Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 25, 2026, the Board of Directors of Genie Energy Ltd. (the “Company”) determined that, in light of the previously disclosed decision by the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to restate previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “10-K”), and the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2024 and 2025 that were included in Forms 10-Q that were filed for the periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025, which has caused a delay in the Company’s filing of the 10-K and Proxy Statement, it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to postpone the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which was originally scheduled to be held on May 12, 2026 at the Company’s offices at 520 Broad Street, 4^th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102, to 11:00 a.m. local time on June 3, 2026 at the same location. In light of the change of the date of the Annual Meeting, the Registrant’s Board of Directors also changed the record date for determining the holders of shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting from Monday, March 16, 2026 to Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

FAQ

Why did Genie Energy (GNE) postpone its 2026 annual meeting?

Genie Energy postponed its 2026 annual meeting because restatements of prior financial statements delayed its Form 10-K and proxy filings. The Board determined rescheduling was in the company’s and stockholders’ best interests given the timing of these financial reporting changes.

When will Genie Energy’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders be held?

Genie Energy’s 2026 annual meeting is now set for 11:00 a.m. local time on June 3, 2026. It will take place at the company’s offices at 520 Broad Street, 4th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102, replacing the original May 12, 2026 date.

What is the new record date for Genie Energy’s 2026 annual meeting?

The new record date is April 22, 2026. Holders of Genie Energy’s Class A and Class B common stock on that date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2026 annual meeting, replacing the earlier March 16, 2026 record date.

The rescheduled 2026 annual meeting will be held at Genie Energy’s offices at 520 Broad Street, 4th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102. The location remains unchanged from the original plan; only the meeting date and record date were revised.

Does Genie Energy link the meeting delay to its financial restatements?

Yes. The Board cited the Audit Committee’s decision to restate financial statements for 2023 and 2024, and certain 2024–2025 interim periods, which delayed the Form 10-K and proxy, as the reason it was in stockholders’ best interests to postpone the 2026 meeting.
