To
Our Stockholders:
The
Board of Directors of Waste Energy Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has approved,
and is soliciting your written consent to approve, an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number
of authorized shares of common stock from 400,000,000 shares to 1,600,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Share Amendment”).
This solicitation is being conducted by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders, as permitted under Nevada law and
the Company’s governing documents.
The
record date for determining stockholders entitled to execute and deliver written consents is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September
18, 2026 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, 329,375,344 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued
and outstanding and entitled to act by written consent. Common stock is the Company’s only outstanding class entitled to vote on
the proposal, and each share is entitled to one vote.
This
definitive Consent Solicitation Statement and the accompanying definitive Consent Card are expected to be first sent or given to stockholders
on or about September 21, 2026.
Your
consent is important regardless of the number of shares you own. We urge you to read this definitive Consent Solicitation Statement carefully
and return the enclosed Consent Card promptly.
THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CONSENT FOR THE AUTHORIZED SHARE AMENDMENT.
By
Order of the Board of Directors

President and Chief Executive Officer

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE CONSENT SOLICITATION
Why
am I receiving these materials? The Board of Directors is soliciting your written consent to approve the Authorized Share Amendment
without a stockholders’ meeting, as permitted under Section 78.320(2) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and Section
2.11 of the Company’s Bylaws. NRS 78.320(2) permits action without a meeting through written consent signed by stockholders holding
at least a majority of the voting power unless a different proportion applies. The Authorized Share Amendment is also subject to NRS
78.390, which governs amendments to the articles of incorporation.
What
am I being asked to consent to? A single matter: the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase authorized
common stock from 400,000,000 to 1,600,000,000 shares. No other matter is being submitted through this solicitation. The Board’s
commitment concerning reverse stock splits described below is not a separate proposal and does not require a separate stockholder vote.
Who
is entitled to consent? Stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 18, 2026. As of the Record Date,
329,375,344 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to act by written consent. Common stock is the Company’s
only outstanding voting class, and each share is entitled to one vote.
What
vote is required to approve the Authorized Share Amendment? Approval by written consent requires valid written consents from holders
of at least a majority of the voting power entitled to act as of the Record Date. Based on 329,375,344 shares outstanding and
entitled to consent on the Record Date, the Company must receive valid affirmative consents representing at least 164,687,673
shares.
When
can I submit my consent? You may submit your consent after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 18, 2026, and after receiving this
definitive Consent Solicitation Statement and the accompanying definitive Consent Card. No consent delivered before the Record Date or
before the definitive materials were furnished will be solicited or counted by the Company.
How do I consent? If you are a stockholder
of record as of the Record Date, you may request an electronic copy of the definitive Consent Card by emailing ir@wec.eco. Complete,
sign and date the definitive Consent Card and return the completed Consent Card electronically to ir@wec.eco in accordance with the instructions
provided on the card. The Company is conducting this solicitation electronically and has not retained a proxy solicitation or consent
tabulation agent. The Company will determine the validity and voting power represented by returned consents using its stock ledger and
transfer-agent records as of the Record Date. If your shares are held through a broker, bank or other nominee in “street name,”
you are not the holder of record and should follow the instructions provided by the record holder or obtain a valid legal proxy or other
authority before submitting the Company’s record-holder Consent Card electronically.
What
happens if I sign and return the Consent Card without marking a box? If you sign, date and return the Consent Card without marking
FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN, the card will be treated as a consent FOR the Authorized Share Amendment, as stated in bold on the Consent Card.
Can
I revoke my consent after I deliver it? Yes. You may revoke a previously delivered consent at any time before the Company receives
consents sufficient to approve the Authorized Share Amendment by delivering a later-dated, signed written revocation to the Company at
the address above.
What
happens once sufficient consents are received? Once the Company receives valid written consents representing the required voting
power, the Authorized Share Amendment will be deemed approved by stockholder action without a meeting. No stockholder meeting or additional
stockholder vote on the Authorized Share Amendment will be required. The Company then intends to file the applicable certificate of amendment
with the Nevada Secretary of State, and the increase in authorized common stock will become effective upon the effectiveness of that
filing.
Who
pays for this solicitation? The Company will bear the cost of preparing and conducting the solicitation. The Company expects to solicit
consents directly from stockholders of record through its directors, officers and employees by mail, telephone, e-mail or personal contact,
without additional compensation for those activities. The Company has not retained a proxy solicitation or consent tabulation agent for
this solicitation.
THE
PROPOSAL: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
The
Board of Directors is asking stockholders to consent to an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the
number of authorized shares of common stock from 400,000,000 shares to 1,600,000,000 shares. The par value of the Company’s common
stock would remain $0.001 per share.
Reasons
