About This Prospectus Supplement
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which contains the terms of this offering of our common stock and also adds, updates and changes information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference. This prospectus supplement describes the specific details regarding this offering and may add, update or change information contained in the accompanying prospectus. The second part is the accompanying prospectus dated September 22, 2025, which is part of our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-290198), which gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with information in the accompanying prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement will apply and will supersede the information in the accompanying prospectus. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date—for example, a subsequently filed document deemed incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus—the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement.
We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is in addition to or different from that contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may provide.
We are issuing the common stock only in jurisdictions where such issuances are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate only as of their respective dates (or any such earlier date as of which such information is given), regardless of the time of delivery of any such document or the time of any sale of the common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed materially since those dates. It is important for you to read and consider all information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in making your investment decision. You should read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the additional information described under the section titled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus, before investing in our securities. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus supplement to the “Company,” “T1 Energy,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to (i) as of any time prior to the change of jurisdiction of incorporation by FREYR Battery from Luxembourg to the State of Delaware and change in the legal name to FREYR Battery, Inc. (“FREYR Delaware”), effective December 31, 2023 (the “Redomiciliation”), FREYR Battery, (ii) as of any time after the Redomiciliation, FREYR Delaware through February 18, 2025, and (iii) as of February 19, 2025, T1 Energy Inc., and where appropriate, their respective wholly owned subsidiaries.
In this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, T1 Energy relies on and refers to industry data, information and statistics regarding the markets in which it competes from research as well as from publicly available information, industry and general publications and research and studies conducted by third parties. T1 Energy has supplemented this information where necessary with its own internal estimates, considering publicly available information about other industry participants and T1 Energy’s management’s best view as to information that is not publicly available. This information appears in sections of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. T1 Energy has taken such care as we consider reasonable in the extraction and reproduction of information from such data from third party sources. Industry publications, research, studies and forecasts generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this prospectus. These forecasts and forward-looking information are subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described under “Risk Factors.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forecasts or estimates from independent third parties and us.
No action is being taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States to permit a public offering of the securities or possession or distribution of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus in that jurisdiction. Persons who come into possession of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus in jurisdictions outside the United States are required to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions as to this issuance and the distribution of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus applicable to that jurisdiction.
In connection with our efforts to comply with the requirements of Sections 7701(a)(51), 7701(a)(52) and 45X(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “FEOC Rules”), following the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on July 4, 2025 (the “OBBBA”), the Company is only offering common stock to persons that do not constitute a Specified Foreign Entity (as defined in “Description of Capital Stock—Foreign Ownership Limitation”). Each purchaser of common stock, by its acceptance thereof, will be deemed to have acknowledged, represented to and agreed with us and the underwriters that it is not a Specified Foreign Entity.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical or current facts contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be forward-looking statements. Statements regarding our future results and timing of operations, expected performance and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding this offering and the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering, any expected results and benefits arising from the business combination with Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG (“Trina”), liquidity, growth and profitability strategies and factors and trends affecting our business are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified in some cases by the use of words such as “believe,” “can,” “could,” “potential,” “plan,” “predict,” “goals,” “seek,” “should,” “may,” “may have,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” or the negative of these words, other similar expressions or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are only predictions. We base these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025. These factors include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (1) our ability to (i) successfully integrate the businesses and operations of us and Trina; (ii) construct and equip manufacturing facilities in a timely and cost-effective manner; (iii) target and retain customers and suppliers; (iv) attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel; (v) protect our intellectual property; (vi) comply with legal and environmental regulations; (vii) compete in international markets in light of export and import controls; (viii) incur substantially more debt; and (ix) remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or otherwise maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; (2) the concentration of our operations in Texas and our dependence on a limited number of suppliers; (3) changes adversely affecting the flow of components and materials from international vendors, the costs of raw materials, components, equipment, and machinery; (4) general economic and geopolitical conditions, changes in applicable laws or regulations, including environmental, export control and tax laws and incentives and renewable energy targets, as well as international trade policies, including tariffs, on our products and our competitive position; (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings relating to our products and services, including intellectual property or product liability claims, commercial or contractual disputes, warranty claims, and other proceedings; and (6) the capital-intensive nature of our business and our ability to raise additional capital on attractive terms or service our debt.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or, in the case of the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, the date of any such document. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

The Company
T1 Energy is an energy solutions provider building an integrated U.S. supply chain for solar and batteries. We manufacture and sell photovoltaic (“PV”) solar modules in the United States for our U.S. customers.
We are one of the leading solar manufacturing companies in the United States. Our PV solar module manufacturing facility in Wilmer, TX (“G1 Dallas”) is operating and is expected to have an installed base of five gigawatts (“5 GW”) per annum. We believe our facility is one of the most technologically advanced PV solar module plants globally. T1 Energy produces PV solar modules that employ highly energy efficient Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact and Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact technologies. We believe the superior performance characteristics of the PV solar modules that we manufacture through our commercial partnership with Trina and our domestic content will competitively differentiate T1 Energy in the U.S. market.
The Company is executing a phased development of the G2_Austin solar cell facility in Rockdale, Texas, which is expected to begin producing cells by the end of 2026, and create up to 1,800 full-time jobs.
On November 6, 2024, we announced that we had entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) to acquire all the shares of capital stock of T1 G1 Dallas Holding and its related subsidiaries (collectively “T1 G1 Dallas Holding”) (the “Trina Business Combination”). The Trina Business Combination closed on December 23, 2024. As part of the Transaction Agreement, we acquired G1 Dallas from T1 G1 Dallas Holding and entered into a series of commercial support and technology licensing agreements with Trina.

We granted certain anti-dilution rights to Trina in connection with the Trina Business Combination (the “Trina Anti-Dilution Rights”). In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Trina informed T1 Energy of its intention to subscribe for an additional 4,274,704 shares of common stock at a subscription price of $1.70 per share pursuant to the Trina Anti-Dilution Rights. The subscription for such shares of common stock is expected to close at a time to be determined by Trina. Trina has waived any applicable Trina Anti-Dilution Rights in connection with this offering and the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering.
Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering
Concurrently with this offering, we are conducting a public offering of $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our convertible notes (or up to $138,000,000 aggregate principal amount if the underwriters in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering exercise their over-allotment option in full).

We cannot assure you that the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering will be completed on the terms described herein, on significantly different terms, or at all. The Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering is being made pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement, and nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy our convertible notes to be issued in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. See “Description of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering.”
Trina Note Conversion
In connection with the Trina Business Combination, we issued an $80.0 million convertible note to Trina (the “Trina Convertible Note”), which was expected to convert into our common stock in two stages: (i) into 12,521,653 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, within five business days of obtaining approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States on the Trina Business Combination and (ii) into 17,918,460 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, within five business days of securing required stockholder approval.
On September 5, 2025, the first stage of the Trina Convertible Note was converted into 12,521,653 shares of common stock.

An investment in our common stock involves significant risks.

