Values safety and environment people integrity excellence Ethics and U CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS Cameco

Dear Employees, At Cameco, we have built a strong reputation for maintaining the highest standards of ethical behaviour. This is what has helped the company grow into the global business it is today, and is essential as we carry out our vision of Energizing a Clean-Air World. As we continue to grow our business, we will face ethical choices. Cameco’s Code of Conduct and Ethics is your guide on how we uphold our value of integrity. Integrity is hard earned and easily lost, and it’s something we all have to work hard to protect. The code applies to all employees, officers and board directors of Cameco and its subsidiaries, setting a clear standard of what we expect you to follow in all of your work-related activities. Because not every situation is covered in the code, it is important that we follow the spirit of the document, not just the words. When in doubt, ask your manager or the contacts listed on the back page for guidance. If you know of, or suspect, any violations of this code, I expect you to bring your concerns to your supervisor or local HR representative. If you prefer, you can report concerns anonymously through the Ethics Hotline, either online or at the toll-free numbers listed in the code. You can expect the company to investigate the matter and protect you from any form of retaliation when you report a concern honestly and in good faith. Thank you for your continued dedication to Cameco and your commitment to making a difference by upholding the standards set forth in our code. Our dedication to integrity allows us to take pride in our work and in our reputation as a good corporate citizen. TIM GITZEL PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CAMECO CORPORATION “Our dedication to integrity allows us to take pride in our work and in our reputation as a good corporate citizen.”

2 We each must follow this Code of Conduct and Ethics and have a responsibility to report any violations. “We” means employees, officers and board directors of Cameco and its subsidiaries. This code is important. There are serious consequences if you don’t follow the code. Our Responsibilities We use this code to guide us in how to properly conduct ourselves and act ethically in connection with our work at Cameco We have this code to help us understand the kinds of activities that are right and we are encouraged to do, and the kinds of activities that are wrong and not allowed. Don’t assume questionable activities are OK just because they haven’t been mentioned in this code. Ask yourself the following questions to decide if an activity is right or wrong. Does it seem right? Is it fair? Is it legal? Does it match up with Cameco’s Value Statements? Would I want other people to know I did it? Would I feel OK if I read about it in the newspaper? Would other people at Cameco feel OK if they read about it in the newspaper? Ask your supervisor or manager for advice if you’re still in doubt about a questionable activity after asking yourself these questions. Our chief corporate officer and our corporate secretary maintain this code The chief corporate officer and the corporate secretary are responsible for putting the code into practice throughout the company and keeping it up-to-date. They report to our board of directors’ nominating, corporate governance and risk committee on matters related to board directors. They report to our board’s audit and finance committee on matters related to employees. The audit and finance committee recommends any changes to the code to Cameco’s board of directors. The board must approve them before they can be made and put into practice.

3 You contribute to the ethical culture of Cameco when you report violations of this code. You’re protected from any form of retaliation when you report your concerns in good faith. There are a number of ways for you to speak up if you know of, or suspect, any violations, or have questions about this code. If you feel comfortable doing so, consider speaking to your supervisor or manager. You may confidentially raise concerns or questions to your local or corporate human resources department, the internal audit department, the corporate legal department or any of the officers. We also have an Ethics Hotline that is operated by a trusted external company and is available 24/7. Through the Ethics Hotline, you can report any violations of this code anonymously, upload documents related to the concern, and log into the system to check for status updates and communication from Cameco’s conduct and ethics committee.

4 Our Conduct under the Law Bribes and kickbacks are common examples of unethical business practices. It’s not ethical to offer money or any type of reward to a government official directly or indirectly in order to obtain or retain an improper advantage. If you take part in these kinds of practices or any other unethical business practices, you not only violate our Code of Conduct and Ethics but you also damage our reputation and put yourself, our company and our officers at risk of fines, charges and possibly jail. We obey all applicable laws, rules and regulations We follow the applicable laws, rules and regulations in the countries where we work and do business. The fact that unethical business practices may be common in some countries doesn’t justify them. Breaking the law is never OK even if your intent is for the good of the company. Also, not knowing the law is no excuse for breaking it. Familiarize yourself with, and follow, all the laws, rules and regulations that apply to your job. When working or conducting business in another jurisdiction, ensure that there are no economic sanctions or embargo laws that may prohibit your dealings. Be alert to unethical practices and make sure you act ethically. Check with your supervisor or the corporate legal department if you don’t know the laws, rules and regulations that apply to your job. Also check our Global Anti-Corruption Program for more information. We do not take part in insider trading Insider trading happens when someone uses confidential information to make a decision about buying or selling shares or other financial securities. You’re guilty of insider trading if you use confidential information about Cameco or any other company to help you or someone else decide when to buy or sell Cameco’s or the other company’s shares or financial securities. This is against our rules and, in most cases, is against the law. Check our Securities Trading and Reporting Standard for more information. Check with the corporate secretary or chief financial officer if you’re unsure about the rules before you trade any of Cameco’s shares or financial securities.

