At our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, our advisory vote on executive compensation (the &#8220;say-on-pay vote&#8221;) received approval from 71.6% of the votes cast at the meeting, which was higher than the prior year&#8217;s 67.1% approval. Although an improvement from the prior year, the Compensation Committee is committed to engaging with and responding to stockholders with the objective of increasing stockholder support for our executive pay programs. While we have maintained a pay for performance philosophy in the past (more variable than fixed pay, annual incentives based on achievement of specific objectives, the use of appreciation-based stock options and restricted stock, etc.), the Compensation Committee felt it was critical to reach out directly to stockholders in order to understand the key drivers of the relatively low say-on-pay support and what actions the Compensation Committee might take to improve future vote results. As such, we met with stockholders and constituents to discuss executive compensation, corporate governance, and related matters. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">As part of this process in 2021 and 2022, we contacted all of our major stockholders, accounting for an aggregate of approximately 20% of our shares outstanding at that time. Our outreach determined that shareholders were generally supportive of our compensation programs and overall design and that the use of an outside compensation advisory firm to determine compensation packages was an acceptable practice. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;text-align:center;margin:0px">ii</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;border-top:#000000 1px solid;border-bottom:#000000 1px solid;text-align:justify;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:100%" cellpadding="1"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="padding:1px;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;text-align:center;margin:0px"><strong>PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY</strong></p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">As part of our Board of Directors&#8217; commitment to engagement with our stockholders, we evaluate and respond to the views voiced by our stockholders on a regular basis.

Included in these responsibilities is the Board&#8217;s oversight of the various risks facing the Company. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of the Company&#8217;s business strategy. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">While the Board oversees risk management, Company management is charged with managing risk. The Company has robust internal processes and a strong internal control environment to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these internal controls and the risk management program at least annually. Management communicates routinely with the Board, Board committees, and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">12</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through its committees.

Interviews of these director candidates were conducted by members of the Governance and Nominating Committee. These interviews confirmed that candidates met the qualifications and criteria, and possessed the skills to serve as a director of the Company. Further reference checks were conducted with respect to each candidate as needed. Background checks were conducted for each candidate, including checks on criminal history, credit and past bankruptcies, SEC violations and/or sanctions, work history and education. Independence questionnaires were completed by the candidates and reviewed by the Company, the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Company&#8217;s legal counsel to ensure candidates meet the requirements to be an independent director for the Board, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee. This review also ensures the candidates&#8217; positions do not conflict in any material way with Company business. Upon the completion of these procedures, the Governance and Nominating Committee concluded that each candidate is well qualified to serve on the Company&#8217;s Board and its committees and meets the independence requirements defined in appliable Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations..</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Our Governance and Nominating Committee does not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders; however any nominees proposed by our stockholders will be considered on the same basis as nominees proposed by the Board.

Although an improvement from the prior year, the Compensation Committee is committed to engaging with and responding to stockholders with the objective of increasing stockholder support for our executive pay programs. While we have maintained a pay for performance philosophy in the past (more variable than fixed pay, annual incentives based on achievement of specific objectives, the use of appreciation-based stock options and restricted stock, etc.), the Compensation Committee felt it was critical to reach out directly to stockholders in order to understand the key drivers of the relatively low say-on-pay support and what actions the Compensation Committee might take to improve future vote results. As such, we met with stockholders and constituents to discuss executive compensation, corporate governance, and related matters. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">As part of this process in 2021 and 2022, we contacted all of our major stockholders, accounting for an aggregate of approximately 20% of our shares outstanding at that time. Our outreach determined that shareholders were generally supportive of our compensation programs and overall design and that the use of an outside compensation advisory firm to determine compensation packages was an acceptable practice. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">As part of our Board of Directors&#8217; commitment to engagement with our stockholders, we evaluate and respond to the views voiced by our stockholders on a regular basis.

