Notes:
(1) A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of votes for or against a resolution.
(2) As at close of business on 4 September 2023, being the date
used to determine the entitlement of shareholders to attend and
vote at the Annual General Meeting, the Company's issued share
capital was 202,740,700 Ordinary Shares, the number of Ordinary
Shares held in treasury was 4,584,283 and the total voting rights
in the Company were therefore 198,156,477 .
The Board notes that resolution 1 (to receive the Company's
Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 March
2023) was passed with the necessary majority but received less than
80% of votes in favour.
The Company is aware that Investor Shareholder Services (ISS), a
proxy advisory firm, recommended that shareholders vote against
resolution 1 due to the non-conditionality of vesting of the
Company's long-term incentive awards. As an AIM listed company,
Yellow Cake is not required to and does not offer a separate vote
in respect of its directors' remuneration report and ISS therefore
recommended a vote against the approval of the Company's Annual
Report and Accounts which included the directors' remuneration
report.
Given that Yellow Cake does not have operations, the Board
considers that its Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), which was
developed on the advice of external independent remuneration
consultants, is appropriate for Yellow Cake. As per the terms of
the LTIP, the amount of awards granted pursuant to Yellow Cake's
LTIP is determined by a performance underpin. In addition, the
strike price of the grant is set at the higher of the NAV on the
grant date and the market price in the week prior to the grant
date, thereby introducing a penalty to the extent that a discount
to NAV exists and an incentive to close any NAV discount.
The Company aspires to the highest level of shareholder and
stakeholder engagement and intends to consult with those
shareholders who voted against this resolution to better understand
their specific concerns. The Company will provide an update on this
in the coming months in line with the UK Corporate Governance
Code.

ABOUT YELLOW CAKE
Yellow Cake is a London-quoted company, headquartered in Jersey,
which offers exposure to the uranium spot price. This is achieved
through its strategy of buying and holding physical triuranium
octoxide ("U(3) O(8) "). It may also seek to add value through
other uranium related activities. Yellow Cake seeks to generate
returns for shareholders through the appreciation of the value of
its holding of U(3) O(8) and its other uranium related activities
in a rising uranium price environment. The business is
differentiated from its peers by its ten-year Framework Agreement
for the supply of U(3) O(8) with Kazatomprom, the world's largest
uranium producer. Yellow Cake currently holds 18.81 million lb of
U(3) O(8) , all of which is held in storage in Canada and
France.
