PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held on July 22, 2010

THE ANNUAL MEETING

General

            This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") of Uranium Energy Corp. ("we", "us", "our" or the "Company") for use in connection with our annual meeting of our stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on July 22, 2010, at 12:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) at Suite 1500, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, or at any adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

            In accordance with rules and regulations recently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we may now furnish proxy materials to our stockholders on the Internet. On or about June 8, 2010, the Company will mail to all stockholders of record, as of May 25, 2010 (the "Record Date"), a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice"). If you receive only a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials.

            Please carefully review the Notice for information on how to access our proxy materials, consisting of the notice of annual meeting, proxy statement and proxy card, on www.proxyvote.com. You may also access our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for our fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, including financial statements for such period. However, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, does not constitute any part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.

            The Notice also includes instructions as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet or over the telephone.

            If you receive only a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, including a proxy card, or a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice. There is no charge to you for requesting a paper copy of these documents.

            Our principal executive office is located at 500 N. Shoreline Blvd., Suite 800N, Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S.A, 78471.

Manner of Solicitation and Expenses

            Proxies will be solicited by us initially by mail. Further solicitation may be made by our directors, officers or regular employees, by telephone, facsimile or other acceptable manner. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. Upon request, we will also reimburse brokers, dealers, banks or similar entities acting as nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of our common stock as of the record date.


Record Date and Voting Shares

            Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on May 25, 2010, as the Record Date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date there were 60,733,334 shares of our common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each share of common stock held of record as of the Record Date. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Quorum

            A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of our stockholders. The required quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting is one-third of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date.

            In order to be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, shares must be present at the Annual Meeting either in person or represented by proxy. Shares that will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists will include:

            Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote such shares.

Entitlement to Vote

            If you are a registered holder of shares of our common stock as of May 25, 2010, the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, you may vote those shares of our common stock in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy in the manner described below under "Voting of Proxies". If you hold shares of our common stock in "street name" through a broker or other financial institution, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker or other financial institution regarding how to instruct your broker or financial institution in respect of voting your shares.

Voting of Proxies

            You can vote the shares that you own of record on the Record Date by either attending the Annual Meeting in person or by filling out and sending in a proxy in respect of the shares that you own. Your execution of a proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote in person. You may also submit your proxy on the Internet or over the telephone by following the instructions contained in the Notice.

            You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

- 2 -


(a)        filing a written notice of revocation of proxy with our corporate secretary at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting;

(b)        executing a later-dated proxy and delivering it to our corporate secretary at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting; or

(c)        attending at the Annual Meeting, giving affirmative notice that you intend to revoke your proxy and voting in person. Please note that your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke your proxy.

            All shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies received at or prior to the Annual Meeting that have not been revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder who has executed the proxy. If no choice is specified in a proxy, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted FOR all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. The shares represented by proxy will also be voted for or against such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting in the discretion of the persons named in the proxy as proxyholders. We are currently not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than those described herein.

            Any written revocation of a proxy or subsequent later-dated proxy should be delivered to the executive offices of the Company, located at 500 N. Shoreline Blvd., Suite 800N, Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S.A., 78471, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Votes Required

            Proposal One - Election of Directors: The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of our shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the election of our directors. This means that the nominees who receive the greatest number of votes for each open seat will be elected. Votes may be cast in favor of the election of directors or withheld. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of directors.

            Proposal Two - Appointment of Accountants: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accountants. Stockholders may vote in favor or against the proposal or they may abstain. Abstentions are deemed to be "votes cast" and will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote with respect to this proposal.

            Proposal Three - Amendment of 2009 Stock Incentive Plan: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for the approval of the amendment to the Company's amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. Stockholders may vote in favor or against this proposal or they may abstain. Abstentions are deemed to be "votes cast" and will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote with respect to this proposal.

