The meeting will be held virtually via live webcast from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to provide all shareholders with equal opportunity to participate in the meeting. The accompanying management proxy circular provides important information about the business of the meeting, the voting process, this year's nominated directors, our corporate governance practices, our approach to executive compensation and our 2025 compensation decisions. Please take some time to read through the circular before you vote your shares. 2025 was another exciting year as we continued to see positive momentum for Cameco as a global nuclear fuel and energy company. Cameco delivered strong performance across all segments in an industry where we continue to see significant support for nuclear energy from government, industry and the public. Focused on strategy Cameco's performance is shaped by our vison of powering a secure energy future and our strategic plan that is set within the context of what we believe is a transitioning market environment. Increasing populations, a growing focus on electrification and decarbonization, and concerns about energy security and affordability are driving a global focus on tripling nuclear power capacity by 2050, which is expected to durably strengthen the long-term fundamentals for our industry. Nuclear energy must be a central part of the solution to the world's shift to a low-carbon, secure energy economy. It is an option that can provide the power needed, not only reliably, but also safely and affordably, and in a way that will help achieve climate, energy and national security objectives. Our strategy is to capture full-cycle value by remaining disciplined and building a balanced portfolio in accordance with our contracting framework; profitably producing from our tier-one assets and aligning our production decisions in all segments of the fuel cycle with our delivery commitments and customer needs; being financially disciplined; and exploring other emerging opportunities within the nuclear power value chain, all of which align with our commitment to manage our business responsibly and sustainably, contribute to decarbonization and help to provide secure and affordable energy. Thanks to our disciplined strategy, Cameco's balance sheet is strong and we expect it will enable us to continue executing our strategy while self-managing risk, including risks related to global macro-economic uncertainty, volatility and shifting trade policy decisions. Following the joint acquisition of Westinghouse Electric Company (Westinghouse) with Brookfield in late 2023, Cameco expanded its participation in the nuclear fuel and reactor value chains to include fuel fabrication, maintenance, design and engineering for light water reactors. In addition, a strategic partnership between Cameco, Brookfield, Westinghouse and the U.S. government was announced in October 2025 to accelerate the global deployment of Westinghouse's reactor technology, which marks a major milestone for the nuclear industry. Cameco's board is engaged and works closely with management. We believe that regular focused discussions on strategy and its execution help ensure alignment with our objective of delivering long-term value to Cameco's shareholders and other stakeholders. Sound governance The board regularly reviews Cameco's governance practices, and the board assessment process provides insight into how we can continually enhance governance at Cameco. The expertise, skills and experience of our board bring tremendous value to our strategic direction, oversight of management and our affairs, and governance at Cameco generally. This year shareholders will be asked to elect nine directors to the board to serve for a term of one year. Daniel Camus, a Cameco director since 2011, is not standing for re-election having reached our director term limit of 15 years. We thank him for his strong contributions, particularly in his role as chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, and wish him well in retirement. ‌1 This section contains forward-looking information. For additional information about forward-looking information, please see page 113. Investing in community We believe that strong relationships with our communities are critical to Cameco's sustainability and long-term success. Cameco leads and participates in funding support, community initiatives and volunteering to give back and make a difference across Saskatchewan and in our Ontario communities. In 2025, Cameco made a transformational $10-million donation to the University of Saskatchewan, which will, among other things, support a new undergraduate Nuclear Fuel Cycle program, fund opportunities for northern and Indigenous communities through initiatives like the Cameco STEM Pathways Initiative at the USask Prince Albert Campus, and support research and innovation projects specific to the energy and mining sector through the nuclear energy technology accelerator. Looking ahead Cameco has been invested across the nuclear fuel cycle since its inception in 1988. We have built a strong foundation in Canada alongside our government stakeholders and have grown into a leader in the nuclear industry. Cameco is recognized as a global company, making a difference on a global scale and helping to provide something the world needs: carbon-free, safe, reliable and secure baseload electricity. We believe the fundamentals for nuclear power and nuclear fuel are more favourable than ever, and we are optimistic about Cameco's role in helping meet the world's growing demand for electricity. Cameco's senior leadership team has a wealth of experience and industry knowledge gained through long careers in the nuclear energy industry. We have confidence in their ability, and the team of next generation leaders they have built, to continue to execute on the company's strategy and achieve our vision. The team is widely respected, conducts itself with integrity, and leads with a demonstrated commitment to safety, people and the environment. Details about recent leadership transitions can be found in the Message from the Chair of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee . Thank you for your continued confidence in Cameco and please remember to vote your shares. We look forward to welcoming you to our annual meeting on May 7, 2026.