The scope of the project was to demonstrate Lightbridge&#8217;s nuclear fuel casting process using depleted uranium, a key step in the manufacture of Lightbridge Fuel&#8482;. On July 14, 2021, the Company executed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Battelle Memorial Institute, Pacific Northwest Division, the operating contractor of the PNNL, in collaboration with the DOE. The project commenced in the third quarter of 2021 and is expected to be completed by end of 2022.

This demonstration of Lightbridge&#8217;s proprietary manufacturing process uses an internally developed and patented high-temperature coextrusion process. The six-foot length of the surrogate rods is the typical length of the fuel rods used by the small modular reactors (SMRs) now in development and licensing. Future fabrication of HALEU rodlets for loop irradiation testing in the Advanced Test Reactor, and ultimately commercial-length HALEU fuel rods, will use similar processing techniques to create Lightbridge Fuel&#8482;. Performing these initial fabrication development activities with surrogate materials allows Lightbridge to use a broader range of suppliers and is a cost-effective approach as it does not require uranium material.</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;text-align:justify;margin:0px"><font id="del_fontbc187481-ecce-4080-a99c-8231e8c41aec~f27fa9" style="font-family:symbol">&#183;</font></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;text-align:justify;margin:0px">We expanded our patent portfolio by successfully obtaining 7 new patents in 2021 in the United States and other key countries.

The value of equity awards included in the Summary Compensation Table is based on the grant date fair value of such awards, which is highly dependent on the price and volatility of our common stock at the time of grant. Due to the significant at risk nature of historical stock option grants made to Mr. Grae, &#8220;realizable&#8221; compensation for Mr. Grae is 10% lower than the amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table and long-term incentive realizable value is 35% lower than the grant-date fair value over the aggregate 2017-2021 period.

For both 2020 and 2021, the Compensation Committee retained Pay Governance LLC as its independent advisor. Pay Governance advises and consults with the Compensation Committee on compensation issues and the composition of the Company&#8217;s peer group, and keeps the Compensation Committee apprised of competitive practices related to executive compensation. In 2021 Pay Governance assisted the Compensation Committee in the design, structure, and implementation of the current annual executive compensation program, review of the compensation peer group, and director compensation program. Pay Governance does not determine the exact amount or form of executive compensation for any executive officers. Pay Governance reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and a representative of Pay Governance, when requested, attends meetings of the Compensation Committee, is available to participate in executive sessions and communicates directly with the Compensation Committee Chair or its members outside of meetings. Pay Governance does no other work for the Company.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">20</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Role of Management</em></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Compensation Committee considers input from the CEO when making executive compensation decisions for the other officers and employees of the Company. The CEO&#8217;s input is useful because the CEO reviews and observes the performance of the officers and employees at the Company. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approve the compensation of the CEO.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Performance Goals</em></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of each NEO&#8217;s compensation should be tied to the Company&#8217;s performance. The Company considers overall corporate performance measures performance based on certain operational and financial objectives as described on page 18 to broadly inform compensation decisions. In 2021, the Company considered the following performance milestones in determining the short-term incentive payouts: increase market capitalization; keep spending on corporate overhead, including outside professional fees, on budget; execute on key fuel development milestones; secure additional US government funding support for our project; complete one or more pre-determined strategic corporate initiatives; and meet certain individual goals. Performance goals have changed from time to time and will continue to change as the condition of the Company and its fuel technology evolve.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Peer Group Analysis</em></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Company has historically evaluated its compensation program against the programs at other companies in order to ensure its compensation program is competitive. With the assistance of Pay Governance, the peer companies were reviewed and updated based on (i) revenue scope within a reasonable range, (ii) market capitalization within a reasonable range of the Company&#8217;s market capitalization, (iii) R&amp;D expenditure within a reasonable range of the Company&#8217;s R&amp;D expenditure, and (iv) companies focused on nuclear, energy, or renewable energy technologies and services. In 2021, again with the assistance of Pay Governance, the peers were reviewed for continued appropriateness and no changes were made to the composition of the peer group, other than the removal of Superconductor Technologies Inc., which merged with another entity in 2021. The 2020 and 2021 peer group consist of the following companies:</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p

