• Auditor Resignation and Succession

  On July 8, 2026, HL&B resigned as independent auditor after CohnReznick acquired certain of its assets. The Audit Committee immediately appointed CohnReznick as the new auditor for fiscal year 2026.

• Proxy Vote Updated

  The supplement modifies Proposal Two in the June 30 proxy statement so that votes 'FOR' will ratify CohnReznick as the successor auditor, with no other changes to the proxy materials.

• Financial Context

  The auditor change comes amid recent financial challenges: a wider Q1 net loss, a $1.85 million vessel charter termination fee, and a modified loan agreement requiring a $5 million cash collateral account.

• Annual Meeting Date

  The annual meeting remains scheduled for August 10, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time.

HL&B resigned as Stabilis Solutions' auditor after selling certain assets to CohnReznick, which the board immediately appointed as the new auditor. Auditor changes can signal underlying issues, but here the transition appears driven by the acquisition rather than a dispute. The proxy supplement ensures shareholder votes on Proposal Two will ratify CohnReznick. Given the company's recent financial strain—wider losses, a terminated vessel charter costing $1.85M, and a modified loan requiring a $5M cash collateral account—any governance change warrants attention.
