​ On August 3, 2021, Denison completed the acquisition of 50% of JCU from UEX Corporation (“UEX”), for cash consideration of $20,500,000 plus transaction costs of $1,356,000. Denison’s acquisition of its 50% interest in JCU occurred immediately following UEX’s acquisition of all the outstanding shares of JCU from Overseas Uranium Resources Development Co., Limited (“OURD”) for cash consideration of $41,000,000. Pursuant to Denison’s agreement with UEX, Denison provided UEX with an interest-free 90-day term loan of $40,950,000 million (the “Term Loan”) to facilitate UEX’s purchase of JCU from OURD. On the transfer of 50% of the shares in JCU from UEX to Denison, $20,450,000 of the amount drawn under the Term Loan was deemed repaid by UEX. UEX repaid the remainder of the Term Loan in September 2021. JCU is a private company that holds a portfolio of twelve uranium project joint venture interests in Canada, including a 10% interest in the WRJV, a 30.099% interest in the Millennium project (Cameco Corporation 69.901%), a 33.8118% interest in the Kiggavik project (Orano Canada Inc. 66.1882%), and a 34.4508% interest in the Christie Lake project (UEX 65.5492%). In 2022, each shareholder of JCU funded operations with an investment in JCU of $800,000. The investment was made by share subscription, where each shareholder acquired additional common shares in JCU in accordance with each shareholder's pro-rata ownership interest in JCU. As a result, the Company's ownership interest in JCU remained unchanged at 50%. The following tables summarize the consolidated financial information of JCU on a 100% basis, taking into account adjustments made by Denison for equity accounting purposes (including fair value adjustments and differences in accounting policies). Denison records its equity share of earnings (loss) in JCU one month in arrears (due to the information not yet being available), adjusted for any known material transactions that have occurred up to the period end date on which Denison is reporting. ​
