To the Stockholders of American Battery Materials, Inc.:

This Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of American Battery Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to holders of record of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at the close of business on October 15, 2025, pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

The purpose of this Information Statement is to inform the Company's stockholders that the Board of Directors recommended on October 15, 2025, and holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock acted by written consent thereafter, to approve the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To
 approve an amendment to the Company's 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan to provide that the number of shares subject to the
 plan shall at all times be equal to 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis, to assist
 the Company in retaining and attracting experienced executives and well qualified employees as it expands from being a development
 stage company to a commercial stage company.

Our Board has approved the amendment to our 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan, which is our primary plan for providing equity incentive compensation to our existing eligible employees, directors and consultants, and to recruit new employees, directors, and consultants to provide that the number of shares subject to the plan shall at all times be equal to 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

Our Board desires to amend the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan in this manner to ensure that there remains sufficient capacity under the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan to retain our existing employees and recruit additional executives and employees as the Company expands. The Board believes that maintaining a plan which allows for the issuances of 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis will allow the Company to retain its senior management team and meet its future growth needs to add to its senior management team, and recruit additional employees that will be necessary for its ongoing operations.

The 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan will be modified to amend the current provision in the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan that provides for an increase in the number of shares available under the 2024 Incentive Plan equal to 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis and thereafter, if at any time the number of shares subject to the plan shall be less than 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, the number of shares subject to the plan shall increase upon each issuance by the Company of any common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock by 17.5% of such number of shares of common stock being issued on a fully diluted basis. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall the number of shares then subject to the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan be decreased.

As of the record date, 2,925,440 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock outstanding entitles the holder to one vote on all matters brought before the common stockholders. Holders of an aggregate of 1,590,644 shares of Common Stock, or 54.37% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares, voted for the grant of the discretionary authority to the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company for the amendment of the Company's 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan. Our executive officers and directors have the power to pass the proposed corporate actions without the concurrence of any of the Company's other stockholders.

As a result of requirements under applicable federal securities and state law, the stockholder consent will not be effective, and therefore the grant of discretionary authority to effect the amendment of the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan cannot occur, until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement is sent or given to the stockholders of record as of the record date.

We appreciate your continued support and confidence in the Company.

This Information Statement is being sent to the Company's stockholders by the Board of Directors to notify them about actions that the Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock have taken. The actions were taken by the Board of Directors and by stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock acting by written consent effective on October 15, 2025, and will be effective when the Company files the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware.

Copies of this Information Statement are being mailed on or about October 28, 2025, to holders of record on October 15, 2025, who did not vote for the corporate actions described in this Information Statement.

**GENERAL INFORMATION**

The Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock voted to approve and authorize the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Amend
 the Company's 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan, such that the number of shares under the 2024 Incentive Stock Plan shall always
 equal to 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis and thereafter, if at any time the number of shares
 subject to the plan shall be less than 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, the number of shares
 subject to the plan shall increase upon each issuance by the Company of any common stock or securities convertible or exercisable
 into common stock by 17.5% of such number of shares of common stock being issued on a fully diluted basis. For the avoidance of doubt,
 in no instance shall the number of shares then subject to the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan be decreased.

As of October 15, 2025, there were 2,925,440 outstanding shares of Common Stock, which constitute the Company's only outstanding voting securities. Each stockholder of record is entitled to one vote. Holders of an aggregate of 1,590,644 shares of Common Stock, or 54.37% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares, voted in favor of the grant of the discretionary authority to the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company to amend the Company's 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan. **Therefore, the Company is not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send the Company a proxy.**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY'S CAPITAL STOCK**

The Company's authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.

**STOCKHOLDER RESOLUTION NO. 1**

Section 4(a) of the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan is amended to read as follows:

*Shares available for awards; adjustments*. *Limitation on Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery Under Plan*.

Subject to adjustment under **Section 10(c)**, the total number of Shares authorized to be awarded under the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan shall initially not exceed 800,000, provided, however, if at any time the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan) then the number of Shares authorized to be awarded under the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan shall increase to an amount equal to 17.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such increase, if any, shall occur automatically upon each applicable issuance of securities by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of Shares authorized to be awarded under the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan shall not be decreased, other than adjustments under **Section 10(c)**. Shares issued under the 2024 Incentive Compensation Plan shall consist in whole or in part of authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares, or Shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by the Company from time to time.
