QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

The following matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting:
 	 	
•	Proposal 1: To elect the nine director nominees for a term of one year;	
 	 	
•	Proposal 2: Advisory vote to approve executive compensation;	
 	 	
•	Proposal 3: Ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Centrus’ independent auditors for 2016; and	
 	 	
•	Such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments thereof.	

How does the board of directors recommend that I vote?

The board of directors recommends that you vote:
 	 	
•	FOR the election of the nine director nominees for a term of one year;	
 	 	
•	FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Company’s executive compensation; and	
 	 	
•	FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Centrus’ independent auditors for 2016.	

Who may vote at the meeting?

Holders of Centrus common stock at the close of business on the record date of March 18, 2016 may vote at the meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock you held on the record date, including shares:

1

 	 	
•	held directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, as a “stockholder of record;” and	
 	 	
•	held for you in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee (shares held in “street name” for a “beneficial owner”).	

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

A majority of Centrus’ outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date, March 18, 2016, must be present at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. On the record date, there were 7,563,600 shares of Centrus common stock outstanding, each entitled to one vote. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you are present and vote in person at the meeting or have properly submitted a proxy card or voting instructions prior to the meeting.

What is the required vote for each proposal?
 	 	
•	Proposal 1 - Election of Directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.	
 	 	
•	Proposal 2 - Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation. The advisory vote on executive compensation requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote thereat. Each stockholder represented at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder.	
 	 	
•	Proposal 3 - Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors. The ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote thereat. Each stockholder represented at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder.	

What are broker non-votes?

Banks, brokers, or nominees who hold shares for a beneficial owner have the discretion to vote on routine proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the annual meeting. Proposal 3 is a routine matter on which brokers may vote in this way. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular matter because it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary voting power for that particular matter. Proposals 1 and 2 are non-routine matters.

What is the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes?

Both abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the annual meeting. An abstention will have no effect on the election of directors but will have the same legal effect as a vote against Proposals 2 and 3. Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote with respect to a particular proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not impact the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals.

How do I vote my shares?

You may vote using any of the following methods:

Stockholders of Record
 	 	
•	By Mail. If you are a stockholder of record, be sure to complete, sign and date the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement and return it in the prepaid envelope. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example as guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), you should indicate your name and title or capacity. If you are a stockholder of record and you return your signed proxy card but do not indicate your voting preferences, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will vote the shares represented by that proxy as recommended by the Board.	

2

 	 	
•	By telephone or over the Internet.  You can vote by calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card or Notice Regarding Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and following the voice prompts that you hear during the call. By following the voice prompts, you may vote your shares and confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. The website for Internet voting is provided on your proxy card or Notice Regarding Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. As with telephone voting, you can confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. A control number, located on the proxy card or Notice Regarding Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, is designed to verify your identity and allow you to vote your shares. Telephone and Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day. Proxies submitted by telephone or the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 11, 2016. If you vote by telephone or on the Internet, you should not separately return your proxy card or voting instruction card.	

•	In person at the annual meeting. If you choose to vote at the annual meeting, you may vote by the ballot provided at the meeting. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, we encourage you to vote by completing, signing, dating, and returning the proxy card or by voting using the Internet or telephone so your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting. If you plan to attend in person, please check the box on your proxy card. If you decide to change your vote at the meeting, you may do so by voting in person at the meeting. If you have questions regarding admission or directions to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, please call (301) 564-3460.	

Beneficial Owners

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, be sure to complete, sign and return the voting instruction card received from your broker, bank or other nominee. The availability of telephone and Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting processes of your broker, bank or other nominee. Therefore, we recommend that you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive. Shares held beneficially may be voted at the annual meeting only if you obtain and bring with you to the annual meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee showing you were a beneficial holder on March 18, 2016.

What if I do not specify a choice for a matter when returning a proxy?

Stockholders should specify their choice for each matter on the proxy card. If you just sign and submit your proxy card without marking your vote, your shares will be voted:
 	 	
•	FOR the election of the nine director nominees for a term of one year;	
 	 	
•	FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Company’s executive compensation; and	
 	 	
•	FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Centrus’ independent auditors for 2016.	

May I revoke my proxy and change my vote?

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the annual meeting by:
 	 	
•	submitting a properly executed proxy card with a later date, which proxy card is received prior to the date of the annual meeting;	
 	 	
•	delivering to the Secretary of Centrus, prior to the date of the annual meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy; 	
 	 	
•	voting in person at the annual meeting; or	
 	 	
•	only in the event you submitted your vote by telephone or over the Internet, calling the toll-free telephone number or visiting the website provided on your proxy card or Notice Regarding Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 11, 2016.

How are proxies solicited and what are the costs?

This proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Centrus. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by Centrus. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail and via Internet, we may also solicit proxies through our directors, officers, and employees. They will not receive additional compensation for these activities. We will also request persons, firms, and corporations holding shares in their names or in the name of nominees that are beneficially owned by others to send proxy materials to and obtain proxies from those beneficial owners and will reimburse the holders for their reasonable expenses in doing so.

What is householding?

To reduce costs, Centrus utilizes the householding rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that permit the delivery of one set of proxy materials to stockholders who have the same address to achieve the benefit of reduced printing and mailing costs. Stockholders residing at a shared address will continue to receive separate proxy cards. If you wish to receive a separate set of materials, please write or call as specified below, and we will promptly mail them to you at no charge. If a broker, or other nominee, holds your shares, please contact your broker or nominee directly.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC, excluding exhibits, is provided with this proxy statement and both documents are available under the “Investor Relations-SEC Filings” section of our website at www.centrusenergy.com. Stockholders may obtain a copy of the exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K by contacting us by mail at the following address: (i) if prior to April 29, 2016, Centrus Energy Corp., 6903 Rockledge Drive, Suite 400, Bethesda, Maryland 20817, Attention: Investor Relations or (ii) if on or after April 29, 2016, Centrus Energy Corp., 6901 Rockledge Drive, Suite 800, Bethesda, Maryland 20817, Attention: Investor Relations or by telephone at (301) 564-3460. Shareholders also may access a copy of our Form 10-K, including exhibits, on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov.

How can I find out the results of the annual meeting?

Preliminary results will be announced at the annual meeting. Final results also will be published in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the annual meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Governance Information

Our Governance Guidelines

The Board has adopted Governance Guidelines, which serve as principles addressing the role of the Board of Directors in the areas of fiduciary oversight, independence, evaluation of the chief executive officer, and succession planning. The Governance Guidelines also set standards relating to the composition and operation of the Board and its committees, including standards relating to the selection and qualification of directors, evaluation of the Board and its committees, and director education. The Governance Guidelines are administered by the Board’s Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee (“CN&G Committee”), which regularly reviews director criteria and qualifications, and leads the performance assessments of the Board and its Committees. The Board annually assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its Governance Guidelines. Copies of the current Governance Guidelines are available on our website at  www.centrusenergy.com  under “Corporate Governance” or upon written request, addressed to the Secretary at the following address: (i) if prior to April 29, 2016, the Secretary, Centrus Energy Corp., 6903 Rockledge Drive, Suite 400, Bethesda, Maryland 20817 or (ii) if on or after April 29, 2016, the Secretary, Centrus Energy Corp., 6901 Rockledge Drive, Suite 800, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.

Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors

Our Governance Guidelines contemplate that non-management directors meet regularly in executive session. During 2015, the non-management directors met without management at regularly scheduled executive sessions, and Mikel H. Williams, current Chairman, presided at these executive sessions.

Communications with the Board of Directors

The Board has an established process to receive communications from stockholders and other interested parties. This process has been approved by a majority of the independent directors. Stockholders and other interested parties may contact the Board, the presiding director for executive sessions of the non-management directors, or the non-management directors as a group, by mail or electronically. Communications by mail should be addressed to such recipient or recipients in care of Centrus’ Secretary at the following addresses: (i) if prior to April 29, 2016 then to c/o Secretary, Centrus Energy Corp., 6903 Rockledge Drive, Suite 400, Bethesda, Maryland 20817 or (ii) if on or after April 29, 2016 then to c/o Secretary, Centrus Energy Corp., 6901 Rockledge Drive, Suite 800, Bethesda, Maryland 20817. Electronic communications can be made through our website at www.centrusenergy.com . Under the Corporate Governance section, you will find a link to the e-mail address for writing an electronic message to the Board, the presiding director for executive sessions of the non-management directors, or the non-management directors as a group.

Director Independence

The NYSE MKT listing standards require that the boards of listed companies have a majority of independent directors and, with limited exceptions, that audit and compensation committee members must all be independent as affirmatively determined by the Board. At its March 2016 meeting, after reviewing the NYSE MKT standards of independence, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that the following eight directors were independent: Mr. Williams, Mr. Diament, Mr. Hood, Mr. Jagodinski, Ms. Jamieson, Mr. Lunat, Dr. Madia, and Mr. Morrell. The basis for these determinations was that each of these eight directors (other than Dr. Madia) had no relationships with the Company other than being a director and/or stockholder of the Company. The Board also determined that Dr. Madia had no material relationship with the Company taking into account his position as a Director on the Board of a potential partner or competitor in government procurements. All of the members of the Company’s Audit and Finance and CN&G committees are independent.

