Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which in this context means statements that express Centrus' opinions, expectations, objectives, beliefs, plans, intentions, strategies, assumptions, forecasts or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements." The words "may," "will," "could," "should," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "continue," "might," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "goal," "would," "commit," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology, and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this press release and include statements regarding Centrus' intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the completion, size, terms and timing of the proposed offering and the anticipated use of proceeds therefrom, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the markets in which Centrus operates. Such forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this press release, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks, and uncertainties.

Particular factors that involve uncertainty and could cause Centrus' actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in its forward-looking statements and which are, and may be, exacerbated by any worsening of the global business and economic environment include but are not limited to the following: its ability to conclude negotiations with its customers; the war in Ukraine and other geopolitical conflicts; its government contracts, including related to changes to the U.S. government's appropriated funding levels for HALEU, the government's inability to satisfy its obligations, and its lease to its facility in Piketon, Ohio; whether or when government demand for HALEU or LEU for government or commercial uses will materialize and at what level; the impact and potential extended duration of a supply/demand imbalance in the market for LEU; significant competition from major LEU producers, including foreign competitors, that may be less cost sensitive than Centrus; limitations on its ability to compete in foreign markets; pricing trends and demand in the uranium and enrichment markets, especially in light of the potential of limited supply and its dependence on others for deliveries of LEU; and its ability to successfully implement its planned expansion projects in Piketon, Ohio and Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this press release. These factors may not constitute all factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in any forward-looking statement. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a predictor of actual results. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this press release and in Centrus' filings with the SEC, including under Part I, Item 1A – "Risk Factors" in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, under Part II, Item 1A – "Risk Factors" in its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in its other filings with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect its business. Centrus does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this press release, except as required by law.
