    Randy Baron's questions to Westwater Resources Inc (WWR) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Randy Baron of Pinnacle Associates Ltd. asked for an update on the loan syndication timeline and due diligence process, and also inquired about the Export-Import Bank letter of interest, its potential size, and if it could serve as a bridge for financing.

    Answer

    CFO Steven Cates explained that while the process has been delayed, the new syndicate members are getting up to speed quickly and he is confident in closing the financing, though he declined to give a specific date. He clarified the EXIM Bank letter is a first step for potential future funding for Phase 2 or the Coosa deposit, not a primary source for Phase 1, for which he believes the current debt syndication may be oversubscribed.

    Question

    Asked about the timeline and status of the new debt syndication process, the significance and potential size of the Export-Import Bank letter of interest, and the contingency plan if the primary debt financing fails.

    Answer

    The company is confident in the current debt syndication process, leveraging existing due diligence to speed things up, but will not commit to a timeline. The Export-Import Bank is a potential future funding source for business expansion beyond Phase 1, not a primary solution for the current financing need. They feel the current debt syndication is strong and likely oversubscribed.