The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider less significant may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.
This prospectus supplement also contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering
We have discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering. We may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return on your investment.
Although we currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering in the manner described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement, our management will have discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering. Our management could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use the net proceeds from this offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could harm our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline. We may invest the net proceeds from this offering, pending their use, in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.
If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the amount of $ per share because the public offering price of $ per share is substantially higher than the pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. This dilution is due to the substantially lower price paid by some of our investors who purchased shares prior to this offering as compared to the price offered to the public in this offering and the exercise of stock options granted to our employees, directors and consultants. In addition, we have our Outstanding Preferred Stock, as well as a significant number of stock options, warrants and RSUs, outstanding. The conversion of our Outstanding Preferred Stock, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the vesting and settlement of RSUs, as well as the exercise of contractual anti-dilution rights, may result in additional dilution. As a result of the dilution to investors purchasing shares in this offering, investors may receive significantly less than the purchase price paid in this offering, if anything, in the event of our liquidation. Further, because we expect we will need to raise additional capital to fund our future activities, we may in the future sell substantial amounts of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section titled “Dilution.”
Risks Related to our Common Stock
The concentration of ownership among our executive officers, directors, and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
Our executive officers, directors, and their affiliates own shares of our common stock as well as other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock, outstanding options and warrants and/or may have certain contractual anti-dilution rights, as applicable, which in each case, may allow them to acquire additional shares of our common stock. As a result, these stockholders as a group could exercise a level of control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation (as defined herein), and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions more difficult without the support of these stockholders.
S-5
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:
| ● | the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of our shares of common stock on NYSE; |
| ● | changes in applicable laws or regulations; |
| ● | risks relating to the uncertainty of our projected financial information; and |
| ● | risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of our business and the timing of expected business milestones. |
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us. If securities or industry analysts initiate coverage and one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our company, our common stock share price would likely decline. If analysts publish target prices for our common stock that are below the historical sales prices for shares of our common stock on a securities exchange or the then-current public price of our common stock, it could cause our stock price to decline significantly. Further, if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our common stock price and trading volume to decline.
You may experience future dilution as a result of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering and future equity offerings.
Concurrently with this offering, we are conducting a public offering of our convertible notes in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. In order to raise additional capital, we expect to in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
Future offerings of debt, which would be senior to our common stock upon liquidation, and/or preferred equity securities, which may be senior to our common stock for purposes of dividend distributions or upon liquidation, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt or additional preferred equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, and preferred stock, and entering into new loan agreements. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred stock (including the Outstanding Preferred Stock) and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive distributions of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity and equity-linked offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Except as otherwise disclosed in SEC filings, holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering and to enter into new loan agreements will depend on market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings or borrowings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings or loan arrangements reducing the market price of our common stock, reducing our assets available to them upon our liquidation and diluting their shareholdings in us. See “Description of Capital Stock.”
S-6
Future sales of our common stock or equity-linked securities in the public market could lower the trading price of our common stock.
In the future, we may sell additional shares of our common stock or equity-linked securities to raise capital. In addition, a substantial number of shares of our common stock is, or will be, reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and the vesting of RSUs pursuant to our equity incentive plans, upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, upon conversion of the Outstanding Preferred Stock and upon conversion of the notes offered in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for our common stock. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of common stock or equity-linked securities, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. Upon the completion of this offering , shares of our common stock will be outstanding, after giving effect to the October Registered Direct Offerings and Trina Note Conversion (or shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares from us).
All shares of common stock expected to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless held by our “affiliates” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The resale of certain of our outstanding shares of common stock following this offering is currently prohibited or otherwise restricted as a result of securities law provisions or lock-up agreements entered into by certain of our stockholders with the underwriters in connection with this offering and the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. However, subject to applicable securities law restrictions, these shares will be able to be sold in the public market beginning 31 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.
Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, would be your sole source of gain.
Given the capital-intensive nature of our business, we do not currently anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our shares of common stock would be your sole source of gain on an investment in such shares for the foreseeable future.
Risks Related to the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering
Conversion of the convertible notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders, including noteholders who have previously converted their convertible notes.
At our election, we may settle convertible notes tendered for conversion solely or partly in shares of our common stock. As a result, the conversion of some or all of the convertible notes may dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent we elect to settle such conversions in shares of our common stock. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion of the convertible notes could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock and, in turn, the price of the convertible notes. In addition, the existence of the convertible notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the convertible notes could depress the price of our common stock.
Neither this offering nor the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering is conditioned upon the completion of the other.
Neither this offering nor the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering is conditioned upon the completion of the other, so it is possible that this offering occurs and the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering does not occur, or vice versa. We cannot assure you that the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering will be completed on the terms described herein, on significantly different terms, or at all. Accordingly, if you decide to purchase shares of our common stock, you should be willing to do so whether or not we complete the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. This prospectus supplement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the convertible notes being offered in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. See “Description of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering.”
Hedging activity by investors in the convertible notes could depress the trading price of our common stock.
We expect that many investors in the convertible notes being offered in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering, including potential purchasers of the convertible notes following the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering, will seek to employ a convertible note arbitrage strategy. Under this strategy, investors typically short sell a certain number of shares of our common stock and adjust their short position over time while they continue to hold the convertible notes. Investors may also implement this type of strategy by entering into swaps on our common stock in lieu of, or in addition to, short selling shares of our common stock. This market activity, or the market’s perception that it will occur, could depress the trading price of our common stock.
S-7
Provisions in the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.
Certain provisions in the convertible notes and the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a “fundamental change” (which will be defined in the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes to include certain change-of-control events and the delisting of our common stock), then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their convertible notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a “make-whole fundamental change” (which will be defined in the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes to include fundamental changes and certain additional business combination transactions), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate for the convertible notes. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the convertible notes and the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes, as well as the instruments governing other indebtedness we have outstanding, could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third-party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that noteholders or holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the convertible notes in cash, repay the convertible notes at maturity or repurchase the convertible notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the convertible notes.
Noteholders may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their convertible notes following a fundamental change at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. Upon maturity of the convertible notes, we must pay their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest in cash, unless they have been previously repurchased, redeemed or converted. In addition, upon conversion of the convertible notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the convertible notes being converted (in accordance with the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes). However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the convertible notes or pay the cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion of the convertible notes. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the convertible notes or to pay the cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion of the convertible notes. Our failure to repurchase convertible notes or to pay the cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion of the convertible notes when required will constitute a default under the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes. A default under the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the convertible notes.
The accounting method for the convertible notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results.
The accounting method for reflecting the convertible notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the convertible notes and reflecting the underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition.
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we expect that the convertible notes offered in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering will be reflected as a liability on our balance sheets, with the initial carrying amount equal to the principal amount of the convertible notes, net of issuance costs. The issuance costs will be treated as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the convertible notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the convertible notes, which will result in lower reported income.
In addition, we expect that the shares of our common stock underlying the convertible notes will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share using the “if converted” method. Under that method, diluted earnings per share would generally be calculated assuming that all the convertible notes were converted solely into shares of our common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share. We have not reached a final determination regarding the accounting treatment for the convertible notes, and the description above is preliminary. Accordingly, we may account for the convertible notes in a manner that is significantly different than described above.
S-8
We estimate the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $ million (or approximately $ million if the underwriters’ option to purchase up to $21,000,000 of additional shares of common stock is exercised in full), based on the public offering price of $ per share of common stock and after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering (including the net proceeds from the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock), together with the net proceeds from the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering, (i) to progress efforts to become compliant with applicable FEOC Rules under the OBBBA by December 31, 2025, including through the repayment of certain indebtedness, (ii) for working capital, construction and advancement of infrastructure relating to the first 2.1 GW phase of our G2_Austin facility and (iii) for general corporate purposes.
We cannot assure you that we will use the proceeds of this offering for the stated purposes, and we may use the net proceeds for other purposes with which you do not agree. Pending final application of the net proceeds as described above, we may invest the net proceeds in marketable securities or other investments.