11

Investor-Designated Directors

In connection with the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on September 30, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), Toshiba America Nuclear Energy Company (“Toshiba”) and Babcock and Wilcox Investment Company (“B&W”) each received in exchange and on account of their shares of the Company’s Series B-1 12.75% convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock: (i) 718,200 shares (1,436,400 shares in the aggregate) of the Company’s new Class B common stock; and (ii) $20.19 million in principal amount of the Company’s 8% PIK toggle notes ($40.38 million in the aggregate).

Class B common stock and Class A common stock have the same rights, powers, preferences and restrictions and rank equally in all matters, except when voting on certain matters. Toshiba and B&W, as the holders of the Class B common stock, have the right to elect a total of two directors of the Company (the “Investor-Designated Directors”). Messrs. Sakamoto and Dalheim are currently serving as the Investor-Designated Directors. Toshiba and B&W could lose this right under certain circumstances, including reductions in their equity holdings of the Company below certain thresholds.

Mr. Sakamoto and Mr. Dalheim abstain from voting on any matters involving Toshiba, B&W and their affiliates.

Criteria for Board Membership

The CN&G Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a director of the Company are that a nominee demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board’s oversight of the business and affairs of the Company. This assessment includes the consideration of each director’s, or each nominee’s, business background, experience and capabilities complementary to other directors’ experience and capabilities, financial acumen, experience with government, willingness and ability to devote adequate time to the Company, integrity, and any other factor deemed appropriate, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that point in time. In addition, the Board considers the diversity of its members when considering a candidate. Centrus does not have a formal policy on Board diversity, however, Centrus’ Board of Directors Governance Guidelines include diversity as one of the criteria to be considered in reviewing the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members and nominees. When the CN&G Committee considers diversity, it takes an expansive view and seeks to achieve a diversity of viewpoints, skills, experience and other factors.

The CN&G Committee identifies potential nominees by asking current directors to notify the committee if they become aware of persons meeting the criteria described above, who might be available to serve on the Board. The CN&G Committee also, from time to time, may engage firms that specialize in identifying director candidates.

Once a person has been identified by the CN&G Committee as a potential candidate, the committee may collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be considered further. If the CN&G Committee determines that the candidate warrants further consideration, the Chairman or another member of the committee or their designee contacts the person. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be considered and to serve on the Board, the CN&G Committee requests information from the candidate, reviews the person’s accomplishments and qualifications, including in light of any other candidates that the committee might be considering, and conducts one or more interviews with the candidate. In certain instances, committee members may contact one or more references provided by the candidate or may contact other members of the business community or other persons that may have greater first-hand knowledge of the candidate’s accomplishments. The committee’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a stockholder.

Mr. Sakamoto and Mr. Dalheim were designated by Toshiba and B&W, respectively. Under the terms of the Chapter 11 plan support agreements with Toshiba and B&W, the CN&G Committee reviewed the qualifications of Mr. Sakamoto and Mr. Dalheim prior to their election to the Board. Mr. Dalheim was elected to the Board in December 2014 to replace the previous B&W designee.

Director Nominations by Stockholders

The CN&G Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. In considering candidates submitted by stockholders, the CN&G Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. To have a candidate considered by the CN&G Committee, a stockholder must comply with notification requirements in Centrus’ bylaws. The bylaws require, among other things, that a stockholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include the following information:
 	 	
•	the name of the stockholder and evidence of the person’s ownership of Company stock, including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and	
 	 	
•	the name of the candidate, the candidate’s resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of the Company and the person’s consent to be named as a director if selected by the CN&G Committee and nominated by the Board.	

Under our bylaws, a stockholder’s nomination for director must be delivered to the Company’s Secretary not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, unless the date of the next annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, in which case notice must be received not later than the tenth day following the day on which notice of the meeting is mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is made. Accordingly, stockholder nominations for director must be received by the Company between January 12, 2017 and February 11, 2017, in order to be considered timely, unless the Company gives notice that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before, or more than 60 days after, May 12, 2017.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board does not have a policy on whether or not the role of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate. However, Centrus currently has a separate, independent Chairman. Mr. Williams has been Chairman since September 2014. Centrus believes this leadership structure is appropriate for Centrus at this time because Mr. Williams provides valuable oversight of management, while avoiding potential conflicts, and encouraging a proactive and effective board. In his role as Chairman, Mr. Williams provides Board leadership, presides at all Board meetings and approves all Board agendas.

The Board has responsibility for risk oversight of Centrus and exercises this oversight function both through the entire Board and through the individual committees of the Board. Individuals who are responsible for Centrus’ key risks report directly to the entire Board on a regular basis regarding Centrus’ enterprise risk management (ERM) program. The Audit and Finance Committee has responsibility to discuss the Company’s guidelines and policies governing risk assessment and risk management and the process by which each is handled. The risks that are identified as part of Centrus’ ERM program and through the Audit and Finance Committee process flow down to the specific committees based on their areas of responsibility. For example, the Audit and Finance Committee oversees the management by Centrus of risks as they relate to audit and finance matters or other matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities, while the Technology, Competition and Regulatory Committee oversees the management by Centrus of risks as they relate to compliance with regulatory requirements or other matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities.

