#### USA RARE EARTH, INC.

#### Secondary Offering of<br> 76,311,179 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This prospectus relates to the offer and resale, from time to time, by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus (including their respective transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest (the "<u>Selling Stockholders</u>")) of up to 76,311,179 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "<u>Common Stock</u>"), of USA Rare Earth, Inc. ("<u>us</u>," "<u>we</u>," "<u>New USARE</u>," or the "<u>Company</u>") held by the Selling Stockholders (the "<u>Resale Shares</u>").

6,543,737 Resale Shares were issued to certain of the Selling Stockholders pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated September 26, 2025 (the "LCM <u>SPA</u>"), by and among the Company, Laconia Acquisition Sub Limited, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (the "<u>Buyer</u>"), Indian Ocean Rare Metals Pte Ltd, a Singapore private limited company ("<u>IORM</u>"), IORM's shareholders (the "<u>Sellers</u>") and Grant Smith, solely in his capacity as the Sellers' representative (the "<u>Sellers' Representative</u>"). IORM's operating subsidiary is Less Common Metals Ltd. ("LCM"), a United Kingdom-based manufacturer of specialized rare earth metals and both cast and strip-cast alloys. LCM produces both light and heavy rare earth permanent magnet metals and alloys at scale in its facility in Cheshire, U.K. Pursuant to the LCM SPA, the Buyer acquired from the Sellers all rights, title and interest in and to all of the shares of the Company held by the Sellers, amounting to all of the outstanding and issued shares in the Company (the "<u>LCM Acquisition</u>"). The purchase price paid in the LCM Acquisition was approximately $100,000,000 in cash and the 6,543,737 Resale Shares, subject to the deposit of 1,010,782 shares of Common Stock into escrow and customary deductions for debt, and transaction expenses, as well as customary post-closing adjustments.

69,767,442 Resale Shares were issued to certain of the Selling Stockholders (the "<u>PIPE Investors</u>") pursuant to that Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 26, 2026 (the "<u>PIPE SPA</u>"), by and among the Company and the PIPE Investors (the "<u>PIPE</u>").

We are registering resale of the Resale Shares to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted to the Sellers pursuant to that certain registration rights agreement, dated November 18, 2025, by and among the Company, the Buyer, the Selling Stockholders and the Sellers' Representative (the "<u>LCM Registration Rights Agreement</u>") and to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted to the PIPE Investors pursuant to that certain registration rights agreement, dated January 26, 2026, by and among the Company and the PIPE Investors (the "<u>PIPE Registration Rights Agreement</u>"). The Selling Stockholders may offer all or part of the Resale Shares for resale from time to time through public or private transactions, at either prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Resale Shares through ordinary brokerage transactions, in underwritten offerings, directly to market makers of our securities or through any other means described in the section entitled "*Plan of Distribution*" herein. In connection with any sales of Resale Shares offered hereunder, the Selling Stockholders, any underwriters, agents, brokers or dealers participating in such sales, may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

The shares of Common Stock being registered for resale were acquired at an effective price below the trading price of the shares of Common Stock as of the date of this prospectus. Accordingly, the Selling Stockholders may have an incentive to sell at effective prices lower than the trading price of the Common Stock as of the date of this prospectus and may profit significantly even under circumstances in which our other stockholders would experience losses in connection with their investment. For additional information, see "*Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Securities — The Selling Stockholders acquired or have the right to acquire Common Stock at a price that is less than the market price of the Common Stock as of the date of this prospectus, may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Common Stock declines and may be willing to sell its Common Stock at a price less than stockholders that acquired Common Stock in the public market*."

------

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

The shares of Common Stock being offered for resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus represent approximately 35.0% of our total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of January 28, 2026. Given the substantial number of Resale Shares being registered for potential resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the sale of such Resale Shares by the Selling Stockholders, or the perception in the market that the Selling Stockholders may sell or intend to sell all or a significant portion of such Resale Shares, could increase the volatility of the trading price of our Common Stock or result in a significant decline in the trading price of our Common Stock.

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

We will bear all costs, expenses, and fees in connection with the registration of the Resale Shares. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the Resale Shares.

Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("<u>Nasdaq</u>") under the symbol "USAR." On February 2, 2026, the closing price of our Common Stock was $22.12 per share.

We are an "emerging growth company" and a "smaller reporting company" under the federal securities laws and are subject to reduced disclosure and public reporting requirements. See "*Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.*"

#### Investing in our Common Stock involves risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 11 of this prospectus.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

#### The date of this prospectus is February 11 , 2026.

#### SUMMARY
*This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that is important to you in making an investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should read this entire document carefully, including our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus and the information set forth under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Some of the statements in this prospectus constitute forward*-looking *statements. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward*-Looking *Statements."*

#### Overview
We are a company whose mission is to establish a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that supports the future state of energy, mobility, and national security in the United States. We are developing a rare earth sintered neo magnet ("<u>neo magnet</u>") manufacturing plant in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and intend to establish domestic rare earth and critical minerals supply, extraction, and processing capabilities to both supply our magnet manufacturing plant and market surplus materials to third-parties. Rare earth magnets are critical to various business sectors and industries, including the defense, automotive, aviation, industrial, medical and consumer electronics industries, among others. We are planning to take a broad approach to the industries we serve with the intention of providing high quality sintered neo magnets to a variety of industries and customers. Our intention is to take a structured approach to building out our supply chain to supply feedstock to our magnet facility. While our vision is to ultimately vertically integrate our operations, we will be evaluating each stage of the magnet supply chain to find the optimal approach to maximizing value from mine to magnet. We control rights to the Round Top Deposit, in West Texas. While this deposit could potentially provide significant value to us and our operations over the long term, we initially will be focused on partnering with ex-China suppliers and building or buying the capabilities we need to profitably manufacture high quality neo magnets in the United States. Our long-term approach — from sourcing rare earths, in addition to other critical minerals such as gallium, to producing finished neo magnets — assists in strengthening the United States' control over critical supply chains such as the supply of rare earth minerals and magnets and thus reducing domestic reliance on foreign, particularly Chinese, imports. Our focus on developing domestic rare earth production aligns with national priorities, offering the future potential of a sustainable and secure domestic supply of materials critical to key industries.

#### Warrant Redemption
Effective as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 1, 2025 (the "<u>Warrant Redemption Time</u>"), the Company redeemed all outstanding unexercised Warrants for a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant. From the date the Warrants became exercisable, through the Warrant Redemption Time, an aggregate of 15,881,943 million Warrants were exercised, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $182.6 million. Effective as of the Warrant Redemption Time, 2,618,050 Warrants remained unexercised and were redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per Warrant, or an aggregate of $26,180.50.

#### The September PIPE
On September 29, 2025, pursuant to the September PIPE SPA, we closed the September PIPE in which we issued the Resale Shares to the September PIPE Selling Stockholder, for aggregate gross proceeds of $125,000,000. We intend to use the net proceeds from the September PIPE for general corporate purposes.

#### The LCM Acquisition
On September 26, 2025, the Buyer entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "<u>LCM Acquisition Agreement</u>") with LCM, the Sellers and the Seller Representative. Pursuant to the LCM Acquisition Agreement, at the closing, among other things, Buyer purchased, acquired and accepted from the Sellers all rights, title and interest in and to all of the shares of LCM held by the Sellers, amounting to all of the outstanding and issued shares in LCM. LCM is a UK-based manufacturer of complex alloy systems and metal products, specializing in rare earth elements.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the LCM Acquisition Agreement, November 18, 2025, Buyer paid to the Sellers the aggregate consideration of $100,000,000 in cash and 6.54 million shares of Common Stock, subject to the deposit of 1,010,782 shares of the Company's common stock into escrow and customary deductions for debt, and transaction expenses, as well as customary post-closing adjustments.

#### Expected Government Transactions
On January 26, 2026, we entered into the Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce covering a total of $1.6 billion, including $277 million in direct funding awards under the CHIPS Act and $1.3 billion in senior secured debt with a 15-year term with an expected rate of Treasury +150 bps (collectively, the "<u>Expected U.S. Government Transaction</u>").

As conditions to entry in definitive documentation for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction (the "<u>Definitive Agreements</u>"), we must satisfy certain conditions, including, without limitation: (i) raise at least $500 million from non-federal sources (which we satisfied with the PIPE), (ii) obtain two memoranda of understanding from semiconductor end or midstream users, (iii) obtain neodymium praseodymium oxide and MREC feedstock supply agreements with a term at least through 2027, (iv) exercise a surface purchase option with the Texas GLO, (v) implement certain third-party recommendations and third-party validation of nuclear material licensing requirements at our research and development facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and (vi) define a power infrastructure plan for our magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In addition, the U.S. government's $277 million in Direct Funding Awards includes a condition that we issue to the U.S. government $277 million of common stock (approximately 16.1 million shares issued at $17.17 per share) and the $1.3 billion Senior Secured Loan also requires the issuance of warrants to the government representing an additional 10% of our fully diluted shares outstanding prior to the PIPE (approximately 17.5 million shares with an exercise price of $17.17 per share and a 10-year exercise period).

The Letter of Intent for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction provides, and the Definitive Agreements for such collaboration will provide, that the grant and debt financing from the government will be released to us in phases over time subject to our achievement of specified business milestones related to the development of the Round Top deposit, development and expansion of processing and separation facilities, development and expansion of metal making and strip casting facilities, development and expansion of the magnet manufacturing facility, and obtaining additional equity and debt financing. There are four milestones related to Round Top, relating: to design, scale-up and completion of a definitive feasibility study; early works; solvent extraction; and completion of construction, with targeted achievement dates from December 2026 to December 2028. There are two milestones related to our metal making and strip casting facilities related to: supply, technical feasibility, and construction; and qualification for production and commercialization, with targeted achievement dates from March 2027 to December 2027. There are four milestones related to the development and expansion of our magnet manufacturing facilities relating to: initial production capability and demand validation; and incremental production capability and demand validation, with targeted achievement dates from June 2026 to March 2028. In addition, we will be required to obtain additional financing to meet estimated $4.1 billion of required capex and to establish a $250 million revolving credit facility by December 31, 2026.

In addition to the Letter of Intent for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, we signed a non-binding letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory to collaborate to advance heavy REE separation technologies at our Wheat Ridge lab and Round Top deposit, leveraging digital twin technology.

#### PIPE
On January 28, 2026, pursuant to the PIPE SPA, we closed the PIPE in which we issued 69,767,442 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion. We intend to use the net proceeds from the PIPE for general corporate purposes.

#### Summary Risk Factors
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section entitled "*Risk Factors*" immediately following this prospectus summary, that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and the growth of our business. In particular, the following considerations, among others, may offset our competitive strengths or have a negative effect on our business strategy, which could cause a decline in the price of shares of our Common Stock and result in a loss of all or a portion of your investment:

#### Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Stillwater Facility is under development and is not yet completed, we have not commenced producing and selling neo magnets, and we have no history in commercial operations and the lack of commercial operations limits the accuracy of any forward-looking forecasts, prospects or business outlook or plans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to generate positive cashflow from our expected future business operations. Our long-term success will depend on implementing the business strategy and operational plan of the Company, as well as our ability to generate revenues, achieve and maintain profitability and develop positive cash flows from our magnet production.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may experience time delays, unforeseen expenses, increased capital costs, and other complications while developing our Projects, these could delay the start of revenue-generating activities and increase development costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Until our Round Top Project is capable of satisfying our feedstock needs, if ever, our business is subject to the availability of rare earth oxide and metal feedstock, in quantities and prices that allow us to develop and commercially operate its Stillwater Facility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tariffs by the United States, counter-tariffs by other countries and future changes in tariff policies could adversely affect our results of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in demand for, and prices of, neo magnets, magnet materials, and necessary feedstock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to convert current commercial discussions and/or memorandums of understanding with customers for the sale of our neo magnets and other products into definitive contracts, which may have a negative effect on our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The success of our business will depend, in part, on the growth of existing and emerging uses for neo magnets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An increase in the global supply of neo magnets or, dumping, predatory pricing and other tactics by our competitors or state actors may adversely affect our profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Round Top Project is at the exploration stage and we have not commenced construction or commission of the mine nor related facilities, and the development of the Round Top Project into a producing mine is subject to a variety of risks, any number of which may cause the development of the Round Top Project into a producing mine to not occur, be delayed, or not result in the commercial extraction of minerals.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We operate in a highly competitive industry in a high demand and growth environment and additional manufacturing, refining and mining competitors could result in a reduction in revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in China's or the United States' political environment and policies, including changes in export/import policy may adversely affect our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The production of neo magnets is a capital-intensive business that requires the commitment of substantial resources; if we do not have sufficient capital or other resources necessary to provide for such production, it could negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The amount of capital required for completion and build-out of the Company's Projects may increase materially from our current estimates, and we expect to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Consequently, we depend on our ability to successfully access the capital and financial markets. Any inability to access the capital or financial markets may limit our ability to fund our ongoing operations, execute our business plan or pursue investments that we may rely on for future growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances and acquisitions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A power, water, or other utility disruption or shortage at our Projects could temporarily delay operations and increase costs, which may negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increasing costs, including rising electricity and other utility costs, or limited access to raw materials may adversely affect our profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will need to produce our products to exacting specifications in order to provide future customers with a consistently high-quality product. An inability to meet individual customer specifications would negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Diminished access to water may adversely affect our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Work stoppages or similar difficulties, breakdown in labor relations, or a shortage of skilled technicians and engineers could significantly disrupt our operations and reduce our revenues.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We depend on key personnel for the success of our business. If we fail to retain our key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our desired level of growth and our business could suffer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are subject to certain agreements with government entities that have provided us with certain incentives and favorable financing and contain conditions and obligations, including local investment, job creation, and repayment terms, that, if not complied with, could negatively impact our business or require us to repay that financing or lose access to those incentives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The holders of our preferred stock have certain approval rights over actions taken by the Company, including related to incurring debt. If we are unable to secure those approvals or do so in a timely manner, we may fail to access debt capital when otherwise necessary or advisable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Since its inception, the Company has generated negative operating cash flows and we may experience negative cash flow from operations in the future. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis.

#### Risks Related to Legal, Compliance, and Regulations
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our operations at our Projects are subject, or may become subject, to extensive and costly environmental and other requirements; and current and future laws, regulations and permits impose or may impose significant costs, liabilities or obligations or could limit or prevent our ability to continue our current operations or to undertake new operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will be required to obtain and sustain governmental permits and approvals to develop and operate the Projects, a process which is often costly and time-consuming. Failure to obtain or retain any necessary permits or approvals for our planned operations may negatively impact our business.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Technology
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If we infringe, or are accused of infringing, the intellectual property rights of third parties, it may increase our costs or prevent us from being able to commercialize new products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights. If we fail to adequately enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, our business may be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are dependent upon information technology systems, which are subject to cyber threats, disruption, damage and failure. Any unauthorized access to, disclosure, or theft of personal information we gather, store, or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation. Further, a failure of our information technology and data security infrastructure could adversely affect our business and operations.

#### Risks Related to our Securities
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Certificate of Designation for our Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants each contain "full ratchet" anti-dilution provisions and a VWAP adjustment provision applicable to the conversion price and exercise price, respectively, which result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon conversions or exercises in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants than if the conversions or exercises were effected at the conversion price or exercise price in effect currently.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The requirements of being a public company in the U.S., may strain our resources and divert management's attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that result from being a public company in the U.S. may be greater than we anticipate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our certificate of incorporation provides, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware are the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Preferred Investor Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.

#### Risks Related to the Expected Government Transaction
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Expected U.S. Government Transaction is currently contemplated pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent and remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, satisfaction of conditions precedent, and final government approvals, and there can be no assurance that such documentation will be executed or that the collaboration will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Expected U.S. Government Transaction is expected to be funded in phases over time and is subject to the Company achieving milestones, and there can be no assurance that such milestones will be achieved on the expected timeline or at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• While we may execute Definitive Agreements with the government and receive funding thereafter, there can be no assurances that the authorization and continued support for the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreements will not be modified, challenged or impaired in the future, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Future funding will be required to meet milestones. Our ability to raise additional equity or debt financing may be adversely affected by market conditions, interest rates, investor risk appetite, or macroeconomic factors beyond our control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenues, EBITDA, Free Cash Flows, capacity and production targets are illustrative and are based on assumptions regarding the execution of our operational plans, including production volumes, ramp timing, operating performance and pricing. In addition, target revenues, EBITDA and Free Cash Flows are based on assumed pricing and costs used in our business plan.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Because the government will keep 100% of the equity securities that it is receiving whether or not the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is funded in full or at all, if all or part of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is not funded for any reason, or if the funding is received but subsequently clawed back, and the effective dilution of our other equity holders will be increased materially.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The financial, tax and accounting treatment of the government contemplated by the Definitive Agreements remains uncertain and subject to change.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Definitive Agreements are expected to contain affirmative and negative covenants that may restrict our ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to take actions management believes are important to our long-term strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Given the scarcity of U.S. precedents for transactions such as those contemplated under the Expected U.S. Government Transaction and the government becoming a significant stockholder of the Company, we may experience other adverse consequences resulting from the potential announcement or completion of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction.

#### Risks Related to this Offering by the Selling Stockholders
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sales, or the perception of sales, of our Common Stock, including those registered in this registration statement and those which have previously been registered in separate registration statements, by us or our existing stockholders, including the Selling Stockholders, could cause the market price for our Common Stock to decline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Certain existing stockholders, including the Selling Stockholders, purchased or may purchase, securities in the Company at a price below the trading price of the Common Stock as of the date of this registration statement, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate of return.

#### Risks Related to the LCM Acquisition
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions of LCM, including the anticipated acceleration of our mine-to-magnet strategy, on the anticipated timeline or at all.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our success following LCM Acquisition will depend on the ability to retain LCM's existing customers and supplies, as well as our ability to build relationships with new customers and suppliers.

#### Organizational Structure

#### The diagram below depicts our organizational structure:
![](tflowchart_002.jpg)

#### Corporate Information
Inflection Point was a blank check company incorporated on March 6, 2023 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On March 12, 2025, Inflection Point domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to "USA Rare Earth, Inc." On March 13, 2025, we completed the Business Combination with USARE OpCo. As a result of the Business Combination, we are a holding company, all of whose assets are held directly or indirectly by, and all of whose operations are conducted through, USARE OpCo and whose only direct asset consists of equity ownership of USARE OpCo. As the manager of USARE OpCo, we have all management powers over, and full control of, the business of USARE OpCo, including the power to take all action we deem necessary, appropriate, advisable, incidental, or convenient to accomplish the purposes of USARE OpCo set forth in its A&R Operating Agreement.

Our principal executive office is located at 100 W Airport Road, Stillwater, Oklahoma. Our telephone number is (813) 867-6155. Our website address is *https://www.usare.com/*. Information contained on our website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of our website address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only.

#### Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "<u>JOBS Act</u>"). For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted, and currently intend, to rely on the following provisions of the JOBS Act that contain exceptions from disclosure and other requirements that otherwise are applicable to public companies and file periodic reports with the SEC. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and selected financial data and only two years of related "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*" in our periodic reports and registration statements, including this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "<u>Sarbanes</u><u>-Oxley</u> <u>Act</u>");

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements, and registration statements, including in this prospectus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "<u>PCAOB</u>") regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• December 31, 2028 (the last day of the fiscal year that follows the fifth anniversary of the completion of Inflection Point's initial public offering);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer," as defined in the Exchange Act; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in this prospectus and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in our future filings with the SEC. As a result, the information that we provide to holders of our Common Stock may be different than what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

We have elected to avail ourselves of the provision of the JOBS Act that permits emerging growth companies to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. As a result, we will not be subject to new or revised accounting standards at the same time as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $250 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

#### RISK FACTORS
*An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our securities. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business or results of operations.*

#### Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
***The Stillwater Facility is under development and is not yet completed, we have not commenced producing and selling neo magnets, and we have no history in commercial operations and the lack of commercial operations limits the accuracy of any forward-looking forecasts, prospects or business outlook or plans.***

We have not commenced production of neo magnets at our Stillwater Facility, and we may not be able to secure the necessary feedstock, offtake, or equipment in order to economically produce neo magnets, including from the Round Top Project. We have not realized any revenues to date from the sale of neo magnets or critical minerals, rare earth minerals, or lithium, and our operating cash flow needs have been financed through the incurrence of debt and equity raises and not through cash flows derived from our operations. As a result, we have little historical financial and operating information available to help you evaluate our performance. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon economical development of the Stillwater Facility and production of neo magnets, which is subject to numerous risk factors. Accordingly, we may not realize profits, including in the medium to long term. Additional expenditures are required to construct, complete and install additional neo magnet production equipment and our neo magnet production capabilities might not be able to fully utilize the nameplate capacity of the equipment. In addition, we have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Actual operating costs and economic returns of any and all of our Projects may materially differ from the costs and returns estimated, and accordingly our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be negatively affected. In the near term, our development and growth depends on our ability to: (i) successfully produce magnets at the Stillwater Facility; (ii) secure one or more reliable sources of rare earth feedstock at prices that are acceptable and attractive to us; and (iii) secure one or more neo magnet customers that are willing and able to purchase our neo magnets at prices that are expected to be profitable for us. Delays in the completion of the Stillwater Facility or the Round Top Project could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***We may not be able to generate positive cashflow from our expected future business operations. Our long-term success will depend on implementing the business strategy and operational plan of the Company, as well as our ability to generate revenues, achieve and maintain profitability and develop positive cash flows from our magnet production.***

Our ability to continue with our business plan to produce and sell neo magnets and our future plans regarding the Round Top Project, ultimately depends on our ability to generate revenues, achieve and maintain profitability, and generate positive cash flow from our operations. We cannot assure you that our Projects will result in achieving and maintaining profitability and developing positive cash flows. The economic viability of the Company's future business activities has many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant, prolonged decrease in the price of neo magnets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty in marketing and/or selling neo magnets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significantly higher than expected capital costs to construct and commission our Projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significantly higher than expected feedstock costs to support magnet production in the near term until the Round Top Project is capable of satisfying our feedstock needs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant delays, reductions or stoppages of production activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• shortages of adequate and skilled labor or a significant increase in labor costs;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the introduction of significantly more stringent regulatory laws and regulations and associated delays in permitting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• delays in the availability of necessary equipment, including construction or production equipment.

Our future business activities may change as a result of any one or more of these risks and uncertainties.

***We may experience time delays, unforeseen expenses, increased capital costs, and other complications while developing our Projects, these could delay the start of revenue-generating activities and increase development costs.***

The production of neo magnets and mineral exploration and mining by their nature involve significant risks and hazards, including environmental hazards, as well as industrial and mining accidents. These include, for example, occupational hazards, leaks, ruptures, explosions, chemical spills, seismic events, fires, cave-ins and blockages, flooding, discharges of gasses and toxic substances, contamination of water, air or soil resources, unusual and unexpected rock formation affecting mineralization or wall rock characteristics, ground or slope failures, rock bursts, wildfires, radioactivity and other accidents, incidents, or conditions resulting from mining or manufacturing activities, including, among others, blasting and the transport, storage and handling of hazardous materials. In particular, the production of neo magnets involves the use of heavy equipment and operations at high temperatures. These operations can be dangerous and safety incidents in these operations may cause damage to and loss of equipment, injury or death, monetary losses and potential legal liabilities. Any such incidents could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, there is the risk that relevant regulators may impose fines and work stoppages for non-compliant production or mining operating procedures and activities, which could reduce or halt production or mining until lifted. The occurrence of any of these events could delay or halt production, increase production costs and result in financial and regulatory liability for us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the relevant environmental authorities have issued and may issue administrative directives and compliance notices in the future, to enforce the provisions of the relevant statutes to take specific anti-pollution measures, continue with those measures and/or to complete those measures. The authorities may also order the suspension of part, or all of, our operations if there is non-compliance with legislation. Contravention of some of these statutes may also constitute a criminal offense and an offender may be liable for a fine or imprisonment, or both, in addition to administrative penalties. As a result, the occurrence of any of these events may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Until our Round Top Project is capable of satisfying our feedstock needs, if ever, our business is subject to the availability of rare earth oxide and metal feedstock, in quantities and prices that allow us to develop and commercially operate our Stillwater Facility.***

Our Round Top Project is in its exploration stage and is not currently able to satisfy the feedstock needs necessary for the development and commercial operation of our Stillwater Facility and may never be able to do so. Unless and until our Round Top Project is capable of satisfying our feedstock needs, we will be required to enter into feedstock supply agreements with third-parties. We are in the process of pursuing feedstock supply and offtake arrangements with potential counterparties in an effort to provide adequate sources of feedstock for the purchase of all or substantially all of our production from our Stillwater Facility, once operational, on terms favorable to us. As discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, we have executed feedstock supply agreements with two counterparties. However, they may not be able to provide all of the feedstock which we may require or at economical prices. If we are unable to secure supply agreements that ensure that all of our feedstock needs are met or if we are able to secure such agreements but the counterparties fail to meet their obligations, we may not achieve our goals. If this happens, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

#### Tariffs by the United States, counter-tariffs by other countries and future changes in tariff policies could adversely affect our results of operations.
The U.S. has imposed, and could impose in the future, broad-ranging tariffs on imports from some of its largest trading partners. In retaliation, many countries have imposed, and could impose in the future, counter-tariffs on U.S.-produced items. Tariffs have spurred, and could continue to spur, additional retaliatory moves by affected countries, including by China and the European Union member states.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Tariffs present both positive and negative impacts across our business, but, in the aggregate, based on limited information to date, which may change, we expect that they may produce a net positive impact in light of our U.S. focused manufacturing strategy. However, we also face material risks with respect to tariff policies and the uncertainties and potential changes in such policies. For example, if tariffs are modified or changed in the future or our preliminary information is incorrect, our consolidated results of operations could be materially negatively impacted. In addition, for purposes of our operations, we seek to acquire various materials, supplies and components imported into the U.S., including certain equipment utilized in metal-making, magnet making, and magnet finishing and as a result, we have been adversely impacted by the imposition of trade restrictions on such goods. We may also be adversely impacted if tariffs significantly hurt the economic outlook and negatively impact consumer demand and our ability to raise capital in the future.

#### We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in demand for, and prices of, neo magnets, magnet materials, and necessary feedstock.
Because our revenue is, and will for the foreseeable future be, derived from the production and sale of neo magnets, changes in demand for, and the market price of, and taxes and other tariffs and fees imposed upon such products and their inputs could significantly affect our profitability. Our financial results may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the prices of neo magnets or increases in the prices of necessary feedstock. Neo magnet prices may fluctuate and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, taxes, tariffs, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies on the world market, shipping and other transportation and logistics costs, global and regional supply and demand for neo magnets, potential industry trends, such as competitor consolidation or other integration methodologies, and the political and economic conditions of countries that produce and procure neo magnets. Furthermore, supply side factors have a significant influence on price volatility for critical and rare earth minerals, necessary feedstock, and neo magnet prices. Supply of rare earth minerals, necessary feedstock, and neo magnets is currently dominated by Chinese producers. The Chinese Central Government regulates production via quotas and environmental standards and has and may continue to change such production quotas and environmental standards. Periods of over supply or speculative trading of critical and rare earth minerals can lead to significant fluctuations in the market price of critical and rare earth minerals.

In contrast, extended periods of high commodity prices may create economic dislocations that may be destabilizing to critical and rare earth minerals supply and demand and ultimately to the broader markets. While some periods of high critical and rare earth mineral market prices generally are beneficial to our financial performance if we are producing rare earth minerals, if ever, or if magnet prices rise in concert with such higher mineral prices, strong critical and rare earth mineral prices however also create economic pressure to identify or create alternate technologies that ultimately could depress future long-term demand for neo magnets or increase our feedstock costs, and at the same time may incentivize development of competing mining properties.

Additionally, because the Company is heavily dependent on third parties for feedstock, changes in the demand for, the market price of, or taxes, tariffs, or other fees imposed on such feedstock may affect our ability to acquire our supply needs at an economical price. Changes in the price of feedstock could materially and adversely affect our operations and ultimate financial results.

***We may not be able to convert current commercial discussions and/or memorandums of understanding with customers for the sale of our neo magnets and other products into definitive contracts, which may have a negative effect on our business.***

We do not currently have any contractually committed customers for the planned output and delivery of neo magnets. We are actively working on completing our Stillwater Facility which will, once completed, have the capability to produce neo magnets. Our success depends on our ability to generate revenue and operate profitably, which depends in part on our ability to identify target customers and convert such contacts into meaningful orders or expand on current customer relationships. We do not currently have any revenue or definitive off-take or sales agreements with customers in place. Although we are in periodic discussions with potential customers regarding potential offtake agreements, there is no assurance that the parties will be able to reach an agreement or that we will be able to produce and deliver the required neo magnets in accordance with the customer's required specifications and timing requirements. If we are unable to negotiate, finalize and maintain such agreements and satisfy the conditions thereto in order to enter into definitive agreements, or are only able to do so on terms that are unfavorable to us, we will not be able to generate any revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

We anticipate that in some cases our products will be delivered to certain customers on an early trial deployment basis, where such customers have the ability to evaluate whether our products meet their performance requirements before they commit to meaningful orders of our products. If our targeted customers do not commit to making meaningful orders, or at all, it could adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations. Our customers may require protections in the form of price reductions and similar arrangements that allow them to require us to deliver additional product or reimburse them for losses they suffer as a result of our late delivery or failure to meet agreed upon performance specification. Delays in delivery of our products, unexpected performance problems or other events could cause us to fail to meet these contractual commitments, resulting in delays in obtaining necessary materials used in our production process, defects in material or workmanship or unexpected problems in our manufacturing process, which could lead to unanticipated revenue and earnings losses and financial penalties. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial results.

Prior to reaching expected production rates at the Stillwater Facility, we intend to enter into short-and long-term sales contracts with new customers. However, there can be no assurance that these customers will enter into sales contracts for our products. Even if we do enter into offtake and/or sales agreements, we may fail to deliver the product required by such agreements or may experience production costs in excess of the fixed price to be paid to us under such agreements. The failure to enter into such contracts may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

#### The success of our business will depend, in part, on the growth of existing and emerging uses for neo magnets.
Our strategy is to produce and sell neo magnets, which are used in existing and emerging technologies, such as hybrid and electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics, medical equipment, military equipment and other high-growth, advanced motion technologies. The success of our business accordingly depends on the continued growth of these end markets and successfully commercializing neo magnets, in such markets. If the market for these existing and emerging technologies does not grow as we expect, grows more slowly than we expect, or if the demand for our products in these markets decreases, then our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. In addition, the market for these technologies, particularly in the automotive and wind turbine industry, tends to be cyclical, which exposes us to increased volatility, and it is uncertain as to how such macroeconomic factors will impact our business.

A prolonged or significant economic contraction in the United States or worldwide could put downward pressure on market prices of neo magnets. Protracted periods of low prices for neo magnets could significantly reduce revenues and the availability of required development funds in the future. This could cause substantial reductions to, or a suspension of, magnet production operations, impair asset values and reduce our results of operations and financial condition.

Demand for our products may be impacted by demand for downstream products incorporating neo magnets, including hybrid and electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics, medical equipment, military equipment and other high-growth, advanced motion technologies, as well as demand in the general automotive and electronic industries. Lack of growth or changes in these markets may adversely affect the demand for our products. Any unexpected costs or delays in the commercialization of neo magnets or any of our other expected products, or less than expected demand for the critical existing and emerging technologies that use neo magnets, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

***An increase in the global supply of neo magnets or, dumping, predatory pricing and other tactics by our competitors or state actors may adversely affect our profitability.***

The pricing and demand for neo magnets is affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including growth of economic development and the global supply and demand for neo magnets. China is projected to continue to account for a substantial portion of global neo production in the near future. China dominates the manufacture of metals and neo magnets from rare earths, capabilities that are not currently materially present in the United States, and the Chinese Central Government regulates production via quotas and environmental standards. Over the past few years, there has been significant restructuring of the Chinese markets in line with China Central Government policy. Assuming that we reach anticipated production rates for neo magnets and other planned downstream products and subsequently become fully operational and integrated, increased competition may lead our competitors to engage in predatory pricing or other behaviors designed to inhibit our further downstream integration. Any increase in the amount of neo magnets

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

or related products available in the market, including those exported from other nations would result in increased competition and may result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of potential market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our profitability. As a result of these factors, we may not be able to compete effectively against current and future competitors.