S-9
To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and we do not currently anticipate paying any such dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws and regulations, and may be affected by various factors, including our future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, share repurchase activity, current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, levels of indebtedness, and other considerations our board of directors deems relevant. Given the capital-intensive nature of our business, we do not currently anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Description of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering
Concurrently with this offering, we are offering $120,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our % Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (or up to $138,000,000 aggregate principal amount if the underwriters in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering exercise their over-allotment option in full) pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement in an underwritten public offering. The convertible notes will mature on December 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us. The convertible notes will bear interest at a rate of % per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2026. Holders of the convertible notes may convert their convertible notes at their option only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2026 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; (4) if we call such convertible notes for redemption but only in respect of the notes called for redemption; and (5) at any time from, and including, September 1, 2030 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election, based on the applicable conversion rate. The initial conversion rate is shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $ per share, and is subject to adjustment as described in the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes. If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes) occurs, then we will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time.
The convertible notes will be redeemable in whole or in part (subject to the partial redemption limitation), at our option, on or after December 6, 2028 and prior to the 41st scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date;
If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the supplemental indenture governing the convertible notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require us to repurchase their convertible notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The convertible notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the convertible notes; equal in right of payment with any of our senior unsecured indebtedness that is not so subordinated; and effectively junior to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The convertible notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries (including trade payables).
The closing of this offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering, and the closing of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering is not conditioned upon the closing of this offering. We cannot assure you that the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering will be completed or, if completed, on what terms it will be completed. The Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering is being made pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement, and nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the convertible notes to be issued in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering.
S-11
If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the price per share of our common stock in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.
Our net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities and our noncontrolling interest. Net tangible book value per share is our net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 was approximately $(155,942,000), or $(0.92) per share of our common stock. After giving effect to (i) the October Registered Direct Offerings (for more information, see “Summary—Recent Developments—October Registered Direct Offerings”) and (ii) the Trina Note Conversion, in each case as if the October Registered Direct Offerings and the Trina Note Conversion had occurred on September 30, 2025, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been $303,208, or $0.00 per share of common stock.
We present dilution on a pro forma as-adjusted basis to give effect to the October Registered Direct Offerings and the Trina Note Conversion as described above and our receipt of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering, based on the public offering price of $ per share of common stock and after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. On a pro forma as-adjusted basis, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been $ million, or $ per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $ per share of common stock and immediate dilution in pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering of $ per share of common stock. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:
| Public offering price per share | $ | |||||||
| Historical net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2025 | $ | (0.92 | ) | |||||
| Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2025, after giving effect to pro forma adjustments | $ | 0.00 | ||||||
| Increase in pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to the investors participating in this offering | $ | |||||||
| Pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering | $ | |||||||
| As-adjusted dilution per share to the investors participating in this offering | $ |
If the underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock, the pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value after this offering would increase by approximately $ per share of common stock, and there would be an immediate dilution of approximately $ per share of common stock to purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering.
S-12
The above discussion and table are based on 168,625,517 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and excludes:
| ● | 4,274,704 shares of common stock to be issued to Trina under the Trina Anti-Dilution Rights in connection with the October Registered Direct Offerings; |
| ● | 38,823,529 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Outstanding Preferred Stock; |
| ● | 14,674,894 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain public warrants, expiring on July 9, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation; |
| ● | 9,950,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain private warrants, expiring on July 9, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation; |
| ● | 7,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain private warrants, expiring on September 10, 2030, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation; |
| ● | 7,361,680 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding under the Equity Plan; |
| ● | 6,836,249 shares of common stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of RSUs outstanding under our Equity Plan; |
| ● | 661,111 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options granted to the Company’s former chief executive officer; and |
| ● | the shares of common stock to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the convertible notes being offered in the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering. |
We may raise additional capital in the future through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities. To the extent options are exercised, or we issue shares of common stock in connection with raising additional capital, there may be further dilution.
S-13
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock and is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of our common stock or preferred stock. The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and Third Amended Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Read the applicable provisions of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the Certificates of Designations (as defined herein) in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock.
Authorized Share Capital
Currently, T1 Energy’s authorized capital stock consists of (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Common Stock
Dividends. Subject to prior dividend rights of the holders of any preferred stock of T1 Energy and any other class or series of shares having a preference as to dividends over common stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the T1 Energy board of directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose.
Voting Rights. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter to be voted on by the holders of common stock. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting of their shares in elections of directors.
Other Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (either voluntary of involuntary) of T1 Energy, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive the assets and funds of T1 Energy available for distribution in proportion to the number of shares held by them, respectively, without regard to class, after payments to creditors and subject to any related preferential rights of any holders of any preferred stock of T1 Energy that at the time may be outstanding.
T1 Energy common stock is currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TE.”
Preferred Stock
T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation expressly authorizes T1 Energy’s board of directors to provide for the issuance of all or any preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and to fix for each such class or series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the board of directors providing for the issuance of such class or series, including, without limitation, the authority to provide that any such class or series may be (i) subject to redemption at such time or times and at such price or prices; (ii) entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rates, on such conditions, and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or any other series; (iii) entitled to such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of T1 Energy; or (iv) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock, or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock, of T1 Energy at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments; all as may be stated in such resolution or resolutions. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of common stock. In addition, the T1 Energy board of directors may issue preferred stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.
S-14
Number and Designation
We filed the certificates of designations (the “Certificates of Designations”), designating (i) 1,600,000 shares of our preferred stock as “Series B Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock,” par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock as “Series B-1 Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock,” par value $0.01 per share. The number of shares of each such series may be increased or decreased by resolution of the T1 Energy board of directors; provided that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of the respective series to a number less than that of the shares then outstanding. On October 31, 2025, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, T1 Energy issued to the purchasers (i) 1,600,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, which represent all of the shares of preferred stock currently outstanding. The shares of Outstanding Preferred Stock have all of the rights, preferences and privileges set forth below and as more fully described in the Certificates of Designations.
Ranking; Liquidation Preference
The Outstanding Preferred Stock issued under the Stock Purchase Agreement ranks senior to the common stock but junior to all existing and future debt obligations of the Company and has a liquidation preference equal to $10.00 per share of Outstanding Preferred Stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends.
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, subject to the rights of holders of any senior securities and after satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations to creditors of the Company, before any distribution is made to holders of shares of junior securities, the holders of the Outstanding Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in the amount that is the greater of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference per share of Outstanding Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount of cash to which a holder would be entitled to receive in a liquidation with respect to such shares if they had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such liquidation.
Conversion
Each share of then-issued Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holders thereof, into shares of common stock (the “Underlying Shares”), up to an aggregate of 9,411,764 shares of common stock, in whole and not in part (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designations), based on a conversion price of $1.70 per share of common stock, assuming no accrued and unpaid dividends.
Each share of then-issued Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holders thereof, into Underlying Shares, up to an aggregate of 26,315,789 shares of common stock, in whole and not in part (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations), based on the conversion price of $1.90 per share of common stock if the 10-Day VWAP of the common stock immediately prior to the conversion date is $2.50 or more per share of common stock (being the greater of the conversion prices for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock), and assuming no accrued and unpaid dividends; the conversion price of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be reduced to $1.70 per share of common stock in the event that the 10-Day VWAP of the common stock immediately prior to the conversion date is less than $2.50 per share of common stock. Upon such reduction of the conversion price, each share of the then-issued Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 5.88 shares of common stock, up to an aggregate of approximately 29,411,764 shares of common stock, in whole and not in part (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations), based on the reduced conversion price (subject to dilution adjustments), and holders can expect to receive additional Underlying Shares as compared to the conversion price of $1.90 for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock.
In the event that, between the date of the Series B-1 Certificate of Designations and one year following the issuance of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Company issues any shares of any series of preferred stock with a conversion price for converting shares of such series of preferred stock into shares of common stock that is lower than the then applicable Series B-1 Conversion Price (such lower conversion price being referred to as the “Lower Conversion Price”) the Series B-1 Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted to equal the Lower Conversion Price; provided, however, that in no event shall the Lower Conversion Price be adjusted to an amount below $1.05.
Additionally, in case of a stock split or similar event effected by the Company, the conversion price shall be proportionally decreased so that the number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding.

