Its constituents include Cameco Corporation, Kazatomprom, BHP Group, NexGen Energy, Centrus Energy, Oklo Inc., NuScale Power, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Lightbridge&#8217;s addition places the Company inside the benchmark that investors use to obtain broad passive exposure to the global nuclear sector.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cInclusion in this benchmark places Lightbridge among reactor developers and companies that define the global nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium producers to enrichers. That is the right peer set for a company whose work sits at the center of that cycle: the fuel itself. It also means investors can gain exposure to Lightbridge through their existing sector allocations rather than having to find us on their own,\u201d said Seth Grae, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightbridge Corporation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The addition was made in connection with the index&#8217;s ordinary adjustment, announced by Solactive AG on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=CChAn--jlRQw1FZKZXkmd14a2gY0ozX-7XwDGIn7aXUKL-FpTTpQ8cSXD26bN9MDIGH_5q8iQphm17PS_ogrk8RCF8tdjZqPgqih-F18B6LrcDxBIa40XMv5rERnqC02\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">July 27, 2026<\/a>, with the revised composition taking effect at the open on August 3, 2026. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Og_7tG-uV8DS51VdawT8W_2Z1zcy2gZOIvsaILPz6CSqgN879ZVFLDDzrxp2zNytDJce9SfahtOsp0kbnoU2n6szewYyeDJx3AKOwkizZyQ=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Solactive AG<\/a>, headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, is an independent index provider whose benchmarks serve as the basis for exchange-traded funds and other investment products worldwide.