In each case, the Compensation Committee takes into account each officer&#8217;s (i) current and prior compensation, (ii) scope of responsibilities, (iii) experience, (iv) comparable market salaries and (v) the Company&#8217;s achievement of performance goals (both financial and non-financial). The Compensation Committee also (x) has the opportunity to meet with the officers at various times during the year, which allows the Compensation Committee to form its own assessment of each individual&#8217;s performance and (y) reviews reports of the CEO presented to the Compensation Committee, evaluating each of the other officers, including a review of their contributions and performance over the past year, strengths, weaknesses, development plans and succession potential.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px;

In 2021, the Company considered the following performance milestones, based on pre-determined performance target metrics with the maximum performance target metric increasing the STI scorecard weight by 150%: increase market capitalization (weighted 20% and the maximum scorecard performance target metric was met); keep spending on corporate overhead, including outside professional fees, on budget (scorecard weight was 25% and the maximum scorecard performance target metric was met); execute on key fuel development milestones (scorecard weight was 10% and the scorecard target performance metric was met); secure additional US government funding support for our project (scorecard weight was 5% and the scorecard target performance metric was met); complete one or more pre-determined strategic corporate initiatives and meet certain individual goals (scorecard weight was 40% and each member management&#8217;s maximum scorecard performance target metrics was met).</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE:

In 2021, Lightbridge delivered long-term incentive compensation as restricted stock awards vesting ratably over three years. RSAs were granted to provide long-term retention of NEOs, while building executive outright ownership of Lightbridge shares to further align the economic interests of Lightbridge&#8217;s officers with its stockholders. Lightbridge&#8217;s 2021 RSA grant values represent a focus on having a percentage of executive pay contingent on performance after the stockholders approved additional shares for grant under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan at the 2021 annual meeting.&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;text-align:left;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;vertical-align:bottom;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"><strong>Name and Title</strong></p></td> <td style="white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td class="hdcell" style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px solid;width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:center;" colspan="2"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;text-align:center;margin:0px"><strong>2021</strong></p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;text-align:center;margin:0px"><strong>LTI Grant (shares)</strong></p></td> <td style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">Seth Grae, President and CEO</p></td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">48,355</td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px;background-color:#ffffff"> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">Andrey Mushakov, EVP, Nuclear Operations</p></td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">30,158</td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px;background-color:#cceeff"> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">Larry Goldman, CFO</p></td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td> <td class="ffcell" style="width:9%;vertical-align:bottom;text-align:right;">27,901</td> <td style="width:1%;white-space: nowrap;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">For 2021, Lightbridge is reporting 5-year realizable pay for the CEO on page 22 of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which illustrates that the stock option awards granted to the CEO in the past five years currently have limited realizable value.

In addition to the foregoing, the NEOs are eligible to participate in a defined contribution profit sharing plan (the &#8220;401(k) plan&#8221;) that is administered by a committee of trustees appointed by the Company. All employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. In 2021, the Company made 100% matching contributions for all full-time employees with immediate vesting.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">23</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Perquisites</em></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">We do not provide any perquisites, whether cash or otherwise, to our NEOs.