***The Round Top Project is at the exploration stage and we have not commenced construction or commission of the mine nor related facilities, and the development of the Round Top Project into a producing mine is subject to a variety of risks, any number of which may cause the development of the Round Top Project into a producing mine to not occur, be delayed, or not result in the commercial extraction of minerals.***

We do not have declared mineral resources as defined under Item 1300 and have not yet begun to extract minerals from the Round Top Project. The Round Top Deposit might not be able to be commercially mined and our ongoing exploration programs may not result in the development of profitable commercial mining operations. Few properties or deposits that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses will be required to complete the Round Top Project. We may not be able to develop the Round Top project into an operating mine and doing so may not result in the commercial extraction of mineral deposits. There are many factors that may result in the Round Top Project not reaching completion or production, including failure to obtain adequate funding, failure to successfully complete a pre-or a definitive feasibility study that the project could profitably produce rare earth minerals, failure to meet lease related timelines, failure to satisfy other operational risks regarding obtaining adequate power, water, expertise and human resources, failure to obtain and sustain the necessary permits for operations and other aspects of the business of operating the Round Top Project. We may never reach commercial or profitable production of rare earth minerals. Even if the Round Top Project is mined, we may not realize profits from our exploration or development activities in the short, medium, or long term. The actual risks that we will face in the future in connection with the Round Top Project are unknown at this time, but may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The preliminary and definitive feasibility studies, when delivered, may not support the economic viability of the Round Top Project moving forward, and the assumptions used in the studies to underpin the viability of the Round Top Project (including, but not limited to, the prices of critical minerals, rare earth minerals or lithium) may not remain accurate in the future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We are in the process of developing a flow sheet with respect to the processing of rare earth minerals from our assets in the Round Top Project, but we may not be able to do so. If we are unable to develop a flow sheet that results in profitable production, our business and results of operations may be harmed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• An increase in the global supply of rare earth magnets or critical and rare earth minerals and lithium related products, dumping, predatory pricing and other tactics by our competitors or state actors may adversely affect our profitability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• When compared to many industrial and commercial operations, mining exploration and development projects are high risk and subject to uncertainties. Each mineral resource is unique and the nature of the mineralization, and the occurrence and grade of the minerals, as well as behavior of the mineral resource during mining, are unpredictable. Any mineral resource estimates may be materially different from mineral quantities we may recover, any life-of-mine estimates may prove inaccurate and market price fluctuations and changes in operating and capital costs may render mineral resources uneconomic to mine. Uncertainty and/or error in our estimates of minerals in the Round Top Deposit could result in lower-than-expected revenues and higher-than-expected costs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The mining and production of rare earth and critical minerals and lithium and related products is a highly competitive industry in a high demand and growth environment and additional rare earth and critical mineral and lithium manufacturing, refining and mining competitors could result in a reduction in revenue.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The imposition of tariffs related to rare earths and other critical minerals and a resulting trade dispute could disrupt the market for our products.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The mining and production of rare earth and critical minerals and lithium and related products is a capital-intensive business that requires the commitment of substantial resources; if we do not have sufficient capital or resources to provide for such activities, it could negatively impact our business.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The performance of the Round Top Project will depend on its ability to reach favorable production rates for the separation of rare earths.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The revenue generated by the Round Top Project may be negatively impacted by possible competition from substitutions for critical and rare earth minerals and lithium.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our continued growth depends on our ability to obtain commercial deployment of our mineral processing and purification technology, or the identification of third-party technologies or processes, and the ability of any such technology and/or processes to efficiently process and purify one or more feedstocks of mixed rare earth mineral concentrates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated, and future development activities may not result in profitable mining, processing or production operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Round Top Project has no operating history on which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Before operations commence, any projections we may produce are based upon estimates and assumptions made at the time they were prepared. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, our actual operating results may differ materially from any forecasted results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our resource estimates, if any, may change significantly when new information or techniques become available. In addition, by their very nature, resource estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. As further information becomes available through additional fieldwork and analysis, our estimates, if any, are likely to change and these changes may result in a reduction in our resources. These changes may also result in alterations to our development and mining plans, which may, in turn, adversely affect our operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We face opposition from organizations that oppose mining which may disrupt or delay our Round Top Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We will be required to obtain and sustain governmental permits and approvals to develop and operate the Round Top Project, a process which is often costly, time-consuming and somewhat uncertain as to outcome. These permits may include permits related to disposal of radioactive mineral waste, which will depend on how we conduct our processing operations in the future as well as what thresholds (regarding whether a permit is required or not) are set by the government at that point in time. Failure to obtain or retain any necessary permits or approvals for our planned operations may negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our mining rights are held by one of our subsidiaries, which as of December 31, 2024, is owned approximately 81% by the Company and approximately 19% by a minority member of the applicable subsidiary. If the minority member does not meet its capital contribution requirements, then we would need to raise additional funds to cover the minority member's shortfall in connection with the Round Top Project in exchange for additional equity in the subsidiary. Additionally, if the value of the equity of the minority member increases then the rate of dilution of the minority member's equity in the subsidiary will decrease. Further, our interests may not align at all times with such minority member and divergence of interests may negatively impact our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A third-party has obtained prospecting permits from the GLO for land in close proximity to our Round Top Project, including land for which we have an active surface lease. There is a possibility for the third-party to convert such prospecting permits into mineral leases and, if converted, such mineral leases would potentially impact our ability to conduct our operations as currently planned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Land reclamation and mine closure may be burdensome and costly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Because of the dangers involved in the mining of minerals, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We and our management do not have experience operating a mine and may not have a complete or accurate understanding of the risks we may face in the future related to the Round Top Project.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

***We operate in a highly competitive industry in a high demand and growth environment and additional manufacturing, refining and mining competitors could result in a reduction in revenue.***

The rare earth magnet production and critical and rare earth minerals mining and processing markets are capital intensive and competitive. Production of neo magnets, and critical and rare earth minerals is dominated by our Chinese competitors. These competitors may have greater financial resources, as well as other strategic advantages to operate, maintain, improve and possibly expand their facilities. Additionally, our Chinese competitors have historically been able to produce at relatively low costs due to domestic economic and regulatory factors, including less stringent environmental and other governmental regulations and lower labor and benefit costs. For instance, many of our Chinese competitors dispose of the waste material from beneficiation in wet tailings dams, which are significantly less expensive to operate and potentially more harmful to the environment than the dry tailings method that we would expect to employ. Even upon successful completion of our planned business stages and/or Projects, if we are not able to achieve our anticipated costs of production, then any strategic advantages that our competitors may have over us, including, without limitation, lower labor, compliance and production costs, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Some of our competitors have made, or may make, acquisitions or enter into partnerships or other strategic relationships to achieve competitive advantages. In addition, new entrants not currently considered competitors may enter our market through acquisitions, partnerships or strategic relationships. We expect these trends to continue as demand for neo magnets and critical and rare earth materials increases. Industry consolidation may result in competitors with more compelling product offerings or greater pricing flexibility than we have, or business practices that make it more difficult for us to compete effectively, including on the basis of price, sales, technology or supply. These competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our business.

#### Changes in China's or the United States' political environment and policies, including changes in export / import policy may adversely affect our business.
Because of the current dominance of China in the critical and rare earth minerals industry, the possibility of adverse changes in trade or political relations with China, political instability in China, increases in labor or shipping costs, the occurrence of prolonged adverse weather conditions or a natural disaster such as an earthquake or typhoon, or the outbreak of another global pandemic disease like COVID-19 could severely interfere with our industry and would have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Our sales may be adversely affected by the current and future political environment in China and the policies of the China Central Government. China could oversupply our markets in the United States and elsewhere with either cheaper magnet products or rare earth minerals or feedstock. China has historically heavily subsidized its domestic rare earth producers with respect to both rare earth feedstock and magnets. The United States government has called for substantial changes to foreign trade policy with China and has from time to time raised (as well as has proposed to further raise in the future), tariffs on several Chinese goods. China has at times retaliated with increased tariffs on United States goods, or the ban of exports of rare earth technologies and feedstock to other countries such as the United States. While some impacts of Chinese trade policy may be beneficial for our business, any changes in United States trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, including China, resulting in trade wars which could likely result in increased volatility in the prices of rare earth and critical minerals, necessary feedstock, and neo magnets. Furthermore, unless and until these dynamic changes in favor of the increased competitiveness of domestic production, domestic production may not be economically viable in the global market place. As we are heavily dependent upon third-party feedstock unless and until our Round Top Project becomes a producing mine capable of satisfying our feedstock needs, if ever, and as China currently dominates the global supply of rare earth feedstock necessary for the production of neo magnets, any changes in United States and China relations, including through changes in policies by the Chinese government could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, including: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, governmental royalties, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

***The production of neo magnets is a capital-intensive business that requires the commitment of substantial resources; if we do not have sufficient capital or other resources necessary to provide for such production, it could negatively impact our business.***

Neo magnet production requires large amounts of capital, and long-term production and processing requires significant capital investment, working capital, and ongoing maintenance expenditure. We expect to materially increase our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to begin production of neo magnets and support the growth of our business and operations. We do not currently have sufficient capital to fund our anticipated capital expenditures. We will need to raise additional capital (debt or equity) to complete or fund our Projects. Our business plan is based on, among other things, expectations as to capital expenditures and if we are unable to fund those capital expenditures or the level of necessary capital expenditures increases above our current expectations, we will not achieve the targets set forth in our business plan or be able to develop currently contemplated or future capital projects or be able to continue production at cost-effective levels. We may not be able to raise additional capital (debt or equity) to complete or fund our projects. Furthermore, any such reduction in capital expenditure may cause us to forego some of the benefits of any future increases in commodity prices, as it is generally costly or impossible to resume production immediately or complete a deferred expansionary capital expenditure project once delayed, which may adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

***The amount of capital required for completion and build***-out ***of our Projects may increase materially from our current estimates, and we expect to raise further funds through equity or debt financing, joint ventures, production sharing arrangements or other means. Consequently, we depend on our ability to successfully access the capital and financial markets. Any inability to access the capital or financial markets may limit our ability to fund our ongoing operations, execute our business plan or pursue investments that we may rely on for future growth.***

Until commercial production is achieved from our Projects, we will continue to incur operating and investing net cash outflows associated with including, but not limited to, build out and growth of our Stillwater Facility, maintaining and acquiring properties, undertaking ongoing activities and the funding obligations to develop the assets of our Projects. We will require additional capital to fund our ongoing operations, complete our Stillwater Facility, and — in connection with our Round Top Project — explore and define rare earth mineralization and establish any future mining or rare earth manufacturing operations. Such additional funding may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, or at all.

In order to finance our future ongoing operations and future capital needs, we will require additional funds through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. Depending on the type and terms of any financing we pursue, shareholders' rights and the value of their investment in our ordinary shares could be reduced. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of our ordinary shares, the market price of our ordinary shares could be negatively impacted. New or additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. In addition, if we issue secured debt, the holders of the debt would have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of shareholders until the debt is paid. Interest on such debt would increase costs and negatively impact operating results.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing, as needed, at competitive rates, our ability to fund our current operations and implement our business plan and strategy will be affected, and we would be required to reduce the scope of our operations and scale back our exploration, development and mining programs. There is, however, no guarantee that we will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding which will provide us with sufficient funds to meet our objectives, which may adversely affect our business and financial position. Certain market disruptions may increase our cost of borrowing or affect our ability to access one or more financial markets. Such market disruptions could result from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse economic conditions, including inflationary factors and recessionary fears;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse general capital market conditions, including rising interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• poor performance and health of the neo magnets industry in general;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• bankruptcy or financial distress of neo magnet companies or marketers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant decrease in the demand for neo magnets; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse regulatory actions that affect our exploration and construction plans or the use of our current and planned products generally.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

If additional capital is not available in sufficient amounts or on a timely basis, the Company will experience liquidity problems, and the Company could face the need to significantly curtail current operations, change our planned business strategies and pursue other remedial measures. Any curtailment of business operations would have a material negative effect on operating results, the value of the Company's outstanding common and preferred shares and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

#### Any failure by management to manage growth properly could negatively impact our business.
Future growth may place strains on our financial, technical, operational and administrative resources and cause us to rely more on project partners and independent contractors, thus, potentially adversely affecting our financial position and results of operations. We may not be successful in upgrading our technical, operational and administrative resources or increasing our internal resources sufficiently to provide certain of our services currently provided by third parties or which will be necessary in the future. Our inability to achieve or manage growth may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

#### We are or may be subject to risks associated with strategic alliances and acquisitions.
We have entered into and may in the future enter into strategic alliances, including joint ventures or minority equity investments, with various third parties to further our business purpose from time-to-time. These alliances could subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information, non-performance by the third party and increased expenses in establishing new strategic alliances, any of which may materially and adversely affect its business. We may have limited ability to monitor or control the actions of these third parties and, to the extent any of these strategic third parties suffer negative publicity or harm to their reputation from events relating to their business, we may also suffer negative publicity or harm to its reputation by virtue of its association with any such third party.

In addition, we may acquire additional assets, products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to its existing business, if appropriate opportunities arise. In addition to a potential requirement for shareholder approval, we may also have to obtain approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the acquisitions and to comply with any applicable laws and regulations, which could result in increased delay and costs, and may derail its business strategy if we fail to do so. For example, our recent LCM Acquisition required approval from the United Kingdom ("U.K.") Secretary of State under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 ("NSIA").

Further, future acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses into us (including LCM) may require significant attention from our management and could result in a diversion of resources from its existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business operations. Acquired assets or businesses may not generate the expected financial results and may require additional investments in the acquired business after closing. Acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the occurrence of significant goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant.

#### A power or other utility disruption or shortage at our Projects could temporarily delay operations and increase costs, which may negatively impact our business.
Our facilities currently rely on electricity and other utilities each provided by a single utility company in West Texas and North-Central Oklahoma, respectively. Instability in electrical or other utility supply could cause sporadic outages and brownouts. Any such outages or brownouts could have a negative impact on our production. As a result, our revenue could be adversely impacted and our relationships with our customers could suffer, adversely impacting our ability to generate future revenue and otherwise perform our contractual obligations. In addition, if power to any of our Projects is disrupted during certain phases of our production processes, we may incur significant expenses that may adversely affect our business.

#### Increasing costs, including rising electricity and other utility costs, or limited access to raw materials may adversely affect our profitability.
We use significant amounts of electricity and other utilities, including water, in our operations at our Projects and such usage will increase as we increase production. We also use significant amounts of raw materials, whether rare earth feedstock or other raw materials such as chemical reagents used to process rare earth oxides. We will need to purchase

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

utilities and raw materials in the open market and as a result, we could be subject to significant volatility in cost and availability. We may not be able to pass increased prices of such utilities or raw materials through to our customers in the form of price increases. If the Round Top Project is not completed, operative, and commercial, we will be wholly reliant on third-party sources for feedstock for neo production which could be costly and damaging to results of operations. A significant increase in the price or decrease in the availability of these utilities or raw materials, could materially increase our operating costs and adversely affect our profit margins and production volumes.

***Fluctuations in transportation costs or disruptions in transportation services or damage or loss during transport could decrease our competitiveness or impair our ability to deliver products to our customers.***

We will need to transport our products to our future customers wherever they may be located. Finding affordable and dependable transportation is important because it allows us to supply customers around the world. Labor disputes, embargos, government restrictions, work stoppages, pandemics, derailments, damage or loss events, adverse weather conditions, other environmental events, changes to rail or ocean freight systems or other events and activities beyond our control could interrupt or limit available transport services, which could result in customer dissatisfaction and loss of sales potential and could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

***We will need to produce our products to exacting specifications in order to provide future customers with a consistently high-quality product. An inability to meet individual customer specifications would negatively impact our business.***

Upon commencing commercial operations at our Stillwater Facility, we need to produce neo magnets to meet customer needs and specifications and to provide customers with a consistently high-quality product and to meet ever-stricter purity requirements. An inability to perfect the neo magnet production process to the level necessary in order to meet individual customer specifications may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, customer needs and specifications may change with time. Any delay or failure in developing processes to meet changing customer needs and specifications may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, natural disasters, could also impact the facilities of our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to deliver our product to our customers or our customer's demand for our products.

#### Diminished access to water may adversely affect our operations.
Processing of rare earth oxides requires significant amounts of water. Any disruption in the process or loss of access to adequate water sources could prompt the need for significant access to fresh water. Additionally, once we complete the Round Top Project and our Stillwater Facility, we will require an even greater amount of water for our separation and extraction operations, including additional fresh water. With respect to the Round Top Project, we maintain and operate one water supply well field, which currently contains two wells, for potable and process water and own and/or lease land and wells in another water supply well field that we may be able to operate in the future. Any disruption to our current process or decrease in available water supply may have a material adverse effect on our operations and our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, future regulation or industry best practices may require more complex water reuse and recycling processes, which may increase operating costs.

***Work stoppages or similar difficulties, breakdown in labor relations, or a shortage of skilled technicians and engineers could significantly disrupt our operations and reduce our revenues.***

A work stoppage by any of the third-parties providing services in connection with construction at our Projects could significantly delay our Projects, especially our Stillwater Facility, and disrupt our operations, reduce our revenues and materially adversely affect our results of operations. Efficient production of critical minerals and rare earth products using modern techniques and equipment requires skilled technicians and engineers. In addition, our optimization and eventual downstream efforts will significantly increase the number of skilled operators, maintenance technicians, engineers and other personnel required to successfully operate our business. In the event that we are unable to hire, train and retain the necessary number of skilled technicians, engineers and other personnel there could be an adverse impact on our labor costs and our ability to reach anticipated production levels in a timely manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

***We depend on key personnel for the success of our business. If we fail to retain our key personnel or if we fail to attract additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to achieve our desired level of growth and our business could suffer.***

We highly value and depend on the contributions of our senior management and key personnel, particularly our experts with respect to magnet production. Our success continues to depend largely upon the performance of key officers, employees and consultants who have advanced us to our current stage and contributed to our potential for future growth. The market for qualified talent has become increasingly competitive, with shortages of qualified talent relative to the number of available opportunities being experienced in all markets where we conduct our operations. The ability to remain competitive by offering higher compensation packages and programs for growth and development of personnel, with a view to retaining existing talent and attracting new talent, has become increasingly important to us and our operations in the current climate. We may not be able to replace our senior management or key personnel (including personnel that are key to magnet production) with persons of equivalent expertise and experience within a reasonable period of time or at all if one or more of our senior management and key personnel are not retained, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain additional personnel. Any prolonged inability to retain key individuals, or to attract and retain new talent as we grow, could have a material adverse effect upon our growth potential and prospects. Additionally, we have not purchased any "key-man" insurance for our directors, officers or key employees.

***We are subject to certain agreements with government entities that have provided us with certain incentives and favorable financing and contain conditions and obligations, including local investment, job creation, and repayment terms, that, if not complied with, could negatively impact our business or require us to repay that financing or lose access to those incentives.***

We have been offered incentives by the State of Oklahoma, as well as the city of Stillwater, Oklahoma, to locate and operate our Projects, especially our Stillwater Facility. These incentives include cash grants, development financing at favorable terms, certain tax exemptions and rights to participate in government-subsidized jobs programs, among other things. If we do not comply with certain conditions and obligations in any such agreements, the governmental entities may terminate the respective agreement under which the incentives are to be provided, potentially resulting in the Company being required to repay certain funds and/or losing access to the applicable incentives and subsidized jobs programs. For more information on these agreements with government entities, see the section entitled "*Business — Government Programs and Grants*".

***Our business may be adversely affected by force majeure events outside our control, including labor unrest, civil disorder, war, subversive activities or sabotage, extreme weather conditions, fires, floods, tornados, explosions or other catastrophes, epidemics or quarantine restrictions.***

We may be impacted by natural disasters, wars, health epidemics or pandemics or other events outside of our control. For example, our Stillwater Facility is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, which is in the geographical area known as "tornado alley". If major disasters such as tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, health epidemics or pandemics, floods or other events occur, or our information system or communications network breaks down or operates improperly, our ability to continue operations at our Projects may be seriously damaged, or we may have to stop or delay production and shipment of our products. We may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of our control, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

#### Our success depends on developing and maintaining relationships with local communities and stakeholders.
Our ongoing and future success depends on developing and maintaining productive relationships with the communities surrounding our Projects, including those people who may have rights or may assert rights to certain of our properties and other stakeholders in our operating locations. Local communities and stakeholders may be dissatisfied with our activities or the level of benefits provided, which may result in legal or administrative proceedings, civil unrest, protests, direct action or campaigns against us. Any such occurrence could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, as well as our ability to commence or continue exploration or mine development activities.

***Since its inception, USARE OpCo has generated negative operating cash flows and we may experience negative cash flow from operations in the future. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.***

Since its inception, USARE OpCo has generated negative operating cash flows and we may experience negative cash flow from operations in the future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus, have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. USARE OpCo's independent registered public accounting firm has included in its report for the year ended December 31, 2024 an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have also been prepared on a going concern basis. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, other factors, our ability to achieve our revenue forecasts and our ability to raise additional capital through sales of our securities, including this offering, and incurrence of debt, as needed to fund future growth. Our future operations are dependent upon the identification and successful completion of equity or debt financings and the continued achievement of profitable operations at an indeterminate time in the future. We may not be successful in completing equity or debt financings or in achieving profitability. The financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments relating to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

#### Risks Related to Legal, Compliance, and Regulations
***Our operations at our Projects are subject, or may become subject, to extensive and costly environmental requirements; and current and future laws, regulations and permits impose or may impose significant costs, liabilities or obligations or could limit or prevent our ability to continue our current operations or to undertake new operations.***

We are subject, or may be subject in the future, to numerous and detailed, federal, state and local environmental laws, certifications, regulations and permits, including, without limitation, those pertaining to employee health and safety, air emissions, water usage, wastewater and stormwater discharges, air quality standards, GHG, emissions, water usage and pollution, waste management, plant and wildlife protection, handling and disposal of radioactive substances, remediation of soil and groundwater contamination, land use, reclamation and restoration of properties, the discharge of materials into the environment, procurement of certain materials used in our operations and groundwater quality and availability. These requirements may result in significant costs, liabilities and obligations, impose conditions that are difficult to achieve or otherwise delay, limit or prohibit current or planned operations. These requirements may in the future result in the exploration and development in connection with our Round Top Project being delayed, limited or prevented, and development operations may be curtailed. Failure to comply with these laws, regulations and permits, including as they evolve, may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the issuance of injunctions to limit or cease operations, fines, the suspension or revocation of permits and other sanctions or the loss of support from key stakeholders. Pursuant to such requirements, we may also be subject to third-party claims, including for damages to property or injury to persons arising from our operations. Moreover, environmental legislation and regulation, as well as the expectations of stakeholders, are evolving in a manner which may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, cessation of operations, more stringent environmental assessments, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Any changes in these laws, regulations or permits (or the interpretation or enforcement thereof) or any sanctions, damages, costs, obligations or liabilities in respect of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business and/or the results of our operations and financial condition.

***We will be required to obtain and maintain governmental permits and approvals to develop and operate the Projects, a process which is often costly and time-consuming. Failure to obtain or retain any necessary permits or approvals for our planned operations may negatively impact our business.***

We are required to obtain and renew governmental permits and approvals for our Projects in connection with any exploration and development activities that we may in the future undertake and, prior to mining any mineralization that we discover, we may be required to obtain additional governmental permits and approvals that we do not currently possess or anticipate. Obtaining and renewing any of these governmental permits is a complex, time-consuming and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

uncertain process involving numerous jurisdictions, multiple government agencies, public hearings and possibly costly undertakings. The timeliness and success of permitting efforts are contingent upon many variables, some of which are not within our control, including the interpretation of approval requirements administered by the applicable governmental authority as well as the time required for, and the outcome of, any necessary environmental impact assessment.

We may not be able to obtain or renew permits or approvals that are necessary to our planned operations, or we may discover that the cost and time required to obtain or renew such permits and approvals exceeds our expectations. Any unexpected delays, costs or conditions associated with the governmental approval process could delay our planned exploration, development and mining operations, which in turn could materially adversely affect our prospects, revenues and profitability. In addition, our prospects may be adversely affected by the revocation or suspension of permits or by changes in the scope or conditions for use of any permits obtained.

For example, while many of the permits required for development of the Round Top Project come, or are expected to come, from the State of Texas, it is possible that the project will require a permit from the federal governments, such as a permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. If the project requires a federal permit, the project will be subject to environmental review under the NEPA. In that circumstance, in addition to additional permitting review, NEPA also provides an additional avenue for opponents to challenge the project.

For example, in addition to the permits that we have been issued to date, we are required to obtain other permits and approvals before construction or operations related to zoning, rezoning, construction mining, mineral concentration and chemical manufacturing. To obtain certain permits, we may be required to conduct environmental studies and collect and present data to governmental authorities pertaining to the potential impact of our current and future operations upon the environment and to take steps to avoid or mitigate those impacts. The permitting rules, and interpretation thereof, are complex and have generally become more stringent over time. In some cases, the public (including environmental interest groups) has rights to comment upon, and submit objections to, permit applications and environmental impact statements prepared in connection therewith, and otherwise participate in the permitting process, including challenging the issuance of permits, validity of environmental impact statements and determinations and performance of permitted activities. Accordingly, permits required for our operations, including our Projects, may not be issued, maintained, exchanged, amended or renewed in a timely fashion or at all, or may be issued or renewed upon conditions that restrict our ability to conduct our operations economically. Any such failure to obtain, maintain, exchange, amend or renew permits, or other permitting delays or conditions, including in connection with any environmental impact analyses, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Private parties, such as environmental organizations and local residents, frequently attempt to intervene in the permitting process to persuade regulators to deny necessary permits or seek to overturn permits that have been issued. These third-party actions can materially increase the costs of and cause delays in the permitting process and could cause us not to proceed with the development or operation of a property. In addition, our ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop, operate and expand operations will likely depend on our ability to undertake such activities in a manner consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely affected by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities.

#### Our failure to comply with applicable anti-corruption , anti-bribery , anti-money laundering and similar laws and regulations could negatively impact our reputation and results of operations.
The legal and regulatory framework in which we operate is complex, and our governance and compliance policies and processes may not prevent potential breaches of law or accounting or other governance practices. Our operating and ethical codes, among other standards and guidance, may not prevent instances of fraudulent behavior and dishonesty, nor guarantee compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

We are required to comply with anti-corruption laws and regulations imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over our operations, which may include Australian anti-bribery and corruption legislation, as well as the laws of the other countries (for example, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK's Bribery Act 2010) where we do business or have a close connection. These laws and regulations may restrict our operations, trade practices, investment decisions and partnering activities. These and other applicable laws prohibit us and our officers,

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

directors, employees and business partners acting on our behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to "foreign officials" for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. We are subject to the jurisdiction of various governments and regulatory agencies around the world, which may bring our personnel and representatives into contact with "foreign officials" responsible for issuing or renewing permits, licenses or approvals or for enforcing other governmental regulations.

Our failure to successfully comply with these laws and regulations may expose us to reputational harm, as well as significant sanctions, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil penalties, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and debarment from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. Compliance, on the other hand, often adds cost and complexity to the permitting process and subsequent operations. We continuously develop and maintain policies and procedures designed to comply with applicable anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar areas. However, there can be no guarantee that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent violations by our employees or business partners acting on our behalf, for which we may be held responsible, and any such violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Our operations at our Projects are subject, or may become subject, to environmental, health and safety regulations, which could impose additional costs and compliance requirements, and we may face claims and liability for breaches, or alleged breaches, of such regulations and other applicable laws.***

Our operations at our Projects are subject to compliance with various environmental, health and safety laws, regulations, permitting requirements and standards.

We are subject to environmental laws, regulations and permits in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. These environmental laws, regulations, and permits present greater risks if we progress our mining operations. Such regulations would include those relating to, among other things, the removal and extraction of natural resources, the emission and discharge of materials into the environment, including plant and wildlife protection, remediation of soil and groundwater contamination, reclamation and closure of properties, including waste storage facilities, groundwater quality and availability, and the handling, storage, transport and disposal of wastes and hazardous materials. Pursuant to such requirements, we may be subject to inspections or reviews by governmental authorities. Failure to comply with these environmental requirements may expose us to litigation, fines or other sanctions, including the revocation of permits and suspension of operations. We expect to continue to incur significant capital and other compliance costs related to such requirements. These laws, regulations and permits, and the enforcement and interpretation thereof, change frequently and generally have become more stringent over time. If our noncompliance with such regulations were to result in a release of hazardous materials into the environment, such as soil or groundwater, we could be required to remediate such contamination, which could be costly. Moreover, noncompliance could subject us to private claims for property damage or personal injury based on exposure to hazardous materials or unsafe working conditions. In addition, changes in applicable requirements or stricter interpretation of existing requirements may result in costly compliance requirements or otherwise subject us to future liabilities. The occurrence of any of the foregoing, as well as any new environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to our business or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also could be liable for any environmental contamination at, under or released from our or our predecessors' currently or formerly owned or operated properties or third-party waste disposal sites. Certain environmental laws impose joint and several strict liability for releases of hazardous substances at such properties or sites, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. A generator of waste can be held responsible for contamination resulting from the treatment or disposal of such waste at any off-site location (such as a landfill), regardless of whether the generator arranged for the treatment or disposal of the waste in compliance with applicable laws. Costs associated with liability for removal or remediation of contamination or damage to natural resources could be substantial and liability under these laws may attach without regard to whether the responsible party knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants. Accordingly, we may be held responsible for more than our share of the contamination or other damages, up to and including the entire amount of such damages. In addition to potentially significant investigation and remediation costs, such matters can give rise to claims from governmental authorities and other third parties, including for orders, inspections, fines or penalties, natural resource damages, personal injury, property damage, toxic torts and other damages. Our costs, liabilities and obligations relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Additionally, due to the nature of our operations, our employees and contractors are exposed to varying degrees of risk in the workplace. These risks may include exposure to dangerous situations, machinery or materials and/or health hazards and have the potential to result in disease, personal injury or death. We are subject to laws and regulations concerning the health, safety and security of our employees (including third-party personnel) working at sites and persons who are not employed by us but may be directly affected by our operations under our management and, accordingly, must implement adequate health and safety systems and procedures. Health and safety incidents can result in loss of life, losses and liabilities, work stoppages, serious damage to equipment or property or environmental damage. These risk factors can, singularly or in combination, have a material effect on our reputation, results of operations and financial condition. In the event of disease, injury or death arising out of the negligence of an employer or its employees, a risk of civil and, in certain circumstances, criminal litigation exists. In the case of a work-related fatality, an employer may be subjected to criminal charges in a court of law. Furthermore, such incidents can result in citations for violation of various health and safety laws and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and/or prospects.

#### The impacts of climate change may adversely affect our operations and / or result in increased costs to comply with changes in regulations.
Climate change is an international and community concern which may directly or indirectly affect our business and current and future activities. The continuing rise in global average temperatures has created varying changes to regional climates across the world and extreme weather events have the potential to delay or hinder our exploration activities at our mineral projects, and to delay or cease operations at any future mine. This may require us to make additional expenditures to mitigate the impact of such events which may materially and adversely increase our costs and/or reduce production at a future mine. Governments at all levels are amending or enacting additional legislation to address climate change by regulating, among other things, carbon emissions and energy efficiency, or where legislation has already been enacted, regulation regarding emission levels and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. As a significant emitter of GHG emissions, the mining industry is particularly exposed to such laws and regulations. Compliance with such legislation and regulations, including the associated costs, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and our ability to commence or continue our exploration and future development and mining operations.

Changing climate patterns may also affect the availability of water. If the effects of climate change cause prolonged disruption in the delivery of essential commodities, then production efficiency may be reduced, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, climate change is perceived as a threat to communities and governments globally and stakeholders may demand reductions in emissions or call upon companies to better manage their consumption of climate-relevant resources. A number of governments have already introduced or are moving to introduce climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, state/provincial and local levels. Regulations relating to emission levels (such as carbon taxes) and energy efficiency are becoming more stringent. If the current regulatory trend continues, this may result in increased costs at our Round Top Project.

***We are exposed to possible litigation risks, including permit disputes (including in respect of access and/or validity of tenure), environmental claims, occupational health and safety claims and employee claims. Further, we may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future that may result in litigation. Current or future litigation or administrative proceedings could have a negative impact on our business.***

We may become involved in, named as a party to, or be the subject of, various legal proceedings, including regulatory proceedings, tax proceedings and legal actions, relating to personal injuries, property damage, property taxes, land rights, the environment and contract disputes.

The outcome of outstanding, pending or future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and may be determined adversely to us and as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our assets, liabilities, business, financial condition or results of operations. Even if we prevail in any such legal proceeding, the proceedings could be costly, time-consuming and may divert the attention of management and key personnel from our business operations, which could adversely affect our financial condition.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### If we take federal monies, we could become subject to federal regulations. This could delay timing and increase costs.
To date, we have not accepted any federal grants or other monies. The acceptance of federal monies would make the Company and its operations subject to continued compliance with various federal regulations to which the Company is not currently subject. The imposition of any additional federal regulations as a result of accepting any federal monies could delay timing of the expected completion of our Projects and increase our costs. Any such delays or increased costs could harm our business and operations.

#### Changes in tax laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations or financial conditions.
The tax regimes we are subject to or operate under, including income and non-income taxes, are unsettled and may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax laws, regulations, or rulings, or changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations, could materially affect our financial position and results of operations.

For example, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Act, made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including changes to U.S. federal tax rates, additional limitations on the deductibility of interest, both positive and negative changes to the utilization of future NOL carryforwards, and allowing for the expensing of certain capital expenditures. The 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, modified certain provisions of the Tax Act. In addition, on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, or IR Act, among other provisions, imposes a 15% minimum tax on the adjusted financial statement income of certain large corporations and a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases by U.S. publicly traded corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of non-U.S. publicly traded corporations, as well as significant enhancements of U.S. tax incentives relating to climate and energy investments. The exact impact of the Tax Act, the CARES Act and the IR Act for future years is difficult to quantify, but these changes could materially affect our effective tax rate in future periods, in addition to any changes made by new tax legislation.

As we expand the scale of our business activities, changes to the taxation of our activities could increase our overall effective tax rate, increase the amount of taxes imposed on our business, and harm our financial position. Such changes may also apply retroactively to our historical operations and result in taxes greater than the amounts estimated and recorded in our financial statements.

#### Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Technology
***If we infringe, or are accused of infringing, the intellectual property rights of third parties, it may increase our costs or prevent us from being able to commercialize new products.***

There is a risk that we may infringe, or may be accused of infringing, the proprietary rights of third parties under patents and pending patent applications belonging to third parties that may exist in the United States and elsewhere in the world that relate to our rare earth products and processes. Because the patent application process can take several years to complete, there may be currently pending applications that may later result in issued patents that cover our products and processes. In addition, our products and processes may infringe existing patents.

Defending ourselves against third-party claims, including litigation in particular, would be costly and time consuming and would divert management's attention from our business, which could lead to delays in the completion of our Projects and our downstream expansion plans. If third parties are successful in their claims, we might have to pay substantial damages or take other actions that are adverse to our business. As a result of intellectual property infringement claims, or to avoid potential claims, we might:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• be prohibited from, or delayed in, selling or licensing some of our products or using some of our processes unless the patent holder licenses the patent to us, which it is not required to do;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• be required to pay substantial royalties or grant a cross license to our patents to another patent holder; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• be required to redesign a product or process so it does not infringe a third party's patent, which may not be possible or could require substantial funds and time.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

In addition, we could be subject to claims that our employees, or we, have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of third parties.

If we are unable to resolve claims that may be brought against us by third parties related to their intellectual property rights on terms acceptable to us, we may be precluded from offering some of our products or using some of our processes.

