Dear Shareholder
Notice to Eligible Shareholders of Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer
We write to you as the registered holder of shares in Uranium Equities Limited (ASX: UEQ) ( UEQ or the Company ) with an address in Australia or New Zealand.

As advised in the Company's ASX announcement dated 6 July 2015, the Company is undertaking an underwritten non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to eligible shareholders of ordinary fully paid shares in the Company at an issue price of 0.8 cents per share and on the basis 1 new share ( New Share ) for every 3 shares ( the Offer ). Pursuant to the Entitlement Offer, the Company will issue up to 151,796,173 Shares to raise up to $1,214,369 before costs ( Rights Issue ).
The Chairman, Tim Goyder, who has a ~25% interest in the Company has committed to taking up his entitlement that he directly controls ($297,471).
The Offer is underwritten by Taylor Collison Limited ( Underwriter ) for $916,898 being the Offer less Mr Goyder’s entitlement ( Underwritten Amount ). The Underwriter will be paid a fee of 5% of the Underwritten Amount plus a management fee of 1% of the Offer. Full details regarding the underwriting is included in the prospectus dated 3 July 2015 ( Prospectus ).
The Entitlement Offer is available to all UEQ shareholders ( Shareholders ) registered on the record date on 9 July 2015 ( Record Date ) whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand ( Eligible Shareholders ).
The Company determined that it would be unreasonable to extend the Offer to shareholders with a registered address outside of Australia and New Zealand, having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the new shares that would be offered and the potentially substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions.
Eligible Shareholders may also apply for Additional Shares.
Purpose of the Entitlement Offer
The funds raised under the Offer will be used to fund a drilling program at the historical high-grade Nabarlek Uranium Mine in the world-class Alligator Rivers Uranium Province in the Northern Territory. A recent review of the ore geometry and alteration vectors in the area surrounding the rich deposit indicates a potential down-plunge offset extension of the high-grade Nabarlek orebody. Additional drilling may also be undertaken at the greater Nabarlek Project.