The employment agreements provide for an initial annual base salary of $459,268, $286,443 and $265,000 for each of Mr. Grae, Dr. Mushakov and Mr. Goldman, respectively, and establish a target annual bonus of 50% of base salary for each executive with the amount of any such bonus to be determined by the Compensation Committee on the achievement of performance goals that are established by the Compensation Committee. In addition, each of Mr. Grae, Dr. Mushakov, and Mr. Goldman is eligible to earn an annual long-term incentive award, subject to the Compensation Committee&#8217;s discretion to grant such awards, based upon a target award opportunity equal to 50% of base salary, and subject to attainment of such goals, criteria, or targets established by the Compensation Committee in respect of each such calendar year.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Each employment agreement provides that if the executive&#8217;s employment is terminated or not extended by the Company without &#8220;cause,&#8221; or terminated by the executive for &#8220;good reason&#8221; (each as defined in the employment agreement), then, subject to the terms and conditions of the employment agreement, the executive will be entitled to certain severance payments and benefits. In the case of Mr. Grae, the employment agreement provides for payments equal to two times Mr. Grae&#8217;s base salary and target bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs, payable over 12 months, plus an amount equal to the prorated target bonus for the current year, payable in a lump sum. However, if such termination occurs upon or within 24 months of a &#8220;change of control&#8221; (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Grae will receive a lump sum payment equal to three times his base salary and target bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs, plus an amount equal to the prorated target bonus for the current year, and all of Mr. Grae&#8217;s equity awards will immediately fully vest, with any outstanding performance-based equity awards becoming fully vested based on the target level of performance. In the case of Dr. Mushakov and Mr. Goldman, the employment agreements provide for payments equal to the executive&#8217;s base salary and target bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs, payable over 12 months, plus an amount equal to the prorated target bonus for the current year, payable in a lump sum. However, if such termination occurs upon or within 24 months of a &#8220;change of control,&#8221; each of Dr. Mushakov and Mr. Goldman will receive a lump sum payment equal to two times his base salary and target bonus for the calendar year in which the termination occurs, plus an amount equal to the prorated target bonus for the current year, and all of the executive&#8217;s equity awards will immediately fully vest, with any outstanding performance based equity awards becoming fully vested based on the target level of performance.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Each employment agreement has an initial five-year term and will automatically be extended for additional one-year terms upon the expiration of the initial term unless either party provides notice of non-renewal to the other.

It should be noted, however, that the Compensation Committee considers many factors in determining executive compensation and, similarly, there are many factors that may affect the deductibility of executive compensation. In order to maintain the flexibility to be able to compensate NEOs in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a strict policy that all executive compensation must be deductible.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">24</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong><a name="noh">No Hedging, Pledging or Short Sales Transactions Permitted</a></strong></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Company&#8217;s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics prohibits all officers, directors, and other persons designated by the Audit Committee from engaging in hedging transactions designed to offset decreases in the market value of the Company&#8217;s securities or otherwise investing in options, warrants, stock appreciation rights, put or call option contracts, straddles, or similar rights relating to the Company&#8217;s securities.

These awards were granted November 18, 2021, and vest ratably over a three-year period commencing on the grant date.

The Board has determined that Mr. Funches qualifies as an &#8220;audit committee financial expert&#8221; within the meaning of Item 407(d) of SEC Regulation S-K, as Mr. Funches has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in his financial sophistication.

The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on the Board that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board&#8217;s overall composition and the Company&#8217;s current and future needs.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">31</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by stockholders, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers the nominee&#8217;s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company&#8217;s business or other related industries, and such other factors the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board.

Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures, and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual&#8217;s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background, and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership.

The Company&#8217;s services are performed in various countries around the world and significant areas of future growth are located outside of the United States. The Company&#8217;s business is truly global and multicultural. Therefore, the Board believes that international experience or specific knowledge of key geographic growth areas and diversity of professional experiences should be represented on the Board. The Company&#8217;s business is multifaceted and involves complex financial transactions in various countries. Therefore, the Board believes that the Board should include some directors with a high level of financial literacy and some directors who possess relevant business experience as a chief executive officer or president. Our business involves complex technologies in a highly specialized industry. Therefore, the Board believes that extensive knowledge of the Company&#8217;s business and the nuclear industry should be represented on the Board. The Company&#8217;s business also requires compliance with a variety of regulatory requirements across a number of countries and relationships with various governmental entities. Therefore, the Board believes that governmental, political, or diplomatic expertise should be represented on the Board.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong>Summary of Qualifications of Directors</strong></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Set forth below are the specific qualifications, attributes, skills, and experiences of our directors.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><u id="del_u0300b726-af3b-4453-a199-2b1a81c83feb~94da25">Seth Grae</u></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Mr. Grae&#8217;s service as the Company&#8217;s President and Chief Executive Officer and his extensive experience in the nuclear industry provide valuable insight to the Board about the Company and the nuclear power industry more generally.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><u id="del_u08fddaf7-2116-4dcb-b573-a090ddf1b77a~0c3694">Thomas Graham, Jr.</u></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Mr. Graham&#8217;s service as Chairman of the Board of the Company and prior service as Executive Chairman of the Board, his experience as chairman of the board of several other companies, his extensive experience and knowledge related to nuclear non-proliferation, his knowledge of international law, and his experience as a senior US diplomat provide valuable insight to the Board about the Company, and about nuclear policy and international law more generally.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp; </p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">32</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><u id="del_u2d540c2f-43b4-478b-b115-7697e48a156f~8e683f">Sweta Chakraborty </u></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Dr. Chakraborty is a globally recognized risk and behavioral scientist and expert on risks ranging from climate change to COVID-19.

