On December 20, 2024, the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (“NNSA”) announced that it had released a Request for Information (“RFI”) for industry input on an AC100 Deployment Demonstration to address the need for a new domestic uranium enrichment capability. This AC100 deployment demonstration will provide a limited early production capability, demonstrate one of the available centrifuge technologies, and reduce risk to meeting the NNSA defense mission requirements. The deployment demonstration will provide NNSA with data required to determine which technology or technologies may be deployed for the full range of NNSA defense mission requirements. This effort is consistent with NNSA’s approach to meet its defense mission requirements by incrementally deploying centrifuge technologies, with candidates including the AC100 centrifuge and the Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (“DUECE”) centrifuge being developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (“ORNL”). NNSA’s incremental approach enables the phase-in of low-enriched uranium (LEU) production capacity as soon as possible to ensure timely delivery of LEU for defense mission requirements. The Company intends to respond to the RFI.

On November 7, 2024, the Company issued, in a Rule 144A offering, 2.25% Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $402.5 million, due November 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.