Stockholder Proposals

            No proposals have been received from any stockholder for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

- 3 -


Other Matters

            It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in this proxy statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented, however, the persons named as proxyholders will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. The grant of a proxy also will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxyholders to vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

            This proxy solicitation is made on behalf of our Board of Directors. We will solicit proxies initially by mail. Further solicitation may be made by our directors, officers and employees personally, by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, Internet or otherwise, but they will not be specifically compensated for these services. Upon request, we will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks or similar entities acting as nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the Notice or any requested proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of our common stock they hold as of the Record Date. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with printing, filing and mailing of the Notice and this proxy statement.

(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has for shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement. As of May 25, 2010, there were 60,733,334 shares issued and outstanding.

Board Independence

            The Board of Directors has determined that Erik Essiger, Ivan Obolensky, Vincent Della Volpe and Mark A. Katsumata each qualify as independent directors under the listing standards of the NYSE AMEX Equities stock exchange (the "NYSE AMEX").

Committees of the Board of Directors

            Our Board of Directors currently has three board committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. These committees operate pursuant to charters adopted in respect of each committee; copies of which are posted on the Company's website at www.uraniumenergy.com

            The following sets forth information relating to the Company's board committees:

Audit Committee

            Our Audit Committee has been structured to comply with Rule 10A-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our Audit Committee is comprised of Ivan Obolensky, Vincent Della Volpe and Mark A. Katsumata, all of whom qualify as independent directors under NYSE AMEX rules. Mr. Katsumata is the Chairman of the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors has determined that he satisfies the criteria for an audit committee financial expert under applicable SEC rules. Each Audit Committee member is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company's consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

            The Audit Committee meets with management and our external auditors to review matters affecting the Company's financial reporting, the system of internal accounting and financial controls and procedures and audit procedures and audit plans. The Audit Committee reviews significant financial risks, is involved in the appointment of senior financial executives and annually reviews our insurance coverage and any off balance sheet transactions.

            The Audit Committee is mandated to monitor our Company's audit and the preparation of financial statements and to review and recommend to the Board of Directors all financial disclosure contained in our company's public documents. The Audit Committee is also mandated to appoint external auditors, monitor their qualifications and independence and determine the appropriate level of their remuneration. The external auditors report directly to the Audit Committee and to the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors each have the authority to terminate the external auditor's engagement (subject to confirmation by our stockholders). The Audit Committee also approves in advance any permitted services to be provided by the external auditors which are not related to the audit.

            We will provide appropriate funding as determined by the Audit Committee to permit the Audit Committee to perform its duties and to compensate its advisors. The Audit Committee, at its discretion, has the authority to initiate special investigations and, if appropriate, hire special legal, accounting or other outside advisors or experts to assist the Audit Committee to fulfill its duties.

- 11 -


            The Audit Committee discharged its mandate in respect of the financial period ended July 31, 2009, including the review and recommendation to the board of all financial disclosure contained in our company's public documents. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the period ended July 31, 2009, and also acted through the adoption of written consent resolutions as permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Company's Bylaws.

Report of the Audit Committee

            The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2009, with the Company's management. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young LLP's communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence. The Audit Committee considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors' independence. Based on the discussions and reviews referenced above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2009, be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the period ended July 31, 2009. The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for fiscal 2010.

            The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee identifies individuals believed to be qualified to become board members and recommends individuals to fill vacancies. There are no minimum qualifications for consideration for nomination to be a director of the Company. The Committee assesses all nominees using generally the same criteria. In nominating candidates, the Committee takes into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate, including judgment, experience, skills and personal character, as well as the needs of the Company. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers nominees recommended by stockholders if such recommendations are made in writing to the Committee and evaluates nominees for election in the same manner whether the nominee has been recommended by a stockholder or otherwise. To recommend a nominee, please write to the Company's Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee c/o Uranium Energy Corp., Attn: Corporate Secretary, at 500 N.

Lindsay, $15,692 to Erik Essiger, $10,167 to Ivan Obolensky, and $7,025 to Vincent Della Volpe) and recorded $2,019,250 in stock based compensation for the fair value of options granted to directors and officers during the period ($407,500 to Amir Adnani, $407,500 to Harry L.