Having a substantial number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock that are not reserved for specific purposes will allow the Company to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a meeting of stockholders or obtaining the written consent of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in the Company&#8217;s capitalization. We have no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of common stock subsequent to this proposed increase in the number of authorized shares at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose.

Exceptions to this limitation may only be made by the Compensation Committee in extraordinary circumstances, provided that any non-employee director receiving additional compensation does not participate in the decision to award such compensation.

However, SARs that may be settled only in cash will not be so counted. Similarly, to the extent that a restricted stock unit award may be settled only in cash, no shares will be counted against the shares available for the grant of awards under the 2020 Plan. In addition, if we grant an SAR in tandem with an option for the same number of shares of our common stock and provide that only one such award may be exercised, which we refer to as a tandem SAR, only the shares covered by the option, and not the shares covered by the tandem SAR, will be so counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the other&#8217;s exercise will not restore shares to the 2020 Plan.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Shares covered by awards under the 2020 Plan that expire or are terminated, surrendered, or cancelled without having been fully exercised or are forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares subject to such award being repurchased by us at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or that result in any shares not being issued (including as a result of an SAR that was settleable either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash) will again be available for the grant of awards under the 2020 Plan (subject, in the case of incentive stock options, to any limitations under the Code). In the case of the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available for the grant of awards and against the sublimit of the 2020 Plan will be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle the SAR upon exercise, and the shares covered by a tandem SAR will not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of the tandem SAR.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">37</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Shares of common stock that are delivered (by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to us by a participant to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of an option or SAR or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an option or SAR (including shares retained from the option or SAR creating the tax obligation) will not be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of awards under the 2020 Plan.

Optionees receive the right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified exercise price and subject to the other terms and conditions that are specified in connection with the option grant. An option that is not intended to be an &#8220;incentive stock option&#8221; is a &#8220;nonstatutory stock option&#8221;. Options may not be granted at an exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. If our Board of Directors approves the grant of an option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on that future date. Under present law, incentive stock options may not be granted at an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of stock options granted to optionees holding more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or any of our subsidiaries. Under the terms of the 2020 Plan, options may not be granted for a term in excess of ten years (and, under present law, five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to optionees holding greater than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock or any of our subsidiaries). The 2020 Plan permits participants to pay the exercise price of options using one or more of the following methods of payment: (i) payment by cash or by check, (ii) except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, in connection with a &#8220;cashless exercise&#8221; through a broker, (iii) to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, and subject to certain conditions, by delivery of shares of common stock to us owned by the participant valued at their fair market value, (iv) to the extent provided in an applicable nonstatutory stock option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, by delivery of a notice of &#8220;net exercise&#8221; as a result of which we will retain a number of shares of common stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the stock option equal to the aggregate exercise price for the portion of the option being exercised divided by the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise, (v) to the extent permitted by applicable law and provided for in the applicable option agreement or approved by our Board of Directors, by any other lawful means, provided that in no event may a promissory note be used to pay the option exercise price, or (vi) by any combination of these forms of payment as approved by our Board of Directors. No option granted under the 2020 Plan may contain a provision entitling the participant to the automatic grant of additional options in connection with any exercise of the original option. No options granted under the 2020 Plan may provide for the payment or accrual of dividend equivalents.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Stock Appreciation Rights</em>. An SAR is an award entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive a number of shares of our common stock, or cash (or a combination of shares of our common stock and cash) determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of our common stock over the measurement price. The 2020 Plan provides that the measurement price of an SAR may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the SAR is granted (provided, however, that if our Board of Directors approves the grant of an SAR effective as of a future date, the measurement price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value on such future date) and that SARs may not be granted with a term in excess of ten years. No SARs granted under the 2020 Plan may contain a provision entitling the participant to the automatic grant of additional SARs in connection with any exercise of the original SAR. No SARs granted under the 2020 Plan may provide for the payment or accrual of dividend equivalents.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">38</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Limitation on Repricing of Options or SARs</em>.