5 Also, special rules apply to employees and board directors considered to be “reporting insiders” under securities laws. If you’re a reporting insider, you must get the corporate secretary’s approval before buying or selling Cameco’s shares or exercising stock options. The ? Question: I just found out about something happened in the company that makes me want to trade some of my Cameco shares. Can I go ahead and trade my shares? Answer: You can’t buy or sell the shares unless the general public also has access to the same information that you just learned. The corporate secretary announces black-out periods so we know when we can’t buy or sell Cameco shares. Even if there is no black-out, you can’t buy or sell shares using important confidential information if the general public doesn’t also have access to the same information. If in doubt, check with the corporate secretary before you buy or sell shares. Senior Vice-President, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, Sean Quinn

6 We lobby governments only according to their rules Cameco lobbies governments to potentially influence the outcome of government policies and regulations that affect our business and industry. Governments set rules on lobbying and we need to make sure we know and follow them before contacting any government officials for the purposes of lobbying. You need permission from the corporate legal department and you need to clearly understand the rules before lobbying any government official. The corporate legal department maintains a list of everyone in the company who is lobbying and gives them the rules to follow. We obey all import and export regulations We only import and export uranium products and nuclear technologies according to applicable government regulations. We recognize uranium products and nuclear technologies have the potential to be misused and so we make sure we export only to people, organizations and countries who will use them for peaceful purposes. Government regulations require us to disclose how the uranium products and nuclear technology will be used before we’re allowed to export them. If you’re involved in importing or exporting, make sure you follow all regulatory requirements and have all

the necessary licences and permits in place. Check our Nuclear Technology Export and Import Controls Compliance Program for more information regarding importing or exporting nuclear technology. If you plan to share any nuclear technology with someone outside of Cameco and are unsure of the rules, make sure you first discuss this with a member of the technical committee defined in the Nuclear Technology Export and Import Controls Compliance Program. Check with your supervisor or the corporate legal department if you need guidance on any aspect of import and export regulations. We do not make loans or guarantees to board directors or officers of Cameco As a company, we do not loan money, extend credit or guarantee personal financial obligations of board directors or officers of the company and their families. ? Question: I contact a government regulator frequently to provide required reports and to ask questions about regulations. Is this lobbying? Answer: No. Supplying requested information and asking questions is not lobbying. You would be lobbying, however, if you made a suggestion about how to amend a regulation. Always get permission from the corporate legal department before lobbying and make sure you understand the rules.

8 Our Conduct within Cameco We avoid actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest A conflict of interest happens when our relationships, actions or interests outside of work interfere, might interfere, or even appear to interfere with our duties or Cameco’s business interests. Avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflict. Don’t: Take part in outside business transactions, or have a financial or personal interest that may interfere with your duties to Cameco. Give or accept gifts or invitations from suppliers that could be perceived to be extravagant. Hold shares in companies that are involved in the nuclear power fuel cycle if it is likely that you would be part of an acquisition project team or if you could have influence over key acquisition decisions. Take part in outside work or business or be a member of a group or sit on a company’s board that is in competition with (or has opposing interests to) Cameco or interferes with your performance at Cameco. Have a family member report to you, either directly or indirectly, through your reporting line. Take part in, or influence, any financial, administrative or human resources processes concerning your family members. Give preferential treatment to relatives or friends or to organizations in which your relatives or friends have a financial or other interest. For employees in Canada, check our Conflicts of Interest Between Employed Family Members Procedure for more information about the rules involving family members at work.

9 ? Question: What are some examples of the kinds of business transactions or financial or personal interests that may put me in an actual or perceived conflict of interest situation? Answer: Generally, you have a conflict of interest when you put yourself in a situation where you may not be acting in Cameco’s best interests. For example, you may have a conflict if: You award a contract to a private company in which you are a shareholder. You or your family have a significant interest in a business that deals with Cameco. You influenced a decision that Cameco made and you personally benefited from it. For example, using your influence on a decision that improves the value of property you own or have an interest in, such as shares in junior uranium companies. You realized financial gains or savings from the purchase or sale of stocks, bonds, shares or other assets using information which isn’t generally available to the public. Question: Outside my Cameco work time, I work for another company. Is this a conflict of interest? Answer: It is a conflict of interest if: The other company is a competitor of Cameco. The other company has opposing interests to Cameco. The other job interferes with your duties at Cameco.

