(1) We will accept Notes in the order of their respective Acceptance Priority Level specified in the table above, subject to the satisfaction of the Maximum Tender Amount Condition and the New Issue Condition (each as defined below). It is possible that the Maximum Tender Amount Condition might not be met with respect to any series of Notes with an Acceptance Priority Level greater than 1, and such series of Notes will not be accepted for purchase, even if one or more series of Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level is accepted for purchase. If any series of Notes is accepted for purchase under the Offers, all Notes of that series that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be accepted for purchase. As a result, no series of Notes accepted for purchase will be prorated.

(2) For each series of Notes in respect of which a First Optional Redemption Date is indicated, the calculation of the applicable Consideration (as defined below) has been performed assuming repayment of the principal on such First Optional Redemption Date for such series of Notes, excluding scheduled interest payments after such date.

(3) Per $1,000 principal amount.

Each Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the ‘Expiration Time‘). Notes tendered for purchase may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) today (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the ‘Withdrawal Date‘), but not thereafter, unless extended or earlier terminated with respect to an Offer by the Company in its sole discretion. We expect the settlement date to occur on May 17, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated in respect of an Offer by the Company in its sole discretion (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the ‘Settlement Date‘).

Each Offer is independent of the other Offers, and we may terminate, modify or waive the conditions of any Offer without terminating, modifying or waiving the conditions of any other Offer.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, holders who (i) validly tender Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time or (ii) validly tender Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 16, 2024 (such date and time with respect to an Offer, as the same may be extended, the ‘Guaranteed Delivery Date‘) pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), and whose Notes (i) have not been validly withdrawn at or prior to the Withdrawal Date and (ii) are accepted for purchase by us, will receive the Consideration specified in the table above for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, which will be payable in cash on the Settlement Date as described below (the ‘Consideration‘).

The Consideration applicable to each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted by us pursuant to the Offers has been determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the Offer to Purchase and with standard market practice, using the applicable ‘Offer Yield‘, which is equal to the sum of:





a)

the applicable ‘Reference Yield‘ specified in the table above that corresponds to the bid-side yield of the Reference Security specified in the table above for such series of Notes on the Bloomberg Reference Page PX1, plus





b)

the Fixed Spread specified in the table above for such series of Notes.

Accordingly, the Consideration payable by us for each $1,000 principal amount of each series of Notes accepted by us is equal to:





(i)

the present value on the Settlement Date of $1,000 principal amount of such Notes due on, in the case of the May 2026 Notes and the March 2026 Notes, the maturity date (as specified in the table above) of such Notes and in the case of the May 2027 Notes and the November 2027 Notes, the First Optional Redemption Date (as specified in the table above) of such Notes, and all scheduled interest payments on such $1,000 principal amount of such Notes to be made from (but excluding) the Settlement Date up to and including such maturity date or First Optional Redemption Date, as the case may be, discounted to the Settlement Date at a discount rate equal to the applicable Offer Yield, minus





(ii)

the Accrued Interest per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes;

such total amount being rounded to the nearest cent per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, and the above calculation has been made in accordance with standard market practice as described by the formula set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

In addition to the Consideration, holders whose Notes of a given series are accepted for purchase will also be paid a cash amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from, and including, the last interest payment date for such Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date, rounded to the nearest cent (such amount in respect of a series of Notes, ‘Accrued Interest‘). Accrued Interest will be payable on the Settlement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers. Under no circumstances will any interest be payable to holders because of any delay on the part of Global Bondholder Services Corporation, as depositary, The Depository Trust Company (‘DTC‘) or any other party in the transmission of funds to holders.

The Offers are subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Documents. In particular, the Company’s obligation to complete an Offer with respect to a particular series of Notes is conditioned on satisfaction of the ‘Maximum Tender Amount Condition‘, meaning that the sum of (a) the Consideration (excluding Accrued Interest) for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of such series plus (b) the aggregate Consideration (excluding Accrued Interest) for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of each series having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (as specified in the above table, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 4 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level), other than Excluded Notes (as defined below), does not exceed $5,000,000,000 (the ‘Maximum Tender Amount‘). Our obligation to complete the Offers is also conditioned on the successful completion, on terms and conditions satisfactory to us in our sole discretion, of the Proposed Issuance (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) (the ‘New Issue Condition‘).

