The Definitive Option Agreement replaces an underlying letter of intent by and between the Company and Mercer, dated April 3, 2010, which letter of intent was previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on April 8, 2010.

The Definitive Option Agreement provides that, in order to exercise its Option, the Company is obligated to:

(b) issue to Mercer, both prior to an after the due and complete exercise of the Option, an aggregate of up to 20,000,000 restricted common shares in the share capital of the Company (each a "Share") as follows:
(i) an initial issuance of 10,000,000 of the Shares within two business days of the Effective Date; and which initial Share issuance has now been made; and
(ii) a final issuance of 10,000,000 of the Shares within five business days of the Company's prior receipt of a "technical report" (as that term is defined in section 1.1 of National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101")) meeting certain criteria;
(c) provide funding for or expend minimum cumulative "Expenditures" for "Exploration and Development" (as those terms are defined in the Definitive Option Agreement) work on or in connection with any of the mineral interests comprising the Property interests of not less than $11,500,000 in the following manner:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS
Board Independence
The following directors are (or proposed directors will be) "independent" as that term is defined in Rule 121 of the American Stock Exchange listing standards: Messrs. Randhawa and Flood and Dr. Shaw.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee
Until April 5, 2010, when several of our directors resigned as described above, we had a separate Audit Committee consisting of three members. As of the date of this Information Statement, our entire Board of Directors serves as our Audit Committee. Once Dr. Shaw and Mr. Flood are appointed to our Board of Directors, we intend to once again establish a separate Audit Committee. Mr. Thomas served on our Audit Committee previously, and we anticipate that he will continue to serve on our Audit Committee when it is reconvened. We anticipate that Dr. Shaw and Mr. Flood will be appointed to our Audit Committee.
Our Audit Committee will operate under a written Audit Committee Charter adopted by our Board of Directors on February 11, 2009. The Audit Committee reviews the performance, and recommends to the Board of Directors the selection and retention, of the Company's independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviews with the internal auditors and the independent auditors the overall scope and results of their respective audits, the internal accounting and financial controls and the steps management has taken to monitor and control the Company's major risk exposure. Our Audit Committee Charter can be found on our website at: www.uraniuminternational.com.
Compensation Committee
Until April 5, 2010, when several of our directors resigned as described above, we had a separate Compensation Committee consisting of two members. As of the date of this Information Statement, our entire Board of Directors serves as our Compensation Committee. Once Dr. Shaw and Mr. Flood are appointed to our Board of Directors, we intend to once again establish a separate Compensation Committee.
Our Compensation Committee will operate under a written Compensation Committee Charter adopted by our Board of Directors on February 11, 2009. Our Compensation Committee charter can be found on our website at: www.uraniuminternational.com.
The fundamental objective of our executive compensation policies is to attract, retain and motivate executive leadership for us that will execute our business strategy, uphold our values and deliver results and long-term value to our stockholders. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee is tasked to develop compensation strategies and programs that will attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and high-performing executives through compensation that is:
(a) performance based: a significant component of compensation should be determined based on whether or not we meet certain performance criteria that in the view of our Board of Directors are indicative of our success;
- 16 -
(b) stockholder based: equity incentives should be used to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders; and
(c) fair: compensation should take into account compensation among similarly situated companies, our success relative to peer companies and our overall pay scale.
It is the Compensation Committee's goal to have a substantial portion of each executive officer's compensation contingent upon our performance, as well as upon his or her individual performance. The Compensation Committee's compensation philosophy for an executive officer emphasizes an overall analysis of the executive's performance for the year, projected role and responsibilities, required impact on execution of our strategy, external pay practices, total cash and total direct compensation positioning, and other factors the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee's philosophy also considers employee retention, vulnerability to recruitment by other companies and the difficulty and costs associated with replacing executive talent. Based on these objectives, compensation programs for similarly situated companies and the philosophies of the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee has determined that we should provide our executive officers compensat ion packages composed of the following elements:
(a) base salary, which reflects individual performance and is designed primarily to be competitive with salary levels at comparably sized companies; and
(b) long-term stock-based incentive awards, which strengthen the mutuality of interests between executive officers and our stockholders.
Nominating Committee
We do not have a standing nominating committee; our entire Board of Directors participates in the process of nominating directors to serve on our board. Due to the relatively small size of our Board of Directors and limited operations to date, we have not felt the need to establish a separate nominating committee.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Mr. Randhawa serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors, while Mr. Jivraj serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer.
Our entire Board of Directors is responsible for, and involved with, risk oversight of our Company. As our operations expand, we anticipate that the primary responsibility for day-to-day risk oversight will be designated to a committee of the Board of Directors, which will report to the board at large.
- 17 -
Board and Committee Meetings, Annual Meeting
During our fiscal year ended February 28, 2010, our Board of Directors held six meetings. None of our incumbent directors attended less than 75% of such Board of Directors' meetings or applicable committee meetings while serving as a director or on such committees. We did not hold an annual meeting during our fiscal year ended February 28, 2010.
Audit Committee Report
As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, as filed with the SEC May 29, 2009, the members of the Company's Audit Committee at that time were Messrs. Jas Butalia, Richard Cherry and William D. Thomas. The Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from James Stafford, Chartered Accountants, required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the financial statements for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2009 filed with the SEC.
Shareholder Communications
Our shareholders are able to send communications to our Board of Directors c/o Mr. Thomas, our corporate Secretary, at our executive office address as set forth on the cover page of this Information Statement.