10 We declare whether we have any conflicts of interest We each complete a declaration form when we start our jobs or board appointments at Cameco. On the form you declare whether you have any actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. The conduct and ethics committee reviews the completed forms. You also need to complete a new form if you are newly promoted into job band 10 or above, or move into supply chain management, human resources, internal audit, finance/ treasury/tax, business technology services, marketing, corporate development, legal or the executive offices. Anyone in these jobs also completes and submits a new form annually. The form will be provided to you automatically. If you’re an employee in Canada and have a conflict of interest concerning a family member you also need to complete another form where you state your plan for dealing with the conflict. This is explained in the declaration form. Check our Conflicts of Interest Between Employed Family Members Procedure for more information. All members of the pension investment committee, board directors or employees operating or administering our pension plans must disclose any kind of personal, financial or other interests that would conflict with their duties concerning the plan. Actual, potential or perceived conflicts must be declared as they would for any other type of conflict described in this code. Any of us having an actual, potential or perceived conflict must not take part in discussions and decision-making related to the conflict unless allowed by the applicable decision-makers. You have violated this code and are subject to discipline or even dismissal if you don’t disclose any conflicting interests you may have. ? Question: What happens if my conflict of interest is not acceptable to Cameco? Answer: Depending on the conflict, you may have to take one or more of the following actions: Give back any benefit you received. Get rid of the outside interest. Put applicable assets in a frozen or blind trust. Accept a transfer to a job where the conflict wouldn’t exist. Exclude yourself from any human resources, administrative or financial processes concerning family members at Cameco. Resign from your job or board appointment.

11 ? Question: What happens after I declare that I have (or might have) a conflict of interest? Answer: A committee reviews your conflict and decides whether it’s acceptable. If you’re a board director The board’s nominating, corporate governance and risk committee reviews your conflict and recommends to the board whether it’s acceptable. The board makes the final decision. You don’t take part in the discussions or decision about your own conflict. If you’re an officer, senior vice-president or vice-president The board’s audit and finance committee reviews and recommends to the board whether your conflict is acceptable. The board makes the final decision. If you’re in any other type of job Management’s conduct and ethics committee reviews our conflict and decides what must be done to deal with the conflict. Once a decision is made about your declared conflict, you are notified in writing. Also, if you are an officer or board director, any transactions between you and Cameco (other than routine transactions arising in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice) must be approved by the board of directors on the recommendation of the audit and finance committee or the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee.

Are not cash. Are not too expensive. Do not violate any applicable laws. Do not create a conflict of interest. Do not violate this code or our Global Anti-Corruption Program. Check with the corporate secretary or chief corporate officer if you’re unsure about whether you should give or receive a gift.

29 ? Question: A supplier I deal with invited me and my husband to a concert. Can I accept the invitation? Answer: You can accept the invitation if you are not frequently invited to events with this supplier, if the invitation would not be perceived to be extravagant, and the supplier attends with you. If you have any doubt about whether you should accept the invitation, speak to a member of the conduct and ethics committee (refer to page 32). Question: A contractor in another country that we are thinking of using has invited me to tour his facility at his company’s expense. Is this OK? Answer: This could be OK if it’s important to see how the company operates in order to make a decision about using the company, if the travel costs are reasonable, and if your supervisor gives you permission to go on the trip. Speak to a member of the conduct and ethics committee if you receive an invitation like this. Examples of acceptable gifts and invitations You can accept: Gifts of pens, hats, shirts, mugs and similar items with a company’s logo. Customary gifts of chocolate, cookies or similar items during a holiday season. An expensive gift only when it would be very inappropriate to refuse. In this case, consult with a member of the conduct and ethics committee for guidance. Reasonable invitations to business- related meetings or conferences. Invitations to social, cultural or sporting events if the cost is reasonable, your host will be present and your attendance serves a customary business purpose.

30 ? Question: I’m hosting a social gathering on behalf of Cameco for some foreign business people we are doing business with. How much can I spend and are there limits to the entertainment we can provide? Answer: The amount you spend shouldn’t be excessive or extravagant considering the circumstances. Your rank and seniority within Cameco and that of the people being entertained will impact the type and nature of the entertainment you provide. Check our Global Anti-Corruption Program or contact the corporate legal department for details about any steps required before arranging social gatherings and entertainment for foreign business people.
