Cameco renews equity program, appoints CIBC Capital Markets as Canadian agent
What happened
Cameco Corporation renewed its At-the-Market equity program, allowing the company to issue up to US$1 billion in common shares. Cameco entered a Distribution Agreement with CIBC World Markets Inc., TD Securities Inc., and Scotia Capital Inc. to serve as Canadian agents for the program. This new agreement replaces a prior distribution agreement from 2024.
Why it matters
The renewal of the ATM Program allows Cameco to raise capital by issuing common shares to the public at prevailing market prices. The appointment of CIBC Capital Markets as a Canadian agent facilitates the execution of this capital-raising strategy.
