On October 31, 2024, FuelCell Energy, Inc. (the "Company") held a special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting"). As of the close of business on September 10, 2024, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 556,009,549 shares of the Company's common stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote. At the Special Meeting, a total of 258,669,292 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 47% in voting power of the shares of the Company's common stock issued, outstanding, and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present in person (by virtual presence online) or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the Special Meeting, two proposals were submitted to a vote of the holders of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("common stock"). A more detailed description of each proposal is set forth in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 17, 2024.
