EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-48174) (the “ Registration Statement ”) of Denison Mines Corp. (the “ Registrant ”) amends the cover page of the original filing by designating C T Corporation System as the agent for service and the address to which copies of notices and communications should be sent. Item 3 of Part II (Incorporation of Documents by Reference) has been amended to add certain additional information to such Item. Item 6 of Part II (Indemnification of Directors and Officers) has been amended to replace such Item in its entirety. Item 8 of Part II (Exhibits) has also been amended to update Exhibit 10.1 (Amended and Restated Share Option Plan) and the Powers of Attorney in Exhibit 24.1.


PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference

The following sentence is added after the first sentence of the last paragraph in Item 3 (Incorporation of Documents by Reference) in the Registration Statement:

In addition, any report furnished by the Registrant on Form 6-K shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement if and to the extent that such report on Form 6-K so provides.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The following disclosure replaces Item 6 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers) in the Registration Statement in its entirety:

The Registrant’s Bylaws provide that a director or officer will not be liable for monetary damages incurred by the Registrant in the execution of the duties of his office or in relation thereto unless due to his failure to exercise the powers and to discharge the duties of his office honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Registrant and in connection therewith to exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

In addition, as permitted by the Ontario Business Corporations Act, the Registrant’s Bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers and any former directors or officers of the Registrant or persons who act or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or such body corporate, if,

(a) he or she acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Registrant; and

(b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, he or she had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

The Ontario Business Corporations Act also provides, and the Registrant’s Bylaws permit, that, with the approval of the court, such persons may also be indemnified by the Registrant in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Registrant or any such body corporate to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Registrant or such body corporate. Generally, any director or officer who is entitled to an indemnity may also be indemnified by the Registrant for all of his or her costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred in defending his or her position, if he or she was substantially successful in his or her defense and fulfills the conditions in clauses (a) and (b) above.

The Registrant maintains liability insurance for its directors and officers acting in their respective capacities in an aggregate amount of Cdn$20,000,000, subject to the following deductibles: (a) Cdn$250,000 per occurrence; (b) Cdn$250,000 for a loss due to a claim under applicable Canadian securities laws; and (c) $250,000 for a loss due to a claim under applicable U.S. securities laws. The premium paid by the Registrant in 2012 for this coverage was Cdn$155,530 for the period from November 1, 2012 to November 1, 2013. No amounts were paid by individual directors and officers for this coverage.

In addition, the Registrant has entered into separate Indemnity Agreements with each of its officers and directors, which Agreements provide for indemnification of the director or officer against certain judgments, penalties, fines and expenses incurred by each such officer or director in connection with certain threatened, pending or completed investigations, inquiries, hearings, actions or proceedings.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The above discussion of the Registrant’s Bylaws and Ontario law is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such Bylaws, the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Ontario Law.