A quorum is required to hold the meeting and transact business. A quorum is met when at least two people attending the meeting hold, or represent by proxy, at least 25% of Cameco's total issued and outstanding common shares. Receive the financial statements Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the auditor's report will be received at the meeting. You can download a copy of our 2025 annual report (which includes our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) and the auditor's report) on our website (cameco.com/invest/financial-information). You will receive a paper copy of the annual report only if you request one. Elect the directors The board recommends you vote for each nominated director. Under the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA) requirements for uncontested director elections, you can vote for or against each nominated director (see page 15). Directors must receive a majority of the votes cast in favour of their election for their election to be valid. This year nine director nominees, all qualified to serve on Cameco's board, are standing for election to the board to serve for a term of one year. Each elected director will hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until a successor is elected or appointed. Catherine Gignac Tammy Cook-Searson Tim Gitzel Marie Inkster Kathryn (Kate) Jackson Don Kayne Peter Kukielski Dominique Minière Leontine van Leeuwen-Atkins You can read about each of the nominees in the director profiles starting on page 16, including their 2025 voting results. The voting results reflect the number of votes after the reduction of the non-resident vote according to Cameco's voting restrictions. Reappoint the auditors The board, on the recommendation of the Audit and Finance Committee, proposes that KPMG LLP (KPMG) be reappointed as our auditor until the end of our next annual meeting. You can vote for reappointing KPMG and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration, or you can withhold your vote . The board has invited a representative of KPMG to attend the annual meeting. The auditor reinforces the importance of a diligent and transparent financial reporting process and strengthens investor confidence in our financial reporting. KPMG provides Cameco with three types of services: audit services generally relate to the audit and review of annual financial statements and notes, review of interim financial statements and notes, conducting the annual audits of affiliates, auditing our internal controls over financial reporting and providing other services that may be required by regulators. These may include services for registration statements, prospectuses, reports and other documents that are filed with securities regulators, or other documents issued for securities offerings; audit-related services include advising on accounting matters, attest services not directly linked to the financial statements that are required by regulators and conducting audits of employee benefit plans; and tax services relate to tax compliance and tax advice that are beyond the scope of the annual audit. These include reviewing transfer-pricing documentation and correspondence with tax authorities, preparing corporate tax returns, and advice on international tax matters, tax implications of capital market transactions and capital tax. Reasons for reappointing KPMG as auditor KPMG, or its predecessor firms, have been our auditor since Cameco was incorporated in 1988. Based on KPMG's performance and consideration of other relevant factors noted below, the Audit and Finance Committee believes that retaining KPMG for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, is in the best interest of Cameco and its shareholders. The process that the Audit and Finance Committee follows to recommend the appointment of our auditor reflects recommendations of the Canadian Public Accountability Board, Canada's independent, public company audit regulator charged with overseeing audits performed by Canadian public accounting firms, as well as the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada, Canada's national accounting organization. The committee considers the following factors among other things: Industry experience Because Cameco operates in the nuclear fuel business, which is complex and unlike other commodities or fuel products, we place a high degree of importance on the relevant industry experience and geographical reach that the external auditor can provide through their audit team and related specialists. Uranium and fuel services are not traded in meaningful quantities on a commodity exchange; the majority of uranium and fuel services are bought under long-term contracts that are bilaterally negotiated between the end user and the supplier and each contract is unique. The industry is dominated by state-owned entities and therefore tends to be opaque, with very little disclosure about the industry and how it operates. There are no other publicly traded companies whose operations span the scope of the nuclear fuel cycle that Cameco's operations do. We believe that changing audit firms with the sole purpose being to reduce auditor tenure could have a negative impact on our audit arising from a lack of continuity in understanding the complexities of the nuclear fuel business and a more cumbersome audit process. Auditor independence KPMG appoints both a lead and local engagement partner for Cameco's audit and rotates its partners approximately every five years to mitigate institutional familiarity. It also staggers the rotation of the partners involved in the audit to provide the continuity necessary to audit a complex business while helping