13

Code of Business Conduct

Centrus has a code of business conduct, applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. The code of business conduct provides a summary of the standards of conduct that are at the foundation of our business operations. The code of business conduct states that we conduct our business in strict compliance with all applicable laws and addresses other important matters such as conflicts of interest and how violations of the code may be reported and will be handled. Each director, officer and employee must read the code of business conduct and sign a form stating that he has read, understands and agrees to comply with the code of business conduct. Our Business Conduct Committee is responsible for monitoring performance under the code of business conduct and for addressing any issues that arise with respect to the code. A copy of the code of business conduct is available on our website at  www.centrusenergy.com  or upon written request, addressed to the Secretary at (i) if prior to April 29, 2016, the Secretary, Centrus Energy Corp., 6903 Rockledge Drive, Suite 400, Bethesda, Maryland 20817, or (ii) if on or after April 29, 2016, the Secretary, Centrus Energy Corp., 6901 Rockledge Drive, Suite 800, Bethesda, Maryland 20817. We will disclose on the website any amendments to, or waivers from, the code of business conduct that are required to be publicly disclosed.

Transactions with Related Persons

The Board has adopted a policy and procedures for review, approval or ratification of transactions involving the Company and “related persons” (the Company’s directors and executive officers and stockholders owning 5% or greater of the Company’s outstanding stock, or their immediate family members). The policy covers any related person transaction that meets the minimum threshold for disclosure under the relevant SEC rules or that is otherwise referred to the Board for review. This generally includes transactions involving amounts exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. Under this policy, related person transactions must be approved by the CN&G Committee, although the Chairman of the Board may direct that the full Board review specific transactions. The transaction must be approved in advance whenever feasible and, if not feasible, must be ratified at the CN&G Committee’s next meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the CN&G Committee will take into account all factors it deems appropriate, including: whether the subject matter of the transaction is available from other non-affiliated sources; whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third party; the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and whether the transaction is in the best interests of the Company.

Management is responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to ensure that related person transactions are identified and that disclosure is made as required by law. To that end, currently we annually require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related person transactions.

In connection with the Company’s restructuring, the Company engaged AP Services, LLC (“APS”), an affiliate of AlixPartners, LLP (“AlixPartners”) to provide various consulting and management services to the Company.  John R. Castellano, the Company’s former interim President and Chief Executive Officer, is a partner at AlixPartners and served as the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer from October 2013 until October 2014 pursuant to that engagement. Mr. Castellano was appointed as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective October 17, 2014, and served in that position until March 23, 2015.  Mr. Castellano’s services to the Company were billed by APS under its agreement with the Company.  Mr. Castellano did not receive separate compensation from the Company for serving as either the Chief Restructuring Officer or the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and did not participate in any of the Company’s employee benefit plans.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $5.0 million in fees related to its engagement with APS, including approximately $2.0 million related to the services provided by Mr. Castellano as Chief Restructuring Officer and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in fees related to its engagement with APS, including approximately $0.6 million related to the services provided by Mr. Castellano as Chief Restructuring Officer and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

The functions performed by our four standing committees are described below.

Audit and Finance Committee

The Audit and Finance Committee represents and assists the Board with the oversight of: the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, and the performance of the independent auditors. In addition, the Committee is responsible for appointing, retaining, compensating, evaluating and, if necessary, terminating the Company’s independent auditors. The Committee is also responsible for advising the Board regarding significant financial matters. The Committee is also responsible for discussing the Company’s guidelines and policies governing risk assessment and risk management and the process by which each is handled and to oversee the management by the Company of risks as they relate to audit and finance matters or other matters within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities. The Committee meets regularly in executive session with the Company’s independent auditor and with the Company’s chief audit executive.

The Board has determined that each member of the Audit and Finance Committee is an “independent director” in accordance with NYSE MKT listing standards. Under the NYSE MKT listing standards, all audit committee members must be “financially literate,” as that term is determined by the Board in its business judgment. Further, under SEC rules, the Board must determine whether at least one member of the audit committee is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the SEC’s rules. The Board has determined that all members of the Audit and Finance Committee are “financially literate” and qualify as “audit committee financial experts.”

Compensation, Nominating & Governance Committee

The CN&G Committee’s responsibilities include annually reviewing the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior management; overseeing and administering the Company’s executive compensation program; and reviewing, overseeing and evaluating overall compensation programs and policies for the Company and its employees. The CN&G Committee is also responsible for overseeing the management by the Company of risks as they relate to the Company’s compensation policies and practices and other matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities. The CN&G Committee is also responsible for periodically reviewing compensation for non-employee directors and making recommendations to the Board. The CN&G Committee also establishes performance objectives under the Company’s incentive programs and oversees administration of employee benefit plans.

