Brenmiller Energy (NASDAQ: BNRG) sets vote on reverse split
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Brenmiller Energy Ltd. is calling a Special General Meeting of shareholders on March 31, 2026 to vote on authorizing a potential future reverse split of its outstanding ordinary shares at a ratio of up to 6:1. If approved, the board of directors could, at its discretion and on a date it later selects, consolidate up to six existing shares into one new share to help the company comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
The reverse split would reduce the number of issued and outstanding ordinary shares but keep authorized share capital unchanged, adjust conversion or exercise terms of preferred shares, options, RSUs, restricted shares and warrants proportionally, and is intended to affect all shareholders uniformly without changing relative ownership or voting rights. No fractional shares would be issued, with holdings rounded to the nearest whole share.

- None.
Negative

Brenmiller Energy Ltd.
Notice of SPECIAL General Meeting of shareholders
Notice is hereby given that a Special General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (the “Company”) will be held on March 31, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Israel time, at the Company’s office, located at 13 Amal St. 4th Floor, Park Afek, Rosh Haayin, 4809249 Israel.
The following matters are on the agenda for the Meeting:
1. To approve a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a ratio of up to 6:1, to be in effect, if effected at the discretion of, and at such date to be determined by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).
Board Recommendation
Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the above proposed resolution, which is described in the attached proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”).
Record Date
Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2026 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, either in person or by appointing a proxy to vote in their stead at the Meeting (as detailed below).
Required Vote and Voting Procedures
Pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”), Proposal No. 1 described hereinafter, requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes actually cast by shareholders with respect to such proposal (a “Simple Majority”).
How You Can Vote
A form of proxy for use at the Meeting is attached to the Proxy Statement and a voting instruction form, together with a return envelope, will be sent to holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. By appointing “proxies,” shareholders may vote at the Meeting whether or not they attend. Subject to applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, in the absence of instructions, the Ordinary Shares represented by properly executed and received proxies will be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution to be presented at the Meeting for which the Board recommends a vote “FOR”.
Shareholders may revoke their proxies or voting instruction form (as applicable) in accordance with section 9 of the Companies Law Regulations (proxy and position statement), by filing with the Company a written notice of revocation or duly executed proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) bearing a later date and time.
Shareholders of record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to use the proxy card included with the Proxy Statement to grant your voting proxy directly to Mr. Ofir Zimmerman, Chief Financial Officer, or Mr. Avraham Brenmiller, Chief Executive Officer, of the Company and Chairman of the Board (e-mail addresses ofirz@bren-energy.com and avi@bren-energy.com, respectively) no later than March 31, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. Israel time, or to vote in person at the Meeting. Proxy cards received after the aforementioned time will not be tabulated.
2
Beneficial Owners
If your shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner with respect to those shares. A beneficial owner as of the Record Date has the right to direct the bank, broker or nominee how to vote shares held by such beneficial owner at the Meeting and must also provide the Company with a copy of their identity card, passport or certification of incorporation, as the case may be. If your shares were held in “street name” as of the Record Date, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, as the shareholder of record, together with a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker or nominee how to vote your shares. You also may attend the Meeting. Because a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote those shares directly at the Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares directly, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting. Absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion, among other things, with respect to Proposal No. 1. listed above, which we believe is considered as non-routine under applicable rules, and therefore, a “broker non-vote” occurs with respect to such uninstructed shares. Therefore, it is important for a shareholder that holds Ordinary Shares through a bank or broker to instruct its bank or broker how to vote its shares if the shareholder wants its shares to count for the proposal.
Voting Results
The final voting results will be tallied by the Company, in consultation with its legal counsel, based on the information provided by VStock Transfer, LLC or otherwise, and the overall results of the Meeting will be published following the Meeting in a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K that will be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

BRENMILLER ENERGY LTD.
ROSH HAAYIN, ISRAEL
PROXY STATEMENT
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MARCH 31, 2026
This Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is being solicited by the board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (the “Company”) for use at the Company’s special general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on March 31, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Israel time, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, at the Company’s office, located at 13 Amal St. 4th Floor, Park Afek, Rosh Haayin, 4809249 Israel (the “Company’s Offices”).
Upon the receipt of a properly executed proxy in the form enclosed, the persons named as proxies therein will vote the ordinary shares, no par value per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), covered thereby in accordance with the directions of the shareholders executing the proxy. In the absence of such directions, and except as otherwise mentioned in this Proxy Statement, the Ordinary Shares represented thereby will be voted in favor of the proposal described in this Proxy Statement.
Quorum and Adjournment
As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to comply with Israeli corporate governance practices instead of certain requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules (“Nasdaq” and the “Nasdaq Rules”, respectively), provided that we disclose those Nasdaq Rules with which we do not comply and the equivalent Israeli requirement that we follow instead (the “Foreign Private Issuer Exemption”). We currently rely on this Foreign Private Issuer Exemption with respect to the quorum requirement for meetings of our shareholders. As permitted under the Israeli Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the “Companies Law”) and in accordance with our amended and restated articles of association (the “Articles”), the presence of any two or more shareholders, personally or by proxy, holding (in the aggregate) not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares at the close of business on March 19, 2026 (the “Record Date”), shall constitute a quorum for the Meeting.
If within half an hour from the time the Meeting is convened a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall stand adjourned until March 31, 2026, at the Company’s Offices at 12:00 p.m. Israel time (the “Adjourned Meeting”). At the Adjourned Meeting any number of shareholders present personally or by proxy shall be deemed a quorum and shall be entitled to deliberate and to resolve in respect of the matters for which the Meeting was convened. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) are counted as Ordinary Shares present for the purpose of determining a quorum.
Vote Required for Approval of the Proposal
Pursuant to the Companies Law, Proposal No. 1 described hereinafter, requires the affirmative vote of shareholders present at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and holding Ordinary Shares of the Company amounting in the aggregate to at least a majority of the votes actually cast in person or by proxy by shareholders with respect to the proposal (a “Simple Majority”).