Any dividends (whether paid in cash, stock or property) declared and paid by us with respect to shares of restricted stock will be paid to the participant if and when such shares become free from the restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to such shares or at such other time as the Board of Directors shall determine and set forth in the applicable restricted stock award agreement.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Restricted Stock Unit Awards</em>.

Our Board of Directors may provide that settlement of RSUs will be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the participant, in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code. A participant has no voting rights with respect to any RSU. Our Board of Directors may provide that a grant of RSUs may provide the participant with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Any such dividend equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of our common stock and will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the RSUs with respect to which such dividend equivalents are awarded, in each case, as set forth in the applicable award agreement.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Other Stock-Based and Other Cash-Based Awards</em>.

We refer to these types of awards as other stock-based awards. The Company may also grant awards denominated in cash rather than shares of commons stock, which we refer to as other cash-based awards. Other stock-based and other cash-based awards may be available as a form of payment in settlement of other awards granted under the 2020 Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a participant is otherwise entitled. Other stock-based awards may be paid in shares of our common stock or in cash, as our Board of Directors may determine. The award agreement of an other stock-based or other cash-based award may provide the holder of such award with the right to receive dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of our common stock and will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the other stock-based or other cash-based award with respect to which they are awarded, in each case as set forth in the applicable award agreement.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Performance Conditions</em>. Our Board of Directors may specify that the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout of any award subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be subject to the achievement of one or more of the following performance measures established by the Board of Directors, which may be based on the relative or absolute attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following measures (and which may be determined pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;) or on a non-GAAP basis, as determined by the Board of Directors): (i) cash flow, (ii) cost initiatives, (iii) debt ratios and other measures of credit quality or liquidity, (iv) earnings, (v) earnings per share, (vi) economic profit, (vii) economic value added, (viii) enterprise value, (ix) free cash flow, (x) margins (gross or net), (xi) market share, (xii) market value, (xiii) net income, (xiv) operating income, (xv) return on assets, capital, equity, or investment, (xvi) revenue (gross or net), (xvii) stock price, (xviii) strategic objectives, (xix) total stockholder return, (xx) improvements in capital structure, (xxi) budget and expense management, (xxii) expense targets, (xxiii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, (xxiv) safety record, (xxv) completion of acquisitions or business expansion, (xxvi) achieving research and development goals and milestones, (xxvii) achieving product commercialization goals, or (xxviii) any other measure selected by the Board. These goals may reflect absolute entity or business unit performance or a relative comparison to the performance of a peer group of entities or other external measure of the selected performance criteria and may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated. The Board of Directors may specify that such performance measures will be adjusted to exclude any one or more of (A) extraordinary or non-recurring items, (B) gains or losses on the dispositions of discontinued operations, (C) the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, (D) the writedown of any asset, (E) fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, (F) charges for restructuring and rationalization programs, (G) non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments, (H) amortization of purchased intangibles, (I) the net impact of tax rate changes, (J) non-cash asset impairment charges, (K) executive transition costs, (L) compensation expenses, or (M) any other factors as the Board may determine. Such performance measures: (x) may vary by participant and may be different for different awards; (y) may be particular to a participant or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the participant works; and (z) may cover such period as may be specified by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will have the authority to make equitable adjustments to the performance goals in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations or to account for items of gain, loss, or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principles. Our Board of Directors may adjust the cash or number of shares payable pursuant to a performance award, and the Board of Directors may, at any time, waive the achievement of the applicable performance measures, including in the case of the death or disability of the participant or a change in control of the Company. Any dividends or dividend equivalents granted in connection with performance awards shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the award with respect to which they are granted.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">39</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Eligibility to Receive Awards</strong></em></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">All of the company&#8217;s employees, officers, and directors, as well as our consultants and advisors, are eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Plan.

