determining the corporation's direction and character by approving its vision, mission and value statements and making decisions which set the tone and direction for the company; and

Election of Directors
Each director is elected individually by the shareholders each year at the annual meeting, provided the board may, in accordance with the articles of the corporation, appoint additional directors, from time to time, between annual shareholder meetings who will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

In an uncontested election, any nominee for director who receives more "withheld" votes than "for" votes will tender his or her resignation for consideration by the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee. The nominating, corporate governance and risk committee will review the matter and make a recommendation to the board whether to accept the director's resignation. The board will publicly disclose its decision to accept or reject the resignation within 90 days of the shareholders' meeting, including the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable. The director who has tendered his or her resignation pursuant to this policy will not participate in any deliberations of the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee or the board regarding the resignation. If a resignation is accepted, the board may appoint a new director to fill the vacancy created thereby.

Cameco's nominating, corporate governance and risk committee annually assesses the size of the board and its composition to determine whether it has all the necessary constituents for effective decision making. In accordance with the articles of incorporation, the board shall not exceed 15 members.

The board will have a non-executive, independent director as chair.

The nominating, corporate governance and risk committee is responsible for maintaining a board succession plan that is responsive to the corporation's needs and the interests of shareholders. It is also responsible for maintaining a matrix of director talent and board requirements in order to identify possible skill gaps on the board.

The board does not believe it should establish term limits. While term limits could help ensure that there are fresh ideas and viewpoints available to the board, they hold the disadvantage of losing the contribution of directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight into the corporation and its operations and, therefore, provide an increasing contribution to the board as a whole.

The retirement age for board members is 72 years, which limit can be extended at the discretion of the board. If a director reaches 72 years of age and the limit has not been extended, the board will not nominate that director for election at the upcoming annual shareholders' meeting.

The share ownership guidelines established by the board call for each director to own and maintain during his or her term on the board, common shares of Cameco Corporation or deferred share units equal in value to three times his or her annual retainer within five years of joining the board. Directors who were on the board for less than five years as of July 1, 2010 will have seven years from appointment to achieve the guidelines. New directors joining the board after July 1, 2010 will have five years from appointment to achieve the guidelines. The common shares and deferred share units in each director's qualifying holdings shall be valued at the greater of the purchase price/issuance price and market price.

The share ownership guidelines require that within five years of appointment to an executive position each executive is to own and maintain while he or she is an executive, common shares of Cameco Corporation and unvested performance share units equal in value to the following amount:

(i) Chief Executive Officer – four times base salary
(ii) President – three times base salary
(iii) Senior Vice-Presidents – two times base salary
(iv) Vice-Presidents – one times base salary

At least fifty percent of the executive's qualifying holdings must be common shares. The value of the unvested performance share units shall be calculated assuming eighty percent achievement of target, net of tax. The common shares in each executive's qualifying holdings shall be valued at the greater of the purchase price and market price.

In addition, if an executive's share ownership requirement is increased due to the executive being transferred or promoted, the executive's initial obligation to acquire the stipulated amount within five years of his or her initial appointment continues, but the executive will have an additional three-year period from the date of transfer or promotion, to meet the additional share ownership requirement.

The primary responsibility of individual directors is to act in good faith and to exercise their business judgment in what they reasonably believe to be the best interests of the corporation. In order to fulfill this responsibility, each director is expected to:

Each director is expected to attend all meetings of the board and any committee of which he or she is a member, and the annual meeting of shareholders. A director who is unable to attend a board or committee meeting in person may participate by telephone or teleconference.

Management is responsible for development of a strategic plan which is presented annually to the board for approval. At least once a year, the board holds a special meeting to specifically discuss strategic planning and strategic issues. In its deliberations, the board also discusses and assesses the principal risks of Cameco's business.

The nominating, corporate governance and risk committee ensures Cameco has an effective enterprise risk management system. Through its enterprise risk management system, management reports on the policies and processes by which management manages the principal business risks facing Cameco to the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee and the board. The board receives reports on strategic business risks. Also, the reserves oversight committee, audit and finance committee, safety, health and environment committee, human resources and compensation committee and nominating, corporate governance and risk committee each monitor those risks associated with their areas of oversight.

The board has adopted a position description for the chair of the board, which sets out the duties and responsibilities of the chair of the board. This position description (attached as Appendix B to these guidelines) will be reviewed from time to time.

Directors have access to members of management and are encouraged to raise any questions or concerns directly with management. The board and its committees may invite any member of management, outside advisor or other person to attend any of their meetings.

The board and any of its committees may retain an outside advisor at the expense of the corporation at any time and have the authority to determine the advisor's fees and other retention terms. Individual directors may retain an outside advisor at the expense of the corporation with the approval of the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee or the chair of the board.

A director's manual is provided to all directors, which is updated from time to time. New board members attend a formal directors' orientation program. There is an annual site visit to a Cameco-operated facility or other nuclear facility for all directors. Board members are encouraged to annually attend a seminar or conference on pertinent topics at the corporation's expense. The nominating, corporate governance and risk committee is responsible for confirming that a board education program (attached as Appendix D to these guidelines) is in place and resources are made available to provide an orientation program for new directors and appropriate continuing education opportunities for all directors.

