On August 6, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of Bloom Energy Corporation (“Bloom Energy” or the “Company”) increased the authorized number of directors constituting
the Board from nine to ten directors.
Mr. Jim Hagemann Snabe was appointed to serve as a
Class II director of Bloom Energy effective August 6, 2025 to hold office until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders
and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Mr. Snabe was also appointed to serve as a member of the
Company’s Nominating, Governance, and Public Policy Committee and Compensation and Organizational Development Committee.
Previously, Mr. Snabe was the Co-Chief Executive Officer of SAP AG from February 2010 to May 2014. Mr. Snabe is
the current Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Siemens AG. He also serves on the Board of Directors at C3.ai, Inc. and
Temasek Holdings and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Snabe
and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and he does not have any family relationships with any of the Company’s
directors or executive officers. Mr. Snabe does not have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be
