enCore Energy Corp. Prices Upsized $100 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering
DALLAS, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU) (TSXV: EU) (the "Company" or "enCore"), America's Clean Energy Company™, announced today the pricing of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Convertible Notes") in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The offering was upsized from the previously announced offering size of $75 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes, enCore granted the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes a 13-day right to purchase up to an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. The sale of the Convertible Notes is expected to close on August 22, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. 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 5.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026. The Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. Before May 15, 2030, holders will have the right to convert their Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. At any time from, and including, May 15, 2030, noteholders may convert their notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. enCore will have the right to elect to settle conversions either in cash, common shares or in a combination of cash and common shares. The initial conversion rate is 303.9976 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $3.29 per common share. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 27.5% over the last reported sale price of $2.58 per common share on August 19, 2025 on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. 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 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. In addition, the Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole and not in part, at enCore's option at any time in connection with certain changes in tax law. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. 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. enCore estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $95.3 million (or approximately $109.8 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use $10.0 million of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering to pay the cost of entering into capped call transactions in connection with the Convertible Notes and approximately $10.6 million of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering to repay amounts outstanding under its loan agreement. enCore intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, enCore intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to pay the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions and the remainder of net proceeds for general corporate purposes. 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 $4.52 per share, which represents a premium of 75% over the last reported sale price of enCore's common shares of $2.58 per share on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 19, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. 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 Canada. As a result, neither the Convertible Notes nor any common shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes may be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to persons located or resident in Canada except pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws. This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Convertible Notes or any common shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, nor will there be any sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. All references to dollar amounts contained in this press release are expressed in United States dollars.

3 Cheap Stocks Under $100 That Look Like Absolute Steals Right Now
Key Points Pinterest, United Parcel Service, and Comcast are some of the cheapest big-name stocks you can buy right now. They all trade at low earnings multiples and can be strong long-term investments. 10 stocks we like better than Pinterest › If you don't want to chase all-time highs and buy stocks at extremely high valuations, the good news is that there are many decently priced options. And below, I'm going to focus on what I think are some of the best deals available. Three stocks that trade at less than $100 per share and can be bargain buys right now include Pinterest (NYSE: PINS), United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS), and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA). A couple are facing concerning headwinds, but here's why they can all be great long-term investments. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Pinterest Pinterest is a popular social media site where people go for ideas related to just about anything. Whether it's home renovation projects, baking, or recent shopping hauls, there's a ton of content to sift through. The platform is particularly popular with Gen Z, which Pinterest says accounts for more than 40% of its monthly user base. Entering this week, shares of Pinterest have been trading around $35, and that's with the stock rising 24% since the start of the year. And yet, it's still a cheap buy, trading at just 13 times its trailing earnings. Its price/earnings-to-growth multiple, or PEG, is around 0.8. That's based on analyst expectations over the next five years, and it implies that Pinterest is one heck of a cheap growth stock. The company's top line rose by 17% in its most recent quarter (which ended on June 30), to just under $1 billion. Monthly active users rose by 11% to 578 million. With a market cap of only $24 billion, Pinterest is a business that could get a whole lot more valuable given how popular it is with younger audiences. It can be a terrific long-term buy. United Parcel Service There's not much growth happening for United Parcel Service these days. The logistics company is battling significant macroeconomic headwinds due to tariffs. It's trading at less than $90, and the last time you could have bought the stock at a much cheaper price than that was in 2013. UPS is facing some near-term challenges, but it's hard to not like the business over the long haul. The world of e-commerce is still getting bigger, and demand for global shipments isn't likely to slow down. There may be short-term adversity, but if you're a long-term investor, you don't need to worry too much about UPS given its dominance in the industry. The company is making tough but smart decisions, such as scaling back on volume from Amazon in an effort to improve profitability. And it is profitability, not simply sales, that should drive decisions. Although it may not be a popular move and it may hurt the top line, if it improves profit margins, that could be a big win in the end. UPS is trading at a price-to-earnings multiple (P/E) of 13, and in the long run it could have plenty of upside as economic conditions improve. Comcast Rounding out this list of cheap stocks is media and tech company Comcast. It's trading around $34, and its P/E is less than 6 -- an astoundingly low valuation for one of the largest entertainment companies in the country. Its high debt load (around $100 billion) is undoubtedly turning away a lot of risk-averse investors. But with Comcast spinning off many cable TV networks later this year, that could help reduce costs and allow it to focus on higher-growth opportunities in areas such as streaming. The business may have become too bloated, and simplifying its approach could work well for investors. Overall, Comcast still has excellent brands in its portfolio, and it's highly profitable, with an operating margin of around 20% over the past six months. I'm optimistic that by becoming leaner, the business can be better positioned for growth in the future. At such a cheap valuation, it may be too tempting to pass up since it offers an excellent margin of safety. Should you invest $1,000 in Pinterest right now? Before you buy stock in Pinterest, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Pinterest wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $671,466!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,115,633!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,077% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 185% for the S&P 500.
