LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR COMMON SHARES OF

 

LOGO

Reference is made to the proposed arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”) and Fission Uranium Corp. (“Fission”) pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement in which, among other things, Denison will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Fission.

In connection with the completion of the Arrangement, Denison intends to complete a consolidation of issued and outstanding common shares of Denison (“Denison Shares”) on the basis of one New Denison Share for every two existing Denison Shares (the “Consolidation”) and complete a name change to “Denison Energy Corp.” or such other name as is determined by the Board in its sole discretion, subject to regulatory approval. Among other resolutions, the Consolidation Resolution is being submitted at the Meeting (as defined below) for approval by the holders of Denison Shares (the “Shareholders”).

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered holders (the “Registered Shareholders”) of Denison Shares in connection with the Consolidation. Shareholders are referred to the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and Management Information Circular of Denison dated as of September 15, 2015 (the “Circular”), prepared in connection with the special meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on October 14, 2015 (the “Meeting”), that accompanies this Letter of Transmittal. Registered Shareholders are strongly urged to read the Circular and the instructions accompanying this Letter of Transmittal carefully before completing this Letter of Transmittal.

If the conditions precedent to the completion of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived and the Consolidation Resolution is approved by the Shareholders, shortly following the Effective Time, Denison intends to file Articles of Amendment to amend Denison’s articles to give effect to the Consolidation (the “Articles of Amendment”). The Articles of Amendment will become effective on the date shown in the Certificate of Amendment issued pursuant to applicable law and, in any event, following the Effective Time.

Following the effective time of the Articles of Amendment, a Registered Shareholder who has duly completed and signed and delivered this Letter of Transmittal, share certificates representing Denison Shares and all other required documentation, if any, will be entitled to receive one New Denison Share in exchange for every two existing Denison Shares.

No fractional New Denison Shares will be issued to Shareholders. If a Shareholder is entitled to receive a fractional New Denison Share, the number of New Denison Shares issuable to such Shareholder under the Consolidation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Denison Shares and no consideration will be paid in lieu thereof.

This Letter of Transmittal is for use by Registered Shareholders only and is not to be used by beneficial holders of Denison Shares (the “Beneficial Shareholders”). A Beneficial Shareholder does not hold Denison Shares in its name but such Denison Shares are held by an Intermediary or a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, in Canada, and The Depositary Trust Company, in the United States) of which the Intermediary is a participant. If you are a Beneficial Shareholder, you should contact your Intermediary for instructions and assistance in receiving your New Denison Shares.

In order to receive the appropriate number of New Denison Shares pursuant to the Consolidation, Registered Shareholders are required to deposit the certificates representing the existing Denison Shares held by them with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Depositary”), accompanied by this Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and signed, and all other required documents, if any. The instructions accompanying this Letter of Transmittal specify certain signature guarantees and additional documents that Registered Shareholders may be required to provide with this Letter of Transmittal. Additionally, Registered Shareholders may, upon request, be required to execute any additional documents deemed by the Depositary to be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the deposit and cancellation of their existing Denison Shares in exchange for the applicable New Denison Shares contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal.

Until surrendered, each certificate which immediately prior to the effective time of the Articles of Amendment represented Denison Shares will be deemed, at any time after the effective time of the Articles of Amendment, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a certificate representing New Denison Shares issuable pursuant to the Consolidation.

Please note that the delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, together with your certificate(s) representing the existing Denison Shares, does not constitute a vote in favor of the Consolidation. To exercise your right to vote, you must attend the Meeting, held on October 14, 2015 in person or complete and return the form of proxy that accompanied the Circular to Computershare Investor Services Inc., 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, Attention: Proxy Department, at any time prior to 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time on October 9, 2015 or 48 hours prior to the time of any adjournments of the Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays)).

Registered Shareholders who do not deliver their share certificates, this Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and signed, and all other required documents, if any, to the Depositary on or before the date which is six years after the effective date of the Articles of Amendment will lose their right to receive New Denison Shares for their Denison Shares. The New Denison Shares which such Registered Shareholders were entitled to receive will be delivered to Denison by the Depositary for cancellation and will be cancelled by Denison, and the interest of such Registered Shareholders in such New Denison Shares will be terminated as of such date.

Except for any proxy deposited with respect to votes on the Denison Resolutions, the undersigned revokes any and all authority, other than as granted in this Letter of Transmittal, whether as agent, attorney, attorney-in-fact, proxy or otherwise, previously conferred or agreed to be conferred by the undersigned at any time with respect to the Deposited Shares and no subsequent authority, whether as agent, attorney, attorney-in-fact, proxy or otherwise, will be granted with respect to the Deposited Shares.

The instructions accompanying this Letter of Transmittal specify certain signature guarantees and additional documents that the undersigned may be required to provide with this Letter of Transmittal. Additionally, the undersigned may, upon request, be required to execute any additional documents deemed by the Depositary to be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the deposit and cancellation of the Deposited Shares in exchange for the applicable New Denison Shares contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the delivery of the Deposited Shares shall be effected and the risk of loss of such Deposited Shares shall pass only upon proper receipt thereof by the Depositary.

Each authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by the undersigned in this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

The authority herein conferred, coupled with an interest, is not intended to be a continuing power of attorney within the meaning of and governed by the Substitute Decisions Act (Ontario), or any similar power of attorney under equivalent legislation in any of the provinces or territories of Canada (a “CPOA”). The execution of this Letter of Transmittal shall not terminate any such CPOA granted by the undersigned previously and the authority herein conferred shall not be terminated by the execution by the undersigned in the future of a CPOA, and the undersigned hereby agrees not to take any action at any time which results or may result in the termination of the authority herein conferred.

The undersigned instructs Denison and the Depositary to, promptly after the effective time of the Articles of Amendment and receipt of this Letter of Transmittal (and share certificate(s) representing the Denison Shares), issue or cause to be issued certificate(s) representing the New Denison Shares to which the undersigned is entitled pursuant to the Consolidation and mail such certificate(s) by first-class insured mail, postage prepaid, or hold such certificate(s) for pick-up, all in accordance with the instructions set out below.

If the Consolidation is not implemented for any reason, the enclosed certificate(s) representing the Denison Shares and all other ancillary documents received by the Depositary will be returned forthwith to the undersigned at the address set out below in Box A or, failing such address being specified, to the undersigned at the last address of the undersigned as it appears on the securities register of Denison.

It is understood that the undersigned will not receive the New Denison Shares under the Consolidation in respect of the Deposited Shares until the certificate(s) representing the Deposited Shares owned by the undersigned are received by the Depositary at the address set forth on the back of this Letter of Transmittal, together with a duly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents, if any, and until the same are processed by the Depositary (which shall not occur until after the effective time of the Articles of Amendment).

By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract in connection with the delivery of the New Denison Shares pursuant to the Consolidation through this Letter of Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l’utilisation d’une lettre d’envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, le soussigné et les destinataires sont présumés avoir requis que tout contrat attesté par ceci et son acceptation au moyen de la présente lettre d’envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s’y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.
