Transaction closing date. Further, no effect has been given to any other new Anfield Energy Shares or other equity awards that have been or may be issued or granted subsequent to June 30, 2024 and before the closing date of the Transaction. As a result, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed and finalized.

 

The preliminary pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma financial information. The Company has estimated the fair value of Anfield Energy’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with Anfield Energy’s management, preliminary valuation information, due diligence procedures, and information presented in Anfield Energy’s public filings. Upon completion of the Transaction, a final determination of fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired from Anfield Energy will be performed. Any increases or decreases in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations will result in adjustments to the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position and unaudited pro forma statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income.

 

The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary pro forma purchase price allocation presented below. The estimated consideration transferred, and the preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the purposes of these Pro Forma Financial Statements are summarized in the tables below:

 

The consideration paid by the Company has been calculated as follows:

 

IsoEnergy Shares issued for Anfield Energy Shares      31,578,972 
IsoEnergy Share closing price, October 1, 2024     $3.33 
Total common share consideration     $105,157,977

6.PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

 

The Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect the following assumptions and adjustments to give effect to the business combination, as if the Transaction had occurred on June 30, 2024 for the consolidated statement of financial position and January 1, 2023 for the consolidated statements of (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income. Assumptions relating to the Exchange Ratio are what was agreed to in the Arrangement Agreement. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any additional reclassifications that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma financial information that are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments.

 

For purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements, the assumptions and adjustments made are as follows. Upon expected completion of the Transaction and the Company’s valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the fair values allocated are likely to differ and such differences could be material.

 

(a)The fair value of exploration and evaluation assets acquired has been assumed to be the cost of the exploration and evaluation assets from Anfield Energy’s statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024, including exploration and evaluation costs previously expensed from Anfield Energy’s historical financial statement information, to conform to the Company’s accounting policies under IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“IFRS 6”).

 

(b)Any excess of the total consideration transferred over the carrying value of Anfield’s net assets received will be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed once a final determination of fair values has been completed.

 

(c)The fair value of property and equipment, environmental bonds, prepaid expenses, cash, other non-current assets, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable, and asset retirement obligations has been assumed to be the carrying value reported in Anfield Energy’s statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024. Amounts due to related parties assumed have been reclassified to accounts payable and accrued liabilities as these amounts owing are not currently considered to be to related parties of the Company.

 

(d)Estimated cash transaction costs include expected change of control payments, transaction advisory fees, legal fees, shareholder meeting costs, and other professional and consulting fees. The expected transaction costs have been assumed based on the Company’s best estimate based on the Arrangement Agreement. As the Transaction is being accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with IAS 16, the estimated cash transaction costs are included in the total consideration transferred and are reflected in working capital in the pro forma financial statements. Estimated transaction costs do not include the Bridge Loan, as this would be considered an intercompany loan between the Company and Anfield Energy and is eliminated upon consolidation for the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

 

(e)The fair value of marketable securities acquired has been assumed to be the carrying value from Anfield Energy’s statement of financial position as at June 30, 2024, which is carried at fair value based on the closing share price and exchange rate of the underlying marketable securities acquired. Changes in fair value of marketable securities that were recorded through profit or loss have been reclassified to other comprehensive income to conform to the Company’s accounting policies in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”).

The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value at October 1, 2024 of the Anfield warrants assumed and Anfield options exchanged.

7.PRO FORMA SHARE CAPITAL

 

After giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in note 6(f), the Company's issued and outstanding share capital would be as follows:

 

   Common Shares   Amount 
Issued and outstanding, June 30, 2024   178,731,980   $362,388,111

8.PRO FORMA BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

 

Pro forma basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 has been calculated based on the actual weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding for the respective periods; as well as the number of IsoEnergy Shares issued in connection with the Transaction as if such shares had been outstanding since January 1, 2023:

 

   Six months ended
June 30, 2024
   Year ended
December 31, 2023
 
Actual weighted average number of the IsoEnergy Shares   177,222,325    115,490,319 
IsoEnergy Shares issued in connection with the Transaction (Note 7)   31,578,972    31,578,972 
Pro forma weighted average number of the IsoEnergy Shares   208,801,297    147,069,291 

 

Potentially exercisable options, warrants, and convertible debentures, and their related impact to the statements of loss, were excluded from the dilutive weighted average number of the IsoEnergy Shares and dilutive loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

Only the basic and diluted loss per share relating to continuing operations has been disclosed, as the basic and diluted loss per share relating to discontinued operations is not considered material to the pro forma financial statements.