ensure continued independence. The International Federation of Accountants has reported that studies on audit firm rotation do not clearly support the notion that mandatory audit firm rotation will enhance audit quality. Some studies have found that while the cumulative number of audit partner rotations is associated with higher audit quality, the cumulative number of audit firm rotations is associated with lower audit quality. To help ensure KPMG's independence, we also have a policy governing the hiring of current and former partners, principals, shareholders and professional employees of our auditor. The policy requires a Cameco department that wishes to hire such person to inform the chief financial officer (CFO) and chief legal officer of the proposed hiring, who will consider whether the hiring may compromise the independence of the auditor or any member of the audit engagement team. Prior to extending an offer of employment, Cameco consults with the lead engagement partner to confirm the conclusion that such employment will not impact the auditor's independence. The policy also requires a cooling off period before members of the audit engagement team may be hired for any financial reporting oversight roles. Overall audit quality and appropriateness of fees The Audit and Finance Committee conducts an annual assessment of KPMG every year to help ensure effective and quality auditor service. This includes assessing the senior audit engagement team, reviewing the evaluation of the auditor's activities completed by management and the committee members, and reviewing the auditor's audit quality indicators. The committee reviews the auditor's independence annually. The committee considered several factors as part of its assessment, including the following: an annual report from KPMG describing its internal quality control procedures and any material issues raised through internal and external reviews; the quality of communication with the Audit and Finance Committee; the audit hours and appropriateness of fees; the quality and efficiency of the services provided, including external data on quality and performance; the performance, experience and ongoing development of the audit team, including time spent on key risk areas by senior personnel; and relevant industry expertise and geographical reach. 2025 % of total fees 2024 % of total fees Audit fees Cameco 1,8 $ 3,005,100 79.1 $ 3,268,600 76.0 Other statutory 2,8 $ 461,500 12.2 $ 467,700 10.9 Securities engagement 3 $ 97,000 2.6 $ 217,900 5.1 Total audit fees $ 3,563,600 93.8 $ 3,954,200 92.0 Audit-related fees Translation services 4 $ 0 0.0 $ 82,500 1.9 Pensions and other audit- $ 77,400 2.1 $ 85,500 2.0 related services 5 Total audit-related fees $ 77,400 2.1 $ 168,000 3.9 Tax fees Compliance $ 6,300 0.1 $ 0 0.0 Planning and advice 6 $ 150,600 4.0 $ 80,200 1.9 Total tax fees $ 156,900 4.1 $ 80,200 1.9 All other fees Other non-audit fees 7 $ 0 0.0 $ 95,600 2.2 Total fees $ 3,797,900 100% $ 4,298,000 100% The table below shows the fees paid to KPMG and its affiliates for services in 2024 and 2025. Amounts billed for the audit of Cameco's annual consolidated financial statements and the review of interim financial statements. Amounts billed for the audit of Cameco's subsidiary and joint venture financial statements. Amounts billed for auditor involvement with consents, comfort letters and due diligence in connection with the annual registration statement and base shelf prospectus. Translation services for 2024 relate to the French translation of the 2023 annual financial statements and MD&A. No invoices were issued in 2025 for translation services.

Other non-audit fees for 2024 include amounts billed for Cameco's I-4 membership. No invoices were issued in 2025. Comparative figures were reclassified to be consistent with the presentation of 2025 fees. The Audit and Finance Committee pre-approves both audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG, and the committee pre-approved these services in 2025 and 2024. At our 2025 annual meeting, 65,435,404 votes (90.05%) were for the appointment of KPMG LLP as our auditors and 7,232,783 votes (9.95%) were withheld . Advisory vote on executive compensation ("say on pay") The board is recommending that you vote for our approach to executive compensation. Please take some time to read about our compensation strategy, our compensation program, how we assess performance and how the board makes compensation-related decisions. You can find a full discussion about executive compensation at Cameco starting on page 67. The board believes this non-binding advisory vote gives shareholders a timely and effective way to give input to the board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee on this important matter. You can vote for or against our approach to executive compensation by voting on the following resolution: Be it resolved that, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors for executive compensation, the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in Cameco's management proxy circular delivered in advance of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. Last year 70,623,480 of the votes (97.19%) were for our approach to executive compensation and 2,043,606 of the votes (2.81%) were against . Other business We did not receive any shareholder proposals for this meeting and are not aware of any other items of business to be considered at the meeting. If other items of business are properly brought before the meeting, you (or your proxyholder) can vote as you deem appropriate. ‌Delivery of meeting materials We are using notice and access to deliver the meeting materials to shareholders.