***We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights. If we fail to adequately enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, our business may be harmed.***

Much of the technology used in the markets in which we compete is protected by patents and trade secrets, and our commercial success will depend in significant part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent and trade secret protection for our products and methods. To compete in these markets, we rely or may rely on a combination of trade secret protection, nondisclosure and licensing agreements, patents and trademarks to establish and protect our proprietary intellectual property rights, including our proprietary rare earth oxide and magnet production processes that are not currently patented. Our intellectual property rights may be challenged or infringed upon by third parties or we may be unable to maintain, renew or enter into new license agreements with third-party owners of intellectual property on reasonable terms. In addition, our intellectual property may be subject to infringement or other unauthorized use outside of the United States. In such case, our ability to protect our intellectual property rights by legal recourse or otherwise may be limited, particularly in countries where laws or enforcement practices are undeveloped or do not recognize or protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights or our inability to preserve existing intellectual property rights could adversely impact our competitive position and results of operations. The loss of our patents, if and once received, could reduce the value of the related products. In addition, the cost to litigate infringements of our patents (if and once received) or other intellectual property, or the cost to defend ourselves against patent or other intellectual policy infringement actions by others, could be substantial and, if incurred, could materially affect our business and financial condition.

Proprietary trade secrets and unpatented know-how are also very important to our business. We rely on trade secrets to protect certain aspects of our technology, especially where we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. Our employees, consultants, contractors, outside scientific collaborators and other advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to competitors, and confidentiality agreements may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential or proprietary information. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how. Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

***We are dependent upon information technology systems, which are subject to cyber threats, disruption, damage and failure. Any unauthorized access to, disclosure, or theft of personal information we gather, store, or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation. Further, a failure of our information technology and data security infrastructure could adversely affect our business and operations.***

We maintain information necessary to conduct our businesses, including confidential and proprietary information as well as personal information regarding our customers and employees, in digital form. We also use computer systems to deliver our products and services and operate our businesses. Data maintained in digital form is subject to the risk of unauthorized access, modification, exfiltration, destruction or denial of access and our computer systems are subject to cyberattacks that may result in disruptions in service. We use many third-party systems and software, which are also subject to supply chain and other cyberattacks. We attempt to develop and maintain information security programs to identify and mitigate cyber risks but the development and maintenance of these programs is costly and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technology changes and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated. Accordingly, despite our efforts, the risk of unauthorized access, modification, exfiltration, destruction or denial of access with respect to data or systems and other cybersecurity attacks cannot be eliminated entirely, and the risks associated with a potentially material incident remain. In addition, we provide some confidential, proprietary and personal information to third parties in certain cases when it is necessary to pursue business objectives. While

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

we obtain assurances that these third parties will protect this information and, where we believe appropriate, monitor the protections employed by these third parties, there is a risk the confidentiality of data held by third parties may be compromised.

If our information or cyber security systems or data are compromised in a material way, our ability to conduct our businesses may be impaired, we may lose profitable opportunities or the value of those opportunities may be diminished and, as described above, we may lose revenue as a result of unlicensed use of our intellectual property. If personal information of our customers or employees is misappropriated, our reputation with our customers and employees may be damaged, resulting in loss of business or morale, and we may incur costs to remediate possible harm to our customers and employees or damages arising from litigation and/or to pay fines or take other action with respect to judicial or regulatory actions arising out of the incident. Insurance we obtain may not cover losses or damages associated with such attacks or events.

We rely on various information technology systems. These systems remain vulnerable to disruption, damage or failure from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, errors by employees or contractors, computer viruses, cyberattacks, including phishing, ransomware, and similar malware, misappropriation of data by outside parties, and various other threats. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage our systems are under continuous and rapid evolution, and we may be unable to detect efforts to disrupt our data and systems in advance. Breaches and unauthorized access carry the potential to cause losses of assets or production, operational delays, equipment failure that could cause other risks to be realized, inaccurate recordkeeping, or disclosure of confidential information, any of which could result in financial losses and regulatory or legal exposure, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may incur material losses relating to cyberattacks or other information security breaches in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As such threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to modify or enhance any protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

#### Risks Related to our Securities.
***The Certificate of Designation for our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants each contain "full ratchet" anti-dilution provisions applicable to the conversion price and exercise price, respectively, which may result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon conversions or exercises in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants than if the conversions or exercises were effected at the conversion price or exercise price in effect currently.***

The Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of 12% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "<u>Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation</u>") for our Series A Preferred Stock contains "full ratchet" anti-dilution provisions applicable to the conversion prices used in voluntary conversions of Series A Preferred Stock by the holders thereof which provisions require the lowering of the applicable conversion price, as then in effect, to the purchase price of equity or equity-linked securities issued in subsequent offerings at prices less than $10.00 per share. The exercise price of the Preferred Investor Warrants was $12.00 per share of Common Stock, subject to the same anti-dilution and other adjustments as the Series A Preferred Stock. On May 2, 2025, in connection with the closing of the May 2025 PIPE, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the exercise price of the Preferred Investor Warrants, were reduced to $7.00 per share. When the exercise price of the Preferred Investor Warrants is reduced, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of such Preferred Investor Warrants is increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment, the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder for the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock is the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

If in the future, while any of our Series A Preferred Stock or Preferred Investor Warrants are outstanding, we issue securities at an effective Common Stock purchase price that is less than the applicable conversion price of our Series A Preferred Stock or exercise price of our Preferred Investor Warrants, as then in effect, we will be required, subject to certain limitations and adjustments as provided in the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation and the Preferred Investor Warrants, to further reduce the relevant conversion price, which, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock or Preferred Investor Warrants, will result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Series A Preferred Stock or Preferred Investor Warrants, as applicable, which in turn

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

will have a greater dilutive effect on our stockholders, in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock or Preferred Investor Warrants. Further, because the Series A Preferred Stock votes, together with the Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, a reduction in the conversion price will immediately dilute the voting interest of our Common Stock, even if the Series A Preferred Stock is not converted. The potential for such additional issuances may depress the price of our Common Stock regardless of our business performance. We may find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of our Series A Preferred Stock or Preferred Investor Warrants are outstanding.

Further, it is possible that we will not have a sufficient number of available shares to satisfy the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants if the applicable conversion price or exercise price is reduced. If we do not have a sufficient number of available shares for such conversions or exercises, we will be required to increase our authorized shares, which may not be possible and will be time consuming and expensive.

***Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.***

The provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares of Common Stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of us unless such takeover or change in control is approved by our board of directors.

These provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock*. The authorized but unissued shares of our preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of Common Stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Cumulative Voting for Directors*. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, the holders of our Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of our capital stock will be able to elect all of the directors then standing for election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Quorum*. Our Bylaws provide that at all meetings of our board of directors, a majority of the Whole Board (as defined therein) will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Action by Written Consent*. Any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders by such holders; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of our preferred stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate(s) of designation relating to such series of preferred stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Special Meetings of Stockholders*. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock, special meetings of stockholders of for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Chair of our board of directors or by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors that we would have if there were no vacancies on our board of directors, but such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other person or persons.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Advance Notice Procedures.* Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, and for stockholder nominations of persons for election to our board of directors to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring that business or nomination before the meeting. Although our Bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, as applicable, our Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

***The requirements of being a public company in the U.S. may strain our resources and divert management's attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that result from being a public company in the U.S. may be greater than we anticipate.***

Requirements associated with being a public company in the United States requires significant resources and management attention. We are subject to certain reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the other rules and regulations of the SEC, and Nasdaq. We are also subject to various other regulatory requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These rules and regulations have increased our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and have made some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations have made it, and may continue to make it, more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. In addition, as a public company we are required to provide a report from management on our internal control over financial reporting that includes an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls. Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions and fraud. Because of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting might not prevent or detect all misstatements. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud and errors in our financial statements, our reputation and operating results could be materially adversely affected. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs. In addition, complying with rules and regulations and the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies requires substantial attention from our senior management, which could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business. These cost increases and the diversion of management's attention could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are also hiring additional personnel to support our financial reporting function and may face challenges in doing so.

#### If we do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.
If we do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline. The trading price of shares of our Common Stock following the Business Combination has been volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Inflationary pressures, increases in interest rates and other adverse economic and market forces may contribute to potential downward pressures in the trading price of shares of Common Stock. Additionally, any of the risk factors discussed in this prospectus could have a material adverse effect on your investment, and shares of Common Stock may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of shares of Common Stock may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of shares of Common Stock irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq specifically, has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your securities at or above the price at which they were acquired. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our share price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

#### The Preferred Investor Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Common Stock.
The Company has outstanding Preferred Investor Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 3,206,029 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, at a current exercise price of $7.00, subject to adjustment. Such Preferred Investor Warrants, if and when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares and may reduce the market price of the Common Stock.

***Our Certificate of Incorporation provides, subject to limited exceptions, that the courts of the State of Delaware are the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or stockholders.***

Our Certificate of Incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a state court located within the State of Delaware or the federal district court for the District of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that this choice of forum does not apply to any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Finally, our Certificate of Incorporation provides that federal district courts of the United States are the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

While the Delaware Supreme Court has upheld provisions of the certificates of incorporation of other Delaware corporations that are similar to the exclusive forum provision in our Certificate of Incorporation, a court of a state other than the State of Delaware could decide that such provisions are not enforceable under the laws of that state.

The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

#### We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management's attention.
The share price of our Common Stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management's attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

***As an "emerging growth company," we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to "emerging growth companies" will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.***

As an "emerging growth company," we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including not being required to obtain an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which we have elected to do.

We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active market for our Common Stock, our share price may be more volatile and the price at which our securities trade could be less than if we did not use these exemptions.

#### Risks Related to the Expected U.S. Government Transaction
***The Expected U.S. Government Transaction is currently contemplated pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent and remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, satisfaction of conditions precedent, and final government approvals, and there can be no assurance that such documentation will be executed or that the collaboration will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all.***

The Letter of Intent for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is non-binding and remains subject to negotiation and execution of Definitive Agreements, satisfaction of conditions precedent, and final government approvals. There can be no assurance that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Letter of Intent will result in Definitive Agreements, or if Definitive Agreements are reached, that the Expected U.S. Government Transaction will be made on the terms anticipated by the Letter of Intent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we will be able to satisfy the conditions precedent to entering into Definitive Agreements for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that final government approvals will be obtained for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction on the terms anticipated by the Letter of Intent or at all.

***The Expected U.S. Government Transaction is expected to be funded in phases over time and is subject to the Company achieving milestones, and there can be no assurance that such milestones will be achieved on the expected timeline or at all.***

The Letter of Intent for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction provides, and the Definitive Agreements for such collaboration will provide, that the grant and debt financing from the government will be released to us in phases over time subject to our achievement of specified business milestones related to the development of the Round Top deposit, development and expansion of processing and separation facilities, development and expansion of metal making and strip casting facilities, development and expansion of the magnet manufacturing facility, and obtaining additional equity and debt financing. There are four milestones related to Round Top with targeted achievement dates from December 2026 to December 2028: design, scale-up and completion of a definitive feasibility study; early works; solvent extraction; and completion of construction. There are two milestones related to our metal making and strip casting facilities with targeted achievement dates from March 2027 to December 2027: supply, technical feasibility, and construction; and qualification for production and commercialization. There are four milestones related to the development and expansion of our magnet manufacturing facilities with targeted achievement dates from June 2026 to March 2028: initial production capability and demand validation; and incremental production capability and demand validation. In addition, we will be required to obtain additional financing to meet an estimated $4.1 billion of required capex and to obtain a $250 million revolving credit facility by December 31, 2026.

There can be no assurance that such milestones will be achieved on the expected timeline, or at all. If we are unable to meet such milestones, the corresponding funding will not be released to us. Our satisfaction of any given milestone, and receipt of the associated funding, does not guarantee that we will be able to meet any subsequent milestones. Further, our satisfaction of one or more milestones for one project, does not guarantee that we will be able to meet any milestones for the other projects. Construction, development, and expansion of our planned facilities and projects are subject to risks of delays, cost overruns, supply chain disruptions, labor availability constraints, permitting challenges, and other execution risks, which could increase required capital, delay milestone achievement, and adversely affect our financial condition and project economics.

If we do not receive the financing contemplated by the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, or any part of it, due to delays in meeting or failure to meet one or more milestones, our ability to fund our current operations and implement our business plan and strategy will be affected, and we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations and scale back our exploration, development and mining programs unless we are able to obtain alternative financing. Any curtailment of business operations would have a material negative effect on operating results and the value of our outstanding securities.

In addition, if we are unable to meet certain final milestones within two years of the target completion dates, any funding released to us prior to that date will be subject to clawback, which would adversely affect our liquidity, capital resources, and project economics.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

***While we may execute Definitive Agreements with the government and receive funding thereafter, there can be no assurances that the authorization and continued support for the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreements will not be modified, challenged or impaired in the future, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation.***

We expect to enter into Definitive Agreements for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction on substantially the terms set forth in the Letter of Intent. However, given the heightened sensitivity and complexity of contracting with a government entity, particularly in a high profile industry implicating national security, there can be no assurances that terms of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, including the Definitive Agreements once executed, will not be modified, challenged or impaired in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We believe there are multiple factors that may contribute to this uncertainty, including, but not limited to, the interpretation of current and future, and enactment of future, federal and international laws, regulations, administrative actions and rulings, and interpretations and changes to interpretations thereof, whether by a court or within the legislative or executive branches of the federal government; our ability to comply with any conditions or other requirements imposed by such laws, regulations, actions and rulings, and changes thereto; a determination by the legislative, judicial, or executive branches of the federal government that any aspect of Expected U.S. Government Transaction, or the related Definitive Agreements, was unauthorized, void, or voidable; future changes in federal administration and related executive and legislative priorities; the continued availability of Congressional appropriations and Department of Commerce funding; geopolitical developments; and the legal and strategic challenges associated with enforcing the obligations of and seeking performance from a government counterparty, especially in conjunction with the unique defenses and remedies available to the federal government. Furthermore, while the Department of Commerce is expected to be contractually bound under the Definitive Agreements, if reached, for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, no other agency, office or branch of the federal government has made any assurances or will have any obligations under the such Definitive Agreements to actively support, accede to or refrain from challenging, investigating or otherwise impeding the commitments and obligations of the parties to the Definitive Agreements, whether now or in the future. The Expected U.S. Government Transaction may also be challenged by other third parties and are subject to the risk of litigation, both the cost and result of which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

***Future funding will be required to meet milestones. Our ability to raise additional equity or debt financing may be adversely affected by market conditions, interest rates, investor risk appetite, or macroeconomic factors beyond our control.***

Our business plan requires significant additional capital, which may include equity and/or debt financing, beyond the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, and our ability to obtain such capital will depend on market conditions and its operating performance, and may result in higher costs of capital, increased leverage, or dilution to existing stockholders. As a condition of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, we will be required to obtain additional financing to meet estimated $4.1 billion of required capex and to establish a $250 million revolving credit facility by December 31, 2026. Depending on the type and terms of any financing we pursue, stockholders' rights and the value of their investment in our common stock could be reduced. Any additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings. If the issuance of new securities results in diminished rights to holders of common stock, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. New or additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. Interest on such debt would increase costs and negatively impact operating results. In addition, as the debt financing component of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction will be secured, issue secured debt, the government will have a claim to our assets that would be prior to the rights of shareholders until the debt is paid. This may make it more difficult for us to raise additional debt financing on attractive terms, or at all.

If we are unable to obtain additional financing, as needed, at competitive rates, our ability to fund our current operations and implement our business plan and strategy will be affected, and we would be required to reduce the scope of our operations and scale back our exploration, development and mining programs. There is, however, no guarantee that we will be able to secure any additional funding or be able to secure funding which will provide us with sufficient funds to meet its objectives, which may adversely affect our business and financial position. Certain market disruptions may increase our cost of borrowing or affect our ability to access one or more financial markets. Such market disruptions could result from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse economic conditions, including inflationary factors and recessionary fears;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse general capital market conditions, including rising interest rates;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• poor performance and health of the metals and neo magnets industry in general;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• bankruptcy or financial distress of metals or neo magnet companies or marketers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant decrease in the demand for metals or neo magnets; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse regulatory actions that affect our exploration and construction plans or the use of our current and planned products generally.

***Revenues, EBITDA, Free Cash Flows, capacity and production targets are illustrative and are based on assumptions regarding the execution of our operational plans, including production volumes, ramp timing, operating performance and pricing. In addition, target revenues, EBITDA and Free Cash Flows are based on assumed pricing and costs used in our business plan.***

We have set certain targets for Revenues, EBITDA, Free Cash Flows, capacity and production. Such targets were prepared based on numerous variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and may be beyond our control and exclude, among other things, transaction-related expenses. There are significant risks associated with the assumptions used in developing such targets. Investors should make their own assessment of the reasonableness and risks of the assumptions made by management. Operational execution, and the achievement of financial, capacity and production targets, are inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially. Important factors that may affect actual results and results of our operations, or could lead to such targets not being achieved on the timeframe specified, or at all include, but are not limited to: changing content consumption patterns, an evolving competitive landscape, successful management and retention of key personnel and artistic talent, unexpected expenses and general economic conditions. As such, these targets may be inaccurate and should not be relied upon as an indicator of actual past or future results. There can be no assurance that we will achieve its targets even if we complete our planned capital expenditures.

***Because the government will keep 100% of the equity securities that it is receiving whether or not the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is funded in full or at all, if all or part of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is not funded for any reason, or if the funding is received but subsequently clawed back, and the effective dilution of our other equity holders will be increased materially.***

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, as a condition to entry into Definitive Agreements for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, we will be required to issue approximately 16.1 million shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase approximately 17.6 million shares of Common Stock with an exercise price per share of $17.17 and a 10-year exercise period. The warrant will be exercisable at any time and from time to time for a term of ten years. As these issuances are being made at an implied price of $17.17 per share, existing common stockholders will experience substantial dilution of their ownership positions. Further, the government's anticipated equity position in us reduces the voting and other governance rights of stockholders and may limit potential future transactions that may be beneficial to stockholders.

Under the Letter of Intent, the government will retain 100% of such equity securities whether or not the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is funded in full or at all, if all or part of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction is not funded for any reason, or if the funding is received but subsequently clawed back, and the effective dilution to our other equity holders will be increased materially.

In addition, the sale of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, including of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant, could depress the market price of the Common Stock and could impair its ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### The financial, tax and accounting treatment of the government contemplated by the Definitive Agreements remains uncertain and subject to change.
Given both the novelty and complexity of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, and the ongoing negotiation of Definitive Agreements, our initial analysis of the financial, tax and accounting implications of its commitments and obligations in connection with the Expected U.S. Government Transaction has not been completed and may take considerable time and require significant attention from management. Additionally, no assurance can be provided that this initial assessment will not require adjustment or amendment over time due to changes in tax law or regulations, accounting practices and requirements and unforeseen developments in the course of performing under the Definitive Agreements, particularly with respect characterization of payments received from the Department of Commerce, among other considerations. The Definitive Agreements for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction are also expected to be highly integrated, and certain of the obligations under each agreement are expected to contingent upon or impacted by the terms and obligations of the others. If one or more of such agreements, or one or more elements of the transactions, were to be altered, amended or terminated, management would need to assess the financial, tax and accounting implications of such changes, which could be significant, together with any related remedies available to us and the present condition of our business and operations. We are unable to predict, and may not be able to anticipate, either these changes or the impact thereof. Any of the foregoing may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, including, but not limited to, material changes to our financial outlook, recharacterizations, restatements or other modifications of our financial statements or adjustments to previously provided estimates or guidance.

***The Definitive Agreements are expected to contain affirmative and negative covenants that may restrict our ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to take actions management believes are important to our long-term strategy.***

The Definitive Agreements for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction are expected to contain affirmative covenants requiring us to take certain actions and negative covenants restricting our ability to take certain actions.

In addition, the Expected U.S. Government Transaction will be subject to comprehensive, ongoing reporting and disclosure obligations, including financial, operational, cybersecurity, and supply chain information. We also may be required to comply with evolving national security "guardrails," including restrictions on expansion, collaboration, or technology transfer involving certain foreign entities and restrictions on operations, capital allocation, indebtedness, or strategic transactions. These requirements may be subject to broad or changing interpretation, and any violations of such requirements, whether due to administrative error or misunderstanding, could result in suspension, clawback, or termination of funding. Further, the government may require rights to certain intellectual property or data developed with government funding, which could affect our ability to commercialize or protect proprietary technology and information.

Compliance with the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the Definitive Agreements could restrict our ability to take actions that management believes are important to its long-term strategy. If strategic transactions we wish to undertake are prohibited by the Definitive Agreements, our ability to execute its long-term strategy could be materially adversely affected, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations. For example, any requirement to obtain government approval or consent, or to provide notification, could delay or limit future financings, mergers, acquisitions, or asset dispositions.

***Given the scarcity of U.S. precedents for transactions such as those contemplated under the Expected U.S. Government Transaction and the government becoming a significant stockholder of the Company, we may experience other adverse consequences resulting from the potential announcement or completion of the Expected U.S. Government Transaction.***

Given the scarcity of recent U.S. precedents for transactions such as those contemplated by Expected U.S. Government Transaction and of the government becoming a significant stockholder of the Company, it is difficult to foresee all the potential consequences. Among other things, there could be adverse reactions, immediately or over time, from investors, employees, customers, suppliers, other business or commercial partners, foreign governments or competitors. There may also be litigation related to the transaction or otherwise and increased public or political scrutiny with respect to the Company.

#### Risks Related to this Offering by the Selling Stockholders
***Sales, or the perception of sales, of our Common Stock, including those registered in this registration statement and those we have registered in separate registration statements, by us or our existing securityholders could dilute existing stockholders and cause the market price for our Common Stock to decline.***

The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock could dilute existing security holders and such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of the Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

The sale of all or a portion of the securities being offered in this prospectus could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our securities.

In particular, previous registration statements have covered our primary issuance of up to 37,514,143 shares of Common Stock consisting of: (i) up to 15,653,227 shares of Common Stock that are or may become issuable by us upon the exercise of certain Preferred Investor Warrants, assuming solely for this purpose that the exercise price of such Preferred Investor Warrants is $1.00 per share and the number of shares underlying such Preferred Investor Warrants is 15,653,227, which amount represents a good-faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon exercise of such Preferred Investor Warrants, (ii) up to 10,000,000 Earnout Shares that are issuable by us to Eligible Stockholders upon the occurrence of specified events pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement for no additional consideration and (iii) up to 11,860,916 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 695,989 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and assuming solely for this purpose that the conversion price of such Series A Preferred Stock is $1.00, which amount represents a good-faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

As a result of our registration statement that has previously been declared effective, all 37,514,143 shares of Common Stock registered for primary issuance would be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act by persons other than our "affiliates."

Further, as a result of the effectiveness of previous registration statements, after giving effect to transactions after the effective date of such registration statements up to January 28, 2026, the selling securityholders named thereunder (the "<u>Selling Securityholders</u>") can sell up to 62,169,149 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 28.5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or approximately 43.9% of our publicly held shares of Common Stock, as of January 28, 2026, which includes up to 58,036,300 shares of Common Stock held by or issuable to certain holders entitled to resale registration rights pursuant to the March Registration Rights Agreement or other agreements, including: (a) 21,621,988 shares of Common Stock held by certain Selling Securityholders who are former members of USARE OpCo received in exchange for common units (or securities exercisable or convertible into common units) of USARE OpCo as consideration in the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement; (b) 3,125,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Sponsor received upon conversion of 3,125,000 Founder Shares which were initially acquired for approximately $0.004 per share, as a result of the Domestication; (c) up to 11,860,916 shares of Common Stock issuable to certain Selling Securityholders upon conversion of 695,989 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which were issued in exchange for USARE Class A Convertible Preferred Units of USARE OpCo as consideration in the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, taking into account for this purpose, payment-in-kind dividends through March 12, 2028 and assuming, solely for this purpose a conversion price of such Series A Preferred Stock of $1.00, which amount represents a good-faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (d) up to 9,985,296 shares of Common Stock issuable to certain Selling Securityholders upon exercise of Preferred Investor Warrants which were issued in exchange for USARE Class A Preferred Investor Warrants of USARE OpCo as consideration in the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, assuming solely for this purpose, that the exercise price of such Preferred Investor Warrants is $1.00 per share and the number of shares underlying such Preferred Investor Warrants is 9,985,296, which amount represents a good-faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon exercise of such Preferred Investor Warrants; (e) up to 9,004,248 shares of Common Stock issuable to certain Selling Securityholders upon (I) conversion of 397,314 shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by certain investors at the closing of the Business Combination (the "<u>Closing PIPE Investors</u>") and (II) conversion

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

of 131,048 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Michael Blitzer at Closing in exchange for forgiveness of 50% of the Convertible Promissory Note, taking into account for this purpose, payment-in-kind dividends through March 12, 2028 and assuming, solely for this purpose a conversion price of such Series A Preferred Stock of $1.00, which amount represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock; (f) up to 1,402,352 shares of Common Stock issuable to certain Selling Securityholders upon exercise of certain Preferred Investor Warrants, assuming solely for this purpose, that the exercise price of such Preferred Investor Warrants is $1.00 per share and the number of shares underlying such Preferred Investor Warrants is 1,402,352, which amount represents a good-faith estimate of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may become issuable upon exercise of such Preferred Investor Warrants; and (g) 877,500 shares of Common Stock issued to CCM pursuant to the CCM Arrangements; and (ii) up to 4,132,849 Earnout Shares issuable to certain Selling Securityholders, including (a) 4,032,849 Earnout Shares issuable to former members of USARE OpCo and (b) 100,000 Earnout Shares issuable to CCM, upon the occurrence of specified events pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for no additional consideration.

Further, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-290723) (the "<u>September</u> <u>2025 PIPE Registration Statement</u>") to satisfy our obligations under the September 2025 PIPE Registration Rights Agreement to register the resale by the selling stockholder named therein, of up to 8,333,333 shares of Common Stock. After giving effect to transactions after the effective date of such registration statements up to January 28, 2026, up to 6,056,710 shares of Common Stock may still be sold by the selling stockholder named therein, constituting approximately 2.8% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.3% of our publicly held shares of Common Stock, as of January 28, 2026. The September 2025 PIPE Registration Statement became effective on October 27, 2025.

Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, the Selling Stockholders will be able to sell up to 76,311,179 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 35.0% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, or approximately 53.9% of our publicly held shares of Common Stock, as of January 28, 2026.

In the case of the above mentioned registration statements, depending on the price, the public stockholders may have paid significantly more than the selling securityholders for any Common Stock they may have purchased in the open market based on variable market price. All of the securities offered pursuant to each such registration statement may be resold for so long as the applicable registration statement and prospectus are available for use.

The securities being offered in this prospectus or pursuant to the prospectuses in the other registration statements described above could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our securities. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, some of the selling securityholders may still experience a positive rate of return on the securities they purchased due to the price at which such securityholders initially purchased the securities. See the sections of this prospectus entitled "*Selling Stockholders,*" "*— Risks Related to our Securities — The Certificate of Designation for our Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants each contain "full ratchet" anti*-dilution *provisions applicable to the conversion price and exercise price, respectively, which may result in a greater number of shares of Common Stock being issued upon conversions or exercises in the case of Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Investor Warrants than if the conversions or exercises were effected at the conversion price or exercise price in effect currently," and "— Certain existing stockholders, including the Selling Stockholders, purchased or may purchase, Common Stock at a price below the current trading price of such Common Stock, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate of return.*" for additional information on potential dilution as a result of the securities held by the Selling Stockholders and certain other securityholders entitled to registration rights and the potential profits the Selling Stockholders and such other securityholders may experience.

In addition, the shares of our Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale by affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. The number of shares reserved for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan plus the number of shares underlying awards made under the Equity Incentive Plan equals 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register shares of our Common

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock issued pursuant to our equity incentive plans. Such Form S-8 registration statement automatically became effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market.

***Certain existing stockholders, including the Selling Stockholders, acquired or may acquire, Common Stock at a price, or implied price, below the trading price of such Common Stock as of the date of this registration statement, and may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price. Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate of return.***

The Selling Stockholders acquired the Resale Shares at an implied price lower than market prices as of the date of this registration statement and may therefore experience a positive rate of return on their investment, even if our public stockholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment. As a result, the Selling Stockholders are able to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders that acquired their Common Stock in the public market at market prices as of the date of this registration statement. Furthermore, the Selling Stockholders may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of our Common Stock declines. As a result, the Selling Stockholders may be willing to sell their respective shares at a price less than stockholders that acquired their Common Stock in the public market or at higher prices than the price paid by the Selling Stockholders, the sale of which would result in the Selling Stockholders realizing a significant gain even if other stockholders experience a negative rate of return. For example, based on the closing price of our Common Stock of $26.35 on January 27, 2026, the Sellers would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $11.51 per share and the PIPE Investors would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $4.85 per share.

In addition, the selling securityholders named in the registration statements described above purchased their respective securities at prices lower than current market prices and may therefore experience a positive rate of return on their investment, even if our public securityholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment. As a result, such securityholders are able to recognize a greater return on their investment than stockholders acquired in the public market. In particular, even though the closing price of our Common Stock on December 4, 2025 was $17.48, certain of such securityholders are able to recognize a positive return even if the price of our Common Stock subsequently declines significantly, including below the $10.00 offering price of the units offered in the Inflection Point IPO. Furthermore, such securityholders may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of our Common Stock declines significantly. As a result, such securityholders may be willing to sell their securities at a price less than stockholders that acquired their Common Stock in the public market or at higher prices than the price paid by such securityholders, the sale of which would result in the securityholder realizing a significant gain even if other stockholders experience a negative rate of return. For example, in connection with Inflection Point IPO, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, for an aggregate of 6,250,000 Founder Shares that were converted to shares of Common Stock in connection with the Domestication. Even if our trading price declines significantly, the selling securityholders, including the Sponsor and its members, may still have an incentive to sell shares of Common Stock because they purchased the shares at prices lower than the public investors or the current trading price of our Common Stock. For example, based on the closing price of our Common Stock of $26.35 on January 27, 2026, the Sponsor would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $26.35 per share on the shares of Common Stock received in exchange for Founder Shares.

The following table includes information relating to securities that we have registered for resale under prior registration statements, including the purchase price each category of selling securityholder named therein paid for its securities and the potential profit relating to such securities. The following table is in part based off our internal records, is for illustrative purposes only, and the number of securities offered column reflects transactions after the effective date of such registration statements up to December 4, 2025. The table should not be relied upon for any purpose outside of its

illustrative nature. Stockholders who purchased our Common Stock on Nasdaq following the Business Combination may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices they paid and the trading price of our Common Stock when they elect to sell.

#### Risks Related to the LCM Acquisition
***We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions of LCM, including the anticipated acceleration of our mine-to-magnet strategy, on the anticipated timeline or at all.***

We believe that there are significant benefits and synergies that may be realized through combining our existing business and the business of LCM, including accelerating our mine-to-magnet strategy and securing our access to high-quality rare-earth metal and strip cast alloy. However, the effort to realize these benefits and synergies is a complex process and may disrupt our and/or LCM's operations if not implemented in a timely and efficient manner. The full benefits of the acquisition of LCM, including the anticipated synergies, growth opportunities and supply-chain benefits, may not be achieved within the time frame we anticipate or at all. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the LCM Acquisition or to identify all the risks associated with the LCM Acquisition could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, decrease or delay any accretive effect of the LCM Acquisition, and negatively impact the price of our Common Stock and the long-term value of the Company.

In addition, we are required to devote significant attention and resources to successfully align our and LCM's respective business practices and operations. This process and other integration challenges may disrupt our business and limit the anticipated benefits of the LCM Acquisition.

***Our success following completion of the LCM Acquisition depends on the ability to retain LCM's existing customers and supplies, as well as our ability to build relationships with new customers and suppliers.***

Our success following the completion of the LCM Acquisition depends on our ability to retain LCM's existing customers and supplies, as well as our ability to build relationships with new customers and suppliers. The announcement of the LCM Acquisition may create uncertainty among the LCM's customers and suppliers, leading them to re-evaluate their business relationships. Customers may be concerned about potential changes in product offerings, pricing, service quality, or the combined company's ability to meet their needs. Suppliers may have concerns about changes in purchasing volumes, payment terms, or the combined company's financial stability.

If LCM's customers decide to reduce or discontinue their business with the combined company, it could result in a significant loss of revenue. Similarly, if suppliers decide to terminate or renegotiate their agreements, it could lead to increased costs or disruptions in the supply chain. Furthermore, having closed the LCM Acquisition, we may face challenges in integrating and harmonizing customer service and supplier management processes, which could impact the quality of relationships and the ability to achieve operational efficiencies.

Our and LCM's ability to build or maintain strong relationships with customers and suppliers is critical to long-term success. Any failure to retain LCM's customers and suppliers, or to establish and maintain effective relationships with new and existing customers and suppliers, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

#### USE OF PROCEEDS
All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders will be sold by them for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes, and certain legal expenses incurred by them in disposing of their respective shares of Common Stock and we will bear all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of such securities covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees, and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

#### MARKET INFORMATION

#### Market Information
Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "USAR".

#### Holders
As of January 28, 2026, there were 179 holders of record of our Common Stock, 4 holders of record of our Series A Preferred Stock, and 22 holders of our Preferred Investor Warrants. The number of holders of record of our Common Stock does not include a substantially greater number of "street name" holders or beneficial holders whose Common Stock are held of record by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and have no current plans to pay dividends on our Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends daily at the rate of 12% per annum of the Stated Value (if paid in kind), plus the amount of previously accrued dividends paid in kind, or 10% per annum of the Stated Value (if paid in cash), plus the amount of previously accrued dividends. Such dividends will compound semi-annually.

The declaration, amount, and payment of any future dividends on shares of Common Stock is at the sole discretion of our Board, and we may reduce or discontinue entirely the payment of such dividends at any time. Our Board may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax, and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders or by our subsidiaries to us, and such other factors as our Board may deem relevant.

We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of equity interests of USARE OpCo. As the manager of USARE OpCo, we have broad discretion to make distributions out of USARE OpCo. In the event we declare any cash dividend, we expect that we, as the manager of USARE OpCo, would cause USARE OpCo to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover such cash dividends declared by us.

