- Unanimous support from three independent proxy advisory firms for the proposed amendment.
- High level of support shown by shareholders for the proxy vote.
- Voting participation is below the majority threshold due to broker changes, risking rejection of proposals.

Your Vote is Important – Please Vote Today
No Matter How Many or How Few Shares You Own
Seth Grae, President and CEO of Lightbridge, commented, “I appreciate the support from Lightbridge’s shareholders for participating in the proxy vote for our upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Today, all the proposals submitted for shareholder approval are winning at a large level of support. However, due to certain brokers eliminating the practice of issuing discretionary voting at shareholders' meetings, we are still a bit short of the stockholder vote participation threshold to achieve a majority vote of all issued and outstanding stock on the proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, which has unanimous support from the three leading, independent proxy advisory firms - Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), Glass Lewis and Co, LLC, and Egan-Jones & Co. I urge all our shareholders to vote their proxy, no matter how many shares you own.”