Proposals for additional agenda items

PROPOSAL 1
TO APPROVE A POTENTIAL FUTURE REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING ORDINARY SHARES AT A RATIO OF UP TO 6:1, TO BE IN EFFECT, IF EFFECTED, AT THE DISCRETION OF, AND AT SUCH DATE TO BE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD
The Company believes it is in the best interest of both the Company and its shareholders to secure shareholder approval for a reverse share split for the purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
On March 16, 2026, the Board approved, subject to the approval of the general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, a framework for a potential future adjustment of the Company’s share capital at a ratio of up to 1-for-6, with respect to the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, such that every up to six (6) Ordinary Shares shall be converted into one (1) Ordinary Share (the “Exchange Ratio”) and/or any Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to exercise or conversion of outstanding options, restricted share units, restricted shares and/or warrants issued by the Company, to be effected, if effected, at the discretion of, and at such date to be determined by the Board (the “Reverse Split”).
If the Reverse Split is approved, then the Board will have the authority, at its own discretion, to determine whether to effect the Reverse Split and the exact ratio and the effective date of the Reverse Split, subject to applicable Nasdaq Rules. Following such determination by the Board, the Company will issue a press release announcing the effective date and the ratio of the Reverse Split.
The Board believes that approval of a proposal providing the Board with this generalized grant of authority with respect to setting the Reverse Split ratio, rather than mere approval of a pre-defined reverse share split, will give the Board the flexibility to set the ratio in accordance with current market conditions and therefore allow the Board to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The implementation of the Reverse Split will result in the reduction of the number of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (up to 6:1), such that if the Reverse Split is approved, depending on the ratio, every up to six (6) Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, shall be converted into one (1) Ordinary Share. The Reverse Split, if effected, would not adjust the authorized share capital of the Company under its Articles, which, as of the date hereof consists of 150,000,000 Ordinary Shares.
In accordance with our Articles, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding unconverted preferred shares, no par value each (the “Preferred Shares”), shall not be reduced following the Reverse Split, instead, the Conversion Ratio of the Preferred Shares shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.
In addition, if the Reverse Split is effected, the exercise price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of any outstanding options, restricted share units, restricted shares and/or warrants will be proportionately adjusted pursuant to the terms of the respective securities in connection with the Reverse Split. Furthermore, upon completion of the Reverse Split, the number of Ordinary Shares and/or any options or restricted share units available for issuance under the Company’s 2013 Global Incentive Option Plan shall be appropriately adjusted.
The Reverse Split, if effected, will be effected simultaneously for all of the Company’s securities, and the Exchange Ratio will be the same for all securities (with the Exception of the Preferred Shares, which shall have their Conversion Ratio proportionally adjusted, as detailed above). The Reverse Split will affect all the Company’s shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, relative voting rights or other rights. Ordinary Shares resulting from the Reverse Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. In accordance with our Articles, all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole Ordinary Share, such that only shareholders holding fractional consolidated shares of more than half of the number of shares which consolidation constitutes one whole share, shall be entitled to receive one consolidated share.
Upon the implementation of the Reverse Split, the Company intends to treat shares held by shareholders through a bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding the Company’s Ordinary Shares in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians,
3
or other nominees may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Split. Shareholders who hold the Company’s Ordinary Shares with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any queries in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
While the Board believes that the potential advantages of a Reverse Split outweigh any actual or potential disadvantages, if the Company effects a Reverse Split there can be no assurance that (i) the Company’s Ordinary Shares will trade at a price in proportion to the decrease in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the Reverse Split; (ii) the liquidity of the Company’s Ordinary Shares will not be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding and available for trading after the Reverse Split; (iii) engaging in a Reverse Split will not be perceived in a negative manner by investors, analysts or other stock market participants; or (iv) the Reverse Split will not result in some shareholders owning “odd-lots” of fewer than 100 Ordinary Shares, potentially resulting in higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs than the commissions and costs of transactions in “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
THE U.S. AND ISRAELI TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT MAY DEPEND UPON THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH SHAREHOLDER. ACCORDINGLY, EACH SHAREHOLDER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT THE SHAREHOLDER’S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE SHAREHOLDER OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.
The Board believes that securing shareholder approval for the Reverse Split is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders.
The shareholders of the Company are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, to approve a potential future reverse share split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, at a ratio of up to 6:1, to be effected, if effected, at the discretion of, and on such date to be determined by the Board, as set forth in the Proxy Statement”.
The approval of this proposal, as described above, requires the affirmative vote of a Simple Majority (as defined in this Proxy Statement).
The Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the above proposal.
4
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters that may be presented at the Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters do properly come before the Meeting, including the authority to adjourn the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named as proxies will vote, pursuant to their discretionary authority, according to their best judgment in the interest of the Company.
Your vote is important!
Shareholders are urged to complete and return their proxies promptly in order to, among other things, ensure action by a quorum and to avoid the expense of additional solicitation. If the accompanying proxy is properly executed and returned in time for voting, and a choice is specified, the shares represented thereby will be voted as indicated thereon. EXCEPT AS MENTIONED OTHERWISE IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, IF NO SPECIFICATION IS MADE, THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.