Any financing arrangements that we enter into in the future may include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to pay dividends. In addition, USARE OpCo is generally prohibited under Delaware law from making a distribution to a member to the extent that, at the time of the distribution, after giving effect to the distribution, liabilities of USARE OpCo (with certain exceptions) exceed the fair value of its assets.

#### MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF <br>FINANC IAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIO NS
*Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to "we", "us", "our", "USARE", or the "Company" refer to USA Rare Earth, LLC and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and, after the consummation of the Business Combination, USA Rare Earth, Inc. and its subsidiaries.*

*The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of USARE includes information that USARE's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of USARE's consolidated results of operations and financial condition. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, together with the respective notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward*-looking *statements reflecting our current plans, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward*-looking *statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward*-Looking *Statements" appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.*

*Overview*

Our mission is to establish a rare earth magnet value chain that supports the future state of technology, energy, industrial capability, mobility and national security for the United States and our Allies. We intend to establish domestic heavy rare earth and critical minerals extraction processing, metal making and magnet making, with each link in the chain capable of supplying customer needs and being economically viable. Rare earth mineral based products in the form of rare earth concentrates, oxides, metals and magnets are critical to various business sectors and industries, including the semi-conductors, aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial, medical and consumer industries, among others.

Our vertically integrated approach — from sourcing REE's, in addition to other critical minerals such as gallium, to producing finished neo magnets — assists in strengthening the United States' control over critical supply chains such as the supply of rare earth minerals and magnets and thus reduce domestic reliance on foreign, particularly Chinese, imports. We believe our focus on developing domestic rare earth production aligns with national priorities, offering the future potential of a sustainable and secure domestic supply of materials critical to key industries. For more information, see the section entitled "*Business*" of this prospectus. We have been in the exploration and research stages since our formation and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations.

*Our Business Model*

We acquired the land and other assets comprising the Stillwater Facility to develop it into a magnet production facility and we are in the process of completing our magnet production capabilities at the Stillwater Facility necessary for the initial production of neo magnets.

We control certain mining rights to Round Top Mountain, which is an above-ground mineral deposit near Sierra Blanca, Texas that contains the Round Top Deposit, the mining and extraction of which comprises our Round Top Project. We have not yet begun to extract any minerals from the Round Top Deposit. The development of the Round Top Project involves a high degree of financial risk and uncertainty.

We have not yet commenced production in connection with either our Round Top Project or our Stillwater Facility and, consequently, we do not currently have any operating income or cash flows. Accordingly, we do not currently generate, nor have we realized to date, any revenues.

*Facilities*

Our facilities are comprised of the Stillwater Facilities, the Colorado Facility and the Round Top Project. For more information on the Stillwater Facility, the Colorado Facility and the Round Top Project see the sections entitled "*Business — USARE's Facilities — Stillwater Facility*", "*Business — USARE's Facilities — Colorado Facility*" and "*Business — Description of the Round Top Project*", respectively of this prospectus.

#### Recent Developments
*Expected Government Transactions*

On January 26, 2026, we entered into the Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, covering a total of $1.6 billion, including $277 million in direct funding awards under the CHIPS Act and $1.3 billion in senior secured debt with a 15-year term with an expected rate of Treasury +150 bps.

As conditions to entry in Definitive Documentation for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction (the "**Definitive Agreements**"), we must satisfy certain conditions, including, without limitation: (i) raise at least $500 million from non-federal sources (which we satisfied with the PIPE), (ii) obtain two memoranda of understanding from semiconductor end or midstream users, (iii) obtain neodymium praseodymium oxide and MREC feedstock supply agreements with a term at least through 2027, (iv) exercise a surface purchase option with the Texas GLO, (v) implement certain third-party recommendations and third-party validation of nuclear material licensing requirements at our research and development facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and (vi) define a power infrastructure plan for our magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In addition, the U.S. government's $277 million in Direct Funding Awards includes a condition that we issue to the U.S. government $277 million of common stock (approximately 16.1 million shares issued at $17.17 per share) and the $1.3 billion Senior Secured Loan also requires the issuance of warrants to the government representing an additional 10% of our fully diluted shares outstanding prior to the PIPE (approximately 17.5 million shares with an exercise price of $17.17 per share and a 10-year exercise period).

The Letter of Intent for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction provides, and the Definitive Agreements for such collaboration will provide, that the grant and debt financing from the government will be released to us in phases over time subject to our achievement of specified business milestones related to the development of the Round Top deposit, development and expansion of processing and separation facilities, development and expansion of metal making and strip casting facilities, development and expansion of the magnet manufacturing facility, and obtaining additional equity and debt financing. There are four milestones related to Round Top, relating: to design, scale-up and completion of a definitive feasibility study; early works; solvent extraction; and completion of construction, with targeted achievement dates from December 2026 to December 2028. There are two milestones related to our metal making and strip casting facilities related to: supply, technical feasibility, and construction; and qualification for production and commercialization, with targeted achievement dates from March 2027 to December 2027. There are four milestones related to the development and expansion of our magnet manufacturing facilities relating to: initial production capability and demand validation; and incremental production capability and demand validation, with targeted achievement dates from June 2026 to March 2028. In addition, we will be required to obtain additional financing to meet estimated $4.1 billion of required capex and to establish a $250 million revolving credit facility by December 31, 2026.

In addition to the Letter of Intent for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, we signed a non-binding letter of intent with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory to collaborate to advance heavy REE separation technologies at our Wheat Ridge lab and Round Top deposit, leveraging digital twin technology.

*PIPE*

On January 26, 2026, pursuant to the PIPE SPA, we closed the PIPE in which we issued 69,767,442 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion. We intend to use the net proceeds from the PIPE for general corporate purposes.

*September PIPE*

On September 29, 2025, pursuant to the September PIPE SPA, we closed the September PIPE in which we issued the Resale Shares to the September PIPE Selling Stockholder, for aggregate gross proceeds of $125,000,000. We intend to use the net proceeds from the September PIPE for general corporate purposes.

*The LCM Acquisition*

On September 26, 2025, Buyer, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into the LCM Acquisition Agreement with LCM, the Sellers, and the Sellers' Representative. Pursuant to the LCM Acquisition Agreement, at the closing thereunder, among other things, Buyer purchased, acquired and accepted from the Sellers all rights, title and interest in and to all of the shares of LCM held by the Sellers, amounting to all of the outstanding and issued shares in LCM. LCM was a UK-based manufacturer of complex alloy systems and metal products, specializing in rare earth elements.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the LCM Acquisition Agreement, on November 18, 2025, the Buyer paid to the Sellers the aggregate consideration of $100,000,000 in cash and 6.54 million shares of Common Stock, subject to the deposit of 1,010,782 shares of Common Stock into escrow and customary deductions for debt, transaction expenses and working capital, as well as customary post-closing adjustments.

*Warrant Activities*

The following table presents the number of warrants exercised and related cash received during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Warrant Shares<br>Exercised** | **Cash<br>Received** |
|  | ***(in thousands)*** | ***(in thousands)*** |
|  Investor Warrants | 135 | $1557 |
|  Preferred Investor Warrants | 5844 | 40911 |
|  May 2025 PIPE Warrant | 723 | 5063 |
|  May 2025 Pre-Funded PIPE Warrant | 2164 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total | 8866 | $47531 |

---

Subsequent to the balance sheet date, certain investors exercised warrants, including the exercise of the remaining portion of the May 2025 PIPE Warrant, of which we received approximately $69.9 million.

Effective as of the Warrant Redemption Time, we redeemed all outstanding unexercised Warrants for a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant. Effective as of the Warrant Redemption Time, 2,618,050 Warrants remained unexercised and were redeemed by us for $0.01 per Warrant, or an aggregate of $26,180.50.

*The Business Combination*

We were formerly known as Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II, which was a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on March 6, 2023. We were incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Our Common Stock and Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the symbols "USAR" and "USARW", respectively, on March 14, 2025.

On March 13, 2025, we consummated the previously announced Business Combination as further described in Note 1, "Organization" and Note 3, "Merger Transaction" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 included elsewhere in this prospectus. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("<u>U.S. GAAP</u>"). The Business Combination and other related transactions had several significant impacts on our reported financial position and results, due to the reverse recapitalization treatment.

#### Results of Operations
We have no operating revenues. We are dependent on equity or other external financings to fund our pursuit and development of our consolidated business plans (including magnet production at our Stillwater Facility), to fund our mineral exploration and evaluation operations, our evaluation and intended development of the Round Top Project (collectively, our "R&D" costs), selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs, interest expense and other costs.

As a result, we expect to incur operating losses until such time as either (i) the Stillwater Facility is fully completed and operational to the extent that it generates net profits, or (ii) an economic mineral resource is identified, developed and put into profitable commercial production at the Round Top Project.

*Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024*

*Selling, general and administrative.* The increase in SG&A expenses of $10.6 million was primarily due to an increase in legal services and consulting costs of $4.3 million, stock-based compensation of $2.7 million, which includes modification of stock-based compensation of $1.6 million related to the termination of our former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), employee-related expenses of $1.9 million related to an increase in headcount, recruiting fees of $0.8 million, and other costs of $0.9 million.

*Research and development.* The increase in R&D expenses of $3.3 million was primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses of $1.8 million related to an increase in headcount, and other costs of $1.5 million.

*Other income and expense.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Interest and dividend income*. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to higher balances in our money market funds

*Operating Costs and Expenses*

*General and administrative.* General and administrative decreased by $2.5 million, or 29%, to $6.2 million in 2024 compared to $8.7 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to across-the-board cost reductions initiated in the second quarter of 2024 to conserve cash, including reductions in consulting related expenses, legal and professional fees, facilities costs, travel and entertainment and technology related expenses.

*Other employee compensation.* Other employee compensation decreased by $5.0 million, or 45%, to $6.0 million in 2024 compared to $11.0 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary and bonus related expenses to curtail expenditures due to our cash flow constraints. We reduced our headcount from 41 employees at December 31, 2023 to 30 at December 31, 2024.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

*Mining exploration, development and other.* Mining exploration, development and other decreased by $0.7 million, or 39%, to $1.1 million in 2024 compared to $1.8 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased spending on equipment rental and operational consulting, partially offset by increased spending on consulting for the development of the process flowsheet.

*Equity*-based *Compensation.* Equity-based compensation increased by $0.4 million, or 26%, to $1.7 million in 2024 compared to $1.4 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due to vesting upon satisfaction of certain conditions of a performance-based equity award partially offset by reversal of previously expensed equity-based compensation due to forfeitures and fewer other equity-based awards in 2024 compared to 2023.

*Research and development.* Research and development decreased by $1.3 million, or 82%, to $0.3 million in 2024 compared to $1.6 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an across-the-board expense reduction, including lab supplies due to our cash flow constraints prior to the funding received in the third quarter of 2024.

*Depreciation.* Depreciation decreased by $0.1 million, or 24%, to $0.2 million in 2024 compared to $0.3 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to certain property, plant and equipment becoming fully depreciated during 2024.

*Other Income and Expense*

*Investment income.* Investment income decreased by $78 thousand, or 21%, to $0.3 million in 2024 compared to $0.4 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower balances in our money market funds.

*Impairment of equity investments.* We recorded an impairment in our equity investment in a minerals company in the fourth quarter of 2024. No impairments were recorded in 2023.

*Loss on fair market value of financial instruments.* Loss on fair market value of financial instruments decreased by $0.5 million, or 57%, to $0.4 million in 2024 compared to $0.9 million in 2023. In 2024 we recorded a loss of $0.7 million on the fair value of our derivative liability. This fair market value loss was partially offset by equity investment gains during the first three quarters of 2024 compared to losses of $0.9 million in 2023 due to share price fluctuations of our investment in a publicly traded minerals company.

*Interest expense, net.* Our interest expense, net increased $242 thousand to $319 thousand in 2024 compared to $77 thousand in 2023. The increase in interest expense, net in 2024 is related to a $55 thousand decrease in interest income and $191 thousand increase in the interest expense and amortization of the bond discount related to the Hatch Note (as defined below).

*Gain on fair market value of convertible debt.* We recorded a gain on the fair market value of convertible debt of $16.8 million in 2023 related to recognition of a gain on the conversion of our convertible subscription debt to USARE Class A Units.

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources; Going Concern
*Sources and Uses of Liquidity*

Our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared contemplating the continuation of the Company as a going concern and the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon our ability to continue as a going concern, as described in the following paragraphs and in the section entitled "*Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Since its inception, the Company has generated negative operating cash flows and we may experience negative cash flow from operations in the future. Our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis*" of this prospectus. While our management believes in the viability of our strategy to generate future revenues, control costs and the ability to raise additional funds, our strategy may not be successful. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

we were unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for the consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the statement of financial position classifications used.

We have generated no revenues since inception, continue to incur losses from operations, and have an accumulated deficit. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to continue to raise capital, to implement our business plan, generate sufficient revenues, and to control operating expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $248.0 million, which included a non-cash fair value loss on financial instruments of $216.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $21.1 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a net loss of $16.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, and a net loss attributable to our members of $15.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we used $13.0 million and $21.9 million cash, respectively, in operating activities.

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2025, we had $257.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we received cash of $200.0 million from private investment in public equity investor financing and certain investors exercised 8.87 million warrants, of which we received cash of $47.5 million. During this same period, we recognized interest and dividend income of approximately $2.3 million related to higher cash balances. Furthermore, subsequent to the balance sheet date, we have received from certain investors approximately $256.4 million from the exercise of the May 2025 PIPE Warrants, Preferred Investor Warrants, and Investor Warrants. Additionally, on December 1, 2025, all outstanding Warrants were redeemed.

Although we have sufficient cash on our balance sheet and sufficient cash flow from the September PIPE financings, exercise of warrants, and interest income on our cash balances to handle our operations over the next 12 months, we believe we will still need to raise additional capital to implement our current strategic plan, including current and future acquisitions, installation of manufacturing equipment, purchasing of raw material inventory in advance of production due to long lead times, and to achieve our revenue projections and positive cash flows. In addition, we expect to increase operational costs as we build our infrastructure to handle the forecasted increase production and sales.

On September 29, 2025, we closed the September PIPE and received $125.0 million. On November 18, 2025, under the LCM Acquisition Agreement, we paid approximately $100.0 million as part of the consideration for the LCM Acquisition subject to customary deductions for debt, and transaction expenses, as well as customary post-closing adjustments.

On January 26, 2026, we entered into the Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for the Expected U.S. Government Transaction, covering a total of $1.6 billion, including $277 million in direct funding awards under the CHIPS Act and $1.3 billion in senior secured debt with a 15-year term with an expected rate of Treasury +150 bps.

On January 28, 2026, pursuant to the PIPE SPA, we closed the PIPE in which we issued 69,767,442 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion. We intend to use the net proceeds from the PIPE for general corporate purposes.

Based on our need to raise additional capital, as well as milestones required for our current strategic plan to generate sustainable commercial revenues, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The following presents management's discussion of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

*Operating Activities*

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities increased by $11.6 million to $21.1 million as compared to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $11.6 million increase in net cash used in operating activities, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year, was primarily due to an increase of $14.9 million net loss adjusted for non-cash items, such as the non-cash loss of $217.2 million related to the day one loss under the valuation of the $75.0 million PIPE financing arrangement and the change in fair value of outstanding financial instruments, stock-based compensation of $4.3 million and a non-cash litigation settlement of approximately $1.7 million, and an increase in cash used for vendor payments and prepayment of insurance, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities related to financing, acquisition and payroll costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, our operating activities used $13.0 million of net cash as compared to $21.9 million during 2023. The $8.9 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities during 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to our $9.5 million lower net loss adjusted for non-cash related expenses such as gain on fair market value of convertible debt, impairment for equity investments, depreciation, amortization and equity-based compensation partially offset by the 2023 cash receipts from the TIF Agreement we entered into in 2022. In 2024, to conserve cash until we received funding from Pre-Funding Pipe Financing with certain investors in the third quarter of 2024, we curtailed costs primarily in payments for employee and professional services related expenses as well as research and development. We reduced our headcount from 41 employees at December 31, 2023 to 30 employees at December 31, 2024.

*Investing Activities*

Our Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities increased by $10.9 million to $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $2.5 million for nine six months ended September 30, 2024. The $10.9 million increase in cash used in investing activities, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year, was primarily due to additional investments made for plant improvements and equipment purchases as we execute our strategic business plan and continue to build the manufacturing process at our Stillwater Facility.

Our Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities decreased by $2.7 million, to $3.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, from $6.0 million during 2023. The decrease was primarily due to our decision not to make additional investments on capital expenditures associated with our construction in progress until we raised further capital in the third quarter of 2024.

*Financing Activities*

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased by $253.6 million to $275.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $253.6 million increase in cash provided by financing activities, as

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

compared to the comparable period of the prior year, is primarily due to the $75M PIPE and $125M PIPE financing activities, contributions from the Merger. See *Note 3*, "Merger Transaction" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 included elsewhere in this prospectus, for further discussion of amounts received from financing activities and the Business Combination. Furthermore, subsequent to the balance sheet date, certain investors exercised warrants, including the complete exercise of the remaining portion of the May 2025 PIPE Warrant resulting in gross proceeds of $69.9 million and including approximately $186.5 million from the exercises of the Preferred Investor and Investor Warrants.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, our financing activities provided $19.8 million and $14.1 million of net cash, respectively. In 2024, we received gross cash proceeds of $25.5 million from the issuance of Class A Convertible Preferred Units related to the Pre-Funding Pipe Financing with certain investors. The cash proceeds were offset by payment of securities issuance costs of approximately $5.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we received $13.1 million of cash, net of issuance costs from issuance of USARE Class C-1 Convertible Preferred Units and $1.0 million from debt issuance.

*Hatch Senior Convertible Promissory Note*

On July 28, 2023, USA Rare Earth, LLC and Hatch LTD entered into an unsecured $1.0 million Senior Convertible Promissory Note agreement (the "<u>Hatch Note</u>") with a 10% interest rate, with an original maturity date of July 28, 2025. The interest is payable at maturity. See *Note 11* to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information related to the Hatch Note. The Hatch Note converted into Common Stock at Closing.

#### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than as otherwise described in this prospectus, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

#### Risks and Uncertainties Associated with Future Results of Operations
The Company operates in two industries that are both subject to intense competition, development risk, and changes in U.S. governmental policies related to green energy, defense spending and dependence on foreign suppliers. The Company's operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial and operational risks, as well as the potential risk of business failure.

The magnet technology industry is still in its infancy in the United States, and thus the technology, processes, and capabilities are still being developed. The magnet facility requires substantial capital commitment to complete and there may be unanticipated costs or delays associated with construction. The Company's plans for producing magnets are based on certain estimates and assumptions we have made about our business over the next few years, including the ability to obtain the equipment and materials needed to produce magnets on a timely basis from third party vendors. Due to rapidly rising demand, there is also a risk that substitute products will become available and reduce the need for our type of high-performance magnet.

We have not yet established that the Round Top Deposit contains any commercially exploitable quantities of proven and probable mineral reserves, and we may not be able to do so. Even if the Company does eventually establish commercially exploitable quantities of mineral reserves, the Round Top Deposit may not be developed into a producing mine and the Company may not be able to extract those minerals economically. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk, and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on several factors including the size, grade, and other attributes of the mineral deposit, as well as proximity of the deposit to infrastructure, government regulation, and market prices, among other things. Most of these factors will be beyond the Company's control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral deposit unprofitable.

For additional information see the section entitled "*Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry*."

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The more significant estimates include liability valuations. We have incorporated historical data into the determination of each of these estimates and we have not experienced significant adjustments. We review these assumptions at least annually with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Following are the methods and assumptions used in determining our estimates and an indication of the risks inherent in each.

*Liability Valuations*

The valuation of our warrant and earnout liabilities require significant estimates for volatility and other inputs. We utilize third-party experts to assist in the computation of the warrant and earnout liabilities fair values. Both warrant and earnout liabilities are fair valued using stochastic techniques and simulations including the Black-Scholes and the Monte Carlo simulation models, both taking into consideration the significant estimates.

#### Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
See *Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and *Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies* to our to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

#### Emerging Growth Company Status
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, we will not be subject to the same implementation timing for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of our financials to those of other public companies more difficult.

We expect to retain our emerging growth company status until the earliest of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The end of the fiscal year in which our annual revenues exceed $1.235 billion;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of Inflection Point's public company registration has occurred;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The date on which we qualify as a large accelerated filer.

#### BUSINESS

#### Overview
Our mission is to establish a rare earth magnet value chain that supports the future state of technology, energy, industrial capability, mobility and national security for the United States and our Allies. We intend to establish domestic heavy rare earth and critical minerals extraction processing, metal making and magnet making, with each link in the chain capable of supplying customer needs and being economically viable. Rare earth mineral based products in the form of rare earth concentrates, oxides, metals and magnets are critical to various business sectors and industries, including the semi-conductors, aerospace and defense, automotive, industrial, medical and consumer industries, among others. We are planning to take a broad approach to the industries we serve with the intention of providing high quality rare earth and critical mineral products to a variety of industries and customers. Our vision for our value chain is to both maintain a high level of vertical integration while at the same time ensuring that each link can supply third-party customers and ultimately possess standalone economics. The first link in our value chain includes Round Top Mountain in West Texas, where we control rights to a deposit rich in heavy rare earth and critical minerals. We are currently in the process of developing this deposit with the commencement of our Pre-Feasibility Study in 2026. The second link in the value chain is our Less Common Minerals metal making business, located in Cheshire, UK that has one of the strongest capabilities to process metals and alloys from oxides outside of China. LCM has the capability to make NdFeB and SmCo alloys that are used to make magnets, and we have plans to re-shore LCMs capabilities to the United States. The third link in our value chain is our 310,000 square foot rare earth magnet making facility that we are standing up in Stillwater Oklahoma, which will be focused on making NdFeB magnets. This facility will be capable of making block and finished magnets based on range of grades, sizes, shapes and coatings. Our long-term approach — from sourcing rare earths, in addition to other critical minerals to producing finished NdFeB magnets — assists in strengthening the United States' and our Allies control over critical supply chains such as the supply of rare earth minerals and magnets and thus reducing domestic reliance on foreign, particularly Chinese, imports. Our focus on developing domestic rare earth production aligns with national priorities, offering the future potential of a sustainable and secure domestic supply of materials critical to key industries.

#### History of USARE
USARE OpCo, a Delaware limited liability company, was organized in Delaware in 2019. In connection with its organization, a member of USARE OpCo contributed its rights related to Round Top to the Company.

In May 2021 USARE OpCo completed the acquisition of 80% of the equity interests of Round Top Mountain Development LLC ("<u>RTMD</u>") pursuant to a contribution agreement with USARE OpCo, Texas Mineral Resource Corp. ("<u>TMRC</u>") and RTMD whereby TMRC and USARE OpCo contributed their respective rights and interests in and to Round Top to RTMD. Concurrently, USARE OpCo, TMRC and RTMD entered into a limited liability company agreement of RTMD. As of December 31, 2024, USARE OpCo is the owner of approximately 81% of the equity interests in RTMD.

On the Closing Date, we consummated the Business Combination and Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II was renamed "USA Rare Earth, Inc." As a result of the Business Combination, we are a holding company, all of whose assets are held directly or indirectly by, and all of whose operations are conducted through, USARE OpCo and whose only direct asset consists of equity ownership of USARE OpCo. As the manager of USARE OpCo, we have all management powers over, and full control of, the business of USARE OpCo, including the power to take all action we deem necessary, appropriate, advisable, incidental, or convenient to accomplish the purposes of USARE OpCo set forth in its A&R Operating Agreement

USARE OpCo is the sole owner of USARE Rare Earth Magnets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>Magnet Sub</u>"), which owns, directly or indirectly, the Company's magnet equipment and real estate in Stillwater, Oklahoma comprising the Stillwater Facility.

#### USARE's Facilities

#### Stillwater, Oklahoma Magnet Manufacturing Facility
*<u>Magnet Production.</u>* The Company's magnet production facility is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma (the "<u>Stillwater Facility</u>"). The Stillwater Facility is an industrial facility of approximately 310,000 square feet that was built in 1984, with an addition added in 1988. The Stillwater Facility sits on an approximately 40-acre parcel that is

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

serviced by municipal utilities. The facility, as currently constructed, will allow for the buildout of up to 4,800 tpa nameplate capacity within the current facility. The large lot surrounding the facility can also provide the space to build on new manufacturing capacity or capabilities in the future. USARE purchased the Stillwater Facility in 2022 and has contributed significant capital into the facility to date, including initial acquisition costs, structural improvements, renovations, the purchase of magnet production equipment, and purchase and installation of lab equipment for the Company's in-house Innovations Lab (the "<u>Lab</u>").

The Stillwater Facility contains magnet production equipment, which the Company owns outright. The Company engaged a third-party team with experience utilizing the equipment as independent consultants to assist in the initial installation and testing of the equipment. The Company believes that this equipment, supported by a third-party team who has run it successfully in the past, could help the Company rapidly commission the facility once completed. The Company has ordered the remaining finishing equipment and has begun to build out the infrastructure it needs at the facility to support commercial production with the intention of commissioning the facility in Q1 2026.

In connection with the completion of the Stillwater Facility, the Company is developing its Lab to support the Company's magnet production capabilities and accompanying required assessment of finished product for satisfaction of customer specifications and requirements. On March 31, 2025 the Company announced it has commissioned its Lab and will begin prototyping permanent neo magnets for its customers in the second quarter of 2025. The Lab will further support our objective of completing the first phase of the Stillwater Facility to allow for the initial commercial production of neo magnets in 2026. For phase 1, we are targeting 1,200 tpa of nameplate capacity, which will require significant additional expenditures. We intend to add future capacity in multiple phases over the next few years to ultimately achieve 4,800 tpa nameplate capacity. The speed of that buildout will be based on future customer demand and market conditions. Our plan to sell to a diverse set of customers across a variety of industries is expected to be a differentiator in the market. We also believe that our focus in developing strong, in-house lab capabilities to develop new intellectual property ourselves, as well as together with our customers, to potentially improve magnet technology, will provide a powerful incentive for customers to work with us in the coming years.

*<u>Corporate Offices.</u>* The Company's corporate offices are also located at the Stillwater Facility at 100 W Airport Road, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74075. From this location, the Company manages its overarching business strategy, investor relations, and the development of partnerships with key stakeholders in both the public and private sectors. Oklahoma provides access to a skilled workforce and a business-friendly environment.

#### Colorado Mining Research Facility
The Company's Wheat Ridge, Colorado facility (the "<u>Colorado Facility</u>") is the central hub for the Company's research activities focused on rare earth and critical minerals extraction and separation as well as advanced processing technologies. The Colorado Facility is not a production facility, but rather develops and refines the technologies that, with success, would be applied at the Company's Round Top Project. The current focus of the Colorado Facility's research is the development of separation processes to minimize the use of organic solvents, intended to result in a lower waste profile as compared to alternative separation methods.

The Colorado Facility's work is critical in creating new methods for separating and processing rare earths in a way that is both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable. These efforts have been ongoing, and the facility has successfully separated a number of rare earths, including dysprosium and terbium, among others, from its Round Top Deposit to date. These efforts support the Company's commitment to domestic rare earth production and the long-term stability of the United States' rare earth supply chain.

The Colorado Facility comprises three leased buildings adjacent to each other. The Company renewed its leases on two buildings in February 2025 with both leases expiring in the first quarter of 2028 and the third was leased in November 2025. As further discussed below, the Company holds a radioactive equipment registration issued for the benefit of its Colorado Facility.

#### Round Top Mountain
*<u>Overview.</u>* USARE controls the mining rights to Round Top Mountain, which is an above-ground mineral deposit near Sierra Blanca, Texas that contains a large deposit of rare earths, including both light and heavy rare earths, such as neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium, as well as other critical minerals such as gallium, beryllium and lithium among others (such deposits, collectively, the "<u>Round Top Deposit</u>", and USARE's development there, the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

"<u>Round Top Project</u>," and together with the Stillwater Facility, the "<u>Projects</u>"). One of the most significant aspects of the Round Top Deposit is its deposit of heavy rare earths, which are particularly scarce but critical for the production of high-performance neo magnets. The presence of heavy rare earths in great quantities could become a significant competitive advantage to USARE, and value creator, as heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium are critical to magnet production and tend to be of much higher value in commodity markets due to their rare nature. In contrast to light rare earths, such as those found at Mountain Top in California, heavy rare earths are, in general, significantly harder to source and are primarily mined in China, underscoring the importance of establishing Round Top Deposit as a critical domestic supply of rare earth and critical mineral feedstock. In addition to rare earths, the Round Top Deposit also contains a large deposit of gallium, a critical mineral for semiconductor, computer chip and some military technologies, among others, that were recently banned for export to the United States by China. China is the source of approximately 98% of primary gallium according to a January 2023 USGS Mineral Commodity Summary on gallium. In addition, the deposit holds yttrium, zirconium, and hafnium which are critical minerals in support of semi-conductors and the aerospace and defense industries.

Round Top Mountain is approximately eight miles southeast of Sierra Blanca, Texas. Sierra Blanca, the county seat of Hudspeth County, is itself approximately 85 miles southeast of El Paso, Texas. The Round Top Project's approximate center is located at 31.2766º N, 105.4742º W. Round Top Mountain's location allows access to nearby Interstate 10 and Ranch Road 1111, and potential access to the nearby Union Pacific Railroad which has two main branches approximately three miles from Round Top Mountain. The Company expects Interstate 10 and the Union Pacific Railroad to aid in the future distribution of rare earth and critical minerals once the Company's Round Top Project is fully operational and producing. Although not critical to scaling up its magnet production, the Company intends for its Round Top Project to serve as an additional source of feedstock for its magnet production at the Stillwater Facility, which would help the Company achieve its goals of providing domestic, virgin feedstock for its magnet production.

The Company believes that the integration of the Round Top Project's mine into its operations would not only help it meet growing demand for both domestic rare earth magnets and semi-conductor materials, but also importantly allow it to achieve greater supply chain security, cost control, and independence from foreign suppliers.

For more information about the Round Top Project, see the section entitled "— *Description of the Round Top Project*".

#### Market Opportunity and Growth

#### Science and Construction of Neo Magnets
Neo magnets are one of the most powerful types of permanent magnets commercially available, as noted in a February 2023 report by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security. Neo magnets exhibit strong magnetic properties due to the atomic structure of neodymium, a rare earth, which permits a dense concentration of magnetic field lines. This allows for the production of neo magnets that can produce powerful magnetic fields relative to their size and weight and may be resistant to demagnetization, making them ideal for applications that require both high efficiency and compactness, such as electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and advanced electronics.

The production of neo magnets involves a sophisticated process that includes the alloying of neodymium with iron and boron, followed by additional processing techniques to form the desired magnetic shape and performance. The properties of the magnets can be further enhanced by adding heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium through additional post-sintering processing in a process called "Grain Boundary Diffusion" which can increase the magnets' resistance to heat — a critical factor for high-performance applications. This technological complexity, coupled with the limited availability of key rare earth materials, has made the development and production of neo magnets a highly specialized and strategically important industry.

#### The Rare Earth Magnet Industry: Challenges and Growth Opportunities
The global rare earth magnet industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade according to the 2024 Statistical Review of World Energy by the Energy Institute, driven by the rise of electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and advanced electronics. Neo magnets are crucial to these technologies due to their high magnetic strength and resistance to demagnetization. As nations push globally for cleaner energy solutions and decarbonization, the demand for neo magnets is expected to continue growing significantly as noted by the U.S. Department of Energy in its 2022 supply chain deep dive assessment "Rare Earth Permanent Magnets" (the "<u>DOE Report</u>").

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

However, the industry faces notable challenges. China currently dominates the global supply chain of the world's rare earth production. This creates supply chain vulnerability for other nations, particularly the United States, as geopolitical tensions and export restrictions (such as China's December 2023 rare earth technology export ban) could disrupt access to these critical materials. Additionally, rare earth extraction and processing is generally environmentally challenging, requiring the development of more sustainable and efficient technologies to meet global demand while minimizing potential environmental impact.

Despite these challenges, USARE believes that both the domestic and global rare earth magnet industries are poised for substantial growth. The global shift toward electrification of transportation, the rise of wind energy, and the ongoing demand for advanced electronics create significant opportunities for manufacturers that can establish stable and sustainable supply chains. The automotive industry is a major purchaser of neo magnets, particularly in connection with the production of electric vehicles that require neo magnets for traction motors, which are crucial components to the performance and efficiency of electric cars. As countries set aggressive targets for electric vehicle adoption in an effort to combat climate change, the demand for neo magnets is expected to surge over the next decade, as noted in the DOE Report. Even in a potential scenario of slower growth for electric cars that is now possible in the United States due to the anticipated changing policies of the Trump administration, there are significant growth opportunities for domestic supply of neo magnets in the existing domestic market due to potential instability in supply of rare earth magnets from China. In addition, growth in EV sales globally outside of China and the United States remains robust. Similarly, wind turbines rely on neo magnets for their generators, which convert wind energy into electricity. As governments worldwide set ambitious targets for increasing the share of renewable energy in their power grids, the installation of new wind turbines is expected to rise, further driving the need for neo magnets as noted in the DOE Report. While the recent Trump administration executive order to stop the building of wind turbines on federal lands and offshore may slow down the growth of this industry in the United States, we believe that global growth in wind power outside of China will continue to increase, and existing infrastructure projects in the United States will need to be maintained and have their parts replaced in the coming years. In addition, the use of magnets includes a wide variety of other industries, including industries as diverse as robotics, medicine, semiconductors, computing, power tools, among others. Importantly, the defense industry is a critical consumer of neo magnets, which uses them in precision-guided munitions, radar systems, aerospace technology, and naval craft. As nations invest in not only modernizing their defense capabilities, but also in purchasing from safer domestic supply the demand for domestic neo magnets in defense technologies is expected to continue to grow as noted in the DOE Report.

The Company believes it is well-positioned to capitalize both on existing domestic demand, which is currently sourcing magnets from China, as well as on the anticipated growth in the demand for neo magnets and reduce United States reliance on foreign suppliers.

