Staff comment: We note that your Charter Amendment Proposal contains Proposals 3A through 3G, and Proposal 3H that is "conditioned upon the receipt of the requisite vote on Proposals 3A through 3G," to approve the proposed Amended Certificate of Incorporation, which includes Securities and Exchange Commission the approval of all other changes in the Amended Certificate of Incorporation in connection with replacing the Certificate of Incorporation with the proposed Amended Certificate of Incorporation. However, we note that your form of proxy filed includes Proposal 3 as one proposal for shareholders to vote upon. Please provide your analysis as to why you are not required to unbundle this proposal and… letter →
Company response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure throughout the Proxy Statement and on the proxy card to make clear the separation of Proposal 3 into individual proposals 3A through 3H.

Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) · 2025-12-23 · · Comment 3 · has previously been publicly filed by the Company. Partly revised / explained
Staff comment: We note your revised discussion in the final paragraph on page 1 and the first paragraph on page 2. Please further revise to provide additional context regarding the stated reasons for the bankruptcy, including whether the reasons reflect widely applicable challenges confronting industry participants (such as prohibitive cost, financing concerns, or otherwise). In addition, please provide further disclosure regarding the encumbrances that could not be cleared through the bankruptcy process. We note that your revised disclosures here should provide contextualizing disclosure so that investors can evaluate your decision to pursue these particular assets in the manner described. The Company… letter →
Company response: to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added a sentence to its disclosure detailing the Company’s belief that USNC’s bankruptcy was not attributable to any broader challenges facing participants in the advanced nuclear technology industry. The Company respectfully submits, given the particular and isolated circumstances of USNC’s bankruptcy, that the detail set forth above related to such bankruptcy is not material to the Company’s investors and need not be disclosed in the Registration Statement. The Company has also clarified its disclosures regarding the potential for encumbrances that could not be cleared through the bankruptcy process. The Company’s revised disclosures (as disclosed… response letter →
Liquidity & Capital Resources
Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) · 2025-12-23 · · Comment 4 · of GFPL and 2025 Progress with Chalk River Project, page 2 Agreed to revise
Staff comment: We note that there appears to have been confusion as to the ownership of the Consent Assets, most notably the Chalk River License Application. Please revise to clarify whether you sought a judgement with regard to ownership of the Chalk River License Application and related assets. In this regard, we note that the closing of the USNC Acquisition on January 10, 2025 was also intended to acquire the License, among other things. Further, disclose if there are currently any other parties that claim to have ownership of the Chalk River License Application, or any of the other assets that you believe you acquired in the USNC asset acquisition on January 10, 2025 or any subsequent transaction. letter →
Company response: to the Staff’s comment, the Company advises the Staff as follows: (a) As already provided for in the Company’s disclosures, the opportunity to acquire USNC’s assets in a bankruptcy sale came about quickly, resulting in limited time to conduct diligence. While the Company believed based on preliminary due diligence that the Chalk River License Application was held by a Canadian partnership subsidiary of USNC and required the Canadian Consents in order to transfer the same, post-closing due diligence revealed that the Chalk River License Application was in fact held in the name of GFPL, and further that the Chalk River License Application could not be assigned by GFPL without having to start… response letter →
Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) · 2025-12-23 · · Comment 5 · to Amendment No. 3 to reflect the foregoing. Explained / pushed back
Staff comment: We note your disclosure in the second paragraph of this section. You state in the first sentence of that paragraph that you did not “formally acquire the Consent Assets.” It remains unclear what this phrase means. Please explain. In addition, please reconcile that statement with your disclosure on the prior page which states that you “closed” on the acquisition of the USNC Assets (which are defined to include the Canadian Assets which, in turn, are defined to include the Consent Assets). letter →
Company response: to the Staff’s comment, the Staff is advised that pursuant to the UNSC asset purchase agreement, at the closing of the transactions, the Yu Entities, as designees of the Company, acquired the right to purchase the Consent Assets from UNSC and the other debtors, subject to obtaining the applicable consents of the Canadian governmental authorities, and the Consent Assets were not actually transferred to the Company or Yu at such closing. The Staff is further advised that the principal Consent Assets were certain contracts and partnership interests related to the Chalk River project and the rights to the Chalk River License Application. When it became clear after discussions between the… response letter →
Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) · 2025-12-23 · · Comment 6 · comment and made clarifying edits accordingly. Agreed to revise
Staff comment: Please clarify when the $250,000 escrow related to the Consent Assets was funded, whether the funds are held by a third party, and whether there is a time period during which you must exercise your right to terminate the January 10, 2025 deal for the Consent Assets in order to receive the return of the escrow amount. In addition, please revise to expressly state, if true, that the option was never exercised and has been terminated. The Staff is advised that the escrow was funded in January 2025 at closing of the acquisition of the USNC Assets and is currently held by Western Alliance Bank. The Company has the right to request the return of the escrow funds if the Canadian Consents were not… letter →
Company response: letter. The Company notes that given the Company’s current cash on hand, the $250,000 amount is immaterial in the sense that it has no impact on the Company’s ability to progress its business. Further, the Staff will recall the Company’s belief that with its acquisition of GFPL, it now possesses all Canadian Assets (namely intellectual property and the Chalk River License Application) that it requires to progress its plans for the KRONOS MMR in Canada. The Staff is advised that the Yu Option could only have been exercised by the Company if the Yu Entities actually acquired the Consent Assets. Since the Company has now formally requested a return of the $250,000 escrow funds (since the… response letter →
Capitalization, Equity & Escrow
Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE) · 2025-12-23 · · Comment 10 · of Consolidated Financial Information, page 9 Agreed to revise
Staff comment: Given that you did not report income after taxes for either of the two fiscal years covered by the most recent annual report, considering the financial statement updating provisions in Rule 3-12(b) and Rule 3-01(c) of Regulation S-X, along with the SEC guidance in C&DI 223.01, the registration statement will need to include or incorporate by reference financial statements for your more recently completed fiscal year prior to the effective date. You may view the interpretive guidance at the following address: letter →
Company response: to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosures in Amendment No. 3 to include the summary of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and incorporate by reference the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 as appearing in the 2025 10-K. *** We thank the Staff for its review of the foregoing.
