This notice (this "**Notice**") and the accompanying Information Statement are being furnished to the stockholders of Alternus Clean Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("**Alternus**," the "**Company**," "**we**," "**our**," or "**us**"), in connection with the corporate actions described below taken by the Company's Board of Directors ("**Board**") and by the holders of a majority of the Company's voting capital stock (the "**Majority Stockholders**") by written consent in lieu of meetings executed on December 30, 2025, pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("**DGCL**") and our bylaws, provided approval for the following corporate actions, respectively (the "**Authorizations**"):

**Item 1:** The approval of an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("**Certificate of Incorporation**") to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 2,000,000,000, in substantially the form of which is provided herein as **<u>Annex</u>**<u> </u>**<u>A</u>** (the "**Share Increase**").

Concurrently with the Authorizations, all of the members of the Board, by written consents in lieu of a meeting, as provided under the DGCL, provided similar authorizations.

This Information Statement is being furnished to our stockholders of record as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**"), and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("**SEC**") thereunder, solely for the purpose of informing our stockholders of the actions taken by the written consent.

The Information Statement is provided solely for your information, and also serves the purpose of informing stockholders of the matters described herein pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange, and the rules and regulations prescribed thereunder, including Regulation 14C.

**Dissenters**' **Right of Appraisal**

No dissenters' or appraisal rights under the DGCL are afforded to the Company's stockholders as a result of the approval of the Authorizations.

The consent we have received constitutes the only stockholder approval required under the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, to approve the Share Increase. Our Board of Directors is not soliciting your consent or your proxy in connection with this action and neither consents nor proxies are being requested from stockholders.

**Vote Required**

The vote, which was required to approve the above Authorizations, was the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's voting stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held. The holder of one (1) share of Series A Super Voting Preferrred Stock is entitled to 10,000 votes each (when voting together with our Common Stock).

The date used for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of the voting stock of the Company entitled to vote to approve the Share Increase, and the transactions contemplated thereby is December 31, 2025 (the "**Record Date**"). The record date for determining those stockholders of the Company entitled to receive this Information Statement is the close of business on February 3, 2026 (the "**Mailing Date**"). As of the Record Date, the Company had 600,724,658 shares of voting stock outstanding, with 724,658 shares being Common Stock and 60,000 shares of Series A Super Voting Preferrred Stock having an aggregate of 600,000,000 votes (and together with the Common Stock that such stockholder voted, representing approximately 99.9% of the shares entitled to vote thereon) on December 31, 2025, consented in writing to the Corporate Actions. Accordingly, all Corporate Actions were authorized and approved as of the Record Date. All outstanding shares are fully paid and nonassessable.

**Vote Obtained**

Section 228(a) of the DGCL and our bylaws provide that any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, via written consent of the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

The approximate ownership percentage of the voting stock of the Company by the Majority Holder as of the Record Date totaled in the aggregate of 99.9%.

**Notice Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL**

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, no advance notice is required to be provided to the other shareholders, who have not consented in writing to such action, of the taking of the stated corporate action without a meeting of stockholders. No additional action will be undertaken pursuant to such written consents, and no dissenters' rights under the DGCL are afforded to the Company's stockholders as a result of the action to be taken.

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of corporate action by written consent to our stockholders who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as the notice required by Section 228 of the DGCL.

**ALTERNUS CLEAN ENERGY, INC.**

**17 State Street, Suite 4000,**<br> **New York City, New York, 10004**

**WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY**

**ITEM 1.**

**AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 600,000,000 TO 2,000,000,000**

**The Amendment to Increase Shares of our Common Stock**

On December 30, 2025, our Board and Majority Stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the "**Certificate of Amendment**"), which amends our Thrid Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 to 2,000,000,000. The text of the Certificate of Amendment is set forth in <u>Annex A</u> attached hereto.

**Purposes of the Increase in Shares of our Common Stock**

The Company currently has authorized capital stock of 600,000,000 shares of our common stock, with 724,658 shares outstanding and 2,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, 60,000 of which have been designated Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock.