#### Business Plan

#### Stage I: Feedstock Relationships and Initial Neo Magnet Production
The first stage of the Company's business plan is focused on laying the groundwork for its neo magnet production by predominantly securing essential raw material feedstock through strategic business relationships and launching initial production of neo magnets at its Stillwater Facility. While ultimately the Company intends to satisfy its feedstock needs through the future development of its Round Top Project, the Company does not believe it is critical to near term success and Company intends to source its feedstock needs from third-party suppliers until Round Top is in production.

*<u>*<u>Magnet Making Feedstock Sources</u>*</u>*

As described above, on November 18, 2025, the Company's wholly owned indirect subsidiary acquired LCM pursuant to the LCM Acquisition Agreement. Having consummated the LCM Acquisition, the Company expects to benefit from LCM's established supply of raw materials outside of China and its ability to manufacture specialized rare earth metals and both cast and strip cast alloys. LCM holds a unique position as the only proven ex-China producer of both light and heavy rare earth permanent magnet metals and alloys at scale at its 67,000 square foot production facility in Cheshire, UK. Metals and alloys produced by LCM include Samarium, Samarium Cobalt, Neodymium Praseodymium, Dysprosium, Terbium, Yttrium, Gadolinium, and other critical rare earth metals and metal alloys. LCM is also one of the few companies capable of processing metal oxide feedstocks from both mined and recycled sources.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

The Company has also established a business relationship with a supplier of feedstock to supply a portion of its raw material feedstock to USARE for use in the initial production of the Company's neo magnets. The supplier is a vertically integrated, producer of critical metals and NdFeB alloy (also known as "<u>strip cast</u>") produced from rare earth oxides, with the ability to source rare earth oxides from sources other than China. USARE has entered into a long-term Metal Sales and Tolling Framework Agreement with the supplier, whereby USARE has agreed to purchase 60% of its NdFeB feedstock for phase 1 and 2 of its magnet production capacity from the supplier. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2028, subject to earlier termination by the parties. The purchase price for the strip cast feedstock that USARE purchases from the supplier will be determined in accordance with a set schedule, which ties the purchase price to a relevant index and certain chemical specifications.

The Company intends to establish relationships with additional companies to assist in meeting its planned future feedstock requirements to continue to build out and strengthen its domestic and global supply of rare earths from third-parties until such time that the Round Top Project is able to substantially augment its current supply of heavy rare earths needed for production, and such activities may include rare earth oxide supply agreements once the Company is able to utilize rare earth oxide feedstock for in-house alloy production.

*<u>*<u>Initial Neo Magnet Production</u>*</u>*

Stage I of the Company's business plan includes the completion of the Stillwater Facility, its magnet production facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Upon completion of the facility and the initial production of neo magnets, the Company expects its Stillwater Facility to be one of the first United States-based producers of neo magnets. Magnet production at the Stillwater Facility is currently planned in three phases, starting with 1,200 tpa nameplate capacity in phase 1 and potentially doubling in each subsequent phase to a total planned production of 4,800 tpa nameplate capacity. The Stillwater Facility is expected to initially have a production line with 600 tpa nameplate capacity utilizing currently owned equipment, with a goal to complete the remaining phase 1 capacity (representing a total of 1,200 tpa nameplate capacity in phase 1) in 2026. The Company believes this will make the Stillwater Facility one of the most significant sources of neo magnets outside of China, once complete. Unlike its competitors, the Company is not building its initial lines for a single customer and is instead focused on building a manufacturing facility and capability that is flexible enough) to serve a variety of customers in diverse industries. It is the Company's belief that such an approach will allow it to reach its early revenue targets sooner than it might otherwise would be able to through due to the long qualification process with large automotive clients.

The Company is in the process of engaging potential customers for offtake agreements.

#### Stage II: Scaling Magnet Production and Expanding Business Partnerships
Stage II of the Company's business plan is focused on scaling magnet production at its Stillwater Facility and expanding the Company's business relationships, both with feedstock suppliers and customers. The Company intends to scale magnet production at its Stillwater Facility from 1,200 tpa nameplate capacity in phase 1 through phases 2 and 3 of magnet production capacity, potentially doubling the production of the prior phase, with a target total nameplate capacity of 4,800 tpa. How rapidly the Company will scale is dependent on demand and access to the capital to do so. To support the increased production, the Company intends to (i) expand its partnerships and supply agreements with key industry players, and (ii) develop in-house metal making and strip casting capabilities to support its magnet production, to help provide for the continued and reliable flow of feedstock into the Company's production lines at the Stillwater Facility until its Round Top Project is capable of satisfying the Company's heavy rare earth feedstock needs. These expanded partnerships will help the Company diversify its feedstock supply sources, reduce potential supply chain risks and assist in further securing the Company's position in the neo magnet market.

Additionally, the Company is working to strike a balance between obtaining a sufficiently broad customer base and securing offtake that can jumpstart production, which could come from large manufacturers over time. Over time, the Company will be engaged in discussions with potential customers for offtake agreements. The Company's target customers for offtake could include key players in the semi-conductor automotive, energy, and defense industries, each of which requires a reliable and long-term supply of neo magnets. By seeking to secure multi-year offtake agreements, the Company aims to lock-in demand for its products, minimize market volatility risks and provide for a consistent revenue stream.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Stage III: Mining Development at Round Top Mountain
Stage III of the Company's business plan represents the full realization of the Company's longer-term strategy. In this stage, the Company intends to focus on developing the mining operations at its Round Top Project. The Round Top Project's mine is expected to provide a domestic source of rare earths, feeding directly into the Company's metal-making capability through LCM and ultimately into its Stillwater magnet production facility, as well as selling to the broader rare earth commodity markets. By developing the Round Top Project into an economically producing mine, the Company aims to be able to self-sustain magnet production operations without relying on external sources for heavy rare earth feedstock, while the light rare earths of NdPr are much more readily available on the market. This development is expected to enable the Company to maintain cost efficiencies and quality control over the entire production process. As part of its long-term growth strategy, the Company aims to expand the production capacity of both the Round Top Project and its Stillwater Facility, solidifying the Company's efforts as it seeks to position itself as a key player in the domestic and global rare earth markets. Through the development of the Round Top Project into an economically producing mine, the Company intends to enhance its capacity to meet the rapidly growing demand for rare earth and critical minerals, positioning itself as a leader in support of the U.S. rare earth and critical mineral value chain. If successful, this stage will mark the full vertical integration of the Company's operations from mine to magnet and is expected to open up new markets and revenue streams for the Company. The Company acknowledges that investing in mining deposits such as Round Top holds inherent risks. It is our intention to take a structured and measured approach to the development of the mine. We have currently entered into the prefeasibility study phase of our development of our deposit.

#### Patents, Trademarks, and Licenses
USARE has applied for a United States patent in connection with its methods for metal extraction. This patent application is currently pending. Additionally, the Company utilizes trade secret protection and non-disclosure agreements to protect its proprietary rare earth technology. USARE holds a trademark for its logo. Generally, the Company relies on a combination of trade secret protection, non-disclosure and licensing agreements, patents and trademarks to establish and protect its proprietary intellectual property rights.

#### Government Programs and Grants

#### Tax Incremental Financing
On June 6, 2022, USARE executed a redevelopment agreement providing for TIF Agreement with the Authority, a public trust having as its beneficiary the City of Stillwater, Oklahoma, whereby the Authority has provided the Upfront Assistance to USARE of $7.0 million for the development of the Stillwater Facility. Additionally, entry into the TIF Agreement made the Company eligible to receive a manufacturing and research and development ad valorem tax emption for a period of five years. The Company applied and received approval for the ad valorem tax exemption for the year ending December 31, 2023. After the expiration of the exemption period, the TIF Agreement requires the Authority to disburse to the Company 90% of the incremental ad valorem taxes generated by the ad valorem taxes assessed against the Stillwater Facility and paid by the Company. Under the terms of the TIF Agreement, among other things, the Company is required to complete the Stillwater Facility and in doing so to make an investment of approximately $140 million, including $9.9 million in building and land acquisition costs, $17 million in immediate building improvement construction costs and $113 million in additional building improvements and new equipment purchases, and to employ a specified number of employees at specified levels of median compensation at various stages of the development. Subject to agreed extensions, the Company agreed to commence certain phases of the development of the Stillwater Facility by no later than March 31, 2026, and complete that advanced development by no later than June 30, 2027, subject to certain exceptions. Should the Company default on its obligations under the TIF Agreement and after certain notice, cure periods and possible exceptions, the Authority may terminate the TIF Agreement and could make demand for immediate repayment in full of the Upfront Assistance.

#### Governor's Fund
On April 15, 2022, as restated on July 1, 2024, USARE entered into an agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to receive a $1.2 million award to be used for the renovation of an existing building at the Stillwater Facility (the "<u>Governor's Fund Agreement</u>"), to be paid in $0.6 million increments when the Company had cumulatively spent $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in qualifying costs related to developing the Stillwater Facility by

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

March 31, 2023, and May 31, 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company incurred qualifying costs that exceeded the cumulative $2.0 million threshold specified in the Governor's Fund Agreement. The total award of $1.2 million was requested and received by the Company on April 6, 2023. Per the terms of the Governor's Fund Agreement, the award is subject to repayment if the Company does not invest over $50 million in project, real and personal property improvements (as described in the Governor's Fund Agreement) at the Stillwater Facility as well as comply with employment requirements of creating and fulfilling at least 100 new direct jobs at the Stillwater Facility at specified compensation levels and certain other limited circumstances. The Company is currently seeking to comply with such requirements.

#### Jobs Program
In 2022, USARE was accepted for participation in the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Program ("<u>Jobs Program</u>"), an incentive program that provides qualifying companies quarterly cash rebates of up to 5% of the wages paid for new direct jobs created for a period of up to 10 years, with, in the case of the Company, a maximum payout of approximately $2.8 million, if it makes a qualifying claim for payment under the Jobs Program prior to January 1, 2026 and fulfills certain conditions pursuant to an agreement between Magnet Sub and the State of Oklahoma, dated December 19, 2022 (the "<u>Jobs Program Agreement</u>"). Under the Jobs Program Agreement, the Company must meet or exceed applicable payroll and employee headcount requirements and maintain operations in Oklahoma for a specified period. To date, the Company has not become eligible to make any claims under the Jobs Program.

#### Competition
The Company faces, or is expected to face, significant competition both domestically and globally in the rare earth market, particularly in the production of sintered rare earth neo magnets. The most prominent global competitor is China, which controls a substantial majority of the world's rare earth magnet production and has established dominance in the neo magnet supply chain and magnet production. China's rare earth and magnet industries benefit from extensive government support, allowing Chinese companies to offer rare earths and magnets at subsidized prices, often undercutting other producers. Moreover, Chinese companies have invested heavily in improving their processing capabilities, giving them a technological and cost advantage in the global market. Since December 2023, China has banned the export of such technologies and capabilities. This dominant stronghold poses a challenge for the Company as it seeks to build a vertically integrated domestic supply chain.

Domestically, the Company competes with a small number of companies, including MP Materials Corp. which is operating the only major rare earth mine in the United States and recently began commissioning a 1,000 tpa magnet facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Additionally, there is growing competition from emerging players that are developing innovative technologies for rare earth separation and processing, as well as magnet production. As the demand for rare earth materials and neo magnets grows, the Company will need to not only navigate price competition but also innovate in separation and processing techniques while simultaneously securing long-term customer offtake agreements.

#### Seasonality and Business Cycles
The Company's operations in magnet production, and its planned future operations in mining, are both subject to certain seasonality and business cycles that can affect production output and market demand. These cycles are influenced by external factors such as weather conditions, regulatory changes, fluctuations in raw material prices whether due to changes in supply, demand, or inflation, and market demand for end products such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and defense applications.

The demand for neo magnets can be cyclical. This demand is often driven by customer sentiment and demand, which may align with government policy changes, incentive programs, and general economic cycles. How this cyclicality may or may not affect USA Rare Earth will depend on the concentration of our customers in specific industries as we scale. With our planned strategy of serving a wide range of industries, we believe this cyclicality may be offset by a diverse set of customers in differing industries.

#### Human Capital
The Company's workforce spans multiple states, with employees located in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, California, Colorado, Ohio, and Florida, and encompasses a diverse range of professionals, including engineers, scientists, mining specialists, and manufacturing experts. The Company's leadership is focused on attracting, developing, and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

retaining top talent across these areas to support its mission in building a vertically integrated domestic supply chain for rare earths and rare earth neo magnets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 84 employees. We have not experienced any work stoppages. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are parties to a collective bargaining agreement.

A significant challenge for the Company and the broader rare earth industry is the shortage of experienced magnet production and mining professionals. The specialized nature of magnet production and rare earth mining, processing, and refining requires expertise that has been in decline, particularly in the United States, where magnet production and rare earth mining has been limited for decades. This shortage could present significant obstacles for companies like USARE that are working to establish a vertically integrated, domestic rare earth supply chain. The lack of skilled professionals with the necessary expertise can slow down project timelines, increase operational costs, and foster reliance on international talent.

#### Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
The Company is, or may become, subject to numerous and extensive federal, state and local laws, regulations, permits and other legal requirements applicable to the magnet production, mining and mineral processing industries, including those pertaining to employee health and safety, air emissions, water usage, wastewater and stormwater discharges, air quality standards, greenhouse gas ("<u>GHG</u>") emissions, waste management, plant and wildlife protection, handling and disposal of hazardous and radioactive substances, remediation of soil and groundwater contamination, land use, reclamation and restoration of properties, the discharge of materials into the environment and groundwater quality and availability. Such laws, regulations, permits and legal requirements have had, and will continue to have, a significant effect on our results of operations, earnings and competitive position. Environmental laws and regulations, as well as stakeholder expectations, continue to evolve, which may require us to meet stricter standards and give rise to greater enforcement, result in increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, and result in a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Future laws, regulations, permits or legal requirements, as well as the interpretation or enforcement of existing requirements, may require substantial increases in capital or operating costs to achieve and maintain compliance or otherwise delay, limit or prohibit operations, or other restrictions upon, our current or future operations or result in the imposition of fines and penalties for failure to comply. Complying with this panoply of regulations is complicated and requires significant attention and resources. The Company's employees have a significant amount of experience working with various federal, state and local authorities to address compliance with such laws, regulations and permits; however, we cannot assure you that at all times we have been or will be in compliance with such requirements.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant sums for ongoing operating environmental expenditures, including salaries, and the costs for monitoring, compliance, reporting, pollution control equipment and permitting. In addition, the Company plans to invest significant capital to maintain and upgrade certain infrastructure related to environmental sustainability and safety.

At the Stillwater Facility, the Company currently holds and is implementing a Spill Prevention and Countermeasures Control Plan. At the Round Top Project, the Company has obtained coverage under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Construction Stormwater Permit TXR150000 and maintains the associated Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.

At one or both sites, the Company currently expects that it may need to obtain many or all of the following permits in the future to conduct its business as currently planned:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Radioactive equipment registration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Petroleum storage tank registration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industrial stormwater permit (or coverage under a general stormwater permit)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industrial waste registration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Air emissions permit

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industrial waste water on-site sewage and/or process water discharge permit

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other building and/or construction permits

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Environmental, Health & Safety Laws and Regulations
The numerous and extensive federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations to which the Company is or may be subject include the laws and regulations listed below. Violation of such laws and associated regulatory programs can result in civil, criminal and administrative penalties and substantial liability for the costs of correcting violations and remediating any environmental damage caused by the violations. Under certain statutes, private citizens may bring enforcement suits. We expect to maintain regular communication with regulatory bodies to stay updated on any changes or additional requirements.

*<u>Mine Health and Safety Laws.</u>* To fully adhere to the safety standards enforced by the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("<u>MSHA</u>**"**) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, we plan to develop comprehensive mine safety and health programs in connection with the commissioning of the Round Top Project's mine if and when such commissioning occurs including, but not limited to, regular MSHA inspections and reporting protocols, mandatory MSHA training programs (Part 46/48) for all personnel, implementation of emergency response and hazard mitigation plans, and continuous monitoring of air quality, dust, noise, and other environmental health factors.

*<u>Surface Mining Control and Reclamation.</u>* We may in the future, if and when the Round Top Project is a producing mine, be subject to applicable mining controls and land reclamation requirements. These controls and requirements generally establish operational, reclamation, and closure standards for surface mining operations. It is likely that we will need to meet comprehensive environmental protection and reclamation standards during the course of, and upon completion of, mining activities, and any failure to meet such standards may subject us to fines, penalties, or other sanctions.

*<u>Endangered Species Act.</u>* The Endangered Species Act ("<u>ESA</u>") and comparable state statutes regulate activities that could have an adverse effect on threatened and endangered species, including the habitat and ecosystems upon which they depend. Compliance with ESA requirements can significantly delay, limit, or even prevent the development of projects, including the development of mining claims, and can also result in increased development costs. In addition, the ESA authorizes both civil and criminal penalties for ESA violations and authorizes citizen suits against any person alleged to be in violation of the ESA.

*<u>National Environmental Policy Act.</u>* The National Environmental Policy Act ("<u>NEPA</u>") require agencies to integrate environmental considerations into their decision-making processes by evaluating the environmental impacts of their proposed actions, including issuance of permits to mining facilities, and assessing alternatives to those actions. If a proposed federal action could significantly affect the environment, the agency must prepare a detailed statement known as an Environmental Impact Statement ("<u>EIS</u>"). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "<u>EPA</u>"), other agencies, and any interested third parties may review and comment on the scoping of the EIS and the adequacy of and findings set forth in the draft and final EIS. This process can cause delays in issuance of required permits or result in changes to a project to mitigate its potential environmental impacts, which can in turn impact the economic feasibility of a proposed project.

*<u>Clean Water Act.</u>* The Clean Water Act ("<u>CWA</u>") and comparable state statutes impose restrictions and controls on the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States (or state waters under state laws). The CWA can regulate storm water from mining facilities and require a storm water discharge permit for certain activities. The CWA and regulations implemented thereunder also prohibit discharges of dredged and fill material in wetlands and other waters of the United States unless authorized by an appropriately issued permit. CWA regulations and controls generally have become more stringent over time, and it is possible that additional restrictions will be imposed in the future.

*<u>Safe Drinking Water Act.</u>* The Safe Drinking Water Act and comparable state statutes, the Underground Injection Control program, and related state-administered programs regulate the drilling and operation of subsurface injection wells.

*<u>Clean Air Act.</u>* The Clean Air Act ("<u>CAA</u>") and comparable state statutes govern the emission of air pollutants from many stationary and mobile sources, including mining, beneficiation, and processing activities. Our operations may produce air emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants, from stationary equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources, such as trucks and heavy construction equipment, that are subject to review, monitoring, control requirements and emission limits under the CAA and state air quality laws. New sources, equipment or process enhancements, including with respect to the growth of our operations and Stage II optimization projects, may require

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

additional permits, and existing sources may be required to incur capital costs to remain in compliance. In addition, permitting rules and issued permits or licenses may impose conditions or other limitations on production levels or result in additional capital or other expenditures to comply with such rules or permits.

*<u>Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA").</u>* CERCLA and comparable state laws impose strict, joint and several liability on current and former owners and operators of sites and on persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at such sites, regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. Moreover, current owners or operators of sites can be held liable for contamination caused by others, including former owners or operators, even if the current owners or operators did not contribute to the contamination. CERCLA authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take actions in response to threats to public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the potentially responsible parties the costs of such actions.

*<u>Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA").</u>* RCRA and comparable state statutes govern the generation and disposal of solid waste and hazardous waste. Although certain mining, beneficiation, and mineral processing wastes currently are exempt from regulation as hazardous wastes under RCRA, EPA has limited the disposal options for certain wastes designated as hazardous wastes under RCRA. It is possible that wastes generated by our operations may in the future be designated as hazardous wastes and may therefore become subject to more rigorous and costly management, disposal, and clean-up requirements.

*<u>Atomic Energy Act.</u>* The Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("<u>NRC</u>"), pursuant to its authority under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, oversees the regulatory framework governing the control of radioactive materials, including beneficiation and processing of rare earths that contain radioactive source materials such as uranium and thorium. The NRC is responsible for issuing licenses that govern the handling of source material involving certain concentrations of radioactive material. Our Round Top Project operations, once the Round Top Project mine is operational, including waste generation, may be subject to NRC regulations in order to receive title to, possess, use, transfer, deliver or export source and byproduct materials.

*<u>Workers' Compensation Laws.</u>* Workers' compensation laws in the states in which we operate govern our compensation of employees for work-related injuries. Agencies in those states consider changes in workers' compensation laws from time to time. Our costs will vary based on the number and severity of accidents that may occur at our facilities and our costs of addressing these claims. We are insured under various workers' compensation programs for our operations at our facilities.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business, the outcomes of which are subject to uncertainty. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant management time, create a negative perception of the Company with communities, stakeholders, and government agencies and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. See *Note 8* to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and *Note 8* to our to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included elsewhere in this prospectus for information regarding legal proceedings.

As disclosed in *Note* 8 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and *Note* 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included elsewhere in this prospectus, (i) a complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court by Ramco Asset Management, LLC ("<u>Ramco</u>"), US Trading Company Metals RE, LLC, and DinSha on July 29, 2022 against USARE OpCo, Morzev Pty Ltd., Mordechai Gutnick ATF the Morzev Trust, Mordechai Gutnick, and Pini Althaus, captioned Ramco Asset Management, LLC v. USA Rare Earth, LLC, C.A. No. 2022-0665-SG (as amended, the "<u>Complaint</u>"). After motion practice and argument, the court dismissed all claims, except for Ramco's alleged breach of contract claim and alleged breach of good faith and fair dealing as asserted against USARE OpCo. Also as disclosed in *Note* 8 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and *Note* 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, included elsewhere in this prospectus, on April 1, 2025, the Company received notice from Stewart Kleiner (Managing Member of Ramco and Grantor of DinSha) asserting that a milestone triggering payment of certain equity outlined in a May 10, 2019 advisory agreement (the "<u>Milestone Payment Notice</u>") had been achieved as a result of the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Company's reverse merger with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II. On July 1, 2025, Ramco, DinSha, Mr. Kleiner, the Company and USARE OpCo entered into the Settlement Agreement pursuant to which, in full settlement of the Complaint and the Milestone Payment Notice, amongst other things, the Company agreed to issue 159,000 shares of Common Stock to DinSha and USARE OpCo agreed to pay $150,000 to Ramco. The Settlement Agreement is expressly not to be construed as an admission of liability by USARE OpCo or the Company.

#### Description of the Round Top Project
*<u>History.</u>* The Round Top Deposit, located in Hudspeth County, Texas near the city of Sierra Blanca, Texas, was initially identified as a potential source of minerals in the mid-20th century and has long been recognized for its minerology, particularly its rare earths including heavy rare earths that are critical for a variety of advanced technologies. However, despite its potential, the Round Top Deposit remained largely untapped for many years due to the lower global demand for rare earths and the dominance of cheaper feedstock from foreign markets, particularly from China.

Interest in the Round Top Deposit resumed in the early 21<sup>st</sup> century as geopolitical concerns and technological advancements led to a renewed focus on securing domestic supplies of critical materials such as rare earths. The Round Top Deposit is considered exceptional in its geological composition, as it contains gallium, lithium, and at least 15 of the 17 rare earths, including a particularly high estimated concentration of heavy rare earths like dysprosium and terbium.

Documented exploration began in Sierra Blanca in the 1970s when W.N. McAnulty initiated trenching and limited drilling of fluorite deposits in the vicinity of Sierra Blanca, Texas. McAnulty recognized and identified beryllium mineralization associated with the massive fluorite. Adverse economic conditions for fluorite precluded development. In the 1970s, several uranium companies identified anomalous radiation and associated mineralization associated with the beryllium-fluorite deposit.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

During the 1980s, Cabot Corporation ("<u>Cabot</u>"), a large chemical company with a beryllium fabrication division, initiated exploration at Round Top Mountain for beryllium. In 1987, Cyprus Metals Company ("<u>Cyprus</u>") entered into a joint venture with Cabot and took over the project. The Cyprus exploration program drilled Sierra Blanca, Round Top Mountain and Little Round Top. Eventually, Cyprus focused on Round Top, specifically the "west end ore zone". Extensive development drilling (82,000 feet), underground exploration drift (1,115 feet) and trial mining resulted in the completion of an internal feasibility study in June 1988 (Cyprus Sierra Blanca, Inc., 1988), which study would not be sufficient for Item 1300 purposes.

During the Cabot-Cyprus development project, the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology conducted extensive research at Round Top and the surrounding area. The study identified beryllium mineralization and rare earth mineralization in the rhyolite. The research resulted in the three publications, one in 1987 on the mineralogy of the rhyolite (Rubin, et al., 1987), another in 1988 on the beryllium mineralization (Rubin et al., 1988), and another in 1990 on the detailed mineralogy and geochemistry of the rhyolite (Price et al., 1990). The 1990 Price, et al., publication, Geological Society of America Special Paper 246, is generally considered the most complete publication to date on Round Top.

In late 2007, Standard Silver Corporation, later to be renamed TRER in 2010, and then TMRC in 2013, acquired prospecting permits for Round Top from the Texas General Land Office ("<u>GLO</u>").

*<u>Accessibility.</u>* The Round Top Project is located approximately eight miles northwest of the town of Sierra Blanca, Texas, which is the nearest town to Round Top Mountain and has a small population. The site is accessed from Interstate 10 through a series of paved and unimproved dirt roads. The property is not traversed by county roads and consists of a series of graded and primitive jeep roads. The nearest major airport is located in El Paso, Texas, 88 miles to the northwest. The site is approximately three miles north of Interstate 10. A railroad line is located near the Round Top Project and a spur line stops at a stone quarry within three miles of the Round Top Project. Skilled mining labor and support could potentially be found in the El Paso area and in the mining areas of New Mexico and Arizona.

*<u>Ownership; Land and Water Leases</u>*.

RTMD is a limited liability company majority owned and controlled by USARE for the purpose of developing the Round Top Deposit. TMRC (a mining exploration company) is the minority owner of RTMD. In May 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 80% of RTMD, which controls the Company's Round Top Project, including 100% of the mining rights to the Round Top Deposit, by entering into a Contribution Agreement and Operating Agreement with TMRC. This acquisition resulted in the consolidation of RTMD with USARE, and the recording of a "non-controlling interest" for the remaining 20%. Since May 2021, TMRC has elected to forfeit some of its ownership in RTMD in exchange for USARE meeting TMRC's capital call obligations.

As of June 30, 2025, USARE owns approximately 81% of the equity interests in RTMD, with TMRC owning the remaining approximately 19%. Pursuant to RTMD's governing documents, in the event that TMRC does not fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called for by USARE as managing member, USARE is obligated to cover the shortfall by making additional capital contributions to RTMD. In the event that USARE does not cover the shortfall, the capital call will be withdrawn. If the capital call is funded by USARE, additional equity interests in RTMD will be issued to USARE and TMRC will be proportionally diluted in accordance with the amended and restated limited liability company agreement.

The Round Top Deposit is located on state property owned by the GLO. RTMD is party to a 19-year initial term, renewable Mining Lease Agreement (M-113117) with the GLO, dated September 2, 2011, and amended on January 26, 2012, March 29, 2012, and September 14, 2022. M-113117 will expire on September 1, 2030 unless extended. RTMD has also entered into an additional 19-year renewable Mining Lease Agreement (M-113629), dated November 1, 2011, with the GLO. Leases M-113117 and M-113629 (each a "<u>Mineral Lease</u>" and together, the "<u>Mineral Leases</u>") represent approximately 860 and 90 acres, respectively, for a total of 950 leases acres in the Round Top Project area. M-113629 will expire on October 31, 2030 unless extended. The Mineral Leases provide RTMD with the use of the property identified, including certain rights with respect to the surface and subsurface, together with the corresponding

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

rights of ingress and egress, for the purposes of mineral exploration, development, and exploitation of minerals. As the Round Top Project is still in its pre-production stage, the Company is currently paying delay rental payments on an annual basis to the GLO as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **M-113117** | |
|  Anniversary Date 2024 | $134154.90 |
|  Anniversary Date 2025 – 2029 | $178873.20 |

|  Anniversary Date 2025 – 2029 | $18000.00 |

---

If and when the Round Top Project begins producing, the Mineral Leases would be converted into producing leases upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, which includes: (i) a minimum advance annual royalty of $500,000 for lease M-113117 and $50,000 for lease M-113629, due promptly following sales of leased minerals or the removal of leased minerals in commercial quantities from the leased premises and (ii) a production royalty equal to 8% of the market value of uranium and other fissionable minerals and 6.25% of the market value of all other leased minerals.

In addition to the Mineral Leases, the Company currently owns approximately 2037 acres of mine processing land and holds a current purchase option on 5,670 acres of which 950 acres are authorized for mining and the remainder (4,720 acres) is contemplated for future use as mine processing land (e.g., for use to assist in mine development, as leach fields, and/or as plant site) (the "<u>Purchase Option</u>"). Unless exercised prior, the Purchase Option will expire upon the expiration of Mining Lease M-113117 (September 2, 2030). As consideration for the Purchase Option, the Company is required to pay $10,000 to the GLO on each annual anniversary of the Effective Date of the Purchase Option (as defined in the Purchase Option) during the option term. If the Company fails to make a timely payment of the option fee, the Purchase Option will terminate. On August 26, 2022, the Company submitted to the GLO a Notice of Intent to exercise the Purchase Option. In February 2023, the GLO sent its appraisal of the value of the property associated with the Purchase Option to the Company. The Company and GLO are negotiating the exercise of the Purchase Option.

The Company is lessee under GLO Surface Lease SL2004002 (Grazing/Agricultural), which lease is for a term commencing on November 24, 2003 and expiring on November 23, 2028, for approximately 55,000 acres of surface rights in proximity to the Company's Round Top Project (the "<u>Surface Lease</u>"). The Surface Lease is a pre-paid lease with a pro rata credit schedule and a "preference right agreement" to purchase all or part of the land. The Surface Lease grants the Company the right to use the leased premises for hunting, grazing, range and wildlife research, and any other purpose ancillary thereto, and allows, with GLO approval, the Company to commercially develop groundwater and to use the land for electric generation by wind power. Pursuant to the Surface Lease, the Company has the right to purchase all or part of the leased premises during the term of the lease in accordance with the terms set forth in the preference right agreement, an exhibit to the Surface Lease, provided that any purchase of tracts of land must be contiguous. The Surface Lease contains certain additional obligations, such as an obligation to maintain stated insurance coverages in certain situations, and to post certain deposits or bonds prior to commencing construction of any wind turbine, tower, buildings, or substations. The Company has the right to early terminate the lease, in which case the Company would be entitled to receive a refund of the prepayments made under the lease. There is no Company renewal option under the Surface Lease and any renewal of the Surface Lease is at the sole discretion of the GLO.

The Company is lessee under GLO Groundwater Lease SL20150003, dated August 1, 2014, as amended, for approximately 8,828 acres of water rights (the "<u>Groundwater Lease</u>"). The Groundwater Lease grants USARE rights in the land, including rights of ingress and egress, for the purpose of exploring, evaluating, drilling for, producing, developing, and extracting groundwater from the leased land for industrial and potable water use in connection with USARE's Round Top Project (including, without limitation, mineral processing and metal extraction/processing). The Groundwater Lease will expire concurrently with the M-113117 Mineral Lease. The Company has not commenced water production and is currently obligated to pay annual delay rentals in the amount of $6,500 on or before each anniversary of the effective date of the Groundwater Lease. On the first anniversary of the Effective Date that immediately follows the Company's commencement of water production from the leased premises the Company shall make a production payment equal to the greater of (1) $1,667.67 multiplied times the number of months of production of water during the 12-month period ending 60 days before the production payment is due, or (2) $0.95 per 1,000 gallons of the gross volume of water produced by the leased premises covered by the lease during the 12-month period ending 60 days before the production payment is due. On each anniversary of the effective date of the Groundwater

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Lease thereafter during the remaining term of the Groundwater Lease, the Company will be required to make a production payment equal to the greater of (1) $20,000, or (2) $0.95 per 1,000 gallons of the gross volume of water produced from the leased premises during the 12-month period ending 60 days before the production payment is due. There is no Company renewal option under the Groundwater Lease and any renewal of the Groundwater Lease is at the sole discretion of the GLO.

The premises leased under the Groundwater Lease has two existing water wells. Prior to commencing production of rare earth minerals at the Round Top Project, the Company will need to establish that the existing wells are functioning water wells producing enough water to support production or potentially drill additional wells, which would entail additional expense for production. If the Company determines that the groundwater supply is not suitable for the Company's Round Top Project, then the Company has the right to terminate the Groundwater Lease. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Groundwater Lease, the Company will be required to restore the leased premises to its original topographical condition that existed as of the Effective Date, to the extent the topographical condition has been altered.

The Company has entered into four easements with GLO that affect the Round Top Project. The first easement is Miscellaneous Easement ME20210085 ("<u>ME20210085</u>"), which commenced on April 1, 2021 and expires on March 31, 2031 unless extended by the Company pursuant to the terms of ME20210085. ME20210085 is a nonexclusive easement for a right of way to construct, maintain, operate, inspect and repair one roadway in a location set forth on the easement.

The second easement is Miscellaneous Easement (Pipelines) ME20210086 ("<u>ME20210086</u>"), which commenced on April 1, 2021 and expires on March 31, 2031 unless extended by the Company pursuant to the terms of ME20210086. ME20210086 is a nonexclusive easement for a right of way to construct, maintain, operate, inspect, repair, change the size of, and replace one 4.5-inch O.D. pipeline for the purpose of transporting fresh water in a location set forth on the easement.

The third easement is Miscellaneous Easement ME20210087 ("<u>ME20210087</u>"), which commenced on April 1, 2021 and expires on March 31, 2031 unless extended by the Company pursuant to the terms of ME20210087. ME20210087 is a nonexclusive easement for a right of way to construct, maintain, operate, inspect and repair one 24-kV electric line in a location set forth on the easement.

