The Board of Directors (the "Board"), on recommendation of the Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee (after detailed review), approved the individuals nominated to shareholders for election to serve as directors of the Board and is confident of their suitability to serve on the Board and its Committees. The Company was advised that proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") recommended a "withhold" vote against Mr. Hochstein, which is believed to have impacted the voting results at the Meeting. According to their reporting, ISS has taken the position that Mr. Hochstein is not independent due to his prior role as CEO of the Company 7 years ago. Mr. Hochstein has served as President and CEO of Lundin Gold Inc. since 2014, resigning as CEO of the Company in March 2015. It is the position of the Board that Mr. Hochstein's prior executive positions with Denison do not interfere with his ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of Denison's Board and that Mr. Hochstein is a highly valued member of the Board, providing the Company with the benefit of his many years of experience in governance and mining (including uranium exploration and mining operations).

The Company has provided more details on the results of all matters considered at the Meeting in its Report of Voting Results which has been filed under its profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and will be filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