A holder of Outstanding Preferred Stock is prohibited from converting shares of Outstanding Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 19.99% of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
Change of Control
In the event of a change of control event in which the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, the holders of Outstanding Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the greater of: (i) the aggregate liquidation preference of the Outstanding Preferred Stock outstanding, including any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the closing date of the change of control event, and (ii) the amount of consideration that would be payable or issuable in such change of control transaction to a holder of the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Outstanding Preferred Stock are convertible by their terms as of the closing date of the change of control event, provided that the holders will receive the same form of consideration to be received by holders of common stock in such change of control event.
Term; Redemption
The Series B Preferred Stock has a maturity date of December 23, 2027 (the “Series B Maturity Date”). On the Series B Maturity Date, the Company shall redeem the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share (up to an aggregate amount of $16 million assuming all shares of Series B Preferred Stock are fully issued and outstanding at the time of redemption) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Preferred Stock will not be redeemable. In any case of redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, T1 Energy shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the Series B Maturity Date, send to each holder notice of the intention of the Company to redeem such shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
The Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a maturity date of December 23, 2027 (the “Series B-1 Maturity Date”). On the Series B-1 Maturity Date, the Company shall redeem the then-outstanding Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share (up to an aggregate amount of $50 million assuming all shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are fully issued and outstanding at the time of redemption) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Preferred Stock will not be redeemable. In any case of redemption of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, T1 Energy shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the Series B-1 Maturity Date, send to each holder notice of the intention of the Company to redeem such shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock.
The Outstanding Preferred Stock is not subject to any restriction on the repurchase or redemption of shares by the Company due to an arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.
Dividends
The Outstanding Preferred Stock carries a dividend rate of 6%, accruing on their issuance and payable in arrears (i) on the dividend date 18 months after their issuance (ii) every six months after such dividend payment date. Dividends may be payable in cash, securities or other property as may be determined by T1 Energy’s board of directors or any of its duly authorized committees. Any dividends will be paid net of any required withholding taxes.
Other
Other customary representations and warranties, closing conditions and terms were included in the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Certificates of Designations.
Foreign Ownership Limitation
Pursuant to Section 7701(a)(51)(E)(iii) of the Code an entity that is a publicly traded company or a subsidiary of a publicly traded company is a foreign-influenced entity if, during the taxable year, one or more Specified Foreign Entities that are each required to report their beneficial ownership under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act own, in the aggregate, not less than 40% of such entity (the “Aggregated Equity Test”).
S-16
On December 3, 2025, T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended to establish a restriction of ownership of T1 Energy’s capital stock by Specified Foreign Entities in order to ensure ongoing compliance with the Aggregated Equity Test. Under T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation (as so amended), Specified Foreign Entities are not permitted to hold 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares representing T1 Energy’s common stock or preferred stock, unless permitted by T1 Energy’s board of directors (“Foreign Ownership Limitation”).
Furthermore, T1 Energy is authorized to effect any and all measures and to make any and all determinations reasonably necessary or desirable (consistent with applicable laws, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws) to, without limitation:
| ● | require the owner(s) of shares of T1 Energy’s common stock or preferred stock to confirm and/or provide evidence that he, she or it is not a Specified Foreign Entity and suspend voting, dividend and other distribution rights with respect to any shares held by such owner(s) until such confirmation and/or evidence is received; |
| ● | maintain the share transfer records of T1 Energy in such a manner so that the percentage of any class of shares of T1 Energy’s common stock or preferred stock that is owned by Specified Foreign Entities can be determined and confirmed; and |
| ● | obtain, as a condition precedent to the transfer on the records of T1 Energy, representations, citizenship certificates and/or other evidence as to the identity and citizenship status from all transferees (and from any recipient upon original issuance) of any shares and, if such transferee (or recipient) is acting as a fiduciary or nominee for another owner, such other owner, and the registration of transfer (or original issuance) shall be denied upon refusal of such transferee (or recipient) to make such representations and/or furnish such citizenship certificates or other evidence. |
Any transfer of T1 Energy’s common or preferred stock that does not comply with the Certificate of Incorporation will be void and ineffective as against T1 Energy.
As used in this prospectus supplement, “Specified Foreign Entity” or “Specified Foreign Entities” means a specified foreign entity, as defined in Section 7701(a)(51)(B) of the Code and any guidance published thereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any foreign-controlled entity, as defined in Section 7701(a)(51)(C) of the Code and any guidance published thereunder).
Registration Rights
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, the holder and the Company entered into the Trina Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which T1 Energy granted Trina certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock and the Trina Convertible Note.
Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, T1 Energy agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to the securities issued pursuant to such agreement.
Certain Anti-Takeover Measures
Certain provisions of the T1 Energy’s governing documents and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring T1 Energy. These provisions encourage persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with the T1 Energy board of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the below summarized items.
S-17
DGCL Section 203
T1 Energy will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”). In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date of the transaction in which such person becomes an interested stockholder, unless:
| ● | prior to such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
| ● | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting share of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting shares owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned: |
| ● | by persons who are directors and also officers; and |
| ● | employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
| ● | at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting shares which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting shares of T1 Energy and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.
Board Composition and Powers
The T1 Energy Bylaws provide that any director or the entire board of directors may be removed from office at any time, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of T1 Energy entitled to vote in the election of directors. Any director serving on a committee of the board may be removed from such committee at any time by the board of directors. T1 Energy’s board of directors has the power to fix the number of directors by resolution, subject to the requirements of T1 Energy’s governing documents that the T1 Energy board of directors be not fewer than five nor more than 12. Vacancies on the board or any committee resulting from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal of a director, or from an increase in the number of directors constituting the board or such committee, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors chosen in this manner, in the case of the board of directors, will hold office until the next annual election and until a successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal and, in the case of any committee of the board, will hold office until a successor is duly appointed by the board of directors or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
The T1 Energy Bylaws provide that in order for a stockholder to propose business at an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of T1 Energy no later than the close of business on the 60th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual meeting of stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting of stockholders or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting of stockholders, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders is first made by T1 Energy.
S-18
The T1 Energy Bylaws further provide that in order for a stockholder to make a nomination at an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of T1 Energy (a) in the case of an annual meeting of stockholders, no later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual meeting of stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting of stockholders or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting of stockholders, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders is first made by T1 Energy; and (b) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting of stockholders was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting of stockholders was made, whichever first occurs.
No Stockholder Action by Written Consent
The T1 Energy Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of T1 Energy must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of T1 Energy, and the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is specifically denied.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
The T1 Energy Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by (i) the board of directors, (ii) the chair of the board of directors, if there be one, or (iii) a stockholder, or group of stockholders holding more than 20% of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of T1 Energy issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter for which such special meeting of stockholders is called if such stockholder, or group of stockholders, have dated, signed and delivered to the secretary a written demand for such special meeting of stockholders at least 90 days prior to the proposed date for such special meeting of stockholders, describing each matter of business desired to be brought before the special meeting of stockholders, the reasons for conducting such business, the text of any proposal or business to be considered, and the information required by the notice provisions and of the Bylaws.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholders’ share thereafter devolved by operation of law. Unless T1 Energy consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued shares of T1 Energy common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without any further vote or action T1 Energy stockholders. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of T1 Energy common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over T1 Energy by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
S-19
Supermajority Approval Requirements
The DGCL generally provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage. The DGCL does not specify a required vote for stockholder to amend a corporation’s bylaws and, therefore, the default voting standard set forth in a corporation’s bylaws will apply to votes to amend the bylaws unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise. In addition, the DGCL provides that a board of directors may amend the bylaws without further stockholder action if authorized to do so by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation.
T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire board of directors or the affirmative vote of holders of at least two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors will be required to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws. In addition, T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors will be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with the purpose and intent of certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, including those governing the limitation of liability of directors, indemnification of directors and officers, stockholders’ action by written consent, the amendment of T1 Energy’s Bylaws by the board of directors, and the required stockholder vote for the amendment of the foregoing provisions. This requirement of a supermajority vote to approve amendments to our bylaws and certificate of incorporation could enable a minority of our stockholders to exercise veto power over any such amendments.
These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of T1 Energy or its management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of T1 Energy. These provisions are designed to reduce T1 Energy’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for T1 Energy’s shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors/Officers
The Certificate of Incorporation, to the full extent permitted by the DGCL, will limit or eliminate the liability of T1 Energy directors made a party to any proceeding to T1 Energy or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Under the DGCL, no such elimination of liability is permitted (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to T1 Energy or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful share purchase or redemption or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Forum Selection
The T1 Energy Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that unless T1 Energy consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of T1 Energy, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of T1 Energy to T1 Energy or T1 Energy’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against T1 Energy or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of T1 Energy arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL, the T1 Energy Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (each, as in effect from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against T1 Energy or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of T1 Energy governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding will be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein.
S-20
Unless T1 Energy gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing, otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of T1 Energy will be deemed to have notice of and consented to these forum selection provisions. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent will not act as a waiver of T1 Energy’s ongoing consent right with respect to any current or future actions or claims. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Moreover, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and T1 Energy’s Bylaws provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court.
We recognize that the forum selection clause in T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clause in T1 Energy’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than to our stockholders.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

