Fusion Fuel Announces Extraordinary General Meeting and Upcoming Board Changes
DUBLIN, Ireland, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ:HTOO) ("Fusion Fuel" or the "Company"), a leading provider of full-service energy engineering, advisory, and utility solutions, today announced that it will convene an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") of shareholders on November 6, 2025, at the offices of Arthur Cox LLP in Dublin, Ireland. The EGM will seek shareholder approval for several resolutions, including the election of two new members to the Company´s Board of Directors.
The Company is also seeking shareholder approval to delegate to the Board the authority to increase its authorized share capital and to implement such increase as it deems appropriate. This expanded authorization is intended to provide Fusion Fuel with greater flexibility to support potential large-scale strategic transactions currently under discussion, including opportunities related to both digital and commodity asset treasury initiatives. While the proposed authorization would allow the Company to participate in these discussions and evaluate prospective partnerships or financings, it does not in itself constitute, or guarantee the completion of, any specific transaction.
The Company proposes the appointment of Pierce Crosby and Steven Gold as Class II Directors.
Pierce Crosby currently serves as Managing Partner of Merchant Seven and previously held the position of General Manager of Enterprise & North America at TradingView Inc. He has extensive experience in scaling fintech platforms and advising growth-stage companies on strategic execution. The Board believes that Mr. Crosby's deep understanding of financial markets and emerging technologies will assist Fusion Fuel in executing its strategic initiatives and evaluating potential transactions.
Steven Gold has over 20 years of experience in the natural resources sector and currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Uranium Corp. He has previously held senior investment roles with Collecting Mining Ltd., Energold Drilling Corp., and Clarus Securities Inc., gaining expertise across both the buy- and sell-sides of the capital markets. Mr. Gold has advised and financed numerous mining and energy-transition companies, including those in the uranium industry. The Board believes that his extensive capital-markets and sector experience will provide valuable insight as Fusion Fuel advances its energy-solutions strategy.
Both Mr. Crosby and Mr. Gold are considered independent directors under Nasdaq rules. Their elections are subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming EGM.
In conjunction with these proposed appointments, Jeffrey Schwarz and Rune Lundetræ have informed the Company that they will step down from the Board following the EGM, at which time the new directors are expected to join. The Board and management wish to express their sincere appreciation to Mr. Schwarz and Mr. Lundetræ for their service and contributions to Fusion Fuel over the past five years. Their insight and steady leadership were critical in guiding the Company through its early development and in navigating the challenges arising from the 2024 investor breach of the Company's PIPE agreement, which necessitated a rapid restructuring and realignment of operations to safeguard the Company's long-term viability. As they conclude their tenure, both directors do so with the Board's full gratitude and mutual respect, having played an instrumental role in supporting the Company's mission and management team.
John-Paul Backwell, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Fuel, commented: "I want to sincerely thank Jeffrey and Rune for their dedication and guidance over the past five years. Their leadership was instrumental in shaping Fusion Fuel and steering the Company through a challenging restructuring. We're also delighted to welcome Pierce Crosby and Steven Gold as nominees to our Board — their experience across capital markets, fintech, and the energy sector will bring valuable insight as we continue to grow."
Speaking to the Company's strategic outlook, Mr. Backwell noted: "We're actively evaluating opportunities in the market, including digital and commodity asset treasury initiatives that could strengthen our strategic position. While there is no certainty any transaction will close, we see strong momentum and interest in the platform we've built, including the two transactions currently in progress."
Further details regarding the EGM, including the full text of the proposed resolutions, will be provided in the formal Notice of Meeting to be distributed to shareholders and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