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Offer to Purchase to the contrary, if the Maximum Tender Amount Condition is not satisfied for a particular series of Notes, at any time at or prior to the Expiration Time, then (1) we will not be obligated to accept for purchase such series of Notes and will terminate the Offer with respect to such series of Notes (such series of Notes, ‘Excluded Notes‘), and (2) if there is any series of Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level for which the Maximum Tender Amount Condition is satisfied, meaning the Maximum Tender Amount is equal to or greater than the sum of:





a)

the Consideration necessary to purchase all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of such series (excluding Accrued Interest), plus





b)

the aggregate Consideration necessary to purchase all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of all series having a higher Acceptance Priority Level than such series of Notes, other than the Excluded Notes (in each case, excluding Accrued Interest),

then all Notes of such series having a lower Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted for purchase, and the Maximum Tender Amount Condition will be applied at each subsequent Acceptance Priority Level until there is no series of Notes with a lower Acceptance Priority Level to be considered for purchase for which the Maximum Tender Amount Condition is met.

It is possible that any series of Notes with an Acceptance Priority Level greater than 1 will fail to meet the Maximum Tender Amount Condition and therefore will not be accepted for purchase even if one or more series with a lower Acceptance Priority Level is accepted for purchase. If any series of Notes is accepted for purchase under the Offers, all Notes of that series that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be accepted for purchase. As a result, no series of Notes accepted for purchase will be prorated.

The Company reserves the right to amend or waive any of the conditions of the Offers, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law. If any of the conditions are not satisfied at the Expiration Time with respect to an Offer, the Company may, in its sole discretion and without giving any notice, subject to applicable law, (a) terminate such Offer, (b) extend such Offer, on the same or amended terms, and thereby delay acceptance of any validly tendered Notes, or (c) continue to accept tenders.

Holders of Notes are advised to read carefully the Offer to Purchase, including the ‘Risk Factors’ section, for full details of and information on the procedures for participating in the Offers.

The Company has retained HSBC Bank plc as Dealer Manager for the Offers (the ‘Dealer Manager‘). Questions and requests for assistance related to the Offers may be directed to the Dealer Manager at UK: +44 (0)20 7992 6237, US: +1 (212) 525-5552 (Collect) or +1 (888) HSBC-4LM (Toll Free), or by email at [email protected].

Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as the information agent (the ‘Information Agent‘). Questions or requests for assistance related to the Offers or for additional copies of the Offer Documents may be directed to the Information Agent at +1 (855) 654-2014 (toll free) or +1 (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers). You may also contact your broker, dealer, custodian bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Offers.

If the Company terminates an Offer, all Notes tendered pursuant to such Offer will be returned promptly to the tendering holders thereof.

Holders of Notes are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes as to when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a beneficial owner in order for that beneficial owner to be able to participate in, or withdraw their instruction to participate in, an Offer before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and DTC for the submission and withdrawal of tender instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase.

(1)

Subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap and proration, the principal amount of each series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender Offer will be determined in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Priority Level (in numerical priority order with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 12 being the lowest) specified in this column.

(2)

The Bloomberg Reference Page/Screen is provided for convenience only. To the extent any Bloomberg Reference Page/Screen changes prior to the Price Determination Time (as defined herein), the Lead Dealer Managers referred to below will quote the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security from the updated Bloomberg Reference Page/Screen.

(3)

The Total Consideration (as defined below) for Notes of each series validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) and accepted for purchase will be calculated using the applicable Fixed Spread (as set forth in the table above) and is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each series.

The Tender Offer will still expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 7, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time“). Any Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2024 (the “Withdrawal Deadline“), but may not be withdrawn thereafter except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

The consideration paid in the Tender Offer for each series of Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase (the “Total Consideration“). Holders of Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 22, 2024 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Deadline“) and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium“). Holders who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Time will only receive the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration” per $1,000 principal amount of any such Notes tendered by such holders that are accepted for purchase, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium. The Total Consideration will be determined at 9:00 a.m., New York City Time, on May 23, 2024 (the “Price Determination Time“), unless extended.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date for such Notes accepted for purchase.

The settlement date for Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase is expected to be June 12, 2024, three business days following the Expiration Time (the “Settlement Date“).

