On February 18, 2026, Fusion Fuel Green PLC, an Irish public limited company (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated as of February 18, 2026, among the Company and certain shareholders (the “RU Shareholders”) of Royal Uranium Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (“Royal Uranium”).

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the RU Shareholders will sell up to 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Royal Uranium (78,581,029 common shares) to the Company in exchange for up to 3,750,025 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company with nominal value $0.0035 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) or pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to subscribe for up to such number of Class A Ordinary Shares (at an exercise price per share equal to the nominal value of the shares) in lieu of the Class A Ordinary Shares to the extent that the allotment of Class A Ordinary Shares would result in such shareholders’ beneficial ownership of shares in the Company exceeding 9.99% of the issued share capital of the Company (the “Securities Exchange”). The Securities Exchange will result in Royal Uranium becoming a subsidiary of the Company. The Share Exchange Agreement provides that Royal Uranium is valued at $15,000,000.

 

The closing of the Securities Exchange (the “Closing”) will take place electronically on the third business day following satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to consummate the Securities Exchange or such other date and time as the parties may mutually determine. The Share Exchange Agreement provides that if, within 30 days following the date of the Share Exchange Agreement, subject to extension by agreement between the Company and Anthony Milewski and Mark Schipperheijn (each of whom is an RU Shareholder, and together, the “Representative Shareholders”), RU Shareholders holding not less than 75% of the issued shares in Royal Uranium have not signed the Share Exchange Agreement or a joinder thereto, the Company may elect to implement the Securities Exchange by way of a plan of arrangement or in such other manner as may be permitted by Canadian law.

 

The Closing is subject to certain conditions, including: (i) that no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Securities Exchange shall be in effect; (ii) that RU Shareholders holding not less than 75% of the issued shares in Royal Uranium shall have signed the Share Exchange Agreement or executed a joinder thereto; (iii) that the Company shall have obtained the requisite shareholder approval as required by the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997, Takeover Rules, 2022 (the “Takeover Rules”); (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties in all material respects; (v) compliance by the parties with their covenants and agreements in all material respects; and (vi) the absence of any material adverse effect on either Royal Uranium or the Company since the date of the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

From and after the date of the Share Exchange Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company, Royal Uranium, and each RU Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage, negotiate, accept or discuss any transaction or series of transactions with any person involving any sale of substantially all of the assets or capital stock of Royal Uranium or the Company to another acquirer (an “Alternative Acquisition”), (ii) provide information with respect to a party to any person relating to a possible Alternative Acquisition, (iii) enter into an agreement with any person providing for a possible Alternative Acquisition, or (iv) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any possible Alternative Acquisition. If any party receives any unsolicited offer, inquiry or proposal relating to an Alternative Acquisition, such party must promptly notify the other parties thereof.

 

The Company is required to prepare a draft circular to shareholders containing notice of an extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”) and information regarding the Securities Exchange as required by the Takeover Rules. The Company must furnish a draft of the circular to the Representative Shareholders for review within five business days of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement, submit the draft circular to the Irish Takeover Panel within three business days of receipt of input from the Representative Shareholders, and commence mailing to shareholders within five business days of the Irish Takeover Panel providing confirmation that the circular satisfies the necessary requirements under the Takeover Rules. The Company is required to use all reasonable endeavors to procure that the EGM is held, and shareholder approval of the Securities Exchange is obtained, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

The Share Exchange Agreement includes lock-up restrictions on the RU Shareholders with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares. RU Shareholders (or RU Shareholders who are affiliates) who receive more than 25,000 Class A Ordinary Shares are subject to restrictions prohibiting the transfer, sale, pledge, or other disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares as follows: (i) 100% of the Class A Ordinary Shares for six months from the date of the Share Exchange Agreement; (ii) two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares for 12 months from the date of the Share Exchange Agreement; and (iii) one-third of the Class A Ordinary Shares for 18 months from the date of the Share Exchange Agreement. RU Shareholders (together with their affiliates) who receive 25,000 Class A Ordinary Shares or fewer will be released from such restrictions after six months following the date of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company will be required to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Class A Ordinary Shares within 20 business days of the expiration of such lock-up restrictions.

