 government of the Russian Federation passed the Russian Decree, effective through December 31, 2025, that rescinded TENEX’s general license to export LEU to the United States or to entities registered in the United States. Accordingly, TENEX is required to obtain a specific export license from the Russian authorities for each shipment to Centrus through 2025. Except for the initial delay, TENEX has received specific licenses to satisfy shipments to Centrus in the regular course of business. But Centrus has been informed that there is no certainty whether additional licenses will be issued by the Russian authorities and if issued, whether they will be issued in a timely manner and not rescinded prior to the shipment taking place.

Since the enactment of the Import Ban Act and through the issuance of the Russian Decree, TENEX has continued to implement the TENEX Supply Contract while we pursue waivers from the DOE. However, we do not know what future actions, including in response to the Russian Decree, TENEX might take.

On April 15, 2025, the President of the United States signed an Executive Order initiating a Department of Commerce investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, to determine whether imports of processed critical minerals, including uranium, and their derivative products threaten to impair national security.

The results of the investigation could result in an imposition of, or increase in tariffs, on these products or other trade restrictions from our international suppliers which could significantly increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. The administration may impose tariffs before the outcome of the referenced investigation or may decide not to impose tariffs if the outcome of the investigation would justify the imposition of tariffs.

In addition to limitations targeted specifically at imports of LEU, the expanding sanctions imposed by the United States and foreign governments on the mechanisms used to make payments to Russia and to obtain services, including transportation and other services, have increased the risk that implementation of the TENEX Supply Contract may be disrupted in the future. For example, effective January 10, 2025, the U.S. Secretary of