Annually, the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee reviews the effectiveness of the board, its chair and committees and individual directors through the use of a confidential survey, including a self-assessment, completed by each member. The results of the surveys are subsequently discussed by the board. The chair of the committee, through annual interviews with each director, provides directors with an opportunity to discuss any matters relating to their peers' performance or other aspects of the functioning of the board. The committee, through the survey and interviews, assesses the operation of the board and the committees, the adequacy of information given to directors, communication between the board and management, the effectiveness of the processes of the board and committees, and the effectiveness of the board and individual directors. The committee recommends to the board any changes needed to enhance performance based upon this assessment process. In addition, the members of each board committee self-assess the effectiveness of their committee and its chair by completing a confidential survey. The survey is reviewed by the chair of each respective committee and reported to the board as to committee effectiveness. The effectiveness of the chair of each committee is reviewed by the board chair annually and reported to the board.

Due to the substantially increased demands on directors of public companies, a director who is also a chief executive officer of a public company should not serve concurrently on the boards of more than two other public companies in addition to the board of the company employing the chief executive officer, and other directors should not serve concurrently on the boards of more than four public companies in addition to the corporation's board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director may serve on more boards than the stipulated amount for an interim period where such director has stated his or her intention to resign or not stand for re-election for one or more of such other public companies, such that the director shall be in compliance with this provision no later than the next annual general meeting or meetings of such other public company or companies. It is expected that a director will apprise the board chair and the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee chair of a proposed acceptance of a directorship on an additional public company in order to provide an opportunity for the board chair and committee chair to be satisfied that the director is in compliance with this guideline and no real or apparent conflict of interest would result.

Directors will not sit on boards of corporations competing with Cameco nor be members of organizations or groups adverse in interest to Cameco without the permission of the board. In addition, Cameco's chief executive officer will not sit on a board of another public company without the consent of the board of directors of Cameco.

Directors are to promptly report all actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest to the corporate secretary. The corporate secretary will bring the situation to the attention of the nominating, corporate governance and risk committee for review and recommendation to the board. Directors do not participate in committee or board discussions or decisions related to their own possible conflicts.

Any transactions between Cameco and its officers or directors, other than routine transactions and situations arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, will be brought to the board of directors for approval on the recommendation of the audit and finance committee.

When a director's principal occupation or business association changes substantially from the position he or she held when originally invited to join the board, the director shall promptly offer his or her resignation to the board chair. The nominating, corporate governance and risk committee will consider the change in circumstance and recommend to the board whether the resignation should be accepted.

Interested parties may contact the board chair and other independent directors as a group by mailing (by regular mail or other means of delivery) to the corporate head office at 2121 11th St. W., Saskatoon, SK S7M 1J3, Canada, a sealed envelope marked "Private and Strictly Confidential – Attention: Chair of the Board of Directors of Cameco Corporation." Any such envelope shall be delivered unopened to the board chair.

The board believes it is important to have constructive engagement with the company's shareholders to discuss significant governance issues that shareholders wish to raise with the board and to allow and encourage shareholders to express their views on such governance matters to the board. These discussions are intended to be an interchange of views about governance and disclosure matters that are within the public domain and will not include a discussion of undisclosed material facts or material changes.

The board will establish engagement practices from time to time based on the shareholders' needs and developing governance practices. The board's current practices include: meeting with significant shareholders and organizations representing a group of significant shareholders upon request; holding a periodic advisory say on pay vote; communicating to shareholders through clear and transparent disclosure; and providing shareholders the ability to contact the board chair, the independent directors as a group, the audit chair and the chair of the human resources and compensation committee by writing them at the corporate office.

The board recognizes that shareholder engagement is an evolving practice in Canada and globally and will review this position periodically to ensure that it is effective in achieving its objectives.

The board has adopted a position description for the chief executive officer of the corporation, which sets out the duties and responsibilities of the chief executive officer. This position description (attached as Appendix C to these guidelines) will be reviewed from time to time.

The human resources and compensation committee annually reviews the corporation's succession plan. As well, annually the board receives a formal presentation of the succession plan. The committee also ensures that processes are in place for the development of leaders at Cameco for management succession. The board creates opportunities for directors to become acquainted with employees who have the potential to become members of senior management. Such opportunities may include presentations to the board by these employees or interaction with them on social occasions.

All compensation policies and programs for Cameco executive officers (including chief executive officer and senior vice-presidents) are reviewed by the human resources and compensation committee and recommended to the board for approval. The compensation policies and programs link executive compensation to corporate performance and the creation of sustained shareholder value. The committee conducts an annual risk assessment of Cameco's compensation program. The committee reviews the annual performance of the chief executive officer and performance assessments of the senior vice-presidents provided by the chief executive officer, all in light of the corporation's performance, then recommends compensation awards for the chief executive officer and senior vice-presidents to the board for approval. The committee also recommends to the board for approval the corporate annual goals and objectives which become the chief executive officer's specific annual goals and objectives. In conducting management evaluation and determining management compensation, the human resources and compensation committee will retain outside advisors independent of management, as necessary.

Cameco updated its recoupment policy effective January 1, 2013. It applies to all current executive officers and those who become executive officers after this date. The former clawback policy, in effect since 2003, continues to apply to incentive compensation awarded to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer before the effective date of the new policy.

The new policy applies to any incentive compensation, including annual bonus, performance share units and stock options granted or received. Under the policy, if all three of the following events occur the incentive compensation of the executive at fault can be recouped:

In the event that these three events occur, the board and the human resources and compensation committee will decide when and how the policy will apply. All incentive compensation granted or received by the executive at fault during the years subject to the restatement that is in excess of the compensation that would have been computed based on the restated results, is subject to recoupment.
