The Convertible Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of enCore and will bear interest from, and including, August 22, 2025, at an annual rate of
The Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at enCore's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after August 21, 2028, and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, enCore may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at its option, if the last reported sale price per common share exceeds
Holders of the Convertible Notes will be able to require enCore to repurchase their Convertible Notes following certain corporate transactions that constitute a "fundamental change" at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. Following certain corporate transactions that constitute a "fundamental change" or if enCore issues a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or notice of redemption.

The capped call transactions were privately negotiated with certain financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of common shares initially underlying the Convertible Notes, including any additional Convertible Notes issuable upon exercise of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional Convertible Notes.
The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be
The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to enCore's common shares upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments enCore is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to enCore's common shares and/or purchase common shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company's common shares or the Convertible Notes at that time.
In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to enCore's common shares and/or purchasing or selling enCore's common shares or other securities following the pricing of the Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes (and are likely to do so during the observation period related to any conversions of the Convertible Notes on or after May 15, 2030, or following early termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the Convertible Notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of enCore's common shares or the Convertible Notes, which could affect the holders' ability to convert the Convertible Notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Convertible Notes, it could affect the amount of cash and/or the number and value of common shares, if any, that holders will receive upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Convertible Notes and enCore's common shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, if any, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, or qualified by way of a prospectus in any province or territory of
