Peer group, and who names UR-Energy as a peer

Companies that benchmark against URG

2 companies name URG as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses URG in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named URG in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Disclosed peer group — fiscal year 2025

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.

Peer reciprocity

The companies UR-Energy names as compensation peers that name it back in their own disclosed peer groups.
