With multiple commercial projects underway and a growing global footprint, we believe that Boaz's appointment will strengthen our governance and position us to realize significant value creation for our shareholders."

Mr. Toshav succeeds Ms. Nava Swersky Sofer, who concluded her term on the Board following six years of dedicated service. Ms. Swersky Sofer's departure was in accordance with the natural expiration of her term and was not the result of any disagreement with the Company. The Board and management extend their sincere appreciation for her strategic insight and leadership during a period of meaningful growth and transformation at Brenmiller Energy.

This appointment follows Brenmiller's recent strategic milestones, including project deployments in Europe, Israel, and the United States. Notably, the European Hydrogen Bank has granted SolWinHy Cádiz S.L. (the "SolWinHy Project") in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, €25 million in funding. SolWinHy is a special purpose company jointly owned by leading renewable energy developers Green Enesys Group ("Green Enesys") and Viridi RE ("Viridi") to build new green hydrogen and green e-methanol projects in Europe. Green Enesys and Viridi are Brenmiller's joint venture partners in Brenmiller Europe S.L. ("Brenmiller Europe"). The Company estimates its supply of the bGen™ TES system for the SolWinHy Project to be approximately €7 million. The Company believes that its involvement with the SolWinHy Project reinforces the strength of its bGen™ technology and the Company's role in enabling renewable fuel production at scale. Brenmiller continues to expand its role as a key enabler of flexible, clean industrial heat in support of global net-zero targets.