If the national securities exchange on which we then maintain our primary listing does not have rules regarding when stockholder approval of amendments to equity compensation plans is required (or if our common stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange), no amendment of the 2020 Plan materially increasing the number of shares authorized under the plan, expanding the types of awards that may be granted under the plan or materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the plan will be effective unless and until the our stockholders approve such amendment.

No award will be made that is conditioned on stockholder approval of any amendment to the 2020 Plan unless the award provides that (i) it will terminate or be forfeited if stockholder approval of such amendment is not obtained within 12 months from the date the award was granted and (ii) it may not be exercised or settled (or otherwise result in the issuance of shares of our common stock) prior to the receipt of such stockholder approval.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">41</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Federal Income Tax Consequences</strong></em></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The following is a summary of the United States federal income tax consequences that generally arise with respect to awards granted under the 2020 Plan. This summary is based on the federal tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. In addition, this summary assumes that all awards are exempt from, or comply with, the rules under Section 409A of the Code regarding nonqualified deferred compensation.

A participant will not have income upon the grant of an incentive stock option. Also, except as described below, a participant will not have income upon exercise of an incentive stock option if the participant has been employed by the Company at all times beginning with the option grant date and ending three months before the date the participant exercises the option. If the participant has not been so employed during that time, then the participant will be taxed as described below under &#8220;Nonstatutory Stock Options.&#8221; The exercise of an incentive stock option may subject the participant to the alternative minimum tax.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">A participant will have income upon the sale of the stock acquired under an incentive stock option at a profit (if sales proceeds exceed the exercise price). The type of income will depend on when the participant sells the stock. If a participant sells the stock more than two years after the option was granted and more than one year after the option was exercised, then all of the profit will be long-term capital gain. If a participant sells the stock prior to satisfying these waiting periods, then the participant will have engaged in a disqualifying disposition and a portion of the profit will be ordinary income and a portion may be capital gain. This capital gain will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term. If a participant sells the stock at a loss (sales proceeds are less than the exercise price), then the loss will be a capital loss. This capital loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Nonstatutory Stock Options</em>&nbsp;A participant will not have income upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option. A participant will have compensation income upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option equal to the value of the stock on the day the participant exercised the option less the exercise price. Upon sale of the stock, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the stock on the day the option was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant has held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Stock Appreciation Rights</em>. A participant will not have income upon the grant of a stock appreciation right. A participant generally will recognize compensation income upon the exercise of an SAR equal to the amount of the cash and the fair market value of any stock received. Upon the sale of the stock, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the stock on the day the SAR was exercised. This capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Restricted Stock Awards</em>. A participant will not have income upon the grant of restricted stock unless an election under Section 83(b) of the Code is made within 30 days of the date of grant. If a timely 83(b) election is made, then a participant will have compensation income equal to the value of the stock less the purchase price. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the stock on the date of grant. If the participant does not make an 83(b) election, then when the stock vests the participant will have compensation income equal to the value of the stock on the vesting date less the purchase price. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the sales proceeds less the value of the stock on the vesting date. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Restricted Stock Units</em>. A participant will not have income upon the grant of a restricted stock unit. A participant is not permitted to make a Section 83(b) election with respect to a restricted stock unit award. When the restricted stock unit vests, the participant will have income on the vesting date in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock on the vesting date less the purchase price, if any. When the stock is sold, the participant will have capital gain or loss equal to the sales proceeds less the value of the stock on the vesting date. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the participant held the stock for more than one year and otherwise will be short-term.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em>Other Stock-Based Awards</em>.