The functions of the CN&G Committee also include the following: identifying and recommending to the Board individuals qualified to serve as directors of the Company; recommending to the Board directors to serve on committees of the Board; advising the Board with respect to matters of Board composition and procedures; developing and recommending to the Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the Company and overseeing corporate governance matters generally; overseeing the annual evaluations of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board and its committees; and overseeing the management by the Company of risks as they relate to the Company’s corporate governance or other matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities.

The CN&G Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders in accordance with the procedures previously described under  “Governance Information - Director Nominations by Stockholders.”  In addition, the CN&G Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company’s code of business conduct and overseeing the Company’s processes for monitoring compliance, and for reviewing and approving all transactions between the Company and any related person under the Company’s related person transaction policy previously described.

The Board has determined that each member of the CN&G Committee is an “independent director” in accordance with NYSE MKT listing standards.

16

The CN&G Committee has retained a consultant, Pay Governance, to provide the committee with independent compensation data, analysis and advice. Pay Governance reports to the CN&G Committee and its chairman. Under the CN&G Committee’s charter, the CN&G Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate them and to approve their fees and other retention terms. Throughout 2015, the compensation consultant worked closely with the CN&G Committee and attended a majority of CN&G Committee meetings and met with the CN&G Committee regularly in executive session. Examples of projects assigned to the compensation consultant during 2015 included market studies of executive pay and of Board pay, pay-for-performance analysis, review of a peer group for executive compensation benchmarking, a review of walk-away values as of year-end and advice on compensation best practices.
The CN&G Committee, in consultation with management, has reviewed the design and operation of the Company’s compensation arrangements and evaluated the relationship between the Company’s risk management policies and practices and these arrangements. As a result of this review, the  CN&G Committee  has determined that the Company’s compensation policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Technology, Competition and Regulatory Committee

The Technology, Competition and Regulatory Committee’s responsibilities include providing oversight and guidance to management with respect to the Company’s technology initiatives, with a focus on the potential technological advances and technological risk related to the Company’s centrifuge technology; informing the Board of significant energy policy developments and developments in enrichment technology; monitoring competition and market demand in the enrichment industry; monitoring the protection of the Company’s intellectual property; monitoring issues with respect to the Company’s information technology; monitoring operational readiness activities; and overseeing the management by the Company of risks as they relate to the Company’s technology, competition or other matters within the committee’s scope of responsibilities.

The Committee’s responsibilities include monitoring the Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements, overseeing the Company’s initiatives with and involving various agencies of the United States government and applicable State governments. The Committee is also responsible for advising the Board on regulatory and other governmental considerations in the Board’s deliberations and decision-making processes, and overseeing the management by the Company of risks as they relate to the Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements or other matters within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities.

Compensation of Directors

Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangement

Annual compensation for non-employee directors typically covers service for the one-year term commencing at the annual meeting. For the 2015-2016 term, the Board of Directors approved the following compensation structure for non-employee directors:
 	 	
•	Annual cash retainer of $60,000, paid in four quarterly installments on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31.	

•	Board meeting fees are paid to each director based on the number of board meetings attended. Directors attending a meeting in person receive a fee of $3,000 per meeting and directors receive a fee of $1,500 for each meeting attended telephonically. Meeting fees are paid in arrears at the time that annual cash retainer payments are made.	

17

 	 	
•	Annual grant of 5,000 RSUs that vests on May 7, 2016. However, vesting is accelerated upon (1) the director attaining eligibility for retirement, (2) termination of the director’s service by reason of death or disability, or (3) a change in control. Settlement of RSUs is made in shares of Centrus common stock upon the director’s retirement or other end of service.	

•	$100,000 annual fee for the Chairman of the Board. An annual fee of $15,000 will be paid for the Audit and Finance Committee chairman and also for the CN&G Committee chairman. An annual fee of $50,000 will be paid for the Technology, Competition and Regulatory Committee chairman. Committee fees are paid in four quarterly installments at the time annual cash retainer payments are made.	