The fourth easement is Miscellaneous Easement ME20220142 ("<u>ME20220142</u>"), which commenced on September 1, 2022 and expires on August 31, 2032 unless extended by the Company pursuant to the terms of ME20220142. ME20220142 is a nonexclusive easement for a right of way to construct, maintain, operate, inspect and repair one roadway in a location set forth on the easement.

*<u>Historical</u> <u>Non</u><u>-Item</u> <u>1300 Resource Estimates; Feasibility Studies.</u>* Cyprus established certain non-reported resources in conjunction with a 1988 internal feasibility study, which historical resource estimate would not qualify as a resource by either historical 43-101 standards nor current Item 1300 of Regulation S-K ("<u>Item 1300</u>") standards. In 2012, TMRC completed a PEA prepared by a mining consulting firm on the Round Top Deposit (NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment — Round Top Project, June 22, 2012). The resource model in that PEA was updated in early 2013 with additional drilling and assay data and was documented in a resource statement by a mining consulting firm (Resource Estimate and Statistical Summary — Round Top Project, September 30, 2013). The 2013 PEA was an update of the 2012 PEA and utilized the resource estimate from the September 2013 study. The 2013 PEA was then superseded in 2019 when USARE and TMRC engaged a mining consulting firm to prepare its resource statement (NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment — Round Top Project, August 16, 2019). Neither the 2012 PEA, the 2013 PEA, nor the 2019 PEA were prepared on the basis of compliance with Item 1300 and are not resource estimates of USARE under Item 1300.

The 2019 PEA provided an initial overview of the Round Top Deposit's minerology, confirming that the site contains both heavy rare earths and lithium. While the 2019 PEA set the stage for further detailed studies, in light of the rapid global economic changes, technological changes that have occurred since 2019, and changes in economic environment and pricing, including with respect to extraction costs and economic returns, the Company is not relying on the 2019 PEA for the purpose of reporting mineral resources. The Company does not currently intend to update the 2019 PEA and is instead working toward conducting a pre-feasibility study ("<u>PFS</u>"). The Company intends to update the "flow sheet"

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

used as a key input in such estimates to reflect the Company's expected separation and processing methodologies at that time. USARE does not make any representation that any historical estimate is a current mineral resource estimate for the Round Top Project. There is no known significant production reported from previous operators.

Accordingly, following the 2019 PEA, USARE has been actively working on advancing the project through the next stages of the project, focusing on the subsequent PFS, which the Company intends to eventually progress to a Definitive Feasibility Study ("<u>DFS</u>"). The PFS would provide an updated and more detailed analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of the Round Top Project, including resource modeling, mine design, and processing methodologies. This step is critical in defining and refining the operational and financial plans for the Round Top Project. The final stage, the DFS, would provide the most definitive plan for the full-scale development of the mine, including final cost estimates, engineering plans, and potential environmental impacts, all necessary for securing financing and moving toward full production.

*<u>Exploration Status.</u>* It is the Company's view that the Round Top Project is considered an "exploration stage property" under Item 1300, in that the Round Top Project is a property that has no mineral reserves disclosed. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have no demonstrated economic viability. USARE has not itself conducted any exploration activities at the Round Top Project and does not have any current determination as to a proposed program of exploration or development. However, as discussed above in the section entitled "— *History*", various other parties have historically performed exploration activities at the site, including TMRC from whom USARE acquired its rights in the Round Top Project through the Company's subsidiary RTMD. Between January 2010 and August 2019, TMRC conducted the following exploration activities: surface sampling, logging cuttings from historical reverse circulation drilling, aeromagnetic surveying, an aeroradiometric survey, stream sediment surveying, gravity surveying, and exploratory drilling. To date, 173 historical drill holes have been located, and, between 2011 and 2019, TMRC drilled 84 reverse circulation holes and 2 core holes and analyzed 3,081 drill samples. In early 2019, TMRC assayed previously collected RC samples to collect geochemical data for some additional elements from existing drill holes to expand the knowledge of lithium, zircon, and other elements which metallurgical test work had indicated might impact project economics.

The Round Top Project's equipment and facilities and related infrastructure are in generally good condition and are not material to the Company's business as currently conducted.

For information regarding current and expected future permitting requirements and associated timelines and information regarding such permits, see the section entitled "— *Permits and Approvals*".

*<u>Environmental Impact.</u>* The Round Top Project has been envisioned with an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact, particularly in comparison to traditional mining operations. One of the key environmental advantages of the Round Top Project's site is its location in an arid, sparsely populated area of Texas, which reduces the likelihood of significant impacts on local communities or ecosystems. Due to the above-ground nature of the deposit, the project is currently expected to predominantly utilize overland conveying of ore and heap leaching for rare earth extraction, which is generally considered less environmentally disruptive given the minimization of mobile mining equipment.

Additionally, USARE endeavors to use sustainable practices by focusing on using closed-loop recycling systems to minimize waste and reduce water usage in its operations. The Company is exploring the possibility of using renewable energy sources to power its projects. However, like all mining operations, in the future, the Company will likely need to manage concerns related to chemical use, water management and contamination, and waste management.

#### Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors is chaired by Michael Blitzer and includes as members the individuals named above as directors. Subject to the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, the number of directors of the Company is fixed by our board of directors and was initially fixed at eight directors. In connection with the appointment of Ms. Humpton to the Board, the Board determined to reduce the number of directors to seven, effective upon the election of directors at the next annual meeting of stockholders in May 2026.

When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the board of directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the board of directors focuses primarily on each person's background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors' individual biographies set forth above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

#### Director Independence
Under our corporate governance guidelines and the Nasdaq rules, a director is not independent unless our board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a direct or indirect material relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries. In addition, the director must not be precluded from qualifying as independent under the per se bars set forth by the Nasdaq rules.

Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that Michael Blitzer, Mordechai Gutnick, Paul Kern, Otto Schwethelm, Michael Senft, and Carolyn Trabuco do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors qualifies as "independent" as that term is defined under the Nasdaq rules. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company, and all other facts and circumstances that our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the director's beneficial ownership of our securities.

#### Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors directs the management of its business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the board of directors and standing committees. Our board of directors has a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which operates under a written charter and is composed solely of independent directors.

In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the board of directors when the board of directors deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues.

Our compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of these goals and objectives and setting our Chief Executive Officer's compensation;

#### Director Nominations
Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• recommending to the board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each committee of the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developing and recommending to the board of directors corporate governance guidelines, and reviewing and recommending to the board of directors proposed changes to our corporate governance guidelines from time to time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• overseeing the annual evaluations of the board of directors, its committees and management.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Michael Senft, Paul Kern, Mordechai Gutnick and Michael Blitzer, with Michael Senft serving as chair. The board of directors determined that the members of our nominating and corporate governance committee qualify as "independent" under Nasdaq rules applicable to nominating and corporate governance committee members.

The nominating and corporate governance committee has not set specific minimum qualifications for director positions. Instead, the nominating and corporate governance committee will review nominations for election or re-election to the board of directors on the basis of a particular candidate's merits and the Company's needs after taking into account the current composition of the board of directors. When evaluating candidates annually for nomination for election, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider an individual's skills, diversity, independence, experience in areas that address the needs of the board of directors and ability to devote adequate time to our board of directors' duties. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not specifically define diversity, but values diversity of experience, perspective, education, race, gender and national origin as part of its overall annual evaluation of director nominees for election or re-election. Whenever a new seat or a vacated seat on the board of directors is being filled, candidates that appear to best fit the needs of the board of directors and the Company will be identified, interviewed and evaluated by the nominating and corporate governance committee. Candidates selected by the nominating and corporate governance committee will then be recommended to the full board of directors.

#### Code of Ethics
In connection with Closing, we adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics is available on our website, (*https://www.usare.com*).

We intend to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our code of ethics on our website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.

#### Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted insider trading policies and procedures attached hereto as Exhibit 19 governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of the Company's securities by directors, officers and employees that are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations. It is also the policy of the Company to comply with applicable securities laws when transacting in its own securities.

None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of our board of directors or member of our compensation committee.

#### EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

#### Inflection Point Executive and Director Compensation
As of December 31, 2024, Inflection Point had two executive officers, Michael Blitzer (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), and Peter Ondishin (Chief Financial Officer). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Inflection Point executive officers ceased serving in such capacities.

On May 24, 2023, Inflection Point entered into a Services and Indemnification Agreement with the Sponsor, TVC, Peter Ondishin and Kevin Shannon, pursuant to which it pays TVC a total of $27,083.33 per month for the services of Peter Ondishin as chief financial officer of the Company and Kevin Shannon as chief of staff for the Company. On March 28, 2024, Inflection Point entered into the Amendment to the Services and Indemnification Agreement pursuant to which, the Monthly Fee paid to TVC, effective as of January 1, 2024, was reduced from $27,083 to (i) $17,708 for the period from January 1, 2024 to January 31, 2024 and (ii) $24,091 for the period starting February 1, 2024.

On November 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Services and Indemnification Agreement pursuant to which, the Monthly Fee paid to TVC, effective as of November 1, 2024, was reduced from $14,746 to $7,373 for the period starting October 1, 2024. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company ceased paying the Monthly Fee. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the period from March 6, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, the Company incurred $204,541 and $196,806 for these services, respectively.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and Inflection Point's executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, were entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. In addition, pursuant to the Services and Indemnification Agreement with the Sponsor, TVC, Peter Ondishin and Kevin Shannon relating to the monthly payment for the services of Peter Ondishin and Kevin Shannon described above, Inflection Point agreed to indemnify the Sponsor and TVC from any claims arising out of or relating to the IPO or Inflection Point's operations or conduct of Inflection Point's business or any claim against the Sponsor and/or TVC alleging any expressed or implied management or endorsement by the Sponsor and/or TVC of any of Inflection Point's activities or any express or implied association between the Sponsor and/or TVC, on the one hand, and Inflection Point or any of its other affiliates, on the other hand, which agreement provided that the indemnified parties could not access the funds held in Inflection Point's Trust Account prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Services and Indemnification Agreement also provided that Peter Ondishin and Kevin Shannon cannot access the funds held in Inflection Point's Trust Account. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Inflection Point's audit committee reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or Inflection Point's or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to the consummation of the Business Combination were made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, Inflection Point did not have any additional controls in place governing such reimbursement payments to its directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their activities on Inflection Point's behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, was paid by Inflection Point to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the Business Combination.

#### 2025 Equity Grants and Acceleration
During 2025, in connection with executive transitions and other retention considerations, the following equity grants were made to the Company's current executive officers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Barbara Humpton, was awarded 250,662 RSUs vesting ratably over a three-year period, 313,327 RSUs vesting ratably over a three-year period and 62,666 RSUs vesting ratably over a two-year period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's Chief Financial Officer, William Robert Steele Jr., was awarded 90,992 RSUs vesting ratably over a two-year period, 90,992 RSUs vesting ratably over a three-year period, and 62,666 RSUs vesting ratably over a two-year period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Company's Chief Legal Officer, David Kronenfeld, was awarded 27,298 RSUs vesting ratably over a two-year period, 40,947 RSUs vesting ratably over a three-year period, 18,199 RSUs vesting in May 2026, and 11,096 RSUs vesting ratably over a three-year period; and

In connection with his separation, Mr. Ballard's "founder" award of unvested time-based restricted stock units will accelerate in respect of 90,992 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

#### Other Elements of Compensation
*Retirement Plans*

Our employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our 401(k) Plan (the "<u>401(k) Plan</u>"). Our executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms and conditions as other full-time employees, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of the plan. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Currently, we make safe harbor matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan equal to 100% of employee contributions not in excess of 1% of their compensation and 50% of employee contributions not in excess of 6% of their compensation, and these matching contributions are fully vested as of the date on which the contribution is made. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) Plan, and making matching contributions, adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.

*Severance Plan*

On August 11, 2025, the Board and Compensation Committee approved the USA Rare Earth, Inc. Severance and Change of Control Protection Plan (the "<u>Severance Plan</u>"), pursuant to which the Company's executive officers and certain senior management employees, as determined by the Compensation Committee (the "<u>Eligible Participants</u>") may be eligible for certain severance benefits. Pursuant to the Severance Plan, in the event that an Eligible Participant's employment is terminated by the Company without cause or the Eligible Participant resigns for good reason in each case, not in connection with a change in control (all as defined in the Severance Plan) and subject to the effectiveness of a separation agreement including a general release of claims, the Eligible Participant is entitled to the following: (i) for the CEO, 12 months of base salary and 12 months of COBRA coverage and (ii) for all other Eligible Participants 6 months of base salary and 6 months of COBRA coverage, and for both the CEO and other Eligible Participants, acceleration of the next tranche of outstanding equity awards at the time of termination, with performance awards vesting based on target performance.

All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• medical, dental and vision benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• life insurance; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• short-term and long-term disability insurance.

We believe the health and welfare benefits described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to our named executive officers.

We do not maintain any executive-specific benefits or perquisites for our named executive officers.

We do not make gross-up payments to cover our named executive officers' personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by our company.

#### SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Stockholders from time to time of an aggregate of 76,311,179 shares of Common Stock. Please see the section entitled "*Description of Securities*" for further information regarding the rights and restrictions of the Common Stock.

In this prospectus, the term "Selling Stockholders" includes (i) the entity or entities identified in the table below (as such table may be amended from time to time by means of an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or by a supplement to this prospectus) and (ii) any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that acquire any of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus after the date of this prospectus from the named Selling Stockholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer.

The Selling Stockholders acquired the Resale Shares at an effective price lower than the trading price as of the date of this prospectus and may therefore experience a positive rate of return on their investment, even if our public stockholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment. Furthermore, the Selling Stockholders may earn a positive rate of return even if the price of the Common Stock declines. As a result, the Selling Stockholder may be willing to sell their respective shares at effective prices less than stockholders that acquired their Common Stock in the public market or at higher prices than the price paid by the Selling Stockholders, the sale of which would result in the Selling Stockholders realizing a significant gain even if other stockholders experience a negative rate of return. For example, based on the closing price of our Common Stock of $26.35 on January 27, 2026, the Sellers would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $11.51 per share and the PIPE Investors would experience a potential profit of up to approximately $4.85 per share.

The sale or possibility of sale of shares of Common Stock, including those pursuant to this prospectus, could have the effect of increasing the volatility in our Common Stock price or putting significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock. The Common Stock being offered for resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus represent approximately 35.0% of our total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of January 28, 2026.

The table below sets forth, as of January 28, 2026, the names of the Selling Stockholders for which we are registering Resale Shares for resale to the public, and the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock that the Selling Stockholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus. In accordance with SEC rules, the entities below are shown as having beneficial ownership over securities they own or have the right to acquire within 60 days, as well as securities for which they have the right to vote or dispose of such securities. Also, in accordance with SEC rules, for purposes of calculating percentages of beneficial ownership, securities which a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus are included both in that person's beneficial ownership as well as in the total number of securities issued and outstanding used to calculate that person's percentage ownership but not for purposes of calculating the percentage for other persons. We have based percentage ownership on 217,940,638 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

Because the Selling Stockholders may dispose of all, none or some portion of their Resale Shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of Resale Shares that will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of this offering. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders and have further assumed that the Selling Stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented. Please see the section titled "*Plan of Distribution*" for further information regarding the Selling Stockholders' method of distributing these Resale Shares.

#### CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

#### Inflection Point Related Person Transactions

#### Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants
In March 2023, Inflection Point Holdings II LLC, the Sponsor, paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of Inflection Point's offering costs in exchange for 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares of Inflection Point. Subsequently on May 24, 2023, Inflection Point effected a share recapitalization with respect to the Class B ordinary shares, as a result of which the Sponsor then held 6,325,000 Class B ordinary shares. As a result of the underwriters' election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on May 30, 2023, 75,000 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,250,000 Class B ordinary shares. On November 18, 2024, pursuant to the terms of Inflection Point's governing documents, the Sponsor elected to convert 6,200,000 outstanding Class B ordinary shares held by it on a one-for-one basis into Class A ordinary shares of Inflection Point, resulting in the Sponsor owning an aggregate of 6,250,000 ordinary shares, consisting of 6,200,000 Class A ordinary shares and 50,000 Class B ordinary shares. On March 12, 2025, the remaining 50,000 Class B ordinary shares converted into Class A ordinary shares, and immediately thereafter all 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares converted into 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock upon the Domestication prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

Pursuant to the letter agreements dated May 24, 2023, the Sponsor and Inflection Point's officers and directors agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Class B ordinary shares and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial business combination, or (ii) the date on which Inflection Point (or its successor) completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial business combination that results in all of Inflection Point's shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances (the lock-up). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination or (2) if Inflection Point (or its successor) consummates a transaction after the initial business combination which results in Inflection Point's shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the covered shares will be released from the lock-up.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants, simultaneously with the initial closing of the IPO, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate. Each Private Placement Warrant was exercisable for one Class A ordinary share of Inflection Point and, following the Domestication, for one share of Common Stock, at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). On December 1, 2025, all outstanding Private Placement Warrants were redeemed by the Company. Accordingly, as of the date of this prospectus, there are no Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

In connection with the Business Combination, the lock-up provisions of the letter agreement entered into by the Sponsor was superseded by the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor and its permitted assigns agreed not to, without the prior written consent of our board of directors, prior to end of the Initial Common Stock Lock-up Period, Transfer any Sponsor Lock-Up Shares. The Sponsor and its permitted assigns also agreed not to, prior to the end of the Second Common Stock Lock-Up Period, Transfer more than 50% of the Sponsor Lock-Up Shares in each case, without the prior written consent of our board of directors. In addition, the Sponsor agreed to not Transfer any warrants of the Company received upon conversion of private placement warrants in connection with the Domestication (or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants of Inflection Point, prior to the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date. The Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement provides for certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to, transfers to certain affiliates or family members, transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, and the exercise of certain stock options and warrants. The Initial Common Stock Lock-Up Period ended on September 13, 2025. The Second Common Stock Lock-Up Period, as applied to the Sponsor, ended on November 11, 2025.

That pre-money $45 million valuation was determined at the time of the investment of the Class B Units by the management of USARE OpCo

The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the Preferred Stock that we have issued and that we may issue in the future.

***Lock***-Up ***Arrangements.*** Pursuant to our Bylaws, the former members of USARE OpCo (excluding the holders of the USARE Class A Convertible Preferred Units and the USARE Class A Preferred Investor Warrants, solely with respect to securities received in exchange for such USARE OpCo securities) (together with their permitted transferees, the "<u>USARE</u> <u>Lock</u><u>-Up</u> <u>Holders</u>") were not be permitted, prior to the Initial Common Stock Lock-Up Period to Transfer, without the prior written consent of our board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Closing of the Business Combination, our Board released specified USARE Lock-Up Holders, generally the USARE Lock-Up Holders who were expected to own less than 0.2% of the Common Stock issued to all USARE Lock-Up Holders in the Business Combination.

Effective as of September 13, 2025, the Initial Common Stock Lock-Up Period ended, and a total of 31,071,111 USARE Lock-Up Shares were released from the lock-up. Our Bylaws further provide that such USARE Lock-up Holders will not be permitted to, prior to the Second Common Stock Lock-Up Period, Transfer more than 50% of the USARE Lock-Up Shares, without the prior written consent of our Board. Our Bylaws provided for certain permitted transfers, including but not limited to, transfers to certain affiliates or family members, transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to certain conditions, or the exercise of certain stock options and warrants. The Second Common Stock Lock-Up Period ended as of the close of trading on October 10, 2025.

#### Preferred Stock
1,224,351 shares of Preferred Stock, all of which are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, are issued or outstanding. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock. Unless required by law or any stock exchange, the authorized shares of Preferred Stock will be available for issuance without further action by the holders of Common Stock. 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $12.00.

The Board has the discretion to determine the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of Preferred Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Additionally, the issuance of Preferred Stock may adversely affect the holders of the Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of Preferred Stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Stock.

The Board adopted the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation creating the Series A Preferred Stock.

***Dividends:*** The Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends daily at the rate of 12% per annum of the Stated Value (if paid in kind), plus the amount of previously accrued dividends paid in kind, or 10% per annum of the Stated Value (if paid in cash), plus the amount of previously accrued dividends. Such dividends will compound semi-annually.

***Liquidation Preference:*** Upon any liquidation or deemed liquidation event, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the available proceeds, before any distribution is made to holders of Common Stock or any other junior securities, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the Accrued Value (as defined in the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation) or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event. Thereafter, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive their pro-rata share, of the remaining available proceeds available for distribution to stockholders, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis.

***Voting:*** The Series A Preferred Stock will (i) vote together with the Common Stock as a single class, except as required by law and (ii) as noted below under "*Protective Provisions*". Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.

***Protective Provisions:*** While at least 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Closing were held by Inflection Point Asset Management LLC, and certain other holders of Series A Preferred Stock and their respective affiliates, the Company was not permitted to, without the affirmative vote or action by written consent of holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "<u>Requ</u><u>isite Hold</u><u>ers</u>"), take any of the following actions: (i) liquidate, dissolve or wind up the affairs of the Company; (ii) amend, alter, or repeal any provision of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation or any similar document of the Company in a manner materially adverse to the Series A Preferred Stock; (iii) create or authorize the creation of or issue any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security unless such security ranks junior to the Series A

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Preferred Stock with respect to its rights, preferences and privileges, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (iv) except in certain circumstances, purchase or redeem or pay any cash dividend on any capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, other than stock repurchased at cost from former employees and consultants in connection with the cessation of their service or pursuant to the terms of any equity incentive plan; (v) enter into any transaction with an affiliate, other than the issuance of equity or awards to eligible participants under the Company's incentive plan, equity plan or equity-based compensation plan or with respect to employment, consulting or award agreements with respect to executive officers of the Company, in each case regardless of whether such person (or such person's affiliates) would be considered an affiliate of the Company; or (vi) incur or guarantee any indebtedness, other than equipment leases or trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, if the aggregate indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries for borrowed money following such action would exceed $5,000,000; provided, however, that the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be considered indebtedness for purposes of this calculation. Because less than 20% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Closing are held by Inflection Point Asset Management LLC, and certain other holders of Series A Preferred Stock and their respective affiliates, these protective provisions no longer apply.

***Conversion:*** Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder at a rate equal to the Accrued Value, divided by the then-applicable conversion price. The conversion price was initially $12.00, subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events and customary anti-dilution adjustments, including with respect to future issuances or sales of Common Stock at prices less than $10.00 per share, and is $7.00 per share as of the date of this prospectus.

***Put Rights:*** Unless prohibited by applicable law governing distributions to stockholders, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the Requisite Holders commencing any time after the 5<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the Accrued Value.

***Call Rights:*** Unless prohibited by applicable law governing distributions to stockholders, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of the Company commencing any time (A) prior to the 1<sup>st</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the 150% of the Accrued Value, (B) on or after the 1<sup>st</sup> anniversary but prior to the 2<sup>nd</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the 140% of the Accrued Value, (C) on or after the 2<sup>nd</sup> anniversary of the Closing but prior to the 3<sup>rd</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the 130% of the Accrued Value, (D) on or after the 3<sup>rd</sup> anniversary of the Closing but prior to the 4<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the 120% of the Accrued Value, (E) on or after the 4<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Closing but prior to the 5<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the 110% of the Accrued Value, or (F) on or after the 5<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to the 100% of the Accrued Value.

#### Warrants
Effective as of the Warrant Redemption Time, the Company redeemed all outstanding unexercised Warrants for a redemption price of $0.01 per Warrant. From the date the Warrants became exercisable, through the Warrant Redemption Time, an aggregate of 15,881,943 million Warrants were exercised, generated aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $182.6 million. Effective as of the Warrant Redemption Time, 2,618,050 Warrants remained unexercised and were redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per Warrant, or an aggregate of $26,180.50.

#### Public Warrants
The registration statement for the IPO was declared effective on May 24, 2023. On May 30, 2023, Inflection Point consummated the IPO of 25,000,000 units, which included the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Each unit consisted of one Class A Ordinary Share and one half of one redeemable warrant of the Company, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Each whole Warrant entitled the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. The Public Warrants were governed by the terms of the Warrant Agreement.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Inflection Point consummated the sale of 7,650,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and CF&CO, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, or $7,650,000 in the aggregate. Of those 7,650,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor purchased 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants and CF&CO purchased 1,650,000 Private Placement Warrants. CF&CO forfeited 1,650,000 Private Placement Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

The Private Placement Warrants received upon conversion of the private placement warrants of Inflection Point (including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants) were not transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to Inflection Point's officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor). Except as described herein, the Private Placement Warrants received upon conversion of the private placement warrants of Inflection Point had terms and provisions that were identical to those of the Public Warrants.

#### Preferred Investor Warrants
The Company has issued Preferred Investor Warrants initially exercisable for up to 5,279,412 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment. As of January 28, 2026, the outstanding Preferred Investor Warrants are exercisable for up to 2,446,195 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment, after giving effect to reductions in the exercise price and corresponding increases to the number of underlying shares of Common Stock and exercises of Preferred Investor Warrants through January 28, 2026.

The Preferred Investor Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance as of Closing and expire five years from the date of Closing at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (the "<u>PIW Termination Date</u>"). The Preferred Investor Warrants include customary cash and cashless exercise provisions. Each Preferred Investor Warrant was initially exercisable at $12.00 per share of Common Stock, subject to the same anti-dilution and other adjustments as the Series A Preferred Stock. The current exercise price is $7.00 per share.

The Preferred Investor Warrants do not include any redemption features. The Preferred Investor Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if, at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, there is not an effective registration statement with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants. On the PIW Termination Date, the Preferred Investor Warrants will be automatically exercised on a cashless basis. To exercise on a cashless basis, the holder of the Preferred Investor Warrant would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Preferred Investor Warrant (or part thereof) for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Investor Warrant, multiplied by the excess of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the date specified by the Preferred Investor Warrant less the exercise price of such Preferred Investor Warrant by (y) the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the date specified by the Preferred Investor Warrant.

The holders of Preferred Investor Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock or any voting rights in respect of the Preferred Investor Warrants or underlying shares of Common Stock until they exercise their Preferred Investor Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

#### May 2025 Pre-Funded PIPE Warrant
On May 2, 2025, upon the closing of the May 2025 PIPE, the Company issued the May 2025 Pre-Funded PIPE Warrant. The May 2025 Pre-Funded PIPE Warrant was immediately exercisable, subject to the holder's election to implement a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99%. The exercise price per share was $0.0001 per share, subject to adjustment. The May 2025 Pre-Funded PIPE Warrant did not expire. As of the date of this prospectus, the May 2025 Pre-Funded PIPE Warrant has been fully exercised.

#### May 2025 PIPE Warrant
On May 2, 2025, upon the closing of the May 2025 PIPE, the Company issued the May 2025 PIPE Warrant. The May 2025 PIPE Warrant was not exercisable until the Company obtained stockholder approval for the issuance of more than 20% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Signing Date and were to expire on the sixth

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

anniversary of the initial exercise date. The exercise price per share was $7.00 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including with respect to future issuances or sales of Common Stock. On July 1, 2025, the Company obtained the requisite stockholder approval and the May 2025 PIPE Warrant became exercisable, subject to the holder's election to implement a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99%. As of the date of this prospectus, the May 2025 PIPE Warrant has been fully exercised.

#### Anti-Takeover Effects of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law
The provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and the DGCL summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the market price for your shares of Common Stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of us unless such takeover or change in control is approved by such board of directors.

These provisions include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock.* The authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of Common Stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *No Cumulative Voting for Directors.* The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of our capital stock will be able to elect all of the directors then standing for election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Quorum.* Our Bylaws provide that at all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Whole Board (as defined therein) will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Action by Written Consent.* Any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders by such holders; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate(s) of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Special Meetings of Stockholders.* Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of our stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Chair of the Board or by a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors that the Company would have if there were no vacancies on the Board, but such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other person or persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Advance Notice Procedures.* Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, and for stockholder nominations of persons for election to the Board to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or by a stockholder who was a

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given the secretary of the Company timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder's intention to bring that business or nomination before the meeting. Although the Bylaws do not give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, as applicable, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

#### Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. Our Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors and officer for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders, through stockholders' derivative suits on the Company's behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director or officer for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director or officer or if such director or officer has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

Our Bylaws provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors' and officers' liability insurance providing indemnification for directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, liability insurance and any indemnity agreements that may be entered into are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

#### Transfer Agent and Registrar
The Transfer Agent and registrar for the shares of Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

#### Listing
On March 14, 2025, our shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share began trading on Nasdaq under the symbols "USAR" and "USARW," respectively. After the Warrant Redemption Time, the Warrants ceased trading on Nasdaq.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### SECURITIES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
We cannot predict the effect, if any, future sales of shares of Common Stock, or the availability for future sale of shares of Common Stock, will have on the market price of shares of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. The sale of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of our Common Stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity or equity-related securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

As of January 28, 2026, we had a total of 217,940,638 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, approximately 141.6 million shares of our Common Stock are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act by persons other than our "affiliates", as of January 28, 2026. Under the Securities Act, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with that issuer. The remaining shares of our Common Stock are "restricted securities," as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("<u>Rule 144</u>"), are otherwise not permitted to be sold absent further registration under the Securities Act or compliance with Rule 144 thereunder or in reliance on another exemption from registration, or are subject to the Second Common Stock Lock-Up Period.

In addition, we also have outstanding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) 1,224,351 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, currently convertible into 2,327,240 shares of Common Stock at the current conversion price of $7.00 taking into account accrued and unpaid payment-in-kind dividends through January 28, 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Preferred Investor Warrants, currently exercisable for a total of 2,436,518 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $7.00 per share.

We are also obligated to issue up to 10,100,000 Earnout Shares upon the occurrence of specified events pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for no additional consideration. 10,000,000 Earnout Shares would be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act by persons other than our "affiliates."

As a result of the registration provisions of the Warrant Agreement, all of the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants may be eligible for future sale without restriction by persons other than our "affiliates".

As a result of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287410), which was declared effective on July 21, 2025, all of the 2,628,374 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock are eligible for future sale without further registration. As described in the section of this prospectus entitled "*Description of Capital Stock — Preferred Stock,*" the Series A Preferred Stock accrues dividends daily. To the extent such dividends are accrued as payment-in-kind dividends, the accrued value of each share of Series A Preferred Stock increases, which increases the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

As a result of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287410), which was declared effective on July 21, 2025, all of the 2,475,715 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants are eligible for future sale without further registration.

As a result of the September 2025 PIPE Registration Statement (File No. 333-290723), which became effective on October 27, 2025, the shares issued in connection with the September 2025 PIPE are eligible for sale without further registration.

Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, the Resale Shares will be eligible for future sale without further registration.

#### Equity Plans
We filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of all shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of our Common Stock issuable under the USARE Incentive Plan. Our Common Stock registered under such registration statement will be available for resale by nonaffiliates in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act and by affiliates in the public market subject to compliance with the resale provisions of Rule 144.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Registration Rights
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we entered into the March Registration Rights Agreement by and among, us, the Sponsor and certain of the other Selling Securityholders pursuant to which we granted them and their affiliates the right, under certain circumstances and subject to certain restrictions, to require us to register under the Securities Act certain securities held by such holders. These shares also may be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, depending on their holding period and subject to restrictions in the case of shares held by persons deemed to be our affiliates. Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287410), which covered the resale of such securities, was declared effective on July 21, 2025.

Furthermore, pursuant to the CCM Arrangements, we agreed to register their resale of the shares of Common Stock held by or issuable to them as described in this prospectus. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to register the resale of the 159,000 shares of Common Stock issued to DinSha pursuant to such agreement. Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287410), which covered the resale of such shares of Common Stock, was declared effective on July 21, 2025.

In connection with the September PIPE, the Company and the September PIPE Selling Stockholder entered into the September PIPE Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file the September 2025 PIPE Registration Statement with the SEC on or prior to the 30<sup>th</sup> calendar day following closing of the September PIPE for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued in the September PIPE, to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective within the time period set forth in such registration rights agreement, and to keep such registration statement effective until the date that all registrable securities covered by such registration statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144. The September 2025 PIPE Registration Statement became effective on October 27, 2025.

We are registering resale of the Resale Shares to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted to the Sellers pursuant to the LCM Registration Rights Agreement and to satisfy certain registration rights we have granted to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Registration Rights Agreement.

See "*Risk Factors — Risks Related to this Offering — Sales, or the perception of sales, of our Common Stock, including those registered in this registration statement and those we have previously registered separate registration statements, by us or our existing securityholders could dilute existing stockholders and cause the market price for our Common Stock to decline*" for additional information.

#### Lock-Up Agreements
Except for the shares of Common Stock issued to the Sellers, no shares of Common Stock are currently subject to a lock-up or transfer restrictions.

The shares of Common Stock issued to the Sellers, totaling 6,543,737 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (the "<u>Lock</u><u>-Up</u> <u>Shares</u>"), are subject to a lock-up pursuant to the terms of lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the LCM Acquisition. Pursuant to the lock-up agreements, the Sellers agreed not to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, enter into any swap agreement or otherwise dispose of, agree to dispose of, or publicly announce any intention to effect a disposition of, 50% of the Lock-Up Shares until March 13, 2026, and the remaining 50% of the Lock-Up Shares until September 13, 2026, subject to certain exceptions, including for transfers to certain affiliates or family members and transfers of shares acquired on the open market after the consummation of the LCM Acquisition or upon the exercise of certain stock options and warrants.

#### Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1% of the total number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the average weekly reported trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

#### Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company (which, in our case, is likely to occur one year after the filing of the "Super" Form 8-K related to the Business Combination, filed on March 19, 2025).

As a result, Rule 144 will become available for resales of our securities without registration one year after the filing of the "Super" Form 8-K, which occurred on March 19, 2025, provided the other conditions described above are satisfied. Absent registration under the Securities Act, other stockholders, including securityholders who received restricted or control securities in the Business Combination, will not be permitted to sell their restricted securities under Rule 144 earlier than one year after the filing of the "Super" Form 8-K.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we are no longer a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

#### MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U .S. HOLDERS
The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to Non-U.S. holders (as defined below) of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock purchased in accordance with this registration statement, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations related thereto. This discussion applies only to holders that hold our Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

This discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to our founders, sponsors, officers or directors. This discussion is a summary only and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including but not limited to the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain net investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks, financial institutions or financial services entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• broker-dealers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulated investment companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• real estate investment trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• except as specifically provided below, persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of our stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that acquired our Common Stock pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-qualified retirement plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• insurance companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dealers or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to our Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons holding our Common Stock as part of a "straddle," constructive sale, hedge, wash sale, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our Common Stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• partnerships (or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and any beneficial owners of such partnerships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt entities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlled foreign corporations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• passive foreign investment companies.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-thru entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership holding our common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

This discussion is based on the Code, and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).

