| Amendment Description | This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022 (the “Original Filing”) by Lightbridge Corporation (“Company,” “we,” or “us”). We are filing the Amendment to present the information required by Part III of Form 10-K as we do not anticipate filing our definitive proxy statement within 120 days of December 31, 2021. The reference on the cover page of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference of portions of the Company’s definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety. In addition, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing other than that described above. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Original Filing or amend, modify or otherwise update in any way the financial statements, consents or any other disclosures made in the Original Filing in any way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. | ||