S-23
Santander US Capital Markets LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, in their sole discretion, may release the securities subject to any of the lock-up agreements with the underwriters described above, in whole or in part at any time.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TE.”
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked” shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.
The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may contain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical or current facts contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement may be forward-looking statements. Statements regarding our future results and timing of operations, expected performance and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among others, statements regarding the offering and the pending application to list our Convertible Preferred Stock on the NYSE, any expected results and benefits arising from the Trina Business Combination, liquidity, growth and profitability strategies and factors and trends affecting our business are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified in some cases by the use of words such as “believe,” “can,” “could,” “potential,” “plan,” “predict,” “goals,” “seek,” “should,” “may,” “may have,” “would,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” or the negative of these words, other similar expressions or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement are only predictions. We base these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors include, but are not limited to, risks related to: (1) our ability to (i) successfully integrate the businesses and operations of us and Trina; (ii) construct and equip manufacturing facilities in a timely and cost-effective manner; (iii) target and retain customers and suppliers; (iv) attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel; (v) protect our intellectual property; (vi) comply with legal and environmental regulations; (vii) compete in international markets in light of export and import controls; and (viii) incur substantially more debt; (2) the concentration of our operations in Texas and our dependence on a limited number of suppliers; (3) changes adversely affecting the flow of components and materials from international vendors, the costs of raw materials, components, equipment, and machinery; (4) general economic and geopolitical conditions, changes in applicable laws or regulations, including environmental, export control and tax laws and incentives, as well as international trade policies, including tariffs, on our products and our competitive position; (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings relating to our products and services, including intellectual property or product liability claims, commercial or contractual disputes, warranty claims, and other proceedings; and (6) the capital-intensive nature of our business and our ability to raise additional capital on attractive terms or service our debt.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus or, in the case of any accompanying prospectus supplement or documents incorporated by reference, the date of any such document. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Company Overview
T1 Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T1 Energy,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), is an energy solutions provider building an integrated U.S. supply chain for solar and batteries. We manufacture and sell photovoltaic (“PV”) solar modules in the United States for our U.S. customers.
We are one of the leading solar manufacturing companies in the United States. Our PV solar module manufacturing facility in Wilmer, TX (“G1 Dallas”) is operating and is expected to have an installed base of five gigawatts (“5 GW”) per annum. The facility is expected to begin producing cells by the end of 2026, and create up to 1,800 full-time jobs. We believe our facility is one of the most technologically advanced PV solar module plants globally. T1 Energy produces PV solar modules that employ highly energy efficient Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact and Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact technologies. We believe the superior performance characteristics of the PV solar modules that we manufacture through our commercial partnership with Trina Solar (“Trina”) and our domestic content will competitively differentiate T1 Energy in the U.S. market.
On November 6, 2024, we announced that we had entered into the Transaction Agreement to acquire all the shares of capital stock of T1 G1 Dallas Holding and its related subsidiaries (collectively “T1 G1 Dallas Holding”). The Trina Business Combination closed on December 23, 2024. As part of the Transaction Agreement, we acquired G1 Dallas from T1 G1 Dallas Holding and entered into a series of commercial support and technology licensing agreements with the Seller.
The Trina Business Combination
On December 23, 2024, we completed the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Agreement entered into with the Seller, on November 6, 2024 for the acquisition of all legal and beneficial ownership in the shares of capital stock of T1 G1 Dallas Holding, which owns, directly or indirectly, all legal and beneficial ownership in the shares of capital stock of, or other ownership, membership or equity interest in the Acquired Companies.