Only holders of our common shares have full voting rights. If you held common shares at the close of business on March 9, 2026, you or the person you appoint as your proxyholder can attend the virtual annual meeting and vote your shares. Each Cameco common share you own is entitled to one vote, except where ownership and voting restrictions apply. As of March 9, 2026, we had 435,532,978 common shares issued and outstanding. Principal holders of common shares Management, to the best of its knowledge, is not aware of any shareholder holding 5% or more of our common shares as of March 9, 2026. Our Class B share The Province of Saskatchewan holds our one Class B share (100% of our Class B shares). This entitles the province to receive notices of and attend all meetings of shareholders, for any class or series of shares. The Class B shareholder can only vote at a meeting of Class B shareholders, and votes as a separate class if there is a proposal to: amend Part 1 of Schedule B of the articles, which states that: Cameco's registered office and head office operations must be in Saskatchewan, the executive officers and generally all of the senior officers (vice-presidents and above) must live in Saskatchewan, and all annual meetings of shareholders must be held in Saskatchewan; amend the articles in a way that would change the rights of Class B shareholders; or amalgamate, if the amalgamation would require an amendment to Part 1 of Schedule B of the articles. Ownership and voting restrictions Restrictions on owning, controlling and voting Cameco common shares are set out in the Eldorado Nuclear Limited Reorganization and Divestiture Act (Canada) (ENL Reorganization Act) and our company articles. See Appendix A on page 116 for the definitions in the ENL Reorganization Act, including definitions of resident and non-resident . Ownership restrictions for non-residents were put in place so that Cameco would remain Canadian controlled. The following is a summary of the limitations listed in our company articles: Residents - A Canadian resident, either individually or together with associates, cannot hold, beneficially own or control shares or other Cameco securities, directly or indirectly, representing more than 25% of the total votes that can be cast to elect directors. Non-residents - A non-resident of Canada, either individually or together with associates, cannot hold, beneficially own or control shares or other Cameco securities, directly or indirectly, representing more than 15% of the total votes that can be cast to elect directors. Voting restrictions - All votes cast at the meeting by non-residents, either beneficially or controlled directly or indirectly, will be counted and pro-rated collectively to limit the proportion of votes cast by non-residents to no more than 25% of the total shareholder votes cast at the meeting. Residency declarations Shareholders are required to declare their residency, ownership of Cameco shares and other factors relating to the restrictions, so we can verify compliance with the ownership of, and voting restrictions on, our shares. Nominees, brokers and other intermediaries such as banks, trust companies, securities brokers or other financial institutions who hold the shares on behalf of non-registered shareholders need to make the declaration on their behalf. If you plan to vote online during the meeting, you will need to complete the residency declaration online during the live webcast. If we do not receive your residency declaration, we may consider you to be a non-resident of Canada. The chair of the meeting may ask shareholders and their proxyholders for additional information to verify compliance with our ownership and voting restrictions. The chair of the meeting will use the declarations and other information to determine compliance with our ownership restrictions. Enforcement of ownership and voting restrictions The company's articles allow us to enforce the ownership and voting restrictions by suspending voting rights, forfeiting dividends, prohibiting the issue and transfer of Cameco shares, requiring the sale or disposition of Cameco shares, and suspending all other shareholder rights. How to vote You can vote your shares in advance or vote in real time online at the virtual meeting. Voting by proxy Voting by proxy is the easiest way to vote. This means you appoint another person (called a proxyholder ) to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf. Tim Gitzel, chief executive officer (CEO) of Cameco, or in his absence Jenny Hoffman, corporate secretary of Cameco, each with full power of substitution (the Cameco proxyholders ), have agreed to act as proxyholder to vote your shares for you at the meeting according to your instructions, and they are the proxyholders named in your proxy form or voting instruction form. You have the right to appoint someone other than the Cameco proxyholders to represent you at the meeting (the person you appoint does not need to be a Cameco shareholder) . If you wish to appoint another person as your proxyholder, carefully follow the instructions set out on the following pages. If you vote in advance and do not appoint another person as your proxyholder, one of the Cameco proxyholders will be your proxyholder. If you appoint the Cameco proxyholders but do not tell them