Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2019 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on October 31, 2019, American Centrifuge Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ACO”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus Energy Corp. (“Centrus”), entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with the United States Department of Energy (“DOE”) to demonstrate production of HALEU with existing United States origin enrichment technology and provide DOE with HALEU for near term use in its research and development for the advancement of civilian nuclear energy and security, and other programmatic missions. The U.S. Government is currently operating on a continuing resolution through February 18, 2022. On December 7, 2021, DOE issued a change order increasing the funding available under the contract to incrementally fund performance under the contract. Further, due to a COVID-related supply chain delay in the DOE-supplied HALEU storage cylinders, it is not possible to begin production during the current period of performance of the Agreement. As a result, DOE has modified the scope of the existing contract to eliminate the requirement to operate the cascade. As previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 12, 2021, DOE has indicated that it is considering providing for the operational portion of the demonstration to be performed under a new, competitively-awarded contract, with operations to begin in 2022.
The foregoing description of the modification to the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the modification to the Agreement, a copy of which is expected to be filed as an exhibit to Centrus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021.