 

 

 

The Share Exchange Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing: (i) by mutual written agreement of the Representative Shareholders and the Company; (ii) by either party if the other party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement resulting in or reasonably expected to result in a material adverse effect or would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Securities Exchange; (iii) by any party if all conditions to such party’s obligations have not been satisfied or waived on or before the date falling 12 months from the date of the Share Exchange Agreement; or (iv) by any party if a permanent injunction or other order preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Securities Exchange has been issued and has become final and non-appealable.

 

In addition, the Share Exchange Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, limitations of liability, and indemnification provisions, and customary covenants.

 

Under each Mineral & Element Advisory Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2026 (collectively the “Advisory Agreements”), between the Company and each of three other parties (the “Advisors”), the Share Exchange Agreement will constitute a Definitive Agreement (as defined in the Advisory Agreements). The Advisory Agreements were disclosed in the Company’s Report on Form 6-K furnished with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2026 (the “Prior Form 6-K”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreements and at the election of the Advisors, the Company will issue 95,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and customary pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 142,500 Class A Ordinary Shares to the Advisors in the form attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Prior Form 6-K (“Advisor Pre-Funded Warrants”), on the first trading day after the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement, and such Class A Ordinary Shares and Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Advisor Pre-Funded Warrants will be subject to certain registration requirements, as further disclosed in the Prior Form 6-K.

 

Prior to the entry into the Share Exchange Agreement, there were no material relationships between the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates, including any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any director or officer of the Company, and any of the RU Shareholders, except that Anthony Milewski, an RU Shareholder, purchased $250,000 of the securities purchased under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2026, between the Company and certain investors, which was previously disclosed in the Prior Form 6-K, and is also an Advisor under one of the Advisory Agreements.

 

The form of Pre-Funded Warrants and the form of Share Exchange Agreement are furnished as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 6-K, respectively, and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibit.

 

The offer and sale of securities described above is being conducted as a private placement pursuant to and in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering.

 

On February 18, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had entered into the Share Exchange Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.

 

 

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and the statements contained therein include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “future,” “continue,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements relating to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available to the Company as of today’s date and are not guarantees of the future performance of the Company, and actual results may vary materially from the results and expectations discussed. The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, without limitation, the parties’ ability to complete the Share Exchange, the Company’s ability to integrate Royal Uranium into its business, the ability of the parties to obtain Irish regulatory approval and any other required third-party consents and approvals in connection with the Share Exchange, obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders, and to meet all other closing conditions; the realization of revenues from the assets of Royal Uranium, including its uranium and natural gas royalties, which may depend on, among other things, the degree of success in obtaining regulatory acceptance of, and market demand for, uranium and natural gas as sources of energy; competition from existing or new offerings that may emerge; impacts from strategic changes to the Company’s business on net sales, revenues, income from continuing operations, or other results of operations; the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient funding to maintain operations and develop additional services and offerings; and the risks and uncertainties described under Item 3. “Key Information – D. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 9, 2025 (the “Annual Report”), and other filings with the SEC. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions about the Company’s business and the commercial markets in which the Company operates prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described as anticipated, estimated or expected in the Annual Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof, except as required by law.

PRE-FUNDED ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE WARRANT

 

FUSION FUEL GREEN PLC

 

Warrant Shares: [__]  

 

This PRE-FUNDED ORDINARY SHARES PURCHASE WARRANT (this “Warrant”), dated [__], 2026, certifies that, for value received, [__] or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time from and after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and until this Warrant is exercised in full (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Fusion Fuel Green PLC, a public limited company incorporated in Ireland (the “Company”), up to [__] Class A ordinary shares of the Company, with a nominal value of $0.0035 each (a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”) (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1. [Reserved]

 

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by email (or email attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date the Holder delivers the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver to the Holder any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. For purposes hereof, a “Trading Day” is a day on which the Shares are traded on a Trading Market.