for the Amendment. The Board believes the current authorization does not provide sufficient flexibility for the Company’s existing
and anticipated financing and conversion obligations, working-capital needs, compensation obligations, and planned operating growth.
Management
presently estimates that approximately $500,000 of additional capital may be required in the near term to service existing debt and complete
commissioning and related development of the Company’s initial waste-conversion system.
Additional
authorized shares may be used, subject to Board approval and applicable law, for working capital, debt service or restructuring, satisfaction
of contractual and conversion obligations, completion and expansion of waste-conversion operations, compensation, future financings,
acquisitions or strategic transactions, and other lawful corporate purposes.
Effect
on Stockholders. Approval would authorize additional shares but would not itself issue any shares or change the number of shares
currently outstanding. Future issuances could dilute the voting power, ownership percentage and economic interests of existing stockholders.
Except where stockholder approval is required by law or the Company’s governing documents, the Board generally may issue authorized
shares without further stockholder approval.
The
availability of additional authorized shares could also have an anti-takeover or control effect if shares were issued in a manner that
diluted the voting power of a person seeking control of the Company. The Board is not proposing the increase for that purpose.
No
Reverse Stock Split Before January 1, 2028. If the Authorized Share Amendment is approved and becomes effective, the Board intends
to adopt a formal resolution providing that through December 31, 2027 the Company will not propose, recommend, seek stockholder approval
for, approve, file or implement a reverse stock split. Accordingly, under those conditions, the Company will not pursue a reverse stock
split before January 1, 2028.
Effectiveness.
If the Company receives the required stockholder consent, the Company intends to file the applicable certificate of amendment with
the Nevada Secretary of State. The increase will become effective upon the effectiveness of that filing.
Dissenters’
or Appraisal Rights. The Company does not believe that stockholders are entitled to statutory appraisal or dissenters’ rights
solely as a result of the proposed increase in authorized common stock. NRS Chapter 92A provides dissenters’ rights for specified
transactions and other circumstances not presented by this proposal, subject to any rights separately provided by the Company’s
governing documents.
THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CONSENT TO THE AUTHORIZED SHARE AMENDMENT.
INTEREST
OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE PROPOSAL
Directors
and executive officers do not currently have interests in the Authorized Share Amendment that differ materially from those of stockholders
generally with respect to the previously disclosed management-related share issuances. All such shares have now been issued and are included
in the Company’s outstanding common stock. Accordingly, approval of the Authorized Share Amendment is not required to complete
those issuances. The proposed increase is intended to provide the Company with additional flexibility for future financings, working
capital, debt service, acquisitions, strategic transactions, compensation and other lawful corporate purposes.
Approval of the Authorized Share Amendment does not itself approve or issue any shares. The Board has separately approved the management-related
transactions described below.
221
Cap, LLC and Scott Gallagher. In August 2026, the disinterested directors approved a three-year Executive Consulting and Management
Services Agreement with 221 Cap, LLC, an entity controlled by Scott Gallagher. The agreement provides for an annual consulting fee of
$240,000, performance-based bonuses, a one-time restricted stock award of 15,000,000 shares, and an election to receive up to $40,000
per year of the annual fee in shares at the applicable market price. The 15,000,000-share award vests 5,000,000 shares on September 1,
2026, 5,000,000 shares on September 1, 2027 and 5,000,000 shares on September 1, 2028. Mr. Gallagher disclosed his interest and abstained
from the Board’s approval of the agreement and stock award. As of the Record Date, 15,000,000 shares were held of record by 221
Cap, LLC, which is controlled by Mr. Gallagher.
Gallagher
Obligation Conversion. Separately, the disinterested directors approved the conversion and satisfaction of $37,500 of amounts owed
to Mr. Gallagher at an agreed conversion price of $0.005 per share, resulting in 7,500,000 shares of common stock. The shares have
been issued to Mr. Gallagher. Mr. Gallagher disclosed his interest and abstained. As of the Record Date, Mr. Gallagher beneficially
owned or controlled an aggregate of 24,280,714 shares of common stock, including the 15,000,000 shares held by 221 Cap, LLC.
EnergyFX.
The Board approved a $15,000 first full-year performance and service bonus to EnergyFX, payable in lieu of cash through the issuance
of 2,500,000 shares of common stock. W. Scott McBride disclosed his affiliation and financial interest in EnergyFX and abstained from
approval of the transaction. As of the Record Date, 2,500,000 shares were held by EnergyFX, a company controlled by Mr. McBride.
W.
Scott McBride Obligation Conversion. The disinterested directors approved conversion of $30,000 of accrued or unpaid compensation
owed to Mr. McBride at $0.005 per share, resulting in 6,000,000 shares of common stock. Mr. McBride disclosed his financial interest
and abstained from approval of the transaction. This corrects the preliminary Consent Solicitation Statement, which inadvertently stated
$27,500 and 5,500,000 shares. As of the Record Date, Mr. McBride beneficially owned or controlled 8,820,000 shares, consisting of 6,000,000
shares held directly, 2,500,000 shares held by EnergyFX, which he controls, and 320,000 shares held in the name of his wife, Michelle
McBride.

STOCKHOLDER
PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

14a-8 must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send
its proxy materials for that meeting. The Company will announce or disclose applicable deadlines for proposals submitted outside Rule
14a-8, director nominations, and notices under Rule 14a-19 when the date of the next annual meeting is established. Stockholder submissions
should be sent to Waste Energy Corp., 3250 Oakland Hills Court, Fairfield, California 94534, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