•	Committee meeting fees are paid to each director that is a duly elected member of that committee based on the number of committee meetings attended. A meeting fee of $1,500 will be paid for committee meetings held in conjunction with a full board meeting. A meeting fee of $3,000 will be paid for in-person committee meetings held independently of a board meeting. A meeting fee of $1,500 will be paid for each meeting attended telephonically.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Highlights of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our executive compensation program is built on a strong governance framework and pay-for-performance philosophy. Key design elements and features of this program are:
 	 	
•	Our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee exercises strong oversight of all elements of executive compensation;	
 	 	
•	Base salary in 2015 represented 64%or less of each named executive officer’s total direct compensation opportunity, with the remainder of compensation being variable or “at risk;”	
 	 	
•	Our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee uses Pay Governance, as its an independent compensation consultant;	
 	 	
•	Our equity incentive plan includes a compensation recovery or “clawback” provision that applies to all equity plan participants;	
 	 	
•	Except for Mr. Poneman, our CEO, there are no employment agreements with other executives, and cash severance payments upon a termination is limited to (a) two times base salary and annual bonus for Mr. Poneman and one times base salary and bonus for other executives and (b) the executive’s prorated performance bonus based on actual performance;	
 	 	
•	Change in control agreements with covered executives are “double-trigger” requiring both a change in control and a separation from service within a specified period to receive benefits. These agreements provide for automatic renewal to protect employees; however, we retain the ability to terminate the agreements with sufficient notice;	
 	 	
•	Excise tax-gross ups have been eliminated from all change in control agreements; and	
 	 	
•	We have a strong risk management program with specific responsibilities assigned to the Board and its committees, and consideration of avoiding excessive risk in compensation decisions.	

Our 2015 Executive Compensation Program

On January 1, 2015, the 2015 Executive Incentive Plan became effective, which plan provides for the award of an annual cash award for 2015 (“Annual Award”) and a long-term incentive cash award (“LTI”) to be granted upon the attainment of the applicable performance goals as certified by the CN&G Committee, as well as, a grant of equity (“Equity Award”) under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2015 Executive Incentive Plan arises under and is subject to the terms of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated from time to time. The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, which became effective on the Effective Date, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and other individuals providing services to the Company or its affiliates pursuant to options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights and other stock based awards, as well as cash based awards. Pursuant to the 2015 Executive Incentive Plan, each named executive officer is eligible to receive an Annual Award and the maximum Annual Award for each named executive officer is 125% of target. The CN&G Committee determined it would not institute an LTI or Equity Award under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan for any named executive officer. The CN&G Committee measured performance goals during the one year-period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

As soon as practical after the year is completed, our CN&G Committee reviews actual performance against the stated goals and determines subjectively what it believes to be the appropriate level of cash bonus, if any, for the named executive officers. For 2015, 80% of each award was based upon achievement of predetermined Company objectives and 20% of each award was based on achievement of specific individual performance objectives. The predetermined Company objectives for 2015 consisted of:

24

 	 	
•	achievement of cash flow targets as identified in the approved 2015 budget;	
 	 	
•	continuation of corporate restructuring efforts and achievement of targeted levels of selling, general and administrative expenses;	
 	 	
•	renegotiation of the supply commitment under a 2011 agreement with the Russian government entity Joint Stock Company “TENEX”;	
 	 	
•	growth of the low-enriched uranium business;	
 	 	
•	ability to obtain separative work units from alternative supply sources;	
 	 	
•	achievement of revenue and gross profit targets for the low-enriched uranium business segment;	
 	 	
•	reaching a new agreement regarding the scope and funding for operations of American Centrifuge activities by the third quarter of 2015;	
 	 	
•	the successful positioning of the Company for a significant role in one of the government’s national security; projects that continues to allow for the Company to commercialize the American Centrifuge Project technology; and	
 	 	
•	achievement of cost targets under the ACTDO Agreement through the third quarter of 2015.	

In March 2016, our CN&G Committee reviewed the performance of the Company and of each individual named executive officer against the 2015 goals and objectives and elected to pay annual performance-based cash incentive award to the named executive officers at 94.8% of the target level. The amounts awarded to each named executive officer for 2015 performance are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

401(k) Retirement Plan and Executive Deferred Compensation Program

Centrus maintains a 401(k) retirement plan that is intended to be a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, all of the Company’s employees are eligible to participate in the plan beginning on the first day of their employment. The 401(k) plan includes a salary deferral arrangement pursuant to which participants may elect to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed limit, generally equal to $18,000 for 2015, and have the amount of the reduction contributed to the 401(k) plan. For 2015, the 401(k) plan provided for a Company-matching contribution of (1) 200 percent on before-tax contributions up to the first 2 percent of a participant’s eligible pay, (2) 100 percent on before-tax contributions on the next 2 percent of a participant’s eligible pay, and (3) 50 percent on before-tax contributions on the next 2% of a participant’s eligible pay.

Additionally, effective June 1, 2015, Centrus amended and restated its Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which has been frozen since December 31, 2012. Certain of the Company’s named executive officers participate in the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. For 2015, the Company provided an employer match under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan equal to the maximum matching contribution amount that would have been provided to each participant under the 401(k) plan as reduced by the amount of actual Company matching contributions received by the participant during the year. The amounts of matching contributions paid to each named executive officer for 2015 are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table in the column entitled “All Other Compensation.”