            All related party transactions involving provision of services or tangible assets were recorded at the exchange amount, which is the value established and agreed to by the related parties reflecting arms length consideration payable for similar services or transfers.

            Amir Adnani and Alan P. Lindsay are the founders, and may be considered promoters, of the Company. Messrs Adnani and Lindsay were issued an aggregate of 1,575,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.0013 per share for total proceeds of $2,100 at the time of the organization of the Company. Neither of Messrs. Adnani nor Lindsay have received anything of value from the Company in their capacities as promoters of the Company.

            Amounts owing to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and without specific terms of repayment.

Conflicts of Interest

            To our knowledge, and other than as disclosed in this proxy statement, there are currently no known existing or potential conflicts of interest among us, our promoters, directors and officers, or other members of management, or any proposed director, officer or other member of management as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of the directors and officers serve as directors and officers of other companies, and therefore it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to us and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

            Section 16(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and our other equity securities with the SEC. Based on our review of the reports furnished to us by our officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders, we believe that all such reports were timely filed during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009.

- 16 -


Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

            Amir Adnani serves as our Chief Executive Officer while Alan P. Lindsay serves as the Chairman of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors takes an active role in risk oversight of our Company. Our executive officers report any significant risks that come to their attention to our Board of Directors. Our Audit Committee reviews significant financial risks and reports them to the Board of Directors as well.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

            The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing and administering the Company's executive and director compensation.

            The Compensation Committee's compensation objective is designed to attract and retain the best available talent while efficiently utilizing available resources. The Committee compensates executive management primarily through base salary and equity compensation designed to be competitive with comparable companies, and to align management's compensation with the long-term interests of shareholders. In determining an executive management's compensation, the Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the financial condition of the Company and discussions with the executive.

            In determining the compensation for Amir Adnani, Harry L. Anthony and Pat Obara, the Compensation Committee considered compensation paid to other executive officers of other companies within the industry, the executive's performance in meeting goals, and the complexity of the management position and the experience of the person. Of the amount of the compensation paid to the executive officer, the majority of the compensation was in the form of options. The number of options granted was determined in large part due to the financial condition of the Company which currently has no revenues. The Compensation Committee did not have a specific formula to determine the amount of the executive compensation and what portion of such compensation would be in the form of cash and equity securities. Therefore, the determination of an executive salary including the amount of cash and equity securities may be considered arbitrary taking into account the foregoing factors.

            Similarly, directors receive cash compensation for their service as such, as well as options. The number of options granted to each director is based on the experience of the director, time spent on Company matters and the compensation paid to other directors of companies in the industry.

            Due to the economic downturn in late 2008 and 2009, all director and officer cash compensation amounts were voluntarily reduced by 20% effective January 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009.

Compensation Committee Report

            The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing compensation discussion and analysis with management. Based on that review and those discussions, the committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the compensation discussion and analysis be included in this proxy statement. This report is provided by the following independent directors, who comprise the committee:

(1) Alan P. Lindsay received monthly fees through July 31, 2009, for the provision of various management consulting services provided by Mr. Lindsay to us on a monthly basis and from time to time.

(2) This amount represents the fair value of options at the date of grant or repriced during the year, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 10 to our financial statements contained herein. The option expense incurred for Mr. Katsumata during the year was the fair value of options awarded to him upon his becoming a member of our Board of Directors.  Comparatively, the option expense incurred for the other directors during the year was the fair value of options repriced on December 19, 2008.

(3) As of July 31, 2009 our directors held options to acquire an aggregate of 2,852,500 shares of our common stock: Alan P. Lindsay 850,000 options, Amir Adnani 677,500 options, Harry L. Anthony 850,000 options, Erik Essiger 150,000 options, Ivan Obolensky 100,000 options, Vincent Della Volpe 150,000 options, and Mark Katsumata 75,000 options.

