Applied Energetics, Inc. set its 2026 annual meeting for December 15, 2026, with three board seats up for election. Stockholders owning common stock at the close of business on October 19, 2026, or their legal proxy holders, are entitled to vote. Because the meeting is delayed by more than 30 calendar days from the anniversary of the 2025 annual meeting, the prior deadline for stockholder proposals no longer applies.

The definitive proxy statement will provide the meeting time, location, and matters to be considered.