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to (i) any individual serving as the principal executive officer of the Company during 2015, (ii) the two other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company during 2015 who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2015, and (iii) two former executive officers of the Company who would have been included in (ii) above but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of the Company at December 31, 2015 (together, the “named executive officers”).

________________

(1)	The amounts shown in the Salary column for Messrs. Barpoulis and Sewell in 2015 also include amounts paid for unused accrued vacation time.	
(2)	The amounts shown in the Option Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of option awards under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For Mr. Poneman, option awards were made on March 6, 2015 with a Black-Scholes value of $2.89 per share. For Mr. Greene, option awards were made on July 25, 2015 with a Black-Scholes value of $2.58 per share. For a discussion of valuation assumptions, see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.	
(3)	For Messrs. Greene and Donelson, amounts shown for 2015 in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column include annual incentive awards based on the CN&G Committee’s evaluation of each officer’s performance against the annual performance objectives during the year. For these individuals, the amounts shown for 2015 include the incentives earned during that year and include amounts paid in March 2016 for performance during 2015 under the Company’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan. For Messrs. Barpoulis and Sewell, amounts for 2015 include prorated annual incentive awards for performance during 2015 under the Company’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan paid in accordance with the Company’s Executive Severance Plan.

(4)	For Mr. Greene, the change in total pension value in 2015 was ($8,327). For Mr. Donelson, the change in total pension value in 2015 was ($41,729). For Mr. Barpoulis, the change in total pension value in 2015 was ($152,862); and for Mr. Sewell, the change in total pension value in 2015 was ($475,239). The change in present values was due to several factors including the freeze of benefits under the 2006 SERP, decreases in discount rates and lump sum interest rates, Centrus’ adoption of the Society of Actuaries’ RP-2014 mortality tables with MP-2014 improvements with respect to annuity benefits and a reduction in the assumed period of time until benefit commencement. None of our plans provide for above-market earnings on deferred compensation amounts, and as a result, the amounts reported here do not reflect any such earnings.	
(5)	The amounts shown in the All Other Compensation column for 2015 include Company matching contributions of $18,550 made under the Centrus 401(k) plan to each of Messrs. Greene and Donelson; and $17,812 made under the Centrus 401(k) plan to Mr. Barpoulis. For Mr. Poneman, the amount includes $21,000 in Company matching contributions under the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and $13,327 made under the Centrus 401(k) plan. The amount for Mr. Barpoulis includes severance compensation of $902,500; and severance health benefits of $38,576. The amount for Mr. Sewell includes severance compensation of $919,790; and severance health benefits $30,000.	
(6)	Mr. Poneman was not a named executive officer in 2014 and therefore his compensation information for that year is omitted in accordance with SEC rules.	
(7)	Represents a guaranteed fixed bonus paid in accordance with Mr. Poneman’s employment agreement.	
(8)	Mr. Castellano served as the Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from October 17, 2014 until March 23, 2015. In connection with the Company’s restructuring, the Company engaged APS, an affiliate of AlixPartners, to provide various consulting and management services to the Company. Mr. Castellano is a partner at AlixPartners and had served as the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer from October 2013 until October 2014 pursuant to that engagement.

CEO Employment Agreement

The Company entered into an employment agreement, effective as of March 6, 2015, (the “Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Poneman. The Employment Agreement has an initial term ending on March 31, 2017 and automatically renews annually thereafter. The Employment Agreement provides Mr. Poneman with an initial base salary of $750,000 per year which will be reviewed annually by the Company’s CN&G Committee for possible increase.

Bonus.  Mr. Poneman is eligible for an annual bonus under the Company’s 2015 Executive Incentive Plan (or its successor) with a target amount at least equal to 100% of base salary and a maximum amount of 125% of base salary (or such higher amount as the CN&G Committee may determine in the future). The actual amount of the annual bonus will be determined by the CN&G Committee in its sole discretion and based upon its assessment of whether the applicable performance goals and targets have been achieved during the fiscal year and was prorated for 2015. For fiscal year 2015, Mr. Poneman also received a guaranteed fixed annual bonus of $625,000.

Equity Compensation. In connection with Mr. Poneman’s commencement with employment, Mr. Poneman was granted a stock option to purchase 300,000 shares of our common stock. The option has a ten-year term with a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, and vests and becomes exercisable in equal annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Poneman’s continued employment on the applicable vesting dates.