On the Closing Date, the Company and Seller also entered into a Cooperation Agreement.

The Company and the Encompass Parties will notify each other of their decision to exercise the Second Tranche Option in accordance with the addressee details provided under the notice provisions of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement; conversely, if either party elects not to exercise such option, it expects to notify the other party in the same manner via electronic mail. The Second Tranche Preferred Stock will be issued within 10 Business Days following the date the Company notifies the Encompass Parties of its decision to exercise the Second Tranche Option.

In connection with the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, on August 13, 2025, the parties thereto entered into that certain Amendment No. 3 to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, in order to amend and restate in entirety, among other things:
| (i) | the definitions of “Conversion Price” and “Second Tranche Closing Date”, and such amended and restated definitions have been reflected herein; |
| (ii) | the inclusion of definitions of “Trading Day”, “Trading Market”, “Principal Trading Market”, “Trading Market” and “10-Day VWAP”; |
| (iii) | the inclusion of a condition precedent to the consummation of the issuance of the Second Tranche Preferred Stock which relates to the Company’s financial statements that also replaced an earlier condition precedent related to the Company’s final investment decision with regard to the facility to be developed by TUM 2; |

On or after December 23, 2025, the then-issued Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holders thereof, into the Underlying Shares, up to an aggregate of 55,727,554 shares of Common Stock, in whole and not in part, based on a conversion price of (i) $1.70 per share of Common Stock for the First Tranche Preferred Stock, and (ii) $1.90 per share of Common Stock for the Second Tranche Preferred Stock if the 10-Day VWAP of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Conversion Date is $2.50 or more per share of Common Stock (being the greater of the conversion prices for the Second Tranche Preferred Stock), and assuming no accrued and unpaid dividends. The conversion price of the Second Tranche Preferred Stock will be reduced to $1.70 per share of Common Stock in the event that the 10-Day VWAP of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Conversion Date is less than $2.50 per share of Common Stock. Upon such reduction of the conversion price, each share of the then-issued Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into approximately 5.88 shares of Common Stock, up to an aggregate of approximately 58,823,529 shares of Common Stock, in whole and not in part, based on the reduced conversion price (subject to dilution adjustments), and holders can expect to receive additional Underlying Shares as compared to the conversion price of $1.90 for the Second Tranche Preferred Stock. There are no record dates in relation to the relevant dates of the conversion or required redemption.
If the Company issues any shares of preferred stock with a Lower Conversion Price between the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and one (1) year following the Second Tranche Closing Date, it shall make such amendment as is necessary to the terms of the Second Tranche Preferred Stock so that the conversion price applicable to the Second Tranche Preferred Stock is no higher than the Lower Conversion Price (with such Lower Conversion Price to be no lower than $1.05 in any event).
If the Second Tranche Closing does not occur by December 31, 2026, then the Company shall issue warrants to the Encompass Parties which are exercisable for 3,500,000 shares of the Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per share upon certain conditions.
The Convertible Preferred Stock has a term of three years beginning from December 23, 2024. On December 23, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”), the Company will redeem the then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock at $10.00 per share (up to an aggregate amount of $120,000,000 assuming all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are fully issued and outstanding across both the First Tranche Preferred Stock and Second Tranche Preferred Stock at the time of redemption) plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Convertible Preferred Stock will not be redeemable. In any case of redemption of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, T1 Energy shall, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days before the Maturity Date, send to each holder notice of the intention of the Company to redeem such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.
Prior to the date of this prospectus, there has been no public market for the Convertible Preferred Stock. We have applied to list the Convertible Preferred Stock on the NYSE. If the application is approved, we expect trading in such securities on the NYSE to begin promptly thereafter. However, there can be no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any such market for the Convertible Preferred Stock. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that the Convertible Preferred Stock will be approved for listing on the NYSE in a timely manner or at all. Prior to such listing, should it elect to sell its shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, the holder of the Convertible Preferred Stock intends to sell such shares at no less than the issue price of $10.00 per share; after such time the Convertible Preferred Stock can be offered and sold at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
Stock Exchange Listing
The Common Stock and T1 Energy Warrants are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbols TE and TE WS, respectively. We have applied to list the Convertible Preferred Stock on the NYSE.

8
| ● | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting share of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting shares owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned: |
| o | by persons who are directors and also officers; and |
| o | employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |

Board Composition and Powers
The T1 Energy Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that any director or the entire board of directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause (as such term is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of T1 Energy entitled to vote in the election of directors. Any director serving on a committee of the board may be removed from such committee at any time by the board of directors. T1 Energy’s board of directors has the power to fix the number of directors by resolution, subject to the requirements of T1 Energy’s governing documents that the T1 Energy board of directors be not fewer than five (5) nor more than twelve (12). Vacancies on the board or any committee resulting from the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal of a director, or from an increase in the number of directors constituting the board or such committee, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors chosen in this manner, in the case of the board of directors, will hold office until the next annual election and until a successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal and, in the case of any committee of the board, will hold office until a successor is duly appointed by the board of directors or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