 

 

 

b) Exercise Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.0035 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.0035 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price per Share under this Warrant shall be $0.0035 (the “Exercise Price”).

 

“Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the OTCQX, or the OTCQB.

 

c) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). provided, however, that if payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received after 12:00 P.M., New York City time on the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Warrant Share Delivery Date shall be extended by one (1) additional Trading Day. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date following the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

2

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

viii. [Reserved]

 

d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates (such persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred share or warrants, including other Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not have an obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) reclassification of its shares solely into another class of shares then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted solely to maintain the holder’s proportionate interest such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) The Holder shall not be entitled to participate in any cash dividends, distributions of assets, spin-offs, rights offerings, or other corporate distributions made to holders of Shares, except for strictly proportional adjustments to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares required under Section 3(b). No other adjustment shall be made under this Section 3(b).

 

c) In the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other transaction in which the Company’s Shares are converted solely into the right to receive other equity securities of the Company or its successor, this Warrant shall be adjusted only as strictly required to preserve the Holder’s proportional interest as set forth in Section 3(c). No cash, property, or other non-equity consideration shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, and no adjustment shall be made based on market value, intrinsic value, or economic equivalence. The successor entity shall assume this Warrant solely with respect to delivering a fixed number of equity securities upon exercise.

 

d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made by the Company to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

4

 

e) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its material subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Shares are converted into other securities, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Shares for securities, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the material subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file or furnish such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report on Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash.

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its constitution or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company and the Holder agree that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against the Company, the Holder or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. The Company and the Holder each irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. The Company and the Holder each irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If the Company or the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

7

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Non-waiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.

 

h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Exhibit 10.1

 

SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February ____ 2026, by and among Fusion Fuel Green Public Limited Company, a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Ireland and having its shares listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange (the “Company”), and the shareholders of Royal Uranium Inc. who are signatories to this Agreement, together with all shareholders that sign a joinder to this Agreement to become bound by the terms hereof (collectively, the “RU Shareholders”), a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (“Royal Uranium”). Capitalised terms used in this Agreement are defined in Annex 1 attached hereto.

 

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to acquire Royal Uranium and the RU Shareholders wish to exchange their shares in Royal Uranium for shares in the Company;

 

WHEREAS, for the purposes of the acquisition and calculation of the consideration, Royal Uranium is valued at USD 15,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”);

 

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, it is agreed that the RU Shareholders will sell up to one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Royal Uranium issued and outstanding as at the Closing Date, being 78,581,029 common shares (the “Royal Uranium Shares”), to the Company, in consideration for the allotment and issuance by the Company to the RU Shareholders of up to 3,750,025 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, in accordance with each RU Shareholder’s respective allocation as set out in Annex 2 (the “HTOO Shares”) (the “Share Exchange”) (the “Transaction”);

 

WHEREAS, immediately following the closing of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall own up to one hundred percent (100%) of the share capital and voting rights of Royal Uranium and thus Royal Uranium shall become a subsidiary of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, both the board of directors of the Company and of Royal Uranium have each determined that it is desirable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders of their respective companies to effect the Share Exchange;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1

 

ARTICLE I

 

1. EXCHANGE OF SHARES

 

1.1 Exchange of Shares

 

At the Closing: (i) each RU Shareholder shall sell, transfer, convey and deliver to the Company the Royal Uranium Shares it owns free and clear of all Liens, in consideration for which the Company shall allot and issue to each such RU Shareholder the HTOO Shares, free and clear of all Liens (other than the restrictions imposed by Section 7 of this Agreement), in the proportions set out in Annex 2; and (ii) each party shall deliver any other closing deliverables required by this Agreement, including the certificates (if any) or instruments evidencing the transfer of the Royal Uranium Shares.