Long-Term Incentive. Mr. Poneman is a participant in the current two-year long-term cash incentive award program under the Company’s 2014 Post-Restructuring Incentive Plan for an amount up to $350,000 to be paid on or about June 30, 2016. The actual amount of the payment, if any, will be based on the Company’s achievement of Company performance milestones as set forth in the 2014 Post-Restructuring Incentive Plan and is not guaranteed.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Payments Made Upon Termination

Under the Centrus Energy Corp. Executive Severance Plan, if a covered executive is terminated by the Company without cause, he is eligible to receive the following:
 	 	
•	a prorated share of his current incentive (payable at the end of the performance period based on actual performance) up to the date of termination;	
 	 	
•	a lump sum cash severance (the “Lump Sum Cash Severance Benefit”); and	
 	 	
•	continuation of medical and dental coverage as well as life insurance (“Continuing Severance Benefits”) paid for by the Company for a period of time after termination (the “Severance Period”) (or until he receives similar coverage from a subsequent employer, whichever occurs first) and outplacement assistance services.	

As of January 1, 2015, the Lump Sum Cash Severance Benefit for our covered executives is equal to one times annual base salary and bonus and the Severance Period is one year, except for Mr. Poneman, who is entitled to a Lump Sum Cash Severance Benefit equal to two times annual base salary and bonus and the Severance Period is two years. Severance benefits are contingent upon the executive executing a release and agreeing to comply with certain restrictive covenants relating to non-competition and non-solicitation of Company employees during the Severance Period. Under the Executive Severance Plan, no severance is paid to an employee who is terminated for cause or who resigns voluntarily, including retirement. On the Effective Date, pursuant to the court-approved Plan of Reorganization, the Company’s Executive Severance Plan was amended and restated to allow covered executives to terminate for “good reason” (as defined in the plan) during the twelve-month period following the Effective Date and treat such termination as a termination without “cause” entitling the executive to severance under the terms of the plan.

28

Payments Made Upon a Change in Control

The Company has entered into change in control agreements with its executive officers. The change in control agreements provide each executive with the following benefits (in lieu of any severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan described above) if there is a change in control of the Company and within a protected period beginning three months before and ending three years after that change in control (the “protected period”), the Company terminates the executive’s employment without cause or the executive terminates his employment for “good reason” (as defined in the agreement):
 	 	
•	a cash lump sum payment of his unpaid base salary through the date of termination, plus all other amounts to which he was entitled under any of the Company’s compensation or benefit plans under the terms of such plans;	
 	 	
•	a cash lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of his annual base salary and bonus (the “Change in Control Lump Sum Benefit”) (the executive’s bonus is generally the average of the three most recent annual incentive bonuses paid to the executive prior to the date of termination); and	
 	 	
•	continuation of life, accident and health insurance benefits (“Continuing Change in Control Benefits”) for him and his dependents for two years following such termination of employment (the “Covered Period”) or, if sooner, until he is covered by comparable programs of a subsequent employer.	

In order to receive these benefits, the executive must comply with the non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions of the change in control agreement during the term of the agreement and during the Covered Period.

Stock Options Granted Under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan

If an executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by the executive with good reason coincident with or following a change in control, all of the executive’s unvested stock options will become vested. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, if an executive’s employment is terminated by the executive voluntarily, by reason of death, disability or retirement or by the Company for reasons other than for cause, all of the executive’s unvested stock options will be cancelled. If the executive’s employment is terminated for cause, all of the executive’s stock options (whether unvested or vested) will be cancelled and forfeited. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Poneman’s employment agreement, all unvested stock options would vest upon death, disability or a change in control.

PROPOSAL 2. ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required by federal securities laws, the Board of Directors is providing our stockholders with an opportunity to provide a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. This vote, which is often referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote, provides stockholders with the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables and related narrative discussion contained in the 2016 proxy statement, is hereby approved.”

This advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers is not binding on us, our Board of Directors or the CN&G Committee. However, our Board of Directors and the CN&G Committee will review and consider the outcome of this advisory vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the compensation of the named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 3. RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit and Finance Committee of the Company has appointed the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the independent auditors of the Company for 2016, subject to ratification of this appointment by the stockholders of the Company. One or more representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the annual meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP representatives will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit and Finance Committee has sole authority for appointing and terminating Centrus’ independent auditors for 2016. Accordingly, stockholder approval is not required to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Centrus’ independent auditors for 2016. The Audit and Finance Committee believes, however, that submitting the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the stockholders for ratification is a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit and Finance Committee will review its future selection of the Company’s independent auditors.

The ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Centrus’ independent auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.

The Board recommends voting FOR ratification of the appointment ofPricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Centrus’ independent auditors for 2016.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The Audit and Finance Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors prior to the engagement of the independent auditors with respect to such services. The Audit and Finance Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee, who presents any decisions to the full Audit and Finance Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The following amounts were billed to the Company by the independent auditors for services rendered for the periods indicated:

AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of three independent directors and operates under a written charter. The Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to facilitate and encourage private communication.

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent auditors the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees. In addition, the Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence.

The Committee considered and concluded that the provision of non-audit services by the independent auditors was compatible with maintaining their independence.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
