Since 2008, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed the offshore marketing company structure and related transfer pricing methodology we used for certain intercompany uranium sale and purchase agreements, and issued notices of reassessment for our 2003 through 2009 tax returns Assuming the CRA continues to re-assess on the same basis as 2003 through 2009 and is successful, we estimate that cash taxes and transfer pricing penalties would be between $1.25 billion and $1.3 billion for the taxation years 2003 through 2013. In addition, we estimate there would be interest and instalment penalties applied that would be material to us Tax legislation requires we pay, at the time of reassessment, 50% of the cash taxes and related interest and penalties. The table below includes actual amounts paid and estimated future payments: 25 C$ Millions 2003 - 2013 2014(2) 2015 - 2016 2017 - 2023 Total 50% of cash taxes and transfer pricing penalties payable in the period(1) 37 155 - 175 410 - 435 0 - 25 625 - 650 These amounts do not include interest and instalment penalties, which totaled approximately $72 million to June 10, 2014 These amounts include $102 million already paid to June 10, 2014 Note: We are updating our disclosure on the CRA case to reflect developments since our management's discussion and analysis for the first quarter of 2014, primarily our receipt from the CRA of the reassessment for the 2009 taxation year and the making of associated payments to the CRA We expect to be successful and recover the amounts remitted to CRA, including $211 million already paid to date The case on the 2003 reassessment is expected to go to trial in 2015. If this timing is adhered to, we expect to have a Tax Court decision by 2016 CRA Dispute

Supplemental Information 27

28 Summary Financial Information 28 (1) LTM figures are for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 (2) EBITDA calculated based on reported Earnings from Operations adjusted for disposition of assets, impairment charges, and depreciation and amortization. See additional information on Non-IFRS financial measures on slide 29 (3) Non-IFRS measure; net earnings attributable to equity holders adjusted for derivatives, impairment charges on non-producing properties, NUKEM inventory write-down, loss on exploration properties, gain on interest in BPLP, and income taxes on adjustments. See additional information on Non-IFRS financial measures on slide 29 (4) Net of bank overdraft (5) Total debt calculated as short-term and long-term debt (6) Total capital defined as book value of equity plus total debt Note: No adjustments to historical figures for sale of Bruce Power interest unless otherwise noted

29 Non-IFRS measures Adjusted net earnings and EBITDA are measures that do not have a standardized meaning or a consistent basis of calculation under IFRS (non-IFRS measure). We use these measures as a more meaningful way to compare our financial performance from period to period. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate our performance. Adjusted net earnings is our net earnings attributable to equity holders, adjusted to better reflect the underlying financial performance for the reporting period. The adjusted earnings measure reflects the matching of the net benefits of our hedging program with the inflows of foreign currencies in the applicable reporting period, and adjusted for impairment charges on non- producing properties, NUKEM inventory write-down, loss on exploration properties, and income taxes on adjustments. Adjusted net earnings is non-standard supplemental information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared according to accounting standards. We have defined EBITDA as Earnings from Operations adjusted for disposition of assets, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization. Other companies may calculate these measures differently, so you may not be able to make a direct comparison to similar measures presented by other companies. (1) We do not apply hedge accounting for our portfolio of foreign currency forward sales contracts. However, we have adjusted our gains or losses on derivatives to reflect what our earnings would have been had hedge accounting been in place