 

Each RU Shareholder may elect to receive pre-funded warrants to subscribe for shares in the Company (at an exercise price per share equal to the nominal value of the shares) in lieu of the HTOO Shares but only to the extent that the allotment to any of them of HTOO Shares would result in their beneficial holding of shares in the Company exceeding 9.99% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such right of election shall only exist in respect of such number of shares in the Company as would result in their beneficial holding exceeding the aforementioned 9.99% threshold, and the aforementioned RU Shareholders shall be required to accept the allotment of HTOO Shares pursuant to this Agreement up to such 9.99% threshold.

 

1.2 Closing

 

The closing (the “Closing”) of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall take place electronically on the third Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of all conditions and obligations of the parties to consummate the Transaction contemplated hereby (other than conditions and obligations with respect to the actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”). All documents shall be exchanged electronically in portable document format (.pdf), or other mutually agreed electronic format, save for documents required by law or as otherwise agreed by the parties to be delivered in hard copy at the offices of the counsel to the Company. Electronic delivery of documents shall be deemed effective upon transmission to the email addresses specified in Section 10.1.

 

1.3 Company Election

 

If, within a period of 30 days following the date of this Agreement (subject to such extension as may be agreed between the Company and the Representative Shareholders), RU Shareholders holding not less than 75% of the issued shares in the capital of Royal Uranium have not signed this Agreement or a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached as Annex 3 to this Agreement, the Company may elect to implement the Transaction by way of a plan of arrangement or in such other manner as may be permitted by Canadian Law (subject in all instances to such corporate and shareholder approvals as may be required on the part of the Company and the RU Shareholders), rather than by way of the Share Exchange.

(e) The amount of any Losses that a RU Shareholder shall be liable for shall be reduced to the extent that the Company, its Affiliates and/or each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents realizes any Tax benefit resulting from the event or circumstances giving rise to such Losses. The amount of any Losses that the Company shall be liable for shall be reduced to the extent that any RU Shareholder, its Affiliates and/or each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents realizes any Tax benefit resulting from the event or circumstances giving rise to such Losses.

 

(f) A RU Shareholder shall not be liable to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to applicable Laws for any Losses sustained by the Company, directly or indirectly, resulting from or relating to, any inaccuracy in or breach of representation or warranty if the Company had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the date of this Agreement (or, in respect of the representations and warranties deemed repeated at Closing by virtue of Section 6.2(c)), prior to Closing), nor shall a RU Shareholder liable for any claim if and to the extent that the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the claim was disclosed to the Company in the Royal Uranium Data Room. The Company shall not be liable to a RU Shareholder under this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to applicable Laws for any Losses sustained by such RU Shareholder, directly or indirectly, resulting from or relating to, any inaccuracy in or breach of representation or warranty if the RU Shareholder or a Representative Shareholder had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the date of this Agreement (or, in respect of the representations and warranties deemed repeated at Closing by virtue of Section 6.3(b)), prior to Closing), nor shall the Company be liable for any claim if and to the extent that the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the claim was disclosed to the RU Shareholder or a Representative Shareholder or was otherwise disclosed in any public announcements made by the Company.

(ii) the liability of a RU Shareholder or in connection with this Agreement exceed the lesser of (i) the value of the HTOO Shares issued to such RU Shareholder on the Closing Date by reference to the details set out in Annex 2 and in this Section 9.5 and with such value being calculated pursuant to Section 9.5(i); and (ii) the RU Shareholder’s pro rata portion of the Losses;

(i) the factual basis for the claim; and

 

(ii) the amount of the claim, or, if an amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the potential amount of the claim (to the extent ascertainable).

 

(b) Following receipt of a Claim Notice from a Claiming Party, the Responding Party shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the claim as the Responding Party considers necessary or desirable (subject to any business or operational limitations, any confidentiality obligations and the need to preserve legal privilege). For the purpose of such investigation, the Claiming Party shall make reasonably available to the Responding Party during normal business hours the information relied upon by the Claiming Party to substantiate the claim and the personnel of the Claiming Party with knowledge regarding the subject matter of the claim. If the Claiming Party and the Responding Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of the claim, the Responding Party shall satisfy such obligations within 15 days of reaching such agreement. If the Claiming Party and the Responding Party do not agree within such period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Responding Party and the Claiming Party agree that the parties will refer such matter to arbitration pursuant to Section 10.10, and once the claim is finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to Section 10.10, the Responding Parties shall satisfy the obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication.