The T1 Energy Second Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that in order for a stockholder to make a nomination at an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of T1 Energy (a) in the case of an annual meeting of stockholders, no later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting of stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting of stockholders or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders is less than a hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting of stockholders, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting of stockholders is first made by T1 Energy; and (b) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting of stockholders was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting of stockholders was made, whichever first occurs.
No Stockholder Action by Written Consent
The T1 Energy Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of T1 Energy must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of T1 Energy, and the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is specifically denied.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
The T1 Energy Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by (i) the board of directors, (ii) the chair of the board of directors, if there be one, or (iii) a stockholder, or group of stockholders holding more than twenty percent (20%) of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of T1 Energy issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter for which such special meeting of stockholders is called if such stockholder, or group of stockholders, have dated, signed and delivered to the secretary a written demand for such special meeting of stockholders at least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed date for such special meeting of stockholders, describing each matter of business desired to be brought before the special meeting of stockholders, the reasons for conducting such business, the text of any proposal or business to be considered, and the information required by the notice provisions and of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholders’ share thereafter devolved by operation of law. Unless T1 Energy consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
The authorized but unissued shares of T1 Energy Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock will be available for future issuance without any further vote or action T1 Energy stockholders. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of T1 Energy Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over T1 Energy by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise
10
Supermajority Approval Requirements
The DGCL generally provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage. The DGCL does not specify a required vote for stockholder to amend a corporation’s bylaws and, therefore, the default voting standard set forth in a corporation’s bylaws will apply to votes to amend the bylaws unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise. In addition, the DGCL provides that a board of directors may amend the bylaws without further stockholder action if authorized to do so by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation.
T1 Energy’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire board of directors or the affirmative vote of holders of at least two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors will be required to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws. In addition, T1 Energy’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors will be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with the purpose and intent of certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including those governing the limitation of liability of directors, indemnification of directors and officers, stockholders’ action by written consent, the amendment of T1 Energy’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws by the board of directors, and the required stockholder vote for the amendment of the foregoing provisions. This requirement of a supermajority vote to approve amendments to our bylaws and certificate of incorporation could enable a minority of our stockholders to exercise veto power over any such amendments.
These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of T1 Energy or its management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of T1 Energy. These provisions are designed to reduce T1 Energy’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for T1 Energy’s shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors/Officers
The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to the full extent permitted by the DGCL, will limit or eliminate the liability of T1 Energy directors made a party to any proceeding to T1 Energy or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
Under the DGCL, no such elimination of liability is permitted (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to T1 Energy or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful share purchase or redemption or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
11
Forum Selection
The T1 Energy Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that unless T1 Energy consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of T1 Energy, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty (including any fiduciary duty) owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of T1 Energy to T1 Energy or T1 Energy’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against T1 Energy or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of T1 Energy arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL, the T1 Energy Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (each, as in effect from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against T1 Energy or any current or former director, officer, stockholder, employee or agent of T1 Energy governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such action or proceeding, the sole and exclusive forum for such action or proceeding will be another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in each such case, unless the Court of Chancery (or such other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, as applicable) has dismissed a prior action by the same plaintiff asserting the same claims because such court lacked personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant therein.
Unless T1 Energy gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing, otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of T1 Energy will be deemed to have notice of and consented to these forum selection provisions. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent will not act as a waiver of T1 Energy’s ongoing consent right with respect to any current or future actions or claims. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Moreover, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and T1 Energy’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court.
We recognize that the forum selection clause in T1 Energy’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clause in T1 Energy’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than to our stockholders.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

General
We may sell the debt securities, including original issue discount securities, at par or at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series or any other series outstanding at the time of issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of securities under the indenture.
We will describe in an accompanying prospectus supplement any other special considerations for any debt securities we sell that are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars. In addition, debt securities may be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, and the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement.
United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any, applicable to any such series will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement.
We expect most debt securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons and in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the limitations provided in the indenture and in an accompanying prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the designated corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Global Securities
Unless we inform you otherwise in an accompanying prospectus supplement, the debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Unless and until a global security is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent the TIA otherwise applies, and will be subject to mandatory provisions applicable to such indentures and debt securities of Luxembourg law.

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING WARRANTS
The following is a summary of some of the terms of the T1 Energy Public Warrants and T1 Energy Private Warrants. It does not purport to be complete.
As of June 30, 2025, 14.7 million T1 Energy Public Warrants and 9.9 million T1 Energy Private Warrants were outstanding.
T1 Energy Public Warrants
Each whole T1 Energy Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one T1 Energy Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Alussa Business Combination Agreement, which took place on July 9, 2021 (the “Alussa Business Combination Second Closing”). Pursuant to the amended warrant agreement dated as of December 31, 2023, by and among Alussa, FREYR Battery, FREYR Battery, Inc. and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Amended Warrant Agreement”), a warrant holder may exercise its T1 Energy Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. The T1 Energy Public Warrants will expire five years after the Alussa Business Combination Second Closing, July 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
T1 Energy will not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a T1 Energy Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such T1 Energy Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock underlying the T1 Energy Public Warrant is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to T1 Energy satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No T1 Energy Public Warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and T1 Energy will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their T1 Energy Public Warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such T1 Energy Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such T1 Energy Public Warrant and such T1 Energy Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless.
Once the warrants become exercisable, T1 Energy may redeem the outstanding warrants (excluding T1 Energy Private Warrants):
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which we refer to as the 30-day redemption period, to each warrant holder; and |
| ● | if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which T1 Energy sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
T1 Energy established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the T1 Energy Public Warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and T1 Energy issues a notice of redemption of the T1 Energy Public Warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its T1 Energy Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price as well as the $11.50 T1 Energy Public Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. T1 Energy will not redeem the T1 Energy Public Warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the T1 Energy Public Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the T1 Energy Public Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the T1 Energy Public Warrants become redeemable by T1 Energy, T1 Energy may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares upon exercise of the T1 Energy Public Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or it is unable to effect such registration or qualification.
15
If T1 Energy calls the T1 Energy Public Warrants for redemption as described above, T1 Energy’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise T1 Energy Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their T1 Energy Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” T1 Energy’s management will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of T1 Energy Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of its T1 Energy Public Warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the T1 Energy Public Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (defined in the Amended Warrant Agreement), multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined in the Amended Warrant Agreement) over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the T1 Energy Public Warrants, provided that in all cases, the exercise price shall correspond to at least the accounting par value of the Common Stock. If T1 Energy takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the T1 Energy Public Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a T1 Energy Public Warrant redemption. If T1 Energy’s management calls the T1 Energy Public Warrants for redemption and its management does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrants holders been required to exercise their T1 Energy Public Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.
A holder of a T1 Energy Public Warrant may notify T1 Energy in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such T1 Energy Public Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
If the number of issued and outstanding Common Stock is increased by a capitalization payable in Common Stock, or by a sub-division of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization, sub-division or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each T1 Energy Public Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a capitalization of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per T1 Energy Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, in determining the price payable for shares of Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of T1 Energy Common Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
If the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each T1 Energy Public Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the T1 Energy Public Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the T1 Energy Public Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
16
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of T1 Energy with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which T1 Energy is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of T1 Energy’s issued and outstanding Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of T1 Energy as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which T1 Energy is liquidated and dissolved, the holders of the T1 Energy Public Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the T1 Energy Public Warrants and in lieu of T1 Energy’s Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the T1 Energy Public Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each T1 Energy Public Warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by Alussa in connection with redemption rights held by shareholders of Alussa as provided for in Alussa’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a T1 Energy Public Warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such warrant holder had exercised the T1 Energy Public Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. Additionally, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Public Warrant properly exercises the T1 Energy Public Warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the T1 Energy Public Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Amended Warrant Agreement based on the per share consideration minus Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Amended Warrant Agreement) of the T1 Energy Public Warrant.
The T1 Energy Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of T1 Energy Public Warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their T1 Energy Public Warrants and receive Common Stock. After the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the T1 Energy Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
The Amended Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the T1 Energy Public Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of T1 Energy Public Warrants.
17
Private Warrants and Working Capital Warrants
The T1 Energy Private Warrants, including the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the T1 Energy Private Warrants, were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the Alussa Business Combination Second Closing (except, among other limited exceptions to Alussa’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor) and they were not redeemable by T1 Energy and will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Otherwise, the T1 Energy Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the T1 Energy Public Warrants. If the T1 Energy Private Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or their permitted transferees, the T1 Energy Private Warrants will be redeemable by T1 Energy and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as T1 Energy Public Warrants.
If holders of the T1 Energy Private Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (defined in the Amended Warrant Agreement), multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined in the Amended Warrant Agreement) over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.

