DELIVERY AND ADDITIONAL PURCHASE OF URANIUM

Yellow Cake, a specialist Group operating in the uranium sector, holding physical uranium ("U₃O₈") for the long term, is pleased to announce that, on 16 March 2026, it took delivery of 1,331,912 lb of U₃O₈ from JSC National Atomic Company Kazatomprom ("Kazatomprom") at the Cameco storage facility in Canada.

The delivery is pursuant to the previously announced exercise by the Company of its 2025 uranium purchase option under its Framework Agreement with Kazatomprom to purchase 1,331,912 lb of U₃O₈ at a price of USD75.08/lb for a total consideration of USD100.0 million.

In February 2026, Yellow Cake informed Kazatomprom that it had elected to purchase 1,160,766 lb of U₃O₈ at a price of USD86.15/lb, or USD100.0 million in aggregate, pursuant to Yellow Cake's 2026 uranium purchase option under the Framework Agreement. Yellow Cake expects delivery to take place in the second half of 2026.

In addition to the Kazatomprom purchases, Yellow Cake has also purchased an incremental 100,000 lb of U₃O₈ which will be delivered at Orano's facility in France on 20 March 2026.

Yellow Cake currently holds 23,014,230 lb of U₃O₈ in storage in Canada and France. Following completion of the above purchases and deliveries, Yellow Cake will hold 24,274,996 lb of U₃O₈, further increasing the Group's long-term uranium holdings.

ABOUT YELLOW CAKE

Yellow Cake is a London-quoted company, headquartered in Jersey, which offers exposure to the uranium spot price. This is achieved through its strategy of buying and holding physical triuranium octoxide ("U₃O₈"). It may also seek to add value through other uranium-related activities. Yellow Cake and its wholly owned subsidiary (together, the "Group") seek to generate returns for shareholders through the appreciation of the value of its holding of U₃O₈ and its other uranium-related activities in a rising uranium price environment. The business is differentiated from its peers by its ten-year Framework Agreement for the supply of U₃O₈ with Kazatomprom, the world's largest uranium producer. The Group currently holds 23.0 million pounds of U₃O₈, all of which is held in storage in Canada and France.