how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted: for electing each nominated director listed in this management proxy circular; for reappointing KPMG LLP as auditor and authorize the directors to fix their remuneration; and for the advisory vote on our approach to executive compensation. All properly executed written proxies and properly completed proxies submitted by telephone or internet, delivered in accordance with this solicitation, are required to be voted at the meeting consistent with the directions provided in the proxy, unless the proxy is revoked as set out on page 12. If you are a registered shareholder, we mail the notification directly to you and your package includes a proxy form. We distribute the notification to intermediaries to forward to our non-registered shareholders. For most non-registered shareholders, your package is sent by Broadridge and includes a voting instruction form. We pay the cost of proxy solicitation for all registered and non-registered shareholders (including objecting and non-objecting non-registered shareholders). Make sure you allow enough time for your instructions to reach our transfer agent if you are sending your completed proxy form or voting instruction form by mail. To be valid, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Computershare), our transfer agent, must receive your voting instructions before 10:00 a.m. CST on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 (the proxy deadline ).

Asking questions We are committed to shareholder engagement and believe that the virtual meeting format helps facilitate broader shareholder participation than an in-person meeting because our head office is in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It is anticipated that registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered shareholders who have properly appointed themselves as proxyholder) will be afforded substantially the same rights and opportunities to participate in the meeting as they would at an in-person or hybrid meeting. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholders) can ask questions related to the business of the meeting via the online meeting platform. Any questions received from shareholders or proxyholders will be read aloud by the chair of the meeting or a Cameco representative. A Cameco representative will respond to questions at an appropriate point in the meeting or during the question-and-answer session. Questions directly related to a particular motion will be addressed after that motion has been introduced. Once the formal business of the meeting has concluded, registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including non-registered shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholders) will have the opportunity to ask questions unrelated to the formal business of the meeting. We will only answer questions of interest to all shareholders during the meeting. Questions that are (a) irrelevant to the business and affairs of Cameco or the business of the meeting, (b) related to material non-public information of Cameco, (c) related to personal grievances or to further personal interests, (d) derogatory or otherwise in bad taste, (e) repetitive of those made by another shareholder or duly appointed proxyholder or (f) out of order or otherwise not appropriate, will not be accepted, as determined by the chair of the meeting. It is possible that we may not be able to respond to all questions due to time constraints. To ensure fairness for all attendees, the chair of the meeting will determine the amount of time allocated to each question and will have the right to limit or consolidate questions. We will post the question(s) and Cameco's answer(s) to all appropriate questions received during the meeting on the investor page of our website as soon as is practical after the meeting. Other important things to know If for any reason a nominated director is unable to serve, your proxyholder has the right to vote for another nominated director at their discretion. If there are amendments or other items of business that properly come before the meeting, your proxyholder can vote on each matter as your proxyholder sees fit, as permitted by law, whether or not it is a routine matter, an amendment or contested item of business. The chair of the meeting has the discretion to accept or reject any late proxies and can waive or extend the deadline for receiving proxy voting instructions without notice but is under no obligation to do so. If the meeting is postponed or adjourned, the deadline for Computershare to receive your voting instructions will be extended to 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in Saskatchewan) before the meeting is reconvened for your new voting instructions to be valid. If you are a registered shareholder and wish to revoke your proxy without giving new voting instructions, the corporate secretary must receive the notice by 5:00 p.m. CST on the day before the meeting is reconvened or you must give notice to the chair of the meeting before the start of the reconvened meeting.

See Nomination process on page 32 for more information. Board composition This year's nominated directors have been selected based on several factors, including competencies and qualifications, experience, knowledge and other core attributes we require of directors.

