On the last trading day of June 2020, the common shares of UPC closed on the TSX at a value of CAD$4.58, which represents a 19.79% discount to the net asset value of CAD$5.71 per share.

On April 14, 2020, UPC announced that it had received approval from the TSX to acquire for cancellation, by way of a normal course issuer bid ('NCIB'), up to 12,301,750 common shares of the Corporation, during the period from April 16, 2020 to April 15, 2021. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares under the NCIB during June 2020.

During June 2020, the Corporation entered into a uranium location swap with an independent third party, whereby the Corporation delivered 200,000 pounds of U₃O₈ to the counterparty at a storage facility and received 220,000 pounds of U₃O₈ at an alternate storage facility.

As previously reported (in UPC's news release dated November 14, 2019), UPC has entered into commitments to sell the conversion component contained in 300,000 KgU as UF₆ ("Conversion Sale") and to purchase a total of 230,000 pounds of U₃O₈ ("Uranium Purchase"). The Conversion Sale will result in the exchange of 300,000 KgU as UF₆ for 783,856 pounds of U₃O₈ and cash consideration of USD$6,087,000, and will occur in three equal tranches of 100,000 KgU as UF₆ for delivery in January 2020, June 2020, and July 2020. The Uranium Purchase involves the acquisition of three tranches of 100,000 pounds U₃O₈, 76,300 pounds U₃O₈, and 53,700 pounds U₃O₈, for delivery in October 2019, January 2020, and June 2020, respectively, at an average price of USD$26.04. In October 2019, UPC took delivery of the first tranche of 100,000 pounds U₃O₈. In January 2020, the first Conversion Sale was completed which resulted in an exchange of 100,000 KgU as UF₆ for 261,285 pounds of U₃O_8, and UPC also took delivery of the Uranium Purchase's second tranche of 76,300 pounds U₃O_8. In June 2020, the second tranche of the Conversion Sale was completed, which resulted in an exchange of 100,000 KgU as UF₆ for 261,285 pounds of U₃O₈, and UPC took delivery of 53,700 pounds of U₃O₈ from the last tranche of the Uranium Purchase.

In addition, during the month of June, the Corporation entered into agreements to sell 100,000 pounds of U₃O₈ at a weighted average price of US$32.63, for estimated gross proceeds of CAD$4,424,000. These transactions have not been reflected in the uranium holdings above, as delivery and settlement will occur In July 2020. The net proceeds generated by the June 2020 uranium sales are expected to be utilized to replenish the Corporation's working capital and to fund future share repurchases.

Following the completion of the various uranium transactions described above, UPC expects to hold a total of 16,058,372 pounds U₃O₈, and 400,000 KgU as UF₆.
