Brenmiller Energy Closes on $1.05 Million Private
Placement with Existing Institutional Shareholder
Investor has the right to purchase 1 million
additional ordinary shares if the Company’s ordinary shares close at or above $2.50 per share within the next 12 months
Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, December 4, 2024
– Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (“Brenmiller”, “Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BNRG),
a leading global provider of thermal energy storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility customers, today announced
it has closed its previously announced private placement with one of the Company’s existing institutional investors for aggregate
gross proceeds of $1.05 million.
In connection with the private placement, the Company
sold to the investor 1,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company at a price of $1.05 per share, reflecting a 52% premium to the closing price
for the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq on August 2, 2024, the last closing price prior to when the securities purchase agreement
was signed, and a 33% premium to the closing price of $0.79 on December 4, 2024 when the private placement closed. The investor maintains
the right to make a further investment for 1,000,000 additional ordinary shares (or ordinary share equivalents) in the event that the
Company’s ordinary shares close at or above $2.50 per share within the next 12 months.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from
the private placement for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
The securities described above were sold in a
private placement and have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the

registration requirements. The securities purchase agreement with the investor provides for registration rights for the ordinary shares
and the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the ordinary shares within thirty (30)
days of closing.
This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities
in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