We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion. You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.

**THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL NON**-INCOME**, STATE AND LOCAL, AND NON**-U**.S. TAX LAWS**.

#### Definition of Non-U .S. Holder
As used herein, the term "Non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of our Common Stock (other than a partnership or entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, not a U.S. person.

A "U.S. person" is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) it has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

#### Taxation of Distributions
In general, any distributions (including constructive distributions, but not including certain distributions of our stock or rights to acquire our stock) we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of our Common Stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. holder by us or the applicable withholding agent, including from other property subsequently paid or credited to such holder. Any distribution in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of its Common Stock, which will be treated as described under "*Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock*" below. In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a "United States real property holding corporation" (see "*Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock*" below), we generally will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

The withholding tax generally does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A corporate Non-U.S. holder receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

#### Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock
Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation" (as defined below) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. holder's holding period for the applicable common stock, except, in the case where shares of our Common Stock are "regularly traded on an established securities market" (within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations, referred to herein as "regularly traded"), and the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly, indirectly, or constructively, 5% or less of our Common Stock at all times within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition of Common Stock or such Non-U.S. holder's holding period for such Common Stock. It is unclear how the rules for determining the 5% threshold for this purpose would be applied with respect to our Common Stock, including how a Non-U.S. holder's ownership of our warrants, if any, impacts the 5% threshold determination with respect to its Common Stock. We can provide no assurance as to our future status as a United States real property holding corporation or as to whether our Common Stock will be considered to be regularly traded. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Non-U.S. holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" imposed at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on a portion of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year that are attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), but may be offset by U.S. source capital losses realized during the same taxable year (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided the Non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. Non-U.S. holders should consult any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Common Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. In addition, a buyer of our Common Stock from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. Any amounts withheld may be refunded or credited against a Non-U.S. holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely provided to the IRS.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

We would be classified as a United States real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our "United States real property interests" equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that we are not currently a United States real property holding corporation; however, there can be no assurance that we will not become a United States real property holding corporation in the future.

#### Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our Common Stock. A Non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, *provided that* the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

#### FATCA Withholding Taxes
Provisions commonly referred to as "FATCA" impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on our Common Stock to "foreign financial institutions" (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by United States persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits.

Thirty percent withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury Regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury Regulations. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in our Common Stock.

#### PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees, distributees, or other successors-in-interest selling shares of our Common Stock or interests in our Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Stockholders as a gift, pledge, distribution, or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, distribute, or otherwise dispose of certain of their respective shares of Common Stock or interests in our Common Stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which shares of our Common Stock, are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of their securities or interests therein:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• one or more underwritten offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distributions to its members, partners, or stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• short sales effected after the date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• in market transactions, including transactions on a national securities exchange or quotations service or over-the-counter market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• directly to one or more purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through agents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• broker-dealers who may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per share; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a combination of any such methods of sale.

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some shares of our Common Stock owned by them and, if any of the Selling Stockholders default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such securities, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors-in-interest as a Selling Stockholder under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees, or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of shares of our Common Stock, or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of such securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge shares of our Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of shares of our Common Stock offered by them will be the purchase price of such shares, less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of our Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the Selling Stockholders.

The Selling Stockholders also may in the future resell shares of our Common Stock in open-market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act (provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule), or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of shares of our Common Stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions, or profit they earn on any resale of such securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any Selling Stockholder is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, then such Selling Stockholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers, and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the Selling Stockholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the number of shares of our Common Stock to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer, or underwriter, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions, or other compensation with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

To facilitate the offering of shares offered by the Selling Stockholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our Common Stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares of Common Stock than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our Common Stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of Common Stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of Common Stock sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

Under the LCM Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities that they may incur in connection with the sale of the securities registered hereunder, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the Selling Stockholders may be required to make with respect thereto. In addition, we and the Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the securities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part until all Resale Shares have been sold under such registration statement or under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or are no longer outstanding, or under other circumstances as described in the LCM Registration Rights Agreement. We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, other than underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes, and certain legal expenses. The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, transfer taxes, and certain legal expenses relating to the offering.

A selling stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to its members, partners, or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners, or stockholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Common Stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 1. Organization
The mission of USA Rare Earth, Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries (the "Company," "USAR," "we," or "our") is to establish a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that supports the future state of energy, mobility, technology and national security in the United States of America ("U.S."). USAR is developing a rare earth element ("REE") sintered Neodymium Iron Boron ("NdFeB" or "neo") magnet manufacturing plant in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and intends to establish domestic rare earth and critical minerals supply, extraction, and processing capabilities to both supply its magnet manufacturing plant and, the Company believes as it scales up its manufacturing operations, support to the entire value chain. Rare earth magnets are critical to various business sectors and industries, including the defense, automotive, aviation, industrial, artificial intelligence with robotics (also referred to as "Physical AI"), medical, and consumer electronics industries, among others. USAR is planning to take a broad approach to the industries it serves with the intention of providing high-quality neo magnets to a variety of industries and customers. USAR's focus on developing domestic rare earth production aligns with national priorities, offering the potential of a sustainable and secure domestic supply of materials critical to key industries.

USAR (formerly known as Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II or "IPXX") was a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on March 6, 2023. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On March 14, 2025, following the closing of the merger transactions, shares of USAR common stock ("Common Stock") and USAR warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the symbols "USAR" and "USARW," respectively.

#### Going Concern
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated no revenues since inception, continues to incur losses from increasing operational expenses, and has an accumulated deficit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had net loss of $248.0 million, which includes a non-cash fair value loss on financial instruments of $216.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash used for operating activities was $21.1 million.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $257.6 million and subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company raised an additional approximately $163.3 million from exercises of outstanding warrants by certain investors. Despite the increase in cash during the quarter and subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company will still need to raise additional capital to implement its current strategic plan, purchase of raw material inventory in advance of manufacturing due to long lead times, current and future business acquisitions to strategically acquire significant quantities of critical raw material inventory, and purchase of capital equipment to expand its production and finishing lines. Furthermore, the Company expects to increase its operational costs to accommodate the new production lines and incur higher infrastructure costs to handle the forecasted increase production and sales.

Based on the Company's need to raise additional capital as well as milestones required for its current strategic plan and increased operational costs to generate sustainable commercial revenues, there is substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

#### Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.

#### Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
The December 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements and may not include all disclosures required by GAAP; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 18, 2025.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

#### Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in certain notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current period presentation.

#### Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"). The JOBS Act, as defined, provides emerging growth companies with certain exemptions from public company reporting requirements for up to five fiscal years while a company remains an emerging growth company. As part of these exemptions, the Company need only provide two fiscal years of audited financial statements instead of three, it has reduced disclosure obligations such as for executive compensation, and it is not required to comply with auditor attestation requirements from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, regarding its internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, the JOBS Act has allowed the Company the option to delay adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a new standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company can adopt the new or revised standard at the same time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

#### Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

#### Use of Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The amounts that involve significant estimates include equity-based compensation, asset and liability valuations, certain equity issuances, and other fair value estimates reported. The assumptions used in calculating fair value represent the Company's best estimates. However, these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change or the Company uses different assumptions, any gain or loss recognized using estimates could be materially different.

#### Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed description of the Company's Significant Accounting Policies, please refer to the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on June 18, 2025.

#### Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") issued ASU 2024-01, *Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards*, which improves current U.S. GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2025 did not have a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

#### Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, *Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220*-40*): Clarifying the Effective Date*. This ASU amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial reporting disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. This ASU requires additional disclosures by disaggregating the costs and expense line items that are presented on the face of the income statement. The disaggregation includes: (i) amounts of purchased inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and other related costs and expenses; (ii) an explanation of costs and expenses that are not disaggregated on a quantitative basis; and (iii) the definition and total amount of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This ASU should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its financial reporting disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is permitted for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures.

#### Note 3. Merger Transaction and Acquisition

#### Less Common Metals Ltd. Acquisition
On September 26, 2025, Laconia Acquisition Sub Limited ("Laconia"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with Indian Ocean Rare Metals Pte. Ltd. ("IORM"), a Singapore private limited company. IORM's operating subsidiary is Less Common Metals Ltd. ("LCM"), a United Kingdom (U.K.)-based manufacturer of specialized rare earth metals and both cast and strip-cast alloys. LCM produces both light and heavy rare earth permanent magnet metals and alloys at scale in its facility in Cheshire, U.K. The Company believes the acquisition will provide:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to critical rare earth metal and metal alloy production and high-quality rare-earth strip cast alloy, which is essential to magnet production;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to unique assets and competitive advantages which allows the Company to control its rare earth metal inputs, as well as ensure that investments are made to support the growth of its magnet business, as well as enabling the Company to deliver a lower risk and lower cost solution that is unique to the industry;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 3. Merger Transaction and Acquisition (cont.)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• important capability to process recycled rare earth oxides which will reuse end of life magnets, and allow for a more sustainable manufacturing process; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• access to alternative low-cost sources of feedstock.

Pursuant to the Laconia Acquisition Agreement, Laconia will purchase, acquire and accept from IORM's shareholders all rights, title and interest in and to all of the shares of IORM held by the IORM shareholders, amounting to all of the outstanding and issued shares in IORM (the "Acquisition"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Laconia Acquisition Agreement, at closing, Laconia shall pay to the IORM shareholders the aggregate consideration of $100.0 million in cash and 6.74 million shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the deposit of 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock into escrow and customary deductions for net indebtedness, transaction expenses and working capital, as well as customary post-closing adjustments. Prior to the closing of the Acquisition, the Company will need to obtain a receipt of approval from (or a notification or final notification that no further action will be taken by) U.K. Secretary of State pursuant to the National Security and Investment Act 2021 ("NSIA") (including a notification by the U.K. Secretary of State that no further action will be taken in relation to the transaction, or final notification by the U.K. Secretary of State that no further action will be taken by the NSIA in relation to a call-in notice in respect of the transaction). The Company expects the Acquisition to close during the fourth quarter of 2025.

#### Business Combination Agreement
On August 21, 2024, IPXX entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended on November 12, 2024 and January 30, 2025, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among IPXX, USA Rare Earth, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("USARE LLC"), and IPXX Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of IPXX ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into USARE LLC, with USARE LLC continuing as the surviving company (the "Merger").

On March 12, 2025, as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, IPXX filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies and filed a certificate of incorporation and certificate of corporate domestication with the Delaware Secretary of State, pursuant to which IPXX was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to USA Rare Earth, Inc. (the "Domestication").

In connection with the Merger, approximately $22.8 million of cash held in trust, net of redemptions by IPXX's public shareholders, became available for use by the Company as well as $8.0 million in proceeds received from the closing of the private investment in public equity ("PIPE") financing. In addition, the Company incurred certain earnout obligations discussed further below.

#### Earnout Liabilities
As part of the Merger transaction, the Company is required to issue up to 10.1 million additional shares of Common Stock in two (2) tranches (the "Earnout Shares") upon certain triggering events commencing on March 13, 2026 and ending on March 13, 2031 (the "Earnout Period"). The two triggering events are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The first tranche of 5.05 million Earnout Shares would be distributed if, during the time period beginning on the date of the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the date of the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Earnout Period"), the market price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share and less than $20.00 per share for a period of at least twenty out of thirty consecutive trading days.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The second tranche of 5.05 million Earnout Shares would be distributed if, during the Earnout Period, the market price of the Common Stock is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share for a period of at least twenty out of thirty consecutive trading days.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 3. Merger Transaction and Acquisition (cont.)
The Earnout Shares are classified as liabilities and no additional analysis under ASC 815 is required. The Earnout Shares are recorded through the recapitalization of equity within additional paid-in capital upon recognition and are remeasured on a recurring basis. See Note 4, "Fair Value Measurements" for further information and valuation of the Earnout Shares.

As of September 30, 2025, none of the Triggering Events have occurred.

#### Forward Purchase Agreements
On March 11, 2025, IPXX entered into forward purchase agreements ("FPAs") with three (3) separate investors ("Sellers") pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to hold up to a total of approximately 1.89 million publicly held IPXX Class A ordinary shares ("Public Shares") in connection with the closing of the Merger. Each FPA amended, restated and superseded in its entirety a separate FPA with each of the Sellers, dated March 10, 2025, which had identical terms to those described herein, except that the Reset Price (as defined in the FPAs) was not subject to a floor price of $4.00. For purposes of the FPAs, the Public Shares held by each of the Sellers are referred to as such Seller's "Maximum Shares." Each Seller, acting separately and solely for its own account, was permitted, if necessary, to (i) reverse its previous election to redeem its Public Shares in connection with the Merger Transactions pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in IPXX's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or (ii) purchase Public Shares through a broker in the open market from holders of Public Shares (other than IPXX), including from holders who previously elected to redeem their Public Shares in connection with the Merger Transactions pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in IPXX's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The aggregate number of Public Shares subject to each FPA investor (the "FPA Shares") was the aggregate number of Public Shares as notified to the Company by the applicable Seller, but in no event more than such Seller's Maximum Shares set forth above. Each Seller notified the Company that it would subject the Maximum Shares to their respective FPAs. Prior to the date that was 90 days after the Closing Date (the "Maturity Date"), each Seller was permitted to sell any, or all, of their FPA Shares.

On various dates between the Closing Date of the Merger and September 30, 2025, the Sellers exercised their early termination rights under the FPAs with respect to approximately 1.89 million FPA Shares. As of September 30, 2025, all FPAs have been terminated. Upon the early termination of the FPAs, the Sellers remitted cash to the Company at the initial price of $11.00, resulting in cash proceeds received in the amount of $20.8 million from the Sellers, which was recorded as a reduction of the subscription receivable at the fair value of the terminated shares on the date of termination with an offset to additional paid-in capital.

#### Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price), and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Level 1* — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Level 2* — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*• Level 3* — Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair-value measurement and unobservable.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 4. Fair Value Measurements (cont.)
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

#### Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value of Financial Instruments on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents the financial assets measured on a recurring basis by contractual maturity, including pricing category, amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value. The Company has no Level 1 and Level 2 financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

#### Note 6. Variable Interest Entity

#### Round Top Mountain Development
Round Top Mountain Development, LLC ("RTMD") is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), has mining rights at Round Top Mountain in the State of Texas, and is developing processing technology for where the rare earth minerals are to be mined.

On May 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 80% of the equity interests of RTMD, pursuant to a contribution agreement with the Company, Texas Mineral Resource Corp. ("TMRC"), and RTMD, whereby TMRC and the Company contributed their respective rights and interests to and in Round Top Mountain to RTMD. Concurrently, the Company, TMRC, and RTMD entered into a limited liability company agreement of RTMD which documented the governance of RTMD. This acquisition resulted in the consolidation of RTMD and the recording of a non-controlling interest for the remaining TMRC equity interest.

Effective and on June 26, 2023, RTMD, USARE LLC and TMRC entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of RTMD pursuant to which, in the event that TMRC does not fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called for by USARE LLC as the manager of RTMD, USARE LLC is obligated to cover the shortfall by making additional capital contributions to RTMD (or in the event that USARE LLC does not fund, the capital call will be withdrawn). If USARE LLC does fund the capital contribution, additional equity interests in RTMD will be issued to USARE LLC and TMRC will be proportionally diluted in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement. TMRC's failure to fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called under the agreement has resulted in Company's ownership interest in RTMD to be increased to 80.57% and TMRC's interest in RTMD to be decreased to 19.43%

The following table presents the assets and liabilities associated with RTMD included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

#### Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

#### Potential Future Environmental Contingency
The Company's planned exploration and development activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally have become more restrictive. The Company will conduct its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes that its current engineering operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. While the Company's mining activities are not yet operational, the Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with all local and federal environmental laws and regulations. The ultimate amount of reclamation and other future site-restoration costs to be incurred for future mining interests is unknown and uncertain as of September 30, 2025.

#### Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notices alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. The outcomes of any legal proceedings, claims, notices or litigation are subject to uncertainty, and any claims against the Company, whether meritorious or not, can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant management time, create negative perceptions with communities, stakeholders, and government agencies and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. If an unfavorable outcome was to occur in any proceeding, claim or litigation, the Company could be adversely affected in the period in which they are resolved and the impact could be material to the Company's business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations, depending on the specific circumstances of the outcome. The Company accrues loss contingencies when it is both probable that the Company will incur the loss and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss.

#### Ramco Complaint
A complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court by Ramco Asset Management, LLC ("Ramco"), US Trading Company Metals RE, LLC ("TCM RE"), and DinSha Dynasty Trust ("DinSha") (collectively, the "Plaintiffs") on July 29, 2022 against USA Rare Earth, LLC ("USARE LLC"), Morzev Pty Ltd., Mordechai Gutnick ATF the Morzev Trust, Mordechai Gutnick, and Pini Althaus (collectively, the "Defendants"), captioned Ramco Asset Management, LLC v. USA Rare Earth, LLC, C.A. No. 2022-0665-SG (as amended, the "Complaint"). In connection with this matter and a disagreement regarding the number of units of USARE LLC that were issued to the Plaintiffs in transactions during 2019, the Complaint alleged causes of action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the Corporations Act (Australia), fraud and misrepresentation, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. The Complaint seeks a variety of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages, curative equity, attorneys fees and expenses and other relief as may be granted by the court. USARE LLC thereafter filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' claims. After motion practice and argument, the court dismissed all claims, except for Ramco's alleged breach of contract claim and alleged breach of good faith and fair dealing as asserted against the Company. On July 1, 2025, USARE LLC, Ramco, DinSha and Stewart Kleiner entered into a settlement agreement in full settlement of, amongst other things, the Complaint. See subsection "Ramco Complaint and Kleiner Notice Settlement" below. On September 5, 2025, TCM RE filed a

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies (cont.)
notice of appeal (the "Appeal") to the Delaware Supreme Court appealing the complete dismissal of its claims. TCM RE filed its appellate brief on October 28, 2025. TCM RE asserts no claims against the Company, instead asserting claims solely against Morzev Pty Ltd. Mordechai Gutnick ATF the Morzev Trust, Pini Althaus (former officer of the Company), and Mordechai Gutnick (director of the Company) (collectively "Appellees"). Appellees' responding brief is due December 1, 2025. The Company will assist Appellees in vigorously contesting this baseless Appeal.

#### Kleiner Notice
On April 1, 2025, the Company received notice from Stewart Kleiner (Managing Member of Ramco and Grantor of DinSha) asserting that a milestone triggering payment of certain equity outlined in a May 10, 2019 advisory agreement (the "Milestone Payment Notice") had been achieved as a result of the Company's reverse merger with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. II. A July 28, 2019 amendment to the advisory agreement guaranteed payment of the equity by Mordechai Gutnick in the event of a conflict between Mr. Kleiner and the Company. On July 1, 2025, the Company, USARE LLC, Ramco, DinSha and Mr. Kleiner entered into a settlement agreement in full settlement of, amongst other things, the Milestone Payment Notice and the guaranteed payment of equity by Mr. Gutnick was released. See subsection "Ramco Complaint and Kleiner Notice Settlement" below.

#### Ramco Complaint and Kleiner Notice Settlement
On July 1, 2025, Ramco, DinSha, Mr. Kleiner, the Company and USARE LLC entered into a settlement agreement and release pursuant to which, in full settlement of the Complaint and the Milestone Payment Notice, amongst other things, the Company agreed to issue 159 thousand shares of Common Stock to DinSha and agreed to pay $150 thousand to Ramco. The settlement agreement is expressly not to be construed as an admission of liability by the Company. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company determined that the consideration paid (both cash and the fair value of the Common Stock components) were both probable and estimable, and should be classified as settlement of litigation. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an estimated fair value charge of $1.8 million in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On May 2, 2025, the Company closed its $75.0 million PIPE financing agreement (the "$75M PIPE") with a single institutional investor. Under the $75M PIPE, the Company issued shares of Common Stock, Common Stock warrants, and Prefunded warrants. In exchange for the issuances of Common Stock, Common Stock warrants, and Prefunded warrants, the Company received cash of $75.0 million. The $75M PIPE specified that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• exercisability of the Common Stock and Prefunded warrants are contingent upon investor's beneficial ownership of the Company, which may not exceed 9.99% at time of exercise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Common Stock warrants will expire six (6) years from the initial exercise date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Prefunded warrants do not expire;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• embedded put rights upon a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• can be exercised in whole or in part;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• can only be exercised as long as the warrant is still outstanding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other conditions and covenants as outlined in the agreement.

Upon closing of the $75M PIPE, the Company recognized a loss of $36.9 million on the value of the issued Common Stock shares, as the fair value of the related Common Stock and Prefunded warrants on the issuance date exceeded the value of the financing received. The recognized loss on the value of the issued shares of Common Stock was

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 10. Mezzanine and Stockholders' Equity (cont.)
recognized in *(Loss) gain on fair market value of financial instruments* on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4, "Fair Value Measurements — Private Investment in Public Entity Financing" for further information regarding the valuation of the $75M PIPE Common Stock and Prefunded warrants.

On September 29, 2025 the Company closed its $125.0 million PIPE financing agreement (the "$125M PIPE") with a single institutional investor. Under the $125M PIPE, on September 29, 2025, the Company issued 8.33 million shares of Common Stock and received $125.0 million cash. The cash received under the $125M PIPE will be used for general corporate purposes.

#### Note 11. Equity-Based Compensation

#### Incentive Plans

#### 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan
The Company has reserved 13.0 million shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2024 Incentive Plan"), and the maximum number of units that may be issued pursuant to the vesting of incentive awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan is 13.0 million units, subject to certain adjustments. Each unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock. The 2024 Incentive Plan authorizes the awards of several types of equity compensation including stock options, restricted stock units ("RSU"), stock appreciation rights, performance awards ("PRSU") and other stock-based compensation.

#### Restricted Stock Units
RSU outstanding at September 30, 2025 generally vest 33⅓% annually over the three years from date of grant and are dependent upon continued employment. Non-employee board of director grants generally vest one year after the date of grant or on the date of the annual stockholders' meeting following the date of grant, whichever date occurs first. As RSU vest, the units will be settled in shares of common stock based on a one-to-one ratio.

#### USARE LLC Incentive Plan
USARE LLC issued incentive units under the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan dated May 1, 2020 and the Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan dated August 26, 2022 and amended November 2, 2022 and February 10, 2024 (the "Legacy Incentive Plan"). The incentive units were intended to constitute "profit interests" within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 (or the corresponding requirements of any subsequent guidance promulgated by the IRS or other applicable law). The rights and preferences of the incentive units were defined in the respective incentive unit agreements. The Company did not forfeit or grant any new incentive units under the Legacy Incentive Plan as of the closing date of the Merger. In addition, no new grants will be awarded under this plan.

#### Restricted Stock Unit Fair Value Assumption
The fair value of RSU granted to employees are based on the Company's common stock price on the date of grant.

#### Note 12. Government Grants

#### Tax Incremental Financing
On June 6, 2022, the Company executed a Tax Increment Financing Agreement (the "TIF Agreement") with the Stillwater Economic Development Authority (the "Authority"), a public trust having as its beneficiary the City of Stillwater, Oklahoma (the "City"), whereby the Authority will provide upfront development financing assistance to the Company of up to $7.0 million for the development of the Stillwater Facility (the "Upfront Assistance"). Additionally, entry into the TIF Agreement made USARE LLC eligible to receive a manufacturing and research and development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption for a period of five years and thereafter requires the Authority to disburse to the Company 90% of the incremental Ad Valorem taxes generated by the Ad Valorem taxes assessed against the Stillwater Facility and paid by the Company. Under the terms of the TIF Agreement, among other things, the Company is required to

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 12. Government Grants (cont.)
complete the Stillwater Facility and in doing so to make an investment of approximately $140.0 million and to employ a specified number of employees at specified levels of median compensation at various stages of the development. Subject to agreed extensions, USARE LLC is also required to commence certain phases of the development of the Stillwater Facility by no later than March 31, 2026 and complete that advanced development by no later than June 30, 2027. Should the Company default on its obligations under the Stillwater Redevelopment Agreement, the Authority may terminate the agreement and make demand for immediate repayment in full of the Upfront Assistance.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $7.0 million of deferred grant income related to cash received to date as part of the TIF Agreement, all of which is noncurrent as a component of Deferred grants. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has not recognized any of the deferred grant income amounts in profit or loss related to the TIF Agreement as the associated long-lived assets requirement and employment obligations have not been met. The Company filed the Ad Valorem Tax Exemption application for the year ending December 31, 2023, in March of 2023. Approval was received November 14, 2023 from the Stillwater Economic Development Authority for the Five-Year Ad Valorem Tax Exemption. As such, the Company has not incurred any real and personal ad valorem taxes to date.

#### Governor's Fund
On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce to receive a $1.2 million award to be used for the renovation of an existing building at the Stillwater Facility (the "Governor's Fund Agreement"), to be paid in $0.6 million increments when the Company had cumulatively spent $1.0 million and $2.0 million by March 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively, in qualifying costs related to developing the Stillwater Facility. Per the terms of the Governor's Fund Agreement, the award is subject to repayment if the Company does not comply with certain investment requirements and employee headcount and compensation standards.

During 2022, the Company incurred qualifying costs that exceeded the cumulative $2.0 million threshold specified in the contract. The total award of $1.2 million was requested and received by the Company on April 6, 2022 and was recorded as deferred grant income at the time, which will be recognized over the useful life of the related assets once placed in service.

#### Jobs Program

#### Note 13. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. The Company's effective tax rate of zero percent is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year's estimated operating results and various tax-related items. Each quarter, an estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated should the Company revise its forecast of earnings based upon its operating results. If there is a change in the estimated effective annual tax rate, a cumulative adjustment is made.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 13. Income Taxes (cont.)
The difference between the effective tax rate of zero percent and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was due to changes in the valuation allowance, which entirely offsets the Company's net deferred tax assets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company determined that, based on an evaluation of the Company's history of net losses and all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the Company's latest forecasts and cumulative losses in recent years, it was more likely than not that none or substantially none of the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized and, therefore, the Company continued to record a valuation allowance.

#### Note 14. Net Loss per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of the numerator and denominator for net loss per share attributable to holders of Common Stock.

#### USA Rare Earth, Inc.<br>Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

#### Note 15. Segment Reporting
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment; that segment being the vertically integrated, domestic rare earth element magnet production supply chain. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its chief executive officer.

The CODM evaluates performance based on the consolidated net income (loss), which is also the measure of segment profit or loss. Performance is reviewed on a consolidated basis, and segment assets are consistent with total assets presented on the face of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Capital expenditures and equipment deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 totaled $13.4 million and are included in the consolidated assets.

Because the Company operates in a single segment and the CODM uses the consolidated net income (loss) and the total assets as the primary measures, no reconciliation is required between segment measures and the consolidated financial statement amounts. The Company has not identified any significant segment expenses outside of those presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of <br>USA Rare Earth, Inc. and its Subsidiaries

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of USA Rare Earth, LLC and its Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, mezzanine equity and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ HORNE LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2024.

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
USA Rare Earth, LLC (the "Company" or "USARE") is a privately held company organized in 2019 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company's mission is to establish a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that supports the future state of energy, mobility, and national security in the United States. USARE is developing a NdFeB magnet manufacturing plant in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and intends to establish domestic rare earth and critical minerals supply, extraction, and processing capabilities to both supply its magnet manufacturing plant and market surplus materials to third parties. Rare earth magnets are critical to various business sectors and industries, including the defense, automotive, aviation, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics industries, among others. USARE is planning to take a broad approach to the industries it serves with the intention of providing high quality NdFeB magnets to a variety of industries and customers. USARE's focus on developing domestic rare earth production aligns with national priorities, offering the potential of a sustainable and secure domestic supply of materials critical to key industries.

On May 17, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 80% of the equity interests of Round Top Mountain Development, LLC ("RTMD"), pursuant to a contribution agreement with the Company, Texas Mineral Resource Corp. ("TMRC"), and RTMD, whereby TMRC and the Company contributed their respective rights and interests to and in Round Top Mountain in Texas to RTMD. Concurrently, the Company, TMRC, and RTMD entered into a limited liability company agreement of RTMD which documented the governance of RTMD. This acquisition resulted in the consolidation of RTMD, which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and the recording of a non-controlling interest for the remaining 20% of equity interest. Due to TMRC's failure to fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called for by USARE, the Company's ownership interest in RTMD has increased to approximately 81% as of December 31, 2024. See Note 6, "Variable Interest Entity" for further details.

On February 12, 2024, the Company filed IRS Form 8832 (Entity Classification Election or "CTB Election") to be classified as a corporation for federal tax purposes effective February 12, 2024 (the "Conversion"). The Conversion is intended to simplify the tax organizational structure of the Company and expand the investor base. Company Management also believes the elimination of the complexities of Schedule K-1 reporting will significantly reduce the administrative burden, complexity, and cost of tax reporting and compliance obligations of the Company and the holders of USARE units. Effective as of February 11, 2024, pursuant to the Sixth Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, the holders of the units will hold the same class of equity (Class A, Class B, Class C, Class C-1 units, and Incentive units) or other securities (i.e., Class B and Class C Warrants) in the corporation. All holders of units will be deemed to have received stock in the corporation with substantially similar terms to the units of the Company.

*Inflection Point Holdings II, LLC ("IPXX") Business Combination Agreement*

On August 21, 2024, IPXX entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended on November 12, 2024 and January 30, 2025, the "Business Combination Agreement"), by and among IPXX, USA Rare Earth, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("USARE LLC"), and IPXX Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of IPXX ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into USARE LLC, with USARE LLC continuing as the surviving company (the "Merger").

On March 13, 2025 (the "Closing Date" or "Closing"), USARE consummated the previously announced Merger and related transactions (the "Merger Transactions") contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Subsequent to the IPXX domestication as a Delaware corporation and changing its name to USA Rare Earth, Inc ("USAR"), USARE LLC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of USAR. As a result of the Merger Transactions, all issued and outstanding Class A and B common units, Class C and C-1 preferred units, equity-based incentive units and warrants to acquire Class B common units and Class C preferred units of USARE LLC were converted into shares of USAR common stock ("Common Stock") using an exchange ratio of 0.2043578 ("Exchange Ratio"). On the Closing Date all incentive units were considered fully vested. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable for USARE LLC warrants and incentive units was calculated using the treasury method of accounting on a cashless exercise basis. Additionally, all issued and outstanding Class A-1 and A-2 preferred units of USARE LLC were converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of USAR Series A Preferred stock. Warrants to acquire USAR Class A common stock issued to the holders of Preferred Class A-1 and A-2 units were converted into a right to acquire Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Disclosure of issued and outstanding shares and warrants as of and during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are reflective of the exchange ratio in the reverse recapitalization.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION (cont.)
Following the closing of the Merger Transactions, shares of USAR Common Stock and USAR warrants began trading on Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the symbols "USAR" and "USARW", respectively, on March 14, 2025.

As a result of the Merger, USAR is a holding company, in which substantially all of the assets and business are held by USARE LLC and its subsidiaries and continues to operate through USARE LLC and its subsidiaries. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and not as a business combination. Under this method of accounting, IPXX is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of USARE LLC issuing stock for the net assets of IPXX, accompanied by a recapitalization. USARE LLC has been determined to be the accounting predecessor to the combined entity.

These consolidated financial statements refer to the mining operations of the Company, conducted through RTMD, at Round Top Mountain in Texas ("Round Top") and the Company's research and development facility in Colorado as the "Round Top Project". RTMD has mining rights in Texas and is developing processing technology for the rare earth minerals which are to be mined in Texas. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements give effect to the Exchange Ratio for all periods presented. Accordingly, stockholders' equity as well as weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding reflect the issuance of Common Stock adjusted by the Exchange Ratio and retroactive application of the reverse recapitalization. Additionally, the Company's historical two-class method required for participating securities in net loss per share information was retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Company's new one-class common stock capital structure upon Closing of the Merger. In connection with the Exchange Ratio, proportionate adjustments were made to increase the per share exercise price and distribution threshold and reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the outstanding warrants and incentive units, respectively, whereby approximately the same aggregate price is required to be paid for such securities upon cashless exercise as had been payable immediately preceding application of the Exchange Ratio.

#### Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated no revenues since inception, continues to incur losses from operations, and has an accumulated deficit. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a net loss of $16.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company used $13.0 million and $21.9 million cash in operating activities, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to fund its operations and execute its business plan through one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 of $16.8 million, along with the subsequent cash proceeds of approximately $15.0 million upon early terminations of Forward Purchase Agreements ("FPA") and financings of approximately $15.0 million and $75.0 million that closed in February 2025 and May 2025, respectively, will not be sufficient to implement its strategic business plan. The Company will need to raise substantial additional funds to complete its strategic plans, which include capital investments related to the Phase 1 magnet plant. Based on its available cash resources and current business plan, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise capital to implement its business plan, generate sufficient revenues, and to control operating expenses. The Company expects to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all. As a result, the Company has concluded that management's plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

#### Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, to reclassify certain mineral interests.

#### Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

#### Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The amounts that involve significant estimates include equity-based compensation, asset and liability valuations, certain equity issuances, and other fair value estimates reported. The assumptions used in calculating fair value represent our best estimates. However, these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change or we use different assumptions, any gain or loss recognized using estimates could be materially different.

#### Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in two related industries, magnet technology and mining, both of which are subject to intense competition, development risk, and changes in U.S. governmental policies related to green energy, defense spending, and dependence on foreign suppliers. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties, including financial and operational risks, as well as the potential risk of business failure.

