 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;15, 2009, Korea Electric Power Corporation (&#147;KEPCO&#148;) entered into a definitive agreement with
Denison Mines Corporation (&#147;Denison&#148;) to purchase 58.0&nbsp;million shares, or 17.0%, of the share capital of Denison for an aggregate purchase price of C$75.4 million. As a result of such share purchase, KEPCO is expected to become the
largest shareholder of Denison. Under the terms of the agreement, KEPCO will be entitled to procure up to 300 metric tons of uranium per annum, which amounts to approximately 20% of Denison&#146;s current annual uranium production, during the period
from 2010 to 2015. For the period from 2016, KEPCO will also be entitled to procure up to 20% of Denison&#146;s then annual uranium production so long as KEPCO beneficially owns 10% or more of Denison&#146;s share capital. </FONT></P> <P