9.7 Duty to Mitigate; Insurance

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at Law of a Claiming Party to mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by a Responding Party of any representation, warranty, or covenant under this Agreement; and a Claiming Party shall be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery, settlement, or otherwise from any other person. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent any applicable Losses are reasonably likely to be recovered through any insurance policies, indemnities, or other reimbursement arrangements maintained or held by a Claiming Party, its Affiliates and/or each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents, then the Claiming Party shall (and shall procure that its Affiliates and its and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents) use commercially reasonable efforts to make a claim and collect under such policies, and the amount of Losses suffered or incurred by the Claiming Party in respect of such claim shall be deemed to be reduced by any amounts actually received by the Claiming Party, its Affiliates and/or each of their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents under such policies as a result of the applicable matter giving rise to the applicable Losses, less any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such recoveries, including any deductibles, if applicable.

 

9.8 Double Recovery

 

A Claiming Party shall not be entitled to double recovery for any claim even though the claim may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by the Responding Party in this Agreement. If the amount of any Losses incurred by a Claiming Party at any time subsequent to the receipt of a payment by the Responding Party under this Agreement is reduced by any recovery, settlement, or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement, or payment by or against any other person, the Claiming Party shall promptly notify the Responding Party in writing of the nature and amount of such reduction (and any costs, expenses or premiums directly incurred in connection therewith), and the amount of such reduction (less any such costs, expenses or premiums) shall promptly be paid by the Claiming Party to the Responding Party.

 

9.9 Exclusive Remedy

 

Save in the case of fraud, the provisions of this Article 9 (together with any other Article or Section referred to herein) constitute the sole monetary remedy available to the parties in respect of any claim for breach of covenants, representation, warranty or other obligation or provision of this Agreement and in respect of any and all other indemnities provided in this Agreement.

The arbitrator shall endeavor to make a decision within forty-five (45) days after its appointment, subject to any reasonable delay due to unavoidable circumstances. Any decision by the arbitrator shall follow and apply the Laws applicable to this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.11. The expense of the arbitration, including travel costs, expert witness and legal fees and costs shall be paid as determined in the discretion of the arbitrator, having due regard for the outcome of the arbitration and the relationship of the result to the positions taken by the Claimant and the Respondent.

Fusion Fuel Inks Transformational Agreement to Acquire a Portfolio of Nineteen High-Quality Uranium & Gas Royalties Based in the Americas

 

Acquisition is expected to provide key exposure to uranium and natural gas markets, both experiencing some of the highest growth in global demand due to their roles in energy security, decarbonization, and the rising power needs of AI-driven data centers
   
Portfolio includes sixteen (16) uranium and three (3) natural gas royalties being developed and explored by industry leaders such as Cameco, IsoEnergy, Uranium Energy Corp., among others

 

Dublin, February 18, 2026 — Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ:HTOO) (“Fusion Fuel” or the “Company”), an integrated green energy engineering, distribution, and solutions provider, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Royal Uranium Inc. (“Royal Uranium”), a diversified portfolio of uranium royalties spanning the exploration and development sectors of the mining cycle (the “Portfolio”), in a strategic share exchange transaction.

 

This acquisition is expected to provide Fusion Fuel with direct exposure to one of the most compelling and increasingly fundamental asset classes supporting global energy security and the rapid expansion of AI-driven infrastructure and the nuclear power required to support it.

 

A Strategic Entry into Clean Energy Royalties

 

By gaining meaningful exposure to sixteen (16) uranium and three (3) natural gas royalties in the Americas, Fusion Fuel believes that it is poised to secure long-term economic participation in the energy sources increasingly required to power AI infrastructure, electrification and global decarbonization. The acquisition is expected to position Fusion Fuel at the intersection of three powerful structural trends:

 

1. The accelerating global demand for electricity driven by the need for enhanced power security and the increasing demand from AI and data center infrastructure;
     
2. A growing structural supply deficit in uranium, alongside a renewed global commitment to nuclear energy as a critical source for reliable, low-carbon baseload power; and
     
3. An increasing strategic focus on secure, regional access to critical energy materials, particularly within the Americas, as governments and industries prioritize supply chain resilience, energy independence and regional security.