            Alan P. Lindsay serves as the Company's Chairman and director and is retained accordingly on a yearly basis. Mr. Lindsay is compensated on a monthly basis at a rate of $6,000 per month. Due to the economic downturn in late 2008 and 2009, all director and officer cash compensation amounts were voluntarily reduced by 20% effective January 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009, such that the monthly amount paid to Mr. Lindsay from January 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009 was $4,800 per month.

            Amir Adnani serves as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, President and as a director, and Harry L. Anthony serves as the Company's Chief Operating Officer and a director. Messrs Adnani and Anthony are retained according to their Executive Services Agreements and their compensation for serving as executive officers of the Company is disclosed above in the "Summary Compensation Table." As shown in the Director Compensation Table above, Messrs Adnani and Anthony do not receive additional compensation in connection with their service as directors of the Company.

- 20 -


            Erik Essiger, Ivan Obolensky, Vincent Della Volpe and Mark Katsumata are independent directors of the Company. Mr. Essiger serves as Chairman of the Company's Compensation Committee and Mr. Katsumata serves as Chairman of the Company's Audit Committee. The independent directors are retained on a yearly basis for their service and are paid quarterly based on their annual retainer fees, which are as follows:

  • Erik Essiger (Euro 20,000 per year);
  • Ivan Obolensky (US$20,000 per year);
  • Vincent Della Volpe (US$20,000 per year); and
  • Mark Katsumata (Cdn$25,000 per year).

            The amounts listed above are all-inclusive retainer fees; there are no additional committee and/or chairmanship fees or meeting attendance fees above and beyond such annual retainer fees. As indicated above, due to the economic downturn in late 2008 and 2009, all director and officer cash compensation amounts were voluntarily reduced by 20% effective January 1, 2009 through July 31, 2009; as such, the quarterly payments to each of these independent directors was reduced by 20% from January 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009.

            In addition to such retainers, from time to time directors may receive bonus payments or options, which are granted on a discretionary basis. The amount of any bonus payments or the number of options granted is based on the experience of the director, time spent on Company matters and the compensation paid to other directors of companies in the industry.

            Standard retainer amounts paid to directors, as well as any bonus payments or options, are determined by the Company's Compensation Committee and ratified by the Board of Directors.

            The following table sets forth information relating to compensation paid to our directors in the year ended July 31, 2008:

PROPOSAL NUMBER THREE:

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 2009 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Amendment to 2009 Stock Incentive Plan

            We propose that the Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved by our shareholder's at our Annual General Meeting in July of last year, be amended to increase the number of shares issuable under such plan from 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock.

Summary of Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan

            On June 5, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption of the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, which was ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the Company's annual general meeting held on July 23, 2009. Effective on May 25, 2010, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan in order to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan from 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock. No other provisions of the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan were amended (the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as so amended to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder from 5,000,000 shares to 7,000,000 shares, being the "Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan"). The Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan is in addition to, and in no manner either alters, amends or is in substitution for the Company's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, dated as originally ratified by the Board of Directors of the Company on October 10, 2006, as ratified by the shareholders of the Company at the Company's annual general meeting held on July 24, 2008.

            The purpose of the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service.

            The Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan is to be administered by our Compensation Committee which shall determine, among other things: (i) the persons to be granted awards under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares or amount of other awards to be granted; and (iii) the terms and conditions of the awards granted. The Company may issue restricted shares, options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock rights and dividend equivalent rights, among others, under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. An aggregate of 7,000,000 of our shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of awards under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan.

            An award may not be exercised after the termination date of the award and may be exercised following the termination of an eligible participant's continuous service only to the extent provided by the administrator under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. If the administrator under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan permits a participant to exercise an award following the termination of continuous service for a specified period, the award terminates to the extent not exercised on the last day of the specified period or the last day of the original term of the award, whichever occurs first. In the event an eligible participant's service has been terminated for "cause", he or she shall immediately forfeit all rights to any of the awards outstanding.