The magnet technology industry is still in its infancy in the U.S., and thus its technology, processes, and capabilities are still being developed. The magnet facility requires substantial capital commitment to complete, and there may be unanticipated costs or delays associated with its construction. The Company's plans for producing magnets are based on certain estimates and assumptions made about the business over the next few years, including the ability to obtain the equipment and materials needed to produce magnets from third party vendors on a timely basis. Some of the requisite equipment and materials may be difficult to obtain, and there can be no assurance that they will be procured on time, or that their procurement will not be delayed due to circumstances beyond the Company's control. Due to rapidly rising demand, there is also a risk that substitute products will become available and reduce the need for the type of high-performance magnet currently in use.

USARE has not yet established that Round Top contains any commercially exploitable quantities of proven and probable mineral reserves, nor can there be any assurance that USARE will be able to do so. Even if the Company does eventually establish commercially exploitable quantities of mineral reserves, there can be no assurance that Round Top can be developed into a producing mine or that the Company can extract those minerals economically. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk, and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on several

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
factors including the size, grade, and other attributes of the mineral deposit, as well as proximity of said deposits to infrastructure, government regulation, market prices, and so on. Most of these factors will be beyond the Company's control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral deposits unprofitable.

#### Cash and cash equivalents
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits. The Company considers cash equivalents to be highly liquid investments, including U.S. treasury and agency securities purchased with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Management considers the risk of loss to be minimal.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of $16.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, of funds held in bank and investment accounts with financial institutions in the United States.

The Company continually monitors its cash positions with the financial institutions through which it invests. The Company maintains balances in various U.S. financial institutions in excess of U.S. federally insured limits.

#### Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consist of direct legal, advisory, and other fees related to the Merger Agreement, and related transactions as described in Note 1 "Organization". These costs are capitalized as incurred and they are presented as part of current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and totaled $5.1 million and $73 thousand as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Upon the completion of the Merger Agreement, deferred offering costs directly related to the issuance of shares will be netted against the proceeds from the Merger and recorded as an offset in stockholders' equity.

#### Changes in Ownership Interest Without Loss of Control
Changes in a parent's ownership interest that do not result in a change in control of the subsidiary that is a business are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e., no gain or loss is recognized in earnings) and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 810 — *Consolidation*. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest ("NCI") is adjusted to reflect the change in the NCI's ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the NCI is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration received is attributed to stockholders' equity and recognized in additional paid-in capital ("APIC").

#### Fair Value
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price), and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair-value measurement and unobservable.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

See additional information in Note 3, "Fair Value Measurements".

#### Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10 — *Impairment or Disposal of Long*-Lived *Assets*, the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, mineral interests and equipment deposits, to test whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying value may not be recoverable. When impairment indicators are identified, a recoverability analysis is performed by comparing estimated future net cash flows with the carrying value and future obligations on an undiscounted basis. If an asset's carrying value exceeds such estimated cash flows, the Company would record an impairment loss for the difference between the asset's carrying amount and its fair value. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not determinable and where other conditions indicate the potential for impairment, management uses available market information and/or third-party valuation experts to assess if the carrying value can be recovered and to estimate fair value.

The Company did not record impairment related to long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

*Property, Plant, and Equipment*

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Advance payments of equipment not yet received are recorded as equipment deposits on the consolidated balance sheets. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3-15 years for lab equipment, 10-20 years for magnet plant equipment, and 20-30 years for buildings and land improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Depreciation commences once the asset is ready for its intended use. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation, is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

The costs of normal maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements are expensed as incurred.

*Mineral Properties and Evaluation and Exploration Costs*

Mining property acquisition costs, including indirectly related acquisition costs, are capitalized when incurred. The cost of mining properties is included in mineral interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair market value of units issued as consideration. Evaluation and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it is determined that a mining deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K, development costs incurred after such determination will be considered for capitalization. The establishment of proven and probable reserves is based on results of feasibility studies, which indicate whether a property is economically feasible. The Company also capitalizes the cost for Value Beyond Proven and Probable ("VBPP") reserves when it acquires the rights to mining properties. Upon commencement of commercial production, capitalized costs will be amortized over their estimated useful lives or units of production, whichever is a more reliable measure. Capitalized amounts relating to a property that is abandoned or otherwise considered uneconomic for the foreseeable future are written off.

The recoverability of the carrying values of mining properties is dependent upon economic reserves being discovered or developed on the properties. Development and/or start-up of a project will depend on, among other things, management's ability to raise sufficient capital for these purposes.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
The Company assesses the carrying value of mining properties for impairment whenever information or circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. This would include events and circumstances such as the inability to obtain all the necessary permits, changes in the legal status of mining properties, government actions, the results of exploration activities and technical evaluations, and changes in economic conditions, including the price of commodities or input prices.

#### Leases
At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use ("ROU") assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU assets may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. Leases with a term of 12 months or less and/or a purchase option that is not expected to be exercised are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

Effective June 30, 2023, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for lease and non-lease components. Previously, the Company elected the practical expedient upon adoption of ASC 842, — *Leases* to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component. The new method of accounting allocates the consideration paid separately to lease and non-lease components. Under the new accounting policy, these non-lease component costs are recorded as lease expense when paid rather than capitalized to the ROU asset and recognized over the lease term. The new accounting policy more accurately aligns the non-lease component costs with the period in which they were incurred. In accordance with ASC 250-10, — *Accounting Changes and Error Corrections*, the cumulative effect of the change in accounting policy was applied to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2023, with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the accumulated deficit of approximately $39 thousand.

The Company recognizes lease expense for its leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognizes variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date.

#### Derivatives
The Company analyzed the conversion feature of its note payable for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 *Derivatives and Hedging*. ASC 815-15 requires that the conversion features are bifurcated and separately accounted for as an embedded derivative contained in a convertible note. The embedded derivative is carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Any unrealized change in fair value, as determined at each measurement period, is recorded as a component of the income statement and the associated carrying amount on the balance sheet is adjusted by the change. See Note 11 "Note Payable" for further details of the Company's note payable.

#### Government Grants
Because there is no specific guidance under U.S. GAAP that addresses the recognition and measurement of government assistance received by non-government entities, the Company accounts for government assistance by analogy to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants. The guidance within IAS 20 allows companies to choose between two options for how the associated profit or loss relating to the deferred income over the life of an underlying asset will be presented for grants related to assets. The Company has elected to account for these grants through profit and loss over the depreciable life of the underlying assets. The guidance within IAS 20 also allows companies to choose between two options of accounting for grants related to income. The Company has elected to report this category of grants as a reduction in the related expenses. See Note 15 "Government Grants" for further details of the Company's government grants.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

#### Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms pursuant to the guidance of ASC 480, *Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity* and ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all of the Company's outstanding warrants were equity-classified.

#### Equity-Based Compensation
The Company expenses equity-based compensation to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718, *Compensation — Stock Compensation*. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is measured at the date of grant and amortized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of awards granted.

In the case of a share-based compensation award that is either cancelled or forfeited prior to vesting, the amortized expense associated with the unvested awards is reversed. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. See Note 14, "Equity-Based Compensation" for further information regarding stock-based compensation expense and the assumptions used in estimating the expense.

#### Dividends
As the Company has an accumulated deficit, dividends are recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, dividends are recorded against accumulated deficit. Paid-in-kind dividends are recorded at estimated fair value in accordance with ASC 845, *Nonmonetary Transactions.*

#### Net loss per Share
The Company reports both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of warrants, incentive units and other types of convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of warrants, incentive units and other types of convertible securities. Securities are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive, such as in periods where a net loss has been reported.

#### Variable Interest Entities
The Company assesses its investments and other significant relationships to determine whether it has a variable interest in any legal entities and whether or not those entities are VIEs. A VIE is an entity with insufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if it has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly influence the VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

#### Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset-and-liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for tax and financial reporting purposes measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse, net

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024. In addition, and given the Company's cumulative losses, no current income tax benefit has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the Company's provision for income taxes.

#### Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. The ASU requires additional disclosures by disaggregating the costs and expense line items that are presented on the face of the income statement. The disaggregation includes: (i) amounts of purchased inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and other related costs and expenses; (ii) an explanation of costs and expenses that are not disaggregated on a quantitative basis; and (iii) the definition and total amount of selling expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The ASU should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our financial reporting disclosures.

On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted a new set of rules that require a wide range of climate-related disclosures, including material climate-related risks, information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the registrant's business, results of operations or financial condition, Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions on a phased-in basis by certain larger registrants when those emissions are material and the filing of an attestation report covering the same, and disclosure of the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions including costs and losses. Compliance dates under the final rule are phased in by registrant category. Multiple lawsuits have been filed challenging the SEC's new climate rules, which have been consolidated and will be heard in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rules until judicial review is complete. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the final rules on its disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, *Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards*, which improves current GAAP by adding an illustrative example to demonstrate how an entity should apply the scope guidance to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this standard provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its disclosures.

#### Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 *— Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-07"). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about segment expenses. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and is to be adopted retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

#### NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN SEARCH MINERALS, INC. (cont.)
As of December 31, 2023, based on its publicly traded share price, the Search shares of common stock were worth $40 thousand. On April 8, 2024, Search received a British Columbia Securities Commission cease trade order ("CTO") for failure to file audited annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the years ended November 30, 2023 and 2022. Since the CTO, the average daily trading volume of Search common stock has been less than four thousand shares on the over-the-counter market ("OTC") and as of December 31, 2024, the CTO remains in effect. Due to the low trading volume and level of activity of the Search shares of common stock on OTC, the Company does not believe it will be able to sell its shares on the OTC. Based on the facts and circumstances, the Company determined the OTC stock price is no longer representative of the fair value of its Search shares of common stock and recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Prior to the impairment, the Company had recorded a gain of $0.4 million and a loss of $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

#### NOTE 6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

#### Round Top Mountain Development
On May 17, 2021, RTMD, the Company, and TMRC entered into a limited liability company agreement that governs the business and affairs of RTMD. On May 17, 2021, RTMD, the Company, and TMRC also entered into a contribution agreement, whereby USARE and TMRC contributed certain assets and assigned certain liabilities to RTMD and USARE acquired 80% of the equity interests of RTMD.

Effective June 26, 2023, RTMD, the Company and TMRC entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of RTMD pursuant to which, in the event that TMRC does not fund its share of mandatory capital contributions called for by USARE as the manager of RTMD, USARE is obligated to cover the shortfall by making additional capital contributions to RTMD (or in the event that USARE does not fund, the capital call will be withdrawn). If USARE does fund the capital contribution, additional equity interests in RTMD will be issued to USARE and TMRC will be proportionally diluted in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, TMRC's interest in RTMD had been reduced to 19.43% and 19.60%, respectively, as a result of failing to fund calls for mandatory cash contributions.

#### NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

#### Potential Future Environmental Contingency
The Company's planned exploration and development activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and generally have become more restrictive. The Company will conduct its operations to protect public health and the environment and believes that its current engineering operations are materially in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. While the Company's mining activities are not yet operational, the Company has made, and expects to make in the future, expenditures to comply with all local and federal environmental laws and regulations. The ultimate amount of reclamation and other future site-restoration costs to be incurred for future mining interests is unknown and uncertain at December 31, 2024.

#### Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notices alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in litigation, the impact could be material to the Company's business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations, depending on the specific circumstances of the outcome. The Company accrues loss contingencies when it is both probable that the Company will incur the loss and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss.

On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with a former financial advisor which includes cash payments to be completed by December 1, 2024 and the option to exercise Convertible Preferred Class B and Class C warrants within 5 years from the date of delivery. As of December 31, 2024, both of these obligations have been met.

A complaint was filed in Delaware Chancery Court by Ramco Asset Management, LLC ("***Ramco***"), US Trading Company Metals RE, LLC, and Dinsha Dynasty Trust (collectively, the "***Plaintiffs***") on July 29, 2022 against USA Rare Earth, LLC ("***USA Rare Earth***"), Morzev Pty Ltd., Mordechai Gutnick ATF the Morzev Trust, Mordechai Gutnick, and Pini Althaus (collectively, the "***Defendants***"), captioned Ramco Asset Management, LLC v. USA Rare Earth, LLC, C.A. No. 2022-0665-SG (as amended, the "***Complaint***"). In connection with this matter and a disagreement regarding the number of units of USA Rare Earth that were issued to the Plaintiffs in transactions during 2019, the Complaint alleged causes of action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the Corporations Act (Australia), fraud and misrepresentation, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. The Complaint seeks a variety of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages, curative equity, attorneys fees and expenses and other relief as may be granted by the court. USA Rare Earth thereafter filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' claims. After motion practice and argument, the court dismissed all claims, except for Ramco's alleged breach of contract claim and alleged breach of good faith and fair dealing as asserted against USA Rare Earth. The remaining plaintiff has not quantified its alleged damages. Ramco and USA Rare Earth are now engaged in discovery, with trial scheduled for November 2025. USA Rare Earth intends to contest this matter vigorously.

#### Transaction Bonuses
The Company has agreements with certain individuals and entities that would require a payment of cash in the event of a change in control transaction or qualifying equity financing, as defined by the applicable agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has agreements in place regarding the potential payment of up to $4.1 million in cash and $0.2 million of restricted stock units related to transaction bonuses, if payment is triggered by the occurrence of any of the defined events. The Company has currently determined to pay up to $2.6 million in cash and $0.2 million of restricted stock units upon the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the applicable agreements. No amounts have been accrued for these transaction bonuses as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 as they were not deemed to be probable until the qualifying transaction has been consummated.

|  Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) | 0.29 | 1.14 |
|  Weighted-average discount rate | 8.76% | 7.56% |

---

Operating lease liabilities are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate estimated at the date of each lease commencement.

Lease expense for operating leases recorded in the consolidated statements of operations included in general and administrative expenses is based on the future minimum lease payments recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease costs were $162 thousand and $437 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

#### NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has established 401(k) tax-deferred savings plans (the "401(k) Plans"), which permit participants to make contributions by salary deduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is responsible for the administrative costs of the 401(k) Plans. The Company makes Safe-Harbor matching contributions and may, at its discretion, make additional matching contributions to the 401(k) Plans. The Company contributed $128 thousand and $153 thousand in matching contributions to the 401(k) Plans for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

#### NOTE 11. NOTE PAYABLE
On July 28, 2023, USA Rare Earth, LLC and Hatch LTD ("Hatch") entered into an unsecured $1.0 million Senior Convertible Promissory Note agreement (the "Note") with a 10% interest rate, which will mature on July 28, 2025. Total interest of $200 thousand is payable at maturity. A Side Letter and Memorandum of Understanding, signed contemporaneously with the Note, provides for potential issuances of an aggregate amount of $4.0 million in additional Notes in two additional tranches.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 11. NOTE PAYABLE (cont.)
The conversion option can be triggered under the following four scenarios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Qualified financing — Capital issuance of at least $100 million. Upon the occurrence of a qualified financing, the principal and unpaid accrued interest under the Note will automatically convert, with the Company having the option to pay accrued interest in cash, to a number of securities equal to the outstanding balance divided by the lesser of: (i) discount of 80% times the per unit purchase price paid in the qualified financing, and (ii) the valuation cap of $600 million divided by the fully diluted capitalization just prior to closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-qualified financing — Any capital issuance by the Company that does not constitute a qualified financing. Upon the occurrence of a non-qualified financing, the principal and unpaid accrued interest may be paid in full or converted, at Hatch's option, to a number of securities equal to the outstanding balance divided by the lesser of: (i) discount of 80% times the per unit purchase price paid in the non-qualified financing, and (ii) the valuation cap of $600 million divided by the fully diluted capitalization just prior to closing; however, should the non-qualified financing be consummated based upon a post-money valuation of the Company of less than the valuation cap of $600 million, the conversion will be subject to the Company's written consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fundamental conversion — A sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or exclusive license to all or substantially all of the Company's material intellectual property, a merger or consolidation with another entity, or a transfer of equity of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. The principal and unpaid and accrued interest may be paid in full or converted, at Hatch's option, to a number of securities equal to the outstanding balance divided by the quotient of the valuation cap of $600 million divided by the fully diluted capitalization just prior to closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maturity conversion — Conversion at maturity. The principal and unpaid accrued interest may be paid in full or converted, at Hatch's option, to a number of securities equal to the outstanding balance divided by the quotient of the valuation cap of $600 million divided by the fully diluted capitalization just prior to closing.

The Company determined the conversion feature of the Note was considered an embedded derivative in accordance with *ASC 815*-15 *Derivatives and Hedging*-Embedded *Derivatives*. A fair value analysis and valuation was completed by a third-party specialist as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 to determine the fair value of the derivative. Based upon these valuation, the Company's derivative liability as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.2 million and $420 thousand, respectively. Management reviews the valuation of the embedded derivative periodically to ensure no material change has occurred during the interim reporting period. Changes to the fair value are recognized as fair market gains or losses in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

A discount of $446 thousand on the Note was recorded as an offset to the initial recognition of the compound embedded derivative and will be recognized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Note. Interest expense recognized from the discount on the Note for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $211 thousand and $66 thousand, respectively. An additional $100 thousand and $43 thousand was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for the stated interest on the Note. The effective interest rate of the Note is 44.875%.

#### NOTE 12. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Subscription Agreement (the "CPSA") with JI ILHO JOHAP. The Subscription closed on July 29, 2022 for $20.2 million and was convertible into the Company's common units upon the occurrence of specific events, including the next equity financing transaction or corporate transaction, as defined, or upon maturity. The CPSA had an original stated maturity date of December 30, 2022.

The CPSA liability was recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 480, as the instrument obligates the Company to issue a variable number of units upon conversion. The fair value was remeasured each reporting period, and any changes in fair value were recognized in earnings.

The CPSA had a conversion price equal to the per unit price paid in the next equity financing or a per unit price paid to the holders of Class A units in the event of a corporate transaction, and in the event of maturity, the liability would convert into Class A units at a fixed price per unit of $5.50.

The CPSA was amended on December 30, 2022 to extend the maturity date of the Subscription to March 30, 2023. All other terms remained unchanged.

The fair value of the liability was determined using the fixed monetary value of the CPSA and fell under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820. The significant inputs used in the fair value measurement included probability estimates for each settlement alternative and the settlement fair value for each alternative.

A third amendment was executed on March 30, 2023, to extend the maturity date of the CPSA to August 31, 2023. All other terms remained unchanged. Therefore, the fair value remained the same since the inputs to the fair value determination did not significantly change.

A fourth amendment was executed on August 31, 2023, to extend the maturity date by eight more days to September 8, 2023, and added a conversion provision linked with an "investment agreement with mutually agreeable terms." All other terms remained unchanged. At that point in time, the closing of the investment transaction the Company was pursuing was considered to be the most likely outcome. Therefore, the CPSA Liability was remeasured on August 31, 2023 to a fair value of $3.2 million using the fixed monetary value of the CPSA weighted for probability estimates for each settlement alternative and the settlement fair value for each alternative, resulting in a gain on remeasurement of $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.

A fifth amendment was executed on September 8, 2023, to extend the maturity date from September 8, 2023 to October 30, 2023, and to change the conversion alternatives to be linked with the investment transaction the Company was pursuing and the conversion units to Class A units only. All other terms remained unchanged. The fair value remained the same since the weighted probabilities of settlement alternatives and the conversion price used in the fair value determination did not change.

The Company and the CPSA investors consented to convert the CPSA at the C-1 Round price per unit of $8.47 into Class A units effective October 15, 2023. When the conversion agreement was reached between the parties, all other settlement alternatives were eliminated and the weighted probability inputs into the fair value measurement were updated to reflect the one remaining settlement scenario. Therefore, the CPSA liability was remeasured to a fair value of $3.4 million, resulting in a loss on remeasurement of $233 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result of the conversion, the Company issued 2,390,592 Class A units recorded in stockholders' equity at the estimated fair value of $3.4 million.

#### NOTE 13. MEZZANINE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

#### Units Authorized
The Company originally authorized 500,000,000 Class A Common units and 500,000,000 Class B Common units. On October 15, 2020, a majority-in-interest of the unit holders approved the Second Amended and Restated Company Agreement that, among other things, authorized the issuance of 25,000,000 Class C Convertible Preferred units.

On March 3, 2021, a majority-in-interest of the unit holders approved the Third Amended and Restated Company Agreement that, among other things, authorized the issuance of 50,000,000 Class C Convertible Preferred units and set aside up to 75,000,000 of the previously authorized 500,000,000 Class B Common units to be issued upon optional or mandatory conversion of the Class C Convertible Preferred units plus paid and accrued dividends. The amended agreement also authorized the Company to issue the greater of 50,000,000 incentive units or 10% of the total number of units of Class A Common issued and outstanding at any time, pursuant to the Incentive Plan.

On November 2, 2022, a majority-in-interest of the combined Class A, Class B, and Class C Convertible Preferred holders approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Company Agreement, which among other things, authorized an increase in the number of Incentive units that the Company could issue to 50,000,000, pursuant to the Incentive Plan. The designations, rights, and preferences of the units are determined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Company Agreement.

On August 21, 2024, a majority-in-interest of the combined Class A, Class B, Class C and Class C-1 Convertible Preferred holders approved the First Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Company Agreement, which among other things, authorized the issuance of 25,000,000 Class A-1 Convertible Preferred units and 25,000,000 Class A-2 Convertible Preferred units, increased the Class A Convertible Preferred units authorized for issuance to 600,000,000 plus any additional Class A Common units as would be necessary to allow for the conversion of Class A-1 and Class A-2 Convertible Preferred units plus paid and accrued dividends.

The following describes the rights and preferences of the Company's mezzanine and stockholders' equity prior to the reverse recapitalization associated with the Merger Transaction described in Note 1.

#### Class A Common Units
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 42,204,083 Class A Common units issued and outstanding.

The Company from time-to-time issues Class A Common units as compensation. On November 4, 2022, the Company hired a new Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and member of its Board of Managers, commencing December 1, 2022. As part of the CEO's employment agreement, the Board of Managers authorized 187,449 Class A Common units to be issued as compensation, with an estimated fair value of $0.6 million. The Class A Common units issued to the CEO vested over a 3-year period beginning January 2, 2023, subject to the grantee's continuing employment. On November 8, 2023, the Class A Common units issued to the CEO were modified to vest two-thirds in two years and the remaining one third in three years. The Class A Common units provided for accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company.

With respect to the Class A Common units issued to the CEO, none were vested as of December 31, 2023. The CEO's employment agreement was terminated effective March 16, 2024, and as part of the separation agreement, all remaining unvested Class A Common units were forfeited.

#### Class B Common Units
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 4,246,283 Class B Common units issued and outstanding.

#### NOTE 13. MEZZANINE AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (cont.)

#### Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred Units
On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements to issue Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units together with Class A Purchase Warrants for gross cash proceeds of $25.5 million and a subscription receivable of $1.25 million at a price per unit of $10.20. The financing comprises:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 1,176,471 Class A-1 Convertible Preferred units, 1,446,078 Class A-2 Convertible Preferred units, and 3,000,000 Class A Purchase Warrants were issued in exchange for gross cash proceeds of $25.5 million and a subscription receivable of $1.25 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units accrue dividends (whether or not declared) at the rate per annum of 12% of the Original Issue Price plus the amount of previously accrued dividends, compounded quarterly and paid semiannually. Dividends are paid, at the sole discretion of the Company, in cash or Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units, but not in combination. If the Company pays the dividends in cash, the amount paid will be as if the rate per annum were 10% in lieu of the 12%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In accordance with the First Amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Company Agreement, the Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units may be converted into Class A Convertible Preferred units at any time on a 1:1 basis, subject to normal dilution provisions. The Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units will mandatorily convert into shares of Series A Preferred Stock of New USARE on a one for one (1:1) basis, subject to normal dilution provisions upon Closing of the Merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If the Merger is not closed within 12 months of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the delay is reasonably deemed to be due to factors within the Company's control, the Class A-2 investors have the option to require the Company to repurchase 100% of the Class A-2 Convertible Preferred units, including all dividends paid in Class A-2 units or accrued but unpaid at the Original Issue Price.

A delay in the Business Combination beyond the 12-month deadline, where the delay is reasonably deemed to be due to factors within the Company's control, could cause the shares to be redeemable at the option of the investing shareholder. The A-2 Convertible Preferred units were determined by Management to be temporary equity classified in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A — *Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity* because the redemption feature of such shares is not solely within the control of the Company since, among other things, the option to exercise the redemption right is held by the shareholder and not the Company. Class A-1 Convertible Preferred units and Class A Purchase Warrants were determined to be equity classified. As such, none of the instruments are required to be remeasured at fair value. Accordingly, a relative fair value method was applied to allocate the proceeds between the three instruments as follows (in thousands):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **Instrument** | **Amount** |
|  Class A-1 Convertible Preferred Units | $9052 |
|  Class A-2 Convertible Preferred Units | 11415 |
|  Class A Purchase Warrants | 6283 |
|  **Total** | $**26750** |

*Dividends*

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 52,245 and 64,219 Convertible Preferred A-1 and A-2 units, respectively, as dividends.

The Company is registered in Delaware, and Delaware state law prohibits companies from issuing dividends when there is an accumulated deficit. This statutory prohibition does not apply to the Company's in-kind distributions of Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units as these dividends serve as a re-allocation of ownership interest (both assets and liabilities) between the shareholders/members, and not as a distribution of only assets from the Company to the harm of its creditors or other owners.

#### Warrants
The Company has historically granted warrants to acquire Class B Common units and Class C Convertible Preferred units. Additionally, in connection with the August 2024 issuance of Class A-1 and A-2 Convertible Preferred units, the Company issued warrants to acquire Class A Common Units. The Company accrues dividends on Class C Convertible Preferred units that provide for a cumulative 8% quarterly compounded annual dividend payable upon exercise of the warrant in additional units.

Each warrant may be exercised voluntarily by the holder from the day of issuance, subject to beneficial ownership limitations of 9.99% of the number of units of common equity outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of units of common equity issuable upon exercise of the warrants. In the event that the Company offers equity securities, each warrant holder shall have a right of first refusal to purchase up to the same percentage of such offering as such holder is entitled to via the warrants; this right will terminate upon an event of an initial public offering. The warrants will be mandatorily exercised if the Company effects any merger, sale or other disposition of substantially all of its assets, an initial public offering, other business combination, or a capital transaction in which the Company receives in excess of $100 million in consideration at a pre money valuation of $1 billion and in which a closing requirement is the exercise of the warrant.

*Class A Common Warrants*

On August 21, 2024, the Company granted warrants to Class A-1 and A-2 unit holders to acquire 3.0 million Class A Common units as part of the financing. The warrants have an exercise price of $12.00 and an intrinsic value of $nil.

The weighted average fair value for the warrants issued was approximately $3.22 per warrant based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation company. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to value the warrants, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the value of the warrants are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Year Ended <br>December 31, <br>2024** |
|  Expected volatility | 78.93% |
|  Expected dividends | 0.00% |

*Class B Convertible Preferred Warrants*

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 1,699,264 warrants to acquire Class B Common units at an exercise price of $1.17 and an intrinsic value of $16.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

*Class C Convertible Preferred Warrants*

In February 2024, the Company granted 181,519 warrants to acquire Class C Convertible Preferred units as compensation for advisory services related to the sale and issuance of Class C Convertible Preferred units. Additionally, the Company accrues quarterly warrants to acquire Class C Convertible Preferred units as paid in kind dividends.

#### NOTE 14. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

#### Incentive Units
The Company also has a program to issue incentive units under the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan dated May 1, 2020 and the Second Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan dated August 26, 2022 and amended November 2, 2022 and February 10, 2024 (the "Incentive Plan"). The incentive units are intended to constitute "profit interests" within the meaning of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Procedures 93-27 and 2001-43 (or the corresponding requirements of any subsequent guidance promulgated by the IRS or other applicable law). The rights and preferences of the incentive units are defined in the respective incentive unit agreements. As of December 31, 2024, there were 2.2 million units available for future awards under the Incentive Plan.

The Company accounts for these equity-based compensation awards in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, — *Compensation — Stock Compensation*. The guidance requires that the cost of employee equity awards, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the consolidated financial statements over the vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The incentive units do not have an expiration date.

The Company utilized an independent valuation company to estimate the fair value of the incentive units granted during the year ended December 31, 2024 on a quarterly basis and annually in prior years. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of incentive units granted was $3.82 and $2.50, respectively. The Company recognizes the associated costs across the vesting period using the straight-line method.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 14. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION (cont.)
The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to value the incentive units, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement requiring highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility. The expected volatility was estimated by taking the average historical price volatility for industry peers, consisting of several public companies in our industry which are either similar in size, stage of life cycle, or financial leverage, over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. The assumptions used in determining the value of incentive units are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Years Ended <br>December 31,** | **For the Years Ended <br>December 31,** |
|  | **2024** | **2023** |

|  Weighted-average expected volatility | 67.05% | 81.95% |
|  Expected dividends |  |  |
|  Risk-free interest rate | 4.2% – 4.34% | 3.89% – 4.01% |
|  Expected term of incentive unit | 1 – 5 Years | 4 – 5 Years |

____________

(1) The distribution threshold amount refers to the value that would need to be exceeded before the holder would receive any consideration upon a liquidation event. The intrinsic value is calculated based upon the fair value of the incentive units as of the reported date.

#### Vesting Period of Incentive Units
The Company may utilize different vesting periods, generally ranging from one year to three years, depending on the specifics of the grant. If there is a change in control, unless otherwise expressly provided in the participant's award agreement, the units will become 100% vested and any restrictions and limitations applicable to the participant's incentive units shall lapse and such incentive units shall become fully transferable.

If any of the units are forfeited prior to vesting, the Company will reverse the associated compensation cost during the period in which the forfeiture occurs.

#### Conversion of Incentive Units
Upon a qualified equity offering or a reorganization, each incentive unit may be converted, effective as of immediately prior to the qualified equity offering or reorganization, as applicable, into Company Class A Common units, determined by reference to the liquidating value of the incentive unit relative to the liquidating value of a Class A Common unit, as defined in the associated agreements.

The Class A common units expense relates to the issuance of Class A common units as part of the Company's former CEO's employment agreement. See Note 13, "Mezzanine and Shareholders'/Members Equity" for further details. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reversed $0.2 million of share-based compensation related to the grant of Class A Common units issued to the former CEO upon forfeiture of the unvested Class A Common units.

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to incentive units was $0.24 million and $1.82 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over 0.9 years and 1.3 years, respectively.

#### NOTE 15. GOVERNMENT GRANTS
The Company has government grants for the purchase or construction of long-lived assets. The Company presents grants received related to long-lived assets as non-current deferred grants liability on the consolidated balance sheets and recognizes revenue through profit or loss over the useful life of the underlying assets.

#### Tax Incremental Financing
On June 6, 2022, the Company executed a Tax Increment Financing Agreement (the "TIF Agreement") with the Stillwater Economic Development Authority (the "Authority"), a public trust having as its beneficiary the City of Stillwater, Oklahoma (the "City"), whereby the Authority will provide upfront development financing assistance to the Company of up to $7.0 million for the development of the Stillwater Facility (the "Upfront Assistance"). Additionally, entry into the TIF Agreement made USARE eligible to receive a manufacturing and research and development ad valorem tax exemption for a period of five years and thereafter requires the Authority to disburse to the Company 90% of the incremental ad valorem taxes generated by the ad valorem taxes assessed against the Stillwater Facility and paid by the Company. Under the terms of the TIF agreement, among other things, the Company is required to complete the Stillwater Facility and in doing so to make an investment of approximately $140 million and to employ a specified number of employees at specified levels of median compensation at various stages of the development. Subject to agreed extensions, USARE is also required to commence certain phases of the development of the Stillwater Facility by no later than March 31, 2026 and complete that advanced development by no later than June 30, 2027. Should the Company default on its obligations under the Stillwater Redevelopment Agreement, the Authority may terminate the agreement and make demand for immediate repayment in full of the Upfront Assistance.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $7.0 million of deferred grant income related to cash received to date as part of the TIF Agreement, all of which is noncurrent as a component of Deferred grants. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not recognize any of the deferred grant income amounts in profit or loss related to the TIF Agreement as the associated long-lived asset has not yet been placed into service. The Company filed the Ad Valorem Tax Exemption application for the year ending December 31, 2023, in March of 2023. Approval was received November 14, 2023 from the Stillwater Economic Development Authority for the Five-Year Ad Valorem Tax Exemption. As such, the Company did not incur any real and personal ad valorem taxes for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.

#### USA Rare Earth, LLC<br>Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

#### NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES (cont.)
The Company continually evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectation of future taxable income or loss, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.

As of December 31, 2024, based on the Company's history of earnings and its assessment of future earnings, management believes that it is not more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets. Therefore, a full valuation allowance has been applied to deferred tax assets.

The Company reviews uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Management of the Company is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. The 2024 tax year is considered open. The Company has no examinations in progress, and none are expected at this time. As of December 31, 2024, management of the Company has reviewed the open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded there is no tax liability, interest, or penalties resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, in future tax returns.

The potential Common shares for outstanding warrants to acquire Class B common of 1,699,264 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, warrants to acquire Class A common of 3,000,000 and nil at December 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and incentive units of 8,007,695 and 8,592,833 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods.

#### NOTE 19. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates in a single reportable operating segment; that segment being the vertically integrated, domestic rare earth element magnet production supply chain. The Company's chief operating decision makers review financial information on an aggregate basis for evaluating financial performance.

#### Consultant
USARE engaged Dan Gorski as a consultant to provide project management services for RTMD through February 2023. Mr. Gorski's compensation for such services was $10 thousand per month. Mr. Gorski was previously the Chief Executive Officer of TMRC. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid Mr. Gorski $0 and $20 thousand, respectively.

#### Shareholders / Members
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, directly and indirectly through controlled entities, Stewart Kleiner owned and controlled 7.5% and 12.4%, respectively, of the total outstanding common and convertible preferred units, respectively. On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Kleiner whereby Mr. Kleiner will provide financing and business advice and will receive a fee of 224,793 Class A Common units of the Company upon the earlier of completion of a preliminary feasibility study on the Round Top Mountain Project or upon commencement of a capital raise in conjunction with an initial public offering. The payment of the units is guaranteed by units from The Critical Minerals Trust (entity controlled by Mr. Gutnick, a member of the Company's Board) in the event of a dispute between the Company and Mr. Kleiner.