 

Global data center power demand is expected to grow more than 160% by 2030, with AI-related power demand projected to increase materially over the balance of the decade.1 At the same time, uranium demand is forecast to increase significantly through 2040, with supply growth lagging demand, creating a structural deficit environment.2 The Portfolio includes royalties from some of the globe’s most significant uranium miners operating projects located in world-class uranium districts, including:

High-Quality Uranium Exposure in Tier-One Jurisdictions with World Class Partners

 

 

The Athabasca Basin, one of the world’s highest-grade uranium regions;
     
The advanced-stage Berlin Project in Colombia, with historical resources and meaningful expansion potential; and
     
Additional projects across Argentina and Newfoundland and Labrador.

 

Immediate Cash Flow and Energy Diversification

 

The diversified royalty base is expected to provide exposure across multiple uranium operations, development stages and jurisdictions — while avoiding direct operating risk and capital intensity typically associated with mining companies.

 

In addition to uranium royalties, the Portfolio includes producing Alberta natural gas royalties that are operating and already generate cash flow. Natural gas provides reliable, dispatchable baseload power and complements nuclear energy in supporting expanding data center infrastructure.

 

These producing royalties are expected to provide near-term revenue while maintaining leverage to long-term structural energy demand growth.

 

A Capital-Efficient, High-Margin Business Model

 

The royalty structure is expected to provide Fusion Fuel with:

 

Long-term revenue participation without operating cost exposure;
     
No capital expenditure obligations;
     
High-margin, scalable cash flow potential; and
     
Embedded leverage to uranium and natural gas price appreciation.

 

As uranium markets move deeper into structural supply deficits and nuclear energy regains global policy support, the embedded optionality within this royalty Portfolio has the potential to significantly enhance shareholder value.

 

 

 

Transformational Impact for Fusion Fuel

 

This acquisition is expected to materially strengthen Fusion Fuel’s strategic positioning and significantly enhance its exposure to a rapidly appreciating and increasingly essential asset class.

 

By securing a diversified Portfolio of clean energy royalties, Fusion Fuel is expected to:

 

Enter a supply-constrained commodity cycle with strong structural fundamentals;
     
Align with long-term global electrification and AI infrastructure growth;
     
Establish a scalable platform for additional royalty acquisitions; and
     
Enhance long-term asset value and enterprise optionality.

 

Management believes this transaction represents a foundational step in building a differentiated clean energy royalty platform focused on powering the next generation of global energy demand.

 

Company Insights

 

“By agreeing to acquire exposure to uranium and clean energy royalties, we are entering an asset class that is experiencing strong structural growth and is increasingly central to global energy development,” said JP Backwell, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Fuel. “As electrification accelerates and AI-driven infrastructure continues to expand, reliable and scalable clean energy sources, in particular nuclear energy, are expected to play a critical role. We believe this acquisition meaningfully enhances our long-term strategic positioning and supports our ambition to meaningfully participate in the energy systems that will underpin future global growth. As we move forward, our aim is to expand on this strong starting Portfolio in the uranium and nuclear related industries.”

 

Frederico Figueira de Chaves, Fusion Fuel’s Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer, noted, “We believe this acquisition is highly compelling from both a financial and strategic standpoint. The Portfolio comprises high-quality royalty assets that offer attractive long-term optionality. Importantly, these assets are expected to provide exposure to potential upside without requiring additional capital investment by the Company. In addition, we believe this positions Fusion Fuel to be a valuable and strong option for those interested in exposure to the expected growth for the nuclear industry and energy transition in general. This transaction reflects our disciplined, capital-efficient approach to value creation, and we intend to continue to evaluate and cultivate similar strategic opportunities as we build and expand our clean energy royalty platform.”