Majority voting The election of directors is governed by the majority voting requirements under the CBCA. The statutory voting requirement for uncontested director elections requires shareholders to vote for or against a director nominee. A nominee must receive a majority of for votes to be elected to the board. A nominated director who does not receive a majority of votes cast in favour of their election will not be elected. The seat will remain open, or if the nominee is an incumbent, they may continue in office for 90 days following the vote in certain circumstances or until a successor is appointed or elected, whichever is earlier. Director profiles A profile of each nominated director follows with their background, key skills and experience, other public company directorships, as well as details about their 2025 meeting attendance, share ownership and voting results at our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, as applicable.

We recognize that directors may receive short notice for special meetings, and we expect them to make their best effort to attend them. We must have a majority of directors in attendance to hold a meeting and transact business. A total of four special meetings were held by the board and board committees in 2025. The board and committees meet in camera without management present at each meeting, and the independent directors meet in camera at least once a year in accordance with our governance guidelines. The chair or the committee chair, as the case may be, presides over the in camera sessions. The table below is a summary of the meetings held in 2025 and the overall attendance record. Meeting attendance for each director is provided in the director profiles beginning on page 16.

Board committees function independently of management. Tim Gitzel, our CEO, is therefore not a member of any board committee but is invited to attend all committee meetings, and he attended all committee meetings in 2025. Director compensation and share ownership Our director compensation program is intended to align with market practice and recognize the time commitment, responsibility and attention directors devote to board and committee responsibilities throughout the year. Approach Our director compensation program has three main objectives: recruit and retain qualified individuals to serve as members of our board and contribute to our overall success; align the interests of our board and shareholders by requiring directors to own Cameco shares or share equivalents and to meet our share ownership guidelines within five years of joining the board; and pay competitively by positioning compensation at the median of director compensation paid by companies that are comparable in size and similar to Cameco in the nature and scope of operations. We use the same comparator group to benchmark executive and director compensation (see page 73). The Human Resources and Compensation Committee assists the board in overseeing the director compensation policies and program. You can read about compensation governance starting on page 69. Director fees The Human Resources and Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant conducted a comprehensive review of the director compensation program and, upon the recommendation of the consultant and the committee, the board approved increases in director compensation for 2025 to align director fees at the median of the 2025 compensation comparator group (see page 73). Changes included an increase in the annual retainer (from $375,000 to $530,000 for the board chair and from $200,000 to $290,000 for the other directors) as well as an increase of $5,000 for the committee chair retainers. Travel fees were updated and are based on travel time rather than distance to recognize that various modes of transportation are used and a distance-based fee may not adequately compensate directors for their time. An adjustment was also implemented for directors who are non-residents of Canada to reflect the additional demands associated with board service as a non-resident. The table below shows the 2025 director fee schedule. Previous increases in director compensation were in 2022 as disclosed in our prior circulars. Tim Gitzel is compensated in his role as CEO and does not receive any director compensation.

Directors who are non-residents of Canada receive an adjustment of 1.3x their total director fees, including all retainer and travel fees. Non-executive directors do not participate in Cameco's incentive compensation plans or pension plans. Share ownership requirements As share ownership is an important part of compensation governance, we require each director to own Cameco $ 2,000 $ 3,000 shares or deferred share units (DSUs) to align the interests of our directors and shareholders. Directors must hold at least three times their annual retainer in Cameco equity within five years of joining the board. The board chair has a higher ownership requirement because of the higher retainer, and a director who assumes the chair position has an additional three years to meet the increased level. Catherine Gignac meets the board chair ownership guidelines. As CEO, Tim Gitzel is required to meet our executive share ownership guidelines (see page 76). Directors can count Cameco shares and DSUs to meet the ownership guidelines. A DSU is a notional share that has the same value as one Cameco common share. DSUs earn additional units as dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends paid on our common shares. DSUs can only be redeemed by directors after they retire from the board. Directors must receive at least 60% of their director fees in DSUs. Directors can elect to receive the remaining director fees in cash or a portion in cash and the balance in DSUs in increments of 25% but must decide on the allocation before the beginning of each fiscal year. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee regularly reviews our share ownership guidelines to make sure they continue to align with market practice. To assess compliance, we use our year-end closing share price on the TSX or the price the shares or units were acquired at, whichever is higher. As of December 31, 2025, directors held DSUs worth a total of $42,157,580 (representing approximately 335,436 common shares) based on the year-end closing price of Cameco shares on the TSX ($125.68).
