Latitude Uranium Inc. (“Latitude Uranium”, “LUR” or the “Company”) (CSE: LUR, OTCQB: LURAF, FRA: EI1) – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/latitude-uranium-inc/ – is pleased announce its notice of special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) and management information circular (the “Circular”) are now available on LUR’s website at https://latitudeuranium.com/investors/special-meeting/ as well as under LUR’s profile on SEDAR+ (http://www.sedarplus.ca). LUR has commenced the mailing of the Circular and related materials for the special meeting of LUR’s shareholders (“LUR Shareholders”) on Tuesday, January 30^th, 2024.

The Arrangement and Meeting Details

On December 7, 2023, LUR entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with ATHA Energy Corp. (CSE: SASK) (OTCQB: SASKF) (FRA: X5U) (“ATHA”) pursuant to which ATHA will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Latitude Uranium (the “LUR Shares”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”).

At the Meeting, LUR Shareholders will be asked to consider a resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) regarding the Arrangement pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding LUR Shares will be acquired by ATHA in exchange for 0.2769 of a common share of ATHA (each whole share, an “ATHA Share”) for each LUR Share held (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio is based upon ATHA’s reference price of C$1.00, and an implied consideration per LUR Share of C$0.28, which represents a 68% premium to LUR’s closing price on December 6, 2023, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Arrangement.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, former LUR Shareholders and former ATHA shareholders (including holders of ATHA subscription receipts) are expected to own approximately 30.98% and 69.02% (inclusive of approximately 1.94% to be held by current holders of ATHA subscription receipts), respectively, of the combined company (the “Combined Company”) immediately following completion of the Arrangement, based on the number of LUR Shares and ATHA Shares issued and outstanding as of January 25, 2024, after giving effect to ATHA’s concurrent financing (which assumes the issuance of an aggregate of 4,000,000 ATHA Shares upon the conversion of an equivalent number of ATHA subscription receipts) and before giving effect to the 92E Scheme (as defined herein).

LUR will hold the virtual Meeting on February 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) online at meetnow.global/MPUJSW6 with the ability for participation electronically as explained further in the Circular.

The Board of Directors of LUR unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote
IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution

LUR Shareholders are encouraged to read the Circular and vote your LUR Shares as soon as possible. The deadline for voting your LUR Shares is at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on Friday, February 23, 2024.

Strategic Rationale for the Merger

The following is a summary of the principal reasons for the unanimous recommendations of Latitude Uranium’s Board of Directors (the “LUR Board”) that LUR Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Arrangement Resolution.

• Significant Premium. Under the terms of the Arrangement, LUR Shareholders will receive 0.2769 of an ATHA Share for each LUR Share held. Based upon ATHA’s reference price of $1.00, the implied value of the Consideration per LUR Share is $0.28, representing a 68% premium to the closing price of the LUR Shares on December 6, 2023, the last trading day before the announcement of the Arrangement.
• Largest Exploration Portfolio in Canada. The Combined Company is expected to hold 7.1 million acres of exploration acreage spread across Canada’s top three uranium jurisdictions, including the largest holdings in both the Athabasca Basin (Saskatchewan) and Thelon Basin (Nunavut) – two of the highest-grade uranium districts in the world.
• Enhanced Capital Markets Profile. The Combined Company will have an increased market capitalization, allowing for greater access to capital and trading liquidity, strengthened position for future M&A, expanded research coverage and increased attractiveness among institutional investors. The Combined Company may also benefit from potential re-rating from asset diversification, as well as additional exploration upside.
• Strong Balance Sheet to Execute on Exploration Programs. With no debt and a forecast cash balance of over $55 million following completion of the Arrangement and ATHA’s concurrent financing, the Combined Company’s exploration activities are expected to be fully funded well into 2025.
• Participation in Future Growth. LUR Shareholders will receive ATHA Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and thereby will have the opportunity to participate in future increases in the value of the Combined Company and the opportunities associated with the Combined Company’s assets and properties, including entry into the Athabasca Basin and a portfolio of fully funded and ongoing exploration projects including the Gemini Discovery and carried interest upside on active exploration blocks held by NexGen Energy Ltd. and IsoEnergy Ltd.
• Outstanding Leadership. The Combined Company Board of Directors and management team will have decades of experience, and a demonstrated track record, in all facets of uranium exploration, development and capital formation needed to drive growth in uranium resources and build shareholder value.
• Business Climate and Review of Strategic Alternatives. The LUR Board has periodically reviewed a range of strategic alternatives for creating shareholder value, and in the ordinary course of business Latitude Uranium has had regular engagement with several industry peers in that regard, including other potential transactions. The LUR Board consulted with its financial and legal advisors and reviewed the current and prospective business climate in the uranium industry and other strategic opportunities reasonably available to Latitude Uranium, including continuation as an independent enterprise, taking into account the potential benefits, risks and uncertainties associated with such opportunities. The LUR Board believes that following completion of the Arrangement, the Combined Company will be better positioned to continue its strategy than Latitude Uranium as a standalone entity or in combination with another industry peer.

Additional details with respect to the Arrangement, the reasons for the unanimous recommendations of the LUR Board as well as the potential benefits and risks are described in the Circular, which LUR Shareholders are urged to read in its entirety.
