Brenmiller Energy (Nasdaq: BNRG) secures EIB waiver and targets debt-cutting deal
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Brenmiller Energy Ltd. announced that the European Investment Bank executed a waiver under Brenmiller’s March 2021 credit facility, deferring an approximately €1.7 million loan payment that was scheduled to be due on July 28, 2026. The waiver temporarily waives certain rights tied to that payment and remains in effect through September 15, 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended, giving Brenmiller additional time and liquidity while the parties work toward a definitive settlement.
Brenmiller states it is advancing discussions with the EIB toward a full and final settlement of the existing loan facility, which it expects, if completed, would retire the obligation at a meaningful reduction versus amounts otherwise payable, reduce debt and strengthen its balance sheet in support of its long-term BrenX integrated energy platform strategy. The company links this process to evolving its capital structure, supporting a “Made in the EU” industrial footprint, and enabling recurring-revenue BrenX projects, while cautioning that discussions are ongoing and there is no assurance on timing, final terms or completion.

Exhibit 99.1
Brenmiller Energy Announces Waiver from European Investment
Bank and Advances Toward Debt Settlement in Support of Its BrenX Growth Strategy
Defers the Company’s upcoming loan payment as the parties advance
toward a final settlement expected to reduce Brenmiller’s debt, strengthen
its balance sheet and support execution of its long-term BrenX growth strategy
TEL AVIV, Israel – July 24, 2026 – Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: BNRG) (the “Company”, “Brenmiller”,
or “Brenmiller Energy”) a leading global provider of Thermal Energy Storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial
and utility customers, today announced that the European Investment Bank (“EIB”) has executed a waiver to defer the Company’s
upcoming loan payment under the Company’s March 2021 credit facility with the EIB and that the parties are advancing toward a full
and final settlement of the existing loan facility — a significant step that, if completed, the Company expects would reduce its
debt and strengthen its financial position as it executes the BrenX growth strategy. As part of the waiver, the EIB has agreed to temporarily
waive certain rights arising solely from the Company’s scheduled payment obligation with respect to an approximately €1.7 million
loan payment due on July 28, 2026, with the waiver remaining in effect through September 15, 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended
in accordance with its terms, thereby providing the Company with additional time to pursue a definitive settlement while preserving near-term
liquidity, preserving near-term cash as the parties work toward a settlement designed to lower Brenmiller’s debt and free capital
for growth.
The process builds on a long-standing relationship with the EIB, whose financing supported Brenmiller in establishing the world’s first gigafactory dedicated to producing TES systems. This manufacturing platform created the industrial foundation for the Company’s proprietary bGen™ technology and helped position Brenmiller to pursue the next stage of its development.
BrenX represents the Company’s evolution from primarily manufacturing and selling TES systems into an integrated industrial energy developer and provider. Under the BrenX strategy, the Company intends to combine its proprietary bGen™ technology with renewable generation, energy management and complementary infrastructure to develop, own and optimize energy assets under long-term commercial structures.
As the Company’s business model evolves, Brenmiller believes its capital structure should evolve with it. The ongoing process with the EIB is intended to give the Company a leaner balance sheet and greater financial flexibility to fund the BrenX model, which aims to generate long-term, recurring revenue. The Company also believes that the process will support a “Made in the EU” initiative, aimed at expanding European manufacturing, supply-chain and project execution capabilities as BrenX grows across the region.
The executed waiver deferring the approximately €1.7 million payment due on July 28, 2026 reflects the constructive nature of the discussions and is a step toward a full and final settlement of the existing loan. The Company expects that settlement would retire the obligation for a meaningful reduction relative to the amounts otherwise payable — strengthening its balance sheet, reducing its debt burden and freeing capital to advance the integrated, long-term BrenX platform.
“The EIB’s financing played an important role in enabling Brenmiller to build a first-of-its-kind industrial platform—the world’s first gigafactory dedicated to producing thermal energy storage systems,” said Nir Brenmiller, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “That investment helped us move our technology from innovation to industrial-scale execution and created a foundation, which is now highly relevant to our next chapter.”
“The EIB’s decision to defer our next payment gives us added financial flexibility, and we are now working toward a final settlement that we expect would meaningfully reduce our debt. This is a major positive step toward strengthening our balance sheet and would allow us, upon successful completion of the settlement, to direct more of our resources into building the long-term BrenX platform,” Brenmiller added.
“Brenmiller is evolving from primarily selling thermal batteries into BrenX—an integrated industrial energy developer and provider focused on developing, owning and optimizing energy assets under long-term commercial structures. As the business model changes, it is both natural and necessary that the capital structure evolves with it,” he added.
“We believe that successfully completing this process would connect the EIB’s original contribution to Brenmiller’s industrial foundation with the Company’s next stage of growth. It would help us build on the gigafactory, our technology and our operating experience as we work to establish BrenX as a leading integrated industrial energy company,” he concluded.
The Company and the EIB are continuing to work constructively toward a definitive agreement. Brenmiller believes that successfully completing the process could materially strengthen its balance sheet and give it greater financial flexibility to execute the BrenX growth strategy. The discussions remain ongoing, and there can be no assurance regarding the timing, final terms or completion of any definitive arrangement.