- 26 -


Federal Income Tax Consequences

            The United States federal income tax consequences to the Company and its eligible participants under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan are complex and subject to change. The following discussion is a summary of the general rules applicable to awards granted under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan to an eligible participant who performs services within the United States or is a United States citizen or resident. The tax consequences may be affected by various income tax treaties. Eligible participants under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan should consult their own tax advisors since a taxpayer's particular situation may be such that some variation of the rules described below will apply.

            The Company has been advised that, based on the current provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), the federal income tax consequences of the grant, vesting and exercise of awards under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and the subsequent disposition of shares of common stock acquired under the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, are as described below. The following discussion addresses only the general federal income tax consequences of awards. Eligible participants in the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the impact of federal, state and local taxes, the federal alternative minimum tax, and securities laws restrictions, given their individual situations. It is intended that the underlying benefits that are required to be treated as deferred compensation to which Code section 409A is applicable, will comply with statute and the underlying agency guidance interpreting that section.

            In the case of an exercise of a non-qualified stock option or SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price (or SAR grant price) and the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the exercise date. Likewise, in the case of a common law employer-employee relationship, any amount recognized as ordinary income for income tax purposes will be also recognized as wages for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act ("FUTA") purposes. This will require reporting and payment of Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance ("OASDI"), assuming the FICA-OASDI taxable wage base has not been exceeded for the year of exercise, and Hospital Insurance. For awards, other than incentive stock options issued to non-employees, the income from the exercise of the grant will be taxable as self-employment income and will therefore be subject to both federal and state income taxes as well as self-employment taxes to the individual.

            In the case of an incentive stock option, there is no tax liability at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the exercise date over the option exercise price is included in the eligible participant's income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If no disposition of the incentive stock option stock is made before the later of one year from the date of exercise or two years from the date the incentive stock option is granted, the eligible participant will realize a long-term capital gain or loss upon a sale of the stock equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the sale price. If the stock is not held for the required period, it is considered to be a "disqualifying disposition," and ordinary income tax treatment will generally apply to the amount of any gain at sale or exercise, whichever is less, and the balance of any gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss (long- term or short-term, depending on whether the shares have been held for more than one year). In an employer-employee relationship, if the stock received through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is held for the required period, and there is no disqualifying disposition, FICA and FUTA taxes will not apply. In an employer-employee relationship, if the stock received through the exercise of an incentive stock option is not held for the required period (a disqualifying disposition), the FICA and FUTA taxes will apply to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the exercise date.

- 27 -


            In the case of an award of restricted stock, the immediate federal income tax effect for the recipient will depend on the nature of the restrictions. Generally, the value of the Company's common stock will not be taxable to the recipient as ordinary income until the year in which his or her interest in the stock is freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. However, the recipient may elect to recognize income when the stock is received, rather than when his or her interest in the stock is freely transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. If the recipient makes this election, the amount taxed to the recipient as ordinary income is determined as of the date of receipt of the restricted stock.

            In the case of all other awards, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the value of the common stock received by the participant at the time of distribution, or if later, when such shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. To the extent that such an award is considered as an award of deferred compensation, it will be likely, under application of the "special timing rule," that its present value will be treated for employment tax purposes as wages and FICA and FUTA will be assessed at the later of the date of the performance of services or the elimination of a substantial risk of forfeiture for entitlement to the benefit.

            The Company will generally be allowed an income tax deduction simultaneous with, and equal to, the ordinary income recognized by the participant. The Company does not receive an income tax deduction as a result of the exercise of an incentive stock option, provided that the incentive stock option stock is held for the required period as described above.

            The Company may not deduct compensation of more that $1,000,000 that is paid in a taxable year to certain "covered employees" as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code. The deduction limit, however, does not apply to certain types of compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation. The Company believes that compensation attributable to stock options granted under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan is qualified performance-based compensation and therefore not subject to the deduction limit.

            The last reported sales price for our shares of common stock on NYSE AMEX on May 25, 2010, was $2.45 per share.

Information Regarding Plans Not Subject to Security Holder Action

            We have two equity compensation plans, the Uranium Energy Corp. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan") and the Uranium Energy Corp. Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. We are seeking shareholder approval of an amendment to the Amended 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as described above.
