STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

On September 30, 2014 and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all interests in the Old Common Stock or other rights and the Old Preferred Stock, and any options or other rights exercisable therefor, as applicable, were cancelled, extinguished and deemed of no further force and effect. Further, the Warrants to purchase shares of Old Common Stock or Old Preferred Stock issued to Toshiba and B&W were cancelled. The Company provided written notice to the NYSE that, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all outstanding shares of Old Common Stock were cancelled. Accordingly, the Company requested that the NYSE suspend trading of and delist the Old Common Stock.

The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize 20,000,000 shares of New Preferred Stock, 70,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

On September 30, 2014 and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of New Common Stock, which included the issuance of 7,563,600 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,436,400 shares of Class B Common Stock. The issuance of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock under the Plan of Reorganization was not registered with the SEC. The Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were issued in reliance on exemptions under the Securities Act provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Class B Common Stock was issued to B&W and Toshiba and has the same rights, powers, preferences and restrictions and ranks equally in all matters with the Class A Common Stock issued to former holders of the Old Notes, except voting. Holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect, in the aggregate, two members of the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to certain holding requirements.

Additionally, the Company reserved 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under a new management incentive plan. Refer to Note 16, Stock-Based Compensation.

The Class A Common Stock began trading on the NYSE on September 30, 2014. As announced on March 11, 2015, at the request of the Company, the NYSE transferred the listing of Centrus common stock that trades under the symbol "LEU" to the NYSE’s MKT trading platform. The NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards are more aligned with the Company's new capital structure, trading volume and share price since emerging from bankruptcy. On March 16, 2015, LEU began trading on the NYSE MKT.