Prior to FREYR Legacy’s business combination with Alussa, EDGE Global was granted two series of warrants (the “FREYR EDGE Warrants”) exercisable for shares of FREYR Legacy. The first series, 8,315,902 warrants exercisable until May 15, 2024 at an exercise price of NOK 1.44 per FREYR Legacy share was granted July 8, 2020 and exercised on May 15, 2024. The second series, 3,838,401 warrants exercisable until September 20, 2025 at an exercise price of NOK 1.85 per FREYR Legacy share was granted on October 6, 2020 and exercised on August 27, 2025. Each FREYR EDGE Warrant conferred an entitlement to subscribe for one ordinary share of FREYR Legacy. These FREYR EDGE Warrants were exchanged for 2,176,081 warrants of FREYR Lux, determined on the basis of a prescribed exchange ratio, with the exercise price of each of the 1,488,862 warrants of FREYR Lux received in exchange for the first series of FREYR EDGE Warrants being $0.95 and the exercise price of each of the 687,219 warrants of FREYR Lux received in exchange for the second series of FREYR EDGE Warrants being $1.22, each equal to the exercise price of the corresponding FREYR EDGE Warrant divided by a prescribed exchange ratio and converted to USD at a rate of 0.11848 USD per NOK. The terms of the warrants of FREYR issued in exchange for the FREYR EDGE Warrants were otherwise unchanged. These terms include a right for FREYR Lux, to settle the warrants received in exchange for the FREYR EDGE Warrants by cash payment of the fair market value (which shall correspond to at least the accounting par value of the FREYR Lux Ordinary Shares) and a right for EDGE Global to exercise the warrants received in exchange for the FREYR EDGE Warrants irrespective of any applicable vesting schedule.
Mr. Matrai, a T1 Energy director, and Mr. Jensen, the former T1 Energy Executive Chairman and former FREYR Lux CEO, are co-owners of EDGE Global. Upon the effectiveness of the redomiciliation, the warrants of T1 Energy held by EDGE Global became exercisable for one (1) Common Stock of T1 Energy on the same terms as those that governed these warrants immediately prior to the redomiciliation.
Exchange Listing
The T1 Energy Public Warrants are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TE WS.”

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our Common Stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and they may be attached to or separate from the other securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement that we will enter into with a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, as detailed in an accompanying prospectus supplement. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation, or agency or trust relationship, with you.
The accompanying prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of warrants will describe the terms of those warrants, which may include, when applicable:
| ● | the offering price; |
| ● | the currency or currencies, including composite currencies, in which the purchase price and/or exercise price of the warrants may be payable; |
| ● | the number of warrants offered; |
| ● | the exercise price and the amount of securities you will receive upon exercise; |
| ● | the procedure for exercise of the warrants and the circumstances, if any, that will cause the warrants to be automatically exercised; |
| ● | the rights, if any, we have to redeem the warrants; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the warrants will expire; |
| ● | the name of the warrant agent; and |
| ● | any other material terms of the warrants. |
After warrants expire they will become void. The accompanying prospectus supplement may provide for the adjustment of the exercise price of the warrants.
Warrants may be exercised at the appropriate office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Before the exercise of warrants, holders will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon exercise and will not be entitled to payments made to holders of those securities.
The description in an accompanying prospectus supplement of any warrants we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable warrant agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer warrants. For more information on how you can obtain copies of any warrant agreement if we offer warrants, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference.” We urge you to read the applicable warrant agreement and any accompanying prospectus supplement in their entirety.

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
We may issue subscription rights to purchase our Common Stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We may issue subscription rights independently or together with any other offered security, which may or may not be transferable by the securityholder. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.
The prospectus supplement relating to any subscription rights we may offer will contain the specific terms of the subscription rights. These terms may include the following:
| ● | the price, if any, for the subscription rights; |
| ● | the number and terms of each Common Stock or preferred stock or debt securities which may be purchased per each subscription right; |
| ● | the exercise price payable for each Common Stock or preferred stock or debt securities upon the exercise of the subscription rights; |
| ● | the extent to which the subscription rights are transferable; |
| ● | any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the subscription rights or the exercise price of the subscription rights; |
| ● | any other terms of the subscription rights, including the terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the subscription rights; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the subscription rights shall commence, and the date on which the subscription rights shall expire; |
| ● | the extent to which the subscription rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; and |
| ● | if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights. |
The description in an accompanying prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable subscription rights certificate or subscription rights agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of any subscription rights certificate or subscription rights agreement if we offer subscription rights, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.” We urge you to read the applicable subscription rights certificate, the applicable subscription rights agreement and any accompanying prospectus supplement in their entirety.
20
We may issue purchase units comprised of two or more of the securities described in this prospectus, in any combination. Each purchase unit will be issued so that the holder of the purchase unit is also the holder of each security included in the purchase unit. Thus, the holder of a purchase unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The purchase units or the purchase unit or other agreement, if any, under which a purchase unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the purchase unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of purchase units will describe, among other things:
| ● | the securities comprising the purchase units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; |
| ● | any material provisions related to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the purchase units or of the securities comprising the purchase units; and |
| ● | any other material provisions of the purchase units or governing unit or other agreement, if any. |
21
We are registering Common Stock, preferred stock, subscription rights, debt securities, purchase units and warrants with an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000,000, to be sold by us under a shelf registration process. We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including without limitation:
| ● | through underwriters for resale to purchasers; |
| ● | through dealers to purchasers; |
| ● | through agents to purchasers; |
| ● | directly to one or more purchasers; or |
| ● | through a combination of these methods of sale. |
In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend to our existing securityholders, subject to applicable Delaware law provisions.
Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
The securities may be sold in one or more transactions at:
| ● | fixed prices; |
| ● | prevailing market prices at the time of sale; |
| ● | prices related to such prevailing market prices; |
| ● | varying prices determined at the time of sale; or |
| ● | negotiated prices. |
These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:
| ● | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including NYSE; |
| ● | in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; |
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | one or more underwritten offerings; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Common Stock or T1 Energy Public Warrants as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its accounts; |
22
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | distributions to their members, partners or shareholders; |
| ● | short sales effected after the date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | in market transactions, including transactions on a national securities exchange or quotations service or over-the-counter market; |
| ● | in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; |
| ● | directly to one or more purchasers; |
| ● | through agents; |
| ● | any other method permitted by applicable law; or |
| ● | through any combination of the foregoing. |
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
At the time a particular offering of the securities is made, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers. We may suspend the sale of securities pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.
If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.
23
We may engage in at-the-market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement and/or any related free writing prospectus so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement and/or any related free writing prospectus, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of shares. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment) and/or any related free writing prospectus. In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement and/or any related free writing prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The accompanying prospectus supplement and/or any related free writing prospectus may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than one scheduled business day after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle more than one scheduled business day after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
All securities we may offer, other than Common Stock, will be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or any related free writing prospectus.
The anticipated date of delivery of offered securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or any related free writing prospectus relating to each offer.
For additional information regarding expenses of registration, see the section titled “Use of Proceeds” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
