On July 19, 2021, and based on shareholder approval on July 7, 2021, Uranium Participation Corporation ("UPC") was reorganized into the
Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SPUT).
The Trust's goal is to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding uranium.
The Trust is the first offering in the marketplace that allows individuals to invest directly in physical uranium through a transparent, cost-effective and liquid trust investment structure.
The shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "U.U" ($US) and "U.UN" ($CA).
Yellow Cake plc is a specialist company operating in the uranium sector,

The shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol "YCA".
