In addition, Denison has agreed to grant to the Underwriters an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") exercisable, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Underwriters to purchase up to an additional 5.55 million shares of the Company at the Issue Price until October 16, 2023 for potential additional gross proceeds to Denison of up to approximately US$8.27 million.

Denison intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund (1) the advancement of the proposed Phoenix in-situ recovery uranium mining operation at Denison's Wheeler River Project (the "Phoenix Project") through the procurement of long lead items (including associated engineering, testing and design) identified during the ongoing Front End Engineering Design process and the Phoenix Feasibility Study; (2) exploration and evaluation expenditures; and (3) general corporate and administrative expenses, including those in support of corporate development activities, and working capital requirements.

Based upon preliminary budgets and plans, Denison expects the funds, taken together with existing financial resources including those from prior prospectus financings, will be sufficient to advance the Phoenix Project to a final investment decision and into the project execution phase. Denison further expects to be able to fund operations during this period while maintaining a large portion of its current physical uranium holdings, to be utilized in the future in connection with financing the continued advancement and/or construction of the Phoenix Project.

Denison will pay to the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 4.75% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any proceeds received from the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

The Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's existing Canadian short form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") and U.S. registration statement on Form F-10, as amended (File No. 333-258939) (the "Registration Statement"), each dated September 16, 2021.
