Attention: Kathryn O’Connor Gardner, Chair of the Board of Directors

October 21, 2024

Dear Ms. Gardner,

As recently as last week, GSE’s Board told shareholders that $4.10 per share was a great outcome without providing its forward-looking business projections for the Company to substantiate this claim. The Board’s behavior raised several questions including: how are shareholders expected to appropriately evaluate the deal without customary projections? And how did the Company’s advisors and directors conclude that the deal represented a fair offer?

Today, the Company has now disclosed that Pelican significantly raised its offer price to $4.60 per share – yet it still refuses to provide customary projections or reset the record date to account for the significant number of shares that have traded over the last two weeks. Again, we ask: how are shareholders expected to effectively assess Pelican’s amended offer without the Company’s 2025 projections and ample time to digest this recent information?

Once again, GSE’s inexperienced Board – which has de minimis equity ownership of the Company – is doing shareholders a severe disservice by neglecting to provide information critical to our ability to evaluate the Company at a time when it appears poised to benefit from a renaissance in the nuclear power industry.

Sincerely,

Bradley L. Radoff