Subject to the Aggregate Tender Cap and proration, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (as shown in the table above, with 1 being the highest) will be accepted before any validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 12 being the lowest), and all Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline having a lower Acceptance Priority Level. However, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase before any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline, even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

Notes of the series in the last Acceptance Priority Level accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer may be subject to proration (rounded to avoid the purchase of Notes in a principal amount other than in an integral multiple of $1,000) if the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Aggregate Tender Cap to be exceeded. Furthermore, if Notes are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn having an aggregate purchase price equal to or greater than the Aggregate Tender Cap as of the Early Tender Deadline, subject to proration, holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

The Issuers’ obligation to accept for purchase up to the Aggregate Tender Cap of the Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase  is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction of or, where applicable, their waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including a financing condition that on or prior to the Settlement Date the Issuers receive the net proceeds from one or more debt financing transactions, on terms acceptable to the Issuers and providing net proceeds in an amount that, together with cash on hand and other available sources of liquidity is sufficient in the Issuers’ discretion to fund the purchase of validly tendered Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer and pay all fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. The Issuers reserve the right, in their discretion and subject to applicable law, to extend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time and not accept for payment any Notes not theretofore accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer for any reason, waive any or all of the conditions of the Tender Offer, change the Acceptance Priority Level with respect to the Notes, increase, decrease or eliminate the Aggregate Tender Cap without extending the Withdrawal Deadline or otherwise reinstating withdrawal rights and otherwise amend the terms of the Tender Offer in any respect. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered.

The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, along with any amendments and supplements thereto, which holders are urged to read carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer. The Issuers have retained Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. to act as the Lead Dealer Managers, and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc. to act as the other Dealer Managers in connection with the Tender Offer.

This press release must be read in conjunction with the Offer to Purchase. This press release and the Offer to Purchase contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Tender Offer. If you are in any doubt as to the contents of this press release or the Offer to Purchase or the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own legal, business, tax or other advice, including as to any tax consequences, immediately from your broker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial or legal adviser. Any individual or company whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer, bank, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or intermediary must contact such entity if it wishes to participate in the Tender Offer. None of the Issuers, the Tender and Information Agent or any of the Dealer Managers, nor any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of any such person, is acting for any holder of Notes, or will be responsible to any holder of Notes for providing any protections which would be afforded to its clients or for providing advice in relation to the Tender Offer, and accordingly none of the Tender and Information Agent or any of the Dealer Managers, nor any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of any such person, assumes any responsibility for the accuracy of any information concerning any of the Issuers, the Company or the Notes or any failure by any of the Issuers to disclose information with regard to the Issuers, the Company or the Notes which is material in the context of the Tender Offer and which is not otherwise publicly available.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and whether or not the Tender Offer is consummated, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including the Issuers, may from time to time following the Expiration Time acquire any Notes that remain outstanding in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through one or more additional tender offers, one or more exchange offers or otherwise, or may redeem Notes pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing them. Any future purchases or redemptions may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to holders of Notes than the terms of the Tender Offer. Any future purchases or redemptions by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) the Company or any of its affiliates will choose to pursue in the future. The effect of any of these actions may directly or indirectly affect the price of any Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation or termination of the Tender Offer.

This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Tender Offer is being made only by, and pursuant to the terms of, the Offer to Purchase. The Tender Offer does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Tender Offer is void in all jurisdictions where it is prohibited. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Issuers by the Dealer Managers or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction. None of the Issuers, the Tender and Information Agent, the Dealer Managers or any trustee for the Notes is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender Notes in response to the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

Forward-Looking Information

The information contained herein contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable United States securities laws and regulations and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. “Forward-looking information” includes, but is not limited to, the volume, liquidity and market capitalization of the CDIs.

Forward-looking information and statements are based on NexGen’s current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about its business and the industry and markets in which it operates. Forward-looking information and statements are made based upon numerous assumptions, including, among others; the price of uranium; the cost of planned exploration and development activities; that, as plans continue to be refined for the development of the Rook I Project, there will be no changes in costs, engineering details or specifications that would materially adversely affect its viability; that financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms; that third-party contractors, equipment, supplies and governmental and other approvals required to conduct NexGen’s planned exploration and development activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely manner; that there will be no revocation of government approvals; that general business, economic, competitive, social and political conditions will not change in a material adverse manner; the assumptions underlying the Company’s mineral reserve and resource estimates; assumptions made in the interpretation of drill results and other geological information; the ability to achieve production on the Rook I Project; other estimates, assumptions and forecasts disclosed in the Feasibility Study for the Rook I Project.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information or statements or implied by forward-looking information or statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information or statements due to the inherent uncertainty thereof.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking information and statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