The purpose of the increase in total authorized shares of our common stock is to improve our financial flexibility with respect to our capital structure by having additional shares for future equity financings and acquisitions. The extra shares of authorized our common stock would be available for issuance from time to time as determined by the Board for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes might include, without limitation, issuance in public or private sales for cash as a means of obtaining additional capital for use in our business and operations, and issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have no obligation to issue such additional shares and there are no plans, proposals or arrangements currently contemplated by us that would involve the issuance of the additional shares to acquire another company or its assets, or for any other corporate purpose stated.

**Principal Effects of the Increase in Authorized Shares**

The Company's stockholders will not realize any dilution in their ownership or voting rights as a result of the increase in authorized shares of our common stock, but will experience dilution to the extent additional shares are issued in the future.

Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock would allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our capitalization. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock may, if such shares are issued at prices below what current stockholders' paid for their shares, reduce stockholders' equity per share and dilute the value of current stockholders' shares. It is not the present intention of the Board to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of shares of our common stock that would become authorized by our Certificate of Amendment unless otherwise required by law or regulation. Frequently, opportunities arise that require prompt action, and it is the belief of the Board that the delay necessitated for stockholder approval of a specific issuance could be to the detriment of us and our stockholders.

When issued, the additional shares of our common stock authorized by the Certificate of Amendment will have the same rights and privileges as the shares of our common stock currently authorized and outstanding. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights and, accordingly, stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase any of the additional shares of our common stock when such shares are issued.

Shares of authorized and unissued our common stock could be issued in one or more transactions that could make it more difficult, and therefore less likely, that any takeover of us could occur. Issuance of additional shares of our common stock could have a deterrent effect on persons seeking to acquire control. The Board also could, although it has no present intention of so doing, authorize the issuance of shares of our common stock to a holder who might thereby obtain sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to effect certain business combinations or amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws would not receive the required stockholder approval. Accordingly, the power to issue additional shares of our common stock could enable the Board to make it more difficult to replace incumbent directors and to accomplish business combinations opposed by the incumbent Board.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Effectiveness of the Amendment**

The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will become effective twenty (20) calendar days after this Information Statement is first mailed or otherwise delivered to holders of our Common Stock as of the Record Date and upon the filing of the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

**ACTIONS AUTHORIZED AND APPROVED**

The action that was taken by the Company's Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders was the authorization and approval of the Share Increase.

**DISSENTERS**' **RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL**

Under the DGCL, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Share Increase.

**INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON**

None of our officers and directors, nor any of their associates, have any interest in the actions approved by our stockholders and described in this Information Statement except in their capacity as holders of our Common Stock and Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock (which interest does not differ from that of the other holders of our Common Stock).

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock, our only outstanding classes of capital stock having the right to vote on this matter, known by us as of the Record Date, by:

● each person or entity known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;

● each of our directors;

● each of our executive officers; and

● all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Beneficial ownership of the voting stock is determined in accordance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") and includes any shares of Company voting stock over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or of which a person has a right to acquire ownership at any time within 60 days of the Record Date. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting stock held by them. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by them, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. To our knowledge, none of the shares listed below are held under a voting trust or similar agreement, except as noted. To our knowledge, there is no arrangement, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

**INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON**

None of the persons who have served as our officers or directors since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or any associates of such persons, have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the authorization and approval of the Share Increase, other than the interests held by such persons through their respective beneficial ownership of the shares of our capital stock set forth above in the section entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." None of our directors opposed the authorization and approval of the Private Placement.

**VOTE OBTAINED** — **DELAWARE LAW**

Section 228 of the DGCL generally provides that any action required to be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Pursuant to the Listing Rules of OTC Pink tier of the over -the-counter market operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., a majority of the outstanding voting shares of stock entitled to vote thereon is required in order to effectuate FINRA Approval. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and to effect the above action as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as herein described, the Board consented to the utilization of, and successfully obtained, written consent of the Majority Stockholders.

As of the Record Date, there were 600,724,658 shares of voting stock outstanding, with 724,658 shares being Common Stock and 60,000 shares of Series A Super Voting Preferrred Stock having an aggregate of 600,000,000 votes. On the Record Date, stockholders holding in the aggregate 99.9% shares of the capital stock outstanding on such date voted for the Share Increase.
