Peninsula Energy Cuts Debt as Lender Partially Converts Uranium Project Loan to Equity

Peninsula Energy ( (AU:PEN) ) has provided an update.

Peninsula Energy has announced that lender Adare Finance DAC, an affiliate of Davidson Kempner, has partially converted US$4.1 million of its existing Convertible Loan Facility into equity, resulting in the issue of 19,760,633 new shares. This transaction reduces Peninsula’s outstanding debt under the facility to US$4.2 million and the conversion price of A$0.30 per share reflects the company’s most recent equity raising valuation.

The Convertible Loan Facility, established in July 2025 as part of a broader funding package with global investment manager Davidson Kempner, is designed to support the restart of Peninsula’s Lance Uranium Project and implementation of its Reset Plan. The partial conversion eases the company’s debt burden while reinforcing the funding framework underpinning the ramp-up of uranium production at Lance, which is central to Peninsula’s strategy to solidify its position as a significant independent U.S. uranium producer.

By shifting a portion of its financing from debt to equity, Peninsula improves balance sheet flexibility as it continues to scale operations at Lance under a revised production and operational plan. The move may be seen by stakeholders as a sign of confidence from the lender in the project’s progress and Peninsula’s ability to advance toward full-scale yellowcake production, supporting its long-term role in the domestic uranium supply chain.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PEN) stock is a Sell with a A$0.53 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Peninsula Energy stock, see the AU:PEN Stock Forecast page.

More about Peninsula Energy

Peninsula Energy Limited is an ASX-listed uranium company focused on developing a long-term uranium production business around its 100%-owned Lance Uranium Operation in Wyoming, U.S. The Lance Project, one of the largest independent uranium projects in the country, recommenced production of dried yellowcake in September 2025 and is ramping up under a revised low-pH operational plan that aims to position Peninsula as a key domestic supplier in a supportive U.S. jurisdiction.

Once Lance returns to full production, Peninsula expects to operate as a fully independent end-to-end producer of yellowcake, enhancing its strategic role in the U.S. nuclear fuel supply chain. The company’s focus on optimised wellfield design and production sequencing is intended to improve operational efficiency and support its ambition to contribute to a cleaner energy future through reliable uranium supply.

Peninsula’s market positioning leverages growing interest in energy security and low-carbon power, with its U.S.-based asset offering potential advantages amid efforts to bolster domestic uranium production. Its development strategy at Lance, including the progressive deployment of low-pH in-situ recovery, underpins its long-term growth plans in the global uranium sector.