The Board also approved submission of the ratification of the Quorum Amendment to the Company&#8217;s stockholders at the Company&#8217;s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt; text-align:justify;">Pursuant to Article VI, Section 6.6 of the Bylaws, except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized (in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute) to amend, repeal, or rescind any provision of these Bylaws or to adopt new bylaws.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt; text-align:justify;">The Board of Directors believed that it was in the Company&#8217;s best interest to amend the Bylaws to decrease the quorum requirement for all meetings of stockholders to the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, present in person, or represented by proxy and approved the Quorum Amendment on November 4, 2021.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt; text-align:justify;">The Board believes that without the Quorum Amendment, there would be an increasing danger that the Company would not be able to obtain a quorum at future stockholder meetings, thus hindering the Company&#8217;s ability to conduct business. Due to the size and how dispersed the Company&#8217;s stockholder base is, and the decision of many brokerage firms, such as Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade, to eliminate discretionary voting even for &#8220;routine&#8221; matters, it had become increasingly more difficult to obtain a quorum consisting of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at stockholder meetings. Without a quorum, the Company cannot convene meetings of stockholders, and the Company may not be able to, among other things, satisfy the Nasdaq requirement to hold an annual meeting of stockholders each year, elect directors, alter or amend its stock incentive plans, conduct certain types of mergers and acquisitions, or raise capital in certain types of transactions. The Board believes that the Quorum Amendment will increase the likelihood that the Company will be able to obtain a quorum at stockholder meetings.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt; text-align:justify;">Ratification of the Quorum Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting, whether in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. An abstention will not be counted for or against the proposal, and therefore will not affect the vote outcome.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt; text-align:justify;">Although the adoption and implementation of the Quorum Amendment does not require the approval of the Company&#8217;s stockholders, we are submitting the Quorum Amendment to the Company&#8217;s stockholders for ratification of our Board of Directors&#8217; approval thereof, in order to provide the Company&#8217;s stockholders an opportunity to express their views on this matter. The stockholder vote on this matter will be considered advisory in nature and not binding on us, but will be considered by our Board of Directors when it determines whether to retain the provisions of the Quorum Amendment or to revert to the prior quorum standard.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.35pt; text-align:justify;">The forgoing description of the Quorum Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the&nbsp;Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended by the Quorum Amendment, which were filed as an exhibit to the Company&#8217;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on November 8, 2021.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><strong>The Board recommends a vote FOR the ratification of an amendment to the amended and restated bylaws of Lightbridge Corporation to amend the definition of a quorum.</strong></p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font:10pt times new roman;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td class="hpbhr">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; TEXT-INDENT: 0px;text-align:center;">44</td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><p style='page-break-after: always'></p></td></tr> <tr style="height:15px"> <td><em><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></em></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;border-top:#000000 1px solid;text-align:justify;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:100%" cellpadding="1"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid;padding:1px;"> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"><strong><a name="p5">PROPOSAL 5 &#8211; ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</a></strong></p></td></tr></table></p> <p style="margin:0px"></p> <p style="margin: 0px"></p> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="margin:0px"> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC&#8217;s rules.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, and retain our named executive officers, who are critical to our success.

If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board, a Participant may satisfy the tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Company); provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company&#8217;s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Common Stock having a fair market value (determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Company) that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without financial accounting implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory minimum withholding tax, the Company may retain such number of shares of Common Stock (up to the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Company)) as the Company shall determine in its sole discretion to satisfy the tax liability associated with any Award. Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 45px; text-align:justify;">(e)&nbsp;<u id="del_u2d3621eb-80fd-4187-a2c4-6314a62b1ce2~b863fc">Amendment of Award</u>.
